Ji Ning and Mogg were in no hurry to immediately rush inside the behemoth hive. Instead, they flew across its surface and began to inspect it.
Ning and Mogg were able to cross hundreds of billions of kilometers almost instantly, and they continued to fly for a full hour as they reviewed the hive up close. The hive's surface was a mixture of dark black mixed with silvery white. Black was the main color, but some strands of silvery-white energy had crystallized in certain regions. As for the tunnels, they ranged from being a hundred kilometers wide to a trillion kilometers wide.
Ning and Mogg came to a halt and descended upon the surface once more.
"We can't see anything from outside," Ning said. "It seems we'll still have to go inside to take a look."
"My senses are telling me that the interior isn't uniform in nature. We can't simply blink in and out of it," Mogg said. "Our only choice is to accept the risk of flying inside."
