Chapter 59: A Huge Uproar

Chapter 59: Chapter 59: A Huge Uproar

A male raised a doubt in the group chat: [Is this for real? Didn’t they say the highest-ranked Star Beast on this Deserted Star was only Sixth or Seventh Rank?]

[Yeah, weren’t the Star Beasts wiped out by the interstellar alliance army, then swept again by the Hunting Teams, and even scraped clean several times by other Beastman hunting squads? The newly bred Star Beasts haven’t even grown to a high rank yet, have they?]

There were also voices arguing against the doubts: [I just want to ask, what would the female Gu Weilan gain from lying to everyone about this?]

Liu Ruoxi quickly followed up: [I hope the professors aren’t asleep. At the very least, they should let us return to the Starship.]

Seeing that the males didn’t believe Gu Weilan, Zhuoma immediately stood on the side of the females, blindly following her lead: [If anyone doesn’t believe it, you can go check the lake to the northeast. I believe the female Gu Weilan. I also hope everyone contacts the professors right now.]

Michelle offered a rational analysis: [The female Gu Weilan is a Seventh Rank female. You guys probably didn’t notice her current strength and the strength of her Beast Husbands.

[Her strongest Beast Husband is at the Twelfth Rank. If the enemy wasn’t a Rank Fourteen Star Beast, the female Weilan and her Beast Husbands would have just killed it in passing!]

Jin Taoyao, a twenty-five-year-old Sixth Rank female of the Golden Crow Clan majoring in Pharmacy who hadn’t spoken much, also chimed into the local network group: [I agree with what the female Michelle said.]

Laura sent a voice message directly, scoffing out loud, "Some males are truly short on hair and even shorter on brains. I think the female Weilan wasted her breath reminding you all. She kindly told you to run, and instead of appreciating it, you questioned her. Well, you guys just stay put. I’m taking my Beast Husbands to the Starship."

Gu Weilan didn’t care about the massive waves her message would cause.

Right now, she only wanted Zhan Heng and the others to run faster! She thought to herself that she only had one Awakened Talent Technique for escaping, and it was only suitable for single-person use. For now, she could only rely on Zhan Heng!

Zhan Heng carried Gu Weilan and sprinted at top speed, even though he wasn’t entirely sure if there was truly a Rank Fourteen Star Beast behind them. Lorenzo and Shen Mianzhou didn’t dare to slow down for even half a step. They couldn’t afford to gamble with Gu Weilan’s safety, so they closely guarded Zhan Heng’s sides as they wildly dashed forward. They didn’t know how Gu Weilan had sensed the danger before them, nor did they understand how she could be so certain that it was a Rank Fourteen Star Beast. Yet, they trusted her without hesitation. Their only fear was that if they ran a single step too slow, her safety would be compromised.

In their respective resting quarters on the Starship, the professors also saw the messages in the group chat, but they didn’t believe them at all.

However, one of the botany professors couldn’t help but send a voice message to the group, "I heard that the top-tier prodigies from the Interstellar Alliance’s two great Beast Clans had their accident on the Kh023 Star, right?"

Another mineralogy professor stayed silent for a moment before directly starting a multi-person video call. "I think there shouldn’t be any problems, right? Didn’t we leave three squads of soldiers patrolling not far from us?"

An impatient female professor glared at her colleagues in exasperation and spoke bluntly, "Stop dawdling around. Can’t you just turn on the female Gu Weilan’s visual surveillance feed?"

The local network’s coursework assessment visual surveillance automatically blocked students’ private activities, but field gathering and certain encounters could be synced to the cloud for immediate viewing. The professor immediately opened the visual surveillance feed, just in time to hear the furious, roaring bellow of a High-level Star Beast!

"ROAR— AWOOO—"

It was clear that it was completely enraged. Upon hearing such a massive commotion, all the professors on the Starship instantly realized: This is bad! The female Gu Weilan really encountered a Rank Fourteen Star Beast!

