The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1041: Chapter 1041: Delicate as a Willow, Fu Feng

Ji You’s face visibly turned dark, and Liu Fufeng stared at her with serious eyes and expression, saying, ”Really, I’m not lying to you, it really opens your head many, many, many times...”

He used three ’many’ to describe the difficulty.

Just listening to this made Ji You’s hair stand on end. She took a deep breath and said, ”Isn’t it just opening your head? I’m not afraid! The path to being strong is bound to be full of challenges.”

This ability is even more overpowered than being overpowered. To gain such an invisible enemy-hypnotizing power, what’s a little bit of suffering? Ji You had full confidence in this! Then, she heard Liu Fufeng continue, ”Even if you open it many times, it’s not guaranteed to succeed.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You cupped her hands and said, ”Sorry to disturb you, goodbye.”

Ji You drew the gun from her waist and continued to stealthily move forward. In the dim underground, Liu Fufeng watched her back and felt the clear and gentle aura from Ji You. He couldn’t help but step forward and said, ”Ji You, wait for me...”

The panting from behind was too obvious, and Ji You couldn’t help but say, ”Are you really that weak? You get out of breath from just a few steps?”

Liu Fufeng held the wall with one hand, panting continuously, he said, ”I just overexerted my spiritual power and it will take a long time to recover.”

Ji You: ”How long?”

Liu Fufeng estimated and said, ”About 10 hours before I can recover my spiritual power.”

Ji You’s eyes focused ahead, her pace uninterrupted, and after hearing Liu Fufeng, Ji You said with slight exasperation, ”You mean you used your spiritual power to perform that Ultimate Hypnosis, overextended yourself, and need 10 hours to recover?”

Liu Fufeng admitted honestly, ”Yes.”

Ji You asked, ”During the recovery period, there’s no way to perform the Ultimate Hypnosis again?”

Liu Fufeng nodded, ”Yes.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You was speechless, ”Your skill needs cooldown time?”

Liu Fufeng tilted his head slightly puzzled, ”Cooldown time is?”

”A gaming term, go play some games on the Star Network later, you’ll understand,” Ji You replied perfunctorily, then lamented, ”Such a powerful big move, with such a long cooldown? Consuming so much spiritual power at a time, this——is so limiting!”

Liu Fufeng’s breathing didn’t lie. Ever since he used his spiritual power, his steps, which were already unstable, became even more unsteady.

Liu Fufeng massaged his temple and said, ”It’s not that it’s too limiting, I think it’s especially useful for escaping.”

It’s just too troublesome; just opening the head is enough to scare someone, so Ji You temporarily put the idea of learning it aside. By now, the duo had groped their way 100 meters underground, surrounded by complete darkness. Wearing their night vision goggles, they could see the underground was filled with numerous passages and pipelines, networks... various man-made constructions intertwined and complicated...

They pressed against the wall, hastily advancing.

Since delving underground, Ji You and Liu Fufeng both checked their Light Computers and found that the signal had indeed been blocked, unable to connect to the network, and could only operate offline. Knowing that Chu Jiaojiao might have suddenly lost contact due to her Light Computer’s signal being cut off slightly eased Ji You’s concerns. Just as she was about to move forward, she suddenly heard Liu Fufeng say, ”Stop.”

”Hmm?” Ji You stopped and gave Liu Fufeng a puzzled glance.

Liu Fufeng said, ”I feel something’s not right.”

Ji You: ”Specifically?”

Liu Fufeng shook his head, ”It disappeared again.”

Ji You frowned, carefully sensed around again, and felt nothing special. Then, she released all of her Spiritual Threads, but the Six Spiritual Threads were reluctant to venture out, yet, driven by their Master’s persistence, they still crawled out from the Spiritual World.

Then.

They circled around, but the First, Second, Third, Fifth, and Sixth felt nothing. Only the Fourth anxiously spun in circles, [Master, let’s go back, it’s neither fun here nor is there anything good to eat...]

Even the hesitant Fourth indicated serious danger.

But!

Unable to contact Chu Jiaojiao made Ji You extremely anxious as she harshly pulled at her hair.

Liu Fufeng stood quietly behind her, and all of Ji You’s frustration fell into Liu Fufeng’s sight. He originally intended not to speak, planning to be a quiet companion, but after some thought, he spoke up, ”Ji You, don’t doubt yourself, and don’t obsess too much. Do what you want, and I——will give you a reading from behind.”

”...” Ji You: ”What did you say?”

Liu Fufeng seriously took out a seemingly ancient turtle shell from his Space Button, saying, ”But my fortune-telling ability is newly learned, a bit unstable, I can only simply tell fortune and misfortune.”

Ji You: ”...”

Liu Fufeng lowered his head slightly, ”Can’t guarantee accuracy.”

Ji You rolled her eyes, saying, ”I just did a reading, and it says you’ll get hit.”

”By me!” Ji You swung a punch over, thinking Liu Fufeng would dodge, but Liu Fufeng stood still, Ji You’s fist took a detour and slammed into the wall.

Liu Fufeng said, ”After your punch, I calculated it, and my reading says it’s auspicious.”

Ji You left him and walked away.

Liu Fufeng hurriedly followed.

Just a few steps out, they suddenly heard a rustling sound from just behind a wall. Ji You stopped in her tracks, raised her gun, and quickly moved to the gap in the door. The rustling continued, and just by listening, she could tell it was the sound of a Black Thorn Bee flapping its wings. The moment Ji You arrived at the crack of the door, she immediately started shooting.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Inside the crack, the Black Thorn Bee was hit with three consecutive shots, striking vital points each time. It immediately convulsed violently, and Ji You seized the moment to leap in, jumping to the back of the Black Thorn Bee, raised her machete, and struck down forcefully.

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

The Black Thorn Bee fell on the spot.

Crash~

The whole wall collapsed.

”Retreat!”

Ji You leaped out, and seeing Liu Fufeng still standing there like a fool, reached out, grabbed him up, and sprinted away!

Just then, Ji You felt a terrifying presence rapidly sweeping in, its formless, intangible intimidation was overwhelmingly overwhelming, making one shiver from hair to toes...

This——

What is this?

Ji You had a bad premonition, and then heard Liu Fufeng coming back to his senses, saying, ”I have to run now, it’s too strong, can’t match it at all...”

After saying that.

Liu Fufeng immediately dashed away, leaving no trace behind.

Ji You: ”...”

This——

This is weak Liu Fufeng?

This is the weakling who gets out of breath from just a few steps?

Ji You was so angry she almost wanted to curse!

This is protection?

This is the protection Liu Fufeng was talking about?

Damn it?
