The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1667: Chapter 1667: Juvenile

In an unknown starry sky of the Space Rift.

At this moment, He Bi stood on the spaceship’s deck, staring at the spot where K-Q75 disappeared, his dark eyes like deep pools, unfathomable.

He stood quietly, and everyone refrained from disturbing him for a while.

As if returned from distant thoughts, He Bi diverted his gaze, looking at Ji You and others, and said, ”You must want to know why we don’t enter the plane from where the giant claw monster disappeared.”

Ji You frowned and said, ”Because the passage there is broken, and there’s no longer a connecting path?”

”Yeah.” He Bi nodded, adding, ”We can’t see the channel crevices that connect to the plane where the giant clawed beast resides, but the giant claw monster can see them, enabling them to freely enter and exit the Space Rift.”

”That’s not right.”

”This explanation isn’t rigorous.” He Bi immediately refuted his own words, furrowing his brow and said, ”These lobsters... ahem... indeed, lobsters sound better, they should also have restrictions when moving in and out of the Space Rift, needing specific conditions.”

”But for those conditions, we don’t know for now?” Ji You picked up the conversation, then grinned at He Bi and said, ”Senior, I also think lobsters sound better.”

A bunch of foodies.

”Cough...” He Bi maintained a stern face, saying, ”We truly don’t know what triggers these lobsters to come out, but the sudden snatching away of K-Q75 gave me some ideas.”

”What ideas?” Yue Qiguang, who always lacked patience, couldn’t wait any longer and asked, ”Senior, exactly what idea is it?”

”Is there something on K-Q75 that’s highly attractive to the lobsters?” Shen Changqing chimed in, asking, ”What exactly is it?”

K-Q75 was flown over by Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao, and He Bi and others hadn’t boarded it before the lobsters took it away, so only Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao could answer what was inside K-Q75.

So—

Shen Changqing and others all turned to Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao.

Ji You briefly shared the findings on K-Q75.

After speaking.

The scene immediately fell into silence.

He Bi’s face suddenly changed color in an instant, ”You said you encountered an invisible monster, which Chu Jiaojiao couldn’t see, only Ji You could see it through spiritual power?”

Chu Jiaojiao and Ji You nodded simultaneously.

He Bi’s face changed again and again.

Ji You scratched her head and asked, ”Senior, what happened? Is it serious?”

Facing Ji You’s bewildered expression, with a hint of mischievousness amidst the confusion, He Bi suddenly didn’t know what to say.

And Chu Jiaojiao also looked utterly confused.

The two seemed like silly geese at the moment...

He Bi took a deep breath and said, ”Your guess is correct, it should be an alien creature.” He used ”should” rather than certainty.

However, He Bi knew this was not a question, but a declarative sentence. He chose not to say so to these juniors to avoid unnecessary panic.

Creatures from that plane...

Humans cannot defeat.

Thinking of this, He Bi suddenly halted, ”Wait... what did you just say?”

Ji You tilted her head: ”???”

He Bi asked, ”When you met that alien, what did you do?”

Ji You said, ”Fought it.”

He Bi asked, ”And then?”

”Then?” Ji You blinked: ”Kept fighting it!”

He Bi: ”...”

He Bi lowered his eyes, speaking coldly, ”Stop fooling around, just tell me how you ate it?”

”Cough cough...” Ji You laughed dryly, adding, ”Senior, your phrasing isn’t precise, it’s not me who ate it; my Spiritual Silk ate it.”

”Your Spiritual Silk is yours, either way, you ate it.” He Bi was uninterested in the minutiae and asked, ”How did your Spiritual Silk eat it?”

Ji You extended her hand, mimicking a noodle-sucking gesture and said, ”Just like this—sucked it in one swoop.”

He Bi: ”...”

Not only He Bi was stumped, everyone present felt a bit violent.

The main reason was Ji You’s explanation was too abstract, no one could visualize how Spiritual Silk could slurp noodles.

However, that’s not the point; the point is that Ji You’s Spiritual Silk is so fierce? Directly consuming an alien?

Ate thoroughly, not a bit left?

Facing the curious looks of the group, Ji You nodded and said, ”Really, not a morsel was left. I initially wanted to keep a small piece for research, but alas...”

If a part of this creature’s body had been left, then—

This thought crossed the minds of everyone, making them surprisingly excited!

Then—

Except for He Bi, led by Yue Qiguang, the 131-level students unanimously said, ”Next time we encounter such an alien monster, let’s catch it alive together!”

He Bi’s mouth twitched and said, ”Are you afraid you won’t die fast enough?”

Yue Qiguang slapped his thigh and said, ”Dad thinks this idea is excellent and highly feasible.”

”What’s feasible?” He Bi splashed cold water on everyone, saying, ”Can your spiritual power see it?”

Yue Qiguang: ”...”

He Bi turned to Yue Qiyuan, Shen Changqing, and others, ”Or do you think your spiritual power intensity is greater than mine?”

Yue Qiyuan and Shen Changqing’s faces turned red.

He Bi said, ”When encountering such alien monsters, my first strategy is to run away, quickly run, using both hands and feet.”

Embarrassment swept the scene.

He Bi said, ”Those creatures are not something we can face. The reason Ji You succeeded this time isn’t because she’s strong, it’s because the opponent is too weak.”

Ji You didn’t like this saying: ”Senior, why is it not because I’m strong?”

He Bi ignored her, turning to others curious about him and said, ”According to Ji You’s narrative, I judge that creature was just a larva.”

”Hm?”

”What?”

”Huh?”

This statement puzzled everyone.

Facing heads full of question marks, He Bi’s breathing quickened, tone heavy, saying, ”I can’t explain the specifics of this thing, but it’s truly just an alien larva, even freshly out of an incubation chamber.”

Ji You and others: ”???”

He Bi said, ”To put it metaphorically, it was merely a hatchling, freshly hatched larva, entirely ignorant, unaware of any capabilities—Do you understand now?”

Ji You gaped: ”Ah? So Jiaojiao and I teamed up, exerted a huge effort, only to kill a larva?”
