Chapter 1050: Speculation
Ji You, Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing... ran faster than anyone else, disappearing from the surface in the blink of an eye. Everything underground remained pitch black because most of the surveillance and lighting systems had been damaged. The originally labyrinthine tunnels were occasionally blocked, so the group’s pace was not very fast. By the time Ji You collected over a dozen corpses, Sheng Qingyan and Shen Changqing hadn’t gained much either.
The group picked up Black Thorn Bee corpses as they continued their exploration.
When they reached the place where Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao, Liu Fufeng encountered the Bee Queen and got lost, their footsteps paused, and then Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan, and others instinctively began to meticulously examine this narrow space.
After they finished viewing it.
The expressions of Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan, and Yue Qiyuan weren’t good. Sheng Qingyan said indignantly, "I’ve checked it out, and there really isn’t anything special."
Ji You frowned, saying, "But Jiaojiao, Student Fufeng, and I were definitely going in circles and couldn’t find the way. I was following the marks I left behind, but still, I couldn’t leave this narrow area."
With a calm face, Shen Changqing pondered for a moment and said, "There are no traces at the scene, it doesn’t look like something was preemptively arranged. The only possibility is that this Bee Queen interfered with you using spiritual power."
Not only humans, but Star Beasts like Black Thorn Bees, and other ordinary creatures in the universe, such as rabbits, pigs, and ducks without the Star Beast X virus, all possess spiritual power. The difference is that the spiritual power fluctuations of these ordinary creatures are very weak. For example, the fluctuations of ordinary plants’ spiritual power can be virtually ignored.
However, humans and Star Beasts have very strong spiritual power fluctuations. Someone as strong as Lord Marshal can easily crush an entire swarm of giant Black Thorn Bees with both body and spirit using just spiritual power.
And what about the Bee Queen?
This Bee Queen with red eyes, gold edges, and black spots, its spiritual power was strong enough to affect the judgment of Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, and Liu Fufeng regarding their surroundings. It directly interfered with them, causing them to have a misguided understanding of the environment around them, making them circle around the same place repeatedly without realizing it.
Undoubtedly, it was very strong.
