The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 718: Chapter 718: Disdain

The battle ended quickly, after dealing with those 5 Star Beasts, Ji You immediately instructed Zhong Qing, ”Go to the residence.”

Zhong Qing didn’t dare to delay and immediately led the team members to run towards the residence, but she was a bit worried about Ji You and the others.

Turning her head, Zhong Qing saw Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Xuzhou, and Zhang Ye gathering up the corpse of the long-eared rabbit.

Zhong Qing: ”...”

Zhong Qing was a bit confused, but she didn’t dare to be distracted, keeping alert while leading her teammates in a quick run.

On this side.

Ji You, quick as lightning, packed up a Level 2 long-eared rabbit and then hurriedly said, ”Jiaojiao, pack up the remaining 3! My Space Button space is running out.”

After speaking, Ji You glared at Xuzhou and Zhang Ye and impatiently said, ”You two poor dead, don’t even have a Space Button!”

Xuzhou, Zhang Ye: ”...”

Cough cough... randomly subjected to contempt.

Ji You kept her eyes on the surroundings and didn’t forget to babble, ”Little Zhouzhou, after going back, buy less beef jerky; save up some money to buy a Space Button, got it?”

Xuzhou: ”...”

Regarding the beef jerky and other snacks Xuzhou brought for the final exams, they all cost over 200,000 credit points, not to mention the constant snacking expenses Ji You saw this kid incurring at school...

In short, Little Zhouzhou wasn’t someone who lacked money.

Ji You couldn’t help but complain, ”How old are you, still eating snacks every day.”

Xuzhou: ”...”

Xuzhou’s rugged, honest face quietly turned red.

Zhang Ye covered his mouth corner and laughed, ”He not only loves snacks, but he also likes candy! In fact, most of his pocket money goes to buying various kinds of candies.”

Zhang Ye, this guy, blatantly revealing all of his friend’s secrets without any regard for their past brotherhood.

Ji You curled her lip, ”No wonder that day I saw you in Doctor Luo’s medical room getting a tooth filled. The cavities should thank you for feeding their entire family.”

Xuzhou: ”...”

Xuzhou: ”Cough cough...”

He just didn’t have a Space Button to store these long-eared rabbits’ corpses, why... why keep bringing it up?

Xuzhou really couldn’t understand.

Zhang Ye covered his mouth, running while reveling in schadenfreude.

Then—

Suddenly, Ji You turned towards him and scolded, ”At least Little Zhouzhou spends money on food. And you? Donating to male streamers, you have the cheek for that?”

Zhang Ye: ”...”

Zhang Ye coughed vigorously, his body shaking...

After a while, Zhang Ye, red-faced, explained, ”I wasn’t donating to male streamers! I was donating to Admiral Bai Ji! The streamer analyzes all sorts of fighting techniques and styles of Admiral Bai Ji!”

”I was donating to Admiral Bai Ji!”

Ji You waved her hand, ”No need to explain! Anyway, you are now just a poor dead without a Space Button!”

Zhang Ye: ”...”

At this moment, Chu Jiaojiao finished storing away a Level 1 long-eared rabbit and immediately said, ”Classmate Ji You, my Space Button is almost full too.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You, who was slicing at an approaching Level 1 long-eared rabbit, heard this and frowned, ”I knew it, I should have brought Little Cutie along.”

No other reason, it’s just that Little Cutie’s Space Button has a large space!

Feeling discarded.

Chu Jiaojiao giggled and said, ”But I know how to protect Classmate Ji You better than Sheng Qingyan!”

Those words, cheesy but still very heartwarming to hear.

Just as Ji You was feeling a bit touched, Chu Jiaojiao changed the subject, ”Anyway, with me here, I will absolutely protect Classmate Ji You’s face!”

Ji You: ”...”

Chu Jiaojiao chuckled, ”I swear.”

Ji You: ”Goodbye! I never want to be in the same group with you again.”

Chu Jiaojiao: ”Hehehe...”

The entire camp was thrown into chaos with the appearance of a group of long-eared rabbits, turning everything topsy-turvy within moments...

The atmosphere was tense, and the situation looked grim. At least half of the students who couldn’t react in time got injured.

This was even after Ji You had Zhang Ye and Xuzhou notify many students in advance; otherwise, at least 80% would have been injured.

Ji You’s group of four covered for Zhong Qing and others, providing rear guard as they fought and retreated. After 3 minutes, they finally made it back to their temporary residence.

Seeing Ji You and the others unharmed, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, Yue Qiguang, Sheng Qingyan, and others didn’t say much, but the tension on their faces eased.

Ji You said, ”Tighten the defenses around the residence.”

Everyone nodded.

As the students began to retaliate, the group of long-eared rabbits no longer posed a fatal threat.

But!!!

They still needed to be wary of other Star Beasts appearing.

Ji You then discussed with Shen Changqing and Yue Qiyuan, saying, ”We’ve already killed half. The most dangerous ones left are one Level 3 and five Level 2 long-eared rabbits.”

”The closest to us is a Level 2,” Ji You gripped the handle of his sword, ”We just need to guard against this Level 2 one.”

Shen Changqing said, ”Yu Yi and Yu Song’s teams have already killed that Level 3 long-eared rabbit.”

His spiritual power Level was high, allowing for a broader and more sensitive perception range.

Yue Qiyuan frowned and said, ”There are still 4 Level 2s left, and 2 have made their way here.”

Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan, Yue Qiguang, Lou, Lance... seemed to be scattered guarding different sides of the residence, but were actually skillfully forming an encircling tactic. Any issue on one side could quickly receive support from the others.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

In the dark night, the long-eared rabbits moved like spectral shadows, jumping, biting...

The students, with their knives and swords, axes and hammers, or even bare fists, struggled fiercely against the long-eared rabbits...

The sounds of rain, wind, thunder, weapons clashing, and blades slicing flesh...

When everything finally stopped and the long-eared rabbit group was completely wiped out, seeming like no other dangers were present, the students, exhausted like pigs, slumped down in a random corner.

For many students, this was their first encounter with a Star Beast, their first time fighting one. There were those who were superficially hurt, injured, holding their faces with reddened eyes...

On Ji You’s side, the group of ten, aside from being a bit tired, had no other issues. Sheng Qingyan, that guy, hadn’t even dirtied his shoes from head to toe; he was responsible for hiding inside the residence, sneak attacking the long-eared rabbits with an Energy Bow and Arrow.

One shot, one kill.

Especially those who were on their last breath or severely injured, Sheng Qingyan’s follow-up strikes were like a long-eared rabbit reaper.

The others also performed very bravely.

Now, everyone, including Ji You’s team that was paid to provide protection, were all resting inside the residence.

...

Silence.

Quiet.

No one spoke.

In the pitch darkness, someone from Zhong Qing’s team, enduring the pain, said, ”Ren An’s injuries have worsened, what should we do?”

The surrounding area fell silent once again.

This student anxiously said, ”Where has Teacher Mu gone? Could she really have just left us?”

”How could that be!”

”How is that possible!”

But—

It had been so long, and indeed, there were students with serious injuries.
