Chapter 330: Mental Power Release: Those are the people who were tracking her before!
Su Nian took a short rest and drove the mecha towards the ancient forest on the mountainside to look for the core of the Purple Flame Divine Tree.
This ancient forest was filled with thick fog, towering trees blocked out the sun, and lush branches and leaves intertwined to form an impenetrable green barrier. The mecha was forced to stop at the edge of the forest because the trees were too dense and tall, and it was impossible to find a suitable landing point even in the air, let alone drive directly in.
"This tree is too dense. The mecha can't get in at all. It seems that we can only enter on foot."
Su Nian had no choice but to find a relatively hidden place to park the mecha.
In order to prevent the mecha from being driven away by others, she spent a full five minutes carefully setting up a complex password.
"Such a complicated password, I wonder who can crack it." Su Nian said confidently.
After doing all this, Su Nian stepped into the forest carefully. The light in the forest was dim and gloomy, and she took every step very carefully, holding the weapon tightly in her hand and concentrating her mind.
In order to better perceive the surrounding situation, Su Nian took a deep breath, concentrated her mind, and slowly released her mental power. Her mental power spread out in all directions like invisible tentacles, expanding the detection range to about five kilometers.
She first sensed a student moving alone about three kilometers to the southeast, moving cautiously. Then, she turned her attention to the southwest and carefully explored, but found nothing unusual.
When she extended her spiritual power to the northwest, she noticed that more than a dozen people were quietly approaching her direction. They moved in an orderly and steady manner, and were obviously searching.
Several of them concealed their powerful mental powers, like beasts hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike; while a few others openly released their mental powers, exploring without restraint.
At this time, the dozen people were still gradually approaching. They were wearing the same black combat uniforms as the examinees, with stern expressions and a hint of subtle ferocity in their eyes. Their steps were light and steady, and they were holding various advanced weapons in their hands, obviously coming prepared.
Just as Su Nian's spiritual perception spread to where they were, one of the people who was sending out spiritual power to explore seemed to have noticed something. He suddenly stopped and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes. Then, he signaled to his companions, and the dozen people instantly sped up and rushed towards Su Nian's direction.
Su Nian secretly thought that something was wrong and immediately recognized that they were the people who had been following her before!
She acted decisively, quickly retracted her outward spiritual power, and tightly wrapped it around her body. At this moment, Su Nian was shocked to find that those people were less than 1 kilometer away from her. Before, her spiritual power's autonomous perception range was only 100 meters, so she had never expected that they had quietly approached this far.
The situation was critical. Su Nian didn't care about anything else. He mobilized his mental power with all his strength and weaved it into an airtight ball, wrapping himself tightly in it, as if he had created an indestructible mental protective suit for himself.
This is her unique ability; other people's spiritual threads do not have such magical functions.
Su Nian did not dare to hesitate, and turned to run in the opposite direction of those people, just in time to get into the dense woods. Branches and thorns scratched her cheeks and arms, but she was completely unaware. The fallen leaves and dry grass under her feet made a "rustling" sound, as if urging her to speed up. Her heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
She tried to calm her breathing and calm herself down in the protective shield of her spiritual power. But the footsteps that were getting closer and closer were beating her nerves like drums, so she didn't dare to let down her guard.
