The ice spear pierced precisely into the joints and energy core of the modified creature.
The extreme freezing power erupted instantly, the green liquid quickly solidified, the modified creature's movements became sluggish and stiff, and even the mental pollution around it seemed to be frozen for a moment.
“Pluh, its core seems to be connected to the spiritual energy of this environment, and it can continuously draw energy to repair itself,” Ais explained. “We must completely destroy its core, or sever its connection with the environment.”
Without hesitation, Gu Xi controlled hundreds of mental spikes with her mind, which flew nimbly, bypassing the slowed attacks of the modified creature and stabbing at the sea beast pearl inside its chest cavity, which was flashing an unstable red light, from various tricky angles.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!" The spikes collided with the outer metal armor of the core, producing a series of clanging sounds. Although they failed to penetrate immediately, they successfully disrupted the flow of energy.
The modified creature roared in fury, its grafted metal parts firing chaotic energy beams that struck the ice puck's shield, creating ripples.
"Whoosh! This guy's gone mad!" Flame Scale dodged the occasional energy shockwaves that pierced through the cracks in the ice while continuing to burn the opponent's limbs with flames to restrict his movements.
Ais continuously used her freezing power to suppress the opponent's self-healing ability and energy absorption.
Ice and fire, combined with Gu Xi's precise control, work in perfect harmony to form an effective tactic.
Just then, Gu Xi keenly noticed that while they were fighting the modified creatures, the chaotic mental energy in the surrounding environment seemed to become more active, as if it were drawn to the battle.
A thought struck her, and she manipulated some of the spikes, no longer directly attacking the core, but instead attempting to sever the invisible energy connections between the modified creature and the surrounding space.
Sure enough, when several sharp spikes precisely pierced several specific energy nodes around the modified creature, the red light on its body suddenly dimmed, and its self-healing speed also slowed down abruptly.
"Now!" Gu Xi shouted.
Ais understood and unleashed her full freezing power, completely freezing the modified creature into an ice sculpture.
Flame Scale, having gathered all its strength, unleashed an unprecedentedly concentrated pillar of blue-purple fire, which struck the ice sculpture's chest.
"Crack—Boom!"
The ice shattered, flames pierced through, and the core of the modified creature was finally and completely destroyed, turning into a pile of charred remains. The twisted body also collapsed, emitting a final, tainted wave of spiritual energy before falling into complete silence.
"Pfft... all done." Flame Scale breathed a sigh of relief and flicked its tail. "This place is too eerie."
Gu Xi did not let her guard down. Her mental power sensed that deep within this enormous ruin, there seemed to be more similar auras, or even... more powerful beings.
She looked at the two fish, believing that what she could sense, they could also sense.
The one person and two fish carefully bypassed the remains of the modified creature and continued onward.
Along the way, they encountered several more waves of similar modified creatures. Although their strength varied, they became more and more adept at killing them, and with their tacit cooperation, they managed to defeat them all without any major incidents.
After passing through several broken corridors, they arrived at a relatively spacious area.
This appears to be a large experimental area, with several huge, petri dish-like glass columns in the center, but the liquid inside has long since dried up, leaving only some indistinct biological tissue residue.
The walls were covered with screens, most of which were damaged, with only a few still flashing snow or displaying intermittent characters.
"Look over there!" Flame Scale suddenly pointed to a corner.
Beside a relatively intact lab bench lay several metal plates, covered with densely engraved text and diagrams. Gu Xi approached and began to examine them closely.
"Ais, come here, there are also pictographs and symbols here."
Upon hearing this, Ai Si quickly came over.
These characters were not in the Tartong language, but some of the symbols and diagrams sent a chill down the spines of both Gu Xi and Ai Si.
"These are blueprints about mental energy transmission and sea beast beads?" Although Gu Xi couldn't read Tar script, he could still recognize some of the content from the drawings alone.
