Bang, bang, bang…
The Alien Queen continued to charge, smashing the stone walls in her path to pieces.
“Screw you!”
Once all the earth walls were broken, Bai Ye hurled the remaining grenades and smoke bombs.
Whether they were useful or not, he’d toss them first. As for the flashbangs…
Those couldn't be thrown carelessly; they were useful for their own side too. He didn’t want to accidentally kill himself!
Boom, boom!
The grenades exploded, fire erupted, and smoke began to billow, creating a chaotic scene.
Bai Ye, grabbing Jin Sha, fled again, running as far as they could. But the Alien Queen, feeling invincible and lonely, paid no mind. She shook off the explosions, emerged from the smoke, and resumed her pursuit of Bai Ye and Jin Sha.
“Regigigas, Ice Beam…” Bai Ye glanced behind him and cursed, “Where are you, come out now!”
Bai Ye was now certain the warrior’s deduction was correct; this creature had to be dealt with by Regigigas, otherwise, it was a dead end.
Therefore, Bai Ye reasoned, the key was “escape.” Either they had to run a certain distance during the chase, or there was a specific area, or perhaps they just had to survive for a certain amount of time while being pursued!
But whether Regigigas had arrived, Bai Ye didn't know. However, the Alien Queen had!
As Bai Ye called out, the Alien Queen caught up behind them and then forcefully headbutted forward.
In that instant, Bai Ye felt like he'd been hit by a truck.
What does it feel like to be hit by a truck?
Like flying!
Bai Ye went airborne, tumbling several times in mid-air before crashing hard onto the ground.
Pfft!
Upon landing, Bai Ye spat out a mouthful of blood from the side of his head, his entire body in agony.
“Damn it, am I going to be reborn again?”
Countless powerful beings have been reborn, and more than nine out of ten were hit by trucks!
Though it wasn’t a truck this time, Bai Ye felt no different from being hit by one.
On the other side, Jin Sha sat slumped on the ground, and the Alien Queen lowered her head.
Bai Ye could clearly see the fear on Jin Sha’s face, and then…
Roar!
The Alien Queen opened her massive maw, intending to bite down on Jin Sha. But at that moment…
The gray sky was suddenly illuminated, and then, a silver-white beam of light struck the Alien Queen from the side.
Both Bai Ye and Jin Sha froze.
Freeze Beam!
Bai Ye had seen Jin Sha’s Alolan Ninetales use this move, and Jin Sha was naturally more familiar with it.
However, although it was a Freeze Beam, both of them felt that this beam was entirely different from the one Alolan Ninetales used. It was simply too thick!
The Freeze Beam was at least half a meter in diameter. Upon hitting the Alien Queen, half of her body immediately froze, covered in a thick layer of ice.
Bai Ye and Jin Sha involuntarily looked in the direction from which the Freeze Beam had originated. They then saw a beast, nearly three meters tall, floating in the air and approaching them!
The beast’s body resembled crystal, its legs were conical, its arms were crystal-shaped pillars just like its body, topped with three crystalline fingers. It had four ice spikes on its back, two on each side, and seven shining yellow pillars on its front, forming a "+" shape, resembling a face.
Bai Ye let out a sigh of relief and looked up.
Regigigas, the Ice God Pillar, had finally arrived!
At the same time…
After a Freeze Beam encased the Alien Queen’s body in ice, Regigigas rapidly moved forward, killing its way to the Alien Queen’s side and unleashing a punch with its arm.
With a bang!
The Alien Queen was sent flying, tumbling on the ground. She continued to roar angrily, attempting to retaliate.
But Regigigas gave the Alien Queen no such opportunity!
The moment the Alien Queen roared, Regigigas thrust its arm into the Alien Queen’s mouth and punched her flying again!
The next moment, Regigigas spread its arms!
Origin Power!
An invisible force seemed to appear around them, and then…
Crack, crack, crack!
The ground beneath them began to shatter, and then pieces of rock floated up, a faint purple glow appearing on their surfaces. Under Regigigas’s control, they began to rain 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 kind of mysterious power, their force terrifying. Each blow smashed through 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 letting out continuous wails as she was repeatedly struck.
A moment later, all the floating stones fell, and the Alien Queen was reduced to a bloody pulp. Her entire carapace was shattered, and thick, foul-smelling blood splattered everywhere!
The Alien Queen was finally dead!
On the other side, Regigigas quietly appeared and then quietly left.
After killing the Alien Queen, Regigigas made no stop, turning and floating further into the snowy plains. Accompanied by the wind and snow, it likely returned to a glacier to slumber until a sufficiently powerful chosen one appeared to claim Regigigas as their own!
The surroundings suddenly fell silent, with only the sound of the wind and snow blowing.
Then…
“You survived the pursuit of the Predators, receiving mission rewards (choose one of three): Super Alloy Flying Dagger x1, Super Alloy Wrist Blade x1, Hard Gold Dagger x1.”
“You survived the pursuit of the Aliens, receiving mission reward: Distress Signal x1.”
As expected, the two forbidden zone missions were completed.
For the reward of Forbidden Zone Mission One, the throwing dagger was not something he could use, and the wrist blade felt unfamiliar. Bai Ye decisively chose the Hard Gold Dagger, and then for the reward of 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, they were chaotic.
In Bai Ye’s memory, the forbidden zone missions for Aliens and Predators were from different factions. The distress signal was an item used to join the human faction.
But now, the Alien Queen was dead, so what was there to call for help from?
What was most peculiar was the distress signal, which was a mission reward received after surviving the Alien Queen’s pursuit.
Bai Ye mused as he looked at the light screen.
Distress Signal (Item) (White): Can be used to send or receive distress signals.
Looking at the information on the light screen, Bai Ye became even more confused.
What is this thing?
From the information alone, he couldn’t figure out what the distress signal was for. However…
Bai Ye was sure of one thing: this thing seemed to be different from the distress signal he remembered, the one used to join the human faction!
That signal 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?
…
