Bang, bang, bang...
The Alien Queen continued her rampage, smashing through the stone walls blocking her path.
"Screw you!"
Once all the earthen walls were destroyed, Bai Ye hurled the remaining grenades and smoke bombs.
He didn't care if they were useful, he just threw them first. As for the stun grenades...
They couldn't be thrown carelessly, as they were also useful to allies. He didn't want to accidentally get himself killed!
Boom, boom!
The grenades exploded, showering the surroundings with fire and smoke, creating a chaotic scene.
Bai Ye, dragging Jin Sha, fled again, as far as they could run. But the Alien Queen was so powerful, she was utterly unfazed. Shaking off the explosions, she emerged from the smoke and pursued Bai Ye and Jin Sha.
"Regi-Ace, Ice God Pillar..." Bai Ye glanced behind him and cursed, "Where the hell are you? Come out quickly!"
Bai Ye was now completely certain that the warrior's deduction was correct. This creature had to be dealt with by Regi-Ace, otherwise, it was a dead end.
Therefore, Bai Ye reasoned that the key lay in the word "escape." Perhaps they had to run a certain distance during the pursuit, or there was a designated area, or they had to survive for a specific amount of time while being chased!
But whether Regi-Ace had arrived, Bai Ye didn't know. However, the Alien Queen had!
As Bai Ye shouted, the Alien Queen caught up to them and then forcefully rammed her head forward.
In that instant, Bai Ye felt like he had been hit by a truck.
What does it feel like to be hit by a truck?
Like flying!
Bai Ye was sent flying, tumbling several times in mid-air before crashing heavily to the ground.
Pfft!
Upon landing, Bai Ye coughed up a mouthful of blood from one side of his head, his entire body in agony.
"Damn it, am I about to get myself reborn again?"
Countless reincarnated legends, nine out of ten were hit by a truck!
Though it wasn't a truck this time, Bai Ye felt no different from being hit by one.
On the other side, Jin Sha collapsed on the ground, and the Alien Queen lowered her head.
Bai Ye could clearly see the terror on Jin Sha's face, and then...
Roar!
The Alien Queen opened her massive maw, intending to bite down on Jin Sha. But just then...
The hazy sky was suddenly illuminated, and a silver-white beam of light shot down, striking the Alien Queen from the side.
Both Bai Ye and Jin Sha were stunned.
Freeze Beam!
Bai Ye had seen Jin Sha's Dodrio use this move, and Jin Sha was naturally more familiar with it.
However, despite being a Freeze Beam, they both felt it was entirely different from the one Dodrio used, because it was simply too thick!
The Freeze Beam had a diameter of at least half a meter. Upon hitting the Alien Queen, half of her body immediately froze over, covered in a thick layer of ice.
Bai Ye and Jin Sha instinctively followed the direction from which the Freeze Beam originated. They then saw a beast, about three meters tall, floating in the air, heading towards them!
The beast's body resembled crystal, its legs were cone-shaped, its arms and body were crystal-like pillars, tipped with three crystalline fingers. It had four ice spikes on its back, two on each side, and seven glowing yellow pillars on its front, forming a cross shape, resembling a face.
Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief and raised his head.
Ice God Pillar Regi-Ace, it had finally arrived!
At the same time...
After hitting the Alien Queen with a Freeze Beam and encasing her body in ice, Regi-Ace rapidly approached and, arriving beside the Alien Queen, raised its arm and struck.
With a bang!
The Alien Queen was sent flying, tumbling on the ground, still roaring and attempting to retaliate.
But Regi-Ace gave the Alien Queen no such opportunity!
As the Alien Queen roared, Regi-Ace directly thrust its arm into the Alien Queen's mouth, sending her flying again with another punch!
In the next instant, Regi-Ace opened its arm!
Primal Power!
An invisible force seemed to appear around them, and then...
Crack, crack, crack!
The surrounding ground began to crumble, and pieces of rock floated up, a faint purple glow emanating from their surfaces. Under Regi-Ace's control, they continuously rained down on the Alien Queen.
Bang, bang, bang!
Ordinary stones should have had no effect on the Alien Queen, but these shattered rocks were clearly imbued with some mysterious power, making them terrifyingly potent. Each strike shattered the Alien Queen's carapace.
The Alien Queen constantly tried to get up from the ground but couldn't. She could barely even lift her head, only able to cry out in agony as she was repeatedly pummeled.
After a while, all the stones floating in the air fell, and the Alien Queen was reduced to a bloody pulp. Her entire carapace was shattered, and thick, foul-smelling blood flowed everywhere!
The Alien Queen was finally dead!
On the other side, Regi-Ace quietly appeared and then quietly disappeared.
Having killed the Alien Queen, Regi-Ace did not linger. It turned and drifted back into the depths of the snowfield, accompanied by the wind and snow. It would likely return to some part of the glacier to slumber again until a sufficiently powerful chosen one appeared to take Regi-Ace as their own!
The surroundings suddenly fell silent, with only the sound of the wind and snow blowing.
Then...
"You survived the Predator's pursuit and received your mission reward (choose one of three): Super Alloy Flying Dagger x1, Super Alloy Wrist Blade x1, Hard Gold Dagger x1."
"You survived the Alien's pursuit and received your mission reward: Distress Signal x1."
As expected, the two forbidden zone missions were completed.
For the reward of Forbidden Zone Mission One, the flying dagger was something he wouldn't use, and the wrist blade was something he wasn't used to. Bai Ye decisively chose the Hard Gold Dagger, followed by the reward for Forbidden Zone Mission Two...
Bai Ye suddenly felt something was strange.
This time, the forbidden zone missions were completely different from what he remembered. In fact, it could be said they were completely out of order.
In Bai Ye's memory, the forbidden zone missions for the Aliens and the Predators were divided into different factions. The Distress Signal was an item used to join the human faction.
But now that the Alien Queen was dead, what was there to signal for help about?
What was even stranger was that the Distress Signal was a mission reward for surviving the Alien Queen's pursuit.
Bai Ye pondered as he looked at the light screen.
Distress Signal (Item) (White): Can be used to send a distress signal or to receive distress signals.
Looking at the information on the light screen, Bai Ye became even more confused.
What on earth was this thing?
Judging by the information alone, he couldn't tell what the Distress Signal was used for, but...
Bai Ye could confirm one thing: this item seemed to be different from the Distress Signal he remembered, the one used to join the human faction!
That signal device was a palm-sized rectangular metal block with a small screen in the center. On the back...
Bai Ye discovered that there was also a signature on the back, which read...
Guardians of the Galaxy?
