The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1654: Chapter 1654: A Sea of Crimson

The atmosphere was heavy.

Chu Jiaojiao stood for a few seconds and suddenly said, ”Ji You—”

Ji You turned back: ”?”

Chu Jiaojiao said, ”Shall I accompany you?”

Ji You waved his hand and said, ”No need, you stay here and continue to look for clues, about 10 minutes. If I haven’t come back after 10 minutes, then make other plans.”

Chu Jiaojiao pursed her lips, somewhat stubbornly, and said, ”I want to go with you.”

Isn’t it just a terrible answer?

Just accept it.

Only the weak, the cowards, refuse to accept reality.

The strong, even knowing the cruelty of reality, will resolutely step forward to flatten this terrible reality.

Chu Jiaojiao had already made up her mind.

Ji You looked at her, his voice calm but extremely resolute, saying, ”You stay here. Your spiritual power cannot sense the other party, which means it’s ineffective. Following me out won’t help. On the contrary, the unknown presence here keeps the monster on the spaceship from daring to approach easily. It’s relatively safe here, so use your time to find more useful information.”

After finishing, Ji You continued to walk towards the exit.

Chu Jiaojiao stood for a moment and said to Ji You, ”Okay.”

”Ji You!”

”I’ll definitely ensure my own safety.”

”You must promise me... to cherish your life as much as I cherish your face.”

”...” Ji You turned back, glaring at her: ”Can you stop babbling? Are you done talking? If so, I’m really gonna hit you.”

Chu Jiaojiao grinned, showing a smile, and said, ”I’m done talking, you can go.”

Without another word, Ji You lifted his foot and left.

Then.

Upon reaching the door of the monitoring room, Ji You didn’t pause, opened the door, and stepped out.

At the moment of opening the door, Ji You no longer concealed and immediately unleashed his entire spiritual pressure outward to prevent the invisible monster from sneaking into the monitoring room.

He stood for a moment, confirming that the opponent didn’t sneak into the monitoring room, then Ji You turned to the spaceship’s cleaning system, looking ahead, ignoring the possible lurking danger around him as he inspected the cleaning system one by one.

The detection system started, checking again and again.

Ji You found Long-legged Chicken’s genes among the scattered powder in the garbage planet, as well as Long-eared Rabbit’s genes, genes of pigs, cows, and even several plant genes, but no human gene fragments.

This made Ji You’s heavy mood suddenly lighten somewhat.

No news is good news.

Ji You thought of Shen Sheng, that straightforward kid who once blew his cover with a single sentence, although needing a spanking, but the kid was very adorable otherwise.

Moreover, Ji You and Shen Sheng had not settled a decisive victory between them! The last time they fought, Ji You felt that they were evenly matched, relying not on brute strength but winning by employing various fancy tricks.

Next time, Ji You wanted to confront Shen Sheng head-on!

So—

That straightforward kid must still be okay.

Thinking this, Ji You suddenly sensed something, but feigned ignorance, lowering his eyes and appearing deeply sad, upset, and devastated.

She had no defense, seeming so fragile as if a single punch could kill her.

At this moment, there was a faint motion, followed by a surge of killing intent rushing toward Ji You!

Everything happened too quickly, leaving Ji You with no time to react. She drew her knife and swung upwards but then realized there was nothing there, only unseen air.

Ji You was clearly stunned.

Then—

The knife in her hand fell to the ground with a thud as her whole being was enveloped by an intangible, immaterial spiritual power as if layer upon layer of waves. In that instant, Ji You not only felt breathless, but her whole body and even her Spirit Space seemed to be wrapped by some force, and then—

Entanglement!

In that moment, the calm and undisturbed Spirit Space of Ji You was stirred into a tempest; the body of the Six Spiritual Threads, which had been hiding pretending to be dead, expanded together, growing bigger and bigger—

Finally—

The plump Six Spiritual Threads instantly filled the entire Spirit Space, which seemed boundless, not leaving a single gap, and then at that moment, Ji You clearly felt something, grown to resemble the Spiritual Silk, transform into a long line wrapping her Spirit Space like a silkworm cocoon, tight with not a single gap left...

”Damn!”

”What’s going on?”

”What the hell is this?” Although prepared to be ambushed by the monster, the opportunity was even crafted by Ji You herself, yet—

She never imagined it would look like this!

The situation had become like this.

Am I surrounded?

Invisible to the naked eye, but Ji You’s Spirit Space was surrounded, impenetrable, helpless.

And this monster, it looks like Spiritual Silk but not completely, the most notable difference being its length. Boss, Second... even Old Five, Sixth, their forms are all short, plump, and round, yet this one? It’s slender and long... like a silk thread, wrapping Ji You’s Spirit Space—

The silk thread didn’t seem to have any intention of chatting with Ji You. After ensuring the prey was caught, it immediately began strangling—

Boom—

The whole Space Barrier of the Spirit Space shook violently.

Crack~

Crack~

Crack~

Ji You could distinctly hear the sounds of cutting, crushing, and finally exploding; that was the sound of her Space Barrier breaking, and she already felt the pain deep in her soul.

It hurt.

This pain was millions of times worse than slicing flesh and bone.

Ji You gritted her teeth.

Her forehead was covered in fine layers of sweat that fell like hailstorm, her face pale as paper, without a trace of color!

The strangling force grew heavier, the silk thread seemed very cautious, with no relaxation or neglect!

Apparently, it wouldn’t stop until Ji You was thoroughly strangled.

Boom~

Boom~

Boom~

The Spirit Space’s Barrier collapsed as if completely unprotected, while the Six Spiritual Threads remained stationary, maintaining their enlarged form.

Time seemed slow, but in reality, only a few blinks later, Ji You spat out a mouthful of turbid blood, soaking her clothes at the front, scarlet red.

Ji You gritted her teeth, neither moving nor making a sound.

The Six Fat Spiritual Threads in the Spirit World did not budge. Allowing the other party to continuously erode her body and spirit.
