The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers-Chapter 950: Terrifying Strength

The spaceship quietly hovered in the pitch-black starry sky, surrounded by dead silence...

second.

No wind, no waves, as if the sudden cosmic storm earlier hadn’t occurred, and all previous encounters were merely the hallucinations of Ji You and the others. But!!! Ji You knew that terrifying presence still lurked around...

It’s here.

It hadn’t moved an inch.

...

Tension.

Ji You’s whole body was tense. She hunched her back, gripping the spaceship’s pause button tightly.

Yue Qiguang thought it was over. He was the first to get up, wanting to say something, but Ji You suddenly had a solemn look and whispered, "Don’t move, as before."

Yue Qiguang withdrew: "???"

Ji You frowned, offering no explanation.

Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, and Liu Fufeng originally wanted to stretch their limbs but upon hearing Ji You’s words, they continued their previous actions, not daring to move.

Suddenly~

An unusual wave, like a sound wave yet not quite, approached the spaceship from a distance.

Gulu gulu~

...

As this wave spread, a tingling, itchy feeling invaded everyone’s bodies, painful thousands of times more than being pricked by needles. No one dared to make a sound, not even the noise of swallowing.

At that moment, a slight cracking sound came from Ji You’s wrist, and everyone couldn’t help but follow the sound source with their eyes, immediately widening their eyes in shock.

It was the Mecha Space Button.

Ji You’s Mecha Space Button cracked.

It actually cracked! Everyone knew that the Space Button was developed over generations of research and improvements by countless Space Science scientists based on wormhole technology. It had three main features: stability, robustness, and convenience. It could even withstand the assault of Level 12 cosmic storms. Yet—it had now cracked?

Crack~

Crack~

Crack~

The crack kept expanding, growing larger and larger...

Thud~

A small figure rolled out from the Space Button——

When the Little Golden Dragon rolled onto the ground, its tail hooked upwards in a blink, snagging onto Ji You’s clothing, then jumped up along the clothing, and threw itself into Ji You’s arms, curling up tightly: "Ji You, I’m scared~"

Ji You: "..."

Ji You’s whole body was tingling, her hair, cells, even her bone marrow trembling, yet she still managed to lift her hand, gently massaging the Little Golden Dragon’s head as a form of comfort.

The Space Button specifically for the Little Golden Dragon had shattered, but hiding in Ji You’s arms made it feel safer than being inside the Button. It huddled tightly, not daring to move or make a sound.

Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan... everyone held their breath consciously.

Meanwhile——

As this strange wave rippled out——

Spirit Space.

Six Spiritual Silks tightly clustered together, like a taut spider web, spread across Ji You’s Spirit Core, the web formed by the Six Strands lay still, not daring to move...

And, at the far end of the Spirit Space, nearly void——

Xiao You nestled within the Iron Plate’s enclosed space, had been simulating material creation when she suddenly felt the single light source above extinguish.

Xiao You froze: [Sister?]

No response.

Xiao You grew anxious, and then noticed the Iron Plate Space begin rapidly contracting around her, centering on herself~

Whoosh~

Whoosh~

Whoosh~

Unprepared, Xiao You was tightly enveloped by the Iron Plate, like a silkworm cocoon, unable to budge.

The light source went out.

The light source—represented her sister!

Xiao You grew anxious, breaking out in a cold sweat: [Sister!]

[Sister!]

[Sister!]

...

But, no response came.

Xiao You called out repeatedly for her sister... but there was no reply, as if she were the only one left in the world, surrounded by darkness stretching infinitely... her tears flowed silently, drip, drip...

...

Ji You was unaware of these events inside the Iron Plate Space. At that moment, driven by a strong instinct, she almost subconsciously severed her connection with Xiao You.

Silence.

Silent and still.

...

Suddenly~

Gulu gulu~

A wave similar to the previous eerie one, but slightly different, surged from all directions~

Ji You, the Little Golden Dragon in Ji You’s arms, Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, Liu Fufeng, all curled up tightly, teeth not daring so much as to twitch.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Once the strange wave dissipated, the presence that had horrified Ji You and the others faded away rapidly.

Yet Ji You and the others still dared not move.

A long while passed.

Only after confirming the terrifying presence had completely vanished did Ji You release the spaceship’s main control button weakly.

"Phew~"

’Phew~’

"Phew~"

Everyone panted heavily, looking at each other, confusion appearing in their eyes simultaneously:

Yue Qiguang pinched his thigh tightly: "Damn! What the hell was that just now? I’ve never been so scared in my life!" In fact, Yue Qiguang had always had a courageous nature. Since birth, he hadn’t known what ’fear’ was. But—in the face of that presence, fear seemed to seep into his very bones...

This!

Yue Qiguang was frustrated: "Damn it! What exactly is it?"

Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan all frowned hard, Chu Jiaojiao murmured, "Could—could it be the Star Beast?"

Shen Changqing shook his head, his brows knitted, saying, "No. Doesn’t seem like it. My intuition tells me, it’s not the Star Beast."

Yue Qiyuan bit down on his still-trembling teeth, saying, "If there are such forces in the Universe, opposing humanity, then—does humanity still have hope?"

At these words, silence fell over the group once more.

Ji You grabbed her tingling scalp, saying, "It doesn’t necessarily mean they’re against humanity... huh?"

Halfway through speaking, feeling strange, Ji You looked down only to see Liu Fufeng sitting sprawled on the floor, hands wrapped around her own legs like an octopus...

Ji You: "..."

Ji You was speechless: "When did you wrap your legs around me?"

Liu Fufeng’s face remained calm, not flushed or short of breath, her pretty face totally unperturbed, saying, "Five minutes ago."

Ji You: "!!!"

What the heck!!! She was wrapped around my legs five minutes ago, and I didn’t even realize!

How is that possible?

Ji You almost couldn’t believe it: "Are you sure?"

Liu Fufeng’s eyes were clear as she said, "Yeah. I was too scared, couldn’t hold back, had to crawl over."

Ji You: "..."

The others witnessing all this were left speechless. Only Chu Jiaojiao jumped in envy, shouting, "Damn! Why didn’t I think of that? I’m scared too... Next time, I’m holding onto classmate Ji You’s legs."

Ji You: "..."

Everyone else: "..."
