The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1663: Chapter 1663: That Little Crawfish

”Darn it! I’m really hungry.”

Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao then said in unison, and then, the two exchanged a glance, both seeing the same hungry expression in each other’s eyes.

Ji You raised a hand and slapped the table hard, saying, ”Let’s go, let’s hurry over, and grab a few crawfish to satisfy our cravings.”

”Can we really eat those things?” Chu Jiaojiao was a bit doubtful, but it didn’t stop her from thinking about the deliciousness of lobsters and crawfish...

So, Chu Jiaojiao swallowed her saliva, helplessly succumbing to the thought of delicious food, saying, ”Let’s go, let’s meet up with Senior He Bi earlier, maybe we can even eat some of the leftovers from Senior He Bi’s group.”

The two acted on their words, quickly piloting their spaceship, accelerating towards X-N3848.

While driving, Ji You fired a signal flare towards X-N3848 in hopes the other side would receive it.

After the signal flare was launched, Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao waited patiently for a while. Originally they thought they would have to wait for a long time, at least ten minutes, but unexpectedly, in less than 30 seconds, they received a response from Senior He Bi!

Ji You clicked on it and heard Senior He Bi’s voice, ”Back already?”

Ji You’s heart was filled with joy, and he immediately fired another signal flare.

Due to the network being unusable, timely communication wasn’t possible, so they had to rely on signal flares to transmit simple audio and text messages.

Afterward.

He Bi sent over a coordinate, instructing Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao to proceed toward that location.

Without a word, Ji You quickly adjusted the spaceship’s course, heading towards the target.

Along the way, it was very calm, without encountering any disturbances. Just as Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao held their breath and remained vigilant of their surroundings, suddenly a crawfish dashed over!

Its giant pincers were aiming straight for K-Q75!

”Good gracious!”

”Delivered right to us.” Ji You yelled, and without hesitation, pressed the button for the cannon in his hand!

Whoosh—

The crawfish seemed to be prepared and managed to dodge Ji You’s attack. Realizing it was a tough opponent, it cowardly turned to flee.

Not even looking back.

Chu Jiaojiao shouted, ”Where do you think you’re going!”

The crawfish ran incredibly fast, and its giant pincers didn’t even affect its speed, disappearing into the starry sky in the blink of an eye.

Ji You found it somewhat strange, wondering what was up with this crawfish? How could it possibly run so fast?

She extended her Spiritual Network, quickly tracing the direction the crawfish fled, and then noticed that the crawfish had disappeared without a trace, not leaving a single hint behind.

Chu Jiaojiao frowned and waited patiently for Ji You to finish her search.

Ji You retracted her Spiritual Network and then heard Chu Jiaojiao ask, ”Ji You, did it run away? Where did it go?”

Ji You shook her head and said, ”It probably hid somewhere, but no idea where, can’t find a single trace.”

Chu Jiaojiao furrowed her brows, ”What’s going on? This crawfish actually knows to pick on the weak and avoid the strong? Knows to run when it can’t win?”

Ji You rubbed her chin and said, ”Jiaojiao, have you noticed? After entering the Space Rift, the intelligence of these Star Beasts seems to have improved quite a bit, like the Two-headed Bull, this crawfish, and that moth...”

”That’s exactly what I wanted to ask you.” Chu Jiaojiao stretched her neck, looking around, but only saw endless starlit space, nothing else.

”Could it be that there’s something in this Universe that influences the development of Star Beasts, which is why the intelligence over there is generally low, and when the Beast Tide hits, they tend to go crazy?” Chu Jiaojiao muttered to herself, feeling her theory made sense, and she slapped her thigh, saying, ”I bet that’s it! Just don’t know if the Star Beasts here will be affected by the Beast Tide?”

Once the Beast Tide truly begins, whether it’s Low-level Star Beasts or High-level Star Beasts, without exception, all will fall into madness, everything they pass and see will become their target for rampage and slaughter...

Star Beasts of different races might even kill each other.

For so many years, humans have been trying to find powerful, high-intelligence Star Beasts within the Star Beast Group to communicate with them, to negotiate...

However, without exception, all have failed.

The Star Beast group lacks a powerful species that can resist the influence of the Beast Tide, nor is there any powerful Star Beast race that can unify the entire Star Beast Group.

Therefore—

Facing a disorganized, extremely low-intelligence, potentially mad group of Star Beasts, humans have no chance to negotiate with them, the only solution is eradication!

Only by eradicating all Star Beasts can humans resolve the threat posed by Star Beasts.

However, humans have actively eliminated countless Star Beasts, with the Alliance’s twelve Legions, the Galaxy Empire’s Imperial Sky Group, and warriors from nations and regions since entering the interstellar era have continuously eliminated Star Beasts over these long years, yet they can never be entirely eradicated, they only seem to increase the more they’re eliminated...

These, we won’t dwell on.

While Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao were baffled, a sound came from not far away, and the two looked up to see the figure of X-N3848.

Their eyes lit up simultaneously, ”It’s Senior He Bi’s group.”

”Finally met up with the main group.”

”I thought we wouldn’t get here so quickly, I even prepared to roam the Universe with Ji You,” Chu Jiaojiao said, staring at Ji You’s face, wearing a mysterious smile, leaving one wondering what’s truly inside her head.

Ji You ignored her, turned towards X-N3848, and sent a boarding request to the other side.

Over there.

As the spaceship’s main pilot, Yue Qiyuan quickly agreed.

Chu Jiaojiao and Ji You prepared to board, when suddenly K-Q75 issued a system alert: [Your temporary boarding authorization is about to expire, please continue to apply with the ship owner to obtain stay permission.]

Both Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao’s hearts skipped a beat!

”Oh no!” Chu Jiaojiao grabbed her hair, ”We haven’t had time to transfer the supplies from K-Q75!”

Ji You’s face crumpled up, ”Damn it! I thought we at least had ten minutes, which would be enough to transfer!”

”No time!” Chu Jiaojiao rushed straight to the food storage cabin, ”Grab as much as we can.”

Just then—

The system issued another warning, urging them to leave immediately or face attacks from the spaceship system!

There’s no choice.

Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao, unwilling to face the spaceship’s attack or cause any damage to it, decided to leave and think of another plan. Thus, they jumped off K-Q75 and in the next moment, drove their Mecha towards X-N3848.
