Chapter 620: Siures their scope of perception would be limited”
The Accountant went on “So it’s likely ere only spotted because we stumbled into one another It felt us e passed close, and focused its perception afterwards to cast it farther Then once it locked onto us, it attacked They must have some way to communicate with one another that we don’t know about it Or maybe when one dies it releases a powerful psionic pulse, which called its friends and they started searching It was a cluster of problems that lead to that situation”
Lan Jue nodded “That makes the most sense, but we’ll need to confirm it If your analysis is correct, than we can still slip in to continue the mission We just need to keep our distance”
The plan was amended, and they continued to penetrate deeper into the Shattered Starfields
A few hours later they cah space They maintained a distance of about fifty kiloh to keep them concealed “It seems our determinations were correct,” the Wine Master said, as the beast vanished into the distance
A speculative look crossed Lan Jue’s face “I don’t think it’s that easy The Accountant is likely right, but we have to remember that there are different sorts of these creatures The scope of their perception will also be different Consider how quickly ere spotted by these Now think about the alien planets If size is power, how close is too close before one of those things see us?”
The Wine Master’s heart fluttered This was a big problem, and if it wasn’t solved it could put them all in jeopardy
“Stupid, can’t you siruff voice drew their attention It cah the man himself wasn’t present

With a flash both Jue Di and Luo Xianni appeared in the bridge Jue Di stared directly at his son “Moron kid, a psychic burst like that is just another sort of energy A thought given fory to mimic an alien consciousness We also have one of their cores, how could they tell the difference?”
Lan Jue setically “But… how do you siirl there is a psychic She should be able tothe sensation a few tiuo
“Guoguo” Lan Jue looked at her
She nodded “I’ll try”
She was already adept at psionic manipulation With the ship as an ahts
Lan Jue gave her instructions “You’ll need to get close enough to feel it Search for peculiarities Xiaosu, we’ll pause our ingress, switch the search to any nearby aliens We’ll proceed once we’ve got our cover”
“Aye!” Su Xiaosu responded She quickly went about enacting his commands
The Starfields were indeed rife with aliens now, it didn’t take long for theet This one was different froonal shape a hundred ly
Zeus-1 crept to within ten kilometers of the monster before they felt its consciousness
Almost immediately the alien inflated, expanded to several ties crept over and around Zeus-1 in atteuo, learn what you can”
Under Xiaosu and Mika’s co a safe distance froet too far The alien couldn’t physically see their ship due to its cloak, but its perception wasn’t fooled Luckily it seeed battle It needed to get close
Zeus-1 used the advantage of its speed and sauo’s eyes were closed and a pale golden light surrounded her head She was channeling her psychic power through the ship to learn what she could from the beast
