Hao Ren and Nangong Wuyue curiously looked at Y’zaks as he jumped into the pit. He then ignored the pungent smell and warm ashes along the way, striding to the oval wreckage. He proceeded to tear apart the shell of the egg-shaped structure.

The sturdy ship's alloy plate creaked under the big demon's brute force. The alloy plate itself had experienced the double loss of both crash impact and high-temperature burning. Its strength had been greatly reduced. And now, it encountered such a violent way of demolition. Out of nowhere, a few pieces of deformed, blackened metal were torn down by Y’zaks. Hao Ren and Nangong Wuyue glanced at each other then, hurriedly ran towards Y’zaks.

"I smell something familiar here," Y’zaks said without turning his head. He was still busy within the pile of twisted metal wreckage. The electrical sparks and residual radiation from the spacecraft's propulsion seemed to be nonexistent to him. "Look at this. These pipes; the traces of corrosion. It did not burn instead, it was attacked by something before it fell."

Nangong Wuyue frowned. The burning smell that pervaded the place made her very uncomfortable. The siren made a few strange gestures and drew something in the air. A faint, light blue shadow exuded from her body and diffused into the space quickly like phantom waves. The air surrounding the wreckage suddenly became fresh, and it was filled with a soothing vapor.

Hao Ren was surprised to find that Nangong Wuyue possessed the function of an air humidifier. Vivian had the function of air-conditioning, Y’zaks had the function of the stove and Lily had the function of security door. Now, there was another one who could act as the air humidifier. Hao Ren felt that he could form a weird yet wonderful, self-made ecological circle in his own home sooner or later.

"I don’t see anything special," Nangong Wuyue said. She took a deep breath and finally felt better. However, she was clueless in terms of the messy pipes and parts from the wreckage of the spaceship. She could not understand why Y’zaks, a demon from another world, would know about these high-tech gadgets. "You comprehend it?"

"I don’t really comprehend it as well but, I can feel that there is a familiar residual power here." Y’zaks twisted his finger and a little, green demonic flame burst forth from his fingers. The flame fell on the hull of the spaceship and left behind a greenish, black stain. "Over time, these corrosion traces become very similar to scorch marks but, the remnants of the magic can’t be hidden. There is magic in the ship's pipes, which belong to the demon race... the Balrogs or Terror Demons. Of course, it could also belong to a higher-order demon like me."

"The spaceship was hit by demons?" Hao Ren was quite surprised. "There are demons on this planet?! I have to report it quickly!"

"No, they're not here anymore." Y’zaks looked up at the sky and continued, "There’s a strong sense of power between demons. I can be sure that there’s only a demon, which is me on this planet right now. Unless, the demon is so weak that I can’t detect it but, that’s unlikely. Such a weak demon has no threat against this rugged device."

"Anyway, it has to be reported," the MDT said in a rare serious tone. "There shouldn't be any demons in this area... And there hasn't been any recent application for the demon race to pass through here. It’s most probably a case of illegal immigration. On top of that, they even attacked the civil carriers employed by the Empire. It’s not a joke… Damn, those goblins just can’t be trusted. They treat the crash of a ship as daily routine. They probably won’t be aware that their ship is being hit unless they are hit with a missile right in the face.

Now Hao Ren really wanted to know, what kind of magical creatures were these goblins. Why do they sound like the gang of profiteers in the old street?

Nangong Wuyue walked around in a circle to observe the debris scattered on the ground. From time to time, she lifted a piece of debris and looked at it curiously, pretending to be an expert. At last, she appeared to find something interesting. "Do you think this dent looks like a leg?"

She held a large metal plate about a meter or so in length and width (the girl had a pair of strong arms indeed). The metal plate was also burnt and blackened. The most obvious feature was a very visible dent in the middle of the metal plate. The shape of the dent looked like a kick from someone but, the way it bent was a little weird. Hao Ren realized something after looking at it for quite some time: reversal of the knee.

