A white giant bear appeared before Bai Ye. It looked no different from an ordinary polar bear, except for three icicles beneath its chin, forming an inverted "mountain" shape, resembling a beard.
A Frost Bear!
This was a relatively common spirit beast in the glaciers, standing nearly three meters tall, known for its incredibly violent temper. Bai Ye now felt that it might be more than just violent; it might be ferocious.
Because there was blood!
The Frost Bear before him was clearly injured. Its white fur was stained red with blood. Pain should have driven the Frost Bear into a frenzy.
As expected, the moment the Frost Bear saw Bai Ye, it suddenly charged, hurtling towards him.
Bai Ye didn't dodge. As the Frost Bear approached, he directly placed his hand on its head, pushing it down, and then…
With a resounding crash!
They collided head-on, producing a dull thud.
Bai Ye took the impact of the Frost Bear head-on without yielding. He then forcefully grabbed one of its arms, and next…
Pfft!
The Dragon Claw technique was unleashed. Bai Ye gripped hard, leaving five bloody wounds on the Frost Bear.
The Frost Bear roared, then retreated continuously. It suddenly opened its maw and spewed out a large cloud of frost and snow.
The frost and snow surged forward, freezing the surrounding walls, floor, and ceiling as it passed. However, Bai Ye quickly dodged, moving laterally to evade the area covered by the frost and snow.
Generally speaking, wild spirit beasts were undoubtedly weaker than those with masters. Not only were they less developed from lack of cultivation, but they also lacked discipline in combat due to the absence of command.
For instance, the Frost Bear was now simply spitting frost and snow haphazardly. Wherever Bai Ye dodged, it attacked, with no foresight, how could it possibly hit Bai Ye?
In an instant, Bai Ye was in front of the Frost Bear and then pushed off with his legs!
Bang!
Bai Ye intentionally rammed into the Frost Bear, then used a back-strike with his Dragon Claw, forcefully sending the Frost Bear flying backward.
With a loud thud, the Frost Bear was propelled back over two meters, landing heavily on the ground.
Bai Ye crouched, intending to launch a follow-up attack while the Frost Bear was down, but just then…
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang…
A metallic clanging sound echoed from above Bai Ye's head.
Bai Ye's attention was drawn upwards, and he looked towards the ceiling. Then…
With another clang, a metal plate fell from above the Frost Bear. Immediately after, a black, chitinous, columnar tail emerged from the ceiling, segment by segment, like a spine, with a very sharp and pointed stinger at the end.
Pfft!
The stinger at the tail's tip pierced directly into the Frost Bear's throat. The Frost Bear's massive body was then yanked upwards and dragged directly into the ceiling.
Violent shaking sounds ensued, and large amounts of blood gushed from within the ceiling. One could even hear distinct chewing sounds.
Bai Ye cursed under his breath and began to retreat.
An Alien had arrived!
Bai Ye quickly retreated from the corridor. After turning a corner, he started heading in another direction, but…
Clang, clang, clang…
From above the ceiling, the metallic clanging sound echoed again, clearly indicating that the Alien was pursuing him.
"Ning Shuang, Sword Control!"
Bai Ye commanded decisively, and then the Ning Shuang Sword transformed into a beam of sword light, soaring upwards and shattering a section of the ceiling.
Bai Ye took out a grenade, threw it forcefully into the ceiling, and then sprinted forward, leaping to create distance.
Rumble!
The sound of an explosion followed closely.
A large section of the ceiling exploded, with bursts of flames erupting continuously, filling the corridor with black smoke.
Bai Ye sat up from the ground and looked at the dispersing flames ahead. Suddenly…
The spinal tail appeared, piercing directly through the flames and lunging towards Bai Ye.
Clang!
Bai Ye quickly swung his Serpent Tail Maru, its blade striking the Alien's tail and deflecting it aside.
With a boom, the wall instantly burst open, creating a hole.
From the flames, a monster emerged.
It had an almost humanoid body, covered in insectoid chitin. Its hands and feet were equipped with sharp claws. It had an oval-shaped head, its eyes almost fused with the carapace, making them difficult to see. However, it possessed a gaping maw, revealing rows of fine teeth when opened. As for the terrifying tail, it was self-evident.
This creature was the antithesis of the Predator.
Predators possessed high intelligence. While their physical prowess was not weak, they relied more on technological weapons, combat experience, and strategies for hunting.
Aliens, on the other hand, possessed almost no intelligence, relying primarily on their killing instincts and formidable physicality for combat. They were known as perfect combat organisms, with virtually no flaws in their physical design from a combat perspective.
However, even though the Alien's body was resilient, the explosion had been effective. The carapace on the Alien's body bore several noticeable cracks and burn marks, but unfortunately, no fatal wounds.
Concurrently…
After emerging from the flames, the Alien suddenly accelerated and charged towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye quickly executed a鲤鱼打挺 (carp jump) to get back on his feet and swung his blade forward.
As it charged, the Alien's tail lashed out first, aiming directly for Bai Ye's face.
Clang!
The Serpent Tail Maru struck the tail, slicing it aside, and then…
Bang!
Facing the charging Alien, Bai Ye directly met its charge head-on.
The immense force struck him, causing Bai Ye to grit his teeth. The creature's strength was far greater than the Predator's!
Bai Ye's body was continuously pushed backward.
Suddenly, the Alien opened its maw towards Bai Ye. Just as Bai Ye expected it to bite him, a stinger-like tongue shot out from its throat.
Bai Ye felt a sharp pain on his cheek. The stinger-like tongue grazed his face, creating a wound before embedding itself in the wall behind him, piercing it with ease.
Failing to hit its target, the Alien became even more agitated. It headbutted Bai Ye, lifting his body.
With a clang!
Bai Ye's back slammed against the ceiling with a loud thud, causing metal plates to fall. The Alien then slammed Bai Ye onto the ground, opening its blood-soaked maw.
This time, it truly intended to bite Bai Ye to death. However, Bai Ye was prepared. As the Alien's maw descended, Bai Ye directly threw a burning talisman into its mouth.
"Fire Curse!"
