Su Xi watched the scene unfold, knowing she had the upper hand. She decided not to miss the opportunity and prepare to press her advantage.
Strike while the iron is hot.
Otherwise, if the formation spirit recovered, she wasn't sure if she could still win.
But soon, Su Xi realized something was not right.
Everything seemed too smooth.
It wasn't that she was masochistic and wished for some setbacks, but rather that everything in front of her was simply unrealistic.
The moment the Fire Spirit Orb flew towards the formation spirit, the formation spirit didn't even show the slightest will to resist. Not only did it have no will to resist, but it also actively absorbed the Fire Spirit Orb into its body.
However, before Su Xi could ponder what was happening, the Fire Spirit Orb exploded violently within the formation spirit's body.
The violent explosion produced intense fluctuations, and under a powerful blast wave, Su Xi couldn't even open her eyes. By the time the blast wave subsided, the formation spirit was gone without a trace, not even a shard remained, and the Fire Spirit Orb had also vanished.
"Strange," Su Xi thought, having dealt with the enemy, but her confusion only deepened.
Although the formation spirit had low intelligence, it certainly wouldn't commit suicide. The only explanation now was that everything was premeditated.
The formation spirit's purpose in appearing wasn't to harm her, but to be killed.
Suddenly, the absurd thought flashed through Su Xi's mind. She turned her gaze to True Person Tiangang not far away and murmured.
If all of this was indeed strange, then True Person Tiangang was the biggest orchestrator.
But when she looked at True Person Tiangang, she found him busy setting up a formation, completely oblivious to everything happening here.
Sensing Su Xi's gaze, he finally looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Su Xi shook her head, suppressing the unrealistic doubts in her heart.
Seeing Su Xi's silence, True Person Tiangang stood up from the ground. "Let's go. Everything here is over."
"Are you done setting it up?" Su Xi glanced behind True Person Tiangang but saw nothing. It seemed True Person Tiangang had done nothing, just played a minor role.
Hearing Su Xi's words, True Person Tiangang smiled slightly and prompted, "Use your Five Elements power and take a closer look?"
Upon hearing this, Su Xi immediately tried to channel the power of the Five Elements into her eyes and looked behind True Person Tiangang again. Sure enough, what was originally ordinary now appeared different.
Behind True Person Tiangang were densely packed thin lines, like a spider web, intricate and complex.
"What is this?" A thought instantly flashed in Su Xi's mind.
Having to constantly mobilize the power of the Five Elements to see the traps would be very troublesome.
If there were other means to create a method to easily see formation traps, wouldn't that be a huge business opportunity?
At the thought of this, a new idea immediately surfaced in Su Xi's mind.
Everything seemed within reach.
As long as she could figure out the principle, she could use the supercomputer within her body to replicate this ability, and then who knew how many experts she could cultivate.
"Hello?" True Person Tiangang looked at the silent Su Xi and couldn't help but call out.
Looking at a formation, why did she look like she'd gone stupid?
His formation was profound, but it didn't seem to have the effect of making people stupid.
Hearing True Person Tiangang's voice, Su Xi snapped back to reality and casually offered a compliment, "Nothing much, just admiring your skill, Ancestor."
True Person Tiangang gave her a look of disbelief and didn't want to dwell on it. He said, "Let's go. Since we're done here, let's get to some real business."
"What real business?" Su Xi rubbed her head, completely unaware of any other tasks. It seemed her mission was already complete.
True Person Tiangang pointed to his stomach and said with a helpless sigh, "We've been busy for so long, shouldn't we eat something?"
Su Xi: "..."
Hearing this, she suddenly felt an urge to betray her master.
But thinking of True Person Tiangang's formidable strength, she finally managed a smile. "When we came earlier, I think we saw a city not far from here. Let's go check it out. And, the Fire Spirit Orb seemed to have headed in that direction just now."
"Alright," True Person Tiangang felt that as long as he could fill his stomach, it didn't matter where they ate, the key was that they could eat.
With True Person Tiangang's agreement, Su Xi summoned their flying artifact, and they flew towards the city they had seen earlier.
As they traveled towards the town, True Person Tiangang couldn't help but glance back at the place where the village had been. For some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity with the place.
But soon, he dismissed the thought. It was useless to think about these things now; he needed to recover his lost memories first.
After flying for a while on the artifact, Su Xi could already see the outline of the city.
Because there were aerial ban formations outside the city, Su Xi had to land in advance at the city gate.
Seeing the environment around the city gate, Su Xi's forehead was filled with questions.
At the city gate, emaciated refugees could be seen lying on the ground, listlessly looking at the sky, barely clinging to life.
A group of refugees surrounded him, their eyes glowing green, constantly licking their lips. A large pot had already been set up nearby, clearly prepared to pounce and eat him as soon as he breathed his last.
Others were accustomed to this scene and showed no objection. They either sat quietly in place or chose to join the cannibalistic feast.
Su Xi frowned upon seeing this.
She had never expected to witness such a scene.
However, despite her compassion, she didn't intend to interfere. Every place had its own rules of survival, and she couldn't disrupt them.
After all, even if she could save one person, she couldn't save everyone. And once the rules were broken, many more would die.
True Person Tiangang was also accustomed to this scene, so he simply followed Su Xi into the city.
As they walked into the city, Su Xi's steps halted. She was once again taken aback by the scene before her.
It wasn't that the scene was even more horrific, but rather that everything within the city appeared very prosperous, forming a stark contrast with the desolation outside.
What was going on?
Su Xi couldn't fathom such a vast difference just a wall apart.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that what she had seen earlier was true.
Just as Su Xi was marveling, a man with a rather sleazy appearance walked over, a smile on his face as he looked at Su Xi. "Miss, this is your first time in our Rong City, isn't it?"
"Yes," Su Xi nodded, looking at the man with interest.
She knew this man had ill intentions, but in order to understand the strangeness of this city, she needed to glean some information from him.
Upon hearing Su Xi's reply, the man's expression became even more delighted.
In Rong City, Su Xi's beauty was enough to rank among the top three.
If he could sell Su Xi, he could become rich and embark on a path to prosperity.
With this thought, he tried his best to appear sincere and invited, "Miss, since it's your first time in Rong City, let me take you to a place that will surely leave you unforgettable."
"Oh, really?" Su Xi feigned interest and asked expectantly, "Brother, where are you taking me?"
