The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1612: Chapter 1612: Negotiation

”Negotiation is a means to avoid war, but—” Ji You looked at everyone, curled her lips into a smile, and said, ”A great man once said—with struggle for peace, peace exists; with compromise for peace, peace perishes.”

After a brief pause, Ji You rubbed her hands and shouted, ”If it doesn’t want to talk, of course, you gotta beat it up!”

Everyone: ”...”

She has no idea how much she’s capable of, saying such boastful words without feeling embarrassed. Even He Bi couldn’t listen anymore, rolling his eyes and glaring at her, saying, ”Do you think you’re going to squish a little kitten? What you’re trying to beat up is a Level 12 Star Beast!”

”Level 12!” These two words, He Bi emphasized with gritted teeth.

Ji You chuckled, not the least bit embarrassed, and said, ”Yes, Level 12, but don’t be afraid because it’s a Level 12 that’s so injured it’s about to kick the bucket hahaha...”

Everyone: ”...”

Ji You’s devilish laughter almost pierced everyone’s eardrums.

Then—

Everyone realized she might actually be onto something!

Yue Qiguang was the first to leap up! He slapped his thigh hard and said, ”Let’s do it! To get into this damn place, Dad has just rolled with a pile of Star Beasts, Level 10, Level 11, Level 12, fought them all! Is Dad afraid of a mere crippled Level 12?”

”Let’s do it!” The second one to jump up was Sheng Qingyan, who had been clamoring to go to sleep. He pouted and said, ”Finish it off, then get some good sleep.”

”Poor dead, oh. If you don’t go, I’ll go.” The lazy Sheng Qingyan became anxious, huddling beside He Bi, saying, ”Senior He Bi, oh. When are we going, oh? I’m going with you, oh.”

”Why are you arguing now?” Chu Jiaojiao said indignantly, ”Senior chose me!”

”You?” Yue Qiyuan rolled his eyes, ”Amnesia isn’t something to use now. Didn’t senior just reject you, and now you forget? I’m the most suitable one!”

”Rock-paper-scissors then!” Ji You rolled up her sleeves and said, ”Whoever loses has to go.”

The always quiet Liu Fufeng suddenly spoke, ”Ji You, you can’t choose a method favorable to you just because your luck is bad.”

He Bi looked at this bunch of troublemakers, who had skewed the topic beyond imagination, raised his hand, and interrupted the babbling little brothers and sisters, saying, ”Everyone stop, Ji You goes with me.”

Ji You jumped three feet high: ”See, it’s me in the end anyway.”

He Bi’s eyelid twitched, he took a deep breath, and then said, ”We’re just going to investigate its injury status, not to actually take it down.”

Ji You giggled, ”That’s what I mean, know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles without defeat.”

He Bi waved: ”Let’s go!”

Ji You waved to the group behind her: ”Friends, let me chat with Old Yellow Bull for a bit, then I’ll be right back.”

No one responded to her.

Ji You fastened the regulation button on her combat suit, waved her hand, and jumped off the spaceship.

He Bi landed first, not waiting for Ji You, dashed like an arrow towards Old Yellow Bull, Ji You followed closely, feeling the wall of the passage with her feet when she stepped onto it, she couldn’t help but stamp on it hard, experiencing its texture. It felt like stepping on cotton, soft, and even a bit bouncy.

Ji You squatted uselessly, seized the opportunity to give it a feel.

She pulled.

She tried to pull again.

Then, she found she couldn’t grip it.

This thing seemed easy to grab but was as smooth as a marble slab, too slick to hold.

Ji You could only stop regretfully, and quickly chased after Senior He Bi.

While Ji You bent down to grab the wall, He Bi had already, with a few maneuvers, reached Old Yellow Bull’s head.

He Bi moved lightly, not daring to truly disturb the opponent, carefully probing.

One step, two steps, three steps...

He Bi found the bull’s eyes, looked carefully, and discovered one eyeball blind, bleeding.

Both eyes were closed.

At that moment, Old Yellow Bull suddenly opened its one good eye and stared at He Bi.

He Bi’s spirit trembled, then he focused his mind, drew his Horse-cutting Saber, but didn’t strike right away, instead clutched its handle, ready for a retaliatory action at any moment.

Then.

Old Yellow Bull suddenly became agitated, its tail whipped violently, extending toward He Bi’s direction, and He Bi dodged instantly!

Dodging less than 3 meters, He Bi didn’t have time to strike, the next second, Old Yellow Bull’s upright tail suddenly coiled and wrapped He Bi up entirely!

This scene surprised everyone.

There was no panic on He Bi’s face, instead, he used the opportunity to scrutinize this tail.

This was Old Yellow Bull’s pride, its most boastful weapon of attack. Its tail was originally covered in hair, each strand distinct, rough, and extremely sharp. A single strand, if it broke the skin, could allow the poison within it to enter the human body through the wound.

Unfortunately, it was a tail devoid of hair, its lethal power reduced by over 90!

The tail attempted to tighten its grip on He Bi; He Bi, wearing a combat suit, didn’t struggle fiercely, to avoid getting trapped entirely.

At this moment, he clearly saw the exposed segments of bones in the tail mixed with blood and flesh, looking extremely terrifying.

Moreover, with the tail’s movements, Old Yellow Bull’s faint spiritual fluctuation resurfaced!

Just a hint flashed, but was caught by the ever-vigilant He Bi.

No mistake.

His previous feeling was correct; Old Yellow Bull’s spiritual power is tremendously vast, showing no signs of depletion!

That’s why he was resolved to fight a life-and-death battle with the opponent.

But, being close, He Bi’s feeling became clearer, Old Yellow Bull’s vast spiritual power, actually showing signs of slight depletion!

[Is it really almost done for?]

He Bi was ecstatic, yet he didn’t lose his sanity in excitement, instead, he lowered his head, looking at his body bound tighter and tighter by the tail, almost unable to move.

A bit troublesome.

To break free, he must attack.

He Bi hesitated, seeing Ji You already arrived.

Help had arrived, He Bi was quite happy, but the next second, his smile fell.

Ji You didn’t cover herself up, but brazenly walked over, only stopping in front of the bloodied Old Yellow Bull.

Humans’ bodies were too small, in front of Old Yellow Bull, Ji You looked like a tiny bean, then, Ji You stepped again, leaping to the opposite side of Senior He Bi.

Looking at nearly tied up Senior He Bi, Ji You said, ”Senior, you look a bit ragged.”

He Bi: ”...”

He Bi said, ”With that spare time, why aren’t you thinking of a way to unbind me together?”

Ji You said, ”I’ll give it a try.”
