Hao Ren and Nangong Wuyue watched curiously as Y 'zaks jumped into the pit. Ignoring the pungent smell and the warm ashes, he strode up to the oval-shaped wreckage and tore at the egg-shaped metal shell.
The sturdy alloy plates of the spaceship creaked under the demon's brute force. The alloy plates had been damaged by the impact of the crash and the high temperature, so their strength was greatly reduced. Now that they were being dismantled by such a violent method, a few pieces of deformed, charred metal were torn off by Y 'zaks. Hao Ren and Nangong Wuyue looked at each other and hurried over.
"I sense a familiar smell here." Y 'zaks did not even lift his head as he busied himself in the pile of twisted metal wreckage. The sparks and the residual radiation of the spaceship's propulsion system did not seem to exist to him. "Look at this, and these pipes — they're corroded. They're not burnt, but they were attacked by something before the crash."
Nangong Wuyue frowned. The scorching air made her feel uncomfortable. The siren maiden made a few strange gestures in the air, and a pale blue, ethereal shadow spread out from her body like the shadow of a wave. Now, there was another one who could act as a humidifier. Hao Ren felt that it was only a matter of time before he built up a self-produced ecosystem in his own home.
"I don't see anything special." Nangong Wuyue took a deep breath and felt a little better. But she knew nothing about the mess of pipes and parts in the spaceship wreckage. She could not understand why a demon like Y 'zaks would understand such high-tech gadgets. "You can understand it?"
"I can't either, but I can feel a familiar residual power here." Y 'zaks twirled his fingers, and a green demonic flame burst out from between his fingers. The flame landed on the outer shell of the spaceship wreckage, and immediately left a black and green corrosive mark. "As time passes, these corrosive marks will become very similar to scorch marks, but there's no way to hide its residual magic energy. There's the smell of magic energy in the spaceship wreckage. It's a demonic race … Balrog, Terror Demon, and of course, a higher demon like me."

It's a demonic race … Balrog, Terror Demon, and of course, a higher demon like me."
"The spaceship was shot down by a demon?" Hao Ren was surprised. "There are demons on this planet?! We have to report this! "
"No, they're not here anymore." Y 'zaks looked up at the sky. "Demons have a strong sense of perception. I'm sure that I'm the only demon on this planet. Unless the other party is so weak that I can't detect it, I can't sense it. But that's not possible. A demon that weak is no threat to a sturdy device like this."
"Anyway, we have to report this." The MDT sounded serious. "There shouldn't be any demons in this part of the galaxy. We haven't received any applications from the demon race to pass through here. Most likely, they're illegal immigrants. They even attacked the civilian transport ship hired by the Empire. This is no joke. Damn, those goblins. Crashing spaceships is a daily occurrence for them. Unless they're hit in the face with a missile, they won't even realize that their spaceship was shot down!"
Hao Ren really wanted to know what kind of people the goblins were. Why did they sound so much like the profiteers in the old street?
Wuyue walked around in a circle to observe the twisted debris scattered on the ground. She would lift a piece up curiously from time to time, pretending to be an expert. Finally, she seemed to find something that interested her. "Look at this dent. Doesn't it look like a leg?"
She was holding a large metal plate about one meter in length and width in her hand. The metal plate was also burnt black. The most obvious feature was the dent in the middle. The shape of the dent looked like someone had kicked it. But the way it was bent was a little weird. Hao Ren looked at it for a long time before he figured out what was going on: a knee twist.
"It's really a mark left by a demon." Hao Ren suddenly remembered that Y 'zaks also had a knee twist like this when he was in his demon form. But his leg was much bigger than the dent in front of him. "Are all you demons so bold? You even dared to kick a spacecraft that fell from the sky? And this one seems to have kicked askew … "
Y 'zaks did not say anything. He just looked at the mark left on the metal plate with a thoughtful look. He seemed to be trying to determine the characteristics of the attacker. Finally, he shook his head. "Let's go. Let's get down to business. Report the situation here to the goddess. She will find a way to find out."
"You really trust her." Hao Ren muttered and took the lead to walk out of the pit.
The next stop was a mountain 200 kilometers away. This time, it was a bit far to run on foot. But long-distance travel was not a problem for Hao Ren now. He looked at his MDT silently. "This time, it's for the mission. Go mark the teleportation point!"
"You're lazy!" The MDT said angrily. It then turned into a stream of light and disappeared at the end of the sky. The sound of the MDT's sonic boom was like thunder. It was moving at a speed of more than 10 Mach.
The MDT had now opened the teleportation function. But before the teleportation, it first needed to record the coordinates of the destination point. If Hao Ren had to bring it along, the limitation of this function would be a bit ridiculous. But thanks to the advanced technology of the Empire, the MDT could run around on its own, and its speed was definitely faster than any vehicle that Hao Ren had seen on Earth. In just a few minutes, the MDT appeared directly in front of the three of them. This time, it had teleported directly back.
"Don't go up the mountain. Let's go straight to the bottom of the sea." The MDT sounded very unhappy. "The crash site on the mountain is the main part of the carrier. It was the most seriously damaged. Now, it is evenly distributed throughout the mountain. The cargo compartment should be at that point on the bottom of the sea."
Hao Ren smacked his head. Why didn't he think of letting the MDT go directly to the bottom of the sea?
The third crash site was even further away. It was a straight line distance of 2,000 kilometers, and they still had to dive vertically. Needless to say, it was time for Nangong Wuyue to make her appearance.
"Dive straight to the bottom of the sea …" Hao Ren looked at Nangong Wuyue. "Can you dive with someone?"
"I can." Nangong Wuyue looked at Hao Ren with a smile. "I'll bring you down. Brother Y 'zaks' size is really stressful. Besides, he's a fire elemental by nature. He's definitely not suitable for diving."
"I'll look after your luggage up there." Y 'zaks smiled and nodded. He did not mind.
The MDT saw that the three of them had assigned their tasks. It began to emit a faint blue light. "I've been to the sea just now. I've recorded the coordinates. Get ready, let's teleport … Let's go!"
A curtain of light enveloped the three of them. When they opened their eyes again, they were already on the sea 2,000 kilometers away.
The sea 2,000 kilometers away … There was no land for thousands of miles, not even an island. However, the situation that Hao Ren expected to be teleported directly into the water did not happen (with the MDT as a partner, he was used to planning in the wrong direction). The moment the teleportation was completed, just as he felt his body falling, he heard Nangong Wuyue let out a strange sound. It sounded like a scream, but with a strange rhythm, almost piercing to the soul. With this scream, the surrounding seawater instantly froze. Before Hao Ren and Y 'zaks could fall, it had turned into solid ice.
It was a little painful to fall on the floating ice, but for Hao Ren, it was like falling on his butt. It was much better than soaking in the sea.
Nangong Wuyue did not land on the ice. Instead, she leaped into the blue ocean with an excited expression on her face. Amid the splashing of water, Hao Ren only saw a shining golden-red scale flash before his eyes. Then, the siren maiden was nowhere to be seen. Just as he was getting impatient waiting on the floating island, she suddenly popped her head out from under his nose. Like a carp leaping through the dragon gate, the siren maiden was overjoyed in the water.
Hao Ren stared at the 'mermaid princess' and could not help but say to himself, "It's finally her home turf … What a big tail."
He was probably the first guy to say 'what a big tail' after seeing a mermaid.
