The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 585: Chapter 585: Beasts! A Pair!

Ji You ran swiftly, with Chu Jiaojiao in hot pursuit, step by step, the distance between them shrinking...

Ji You increased the thrusters, and the speed of the Mecha surged once more.

Suddenly, Chu Jiaojiao fired at a certain point in the sky, and with a loud bang, an asteroid instantly shattered into countless pieces, which then scattered in all directions. Dozens of those fragments directly struck Ji You’s Mecha.

Clang~

Her trajectory disrupted, along with the impact from the small asteroids, caused Ji You’s Mecha to wobble completely, inevitably slowing her down.

Chu Jiaojiao’s move—

”Beautiful!”

The audience exclaimed unanimously.

Chu Jiaojiao seized the opportunity to max out the thrusters, reducing the distance between them by half!

Just when they were within the shooting range of Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee and the audience thought Rag Queen was done for, suddenly—

Rag Queen fired a shot into midair!

Swoosh—

It was only after hearing the sound slicing through the air did the audience realize a dark asteroid was also hurtling towards them.

Boom—

With a loud explosion, the enormous asteroid burst apart in the blink of an eye, propelling shards in every direction, the largest of which shot straight towards Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee!

Clang~

Hit by the fragments, the entire Mecha of Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee shuddered, its speed immediately decreasing—

The distance between the two fighters was maintained once more.

The audience:

”Beautiful!”

”The same clever move as Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee, brilliant!”

”Is this what they call giving her a taste of her own medicine?”

”Thinking of taking down Rag Queen? Not so fast!”

...

In reality, Ji You was feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment. With Chu Jiaojiao relentlessly on her heels, sticking to her like a persistent annoyance, getting rid of her would be impossible without defeating her.

But! To defeat her wasn’t that easy either, it required the right approach and tactics.

While running, Ji You pondered her strategy.

Next, the audience watched as both Rag Queen and Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee continuously used the asteroids floating in space to create one obstacle and countermeasure after another.

These scenes were both exciting and thrilling! It was as if the battlefield was a performance of speed and passion, and despite the repetitive scenes over the past ten minutes, the audience felt no visual fatigue.

No good!

Can’t keep running like this!

This beast Chu Jiaojiao could keep running for days and nights without breaking a sweat, but Ji You couldn’t.

Her Physical Strength was her biggest weakness; if this continued, she’d surely be dragged to her death by Chu the beast.

Ji You realized that to turn the situation around, she had to stop.

And—

She had to maintain distance from Chu Jiaojiao and prevent her from immediately attacking.

But how?

Then—

Everyone saw Rag Queen’s Mecha extend a claw from its mechanical arm, grabbing a white flag and waving it continuously in the direction of Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee~

What?

Waving the white flag?

Surrendering outright?

The audience: ”...”

Chu Jiaojiao was also somewhat taken aback and asked, ”Are you conceding?”

Ji You didn’t reply, but simply turned the white flag to face the crowd, revealing three large characters: [Fake White Flag]

Chu Jiaojiao: ”...”

The audience: ”...”

The audience took a deep breath but still couldn’t help but curse, ”This is an arena, please be serious! If you want to mess around, go back to your house and do it there!”

”Cough cough...” Ji You cleared her throat and sternly said, ”I’m not intentionally messing around. This is a small flag of friendship that I am showing to my opponent Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee. Who decreed we must be enemies locked in mortal combat? Can’t we be friends? Between friends, shouldn’t we spread friendship?”

The audience: ”...”

The audience cursed, ”What nonsense are you talking about? This is embarrassing, isn’t it?” questioning the setting and the talk of friendship and friends, they were simply aghast—

Chu Jiaojiao scratched her head and honestly said, ”Well... I also feel a bit embarrassed.”

”Cough...”

Ji You forced a dry laugh and said, ”Awkward, that’s right.”

Suddenly—

Her eyes turned cold, and in that instant, before the onlookers could see what was launched from the blade tip, the spot where Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee was still a moment ago, erupted with a violent explosion!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Chu Jiaojiao hopped on one foot while running and shouting, ”Holy shit! So ferocious! Lucky I ran fast!”

But—

The explosion didn’t die down quickly. It stirred up the surrounding magnetic field, gathering countless meteorites, rock fragments, space debris... all rolling up into a massive vortex—

Being too close to this vortex, Chu Jiaojiao had no idea that such a thing would happen. To think, the projectile Rag Queen fired at the beginning didn’t look that terrifying—

What?

How did it result in such a formidable force?

Caught off-guard, Chu Jiaojiao, along with her mecha, was swept into the vortex!

The audience was dumbstruck.

This!

This!

This!

Watching Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee being dragged into the vortex, both person and mecha bathed in firelight...

Silence.

The crowd fell into a weird hush.

”Damn it!”

”Beast!”

”What did Rag Queen do?”

”Holy shit! Is she a devil?”

...

In fact, Ji You was also surprised by the scene she caused, but to keep up the boss’s demeanor, she appeared utterly indifferent on her face.

”She just secretly compressed a hundred High Energy Particle Cannons into one!”

”That Particle Cannon is terrifying; the explosion activated the previously stable magnetic fields and air pressure around it, causing the vortex!”

”Just a simple siphoning principle.”

”Holy crap! A genius!”

”Is Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee going to be torn to pieces by the energy blast wave?”

”Doesn’t that mean Rag Queen is just sitting there reaping the victory?”

While all the viewers thought so, Ji You, keeping her distance from the vortex, dared not jump to conclusions—for what she faced was not just anyone, but Chu Jiaojiao, that beast.

Sure enough—

It was just a moment, and as the energy stabilized, Chu Jiaojiao, who had been swept into the vortex, leaped out driving her mecha—

Ji You narrowed her eyes, aimed the cannon barrel at Chu Jiaojiao in the vortex, and issued the firing command again.

Swoosh—

Chu Jiaojiao screamed: ”Holy shit!”

Boom—

The airflows, air pressure, magnetic field... were stirred up again, forming an even bigger vortex—

The audience: ”...”

The silence said it all—

When did Rag Queen prepare the second Compressed Cannon?

You should know, these things can’t be mass-produced; one needs a certain level of spiritual power to accomplish this.

Others can’t even handle one; she managed two.

Others use Ordinary Particle Cannons; she uses High Energy Particle Cannons.

This—

This is beyond just calling her a beast.

At that moment, Rag Queen, with her unparalleled boss stature, suddenly turned pale and staggered a bit, and at that exact moment, as everyone thought Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee was going to fall, she suddenly surged forth with great force, breaking out of the vortex.

Everyone: ”!!!!”

Beast!!!

A pair!!!!
