The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1709: Chapter 1709: Old Niu Awakens

He Bi flew with two soul devices for a while at the top of the cubicle, then immediately directed the soul devices to Old Yellow Bull’s head position.

Ji You was at a distance; her spiritual power extended, passing through the cubicle, and reached Old Yellow Bull’s position.

Then, He Bi thoroughly activated the two soul devices, at that moment—

Sensing the attraction of the soul devices, Ji You’s spiritual world became agitated.

Ji You’s heart tightened.

Iron won’t come out to make trouble, will he?

Ji You hurriedly stepped back, not daring to get too close, and thankfully the worrying Iron did not appear, while the six excited spiritual silks remained under Ji You’s control without moving.

Then—

Ji You kept a certain distance to observe and saw Old Yellow Bull’s weak spiritual fluctuations suddenly become excited in an instant.

Hmm?

Useful?

Ji You opened her eyes wide in surprise.

He Bi asked, ”Useful?”

Ji You nodded, ”There’s a reaction.”

Using his actions, He Bi pressed himself and the mecha against the wall of the cubicle, alongside Old Yellow Bull with only a transparent barrier between them. They could clearly see the pitiful mess of flesh covered with wounds of varying depths, even some that were terrifying.

He Bi did not even blink, remaining motionless.

Ji You observed carefully. After Old Yellow Bull’s spiritual power became excited, it gradually increased to double its strength.

And—

As Old Yellow Bull’s spiritual power revived, cracks started to appear on the High-level Soul Device.

”Crack~”

”Crack~”

”Crack~”

The High-level Soul Device continuously emitted light cracking sounds—

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Ji You widened her eyes throughout; it was her first time seeing such a scene. It turns out soul devices can indeed replenish a star beast’s spiritual power, and in such a visually tangible manner.

Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, including Mr. Cheng Yu said that the soul device wearer takes time for the soul device to constantly nourish their spiritual power?

There is actually this quick replenishment method.

No way!

Ji You thought of herself; each time she used a soul device made by someone else, the replenishment speed was very fast, less than a second—in the blink of an eye, the soul device would be scrapped on the spot.

She consumed soul devices faster than Old Yellow Bull.

But!

That’s because she had Iron, the Gold Swallowing Beast.

What does Old Yellow Bull have?

Ji You stared wide-eyed.

He Bi’s surprise was no less than Ji You’s; was this High-level Soul Device about to fail... fail?

”How is that possible?” He Bi couldn’t help but voice the surprise inside.

Chu Jiaojiao, Liu Fufeng, Shen Changqing, and others were far away, only relying on the spaceship’s monitor to observe the situation over there with Ji You and He Bi.

At that moment, everyone was extremely surprised.

When Ji You thought the soul device was about to fail, the cracking sound of the High-level Soul Device suddenly stopped.

Then—

The Intermediate Soul Device next to it suddenly failed.

Ji You: ”!!!”

He Bi: ”???”

Silence.

The scene was silent...

At that moment, another cracking sound was heard, and then the High-level Soul Device shattered.

It truly shattered, turning into powder.

Ji You had no time to think about it because the next moment, she suddenly heard a deafening roar deep in her mind: ”Moo——”

Ji You raised her hand and covered her ears.

”Moo——”

Initially, Old Yellow Bull was only howling with spiritual power; after a while, its seemingly dead body began to shake violently.

Ji You and He Bi quickly stepped back.

Old Yellow Bull’s shaking in the upper cubicle also caused the cubicle Ji You and others were in to begin shaking...

Even causing a part of it to collapse.

Just when Ji You and He Bi were about to retreat back to the spaceship, the shaking above suddenly stopped.

”Moo——” The loud voice of Old Yellow Bull, seemingly able to break the sky, started to decrease, appearing somewhat feeble.

This was due to weakness.

It tried to shake its body again but couldn’t.

Seeing this, Ji You understood that Old Yellow Bull was too injured to recover. Those two High-level Soul Devices only woke its consciousness, unable to repair physical injuries.

Ji You frowned, ”Old Bull, what happened? Weren’t you cool and free-spirited before? Why end up in this sorry state?”

This voice made Old Yellow Bull quiver, shaking the entire cubicle. Its head spun around until it suddenly made contact with Ji You’s dark eyes.

Old Yellow Bull: [...]

At that moment—

Old Yellow Bull nearly fainted from fear; its eyes rolled back as if about to pass out.

Ji You shouted, ”Don’t close them!”

Old Yellow Bull shivered, opening its mouth:

”Moo——”

[It hurts~]

Old Yellow Bull called out weakly.

Ji You sternly said, ”Don’t pretend you can’t see me or didn’t hear me. I know you can hear me and sense my spiritual waves.”

After she finished speaking, Old Yellow Bull’s enormous body paused slightly. The pupil on the hidden head rotated around.

”Moo——”

[Hurts~]

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You gritted her teeth, ”Do you think my stinky bomb can’t pass through the cubicle?”

Old Yellow Bull: [!!!]

In an instant, Old Yellow Bull stopped complaining about pain or fatigue: ”Moo——”

[So annoying!]

[You humans are so annoying.]

Ji You’s lips curled up, ”Old Bull, we’ve been brothers for a while and cooperated before. I’ll never threaten you with a stinky bomb, don’t worry. To express my happiness seeing you, I have a little gift for you.”

Then—

Ji You started pulling out the Space Button and took out a stinky bomb, then another stinky bomb, and a third, fourth...

”Ugh!”

”What’s this?”

”Why do I only have useless stinky bombs?” After a few curses, Ji You regretfully shook her head, ”Old Bull, I owe you a gift for now and I’ll give it to you later.”

Old Yellow Bull instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

”Moo——”

It really breathed a heavy sigh of relief; even the sound from its throat had a sense of ease.

Ji You said with a smile, ”Old Bull, it really is fate, look, you’ve been gone for so long but you still came back yourself. It’s such a coincidence.”

Old Yellow Bull: ”Moo——”

[So... so angry!]

Ji You asked, ”Why angry after such a long separation? Could it be—” Ji You lowered her eyes, ”You don’t want to see me?”

Old Yellow Bull shivered.

He Bi saw this and finally felt relieved; at least, this bull wouldn’t die anytime soon.
