Chapter 1598: Personnel Changes
The Dragon Qilin was the first to chase after it, moving fast and urgently. It seemed about to grab the Crystal Core, when, in that instant, it was preempted by a tiger. But before the tiger could seize it, the next moment, a bird’s massive beak struck the tiger’s back, causing the tiger to tremble uncontrollably, and the Crystal Core rolled off the tiger’s paws, only to be seized again by the Dragon Qilin!
But!
The Dragon Qilin held it for no more than a millisecond before another Star Beast snatched it away!
The scene was chaotic!
As Ji You and He Bi threw out the Crystal Core, the Fierce Thunder Beast erupted in a fury, tossing the Crystal Core so far that it drained He Bi of all his physical strength, yet he stubbornly held onto Ji You, leaping from the Fierce Thunder Beast’s head with momentum, but the beast slapped at He Bi’s head, and He Bi was unable to dodge...
In that moment, the two were so close, Ji You could clearly see the single white strand on Senior He Bi’s nape, and the sharp spikes standing on the Fierce Thunder Beast’s paw... Ji You’s heart felt as if it were being fiercely squeezed by a pair of hands, watching helplessly as the beast’s paw came down, and though He Bi was not completely unaware, he couldn’t evade, instinctively pushing Ji You aside instead—
Ji You’s ears, nostrils, eyes, mouth... all bleeding, she stared fixedly at Senior He Bi’s intact nape without a thought, suddenly shouting in rage: "Get away!"
Get away—
This shout was like ocean waves, layer upon layer spreading around, causing the Fierce Thunder Beast’s paw to abruptly pause, and all the Star Beasts present were intimidated by this immense pressure, halting their actions!
Unfortunately—
After Ji You yelled this, she went limp, collapsing, and in the next moment, was scooped up by He Bi and tucked under his armpit.
Taking advantage of the Star Beasts’ momentary daze, He Bi summoned the Mecha, no longer caring to hide, shoved Ji You into the makeshift treatment cabin, and piloted the Mecha towards X-N3848!
Shen Changqing, piloting X-N3848, was already prepared for the rendezvous, swiftly zooming over in that short time! The spaceship opened its protective shield, lowered the lift, and He Bi dashed up the ladder, leaping onto the spaceship deck.
Without saying anything, He Bi retrieved Ji You from the makeshift treatment instrument and tossed her into the sophisticated treatment instrument prepared by Chu Jiaojiao and the others. Just as the cabin door closed, Ji You suddenly opened her eyes: "Cough... I think I can still be saved, don’t bury me in a coffin."
After speaking!
Ji You passed out.
He Bi gestured: "Throw her."
Crack~
Chu Jiaojiao closed the cabin door, somewhat worried, saying: "Ji You might just be having a last moment of consciousness, right?"
"Spit!" Yue Qiguang spat heavily: "Don’t speak with such a foul mouth."
Yue Qiyuan stood aside, looking at the still upright He Bi, asking: "Senior, did you really obtain..."
He Bi raised a hand, stopping Yue Qiyuan mid-sentence, and said solemnly: "Move!"
Shen Changqing piloted the spaceship without hesitation, racing towards the Space Rift’s entryway.
From the moment He Bi tossed the Crystal Core to when he and Ji You returned aboard X-N3848, everything from start to finish lasted less than 10 seconds.
Meanwhile, the Star Beast Group continued to chase the level 12 Crystal Core, fighting fiercely over it!
Under Shen Changqing’s control, X-N3848 traveled steadily and swiftly, but in the next instant was unexpectedly blocked. It turned out not all Star Beasts went after the Crystal Core; some dangerous Star Beasts remained clear-headed, seemingly finding ambushing humans more beneficial.
The sudden blockade caused X-N3848 to pause, and at that moment, two spaceships suddenly charged from the side. Each spaceship was fiercer than the last, aggressively ramming the tiger’s body and pushing it aside! Taking advantage of this fleeting gap, X-N3848 leapt into the Space Rift!
And the next moment, the tiger and several other Star Beasts reacted, attempting to follow, when suddenly something flew out of the Space Rift!
The emergence of this object startled the tiger and the High-level Star Beasts, causing them to pause and instinctively distance themselves, until they saw clearly that it was merely a Viper Worm’s corpse!
And it was unquestionably a dead corpse!
Then, the two spaceships sprang into the Space Rift.
This passage was remarkably narrow, surprising everyone, including Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing... only accommodating a passenger-type spaceship through. Fortunately, X-N3848 was already compact, and the human ships prepared for the blockade weren’t large, sufficient to enter.
Once X-N3848 entered, before it could come to a complete stop, it turned its attack direction, targeting the Star Beasts attempting to charge in, allowing for Shen Sheng and Ouyang Zhou leading the First Star System people, along with Gu Peiyuan and Li Mengran leading the Second Star System people, to have their two spaceships rush through.
Following this.
The three spaceships held their position at the entrance, attacking any Star Beast trying to force its way in.
After He Bi tossed the Viper Worm’s corpse out, scaring the tiger and some Star Beasts into retreat, thereby creating an opportunity for Shen Sheng and others, he pulled hard again the next second, retracting the rope.
Then, Chu Jiaojiao and others clearly saw the recently thrown Viper Worm corpse being dragged back onto the spaceship deck.
Chu Jiaojiao had to exclaim: "Senior He Bi and Ji You are just as frugal, no wonder you two smell alike."
He Bi shuddered, coughed up blood, dismissed it, wiped it away, and said: "Ji You retrieved this corpse, if she wakes up and doesn’t find it, she’ll definitely demand compensation from me." How could he not retrieve it?
Upon hearing this, Chu Jiaojiao and others empathized greatly, Yue Qiguang said: "Senior, now are we?"
"Pfft—" He Bi coughed up blood again, wiped it away, and said: "Run!"
Why wait for those Star Beasts to come to their senses and rush in to cause trouble?
He Bi wanted to roar, but when he opened his mouth, he spat out another mouthful of blood!
Then—
He Bi was dragged into the treatment cabin by Chu Jiaojiao and Yue Qiguang. Before being pulled in, He Bi glared, "You... pfft... you..." If you dare mess around, I’ll beat you—
Pfft—
Splash~
A mouthful of blood, then He Bi couldn’t utter a complete sentence before being stuffed into the treatment cabin by Chu Jiaojiao and Yue Qiguang. Before the cabin door closed, He Bi heard Chu Jiaojiao lamenting: "We’re doomed, Senior He Bi and Ji You are both incapacitated, our team has no Captain now. Otherwise, I’ll be the Captain?"
He Bi glared!
Yue Qiguang was thoroughly unwilling: "You, did you ask Dad?"
Chu Jiaojiao waved a fist at him, without saying a word, while Yue Qiyuan promptly dragged his dim-witted brother down. Thus, the Captain shifted once again.
He Bi glared once more!
In that brief period, X-N3848 saw such frequent personnel changes, what kind of form is this?
