Chapter 1696: Chapter 1696: Return to the Team

Cutting three Spiritual Silk strands, something Ji You had never even heard of before, let alone imagined was possible... She didn’t think she could do it before she picked up the blade.

But—

In that situation back then, she really did it.

Regarding this, even now, when she thinks of the scene of slaying the opponent, Ji You can’t hide her inner excitement.

Ji You said, "Senior, it must hurt when the Spiritual Silk was cut, right?"

He Bi gave Ji You a look that said "obviously" and said, "The pain is secondary, what I worried about was failing."

Worried that even after cutting the Spiritual Silk, the other side would invade his Spirit Core...

Then...

He would be completely doomed.

He Bi pressed his lips together and said, "I carefully felt it, my Spiritual Silk did grow back. There were originally 37.91 million strands, and there’re still that many."

The smile on Ji You’s lips stiffened, and she asked, "How many?"

He Bi replied, "37.91 million."

Ji You: "..."

"..." Ji You couldn’t help but glare at him and said, "Did you forget to add the ’million’ unit?"

He Bi said, "Does it need to be specifically pointed out? Isn’t the default unit ’million’?"

Ji You: "..."

Feeling her heart was not stabbed once or twice, Ji You decided to end this topic for now, so she quickly asked, "So, there are just as many Spiritual Silk strands as before, none are missing?"

He Bi thought it over carefully and nodded, "Indeed, there are that many. None are missing. I clearly felt those three strands were removed, and now, at the position where those three were, three new ones have reappeared, probably grown back during the repair process."

This... this regenerative function of the Spiritual Silk was something Ji You never expected. She mouthed open, looked at He Bi, and at that moment, found herself both amazed and surprised... not quite knowing what to say...

After a moment of silence, Ji You asked, "Does the new Spiritual Silk differ from the old ones? Or are there any other changes?"

He Bi slightly closed his eyes, immersed into the Spiritual World, carefully sensing and found no difference between these three strands compared to the others. If there were to be a difference... these three strands looked—almost indistinguishable.

After He Bi confirmed carefully, he shook his head and said, "No difference, just like my other Spiritual Silk strands."

Upon hearing this, Ji You furrowed her brows.

So, using alien monsters to repair and enhance spiritual power restored Senior He Bi’s Spiritual Silk to its original state without any other changes?

After thinking it over, Ji You smiled and said, "I think this is a good thing, at least we don’t have to worry about any side effects for now."

If it brought significant changes, that would indeed be troublesome.

If it turns you into something neither human nor ghost, that’s truly bad.

He Bi laughed, "I think it’s a good thing too." At least he doesn’t have to worry about possibly turning into a monster or something similar.

Then.

He Bi checked his body data and said, "This monster’s body is certainly highly nourishing. In other areas, the changes aren’t very obvious, but now I really feel like I could eat a whole cow, and my hearing, vision... have become much more sensitive. Go check, once you exit the security check cabin, turn left, walk straight 10 meters, then turn right for 5 meters, and walk straight another 10 meters. Is there an energy box of a cleaning robot there about to run out of energy? The energy reserve seems to be only 15%, and an alert is about to be triggered."

As soon as He Bi finished speaking, Ji You indeed heard an alarm. As the captain, she had control over the X-N3848 number. After the alarm was triggered, Ji You could respond immediately.

After silencing the alarm, Ji You glanced at Senior He Bi and instantly felt very envious, saying, "With your current physical strength, aren’t you just like a humanoid detector?"

He Bi bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed, saying, "No need to be envious, after all, no matter how envious you are, you won’t have it."

Ji You twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Which eye of yours saw me being envious?"

Not only was she envious, but she was also practically envious to the point of jealousy and hatred, alright?

This ability to perceive everything around her using only her body instinct without needing any extra spiritual power was something Ji You really wanted.

She...

She really was envious.

Ji You covered the area around her heart and said, "Senior, if I capture another of those monsters to eat, would it mean I could upgrade to Double S-class?"

She was already Double A. If she could successfully break through to Double S, then Ji You would be the fastest to have her power increase up until now.

In less than two years, rising from a Double E "trash" to Double S... thinking about that result, Ji You felt more and more enthusiastic. Just then, with a ’snap,’ she got smacked on the head, turned around and glared at He Bi in frustration.

He Bi calmly retracted his hand and said, "It’s good to like dreaming, but even dreaming has its timing. The current situation clearly isn’t suitable."

Ji You twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "What dreaming? Maybe I’ll realize it soon?"

He Bi shook his head, "Though I can upgrade a level all of a sudden, it’s because of my usual accumulation. My physical strength was originally at its peak, just needing one opportunity. That monster’s corpse gave me the opportunity, but it’s not the only one..."

"I know, Senior doesn’t have to worry." Ji You put away her playful attitude and returned to a serious demeanor, saying, "Senior, do another security check. If there are no problems, return to the team immediately. We need to find a way out as soon as possible."

Everyone risked their lives coming to this Plane, not for sightseeing.

He Bi seriously said, "I’ll do another check."

Then.

He Bi lay back on the examination table, allowing the detection device to thoroughly check his body.

After confirming that he carried no pathogenic bacteria or other dangers, only then did He Bi get off the examination table. For safety, Ji You also did a check.

Once the security check system lifted the alarm for the both of them, they walked out of the security check cabin.

At this time—

Sheng Qingyan and Yue Qiguang had already truly entered the cubicle. The two piloted the Mecha and circled around the X-N3848 number, without discovering any dangers. However, unfortunately, they also didn’t find the key to leaving the cubicle.

During their exploration of the cubicle, the two collected all the material from the cubicle’s walls, deciding to bring it back for inspection.

It took approximately 30 minutes to complete this brief exploration.

Then.

Sheng Qingyan decided to return to the spaceship. Yue Qiguang was still a bit reluctant, and at that moment, they heard Ji You give a command:

"Spicy Eye, Yue Qiguang, return to the team immediately."
