The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1697: Chapter 1697: Repeat the Old Trick?

Sheng Qingyan and Yue Qiguang listened, and Sheng Qingyan, who was initially somewhat hesitant, turned around without a word and left.

Yue Qiguang also didn’t hesitate at all and immediately turned around.

The two quickly returned to the boarding gate of the X-N3848.

Then, the boarding gate opened.

The two jumped into the spaceship.

Then —

came a series of security checks.

Space exploration is a very risky endeavor, so every step needs to be strictly in accordance with safety protocols. Therefore, Sheng Qingyan and Yue Qiguang also entered the security cabin, which would take a few minutes before they could meet up with Ji You and others.

Ji You and He Bi arrived on the deck of the spaceship, and Chu Jiaojiao and others also came out of the cockpit, and everyone gathered back together.

Chu Jiaojiao said: ”Ji You, did Senior He Bi’s strength really increase because of eating that alien creature?”

Ji You nodded.

Chu Jiaojiao was immediately very envious, saying: ”Why do I never encounter such good things?”

He Bi rolled his eyes without words and said: ”Isn’t it better to upgrade steadily and flawlessly? Why go courting disaster?”

Yue Qiyuan whispered: ”Just courting disaster and one upgrades; such disaster, I want to encounter it once too.”

He Bi saw these juniors acting so eager for quick success and was speechless, saying: ”Alright, next time we encounter something requiring you to court disaster, we’ll let you all go first.”

Ji You glared at Chu Jiaojiao and Yue Qiyuan and said to He Bi: ”Jerk, don’t listen to them; they are just joking.”

In fact, when facing real danger that requires fighting, they compete harder than anyone else.

But!

When facing unbeatable danger that requires cunning survival, they are more cunning than anyone else.

He Bi also knew they were joking, and he squinted, looking at the grid-like spaces, saying: ”Have you ever thought about how we got here?”

Chu Jiaojiao was surprised: ”Wasn’t it the swarm of little lobsters that pulled us in?”

Yue Qiyuan frowned and said: ”We were swept in by the whirlpool. As for whether it was little lobsters, there’s no way to tell now.”

At the time, the Soul Device of Green Glaze Master was thrown down, and a whirlpool appeared, where monsters were hidden beneath, but it never showed itself, so everyone certainly can’t confirm if it was little lobsters.

And —

where are those little lobsters?

Chu Jiaojiao touched her chin and said: ”Don’t you think it’s strange? Clearly, we encountered so many little lobsters before, and those lobsters were indeed creatures from another Plane, but after we came in, why have they disappeared?”

”Could it be —” Chu Jiaojiao had a bad suspicion: ”Did we actually enter a different Plane, not the little lobsters’?”

He Bi immediately shook his head and said: ”It shouldn’t be possible; this must be the Plane where the little lobsters are.”

”Then where did the lobsters go?” Yue Qiguang, just out of the inspection cabin, heard He Bi say this.

Sheng Qingyan lagged behind, hands behind his back casually following. Until he reached Ji You, Sheng Qingyan lifted his eyelids and said: ”Poor dead, Ah Guang and I have already collected and tested all the substances inside the grid spaces; the environment is harmless to human bodies.”

Ji You’s eyes brightened upon hearing it.

Sheng Qingyan yawned, saying: ”I’m hungry and sleepy; don’t disturb me.”

After saying that.

Sheng Qingyan pinched his nose, took a sip of nutrient solution, and lay down on the deck, closing his eyes.

Ji You twitched the corner of his mouth.

Yue Qiguang saw his previous question unanswered, so he asked again: ”Since we entered the little lobsters’ space, where are the lobsters?”

”Where did they go?”

”Can’t be all eaten by someone, right?” Yue Qiguang said bluntly, realizing after that everyone was staring at him, particularly Ji You and He Bi, with expressions that made him uneasy. Yue Qiguang raised his hand and pulled his hair hard, saying: ”Don’t look at dad like that; what dad’s saying is a question I can’t figure out.”

”He said eaten.” He Bi murmured to himself.

”Maybe they were really eaten?” Ji You paced, hands behind his back, walking on the deck: ”If they were indeed eaten, then who would eat the little lobsters?”

”Don’t you feel this place looks more and more like a farm?” Chu Jiaojiao pointed to the rows of grid spaces outside and said: ”Arranged so systematically, surely large numbers of something are being farmed... What could it be? Could it be the little lobsters?”

Ji You suddenly knocked on the table and said: ”I’ve decided, we must find a way to locate some little lobsters again.”

”Where to look?” Yue Qiguang stared, saying: ”In this vicinity, for dozens and hundreds of miles... Vast emptiness, all the grid spaces around us are void and idle; where should we look? The problem is we can’t get out either.”

Right now, the biggest issue isn’t finding lobsters but how to exit this current grid space.

This grid space, thoroughly investigated by Sheng Qingyan and Yue Qiguang, is completely enclosed, with no linkage to the outside.

Wait.

Indeed, it could connect with outside grid spaces, because when they came in, they passed through grid spaces to get here.

Just, they don’t know how to open the grid spaces yet, which has trapped them in this dead corner.

Silent until now, Liu Fufeng suddenly said: ”Have you forgotten the Soul Device of Green Glaze Master? We were able to enter here because the Soul Device baited the whirlpool and pulled us in.”

Hmm?

Everyone widened their eyes: ”!!!”

Yue Qiguang slapped his thigh and said: ”That’s right; such an important fact, how could dad forget it?”

Chu Jiaojiao also said: ”Yes, I almost forgot it too.”

The others didn’t speak, but their expressions conveyed the same idea.

Liu Fufeng looked at everyone, her beautiful eyes blinking, saying: ”Why can’t we repeat the same trick?”

Sheng Qingyan suddenly jumped up, eyes glaring, puffing up angrily: ”Well, that’s easier said than done; the Soul Device of Green Glaze Master isn’t like cabbage that can exist whenever you want...” He didn’t know how much effort he spent to snatch a Soul Device made by Green Glaze Master.

He even had to demean himself to curry favor with the poor dead of 4444...

In the end, when the black bear group was encountered, all were destroyed.

Sheng Qingyan’s heart ached so much he couldn’t express the word ’pain’ properly.

Liu Fufeng blinked and suddenly turned to Ji You.

Ji You squinted at the grid spaces outside, considering Liu Fufeng’s proposal as a viable solution.

Therefore —
