Bai Ye paced forward, stepping over the corpses, and arrived before the glass wall.
Dr. Dai Le's face showed fear. He had never imagined that his mutated crystal person would be so vulnerable.
"Who exactly are you?" Dr. Dai Le looked at Bai Ye and said, "Androids don't have abilities like yours, nor can they be this powerful."
"Hmm, perhaps?" Bai Ye smiled, reached out, and pressed his hand against the glass wall. "That's not important!"
*Boom!*
An explosion occurred.
The moment Bai Ye pressed his hand against the glass wall, a massive ball of fire erupted from his palm.
In the next instant, amidst the explosion, the glass wall cracked with countless fissures and then shattered with a roar.
Bai Ye crushed the glass beneath his feet and walked towards Dr. Dai Le.
Dr. Dai Le retreated continuously until he hit the experimental bench behind him.
This made Dr. Dai Le appear cornered, as if he had lost his escape route. However, a glimmer of light appeared in Dr. Dai Le's eyes at this moment.
He couldn't die yet; he still had hope of survival.
Dr. Dai Le, like a madman, turned and ran towards the back of the experimental bench. He stumbled, almost falling, but didn't stop. He then quickly began manipulating things on the experimental bench.
"This is your own doing," Dr. Dai Le gritted his teeth. "Although it's not finished yet, I'll let you see my greatest masterpiece!"
As Dr. Dai Le operated the experimental bench, a metal plate slid open in front of it, and then a metal platform rose.
On the metal platform was a glass cover, appearing to be some kind of device.
Inside the glass cover, there was a crystal shaped like the character "山" (shān). Brackets surrounded it, but the brackets did not touch the crystal.
The crystal hung in the center, with faint currents flowing around the brackets, forming liquid-like, iridescent light with fireworks-like energy fluctuations.
Bai Ye paused his steps, then raised an eyebrow.
What is this thing?
Then, Bai Ye quickly remembered that he had a Forbidden Zone mission three.
Destroy the crystal energy extraction instrument!
So, this thing was the crystal energy extraction instrument?
Bai Ye curled his lips. That was good. It saved him time and effort, and he could also complete the last Forbidden Zone mission.
At the same time…
Dr. Dai Le had entered a state of frenzy. He took out a syringe gun, pointed it at his neck, and injected a tube of pale blue liquid into his body.
"Maximum output of crystal energy…" Dr. Dai Le gritted his teeth. "I will become the strongest. I will succeed, I will definitely succeed, I absolutely will succeed…"
With the conviction of a last-ditch effort, Dr. Dai Le forcefully pulled down the handbrake on the experimental bench. Immediately, a large area of pale blue light surged out from the crystal energy extraction instrument.
The light seemed to be drawn by something, all heading towards Dr. Dai Le and converging into his body.
Then…
*Crack, crack!*
Crisp cracking sounds continued to emerge, and then, a layer of pale blue crystal appeared on Dr. Dai Le's body surface.
Bai Ye raised an eyebrow. This guy intended to use himself as an experimental subject and directly crystallize?
This was a very dangerous thing.
Although Dr. Dai Le's crystal person experiments were infinitely close to success, infinitely close to success could also be interpreted as not yet successful.
Therefore, the inherent danger was imaginable. Dr. Dai Le's willingness to become an experimental subject was indeed a desperate gamble.
"However…" Bai Ye reached out, and currents flickered 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 other party seventeen or eighteen times over.
However, upon closer thought, he understood. Killing Dr. Dai Le was a Forbidden Zone mission.
Forbidden Zone missions didn't revolve solely around Bai Ye. Normally, a Forbidden Zone would have a large number of people. What would most likely happen when a chosen one reached this point and faced Dr. Dai Le?
Kill Dr. Dai Le?
No, no, no…
It would be a fight to the death!
There was only one Dr. Dai Le. Whoever killed Dr. Dai Le would complete the Forbidden Zone mission. If that were the case, how would the rewards be decided without them fighting each other?
To put it bluntly, Forbidden Zone missions were always incredibly wicked. The longer Dr. Dai Le took to crystallize, the longer the fight might last. Only when Dr. Dai Le completed his crystallization and joined the fray would the situation change.
Therefore, for Bai Ye at this moment, the reason this Forbidden Zone mission was not difficult was because there were no competitors.
Dr. Dai Le stood there, seemingly shouting at Bai Ye: Come and hit me, if you dare!
This was practically a freebie!
*Zzzzt!*
Lost in thought, large currents appeared at Bai Ye's fingertips, constantly flickering.
But at this moment…
A beam of black light suddenly appeared on the ground.
The light split into many fine lines, flowing continuously on the ground, forming magic array patterns.
Bai Ye was not surprised. He had been waiting for Yimi to appear.
Once the magic array patterns appeared, Bai Ye knew that this guy should be arriving.
At the same time, Bai Ye understood why he had been unable to find Yimi's hiding place earlier.
This guy had directly teleported using magic array patterns, so of course Bai Ye couldn't find Yimi before.
"But will you make it in time?"
Bai Ye sneered, pointed his fingertip forward, and a current appeared, like a javelin, heading towards Dr. Dai Le.
At the same time…
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 objective was to protect Dr. Dai Le or to kill Dr. Dai Le like himself.
In any case…
He was faster!
*Thwack!*
Before Dr. Dai Le could even complete his crystallization, the current reached him and then…
The sound of flesh tearing suddenly echoed. The current struck Dr. Dai Le's chest, then pierced through, creating a bloody hole directly in his chest.
A large amount of blood splattered out. Dr. Dai Le's eyes widened instantly, and his body went limp, slowly falling to the ground, finally face-planting onto the floor.
"You have completed Forbidden Zone Mission Two, killing Dr. Dai Le, and received the reward: Crystallization Ability or a random Black-grade Technology Weapon x1."
With Dr. Dai Le's death, Bai Ye had completed Forbidden Zone Mission Two, but…
Yimi remained unfazed. Or rather, Yimi completely ignored Bai Ye killing Dr. Dai Le and instead rushed towards the crystal energy extraction instrument.
Bai Ye's pupils contracted. Was this Yimi's true objective?
He wanted to complete Forbidden Zone Mission Three?
