The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1703: Chapter 1703: Mud-slinging the Ox

”Damn it!” After a moment of shock, Yue Qiguang couldn’t help but curse, ”How the hell is Dad supposed to run? This thing is already crushed, and Dad thought it would definitely break through, yet it can still recover! It can still recover! It can still recover!”

Yue Qiguang used three ’actually’ to express his inner frustration as if he was blown about by the wind.

Yue Qiyuan stood beside him, wearing a combat suit, armed with weapons, fully equipped. At this moment, he looked at the scene before them and uncharacteristically echoed his dim-witted brother: ”This thing can actually regenerate! Can regenerate! Can regenerate...”

Yue Qiyuan’s mouth was agape, continuously repeating the words like a broken record, showing no sign of stopping.

Shen Changqing pressed his lips together, remaining silent.

Sheng Qingyan, uncharacteristically, kept a stern face, saying nothing.

He Bi stood with his hands behind his back on the spaceship’s deck, along with Shen Changqing and others, also silent. At this time, the spaceship had already been set to automatic mode, and He Bi had directed all the energy to the Protective Shield, requiring no further operation.

Chu Jiaojiao asked, ”What do we do?”

Inside Ji You’s heart, it felt like a dog was gnawing at it, terribly distorted, but she kept a calm face. After a moment’s silence, she integrated the language, letting her voice reach all her teammates’ ears: ”What do we do?”

Her voice wasn’t loud, just a casual tone throwing out a question mark, and the next second, she immediately said, ”Until the very last breath, we will never compromise.”

”Even if I die—” Ji You’s voice was somewhat gritting her teeth, saying: ”—I definitely won’t die in this grid cell!”

”Exactly!” Yue Qiguang clenched his fist hard, shouting loudly, ”Even if Dad dies, definitely not in this hellhole.”

The others didn’t make a sound, but the expressions on their faces clearly aligned with Ji You and Yue Qiguang’s sentiments.

The next second.

Ji You said, ”Shen Changqing, Spicy Eye... the four of you continue to go outside. Don’t mind that lump of flesh overhead, focus on testing your spiritual power release state.”

Yue Qiguang was the first to agree, loudly saying, ”Dad has been wanting to see outside long ago. You wait; Dad will punch through this grid cell with just one punch!”

As for this nonsense afterward, everyone pretended they didn’t hear it.

Even such a massive monster like the Two-headed Bull, crashing directly onto the grid cell above, only flattened it slightly; in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, it restored to its original state.

Could Yue Qiguang’s punch be as heavy as the body of the Two-headed Bull?

Clearly not possible.

Ji You asked calmly, ”Are you ready?”

Shen Changqing, representing the other three, replied, ”Ready.”

Ji You immediately said, ”1, 2, 3—Go!”

The next second.

Shen Changqing and the others immediately jumped off the spaceship.

Liu Fufeng huddled at the testing station, somewhat confused, saying: ”Ji You classmate, I think it’s best not to let them go outside now when the situation is unclear?”

A heavenly object just fell down.

That—

Isn’t it very possible that another heavenly object could fall?

Indeed, it’s highly possible.

”We don’t have time,” Ji You said softly, pausing slightly, then continued, ”We’ve wasted too much time in the grid cell; we can’t wait any longer. We must let everyone enter the grid cell once, testing each person’s adaptability to it.”

If time allowed, Ji You even thought that everyone would need to test multiple times.

Upon hearing, Liu Fufeng no longer spoke.

Following.

Ji You said: ”Senior He Bi, be ready to respond to them and return to the spaceship anytime.”

He Bi squinted and said, ”Already prepared.”

Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan, and two others entered the grid cell, and following Ji You’s three-person method, started cruising around the grid cell.

After repeating it a few times, the four of them stopped.

At this moment—

Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Liu Fufeng, the isolation period ended, all were safe and allowed to enter the inside of the spaceship.

After Ji You boarded the spaceship’s deck, she visually examined the blackened lump overhead through the transparent Protective Shield.

X-N3848, up, down, left, right, all around, all were grid cells, layered, every grid cell was independent. However, because the grid cell material was very special and all were transparent, with only a black layer at the border, each grid cell was well distinguished.

Then—

After clearly seeing the situation of the Old Yellow Bull, Ji You immediately frowned: ”So, this thing is also framed in a grid cell now?”

He Bi, with a steady gaze, said, ”Yes.”

Ji You, frowning deeply, said: ”The moment it fell, I couldn’t even sense how those grid cells opened.”

Old Yellow Bull was airdropped straight from above, precisely hitting the grid cell above Ji You and the others—

That is, the grid cell above them.

And above that, it’s still a grid cell.

This place is entirely a world of grids; except for identical grids in size, volume, and specification, there is nothing else, without even a sliver of a gap in between.

But how did Old Yellow Bull pass through countless grids and fall in front of Ji You and the others?

This is a question.

He Bi, Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Liu Fufeng, these four people present, evidently all understood what this meant. As long as the moment of Old Yellow Bull’s fall was cracked and how those grid cells opened, then it would be the key to them leaving here.

”Someone is controlling,” He Bi said.

”What?” Chu Jiaojiao opened her mouth in astonishment: ”Senior, you mean to say that this dead bull was intentionally thrown down by someone?”

Only when thrown intentionally could the grid cells open all the way, allowing Old Yellow Bull to drop down.

He Bi looked up at the overhead and said, ”Before I wasn’t sure, but now, seeing this bull, I am certain. Everything here is being controlled by someone. However, the person here is only a term we can understand; they are not the same species as us.”

Chu Jiaojiao was stunned: ”Then, is everything we do also within their control?”

This...

This is too ridiculous, isn’t it?

So infuriating it made Chu Jiaojiao want to curse. Just thinking that everything she did was being watched, analyzed, and prepared for by one or even multiple pairs of eyes behind the scenes...

Ridiculous.

Too ridiculous.

Chu Jiaojiao raised her hand, pointing at the overhead, saying: ”Then what’s the purpose of them dropping this dead bull down? To scare us? To test our psychological endurance?”

At this moment, Ji You, who hadn’t spoken much, suddenly said: ”This isn’t a dead bull; it’s still alive. Don’t keep saying dead bull, offending people... offending bulls.”

”Huh?” Chu Jiaojiao: ”!!!”

Steadily standing He Bi and Liu Fufeng, who was leaning crookedly against the wall, were also all startled: ”What?”

”It’s not dead?”
