The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1587: Chapter 1587: Ji You Drifted Away

Behind the tail of spaceship X-N3848, two ’kites’ struggled because of the spaceship’s high speed, the pursuit of the two mosquitoes behind them, and the waves stirred up by the mosquitoes flapping their wings. He Bi and Ji You, acting as the kites, couldn’t stabilize themselves at all and could only drift with the current.

Shhh~

Suddenly blown to the top of the sky.

Shhh~

The next moment, falling into the abyss below.

Shhh~

The two ropes on the tail became thinner and thinner, causing Chu Jiaojiao and Yue Qiguang, standing on the deck, to look extremely serious.

This type of rope is similar to a rubber band—stretchable and extremely tough, unable to be cut by a knife. It just withstood the spiritual wave attacks from the two mosquitoes but held on.

However, no matter how hard and solid something is, it has a limit of bearing capacity. Once it crosses this limit, there’s a risk of breaking.

Therefore, Chu Jiaojiao and Yue Qiguang frowned tightly, staring intently at the ropes secured on the spaceship’s tail, fearful they might suddenly snap.

Meanwhile, the two tried to spread their net wide to catch He Bi and Ji You.

But, since the ropes stretched too long, He Bi and Ji You were actually more than 5000 meters away from the spaceship now, and as the ropes stretched tighter, this distance continued to increase... Both were only wearing combat suits, which, while resistant to space radiation and the harsh environment of space, could not withstand an attack from a Level 12 Star Beast. If the two mosquitoes caught up with them, they faced certain death!

So, hurry! Hurry!

Beside them, Liu Fufeng and Yue Qiyuan sat on the deck, fingers flying, weaving the net continuously. The net wasn’t long enough to catch them, because Ji You and He Bi were moving further away from the spaceship. They had to constantly lengthen the net.

Liu Fufeng sat quietly, his pale and delicate fingers skillfully holding the needles and thread, flipping and weaving the net with great dexterity, more agile and graceful than a real embroiderer—one might find it hard to believe that just seconds ago, his movements were extremely clumsy.

Compared to Liu Fufeng’s pleasing dexterity, Yue Qiyuan was different. His movements were like a gorilla’s first attempt at using a knife and fork—more clumsy than skillful, giving viewers a headache.

Yue Qiyuan was also very tense at this moment; he swore he had never done such delicate work in his life. The net seemed to be his sworn enemy. He tried hard to weave, but it only became more tangled. Just when Yue Qiyuan was at a loss, Liu Fufeng suddenly said, ”You hold the thread for me, and leave the rest to me.”

Yue Qiyuan stopped: ”Can you weave it alone?”

Liu Fufeng looked up at him, eyes showing a trace of helplessness, sighing: ”It’s better than you messing it up here.”

Yue Qiyuan: ”...”

Choked off, Yue Qiyuan quickly stood up and said, ”Alright, I’ll hold onto it for you and prevent it from knotting.”

Liu Fufeng: ”Okay.”

Seeming to think of something, Liu Fufeng whispered: ”Ji You and Senior He Bi will be fine.”

He promised.

Promising to finish weaving the web before the rope breaks.

That’s all he could do.

Hearing Liu Fufeng’s words, Yue Qiyuan squeezed his fingers tightly, pursing his lips, and said, ”They’ll definitely be fine.”

As if to comfort himself, Yue Qiyuan added: ”Definitely.”

Then.

Yue Qiyuan cleared all chaotic thoughts from his mind and began to carefully untangle the silk threads. Through his sorting, the threads reached Liu Fufeng in good order and soon became part of the woven net.

Their speed was very fast. They used almost all means and strength. Once the net was woven and handed back to Yue Qiguang and Chu Jiaojiao, Liu Fufeng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole body collapsing onto the deck.

Yue Qiyuan lifted his hand to support him. Looking down, he saw Liu Fufeng’s already pale face had turned paper white, the distribution of blood vessels faintly visible, and his forehead covered in a fine layer of sweat...

This was no act.

Yue Qiyuan knew; this time, the drama king wasn’t acting. This was his body’s true condition and was quite awful. Yue Qiyuan dragged over the treatment cabin he had prepared beforehand and stuffed Liu Fufeng inside.

Hopefully, he’ll be alright.

Yue Qiyuan clenched his fists tightly, suddenly hating his own helplessness.

In this confrontation with the mosquitoes, the key player wasn’t Ji You, nor He Bi, or Chu Jiaojiao... but Liu Fufeng!

Liu Fufeng’s unique and powerful spiritual power hiding ability, when the spaceship was sucked into the vortex created by the mosquitoes and about to be torn apart specifically by the mosquitoes, it was Liu Fufeng who spread out the Spiritual Silk Network, concealing the spiritual power of everyone on the spaceship, thus avoiding a fatal blow.

Also relying on Liu Fufeng’s strong hiding ability, Ji You and He Bi singlehandedly jumped off the spaceship at that moment, sneaking to the mosquito’s side, tying the mosquito’s wings into a dead knot to temporarily halt the mosquito’s attack, allowing the spaceship to escape the whirlpool smoothly.

Ji You’s plan was flawless, not costing a single person, successfully rescuing everyone. However, no matter how meticulous the plan, there were still mistakes. They didn’t anticipate the mosquitoes’ swift response, resulting in Ji You and He Bi failing to jump on the spaceship before the mosquitoes noticed the anomaly and started their counterattack.

Ji You and He Bi were forced to hang onto the spaceship’s tailwing to escape.

Moreover, the two dead knots woven from exceptionally precious and durable Level 8 silk could only hold the two Level 12 mosquitoes for 5 seconds instead of 10, falling short of their expectations and placing Ji You and He Bi, who ventured into the mosquito’s vicinity, in a more precarious situation.

With not enough Physical Strength and not the most outstanding spiritual power, Yue Qiyuan squatted beside the treatment instrument, guarding Liu Fufeng inside. He could do nothing but keep watch by his comrade’s side.

On the other side, the moment they received the net, Chu Jiaojiao and Yue Qiguang joined forces to spread it out towards Ji You and Senior He Bi’s direction.

Woosh~

Woosh~

Woosh~

The woven net, through the combined efforts of Chu Jiaojiao and Yue Qiyuan, spread out swiftly and urgently towards Ji You and He Bi, just enough to cover them from above. But as the net was about to envelop them, Yue Qiguang heard a very faint snapping sound, his pupils contracted, and his heart nearly stopped at that moment.

The rope tied to Ji You snapped with a crack!

Broke!

It really broke!

In an instant, with the spaceship moving at such a high speed, Ji You, without the rope holding her, disappeared into the endless sea of stars!
