Chapter 1710: A Fateful Entanglement

Chapter 1710: Chapter 1710: A Fateful Entanglement

If the Two-headed Bull understood human culture, it would definitely tug at its hair irritably at this moment and lament in agony: "What a cursed fate!"

What a cursed fate, indeed.

It had run so far, the Space Rift vast and boundless, originally thinking it would never encounter this group of human bugs again, yet unexpectedly...

Cursed fate.

The Two-headed Bull clumsily curled up, constantly feeling quite unfortunate.

It had eked out an existence in its original Universe for 200 years, amidst hardships that it couldn’t count even if it tried.

One day, stepping into the Space Rift, believing that thereafter, the entire world was its playground.

But～

Thinking, thinking, the face on the shrinking head of the Two-headed Bull silently shed tears.

Cough cough...

Not tears, but blood.

"Drip～"

"Drip～"

"Drip～"

Upon hearing this sound, Ji You paused slightly, "Old Niu, are you scared to pee your pants?"

Two-headed Bull: "..."

It’s unfair to bully a bull like this.

Ji You sensed its emotional fluctuation and also noticed the split on the head of the Two-headed Bull, seemingly suffering serious injury.

"Old Niu ah. What happened to you? When I let you go free, didn’t I fix your body?" Ji You frowned.

At the time, they had brought the treatment instrument and carefully repaired the Two-headed Bull’s superficial wounds.

The current pitiful state of the bull clearly indicated that after parting ways, it encountered other setbacks.

After Ji You spoke, Old Yellow Bull opened its mouth: "Moo——"

[It hurts～]

Ji You said: "It hurts, that’s right. If it didn’t hurt, that would be reserved for dead cows."

Old Yellow Bull shivered all over.

Ji You lowered his eyes, asking: "How did you get injured?"

Old Yellow Bull closed its mouth, obviously a bit resistant to talking with Ji You.

Ji You squinted his eyes: "But if you’ve already abandoned your life, pretend I didn’t say anything, you can remain silent."

Chu Jiaojiao rubbed her fist, saying: "This bull isn’t cooperating. How about we slice up a bit of beef, roast and eat it?"

He Bi softly said: "Good idea."

Liu Fufeng unfolded a half-folded paper, saying: "I prefer eating beef hotpot."

Ji You snapped his fingers, "Then half roast, half hotpot."

Even Yue Qiguang and the others in the inspection cabin all said: "Support this eating method."

Old Yellow Bull: "..."

Old Yellow Bull: "Moo!!!"

That sound was as loud as thunder, carrying a hint of anger.

Obviously, Old Yellow Bull was a bit angry.

He Bi immediately perked up his ears, asking: "What did it say just now?"zhenz Chu Jiaojiao

Ji You frowned slightly, saying: "It says it knows nothing, opened its eyes, and just saw us annoying human bugs."

He Bi’s fingertip moved: "Ask it something else."

Ji You nodded, turned around, and squinted his eyes to ask: "Before you slept, what did you do?"

Old Yellow Bull snorted with its nose: "Eat grass."

Ji You was stunned: "Eat grass, where did you find grass to eat?"

In this godforsaken place, not to mention grass, there wasn’t a single living being to be seen, be it animal, plant, or microorganism...

Old Yellow Bull says it found grass to eat! It can’t help but make one suspect it’s still drunk and dreaming.

Old Yellow Bull: "Moo moo——"

It seemed very angry over being doubted by Ji You, opening its mouth and mooing several times.

Ji You finished listening and furrowed his brow.

He Bi asked: "What’s going on?"

Ji You replied: "Old Niu said it was originally chasing a group of food, based on its description, I can quite confidently say that was the little shrimp we encountered. It wanted a tasty morsel, weaving in and out, suddenly its eyes saw a patch of extremely tender green grass. Unable to resist, it started eating. It took a few bites but hadn’t finished eating when suddenly it felt very sleepy, so it closed its eyes to sleep. Waking up, it saw us."

He Bi: "..."

Ji You furrowed his brow, saying: "The whole process approximately like that."

He Bi pondered for a moment: "So, that patch of green grass was bait?"

"Precisely speaking, I believe the little shrimp and the green grass were both bait." Ji You added a sentence and then frowned: "This suggests that encountering the little shrimp was definitely not accidental."

He Bi agreed with this speculation, frowning and saying: "Then, who exactly released this group of little shrimp?"

Ji You asked: "Senior, can you carefully explain your situation when you first encountered the little shrimp?"

He Bi lifted his gaze, looking at the ceiling, said: "They appeared suddenly, without warning. We were supposed to be traveling according to predetermined coordinates. While walking, we suddenly found this group of little shrimp, and we were about to retreat, but they seemed unwilling to let us go, leading us here step by step."

Following.

He Bi carefully explained the situation when encountering the little shrimp to Ji You in detail, then continued: "At the time, there were too many of them, swarming together, we couldn’t escape momentarily. Later, we found there might be a gap behind the little shrimp leading to another Plane, so we resolutely decided to go with the flow and find this Plane."

Regarding this point, He Bi’s tone carried a deep sense of guilt and self-reproach, saying: "I was too impatient at the time, lost the judgment of danger. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be in this predicament."

Raising a hand, Ji You stopped Senior He Bi from falling into guilt, and calmly said: "In this way, the situation grows increasingly complicated. I suddenly feel—" Ji You paused slightly, saying: "The little shrimp, and whatever is behind them, the bait is set to capture prey like Old Yellow Bull. We were actually unexpected intruders."

He Bi was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Ji You said: "Look, the grass Old Yellow Bull ate, and the way it was thrown into the gridded area are entirely different from our own experience. We came from over there —" She raised her hand, pointing to their falling direction, and continued: "We were chased by White Light from that direction, running on our own into the grid space."

He Bi frowned: "In that way, the White Light was deliberately driving us to this position?"

"Not quite." Ji You shook her head, saying: "Perhaps they didn’t expect us to escape White Light’s attack. And we successfully fled to this grid space, White Light suddenly disappeared because of something here, or some function that couldn’t be easily destroyed... Therefore, White Light suddenly halted."

"The issue is somewhat complex." He Bi frowned, pondered a bit, then asked: "Old Niu, approximately when can it recover?"

Ji You hurriedly asked Old Yellow Bull.

Old Yellow Bull’s head shook like a rattle: "Moo~"

[Don’t know, cannot recover now, hurts, hurts, hurts... It’ll take a long time to recover, you all shouldn’t bother me.]

Ji You’s mouth twitched upon hearing, feeling Old Yellow Bull was deceiving herself, it just doesn’t want to work for them.

With a roll of the eyes, Ji You sternly said: "I advise you to recover as soon as possible, as fast as possible, preferably in a second, you think you can lay peacefully and recuperate? Dream on. Soon you’ll become food in someone’s mouth."

Old Yellow Bull actually extended its tail, covering its own ears.

[I don’t~]
