A white giant bear appeared before Bai Ye, looking no different from an ordinary polar bear, except for three icicles forming an inverted "mountain" shape below its chin, resembling a beard.
A Tundra Bear!
This was a relatively common beast in the glaciers, nearly three meters tall, with a very violent temper. Bai Ye felt that this one might be more than just violent; it could be ferocious.
Because there was blood!
The Tundra Bear before him was clearly injured, its white fur stained red with blood. Pain would likely drive a Tundra Bear into a frenzy.
As expected, the moment the Tundra Bear saw Bai Ye, it suddenly charged, sprinting towards him.
Bai Ye didn't dodge. As the Tundra Bear approached, he directly placed his hand on its head, pushing it down, and then...
With a loud bang!
The two collided squarely, emitting a dull thud.
Bai Ye's body withstood the Tundra Bear without being at a disadvantage. He then grabbed one of the Tundra Bear's arms, and immediately...
*Pfft!*
Dragon Claw Hand activated. Bai Ye gripped hard, leaving five bloody gashes on the Tundra Bear.
The Tundra Bear roared, then retreated continuously. It suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a large amount of frost and snow.
The frost and snow surged forward. As it passed, the surrounding walls, floor, and ceiling froze over. However, Bai Ye swiftly flashed aside, continuously moving laterally to evade the area covered by the frost and snow.
Generally speaking, wild beasts were definitely weaker than owned beasts. Besides not being cultivated and being inherently weaker, they also lacked proper command, fighting without any strategy.
For instance, the Tundra Bear was just randomly spewing frost and snow. Wherever Bai Ye dodged, it attacked, without any prediction. How could it possibly hit Bai Ye?
In an instant, Bai Ye was in front of the Tundra Bear and then pushed off with his legs!
*Bang!*
Bai Ye charged into the Tundra Bear and used the impact of Dragon Claw Hand to forcefully send the Tundra Bear flying.
With a loud crash, the Tundra Bear was sent flying back more than two meters, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Bai Ye crouched, intending to continue his attack while the Tundra Bear was down, but at that moment...
*Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang...*
The sound of metal striking echoed from above Bai Ye's head.
Bai Ye's attention was drawn, and he couldn't help but look up. Then...
With another *clang*, a metal plate fell from above the Tundra Bear. Immediately, a black, chitin-covered, pillar-like tail suddenly extended from the ceiling, segment by segment like a spine, with a very sharp and pointed stinger at the end.
*Pfft!*
The stinger at the end directly pierced the Tundra Bear's throat. Then, the Tundra Bear's massive body was forcibly pulled up, dragged directly into the ceiling.
A violent shaking sound erupted, and large amounts of blood continuously flowed from within the ceiling. One could even hear clear chewing sounds.
Bai Ye cursed and began to retreat continuously.
The Xenomorph had arrived!
Bai Ye quickly retreated from the corridor, turned the corner, and proceeded in another direction, but...
*Clang, clang, clang...*
From above the ceiling, the sound of metal striking echoed again. Clearly, the Xenomorph was pursuing him.
"Ningshuang, Sword Control!"
Bai Ye decisively shouted, and then the Ningshuang Sword transformed into a beam of sword light, soaring upwards and shattering a piece of the ceiling.
Bai Ye took out a grenade, forcefully threw it onto the ceiling, and then sprinted forward, performing a somersault to create distance.
*Rumble!*
The sound of an explosion followed closely.
A section of the ceiling was directly blown apart, flames erupted in bursts, and the corridor was filled with black smoke.
Bai Ye sat up from the ground, looking at the dispersing flames ahead, and suddenly...
That spinal tail appeared, piercing directly through the flames and heading towards Bai Ye.
*Clang!*
Bai Ye quickly swung the Serpent Tail Maru, its blade striking the Xenomorph's tail and deflecting it aside.
With a *boom*, the wall was instantly blasted open, creating a hole.
From within the flames, a monster emerged.
Its body was close to humanoid, covered in insectoid chitin. Its hands and feet had sharp claws. It had an oval-shaped head, with eyes almost fused into the carapace, making them indistinguishable, but it possessed a gaping maw filled with two rows of fine teeth. As for the terrifying tail, there was no need to elaborate.
This creature was the polar opposite of the Predator.
Predators possessed high intelligence. While their physical capabilities were not weak, they relied more on technological weapons, combat experience, and even strategy for hunting.
Xenomorphs, on the other hand, had almost no intelligence, driven primarily by the instinct to kill. They fought using their terrifying bodies, possessing the title of the perfect combat organism. In terms of combat, the Xenomorph's body had almost no flaws.
However, even though the Xenomorph's body was very tough, the explosion had been effective. Cracks and burn marks were visible on its carapace, but unfortunately, no fatal wounds.
At the same time...
After emerging from the flames, the Xenomorph suddenly accelerated, charging towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye quickly performed a "carp jump," getting up from the ground, and then swung his blade forward.
As it charged, the Xenomorph's tail struck out first, aiming directly for Bai Ye's face.
*Clang!*
The Serpent Tail Maru struck the tail, slicing it open, and then...
*Bang!*
Facing the charging Xenomorph, Bai Ye directly met it head-on with his body.
A tremendous force struck him, and Bai Ye gritted his teeth. This monster's strength was far greater than a Predator's!
Bai Ye's body was continuously pushed backward.
Suddenly, the Xenomorph opened its mouth towards Bai Ye. Just as Bai Ye thought it was going to bite him, a stinger-like tongue shot out from its throat.
Bai Ye felt a stinging pain on his cheek. The stinger-like tongue grazed his cheek, leaving a wound, and then embedded itself in the wall behind him, easily piercing through it.
Failing its attack, the Xenomorph became even more agitated. It lowered its head and rammed Bai Ye's body upwards.
With a *clang*, Bai Ye's back hit the ceiling, emitting a loud noise. Metal plates fell all around. The Xenomorph then slammed Bai Ye onto the ground, opening its gaping maw.
This time, it truly intended to bite Bai Ye to death. However, Bai Ye was prepared. As the Xenomorph's maw descended, Bai Ye directly threw a burning talisman into its mouth.
"Fire Curse!"
