Boom!
The Mechanical City, like a giant beast, bared its terrifying fangs at the mountain.
Numerous enormous drill bits, each several hundred meters in diameter, formed an array poised to fiercely bite into the mountain ahead.
However, just as the Mechanical City was about to initiate, Su Yu called it off.
Because with his keen eyes, Su Yu noticed something writhing on the surface of the mountain.
Those things utilized some method of invisibility, but it had little effect in front of Su Yu.
Focusing his spirit, the scene before him rapidly enlarged, and he clearly saw those writhing things were actually a group of humans!
These humans all wore black armor, and black mist emanated from them. Seeing the black mist on them, Su Yu felt it was very familiar; it was the aura of high-rank Ghost Energy!
"Are they the Ghost Emperor’s followers?"
Su Yu thought to himself.
Besides the Ghost Emperor, no one else could utilize high-rank Ghost Energy.
The Ghost Emperor actually sent people to the Giant God Soldier Camp, the outskirts, to try and cross the mountain and enter inside. What could be their intention?
The number of these people wasn’t small, at least several thousand.
Their armor’s sturdiness was extremely high, reaching up to six-star top-tier!
There were even a few with a seven-star aura!
Su Yu was slightly surprised; where did the Ghost Emperor find so many followers? Could it be that his empire’s subjects also revived with him?
"No, there are also those criminals among them!"
Su Yu recognized some familiar faces among the Ghost Emperor’s followers, who were criminals from the settlement residents.
They were expelled by Su Yu from the Mechanical City, fell to the ground, and in such a short time, they managed to associate with the Ghost Emperor’s followers, and now even wore six-star Ghost Energy armors.
However, Ghost Energy has a powerful corrosive nature. Although these people gained great strength, their complexions didn’t look particularly well.
Originally, there were tens of thousands of criminals expelled from the Mechanical City, but only one to two thousand were here. Who knows where the rest are?
"It seems the Ghost Emperor has a high demand for people, even criminals are welcomed by him."
"No wonder, the Ghost Emperor himself isn’t a good person either, accepting a group of criminals is no big deal."
"Having just revived, he’s probably looking to rebuild his empire and is currently short of manpower, so he’ll take whoever he can."
As Su Yu was thinking, many residents in the city sensed the commotion and quickly came out.
Seeing the enormous drill bits exposed outside the Mechanical City, they were all in awe.
Such colossal Mechanical Creation could be considered a marvel, with engines roaring, showcasing the beauty of industrial machinery.
They first admired the massive drill bits, then looked at the mountain blocking the way and immediately understood what Su Yu intended to do, all showing expressions of excitement.
"Who would have thought that such a domineering machine was hidden beneath the Mechanical City!"
"Is Mr. Su Yu planning to tunnel through the mountain?"
"Certainly! It’s truly domineering; if a mountain is in the way, simply tunnel through it. Such is the power of machinery, the power of humanity!"
"Those drill bits look so powerful!"
"But why hasn’t Mr. Su Yu started yet?"
The crowd buzzed with discussion, eager to witness it with their own eyes.
Given the scale of the Mechanical City, once excavation begins, it wouldn’t just be creating a tunnel; it would carve through the entire mountain, slicing it apart.
The power to move mountains!
Such a miraculous feat hasn’t been witnessed by anyone in this era, so naturally, they were very excited.
Yet Su Yu’s delay in starting the excavation puzzled them.
At this moment, Su Yu snapped out of his thoughts and, with a mere thought, the Ghost Emperor’s hidden followers on the distant mountain became visible.
They involuntarily levitated, instantly flying to the Mechanical City and hovering in front of Su Yu.
These people looked horrified.
Earlier, seeing the Mechanical City approaching from afar, they were all taken aback.
They quickly concealed themselves, planning to hide away.
But they were still discovered by Su Yu and easily captured.
These people, all donned in armor and individually powerful, even included a few seven-star warriors.
Yet in front of Su Yu, they were as powerless as children.
Although Su Yu had just ascended to Fourth Rank with ten stars, due to various secrets, his power couldn’t be measured by ordinary ten-star standards.
In his presence, an ordinary seven-star warrior, unless in large numbers, was no different from a regular person.
"This Su Yu seems as powerful as the Emperor, perhaps even stronger!? Is it because the Emperor hasn’t fully revived yet? Even the Emperor doesn’t give off such oppression..."
Hovering in the air, unable to move, these followers of the Ghost Emperor couldn’t help but compare Su Yu to the Ghost Emperor.
The result of the comparison was that Su Yu was certainly not inferior, perhaps even stronger!
"You must be the Ghost Emperor’s followers?"
Su Yu asked softly.
"We are subjects under Emperor of Ghosts’ reign. Are you Mr. Su Yu? What... what do you intend to do?"
The leader of the Ghost Emperor’s followers, a seven-star warrior, asked, suppressing his fear.
Hearing them admit their identity, Su Yu nodded and asked, "What are you here to do?"
Upon hearing Su Yu’s question, the person’s eyes flickered, hesitating to speak.
It seemed that although he feared Su Yu’s power, he also didn’t dare disobey the Ghost Emperor’s orders nor reveal any information.
However, Su Yu didn’t need his response. Just as Su Yu posed the question, he already used his data ability to forcibly invade their minds to search their memories.
