Chapter 1623: Chapter 1623: Not Suitable for a Long Stay

Ji You has always had a loose tongue. Whatever she said, nobody paid much attention. They just focused on her hand—more precisely, the transparent tube of liquid she was holding.

It was a tube made of special material, containing a pink liquid mixed with a hint of white.

He Bi squinted his eyes, "Did it fail?"

Ji You stomped, "How could it possibly fail? When mighty Ji You steps up, success is guaranteed!"

"But why is this stuff pink?" Yue Qiyuan pointed at what Ji You was holding, "It doesn’t look very reassuring."

"We’re running out of time." Chu Jiaojiao said, "I trust Ji You. Senior He Bi, tell us what to do; I’m ready anytime."

Time was tight, leaving them no room for hesitation. Despite his vast doubts and unease, He Bi said, "We just finished mending the net. Bring over the invisibility liquid, and we’ll apply it to the net."

"Will that work?" Ji You hadn’t anticipated this, "The Viper Worms can become invisible because they’re living creatures. If we apply this invisibility substance to the net, can it really make the net invisible?"

He Bi did not respond, but Shen Changqing had already spoken first, "It can, but the duration is very short, only about 30 seconds."

Upon hearing this, Ji You clapped, "Then, let’s go for it."

"Let’s get to work!"

"Is the net ready?"

"Container!"

"Hurry!"

...

Without hesitation, everyone divided the tasks among themselves and worked together, spreading the invisibility liquid all over the net. Shen Changqing sat in the cockpit, watching the monitor, and reminded, "The Two-headed Bull is predicted to strike in 10 seconds."

"8 seconds."

"5 seconds."

"3 seconds."

...

He Bi remained silent, continuously looking in the direction of the moth. The moth’s form flickered unexpectedly and was hard to capture. However, to lead the Two-headed Bull to attack the human spaceship, it had to move closer to the humans and occasionally show itself.

This created an operational opportunity for the humans.

This was why He Bi had been allowing the spaceship to withstand the first few attacks of the Two-headed Bull repeatedly.

Repeated success drastically lowered the moth’s vigilance to its lowest point. It flapped its wings, hovering over the human Protective Shield. At the same moment, the attack from the Two-headed Bull swiftly approached!

The moth, significantly smaller in size, flapped its wings and swiftly flew off as the Two-headed Bull’s immensely powerful strike hit!

Another miss.

The moth fluttered its wings in relief, but suddenly it felt an urgent crisis. As it wondered what it was, the moth suddenly felt trapped!

Wait!

Trapped?

It rotated its head slightly but found nothing unusual around it, nor did it see any human little bugs. Meanwhile, the Two-headed Bull’s attack landed on the humans’ spaceship, causing a loud rumbling sound!

A loud rumbling sound?

The sound lasted briefly and then disappeared!

Disappeared?

The moth tilted its head, "???"

Wait, this sudden absence of sound seems suspicious.

Wait, why does the buzzing sound return near its ears? Before the moth could thoroughly figure it out, it felt its body under attack!

Boom——

A micro arrow directly embedded into the moth’s abdomen!

Moth: "!!!"

Painful, but not fatal. But that arrow suddenly emitted a bright light, illuminating the moth’s sound clearly, while nearby, the pair of bulls’ eyes blinked.

The moth ignored this; it was very angry at the moment, filled with fury!

Flap flap~

It furiously flapped its wings, intending to teach those deceitful human little bugs a lesson, completely neglecting that its biggest adversary was not the humans but the foolish bull!

Boom——

When the Two-headed Bull’s hoof struck down, the moth didn’t even have time to fly away and was squashed into mush.

Witnessing this scene, Ji You and the others widened their eyes!

Yue Qiguang shouted, "Woah!!! It’s gone just like that?"

Yue Qiyuan shrugged, "Gone."

Chu Jiaojiao stared, "Gone?"

Ji You somewhat awkwardly closed her gaping mouth and then said, "I deduced it, and confirmed it’s gone; it departed peacefully."

Liu Fufeng calculated with his fingers, earnestly saying, "Too peaceful; it didn’t even leave a last word."

Squatting on the launch pad, Sheng Qingyan put away his bow and arrow, covering his mouth, "Quite tragic..."

Chu Jiaojiao said, "It died rather simply."

Shen Changqing spoke quietly, "Despite the moth’s strong abilities, its body was extremely fragile. A Level 12 moth’s body is not even as strong as a Level 8 Star Beast’s. Facing a Level 12 Two-headed Bull and us, its death wasn’t simple at all; reaching this outcome didn’t require much precise calculation."

Chu Jiaojiao opened her mouth but still said, "Yet it died too simply. I feel after catching it in the net, I could probably punch it to death."

"Stop boasting!" Yue Qiguang said dismissively, "You claim you can kill a Level 8 Star Beast with a punch; why don’t you dream of killing a Level 12 one?"

"It’s not entirely impossible." Shen Changqing said, "If Jiaojiao bursts out with maximum strength, though she’d need the strength of two Jiaojiao’s, it could be achieved."

Yue Qiguang was somewhat displeased, saying, "According to your words, ten of me could even beat Admiral Bai Ji."

He Bi heard this, glaring at these aimless juniors, and scolded, "Stop your nonsense dreaming. Come over and help quickly! We need to borrow the Two-headed Bull’s strength again."

Previously, the Two-headed Bull helped pull the ship, saving a lot of energy and greatly increasing speed. Such good fortune, having happened once, a second time was desirable. He Bi had already decided that as the Two-headed Bull accelerated out of the channel, they’d need to harness its power.

Therefore, He Bi commanded, "Shen Changqing, launch the tow rope."

Shen Changqing complied instantly, firing directly.

The tow rope successfully launched. The Two-headed Bull noticed it and shook its body angrily, trying to shake off the tow rope. Unfortunately, it didn’t succeed. However, its current bigger problem wasn’t the human tow rope but the burning powder on its body.

This powder self-ignited upon landing on Old Yellow Bull, scorching its skin charred black, leaving hardly any intact pieces.

Everyone witnessed this scene.

Shen Changqing asked, "Senior, the fires on the Two-headed Bull haven’t extinguished; are you sure it can endure and exit the channel?"

He Bi said, "Its death would be beneficial for us. I’m just worried if it doesn’t die and remains stubbornly stuck here with us at the channel entrance."

Staying too long in the Space Channel is not a good idea. Conversely, if spatial overlapping occurs again, they surely face doom. Alternatively, other unexpected accidents also escalate survival risks. Even without external factors, when the food and water aboard deplete, they face even greater risks.

Thus, this place is not suitable for prolonged stay.
