The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1613: Chapter 1613: Dialogue

Ji You said to try, then she circled around He Bi but found no way to start, so Ji You immediately spread her hands and said, ”Senior, we’re doomed! I can’t untangle it.”

He Bi: ”...”

He Bi started to have difficulty breathing because Old Yellow Bull’s tail was wrapping tighter and closer, nearly squeezing his chest and abdomen, making it almost impossible to move.

He Bi pursed his lips, rotated his right hand to grasp the knife handle steadily, then suddenly exerted force and swung the knife to chop at the tip of Old Yellow Bull’s tail!

Crack~

The blade accurately struck at the joint of the tailbone, immediately emitting a crisp bone-cracking sound.

In the next second, Old Yellow Bull’s tail not only didn’t loosen but tightened even more!

Didn’t succeed!

He Bi’s face turned dark.

Beside him, Ji You, although jokingly teasing Senior He Bi, was actually quite nervous inside. Although she and He Bi had already guessed they might be actively attacked by Old Yellow Bull and were prepared for a tough battle, they hadn’t anticipated Old Yellow Bull using such a tactic.

In an instant, He Bi was restrained.

What to do?

Ji You frowned and continued circling Old Yellow Bull’s tail. He Bi didn’t make any more moves either, maintaining his position to avoid provoking a more violent attack from Old Yellow Bull.

At this moment, Ji You suddenly felt a bit sleepy. She instinctively raised her hand, covered her mouth, and yawned.

Then.

Ji You was startled, quickly looked at Senior He Bi, discovering he seemed like he was also feeling a bit sleepy.

Ji You raised her hand, pinched her cheek hard to stop the feeling of sleepiness.

She was really shocked inside. Already knowing in advance that Old Yellow Bull’s spiritual power dispersed could affect nearby people, Ji You and He Bi had prepared for possible hypnosis before setting out, but unexpectedly, they were hit so quickly.

He Bi also turned to look at Ji You.

After a moment of silence, He Bi said, ”I can’t sense its spiritual fluctuations nor guess its thoughts, but its spiritual wave is indeed affecting us, including the people on the spaceship. You give it a try.”

The reason the two dared to approach Old Yellow Bull was to find its weak spot at close range for targeted attacks.

Without finding it yet, being hypnotized is absolutely unacceptable.

Ji You clenched her teeth, biting her lip until a bit of blood came, making herself feel slightly more alert. Then, she released her spiritual power and carefully sensed around.

It was quiet all around, without a single movement.

Spiritual fluctuations are intangible and without substance, unable to be detected by auxiliary equipment like instruments; one can only feel them with one’s spiritual power.

Old Yellow Bull’s tail wrapped around He Bi but didn’t loosen, though it hadn’t tightened further either. This showed Old Yellow Bull was still cautious and wasn’t intending to fight desperately with Ji You and He Bi right now.

Looking at He Bi tightly wrapped by the tailbone, his complexion slightly improved, but things obviously weren’t optimistic yet. Ji You told herself not to rush and then unfolded her spiritual power again.

In the Spiritual World.

The Six Spiritual Threads lay tightly on the Spiritual Core, all curled up without any intention of emerging, but at the master’s command, Six Strands eventually swam out.

Fourth: [Master, now is not the time to act rashly. We should just hang in there. As long as we hold out till the end, no one can do anything to us.]

Ji You pointed to Senior He Bi’s situation and said, ”With this, do we still hang on?”

Fourth took a look, its whole body paused, then flicked its tail with some helplessness: [Master, Senior He Bi looks pathetic but won’t die immediately. Sisi’s rough estimation suggests he can survive at least for 3 days and nights before dying — cause of death: starvation.]

Ji You: ”...”

Upon hearing this, Ji You couldn’t help but turn around to recheck Senior He Bi, discovering his complexion had turned paler, and his mouth was crooked, looking as if he was about to kick the bucket.

This is the state of surviving 3 days and nights?

If someone else didn’t know, they’d think he’d already kicked the bucket.

Honestly, if Ji You hadn’t heard Fourth’s words, she would have been anxious, thinking Senior He Bi really was about to die!

Fourth, that fellow, lacks nothing but observational skill, dare claims second place; no one dares claim first.

So—

This state surely isn’t the genuine condition of Senior He Bi!

So—

Acting?

Ji You couldn’t help but immensely admire Senior He Bi. His acting skills could set the stage, even for an Oscar-winning actor.

Really, she wouldn’t watch Oscar movies without Senior He Bi starring.

However, Fourth’s words slightly eased Ji You’s anxiety.

Following that.

Ji You continued to extend her spiritual network, with Boss and Fourth being the main forces this time. Boss was responsible for wide-ranging search, while Fourth focused on filling gaps...

Two Spiritual Threads collaborated quickly, and soon, they pinpointed Old Yellow Bull’s spiritual fluctuation location—

This location wasn’t in the head as everyone assumed, but rather in the waist and abdomen area. As Ji You approached to take a look, she couldn’t help but exclaim, ”Oh my! How could a head with a pair of horns have no hint of spiritual fluctuations? Turns out this is a double-headed creature, there’s another head here.”

The head with the sturdy horns lacked spiritual fluctuations, showing that Old Yellow Bull wasn’t using this head to think.

The other head was only half the size of the horned one, without horns or long ears. If Ji You hadn’t seen the eyes and mouth, she almost wouldn’t have realized it was a head.

At the moment of discovering the second head, when Ji You looked over, its eyes suddenly opened, those large black bull eyes meeting Ji You’s gaze, surprisingly seemed a bit innocent and pure.

[So sleepy.]

Ji You suddenly heard a voice, extremely faint, seeming to come from the depth of the soul, making Ji You almost think she was hallucinating.

But!

[So sleepy.]

Another phrase came.

This time, the voice was even frailer, seemingly breaking with a breeze, utterly fragile...

Ji You instantly stood upright, not daring to be careless, listening carefully yet found the voice vanished again.

This time, Ji You didn’t overlook it but let Boss and Fourth probe around with spiritual power...

Searching inch by inch, ruling all out, Ji You focused on this smaller head, then heard a clearer sound than before:

[So sleepy.]

Ji You furrowed her brows, disregarding anything else, and cursed first: ”You sleepyhead, sleepy as a fart, if you’re sleepy, come out and fight! A fight would snap you awake!”

[No.]
