The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers-Chapter 1036

Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao, along with their injured companions, are able to lie safely inside and chat leisurely mainly because Senior Ye Liqiang led 16 garrison soldiers to form a protective circle around the circular fortress where Ji You and the others are located as they fought.

Rarely can a giant Black Stinger Bee break through the warriors’ defense to harm Ji You and the others.

Additionally, this small circular fortress was originally a safety facility of Bee Head Star 1 Dock, equipped with comprehensive protective measures. For example, the fortress’s protective shield has reached Level 8, capable of withstanding attacks from Level 8 Star Beasts.

Therefore, Ji You and the others are safe for the time being.

However, if the Black Stinging Bee Swarm continues to attack incessantly, the shift from quantitative to qualitative change is only a matter of time.

This fortress’s collapse is just a matter of time.

Ji You clasped her hands behind her back, anxiously watching the battle outside. The combat prowess of Senior Ye Liqiang, Xiao Liu, and the other warriors are very impressive. Despite being at a numerical disadvantage against numerous Black Stinger Bees, their combat techniques are remarkably flexible and varied.

They appear to be fighting solo, but can switch to formations of two, three, four at any moment, splitting and merging fluidly.

Thus, every attack they launch inflicts maximum damage on the Black Stinging Bee Swarm.

The surrounding giant Black Stinger Bees keep decreasing, one, two, three...

But new Black Stinger Bees keep filling in.

Level 4, Level 5, Level 6 – these Intermediate Star Beasts seem unending, as if they will never stop.

Because of the new influx, no warriors led by Senior Ye Liqiang have fallen, and although the Black Stinging Bee Swarm seems to be decreasing, the fact is... they are still at a disadvantage.

Rumbling~

The center of the battlefield continually emits loud roars, blades dancing wildly, sparks flying everywhere.

Senior Ye Liqiang is extremely powerful, his every move precise, hitting vital points. The corpses of Black Stinger Bees fallen under his firepower have piled up like a mountain.

Vivid blue blood flowing all over the ground.

Drip, drip~

Drip, drip~

Drip, drip~

Suddenly, a Black Stinger Bee with gold-edged wings silently flanked Ye Liqiang from behind. Its massive wings folded in abruptly, transforming into sharp feathered spears, aimed at the energy system of Senior Ye Liqiang’s mecha, causing Ji You and the others to hold their breath!

The feathered spear gradually approached, set to pierce in the next second, and Ye Liqiang seemed oblivious, at 1 meter, half a meter... the spear shot up straight, poised to stab down—

Everyone furrowed their brows tightly.

At that crucial moment, the seemingly unaware Senior Ye Liqiang spun around with a swift strike!

Bang!

The Black Stinger Bee’s seemingly indestructible wings were directly severed!

"Beautiful!" Ji You couldn’t help but shout out. As soon as she spoke, she noticed Chu Jiaojiao and the others also cheering with clenched fists:

"Awesome!"

"Strong!"

"Impressive!"

...

But everyone’s brows remained furrowed. Because as soon as the wing-severed Black Stinger Bee fell, a new one equally matched in physical strength and combat power quickly filled its place.

"This isn’t working!"

"What should we do?"

"This is tough!"

Ji You gritted her teeth and said, "Using sheer numbers! It’s despicable! It’s shameless!"

Yue Qiyuan frowned and said, "We have to think of a way to resolve the current predicament."

Chu Jiaojiao clenched her fists tightly and said, "The best strategy now is to find the Bee Queen and eliminate it."

The enemy is using a swarm tactic. Fighting them head-on won’t work; we must catch the leader first, solve the one issuing the orders, and the rest becomes Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals, and without a leader, they will surely fall into disarray quickly.

Ji You asked, "Where is it?"

Chu Jiaojiao said, "The body of the Black Stinger Bee Queen is two to three times larger than the ordinary ones."

Ji You certainly knew this; before setting out, they all researched the habits and characteristics of the Black Stinger Bees.

The problem is—the Black Stinger Bees in front of them are not just two or three times larger, it’s more like a few thousand, tens of thousands of times larger, isn’t it?

Where is the Bee Queen?

This question already slipped from Ji You and the others’ focus as the whole circular fortress resounded with loud bangs, as bees were attacking the fortress!

To the left?

No.

To the right?

No.

Above?

Also no.

Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao exchanged glances, shook their heads, and then, they all focused on the ground!

They saw something constantly pounding the floor, clang~

Clang~

Clang~

Ji You almost choked: "Little Golden Dragon, are you that bored? Stop tapping."

"..." Little Golden Dragon grabbed Ji You’s hair and stomped on her foot simultaneously: "I’m right here!"

Ji You jumped in shock, "I... oh my God! Who... who is tapping?"

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Listening to the rhythm and the faint sound of wings fluttering, Ji You could confirm that it was—

Chu Jiaojiao sarcastically said, "That’s Yue Qiguang’s girlfriend knocking."

Yue Qiguang: "..."

Ji You almost spat out a mouthful of old blood: "So they’re cheating! Actually digging tunnels? It’s too much."

The sound from beneath kept on, seemingly intent on piercing through the ground completely.

Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing couldn’t speak, but still stared with eyes wide open, patiently waiting for Ji You.

Ji You walked a circle around, urgently saying, "We can’t just sit and wait for death."

Whether Senior Ye Liqiang had requested reinforcements wasn’t something they could find out at the time, but letting the Black Stinger Bees underground grow stronger unimpeded was definitely a very bad idea.

"No one here has 100% full combat capability," Chu Jiaojiao said, tightening her brow, "just a bunch of wounded."

Chu Jiaojiao asked, "In such a situation, what should we do?"

The discussion was very brief since the tunnel underneath was still being persistently pounded; Ji You gritted her teeth and said, "First move Shen Changqing and Spicy Eye to the medical cabin, everyone else, stay alert!"

"Protective shield to the max Level 8."

"Energy system prioritizing shield allocation first."

"Jiaojiao, coordinate with me in a moment..."

"Yue Qiyuan, you team up with Unit 2222, you have good synergy."

"Liu Fufeng!"

In the corner, Liu Fufeng straightened immediately upon hearing his name, "Here!"

Ji You said, "Focus on self-preservation."

"..." The light in Liu Fufeng’s eyes that had just reignited suddenly dimmed out.

Ji You squinted and said, "The floor has a Level 8 protective shield, it cannot be breached in a short time. We can no longer just sit here comfortably waiting for protection; we must think of a way to take the initiative."

Even if not outright confronting the Black Stinger Bees, at least attack them from the flank.

The battlefield remained deadlocked.

Senior Ye Liqiang and the warriors continued their relentless offensive, their whole team constantly switching formations. Ji You kept an eye out, waiting for the right moment.

At that moment, the actions of the underground Black Stinger Bees grew louder.

Everyone understood well enough that this Black Stinger Bee digging persistently was steadily nearing the surface—