Thank goodness they ran fast! They hadn’t been caught yet! Good heavens! The students need to board the ship immediately! If anything happened to the students, there was no way these professors could shoulder such a massive responsibility!

"We’re doomed! There are still students camped out in the field! What do we do?!"

The female wearing red cat-eye glasses slammed her hand on the table. "Send a local network notification! Use the school’s official channel! Issue a mandatory order that they must return immediately!"

But why was that Rank Fourteen Star Beast roaring with such furious insanity? Gu Weilan had a nagging feeling that this matter might have a little something to do with her...

Three minutes ago.

Gu Weilan shook the crow in her hand; its tongue was already hanging out. "Pomegranate Seed, do you think this little bird is dying? Or is it already dead?" she wondered. "If it’s truly dead, I should just throw it away... right?"

The little kitten in her arms grew anxious. It was unclear whether the kitten sensed that Gu Weilan wanted to throw the crow away or if it felt the crow was about to die, but it urgently reached out its tiny paws.

"Host, he isn’t dying. It’s because the Insect Clan laid eggs inside his body, and the eggs have hatched. They are devouring his internal organs," Pomegranate Seed replied.

Gu Weilan almost flinched and tossed the dying crow away! Her mind couldn’t stop visualizing a swarm of wriggling bugs inside the belly of the crow she was holding!

"Oh my god! Save me, save me, save me! Just imagining it makes me shake uncontrollably!" she screamed internally.

"Host, you can control your Wood Element Devouring Life Talent Skill to see if you can devour the vitality of the insect eggs inside the crow’s stomach," Pomegranate Seed said.

Gu Weilan was speechless. "Wait, excuse me? Use my Wood Beast Rank... to swallow bugs?"

Upon hearing the system’s suggestion, the entire right side of her brain, her body, and even her back went completely numb. No joke!

"If Host devours the vitality of the insect eggs on both the ’cat’ and the ’bird’, Seeding will reward all of Host’s Seventh Rank Beast Ranks with one Awakened Talent Technique! If bought from the mall, every single Talent Skill costs extremely expensive points," Seeding added.

Gu Weilan narrowed her eyes. "Do I really have to save both this cat and this bird? What exactly are they to be this valuable? They don’t seem like ordinary cats and birds!" she pondered.

She immediately asked Zhan Heng to stop. Lorenzo and Shen Mianzhou halted as well.

Holding the little kitten, Gu Weilan decided to start experimenting on it first. She was worried that if she started devouring vitality from the bird, one tiny mistake might cause her to swallow the bird’s life force and make it kick the bucket!

"Why are we stopping?" Zhan Heng asked in confusion.

Gu Weilan waved her hand. She didn’t have time to chatter and explain things to him; she was in a hurry! She had a nagging feeling that if she didn’t sort this out quickly, something terrible would happen.

She directly placed her hand on the little kitten. The kitten’s back rested against her hand, its belly facing up. It flailed its four limbs, trying to get up.

Gu Weilan grabbed the kitten and gave its bottom a few SMACKS. It finally behaved. Placing her hand back onto the kitten’s belly, her entire hand trembled slightly.

She closed her eyes and released her Wood Talent Skill for Devouring Vitality. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead. She devoured a tiny fraction of the kitten’s vitality, which finally allowed her to precisely control the ability to devour the vitality of the bugs and insect eggs in its abdomen.

Immediately following that was the massive, resentful roar that the professors heard through the visual surveillance software hosted on Gu Weilan’s Light Brain on the local network.

Zhan Heng, Lorenzo Snow, and Shen Mianzhou immediately bristled!

Being at such close proximity, they could instantly distinguish the Star Beast’s rank just by hearing it. It truly was far above them!

Zhan Heng’s expression turned solemn, Lorenzo’s demeanor grew incredibly serious, and Shen Mianzhou looked as though he were facing a formidable enemy.
