Chapter 90: 090 Waiting for the rabbit by the tree stump

Surrounded by darkness, the fragrance of soil filled her nostrils. Although the soil on Lanyue Star wasn’t as polluted as that on Planet 101, it was definitely not good. Ji You did not wish to experience this again. However—this was the safest method for her at the moment.

Right.

She dug another hole and hid herself in it.

Smelling the ’fragrance’ of the soil and enjoying a rare tranquility, except for the vexing hunger, Ji You felt everything seemed so serenely peaceful.

No death.

No threats.

No four treacherous devils.

Hmm...

What a delight.

Ji You was drowsy.

Suddenly—

The rustling sound...

A head appeared in front of her, staring at Ji You with big eyes meeting small ones.

Ji You: "..."

Those eyes were red and glowing, shining brightly.

Ji You felt goosebumps.

Snake?

Rat?

Star Beast?

"Squeak squeak..."

Huh?

Ji You’s eyes lit up.

After sensing Ji You’s scrutiny, the monster realized the danger and suddenly tried to flee. Ji You was quick and caught it!

"Squeak—"

Ji You grabbed its neck and pinched its mouth shut, bringing it in front of her to see:

Hey~

It really was a rabbit!

Was this what they meant by ’waiting idly for gains’?

Earning 10 points just like that, Ji You was overjoyed.

Suddenly—

A male voice came from above.

"Where’s the rabbit?"

"Where did it go?"

"How strange?"

"I definitely saw it just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, it’s run off again."

Ji You’s mouth twitched.

What a nemesis.

—It’s Yue Qiguang again.

He’s still not dead?

Is he really a scourge that lasts a thousand years?

Ji You held her breath, biting her lips hard. She hunched over, clutching the rabbit tightly, preventing it from making the slightest noise.

The voices above gradually receded.

Just when Ji You thought she was finally safe, a commotion of a fight suddenly erupted from above.

Crack—

Snap—

Thud thud—

Ji You’s scalp tingled instantly.

Driven to desperation, Lance was cornered, with Shen Changqing relentlessly pursuing him. Lance ran wildly, clueless about which direction to flee, with no mind or energy to pay attention to his surroundings, just running non-stop.

"Shen Changqing! Can’t you just let me go? Why must you kill me?" Without any teammates left, Lance was like a commander without an army. He believed he posed no more threat to Shen Changqing, but Shen Changqing had no intention of letting him go.

Shen Changqing said coldly, "Everyone’s better off with you dead."

Lance: "You!!!!"

Just as Lance thought it was all over for him, he suddenly saw Yue Qiguang. Without saying anything, he immediately sprang to Yue Qiguang’s side, "Yue Qiguang, join forces with me, let’s kill Shen Changqing together, how about that?"

Yue Qiguang was crouching down looking for rabbits. When Lance sprang over, he subconsciously pulled out his stick, ready to strike, but Lance narrowly dodged it. Shen Changqing was already on the attack.

Yue Qiguang said angrily, "You fight your fight, don’t drag daddy into this!"

Shen Changqing’s eyes flashed as he said, "Yue Qiguang, if you don’t intervene, I guarantee you won’t be involved."

Lance: "Don’t trust Shen Changqing, this insidious scoundrel. Trust him, and you won’t even know how you died."

Yue Qiguang originally wanted to withdraw, but Lance kept pestering him, trying to drag him into the fray. Yue Qiguang suddenly got annoyed, raised his hand, and was about to settle Lance when, at that moment, Shen Changqing’s attack had already reached Lance’s face.

Yue Qiguang suddenly switched directions, striking at Shen Changqing.

Crack—

Shen Changqing killed Lance.

Yue Qiguang severely injured Shen Changqing.

For a moment, the scene froze.

Lance’s eyes were wide open; he died with his eyes unshut and was forcibly dragged away by a robot.

Shen Changqing stepped back: "Yue Qiguang, we agreed you wouldn’t intervene."

Yue Qiguang sneered: "Why wouldn’t I eat the meat that’s been served right to my mouth?"

The battle was imminent, and in a flash of sparks, the two fought several rounds. The mud underfoot, the grass, and the shrubs were all subject to countless impacts...

Ji You listened to the loosening soil above her head, and aside from being terrified, she was absolutely livid!

Yue Qiguang had the guts to fight, but Shen Changqing wasn’t weak either. Even though his combat strength wasn’t on par with Yue Qiguang, he understood tactics, and his every move had a strategy, almost holding his own against Yue Qiguang.

After a standoff, Yue Qiguang knew he had no reinforcements, while Shen Changqing had a whole bunch of helpers behind him. Since he couldn’t resolve the situation immediately, of course he thought of retreating. Yue Qiguang wanted to withdraw, but Shen Changqing kept dragging him on.

If they continued the standoff and Shen Changqing’s reinforcements arrived, Yue Qiguang would definitely be in trouble.

Given that situation, Yue Qiguang became ruthless and launched a fierce attack on Shen Changqing. Shen Changqing, caught off guard, was violently kicked, falling straight into the bushes. Yue Qiguang followed closely, aiming for his vital spot, ready to deliver another blow.

Suddenly, Shen Changqing leaped up and gave Yue Qiguang a vicious kick.

Yue Qiguang watched his Life Value drop rapidly and was nearly furious. He no longer evaded but instead charged at Shen Changqing, embracing him in a chokehold and viciously striking at his vital spots.

Shen Changqing was not to be outdone and lashed out fiercely at Yue Qiguang.

"Drip—"

"Death."

Both men suddenly stopped and looked down at their own health bars.

After a moment,

Yue Qiguang excitedly slapped his thigh: "Hahaha... Shen Changqing, you too have your day! Hahaha... I’m dying of laughter, haha..."

Shen Changqing stared in disbelief at his empty health bar.

No—

Impossible!

And then—

Shen Changqing’s gaze shifted and he saw a piece of wood mysteriously appearing below his abdomen.

The fatal blow had come from this stick.

Who?

The stick moved stealthily, burrowing into the soil.

There was someone in the ground!

Shen Changqing’s pupils dilated abruptly.

Patrolling robots had already rushed over. Silently waiting for the robots to collect his corpse, Shen Changqing uttered not a word, his eyes sweeping over Yue Qiguang’s health bar:

5%

Only 5%.

At this moment, if someone came along, even the weakest F-class, taking advantage of Yue Qiguang’s pride, arrogance, and relaxation, a sudden strike would spell certain death for Yue Qiguang!

"Hahaha..."

"Shen Changqing, you idiot!"

"Moron!"

"Everyone praises you as the most terrifying person on the training ground, but that’s all you’ve got..."

"Hahaha... Dying by daddy’s hand, how does it feel? Good, isn’t it?" Yue Qiguang had killed Shen Changqing and was thoroughly pleased with himself; he was so happy he could almost spin in circles!

This was just too funny.

Truly too funny.

Chances were, Shen Changqing could never have imagined dying in such a pathetic, pitiable way...

The more Yue Qiguang thought about it, the more delighted he became: "Hahaha... I, daddy, am truly the top rookie!"

"Who else?"

"Who else?"

"Who else dares to defy me?"

Facing Yue Qiguang’s provocation and smugness, Shen Changqing’s emotions remained unchanged. His own reinforcements would take at least 2 minutes to arrive; to kill Yue Qiguang, the plan for now—

Shen Changqing focused intently on the soil.

—Will this person make a move?
