Bai Ye strode forward, stepping over the corpses and approaching the glass wall.
Dr. Dale's face showed fear. He had never expected his mutated crystal people to be so vulnerable.
"Who exactly are you?" Dr. Dale looked at Bai Ye and said, "Androids don't have abilities like yours, nor could they be so powerful."
"Well, perhaps?" Bai Ye smiled and placed his hand on the glass wall, saying, "That's not important!"
Boom!
An explosion occurred.
The moment Bai Ye placed his hand on the glass wall, a huge ball of fire erupted from his palm.
In the next instant, amidst the sound of the explosion, the glass wall cracked into countless fissures and then shattered.
Bai Ye crushed the glass beneath his feet and walked towards Dr. Dale.
Dr. Dale retreated continuously until he bumped into the experimental bench behind him.
This made Dr. Dale seem cornered, as if he had no escape, yet a glimmer of hope appeared in Dr. Dale's eyes at this moment.
He couldn't die yet, he still had hope of survival.
Dr. Dale turned and ran towards the back of the experimental bench like a madman. He stumbled, almost falling, but showed no intention of stopping. He then quickly began fiddling with the experimental bench.
"This is your own doing," Dr. Dale gritted his teeth. "Although it's not finished yet, I'll let you see my masterpiece!"
As Dr. Dale manipulated the experimental bench, a metal plate slid open in front of it, and then a metal platform rose.
There was a glass cover on the metal platform, appearing to be some kind of device.
Inside the glass cover, there was a "mountain" shaped crystal. Brackets surrounded it, but they did not touch the crystal.
The crystal hung in the center, with weak currents flowing around the brackets. Along with some energy fluctuations resembling fireworks, it formed a flowing, iridescent liquid.
Bai Ye paused, then raised an eyebrow.
What is this thing?
Then, Bai Ye quickly remembered that there was also Forbidden Zone Mission Three.
Destroy the crystal energy extraction equipment!
So, this thing was the crystal energy extraction equipment?
Bai Ye curled his lips. That was good. It saved him time and effort, and also resolved the final Forbidden Zone mission.
Meanwhile...
Dr. Dale had entered a frenzied state. He took out a syringe gun, aimed it at his neck, and injected a tube of pale blue liquid into his body.
"Maximum output crystal energy..." Dr. Dale gritted his teeth. "I will become the strongest, I will succeed, I will definitely succeed, I will absolutely succeed..."
With the belief of a final gamble, Dr. Dale forcefully pulled down the hand brake on the experimental bench. Immediately, a large amount of pale blue light surged out from the crystal energy extraction equipment.
The light seemed to be drawn by something, all heading towards Dr. Dale and converging into his body.
Then...
Crack, crack!
Crisp sounds emerged continuously, and then, a layer of pale blue crystal appeared on Dr. Dale's body surface.
Bai Ye raised an eyebrow. Was this guy planning to use himself as an experimental subject and directly crystallize himself?
This was a very dangerous thing.
Although Dr. Dale's crystal human experiment was infinitely close to success, "infinitely close to success" could also be interpreted as "not yet successful."
Therefore, the danger involved was imaginable. Dr. Dale willing to be an experimental subject was indeed a desperate move.
"However..." Bai Ye extended his hand, currents surging at his fingertips. "Isn't your preparation time a bit too long?"
With such a long crystallization time, Bai Ye felt he could kill the opponent seventeen or eighteen times over.
But, upon careful consideration, he understood. Killing Dr. Dale was a Forbidden Zone mission.
Forbidden Zone missions weren't just about Bai Ye. Normally, a forbidden zone would have a lot of people. What would most likely happen when a chosen one reached this point and faced Dr. Dale?
Kill Dr. Dale?
No, no, no...
It would be a battle amongst themselves!
There was only one Dr. Dale. Whoever killed Dr. Dale would complete the Forbidden Zone mission. In that case, without fighting each other, how would the ownership of the reward be decided?
Simply put, Forbidden Zone missions were always tricky. The longer Dr. Dale's crystallization took, the longer the battle might last. Only when Dr. Dale completed his crystallization and joined the fight would this situation be broken.
Therefore, the reason this Forbidden Zone mission was not difficult for Bai Ye was that there were no competitors.
Dr. Dale just stood there, seemingly yelling at Bai Ye: Come hit me, if you dare!
This was practically handing it over!
Sizzle!
Lost in thought, large amounts of current appeared at Bai Ye's fingertips, constantly flickering.
But at this moment...
A black glow suddenly appeared on the ground.
The glow split into many fine lines, flowing across the ground and forming magic array patterns.
Bai Ye was not particularly surprised. He had been waiting for Yimi to appear.
Once the magic array patterns appeared, Bai Ye knew this guy should be coming.
At the same time, Bai Ye understood why he hadn't been able to find Yimi's hiding place before.
This guy had teleported directly using magic array patterns, so Bai Ye naturally couldn't find Yimi before.
"But are you in time?"
Bai Ye sneered, pointed a fingertip forward, and a current shot out like a javelin towards Dr. Dale.
Meanwhile...
In the center of the magic array patterns, Yimi and a woman wearing a black magic robe and a star-patterned magic hat appeared simultaneously.
Bai Ye didn't care if their target was to protect Dr. Dale or, like him, to kill Dr. Dale.
Anyway...
He was faster!
Poof!
Before Dr. Dale could complete his crystallization, the current reached him, and then...
The sound of flesh tearing suddenly rang out. The current struck Dr. Dale's chest and pierced through, creating a bloody hole in his chest.
A large amount of blood splashed out. Dr. Dale's eyes widened instantly, his body went limp, and he slowly collapsed to the ground, finally falling headfirst onto the floor.
"You have completed Forbidden Zone Mission Two, defeated Dr. Dale, and received a reward: Crystallization Ability or a random Black-quality Technological Weapon x1."
With Dr. Dale's death, Bai Ye had completed Forbidden Zone Mission Two, but...
Yimi remained unmoved, or rather, Yimi completely ignored Bai Ye killing Dr. Dale and instead rushed towards the crystal energy extraction equipment.
Bai Ye's pupils constricted. Was this Yimi's objective?
Did he want to complete Forbidden Zone Mission Three?
