The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 816: Chapter 816: Chasing Away Bad Luck

Looking at the scene before them, Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, Yue Qiguang, Sheng Qingyan... all their pupils contracted, Lou with his mouth agape, his tone somewhat urgent: ”Te... Teacher...”

Mu Jianling said coldly: ”Why panic?”

Upon hearing Teacher Mu’s usual flat, icy tone, Lou, Lance, Zhang Ye, Xuzhou, Yue Qiyuan... all the students felt their tension slightly dissipate.

Command deck.

Mu Jianling gazed at the monitor, calmly staring down an 8-level Carrion Vulture amidst the starry sky.

The 8-level Carrion Vulture had some intelligence, its pair of large golden pupils were fixated on a certain point within the spaceship, instinctively sensing...

Danger.

From that point, a massive pressure like creation was directly roaring at the 8-level Carrion Vulture.

Buzz~

Buzz~

Buzz~

...

The 8-level Carrion Vulture suddenly felt a buzzing in its head...

Noisy!

Tumultuous!

Painful!

It didn’t move but tilted its head slightly, using its golden pupils to tightly stare at the thing inside the Little Flying Insect, it was dangerous, possibly deadly, and that thing kept warning itself, telling it to back off quickly—

The 8-level Carrion Vulture tilted its head, seriously contemplating for a moment.

Then—

It suddenly spread its wings, flapping them violently, expressing its anger...

Why retreat?

It wasn’t easily intimidated either.

Furthermore, aside from that dangerous thing inside the Little Flying Insect, everything else was a bunch of soft, weak twerps that could be pecked to death with its beak!

Therefore—

The 8-level Carrion Vulture endured the severe headache, defiantly attacking the thing inside the Little Flying Insect.

Suddenly, a strong spiritual wave from the 8-level Carrion Vulture spread in all directions, centered on it, targeting the annoying, incessant, headache-inducing thing inside the Little Flying Insect.

Boom—

Inside the spaceship.

Mu Jianling raised a finger, squinted, and said: ”Ignorant creature! I gave you face, and you spit on it!”

Then, Mu Jianling unleashed countless Spiritual Silks from her Spiritual World completely.

Boom—

Counterattack!

The spiritual wave from the 8-level Carrion Vulture was just about to attack the Little Flying Insect when it was intercepted by Mu Jianling’s spiritual wave inside the Little Flying Insect.

The 8-level Carrion Vulture’s whole body suddenly shuddered.

Then!

It opened its mouth, letting out a loud shriek: ”Ga ga ga...”

The sound conveyed around it, flashing to the distant starry sky—

Mu Jianling’s expression tightened as she shouted, ”Release your Spiritual Silks, defend with all your might!”

Ji You and the other students sensed trouble, dared not delay, immediately releasing all their Spiritual Silks, spreading a Spiritual Net, preparing to defend with all their strength.

Then, in the next moment, a larger, more ferocious Carrion Vulture, flapping its massive wings, entered everyone’s line of sight.

Students: ”...”

Another one!

A deadly silence.

Trembling in a corner, Zhang Ye’s hand shook, throat churned, mouth opened: ”8... 8-level?”

”No!” Shen Changqing’s eyes were steady, lips pressed together, saying, ”It’s 8-level Peak.”

Zhang Ye: ”...”

Zhang Ye exclaimed: ”What bad luck~”

Others also felt the tension tighten in their heads upon hearing this—

Lou swallowed hard, with a quivering voice said, ”Our luck, why is it so bad?” All this way, there hasn’t been a moment of peace, 8-level Sea Iron Bull, 8-level Viper Worm, now, two 8-level Carrion Vultures, one of them an 8-level Peak!

Beside him, Lance blinked his azure eyes, lips trembling incessantly, saying, ”Maybe... Maybe we forgot to ward off bad luck on this trip?”

Such superstitious words surprisingly gained agreement from others present, and Zhang Ye immediately began clapping: ”One clap for bad luck, two claps for misfortune, three claps for adversity!”

Ji You: ”...”

Why does this line sound so familiar?

Puzzled, Ji You suddenly noticed Zhang Ye also beginning to rub his fingers after Xuzhou, and when he moved, she found Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiyuan... all were staring at him. Xuzhou paused slightly, then whispered, ”Anyway, nothing better to do, might as well massage my fingers.”

Everyone: ”...”

Then.

Chu Jiaojiao said: ”Let me give it a try too.” Speaking, while rubbing her fingers, she chanted, ”One clap for bad luck, two claps for misfortune, three claps for adversity... Carrion Vultures, quickly retreat!”

Ji You, speechless, said, ”Are you sure those birds understand?”

Chu Jiaojiao chuckled, while Yue Qiyuan, Yue Qiguang, Lance, Lou, and even the usually calm and logical Shen Changqing, started silently rubbing their fingers...

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You gritted her teeth: ”I wouldn’t do such childish things even if you paid me.”

Then—

She secretly mumbled in her heart:

[One clap for bad luck!

Two claps for misfortune!

Three claps for adversity!

...

Demons, monsters, scatter! Scatter! Scatter!]

Beside her, a faint voice interjected: ”Are you secretly reciting this in your mind?”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You glared at Yue Qiyuan who spoke, cursing: ”Nonsense!”

Yue Qiyuan laughed: ”Alright then, whether it’s nonsense, you know it yourself, and—” his face turned serious, voice low: ”I think we should brace ourselves!”

With those words, in the starry sky, two strong spiritual waves continuously clashed with Mu Jianling’s spiritual wave!

The whole spaceship was enveloped in Mu Jianling’s spiritual wave, but the spiritual waves from the two 8-level Carrion Vultures were very strong. Mu Jianling intercepted the bulk of it, but some residual waves still slipped through, continuously impacting the entire spaceship.

These spiritual waves were formless, colorless, but omnipresent...

Wherever they went, the students suffered Carrion Vulture’s spiritual wave impact, feeling oppressed, heavy, stifled... Lou, Lance, Yue Qiguang, Xuzhou, and Zhang Ye, students with slightly weaker spiritual power, started showing abnormal redness on their faces, struggling to hold on.

Ji You said: ”Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, the three of us together, spread a Spiritual Net, covering them!”

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan immediately spread out their Spiritual Net:

meter.

meters.

meters.

...

Until all the students were covered within it, only then did Ji You, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan stop, but this action placed immense pressure on them, as they were blocking most of the residual spiritual wave for Lou, Lance, and the others. At this time, cold sweat appeared on the three’s foreheads.

At the center of the battle between spiritual waves, the 8-level Peak Carrion Vulture with a Flower Crown on its head suddenly tilted its head:

What’s going on?

Its pressure is being resisted?

Those soft, weak little twerps are unharmed?
