"It has nothing to do with it," the Warrior said, spreading his hands. "According to the intelligence I've gathered, there are three theories about the Ice God Pillar. The first is that the Ice God Pillar is entirely composed of ice pillars and cones from Antarctica ten thousand years ago, so it has been slumbering in the Antarctic glaciers. The second theory is that in a temple within a desert ruin, Regice, as one of the three guardians, suppresses two extremely destructive terrifying beasts. The third theory is that there is a sacred land for beasts called the World Tree of Origin, and the Ice God Pillar is one of its three guardians."
Bai Ye pondered, "The latter two are unlikely. Where is the desert here? As for the World Tree of Origin, it's not in this area either."
The Warrior's eyes lit up. "Do you know where the World Tree of Origin is?"
Bai Ye curled his lips, realizing he had let slip.
Bai Ye did indeed know the location of the World Tree of Origin, as he had been there in his past life. Furthermore, Bai Ye also knew that it was the pinnacle of beasts, a legendary beast named Mewtwo, possessing the genetic code of all beasts.
However, that was all he knew. After all, Bai Ye hadn't focused on developing himself as a beast tamer to enhance his strength in his past life, so he hadn't delved deeper into it.
But knowing it or not was one thing; Bai Ye had no intention of answering the Warrior, as this was rather precious intelligence.
"Now it's my turn to ask questions," Bai Ye said to the Warrior, "not yours."
The Warrior was tactful enough not to press further and continued, "This is the Antarctic glacier, so it corresponds to the first theory of those beast tamers: the Ice God Pillar slumbers within the glacier. Then, according to my guess, the place where the Ice God Pillar slumbers might not be far from the pyramid ruins!"
Bai Ye asked, "So, the slumbering Ice God Pillar was awakened?"
The Warrior spread his hands. "I think we can go deeper. According to the forbidden zone mission we received, the Xenomorph Queen should not have been born yet, otherwise, this mission wouldn't be divided into two parts: if born, kill the Queen; if not born, destroy the egg chamber and the Queen's embryo. But even if the Xenomorph Queen hasn't been born, her embryo is definitely there, am I right?"
Bai Ye nodded. "Yes, and then?"
"It needs nutrients, of course," the Warrior said. "There are three ways Xenomorphs reproduce: Facehuggers, Queens, and Black Goo. When a Queen is born and fuses with the reproductive genes of a human female, she can give birth directly without needing Facehuggers. But she still needs a large amount of nutrients to grow, especially since the Xenomorph Queen's body is larger than that of ordinary Xenomorphs. Furthermore, reproduction requires a lot of energy, naturally demanding more nutrients. Thus, other Xenomorphs are needed to go out and collect nutrients."
Bai Ye murmured, "It sounds like ants."
"Very accurate," the Warrior said. "Among the three reproductive methods of Xenomorphs, the Queen's reproduction is similar to that of ants. The Xenomorph Queen is equivalent to an ant queen."
Bai Ye asked, "What about the third reproductive method, the Black Goo?"
The Warrior paused, then said, "That's irrelevant to the current situation. The Black Goo cannot exist here."
Just as Bai Ye didn't intend to tell the Warrior about the World Tree of Origin, the Warrior likely knew more about Xenomorphs than Bai Ye. Moreover, it was possible that this information was related to certain areas within the World Battlefield and could be crucial intelligence. Naturally, the Warrior didn't want to share it easily.
Bai Ye said, "So, you think the Xenomorphs leaving the pyramid ruins disturbed the slumbering Ice God Pillar?"
"Yes, but that's not all," the Warrior said. "I think this is an omen and a guidance."
Bai Ye asked doubtfully, "Hmm?"
The Warrior continued, "There are no impossible missions, do you agree with that?"
Bai Ye nodded. "I agree."
The World Battlefield was indeed a cruel place of slaughter, but there was no situation that was absolutely fatal.
For example, chosen ones from various worlds would inevitably have advantages and disadvantages when they first entered the World Battlefield. However, no matter which world they were sent from, there was hope for survival. Neutral areas, for instance, were clearly prepared for chosen ones with less combat ability.
Missions were also like this; there were no impossible missions, or more directly, missions that couldn't be completed would simply not be triggered. Therefore, any mission that appeared must have a way to be completed, it was just a matter of difficulty.
The World Battlefield was a death game. If there were inevitable deaths, it should be called a massacre.
The Warrior went on, "But on the surface, facing the Xenomorph Queen seems like a certain death. In our Predator data, the combat power analysis of a Xenomorph Queen indicates that even the weakest Xenomorph Queen requires a Predator Commander to annihilate, and the number of Xenomorphs commanded by the Queen also needs to be considered. Therefore, I don't believe anyone can currently face and kill a Xenomorph Queen alone. This is an unreasonable mission."
Bai Ye said, "Isn't it possible it's still an embryo? If the Xenomorph Queen completes hatching, of course, she can't be dealt with. But if it's an embryo, it's possible."
The Warrior nodded. "This is indeed a possibility. But in my understanding, if this were the only option, then killing the Xenomorph Queen shouldn't be included as a mission choice. Because things that cannot be done should not be part of a mission. Since it can be part of a mission, there must be a way to complete it."
Bai Ye thought for a moment. "You are right."
Xenomorphs and Predators were manageable, but a Xenomorph Queen was indeed an impossible mission at present.
This was because a Xenomorph Queen was on par with a Predator Commander. Ordinary Predators only had two futuristic weapons: cloaking devices and plasma cannons. The cloaking device was auxiliary, and while the plasma cannon was powerful, it was a low-end item among advanced equipment and had obvious drawbacks, making it not impossible to deal with.
But a Predator Commander...
That was a complete set of futuristic weapon equipment!
Or perhaps...
A more direct analogy would be that a Predator Commander's equipment started at the level of a black capsule toy!
How could one fight that? The World Battlefield had only been open for two months. At this stage, such a level of power was absolutely invincible.
Therefore, by inference, the Xenomorph Queen was also an invincible existence at this stage.
"But..." the Warrior suddenly chuckled, "if the Ice God Pillar were here, it would be different!"
