Appearing before the two was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreigner. Qian Er didn't recall any foreigners among the professors exploring the outside world.
“He's not from the Imperial Academy. I have a slight impression of this kid. I think I saw him at an exchange meeting.”
Professor Huo was indeed an old fossil. He frowned, glanced at the man a couple of times, and then said hesitantly, his face somewhat gloomy at the same time.
Just like the internal discord among most intelligent races, humans are also internally divided. Even a Yan country has countless factions, let alone different countries.
The Imperial Academy is located in the heartland of Yan, so people from other countries wouldn't be appearing here. What's the situation with this guy being here, and he's even a quasi-King?
A combatant of this level appearing in the heartland of another country is already a precursor to war.
The blonde man became excited when he saw Qian Er and Professor Huo, and he started speaking in a language Qian Er couldn't understand.
Putting on his earphones and turning on real-time translation, things improved a lot.
“Damn it, Yan people! You guys screwed me over!”
“Why didn't you say that the existence suspected of surpassing True King was the Zerg Sovereign!”
“It's there, it's always been there!”
The translator automatically shielded the cursing content, which resulted in his words being intermittent, but luckily Qian Er understood what he was saying.
“Explain clearly, what do you mean it's there?”
Qian Er's expression changed, and he quickly asked.
“You take me away, and I'll tell you.”
The blonde man didn't show any weakness. Originally, he had prepared himself for death, thinking of using his life to buy his companions a chance to escape.
But he didn't expect things to take a turn for the better. Now he didn't want to die anymore.
“Alright, explain clearly, otherwise the three of us will easily be stuck here.”
Qian Er was about to say, 'Don't you know who I am? How dare you negotiate with me?'
But just as the words reached his lips, Professor Huo stepped on his foot, stomping the words back down. Professor Huo patted the back of Qian Er's hand, stepped forward, and said with a smile.
“I recognize you, Senior Huo from Yan. I am Wilson from France. What 'it's always been there' means is that it's always been there. It's right there, but human consciousness has overlooked it. In your Yan language, it's called cognitive bias!”
Wilson's words immediately darkened Professor Huo's expression, and Qian Er also understood why he and others subconsciously overlooked Senior Xiaoyue.
Cognitive bias!
“Where is it now?”
Professor Huo asked in a deep voice.
Wilson shook his head.
“I don't know, I'm also trapped in cognitive bias, no… wait…”
Suddenly, Wilson's voice stopped abruptly. His pupils dilated, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
Qian Er's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately grabbed Professor Huo's hand, wanting to retreat, but when he reached out, he didn't grab anything. Turning his head to look, the old geezer had already used the vines growing out of his spine to jump into a tree, waving at him.
Qian Er cursed inwardly, immediately grabbed Wilson's arm, brought him up, and jumped onto Frosty Cold Lord's back.
This guy was still useful and couldn't die yet, at least not here.
Flying into the sky, Qian Er looked down, but he didn't see anything.
No, it wasn't that he didn't see anything.
Qian Er's expression flickered for a moment. Dimly, he saw an insect leg as thick as several people embracing it standing there, like a giant tree. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see it at all.
“…Did you all see it?”
Qian Er widened his eyes. He was very sure that he hadn't seen anything at all before coming here.
Cognitive bias, what a cognitive bias!
“I saw it.”
The voice of the Bloodforged Saint, who had always been calm, was also somewhat shocked at this time. It was also startled by this change.
Moving his line of sight upwards, Qian Er finally saw the full picture of that thing.
Its overall appearance was similar to that of the Hundred-Eyed Spidipede, with every joint on its body covered in eyes. The front half of its body was like a spider, and the back half had turned into a centipede. Its size was extraordinarily large, almost towering into the clouds. Putting it in the adjacent set to play a monster beaten by Ultraman wouldn't feel out of place at all.
But what was different was the thick malice emanating from its body. This malice even condensed into substance, turning into black mist that kept dissipating.
The black mist that shrouded the entire Imperial Academy and caused great trouble to the Imperial Academy was actually just the hatred it exuded.
Sensing Qian Er's line of sight, all the eyes on the Zerg Sovereign looked over in unison. The malice condensed into substance inside caused illusionary pain on Qian Er's body.
An icy aura enveloped Qian Er's whole body, but it was immediately dispelled by the merit power on Qian Er's body.
“You… can see me!!!”
It let out a piercing cry and swung its thick insect leg towards Qian Er.
Frosty Cold Lord dodged sideways. The merit and incense on its body were even more than Qian Er's, and those malicious intentions couldn't affect it at all.
“What does it mean by saying I can see it?”
Sitting on Frosty Cold Lord's back, watching the Bloodforged Saint carrying the Human Sovereign Flag and constantly firing Yin energy bullets at the Zerg Sovereign like a Thunder Fighter, but unable to damage even the Zerg Sovereign's exoskeleton, Qian Er pondered in his heart.
“Cognitive bias, cognitive bias… wait… cognitive bias…”
Chewing on the words 'cognitive bias', Qian Er suddenly froze for a moment. He thought of a possibility.
Was it possible that if he couldn't see the Zerg Sovereign, then it wouldn't be able to see him?
But right now, this guess definitely couldn't be confirmed, because he simply didn't know how he was able to see the Zerg Sovereign inexplicably.
After dodging another attack from the Zerg Sovereign, Qian Er found that its speed seemed to be fast, and its state wasn't quite right. In short, it seemed to be much worse than Senior Xiaoyue, who had gone all out at the beginning.
“The weakness of the Hundred-Eyed Spidipede is the center of the spider body, the position connected to the centipede body. Frosty Cold Lord, can you fly in that direction?”
These were all the contents displayed in the encyclopedia. Qian Er approached Frosty Cold Lord's ear and asked with the Beast Taming Contract.
He was preparing to give this guy a hard one.
“I can try.”
Frosty Cold Lord glanced at the huge Hundred-Eyed Spidipede and immediately nodded.
If it were Qian Er himself, it would definitely not agree to such a risky move.
But the current Qian Er was a flesh and blood clone, it only needed to take care of itself.
As soon as the voice fell, Frosty Cold Lord accelerated again, drawing a white mark in the air.
Faster, even faster!
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the Zerg Sovereign's body, Qian Er didn't hesitate at all and threw out a leaf at the first moment.
In an instant, everything was silent, time stopped at this moment, and a brilliant silver-white branch stretched out from the void.
