The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 819: Chapter 819: Peril on All Sides

With everything arranged, Ji You waved his hand: ”Everyone going into battle, follow me!”

Saying that, Ji You strode towards the ship’s exit.

Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, and Shen Changqing all followed.

Xuzhou, Zhang Ye, Lou, and Lance watched the backs of Ji You’s group of five, all pursing their lips with solemn expressions. Zhang Ye bit his lip and said, ”Don’t stand there idly, our task is even heavier.”

Lou said, ”That’s right, we are the backup for everyone.”

Lance clenched his fist firmly, ”I will definitely secure this path!”

Xuzhou had already quietly turned towards the cockpit.

As the four responsible for guarding the spaceship got into position, Sheng Qingyan, crouched by the cannon, never moved the entire time, his eyes half-closed, aiming at his prey.

——The level 4 Carrion Vulture that was stabbed in the neck with a single strike from Teacher Mu’s Energy Sword.

It kept flapping its wings, charging wildly, screeching sharply.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Sheng Qingyan’s slender fingers twitched slightly, then he softly pressed the fire button.

Swish——

The Particle Cannon fired, making only a slight sound, but the flock of scavenging vultures constantly flapping their wings instinctively sensed danger and then howled together toward the spaceship.

The spaceship whizzed away, quickly leaving the spot.

Boom!

Sheng Qingyan’s shot directly hit the heavily injured level 4 Carrion Vulture, causing it to violently tremble all over.

Smack!

Smack!

Smack!

A while later, it completely stopped moving.

Sheng Qingyan squinted his eyes, his delicate and handsome face showing no excitement over the sniper victory, only indifferent, casual indifference. He casually glanced at the vulture’s corpse, then laid back on the cannon platform, staring intently at the monitor.

...

Ji You, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, and Chu Jiaojiao arrived at the exit ramp, not recklessly charging into space, but standing quietly aside, watching Teacher Mu, the focal point of the battlefield.

Mu Jianling’s battle with the level 8 Peak Carrion Vulture had reached its end; exchanges of blows between powerful beings were often not overly fancy. At least, Mu Jianling’s every move was clear to these weaker ones like Ji You.

Mu Jianling punched!

A slash!

A kick!

...

Simple actions, constantly switching back and forth, the distance between her and the enemy fluctuating. All this agitated the level 8 Peak Carrion Vulture greatly, its spirit heavily wounded, unable to match Mu Jianling. Her frequent minor maneuvers suddenly incited its ferocity; it suddenly stopped avoiding and charged straight at Mu Jianling.

Its speed is swift, even faster than the human-invented Particle Cannon, like lightning, reaching in an instant, huge bird beak plunging towards the abdomen of the silver-white mech.

Mu Jianling held her face taut, unhurried...

Evaded successfully.

The level 8 Carrion Vulture’s beak, realizing its missed strike, quickly adjusted its direction and closely pursued Mu Jianling.

The next second.

Mu Jianling appeared behind a level 5 Carrion Vulture.

The level 8 Carrion Vulture didn’t have time to see clearly, its beak fiercely stabbed down.

It realized, hurriedly retracting its mouth.

However, it was too late.

It was seen, the level 5 Carrion Vulture’s stomach got a huge gash, its mouth opening: ”Caw—”

It had only time for a ’caw’; this seemingly formidable giant bird shuddered violently and then completely went still~

Ji You and the five others: ”...”

Ji You opened his mouth, marveling: ”A brilliant move, learning from killing by proxy!”

Chu Jiaojiao’s black eyes gleamed: ”So strong!”

Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan kept their lips tight, didn’t speak, trying hard to stay composed, but their narrowed pupils revealed their inner turmoil.

Level 5 Star Beast.

A level 5 Star Beast, terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people, suffering an apocalyptic disaster once encountered! Even if Ji You, Shen Changqing, Chu Jiaojiao, and the others joined forces, they might not be able to handle a level 5, yet it was easily slaughtered by Teacher Mu’s move of killing by proxy.

This scene, the tumult it caused in the students’ hearts, was palpable.

But—

Everyone knew well, achieving this wasn’t merely as simple as it looked. Time, place, timing, judgment... every detail meticulously handled to ensure nothing went wrong to succeed.

Mu Jianling, with a stunning proxy kill, promptly fled.

As the leader, the Corona Corpse Vulture had killed its own kin, its fury understandable, furiously flapping its wings, mouth open, roaring continuously: ”Caw Caw Caw...”

Suddenly—

Chasing Mu Jianling relentlessly, the Corona made an unexpected move, turning abruptly, charging straightforwardly towards the spaceship.

Mu Jianling’s expression chilled: ”Dare to trick me, Mu Jianling?”

The enraged level 8 Corona Corpse Vulture wasn’t a low-level Star Beast; even in a state of extreme anger, it remained somewhat rational, knowing how to think. Its pursuit of Mu Jianling seemed unyielding, but actually expelled her, driving her further from the spaceship.

And, its true target was—the vulnerable younglings aboard the spaceship.

Mu Jianling drew her blade, urgently catching up, swiftly intercepting the level 8 Corona. Without hesitation, she employed maximum force, firing a High Energy Particle Cannon at the Corona’s heart.

Just then, the hidden level 8 female bird suddenly appeared.

Mu Jianling snorted coldly: ”Afraid you wouldn’t show!”

Boom——

Massive sparks exploded in the dark starry sky, the black cosmos suddenly lighting up.

”Caw—”

At the same time, the two level 8 Carrion Vulture attacks quickly followed, very close in proximity. Mu Jianling hastened her mech’s thrusters, urgently withdrawing, yet couldn’t avoid being jabbed by the vultures’ beaks.

She dodged vital areas; the mech remained intact.

And, the level 8 Peak Corona, taking the full force of the High Energy Particle Cannon, compounding its prior injuries, could not endure further and, after weak cawing twice, its body trembled suddenly and went completely still.

But!!!

No time for rejoicing, Mu Jianling’s face darkened as the rest of the vulture flock, instead of fleeing, seized the chance, all swarming towards the spaceship.

Mu Jianling immediately shook off the female bird and turned back toward the spaceship.

meter.

meters.

meters.

...

Closer.

Closer.

...

Mu Jianling pressed her lips, watching herself finally close the distance with the spaceship, yet a flock of Carrion Vultures, cawing, had already surged towards the spacecraft.

Surrounding the spaceship was the sound of feathers rushing in an overwhelming wave.
