Half an hour had passed by the time Ji Yueyao and Mu Yanxuan had finished searching for the supernatural meteorites. Ji Yueyao was quite inexperienced since it was her first time searching for supernatural meteorites, but she still found eight, while Mu Yanxuan found twenty-one.
Watching Mu Yanxuan put all the meteorites she found into the backpack behind her, Ji Yueyao secretly comforted herself. It was already very good to find so many meteorites in such a rare place. Eight meteorites would be enough for her for a while.
However... Ji Yueyao carefully put the meteorites into her backpack, leaving only one in her hand. She didn't plan to use all eight meteorites to exchange for points. For the long term, she might need to let her team members try to absorb superpowers. After all, if they had superpowers, they would be safer on their next mission.
"Aren't you going to put this one in too?" Mu Yanxuan asked, seeing Ji Yueyao holding a piece in her hand.
Ji Yueyao looked at the peculiar patterns on the meteorite in her hand and shook her head. "I want to try to absorb the meteorite and become a superhuman."
As he spoke, Ji Yueyao held the supernatural meteorite, closed his eyes, and felt the power of the meteorite.
A comfortable feeling gradually spread through her palm, and Ji Yueyao easily felt the power of the meteorite. But then, a tearing pain shot through her chest, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. Almost instinctively, she opened her eyes.
Did she fail again? Ji Yueyao's face was very pale. She clutched her chest, where the pain had not subsided. Although she had failed before, failing again made her somewhat discouraged.
"Did it fail?" Mu Yanxuan looked at Ji Yueyao's pale face and touched her cheek from behind with some concern. It shouldn't be like this. He had just seen the supernatural meteorite resonate with her. How could it have failed?
He withdrew his fingers from Ji Yueyao's, feeling a burning sensation in his fingertips.
“Yeah.” Ji Yueyao was a little disappointed. “It’s always like this. Although I can feel the power of the meteorite, it’s immediately repelled.”
"Rejection?" Mu Yan frowned, his handsome features showing confusion. "That's impossible. Ordinary people who aren't superpowered individuals wouldn't feel rejection from a superpowered meteorite. Only superpowered individuals with two superpowers can feel rejection."
Ji Yueyao sighed. Wei Kang had said the same thing back then, "But do I look like a superhuman to you?"
"Could it be that the superpower hasn't been unleashed yet?" Mu Yanxuan was still puzzled.
“I have never absorbed any supernatural meteorites.” Ji Yueyao sighed, feeling that she was truly destined to be without supernatural abilities. She reached out and opened her backpack to put the supernatural meteorite in her hand inside, but because it was too dark around her, she stepped into a depression and almost fell.
Her heart skipped a beat, and in her fright, she unconsciously gripped the meteorite tightly in her hand.
Ji Yueyao didn't fall flat on her face because Mu Yanxuan caught her quickly. "It's dark here, be careful."
"Thank you." Ji Yueyao was very grateful. Mu Yanxuan had helped her more than once or twice, and she felt that she should be the one indebted to him now.
Although she still doesn't know what favor Mu Yanxuan owes her.
Ji Yueyao reached out and unzipped her backpack, preparing to put her superpower inside. But when she raised her hand, she realized that the superpower meteorite in her hand had disappeared!
Did she throw it away when she fell? Ji Yueyao was annoyed. How could she be so careless? That was a supernatural meteorite, not a block of tofu.
Squatting down to carefully observe her surroundings, Ji Yueyao was quite disappointed to find nothing.
"Is there something you can't find?" Mu Yanxuan saw Ji Yueyao looking dejectedly as she searched around with a flashlight, and prepared to squat down to help her look.
"I can't find the supernatural meteorite I was holding earlier." Ji Yueyao's voice sounded muffled. Mu Yanxuan didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only search with her, but they found nothing.
"Looks like it fell into some dead end." Mu Yanxuan stood up, took out a meteorite from his backpack and handed it to Ji Yueyao, "I'll give you one of mine."
Ji Yueyao shook her head and gave up the search. She didn't take the meteorite Mu Yanxuan offered, and her voice sounded indifferent, "No need, losing it is my own responsibility, I'll bear it myself."
Mu Yanxuan slightly curled his lips, but did not insist on giving it to her. He put the supernatural meteorite back into his backpack, and Mu Yanxuan looked at Ji Yueyao with increasing pleasure.
With a hint of regret, Ji Yueyao glanced back, then decisively picked up her backpack and left. For some reason, she had a bad feeling about it.
The way back was more difficult than the way down. When they came down, Mu Yanxuan corroded the ground and they fell down, but going up... Ji Yueyao felt like she was walking a marathon.
Not to mention that they almost got dizzy from going around in circles, the fact that they had to pass through the ant colonies because they couldn't take any shortcuts was troublesome enough.
Watching the giant ants continuously swarming out of the small chambers on both sides, Ji Yueyao felt immense pressure. If it weren't for the incredibly powerful military leader next to her, she probably wouldn't even have a trace left.
Seeing the ants swarming out, Ji Yueyao decisively hid behind Mu Yanxuan. Hey, who dares to say she's timid and useless? She's a wise person who knows when to yield!
Mu Yanxuan didn't mind and let her hide. As long as he was there to clear the way and protect her, that was enough.
"ah--"
A shrill scream came from ahead, and Ji Yueyao's heart skipped a beat, her gaze involuntarily fixed on what lay ahead.
