Bai Ye paced forward, stepping over the corpses, and approached the glass wall.
Dr. Dai Le's face showed fear. He had never expected his mutated crystal man to be so vulnerable.
"Who exactly are you?" Dr. Dai Le looked at Bai Ye. "Androids don't have this kind of ability, nor can they be this strong."
"Hmm, perhaps?" Bai Ye smiled and placed his hand on the glass wall. "That doesn't matter!"
Boom!
An explosion occurred.
The moment Bai Ye placed his hand on the glass wall, a massive fireball erupted from his palm.
In the next instant, amidst the explosion, the glass wall cracked with countless fissures and then shattered.
Bai Ye crushed the glass beneath his feet and walked towards Dr. Dai Le.
Dr. Dai Le retreated incessantly until he hit the experimental bench behind him.
This made Dr. Dai Le seem cornered, as if he had lost his escape route, yet a glint appeared in Dr. Dai Le's eyes at that moment.
He couldn't die yet. He still had hope of surviving.
Dr. Dai Le, like a madman, turned and ran towards the back of the experimental bench. He stumbled and almost fell but showed no intention of stopping. He then quickly fiddled with the experimental bench.
"This is your own doing," Dr. Dai Le gritted his teeth. "Although it's not complete yet, I'll let you see my masterpiece!"
As Dr. Dai Le manipulated the experimental bench, a metal plate moved aside 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 was a 'mountain'-shaped crystal, with supports around it, but the supports did not touch the crystal.
The crystal hung in the center, with weak electric currents flowing around the supports, forming liquid-like shimmering energy fluctuations that resembled fireworks.
Bai Ye paused his steps, then raised an eyebrow.
What is this thing?
Then, Bai Ye quickly remembered that there was a Forbidden Zone Mission three.
Destroy the Crystal Energy Extraction Instrument!
So, this thing was the Crystal Energy Extraction Instrument?
Bai Ye pouted. That was good. It saved him time and effort, and he could resolve the final Forbidden Zone mission as well.
Meanwhile...
Dr. Dai Le fell into a state of frenzy. He took out a needle gun, aimed 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..."
With the conviction of a last resort, Dr. Dai Le forcefully pulled down the hand brake on the experimental bench. Immediately, a large area of pale blue light surged out of the Crystal Energy Extraction Instrument.
The light seemed to be drawn by something, all heading towards Dr. Dai Le, converging and entering his body.
Then...
Crack, crack!
Crisp 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 planned to use himself as an experimental subject and crystallize directly?
This was a very dangerous undertaking.
Although Dr. Dai Le's crystal man experiment was infinitely close to success, infinitely close to success could also mean not yet successful.
Therefore, the inherent danger was imaginable. Dr. Dai Le's willingness to become an experimental subject was indeed a desperate gamble.
"But..." Bai Ye reached out, electric currents surging 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 opponent seventeen or eighteen times over.
However, upon closer thought, he understood. Killing Dr. Dai Le was the 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 was the most likely scenario for a chosen one who fought their way here to face Dr. Dai Le?
Kill Dr. Dai Le?
No, no, no...
It was a battle among themselves!
There was only one Dr. Dai Le. Whoever killed him would complete the Forbidden Zone mission. If so, how could the ownership of the reward be decided without them fighting each other?
Simply put, Forbidden Zone missions were always extremely tricky. The longer Dr. Dai Le took to crystallize, the longer the battle might last. Only when Dr. Dai Le completed his crystallization and joined the fight would this situation be broken.
Therefore, for Bai Ye now, the reason this Forbidden Zone mission was not difficult was that there were simply no competitors.
Dr. Dai Le stood there, as if shouting at Bai Ye: Come and hit me, if you dare!
This was practically giving it away!
Zzzzt!
Lost in thought, large amounts of electric currents appeared at Bai Ye's fingertips, constantly jumping.
But at this moment...
A black glow suddenly appeared on the ground.
The glow split into many thin lines, flowing across the ground, and then formed a magic array pattern.
Bai Ye was not surprised. He had been waiting for Yimi to appear.
After the magic array pattern appeared, Bai Ye knew this guy should be coming.
At the same time, Bai Ye understood why he couldn't find Yimi's hiding place before.
This guy teleported directly using a magic array pattern, so of course Bai Ye couldn't find Yimi earlier.
"But will you be in time?"
Bai Ye sneered, and with a point of his fingertip forward, a current appeared, like a javelin, heading towards Dr. Dai Le.
Meanwhile...
In the center of the magic array pattern, Yimi and a woman wearing a black magic robe and a star-patterned magic hat appeared simultaneously.
Bai Ye didn't care whether their objective was to protect Dr. Dai Le or, like him, to kill Dr. Dai Le.
Regardless...
He was faster!
*Puff!*
Before Dr. Dai Le could complete his crystallization, the current reached him and then...
The sound of tearing flesh suddenly echoed. The current struck Dr. Dai Le's chest and pierced through, creating a bloody hole in his chest.
Large amounts of blood splattered out. Dr. Dai Le's eyes widened instantly, then his body went limp, and he slowly fell to the ground, finally landing headfirst on the floor.
"You have completed Forbidden Zone Mission Two: Defeated Dr. Dai Le. Reward received: Crystallization ability or a random black-quality technological weapon x1."
With Dr. Dai Le's death, Bai Ye completed Forbidden Zone Mission Two, but...
Yimi remained unfazed, or rather, Yimi completely ignored Bai Ye killing Dr. Dai Le and rushed towards the Crystal Energy Extraction Instrument first.
Bai Ye's pupils constricted. This was Yimi's true objective?
He wanted to complete Forbidden Zone Mission Three?
