The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1758: Chapter 1758: Old Niu’s Annoyance Rankings

Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing, He Bi... everyone was racing against time, trying to break through the grid-like breeding ground and find the enemy’s base to support Ji You. After separating from the group, Ji You initially sat grandly on Old Yellow Bull’s head, striding forward confidently. But soon, she chickened out and quickly hid behind Old Yellow Bull’s big ears, trying to stabilize her posture.

No choice, Old Yellow Bull’s speed was really too fast. If she didn’t hide behind the ears to use Old Yellow Bull’s thick skin to block the airflow, she wouldn’t be able to keep her balance at all.

Additionally, the Little Golden Dragon was hiding in Ji You’s hair. Still, its sensitivity to the outside world hadn’t been completely lost. Its two golden vertical pupils peeked out from Ji You’s hair strands, constantly observing the environment with great attention.

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

...

The intense airflow could easily lead people to a misconception—is this really an alien world? Could this be Ancient Earth?

Ji You frowned and said, ”I always feel like I’ve not come to an alien civilization but to ancient Earth.”

After the Black Fog dispersed, seeing the blue skies and white clouds gave Ji You this illusion.

Now, feeling the surging airflow, Ji You was even more suspicious.

Fortunately.

She was wearing protective clothing, fully armed, and her physical strength had greatly improved, enabling her to temporarily withstand the current flying speed.

The Little Golden Dragon tilted its head and asked, ”What ancient Earth?”

After asking, it quickly searched its database and understood instantly, ”Oh, you’re talking about humanity’s Dawn Star?”

Ji You said, ”Yes, the environment here always gives me that illusion. I don’t know if my senses are deceiving me.”

The Little Golden Dragon frowned and said, ”The more it’s like this, the more you should trust your instincts.”

”Look—” The Little Golden Dragon wagged its tail, pointing below the two of them—

At this moment, Old Yellow Bull was continuously running. It didn’t need Ji You’s command; this kind of beast naturally had survival instincts.

Especially when terrifying enemies might be lurking ahead, Old Yellow Bull’s natural beast instincts played a huge role. So, when it sprinted madly, its speed was no less than humanity’s strongest spaceships.

The Little Golden Dragon said, ”I told you, let’s not bother it. Let it run according to its own whims. See, we’ve been running for nearly 5 minutes and haven’t encountered any enemies, not even a mosquito. So, sometimes instincts are effective.”

Saying this, the Little Golden Dragon retracted its tail into Ji You’s hair, hiding itself tightly, only revealing two eyes. Even the eyes squinted into a slit, deliberately adjusting the pupil color to match Ji You’s hair.

Thus, unless carefully examined, it was impossible to spot the Little Golden Dragon’s figure.

Ji You couldn’t help but tease upon hearing its continuous chatter, ”So, you’re hiding so thoroughly also because of your instinct?”

The Little Golden Dragon was speechless for a moment before adjusting its golden pupils to black in frustration, then angrily reverted them back to gold.

Despite this, it retorted stubbornly: ”Nonsense! How could Lord Heavenly Dog be cowardly? Absolutely not.”

”Oh—” Ji You said blandly, ”I didn’t say you were cowardly. Why did you admit it yourself?”

The Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

The Little Golden Dragon stomped, ”I’m just following my heart! Following my heart!”

”Shh—” Ji You raised a hand, covering her mouth and said, ”Something’s wrong.”

The Little Golden Dragon’s expression changed, ”Indeed, something’s wrong.”

The rapidly running Old Yellow Bull suddenly halted, looking around, finding nothing unusual, yet didn’t dare take a step forward.

Meanwhile—

Less than 1000 meters ahead, an invisible net had quietly set up, waiting for Old Yellow Bull to step into it.

Moreover, behind this invisible net, a highly disciplined team was manipulating the net. The members were uniformly tall and hefty, wearing deep red uniforms, with short red hair.

They held their breath and remained still, unmoving by the side.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Old Yellow Bull remained suspended in mid-air, motionless. As for the area beneath it, it was murky gray, unfathomable, completely concealing what lay beneath.

Everything unknowable, beyond control, made Old Yellow Bull anxiously spin around, unable to decide whether to advance, retreat, or turn...

Then—

Old Yellow Bull opened its mouth, ”Moo—”

[Where to go?]

In the end, it had no choice but to ask that annoying human insect. It couldn’t shake her off now, and inexplicably felt staying in this strange place was unsafe everywhere. Everyone seemed to harbor ill intentions for Old Niu’s life except staying next to Ji You, the human insect, felt the safest.

Hence, Old Yellow Bull felt particularly conflicted.

This insect was not much better than the bad guys. She often bullied and belittled Old Niu and showed keen interest in Old Niu’s flesh...

If not for the virus within Old Niu, Old Yellow Bull felt its horrid speculation would quickly come true. Who knows, she might even carve into Old Niu’s flesh, making hotpot and BBQ skewers...

Thinking of this, Old Yellow Bull couldn’t help but shudder.

This shaking shrank Old Yellow Bull, sensing an even more terrifying presence than a hotpot.

That presence—

Was there genuinely someone eyeing Old Niu’s meat?

Old Yellow Bull’s pupils contracted.

Just then, a slightly low voice sounded beside Old Yellow Bull’s ear, ”Old Niu, don’t panic, I’m here.”

Somehow, at that moment, in the midst of its chaotic thoughts, Old Yellow Bull felt its nervous heart suddenly calm down.

Old Yellow Bull tilted its head, puzzled as to why it would feel reassured hearing this annoying human insect’s words.

Could it be it really should trust her?

Trust?

However—

Its great-great-grandfather had once said, better to believe in ghosts in this world than in humans’ words.

Humans are absolutely not to be trusted.

Old Yellow Bull hardly managed to live to 200 years, outliving its grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather... and gained far more experience, having watched secret TV dramas and seen humans from afar... a tremendous number already, and Ji You truly topped the list of the most annoying kind!

This insect’s words, could they be deceiving the bull?
