Just as Ouyang Chuge was about to help, to block the demonic energy from affecting Su Xi, he suddenly noticed that Su Xi beside him looked calm, completely unaffected by the demonic energy.
???
(⊙_⊙)?
Looking at Su Xi's behavior at this moment, Ouyang Chuge doubted his own judgment for the first time and became more suspicious of Su Xi's identity.
Could it be that Su Xi was not human, but a genuine demon?
However, soon, his confusion turned into shock.
Good heavens, he suddenly realized that Su Xi was not only not eroded by the demonic energy but was actually absorbing and utilizing it.
This discovery made his heart waver again.
Had he truly misjudged?
However, he had never heard of a demon that could absorb and utilize demonic energy so monstrously. Who exactly was Su Xi?
Su Xi looked at Ouyang Chuge, who was愣 (lèng) at the doorway, unaware of his inner thoughts. She turned back and called out, "What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and come in."
Since the prison could be discovered, this place might also be discovered soon.
Therefore, for the sake of caution, they had to be quick.
After all, they were here to steal things and needed to have the mindset of a thief.
"Oh." Ouyang Chuge came to his senses, nodded, and listlessly followed Su Xi into the stone door.
No matter how strange Su Xi was, he would find out soon enough.
Upon entering the stone door and seeing the scene inside, he was instantly stunned and speechless for a long time.
He had originally expected some kind of dangerous place, but instead, it turned out to be a treasure trove beyond compare.
Inside were piled all sorts of demonic artifacts, many of which were of such high quality that he himself felt tempted.
Su Xi and Ouyang Chuge looked at the scene before them and were deeply perplexed.
These treasures were placed so casually, it was a complete waste.
After all, if these treasures were equipped on other demons, they would undoubtedly enhance their combat power. Then, when fighting against humans, they would surely gain the upper hand.
Now, leaving them here gave the feeling of a pearl being covered in dust.
"Do you know what they are doing?" Su Xi, unable to understand these strange behaviors of the demons, could only ask the person involved.
Ouyang Chuge, as a member of the demon race, and seemingly not of low standing, might know something.
When Ouyang Chuge heard Su Xi's question, he was about to say he didn't know, but a sudden flash of inspiration struck his mind, and he immediately understood what those people intended to do.
That matter required immense courage, which was why he hadn't thought of it earlier.
Seeing Ouyang Chuge standing there silently, only smiling, Su Xi gave him a big eye-roll and secretly drew a small circle around him in her heart.
What was this guy so smug about?
Couldn't he just say what he had to say?
"Are you going to speak or not? If you don't, I'll handle it my own way." Su Xi looked at the silent Ouyang Chuge and rolled up her sleeves, preparing to act.
Although she didn't know what the demons were up to, she knew that the items before her were all treasures. As long as she took all these items and used her supercomputer to extract their essence, she wouldn't have come here in vain.
If she couldn't use the demons' treasures, couldn't she use their energy?
"Don't do anything rash, I'll tell you." Ouyang Chuge looked helplessly at Su Xi's posture and quickly stopped her.
He had just realized that Su Xi's behavior was not a genuine threat, and if he didn't explain clearly, Su Xi would really act.
The treasures in this place were not piled up here for no reason; they were used to extract abundant demonic energy to supply the entire demon base.
Although the Sky Scar was about to open, the demonic energy emanating from the fissures was insufficient to meet the normal cultivation needs of the demons.
Therefore, to ensure the cultivation of the entire demon race and to maintain the operation of these demonic formations, such a large quantity of treasures was kept here.
Hearing Ouyang Chuge's explanation, Su Xi instantly understood what all this was for, and a smile spread across her face.
Since these things were so important, if she could destroy this place, she could defeat the enemy without a fight.
Ouyang Chuge saw the eager expression on Su Xi's face and understood what she was thinking. He rubbed his head helplessly and quickly warned, "Don't have any wild ideas. While your idea is good, there's a formation here. You won't be able to get anything, and you'll get hurt. At that time..."
Before Ouyang Chuge could finish his words, he saw Su Xi pick up a piece of demonic energy-filled item in front of her.
???
Seeing Su Xi's action, Ouyang Chuge was speechless.
What had happened?
Why was Su Xi not only unharmed but also able to pick up the item?
"What were you saying? I didn't hear you clearly?" Su Xi looked at Ouyang Chuge with an expression that seemed to say, "Say that again."
Ouyang Chuge didn't want to complain about Su Xi, but opened his mouth and asked in disbelief, "Why are you okay?"
"Should I not be okay?" Su Xi put the item in her hand into her spatial storage and looked at Ouyang Chuge, waiting for him to continue.
Ouyang Chuge frowned and looked at Su Xi, asking confusedly, "Didn't you feel the pain of your soul being pulled or torn apart?"
The formation here was called the Heart-Rending Formation. Besides being an excellent defensive formation, it also possessed soul-attacking capabilities.
Ordinary people would be overwhelmed by simply getting close.
Many people with weaker souls would have their souls directly devoured. Even the Nascent Soul of a cultivator in the Soul Transformation stage would be drawn in if sensed by the formation.
Yet, Su Xi was not only unharmed but seemed to be completely unaffected.
This matter itself revealed something very unusual.
Su Xi did not recognize formations and therefore did not know how terrifying this formation was. Facing Ouyang Chuge's question, she shook her head, "I'm fine."
Since there was no problem, there would naturally be no impact.
The reason she dared to act was that she had already detected it with her supercomputer and knew there was no danger.
"No way." Ouyang Chuge mumbled doubtfully and reached out his hand to the nearest item to him, wanting to try it himself.
This formation might have malfunctioned due to the long passage of time, which was why Su Xi was unharmed when she touched it.
But as soon as he touched a ring beside him, his entire body felt as if it had been electrocuted, and a tingling sensation ran from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.
What made him feel even worse was a tearing pain that rapidly invaded his brain, almost making him cry out in agony.
In an instant, it felt as if someone was ripping away his soul.
"No."
Ouyang Chuge's body had not yet recovered, and he was now facing an attack on his soul, which he could not cope with. Within a few breaths, his body was severely injured. His face instantly flushed, he felt a sweetness in his throat, and the taste of blood filled his mouth.
