The warrior took a deep breath and, after a moment of thought, decided to continue speaking.
No matter what, his own life was important, and besides…
The warrior looked down at the equipment he had taken off.
He had intentionally removed his gear to lower Bai Ye's guard. This was partly to reduce the tension of their current standoff and partly to prevent Bai Ye from discovering his subtle actions. Although the gear was off, his communication device was still active.
That's right, the warrior had called for backup!
So, as long as he could stall for a little time, others would arrive.
Therefore, sharing some intelligence wouldn't hurt. After all, if he eventually killed Bai Ye, what would be the point of knowing any intelligence?
"You must have seen the information about this restricted zone, haven't you?" the warrior said. "Right?"
Bai Ye nodded and reiterated, "But I'm not asking about the restricted zone itself. I want to know what happened in this area?"
The warrior replied, "That's what I'm talking about. I think the situation in this area has changed somewhat due to our arrival, but it's not directly related to us. Well, you can understand it this way: suppose this is a story, and the plot has changed because of it."
Bai Ye pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't understand."
The warrior explained, "I don't know if you've noticed this, but the World Battlefield is composed of many different zones, and these zones actually exist within various worlds, or once existed in various different worlds."
Bai Ye interrupted, "I know that."
The warrior nodded. "Kelter, Cat Face, and Scar—to me, they are real people who lived about three hundred years ago. They were very promising young elites at the time, especially Kelter and Scar, who were considered destined to become elite Blood Warriors. But unexpectedly, they didn't even complete their coming-of-age rituals, and this restricted zone is the story of their unfinished coming-of-age rituals..."
"Regarding their coming-of-age rituals and the underground pyramid ruins..." Bai Ye interrupted. "I have a general idea, so you can skip this part."
The warrior shrugged and continued, "Then came our appearance. My companions and I are all Chosen Ones. According to the information in the restricted zone, the Blood Warrior commander dispatched a large number of Blood Warriors back to their homeland to search for Kelter, Cat Face, and Scar, and to confirm if a Xenomorph Queen had been reborn. This is both correct and incorrect."
Bai Ye looked confused. "What do you mean, both correct and incorrect?"
The warrior explained, "The incorrect part is that we are Chosen Ones, unlucky souls forcefully sent into the World Battlefield. How could we possibly be dispatched by the Blood Warrior commander? Moreover, does the Blood Warrior commander have the ability to dispatch Blood Warriors into the World Battlefield?"
Indeed, they could not. The selection for the World Battlefield seemed to have no logic; it was just a random drop of a group of people from various worlds.
In the early days, there were indeed people who wanted to enter the World Battlefield voluntarily, especially those from combat-oriented civilizations that considered themselves powerful. They had researched the matter, but no one had succeeded.
The World Battlefield was not a place one could leave at will, nor was it a place one could enter at will.
Bai Ye asked, "Then, what about the correct part?"
The warrior replied, "We do need to search for traces of Kelter, Cat Face, and Scar, and confirm if a Xenomorph Queen has been reborn. If a Xenomorph Queen has been reborn, we need to kill it. If a Xenomorph Queen has not been reborn, we need to destroy the Xenomorph egg sacs to prevent the hatching of any Queen embryos."
Bai Ye suddenly frowned and pondered, then said, "Your restricted zone mission is different from ours, isn't it?"
The warrior's heart leaped, because Bai Ye had guessed correctly.
Although he was sharing information, the warrior had deliberately avoided certain key points, or rather, he had used ambiguous and misleading statements to share intelligence with Bai Ye. The reason, of course, was that the other Blood Warriors had not yet arrived, and the warrior had to continue stalling for time.
But what the warrior hadn't expected was that Bai Ye had figured it out so quickly.
Of course, the warrior didn't know that Bai Ye wasn't guessing; it was something Bai Ye had experienced in his previous life. He had lacked information and couldn't deduce anything, but after the warrior spoke, Bai Ye had a clearer picture.
It was likely that the restricted zone in this area was originally divided into factions. The warrior and his group of Blood Warriors, as Chosen Ones, naturally became part of the Blood Warrior faction upon their arrival. Their restricted zone missions all belonged to the Blood Warrior's restricted zone missions. This particular restricted zone was probably designed to screen for members of the Human faction, which was why the reward for Restricted Zone Mission Two was a distress beacon.
As for the Xenomorph mission…
Bai Ye was not yet clear about this, but the line of reasoning was this. Perhaps there were even Chosen Ones from the Xenomorph race?
As soon as Bai Ye finished thinking, he felt it was a bit far-fetched. It was possible for there to be Chosen Ones among the Blood Warriors, as they were an intelligent species. Xenomorphs, on the other hand, were closer to a bestial form, and calling them an intelligent species was a bit of a stretch. Despite having their own racial continuity system, it was difficult to form a world.
Bai Ye thought for a moment and said, "So, your mission should be to hunt Xenomorphs and humans, right? Are there also missions related to entering the pyramid ruins, or rewards?"
The warrior nodded helplessly. "Yes, there are missions to hunt Xenomorphs and humans. As for rewards, we need to find an electronic map. This is a structural map of the pyramid obtained by the expedition team by scanning it with instruments from the outside. Based on the life data scans indicated on it, we can determine where the Xenomorph egg sacs are located."
Bai Ye asked, "What are your thoughts on the sudden appearance of Beast Tamers in the glaciers? Hmm, do you know what Beast Tamers are?"
"Of course. I've been in the World Battlefield for a long time and have encountered people from many Beast Taming worlds. In fact, the glacier was not the first zone I arrived in after entering the World Battlefield," the warrior replied. "Those Beast Tamers were just a coincidence."
Bai Ye said, "A coincidence?"
The warrior explained, "This is information I've gathered from some Beast Tamers. The fundamental reason for the massive appearance of Beast Tamers in the glaciers is a Beast Tamer named Regiase. This Beast Tamer is very famous and powerful in a certain Beast Taming world, known as a legendary Beast Tamer, and is called the Ice Pillar."
Bai Ye nodded. "I already know this. The question is, what is the relationship between Regiase, Xenomorphs, and you Blood Warriors?"
