The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1622: Chapter 1622: The Proud Moth

”I’m fine,” Ji You repeated, looking at everyone, and said, ”Leave the rest to you.”

Time was pressing, and Ji You dared not delay. She quickly listed the equipment she needed, and together, everyone cooperated to quickly build a simple material processing room on the spaceship’s deck. Ji You entered the processing room and closed the door.

”Bang,” the door closed gently.

He Bi was about to speak when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a moth’s silhouette flashing outside the Protective Shield. His eyes slightly darkened, and then he calmly said to Chu Jiaojiao and others, ”Until Ji You comes out, everything stays the same.”

”Yes.”

”Yes.”

”Yes.”

...

He Bi was holding a telescope, constantly monitoring the position of the Two-headed Bull. Suddenly, Shen Changqing’s voice came through the communicator: ”Senior, did that moth just appear again?”

He Bi paused slightly and said, ”Yes, 10 seconds ago, it attempted to approach us from the spaceship’s tail but was blocked by the Protective Shield.”

Shen Changqing pursed his lips upon hearing this.

This matched Shen Changqing’s recent perception completely. The moth was clearly not a reckless Star Beast. Its sudden appearance on the spaceship side was evidently to cause trouble.

He Bi said, ”No need to worry too much. The Two-headed Bull can obviously hold off for a while. As long as these two Star Beasts continue to tangle, it greatly benefits us.”

At this moment—

After failing to approach humans, the moth kept darting frantically around the passageway. Its speed was too fast, elusive, making it impossible for the naked eye and the highly precise detectors aboard the X-N3848 to capture its traces. As it flew, it scattered the powder from its wings that fell like a fluttering shower... The powder settled onto the Two-headed Bull’s body because the Bull’s massive body couldn’t evade it. Once the powder touched the skin, it ignited rapidly, and the Bull’s body, already bloody and mangled, was suddenly charred black like coal.

This situation was simply unbearable to watch.

He Bi didn’t bother with the Two-headed Bull. His focus remained on areas where the powder was heavily scattered. With He Bi’s ability, he couldn’t capture the moth’s presence. However, he attempted to track and catch the moth through the changes in the amount of powder falling all around.

Time quietly slipped away.

Inside the simple material processing room, Ji You’s forehead was covered in fine sweat because her initial attempt to decompose and extract hidden matter had failed.

She processed the discarded material and threw it into the recycling bin.

Then, Ji You cut a small piece of Viper Worm’s skin tissue, carefully cleaned it, and proceeded to decompose this piece.

While she worked wholeheartedly, the intense battle between the Two-headed Bull and the moth in front suddenly had a twist. The moth was very cunning, using the Bull’s lack of agility, step by step leading the Two-headed Bull backward. Unintentionally, the distance between the Bull and the X-N3848 had halved.

And then.

The moth suddenly made a dive toward the Two-headed Bull’s tail!

Feeling the immense danger, the Two-headed Bull fiercely swung its tail toward the moth, which quickly dodged the blow!

However—

”Boom—”

A thunderous crash came from the X-N3848!

This was due to the Two-headed Bull’s tail striking directly against the X-N3848, making the spaceship shake intensely. Yue Qiyuan, standing on the deck, accidentally bumped his head, while Liu Fufeng, leaning against the wall, directly fell on the deck.

He Bi, Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, and others were all very serious.

Shen Changqing, controlling the spaceship, asked, ”Senior, do we need to temporarily leave this area?”

”No need,” He Bi shook his head and said softly, ”But ensure the stability of Ji You’s position.”

Not avoiding means the spaceship will take the hit from the Two-headed Bull’s tail, and might continue to take a second hit, a third hit, a fourth...

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing didn’t refute He Bi but strictly executed his orders, trying to stabilize the ship’s stability.

In the next instant, the moth realized its sudden scheme was so smoothly successful, gaining an advantage over both the Two-headed Bull and humans at once. Immediately, it was ready to continue its efforts!

Thus, it continued to jump up and down, drawing the Two-headed Bull along its predetermined path, approaching the spaceship where the humans were.

And then—

”Boom—” The spaceship swung again from another impact by the Two-headed Bull.

Clang~

Clang~

Clang~

Under this massive impact, the spaceship was like a leaf in the ocean wave, unable to resist at all. However, the spaceship did not completely give up, and under Shen Changqing’s effortful control, it tried to stabilize itself and then attempted to escape this place—

The moth saw this and thought, trying to escape?

No way.

It then quickly revealed itself above the spaceship’s wing and fluttered towards the Two-headed Bull. Dense powder pattered down, landed on the spaceship’s Protective Shield, sizzling... The Protective Shield was scorched by the self-ignited high temperature of the powder, producing a sizzling sound.

However, the Protective Shield was one of humanity’s strongest defense mechanisms, forged by countless scientists, and it certainly wouldn’t be breached in one go.

Yet, the thickness of the Protective Shield was still significantly reduced. Coupled with the occasional strikes from the Two-headed Bull, the Protective Shield appeared even more precarious.

Having succeeded in several tricks in succession, the moth promptly grew even more complacent, even losing its initial cautiousness, instead flaunting its figure openly, provoking the Two-headed Bull to turn around and pursue!

The moth fluttered its wings: ”Squeak squeak squeak...”

The Two-headed Bull: ”Moo—”

Watching as the whole body of the Two-headed Bull was about to sweep across, Yue Qiguang urgently shouted, ”Will 4444 manage or not? With such continuous strikes, the Protective Shield won’t hold up!”

Chu Jiaojiao glared at him: ”What are you panicking about? Ji You said she’s fine, so she’s definitely fine. I believe in her.”

Yue Qiguang was choked, muttering: ”Papa doesn’t doubt her, Papa hopes she hurries!”

But evidently, the moth and the Two-headed Bull wouldn’t wait for the humans to be ready before attacking. The Two-headed Bull was already completely infuriated by the moth, determined to catch it and tear it apart!

So, without thinking, the Two-headed Bull lunged towards the moth!

Just then, the door of the material processing room suddenly opened, and Ji You walked out, catching sight of this apocalyptic scene immediately: ”Damn! You’re actually not avoiding?”

Yue Qiguang glanced at her: ”Waiting for you.”

”Waiting for me for what?” At that moment, the Two-headed Bull opened its mouth wide, charging towards the spaceship, Ji You’s little heart skipped a beat, saying, ”Waiting for me to appreciate the structure of a bull’s mouth? I don’t have that hobby!”
