Chapter 1158: Lured Away
Dr. Luo disagreed with Principal Hong’s approach, but she wouldn’t undermine him at such a critical moment. Therefore, she voiced her concern. When Principal Hong didn’t adopt her suggestion, she said, "Old Hong, to prevent any unforeseen incidents, let’s prepare for the rescue right away."
This Level 10 Cobra had actually surpassed the expectations of Principal Hong and Dr. Luo. The intelligence they had received and the information they had gathered themselves all indicated it was merely a Level 9 Star Beast.
But!
It had become Level 10.
This was already outside of the plans; they shouldn’t rigidly follow the original plan. Dr. Luo said, "The test is important, but the children’s lives are more important to me. I won’t accept, nor allow, anyone to have an accident here."
After speaking, Dr. Luo placed down a Space Button, then began taking out various emergency rescue medical pods, medical supplies, and medicines from it...
Principal Hong didn’t stop her and instead squinted his eyes, concealing his spiritual power even more discreetly.
The Cobra, originally a highly aggressive animal, had, over generations of reproduction and the cosmic transformations, mutated into a highly dangerous Star Beast. Its aggression was even stronger, and it became even more combative. Once it discovered an enemy on par with or stronger than itself, it would relentlessly pursue the opponent.
So——
Both Principal Hong and Dr. Luo concealed their spiritual power.
On the other side.
Shen Changqing’s elegant face was a bit pale. He forced himself to endure the discomfort and said to his teammates, "The Cobra is very combative. It’s a Star Beast that is highly skilled in attacking with spiritual power. Their perception of spiritual fluctuations is extremely sensitive. Everyone, try to conceal your spiritual power and don’t provoke it."
Provoke a Level 10 Star Beast?
Do you have a death wish?
Everyone’s faces changed after hearing Shen Changqing’s words, and they hurried to conceal their spiritual power. However, for those like Chu Jiaojiao and Shen Changqing, who were responsible for piloting the Mecha, they needed spiritual power to support them to withstand such massive loads. Hiding their spiritual power was obviously difficult for Chu Jiaojiao and Shen Changqing.
Under the control of Chu Jiaojiao and Shen Changqing, the spaceship was escaping rapidly. Not a second nor millisecond could be delayed. While operating, they couldn’t hide their spiritual power at all; a moment’s distraction could endanger the spaceship and everyone on it.
They actively asked for help from Principal Hong and Dr. Luo, but there was no response. It was clear that Yue Qiguang was a bit lost and didn’t know what to do. He then turned to Ji You and Sheng Qingyan and others.
At this time, Ji You’s Six Spiritual Threads had already hidden somewhere in the Spirit Space. Ji You looked around but couldn’t find any trace of the Spiritual Threads yet could still feel their presence...
These cowards, really good at hiding.
But through the behavior of the Spiritual Threads, Ji You understood that what everyone was facing now was truly life-threatening.
Ji You threw down the pen, stood up, and said to Yue Qiguang: "Among the 10 of us, apart from Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, Liu Fufeng, and Spicy Eye, the others don’t need to hide their Spiritual Aura."
"Huh?" Lou was puzzled and asked, "Why?"
"....." Lance opened his mouth and said, "Do you even need to ask? It’s because our spiritual power is too weak, the Cobra wouldn’t bother with it."
Lou: "....."
Lou twitched his mouth, then turned to Ji You, realizing that Ji You’s expression evidently meant the same thing. He felt a bit helpless at the moment and said, "So we’ll each do our own duties?"
Ji You didn’t answer but looked towards Yue Qiguang.
Yue Qiguang was the Captain.
Yue Qiguang clenched his fists and said, "Listen to No. 4444."
Lou, Lance, Yu Song, and Chu Jiaojiao immediately felt relieved, especially Chu Jiaojiao, who released her spiritual power to the extreme. Maybe because of bearing great pressure, Chu Jiaojiao’s spiritual power exploded, and she temporarily broke through, reaching A-Level in an instant. Under her spiritual control, the speed of the spaceship rose again...
Whoosh——
The Cobra was stunned, it didn’t expect its prey to suddenly fly away. So, it got slightly angry, swung its tail, and chased again.
But!
It carefully sensed that the previously equal spiritual fluctuations on the spaceship had disappeared. Really disappeared? Or just hidden?
The Level 10 Star Beast didn’t know nothing; it had learned to think and its intelligence was quite good. Just as the Cobra was about to catch up with the spaceship, suddenly, the spiritual fluctuations that greatly interested the Cobra reappeared, but it wasn’t in the direction of the spaceship, it was elsewhere.
The Cobra’s head shot up:
How did this little bug get over there?
It was a bit puzzled but didn’t hesitate. It suddenly changed directions and sped off that way——
The Cobra chased the spiritual fluctuations and soon disappeared into the horizon.
But!
The crisis wasn’t over, it could return at any time. Chu Jiaojiao gritted her teeth, holding on as the sweat dropped heavily from her forehead. At this time, Yue Qiguang had already temporarily transferred his command to Ji You. He was ready to substitute for Shen Changqing, preparing to switch work with Chu Jiaojiao at any time.
Soon.
Chu Jiaojiao was unable to support anymore, and Yue Qiguang immediately filled in.
The temporary change of primary pilot didn’t affect the rapidly moving spaceship at all.
Along the way, the spaceship didn’t pause, didn’t take a single breath, and finally, thoroughly shook off the Level 10 Cobra.
...
Dr. Luo looked at Principal Hong and said, "When did you throw out the bait? How did I not notice?"
Principal Hong laughed, "You researchers should just focus on your research, no need to be curious about these things."
Dr. Luo said mysteriously, "But you were under my nose the whole time. How could I not notice? No, wait! You went to the restroom once. Was it then?"
"Boring." Principal Hong shrugged and said, "Being with you researchers is boring. You feel the need to dig to the root of everything. See, I try to be mysterious, but can’t pull it off."
Dr. Luo smiled, "So, it was when you were in the restroom."
Principal Hong waved his hand and said, "After washing my hands, I tossed the hand towel out." This hand towel was not ordinary, but laced with Principal Hong’s Spiritual Aura. Once the release device was activated, it naturally attracted the Cobra away.
Dr. Luo said in a deep voice, "Sometimes, no matter how powerful a Star Beast is, it can’t compare to humans. Human intelligence trumps them." See—a Level 10 Star Beast was led away with just a little trick.
How could such Star Beasts keep causing continuous trouble for humans, even threatening human extinction?
