The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1586: Chapter 1586: Even Immortals Wouldn’t Dare to Play Like This

Where are the mosquitoes?

The original location of the vortex is empty, filled with only garbage and unknown floating objects, completely devoid of any signs of the mosquitoes. Could it be that they are dead?

In the human camp, everyone’s heart rate suddenly accelerated, but they didn’t dare to think in that direction. Just as this thought emerged, in the next moment, two mosquitoes suddenly appeared, flapping their wings and charging toward X-N3848.

All of this happened in just a brief moment, from the appearance of X-N3848, to the vortex’s disappearance, to the mosquitoes reappearing, causing everyone’s previously settled hearts to immediately rise again.

The two level 12 mosquitoes seemed extremely furious, flailing their wings wildly. However, this time, their wings were not as agile, getting stuck after a few flaps. Consequently, they flapped even harder, and the more they flapped, the tighter the unknown object pulling at their wings became...

What’s going on?

The crowd focused intently and discovered that at the spot where the wings of the mosquitoes connected to the middle chest, there were several knots. Shockingly, those knots were not special in any way, but were rather tight knots. The more the mosquitoes flapped their wings, the tighter the knots became!

The mosquitoes tried to use brute force to solve the problem, but it was utterly impossible. There was only one solution — simply cut the entangled silk thread.

”!!!”

”Oh my goodness, just oh my goodness!”

”How in the world did they manage to tie these?”

”Making a knot on the wings of two level 12 Star Beasts right under their noses, oh my goodness! I can only say, oh my goodness...”

Gu Peiyuan and Li Mengran, who was seated at the main pilot’s seat, both had their pupils constrict in this moment, then suddenly widen!

Gu Peiyuan observed this scene with a chilling sensation on his scalp: ”How did they manage it?”

”Is that even possible?” Li Mengran stared wide-eyed, unable to close them for a long time. After a brief contemplation, she remarked, ”They must have taken advantage of getting caught in the vortex while the mosquitoes were careless, sending someone to tie the knot. But... even though there’s theoretically room for such an operation, it’s still unbelievably incredible, because the spiritual power of a level 12 Star Beast is extremely terrifying. The average person can’t even make eye contact with it, let alone approach it. If you try to forcibly approach a level 12 Star Beast, it’s not impossible, but prepare to die from the spiritual power’s rampage. So, the fact that they managed to sneak under the mosquitoes’ nose without being detected, even tying a bow on those arrogant mosquitoes, that’s particularly incredible.”

Gu Peiyuan widened his eyes and mumbled: ”Bow? It’s obviously a tight knot...”

”Anyway, I consider it a bow because bows are cute, and tight knots are not cute at all. So the person who tied that knot definitely doesn’t have a girly heart.” Humming under her breath, Li Mengran couldn’t help but stand up, study the monitor footage closely, and continued, ”They had to have a method to shield the mosquitoes’ spiritual and sensory detection. When X-N3848 got caught in the vortex, I said not to rush, to wait and see. Look, they took advantage of the mosquitoes’ arrogance and carelessness to sneak up on them.”

Indeed, it’s incredible. Gu Peiyuan’s heart pounded fiercely! Even at his current strength, even if it doubled, he wouldn’t dare approach a mosquito half a step, and yet Ji You and the others? It’s like they’re dancing wildly on the mosquito’s rear end, too thrilling, too crazy!

Gu Peiyuan’s heart beat wildly.

At this moment—

While Gu Peiyuan and Li Mengran, along with everyone near the Space Rift, privately discussed. In reality, only a few seconds had passed, the two mosquitoes, wildly flapping their wings, quickly realized the problem. They quickly aimed their proboscis at each other’s wing roots, and everyone just heard a cracking sound. The tight knot hindering the two mosquitoes’ flight was completely removed, and, venting their frustration, the two mosquitoes seized the silk thread and tore it to shreds!

Then.

The two mosquitoes turned toward the instigator—X-N3848.

X-N3848 had just escaped the vortex and was frantically fleeing, the distant crowd watching as the spaceship narrowly escaped the range of mosquito attacks, their hearts rising and falling instantly.

Moreover!

Only at this moment did everyone see that trailing behind the fleeing X-N3848 was a string of objects. These objects looked like two small black dots. Because they were too far away, no one had noticed before, and everyone’s detectors dared not get too close for fear of attracting the attention of mosquitoes and other nearby Star Beasts.

So, when everyone finally got a good look at those two black dots, they all gasped.

They—

They were people!

Two people wearing nothing but Universe Combat Suits, without any other protection!

They were Ji You and He Bi!

The two were each clinging to a thin cable, hanging from the spaceship’s tail wing, as X-N3848 crazily fled through the starry sky. These two people swung through space like on a swing, no! Far more exhilarating than any swing, because the two mosquitoes, free of the tight knots, had quickly chased after them, about to reach the rear of He Bi and Ji You.

”Oh my gosh!”

”Even gods wouldn’t dare play like this.”

”No!”

”Even ghosts wouldn’t dare play like this.”

”They’re wearing only protective clothing, no Mecha, no other protective equipment. If the mosquitoes catch them, the mosquito proboscis only needs to pierce lightly to go straight through!”

”They’re about to become mosquito skewers for barbecue, hot pot...”

”Quick! Quick! Quick, run!”

”Ji You, run if you don’t want to be a side dish for the mosquitoes! What are you waiting for? Run!”

”Wrong, I shouldn’t be urging Ji You. It’s the pilot of X-N3848, what are you doing? Hurry up, run faster.”

...

But there was no need for urging, no need for alerts. Shen Changqing, piloting X-N3848, had only one thought in his mind right now, run, run, run... absolutely, absolutely don’t let these two mosquitoes catch up!

Meanwhile, on X-N3848, Chu Jiaojiao and Yue Qiguang stood on the deck, frantically pulling a net. It was a transparent, invisible net, somewhat like a fishing net, but it wasn’t for fishing, nor for catching mosquitoes. The goal was to use the net to bring the kite-like Ji You and He Bi hanging on the spaceship’s tail wing aboard the deck. Only then could the spaceship’s Protective Shield be activated.

Time was tight, the situation extremely dire. In making this decision, Ji You, He Bi, Chu Jiaojiao... everyone on board the spaceship had staked their lives!

They had to, because if they couldn’t neutralize these two blocking mosquitoes, the idea of entering the Space Rift would be no more than empty talk.

The two ”kites,” in the wake of the mosquitoes’ furious wing flapping behind them, drifted precariously in the wind, appearing so pitiful, weak, and helpless.
