Chapter 1043: Bee Queen
"Buzz——"
The sound approached.
In the next moment, a figure flashed in the darkness, rushing directly toward Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao. At that instant, their pupils shrank violently, and Chu Jiaojiao pulled Ji You, spun around the stone wall, and jumped directly behind another door.
However, before they could even steady their feet, the next second, the scalp-tingling buzzing sound resounded beside their ears. Ji You urgently threw out a protective shield net, wrapping herself and Chu Jiaojiao, while Chu Jiaojiao carried Ji You and continued running madly.
The entire underground tunnel was winding and intricate. Despite Chu Jiaojiao’s extreme speed, having reached her fastest pace to date, the little bug behind them still followed closely without missing a beat. It flapped its wings, flying at high speed, while Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao tried hard to see what it looked like, but its speed was faster than lightning, making it impossible to discern.
With the speed of this bug, it could catch up to Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao entirely, yet it just maintained a steady pace behind them, seemingly unhurried... Ji You gritted her teeth and said, "Jiaojiao, this thing is doing it on purpose. It’s teasing us like we’re on a walk."
Chu Jiaojiao: "Walking a dog?"
Ji You: "..."
Ji You was so angry she almost flipped Chu Jiaojiao over, but thought better of it and held back, just venting, "We’re in a life-or-death situation, can you be serious? Even though we seem sneaky, we’re not dogs. We’ll die before yielding."
Chu Jiaojiao carried Ji You, running around and around, yet they remained trapped in a confined space, like a real ghost wall, unable to escape the area. Panting heavily, Chu Jiaojiao ran another step and took a big gulp of air, saying, "Classmate Ji... Ji You, natural predators often lurk in the dark to assess their prey’s strength before striking. Or, appearing to toy with its prey while actually evaluating its strength and exhausting its physical strength, waiting to pounce the moment it’s weakened and kill it."
Ji You’s face grew a bit dark.
Chu Jiaojiao gasped for air: "Do you... do you think our current situation is somewhat similar?"
