Gu Xi was startled when he felt the gaze fall on him. He knew that he was currently in the Mind Shield state of the Mind Nether Lamp, and normal people would not be able to detect his presence.
But the oil lamp had its eyes on itself.
There must be some reason behind this.
As Gu Xi pondered this, he retreated, and at the same time, the armored figure wielding the [Vanguard Power - Shattered Formation] appeared, raising his Longsword and slashing at the oil lamp.
When the armored person made their move, they immediately activated the effect of the Charge Slash.
It was as if he had just taken a step in front of Gu Xi before unleashing this attack, but it gave the impression that he had charged over a hundred meters with heavy cavalry, and that everything had reached its peak.
The oil lamp that had fallen to the ground was immediately sent flying and crashed heavily onto the instrument not far away.
With that impact, the stack of instruments collapsed heavily, revealing various tubing-like structures behind them.
As the instrument was smashed open, all the tubing popped out and flew around automatically.
Some of these attacks even targeted the already fallen Dark Titan.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Gu Xi absolutely did not want this to happen.
"Sever everything!"
As Gu Xi gave the orders, he unleashed White Bone Storm at the instrument.
Gu Xi had initially considered taking the instruments back with him.
Now, Gu Xi has no such thoughts at all.
Gu Xi didn't want anything to go wrong at this time.
Even if he had to destroy these instruments, he couldn't allow anyone to jeopardize his operation.
So the White Bone Storm began to cut through the protruding pipes.
At the same time, the Bone Armor Centipede that had just climbed up from behind also received the order, so it immediately bit at the pipe.
These pipes were constantly swinging, and when the Bone Armor Centipede rushed over, these pipes actually wrapped themselves around the Bone Armor Centipede.
It's clear that this pipeline is designed to assimilate everything that can be accessed.
Faced with the situation before it, the Bone Armor Centipede remained unmoved. It kept waving its segmented legs, and with each wave, it severed a portion of the tubules.
Finally, the Bone Armor Centipede and these pipes began to fight.
This gave Gu Xi an opportunity, and he had the armored man step forward again, slashing at the oil lamp with his sword.
This sword strike lacked the momentum of the previous one, but its power was by no means weaker.
[Vanguard Power - Shattered Formation] explodes on the spot when it strikes the oil lamp, blowing the lamp cover off.
At this moment, Gu Xi noticed that after the lamp cover was cut open, the inside of the oil lamp was full of solidified Lamp Oil.
This Lamp Oil is like lard, solidified into a paste, but its color is black.
When Gu Xi looked down through the Lamp Oil, he could see what seemed to be something soaking below.
Without much thought, Gu Xi raised his right hand and pointed his Cold Wind Staff in that direction.
The Demon Right Hand flew towards the oil lamp, and before the lamp could react, it reached in and pulled out the thing that was soaking in the Lamp Oil.
It was a ruby the size of a human head.
The ruby was cut into 1,280 facets.
Each side is perfectly formed, but each side flickers with an eerie red light.
As the ruby was pulled out, the Lamp Oil in the lamp melted rapidly, seemingly transforming into arms that tried to snatch the ruby back.
But it was too late.
Gu Xi only heard a scream.
Do you know what you've done?
Then the ruby began to darken, and the eerie red light it was flashing slowly disappeared. Finally, it slowly shattered in the Demon Right Hand that Gu Xi had released, turning into powder that scattered into the Lamp Oil.
At the same time, various messages kept popping up in front of Gu Xi.
[You've obtained the Lamp God's Core (Level 17), but it's lacking core energy, and its quality is declining...]
The Lamp God's Core has dropped to level 15. Please provide energy to the Lamp God Core...
The Lamp God's Core has dropped to level 11. Please...
[...]
Before Gu Xi could react, the Lamp God Core, which was initially at level 17, slowly dissolved, leaving nothing behind.
No, that's not right. It wasn't that nothing was left behind. In the end, the Demon Right Hand.
This gemstone is only the size of a thumb, with six facets. Because it is pitch black, you can't see anything inside it at all.
You have obtained one Lamp God Core Fragment (Gray).
[Lamp God Core Fragment (Gray): Originally the memory and soul core of a high-ranking Genie, but due to certain reasons, this part of the soul lost its original function, and eventually its core fragment was also affected, unable to be infused with any more memories or soul.]
When this message popped up, the Lamp Oil that had reached out from the lamp to snatch the Lamp God Core stopped moving.
Everything seemed to have been paused, frozen in place.
Only the various pipes under the instruments not far away were still waving incessantly, trying to make a final struggle.
Gu Xi glanced at the oil lamp and waved his hand forcefully.
"Kill him!"
Under Gu Xi's command, the two Death Avatar rushed out simultaneously, joining the attack on the pipeline.
As for Mido and Isabella, who had come with him, they remained behind Gu Xi, waiting for his further orders.
Gu Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he had his men deal with the pipes behind the instrument.
He reached out and took the Lamp God Core Fragment from his hand, already having some idea of what was going on in this world.
However, Gu Xi is still unsure whether the Genie in front of him is a good person or a bad person.
Why did he do that?
With this thought in mind, Gu Xi walked over to the broken oil lamp.
He reached out and lifted the huge oil lamp, a smile appearing on his face.
Just as Gu Xi had guessed, the oil lamp was the body of the Genie.
However, compared to the core that was previously immersed in the oil lamp, the condition of this body is much worse.
The body in front of me is only maintaining a level 7.
At the same time, due to the influence of some forces, the Genie's body is undergoing an irreversible mutation.
Gu Xi couldn't yet discern the direction of the mutation.
But one thing is clear: this mutation is definitely not a good thing.
Thinking of this, Gu Xi couldn't help but sigh.
Just as Gu Xi was about to let go and take a look at the battle on the other end of the instrument, a thought suddenly flashed through Gu Xi mind.
He turned and looked again at the broken oil lamp.
Gu Xi had only gone forward to check before, without thinking much about it, so in his eyes, the oil lamp was no longer useful.
But just now, a thought flashed through Gu Xi's mind: perhaps this Genie could be transformed into a spirit of the dead.
Even though the shattered Lamp God Core has turned gray, it still contains some memories.
Just like with the Ghost Dragon before, this is Gu Xi's best chance to understand this world.
After all, nothing understands this world in more detail than the most fundamental being in this world.
