Chapter 1616: Chapter 1616: Pulling the Cart

Boom~

As Old Yellow Bull moved, the walls around the passage shook like a landslide, with not a single piece of its skin intact and gravely injured. This made its movements extremely clumsy and comical, the clumsier it got, the larger its actions, causing waves of tremors in the surrounding passage walls.

Ji You and He Bi crouched on the bull’s head, tightly holding onto its horns, precariously stabilizing themselves amidst the jolting.

Ji You couldn’t help but say, "Old Niu, take it easy, don’t run so fast."

Old Yellow Bull suddenly paused, then shook its body harder, accelerating its pace with big strides, its tail wildly slapping in Ji You and He Bi’s direction. Unfortunately, the two humans were too cunning, slippery and elusive, impossible to hit, while every time it swung its tail, it would smack its own body.

As Ji You and He Bi desperately clung to the horns, Old Yellow Bull’s mouth suddenly erupted with a thunderous roar:

"Moo—"

"Moo—"

"Moo—"

The sound almost knocked Ji You and He Bi straight to the ground.

They hurriedly stabilized themselves!

Ji You said, "Old Niu, stop yelling, you’re deafening everyone."

Old Yellow Bull ignored her, continuing to bellow.

Ji You said, "What are you yelling for? Calling your companions? I’m telling you, apart from me, don’t even think about having a second friend."

In the Spiritual World, Fourth couldn’t help but sigh, wagging his tail: [Master, it’s saying it hurts.]

Ji You: "..."

Ji You twitched her mouth and said, "Yelling because it hurts?"

Fourth: [Think about it, it’s wounded all over, walking one step would tug on the wounds, how can it not hurt?]

Ji You thought about it, then hastily said to Old Yellow Bull, "Old Niu, why are you so clumsy? Don’t run so fast, slow down, then it won’t hurt so much."

[No.]

[Smelly.]

[Can’t stand it.]

Old Yellow Bull, usually tight-lipped, suddenly stopped howling and surprisingly responded to Ji You, saying three sentences even.

"Ahem..." Ji You awkwardly chuckled and said, "It was a mistake, an operational mistake. Once the smell disperses, it won’t stink."

Old Yellow Bull ignored Ji, continuing to move forward toward the passage entrance.

At the moment Old Yellow Bull moved, the distant X-N3848 quickly reacted as well, immediately preparing to follow.

Therefore, the previously stagnant team began to set off again.

On the spaceship, Chu Jiaojiao and others watched the whole episode, with the spaceship’s communicator allowing them to clearly hear the conversation between He Bi and Ji You.

For a moment, everyone was deeply moved.

Liu Fufeng suddenly stopped sticking small figures and folding paper cranes, he fixed his pretty eyes on Ji You, and the stink bomb in Ji You’s hand, after watching for a while, finally said, "Ji You’s stink bombs really are useful, I... I want to buy more."

"Not only useful? They’re too useful!" Chu Jiaojiao, being a die-hard fan of Ji You, unconditionally supported her by saying, "Anything of Ji You’s, even a single strand of hair, is an adorable strand. Anything invented by Ji You, even a stink bomb, is an unparalleled stink bomb! I’ve decided, when Ji You returns, I’ll order a thousand, no! Ten thousand stink bombs."

"Idiot!" Yue Qiguang scolded, "Why order so many? Keep them as oxygen or something? Dad’s different, Dad only needs 100."

Ahem ahem...

It’s definitely not because there’s no money, just that the pocket money is managed by the foolish younger brother again.

Sheng Qingyan showed no interest in stink bombs, just humming, "You all buy more, don’t ask anyone to equip this stuff, people are so cute, how can you use such a stinky thing. No matter what, I won’t use it."

Yue Qiyuan and Shen Changqing mostly stayed silent, both fixedly watching the monitor, then Yue Qiyuan thought for a moment and said, "Based on estimation, when can the two of them return to the spaceship?"

The situation of He Bi and Ji You now seemed comical and amusing, with no apparent risk, but they stood directly on Old Yellow Bull, directly at the most dangerous center. If Old Yellow Bull turned hostile, they might find themselves in crisis again.

This bull, it may seem docile now, but who knows about the next moment?

Maybe, in the next moment, it will show its fangs.

Then,

Just when Shen Changqing wanted to speak, Old Yellow Bull’s tail suddenly whipped hard, smashing towards Ji You and He Bi!

Shen Changqing’s hand suddenly tightened.

In the next moment, Ji You and He Bi leapt onto the bull’s back.

Shen Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "With the current progress, we can’t determine how long the passage wall goes on for, maybe minutes, maybe hours, even possibly days..."

Shen Changqing paused for a moment, then continued, "In any case, as long as Old Yellow Bull blocks the passage entrance, we can’t do anything unless it gives way willingly, or if it dies, then we can dismantle it and proceed unobstructed to the Space Rift."

Yue Qiyuan frowned and said, "Having Old Yellow Bull voluntarily give way seems difficult, huh?"

Just then, their communicators simultaneously relayed the voices of Ji You and He Bi, "Give way to what?"

Shen Changqing wanted to answer but heard He Bi say, "Such a good bull cart, why have Old Yellow Bull give way, when we can spend time, effort, and energy going by ourselves?"

Shen Changqing: "???"

Ji You said, "Shen Changqing, we’ve discussed together and want you to extend the spaceship’s tow ropes and loop them around Old Yellow Bull’s neck, let it lead us!"

Worried Shen Changqing and others wouldn’t understand, Ji You explained further, "Open the tow ropes now and swing them over to us, we’ll put them on the bull’s head ourselves."

Shen Changqing didn’t say a word, immediately releasing the tow ropes.

In the next second, Old Yellow Bull’s tail suddenly swung over, but it was already a step too late. Ji You had grabbed it first, and after taking it, swiftly put the tow rope around the bull’s neck.

Old Yellow Bull: "Moo—"

[Annoying!]

Ji You chuckled and continued, fastening the tow rope, patting Old Yellow Bull’s head, and saying, "Old Niu, hang in there, once we’re out of the passage, we’ll release the rope, don’t worry, when Old Ji talks, he never lies."

Old Yellow Bull: "Moo—"

[Liar.]

Ji You chuckled and said, "Wrong, wrong, not lying to people, lying to bulls."

Old Yellow Bull opened its mouth wide.