"It’s really a trace left behind by demons." Hao Ren immediately remembered that Y’zaks also had a similar reversal of the knee when he was in demon form but, his leg was much larger than the dent in front of him. "Are demons that bold? They even dare to kick this spaceship? Plus, this one looks like the kick was slanted…"

Y’zaks did not utter a word. He looked at the traces on the metal plate thoughtfully as though he was trying to determine the characteristics of the attackers. Finally, he shook his head and said, "Let’s go and carry out our business. Report the situation here to the goddess. She’ll find a way to discover the cause."

"You trust her quite a lot," Hao Ren muttered and took the lead in getting out of the pit.

The next station for the three of them was a mountain 200 kilometers away. It was obviously a bit far to go on foot this time. However, long-distance traveling was not a problem for Hao Ren anymore. He looked at his MDT quietly. "This is for the mission. Go and mark the teleportation point!"

"You're lazy!" the MDT left those words angrily and disappeared into the sky in a stream. The sound it made was explosive like thunder piercing the ear. The starting speed was about Mach 10.

The MDT's teleportation ability was already activated but, it needed to record the coordinates of the target point before it can be routed there. If Hao Ren had to go along with it to record the coordinates, the limitation would have been a joke. However, thanks to the Empire's advanced technology, the MDT was able to do it alone, and its speed was definitely faster than any vehicle that Hao Ren had ever seen on Earth. After a few minutes, the MDT appeared directly in front of them. This time it directly teleported back.

"Don’t go up the hill. Let’s go directly to the bottom of the sea." The MDT sounded very unpleasant. "The debris at the crash point on the mountain is the main part of the carrier. It's severely damaged and now evenly distributed throughout the mountain. The cargo pod should be at the bottom of the sea."

Hao Ren patted his head and thought: Why did I not think of letting the MDT explore it earlier?

The third falling point was even farther away. It had a straight distance of 2000 kilometers away, and they had to dive vertically down without knowing how deep the actual point is. Needless to say, it was time for Nangong Wuyue to do her job.

"Diving directly into the sea..." Hao Ren looked at Nangong Wuyue and asked, "Can you bring people along?"

"I can take one." Nangong Wuyue looked at Hao Ren with a happy face. "I'll bring you along. Y’zaks’ big body really gives me some stress. And he’s naturally a fire dweller, which is absolutely unsuitable for diving."

"I’ll help you watch the luggage then." Y’zaks nodded with a smile and did not mind.

After the three of them allocated their work, the MDT began to emit a faint, blue light and said, "I’ve been to the sea just now and recorded the coordinates. Get ready, we’re going to teleport… Let’s go!"

A curtain of light enveloped the three of them, and when they opened their eyes, they were already above the sea, 2000 kilometers away.

The sea of 2000 kilometers away... There was no land within thousands of miles, not even an island. However, the situation Hao Ren had envisioned, where they would be sent directly into the water and become drowned rats did not occur (with the MDT as a partner, he was accustomed to expecting the worst). The moment the teleportation was completed, and he felt his body falling, he heard Nangong Wuyue make a strange sound. It sounded like a scream but with a strange sense of rhythm. It was as though the sound stabbed straight into the soul of man. Along with this scream, the surrounding water condensed instantly and turned into a surface of solid ice before Hao Ren and Y’zaks fell down.

It was a little painful to fall on the floating ice. However, for the current Hao Ren, it was just like falling over onto his butt. Plus, it was much better than directly dropping into the sea.

Nangong Wuyue did not fall on the ice. She jumped straight into the blue sea excitedly. In between the splashes of water, Hao Ren saw glittering, golden-red scales flashing. Then, the siren girl disappeared. It was not until he got a little impatient, waiting on the floating ice that the she suddenly popped up. She leapt out and swam happily in the water.

Hao Ren stared blankly at the "Mermaid Princess" and said to himself, "It's as though she's at home… What a big tail."

He was probably the first guy who only responded with, "What a big tail." when he saw a mermaid.
