The warrior took a deep breath and after a moment of thought, decided to continue speaking.
No matter what, his own life was important, and besides...
The warrior glanced down at the equipment he had removed.
He had deliberately taken off his gear to lower Bai Ye's guard. This was partly to reduce the tension of their current standoff, and partly to prevent Bai Ye from discovering his small actions. Although the equipment was off, the communication device was still active.
That's right, the warrior had called for backup!
So, as long as he could stall for a bit, others would arrive.
In that case, sharing some intelligence wouldn't be an issue. After all, once Bai Ye was dealt with, what would be the point of whether this information was known or not?
"You must have seen the data on this restricted zone before," the warrior said. "Right?"
Bai Ye nodded, emphasizing again, "But I'm not asking about the restricted zone itself. I want to know what happened in this area?"
The warrior replied, "That's what I'm talking about. I believe the situation in this area has changed due to our arrival, but it's not directly related to us. Well, you can think of it this way: imagine this is a story, and the plot has changed because of this."
Bai Ye pondered for a moment and then shook his head. "I don't understand."
The warrior explained, "I don't know if you've noticed, but the World Battlefield is made up of many different zones, and these zones actually exist within various worlds, or perhaps they once existed in different worlds."
Bai Ye interrupted, "I know that."
The warrior nodded. "Kelts, Cat Face, and Scar were real individuals to me, from about three hundred years ago. They were outstanding young elites at the time, especially Kelts and Scar, who were considered potential elite Predators. But unexpectedly, they didn't even complete their coming-of-age ceremony. And the restricted zone in this area is the story of their three unfinished ceremonies..."
"Regarding their coming-of-age ceremony and the underground pyramid ruins..." Bai Ye interrupted. "I know the general idea, so you can skip this part."
The warrior shrugged and continued, "Then came our appearance. My companions and I are chosen ones. According to the restricted zone data, the Predator commander dispatched a large number of Predators back to their homeland to search for Kelts, Cat Face, and Scar, and to confirm if a Xenomorph Queen had been reborn. This is both correct and incorrect."
Bai Ye asked doubtfully, "What do you mean by both correct and incorrect?"
The warrior explained, "The incorrect part is that we are chosen ones, unfortunate individuals forcibly sent into the World Battlefield. How could we have been dispatched by the Predator commander? Moreover, does the Predator commander have the ability to dispatch Predators into the World Battlefield?"
Indeed, that was not possible. The selection for the World Battlefield seemed to have no logic; it simply threw a group of people from various worlds in randomly.
In the early days, some people had indeed wanted to voluntarily enter the World Battlefield, especially those from combat-oriented civilizations who believed themselves to be powerful. They had researched this matter, but no one had succeeded.
The World Battlefield was not a place one could leave at will, nor was it a place one could enter at will.
Bai Ye asked, "Then, what is the correct part?"
The warrior replied, "We do need to search for the traces of Kelts, Cat Face, and Scar, and confirm if a Xenomorph Queen has been reborn. If a Xenomorph Queen has been born, we need to kill it. If a Xenomorph Queen has not been born, we need to destroy the Xenomorph egg sacs and prevent the hatching of any queen embryos."
Bai Ye suddenly frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "Your restricted zone mission is different from ours, isn't it?"
The warrior's heart leaped, because Bai Ye had guessed correctly.
Although he was sharing intelligence, the warrior had deliberately avoided some key points, or rather, he had deliberately used vague and ambiguous statements to share information with Bai Ye. The reason, of course, was that the other Predators had not yet arrived, and the warrior could only continue to stall for time.
But what the warrior didn't expect was that Bai Ye had guessed it so quickly.
Of course, the warrior didn't know that Bai Ye wasn't guessing; it was because in his past life, Bai Ye had experienced something similar. Normally, lacking information, Bai Ye would have no way to deduce it, but after the warrior spoke, Bai Ye had a rough idea.
It seemed the restricted zone in this area was originally divided into factions. The warrior and his companions, as chosen ones, naturally became part of the Predator faction upon their arrival. Their restricted zone missions all belonged to the Predator restricted zone missions. This particular restricted zone was likely designed to screen for members of the human faction, which was why the reward for Restricted Zone Mission Two was a distress beacon.
As for the Xenomorph mission...
Bai Ye was not yet clear on that, but the line of reasoning was sound. Perhaps there were even chosen ones from the Xenomorph race?
As soon as Bai Ye finished thinking, he felt it was a bit far-fetched. It was possible for there to be chosen ones among the Predators, as they were intelligent beings. Xenomorphs, on the other hand, were closer to a beastly form, and calling them intelligent beings was a bit of a stretch, even though they had their own system of racial continuation. It was difficult to form a world around them.
Bai Ye thought for a moment and said, "So, your mission is to hunt Xenomorphs and humans, right? And are there also missions related to entering the pyramid ruins, or rewards?"
The warrior nodded helplessly. "Yes, there are missions to hunt Xenomorphs and humans. As for rewards, we need to find an electronic map. This is a structural diagram of the pyramid obtained by the scientific expedition team scanning the pyramid ruins from the outside with instruments. Based on the life data scans indicated on it, we can determine where the Xenomorph egg sacs are located."
Bai Ye asked, "Then, what are your thoughts on the Beast Masters that suddenly appeared in the glacier? Hmm, do you know what Beast Masters are?"
"Of course. I've been in the World Battlefield for a long time and have interacted with people from many Beast Master worlds. In fact, the glacier was not the first area I reached after entering the World Battlefield," the warrior said. "Those Beast Masters were just a coincidence."
Bai Ye asked, "A coincidence?"
The warrior explained, "This is intelligence I've gathered from some Beast Masters. The fundamental reason for the large number of Beast Masters appearing in the glacier is a Beast Master named Regias. This Beast Master is very famous and powerful in a certain Beast Master world, known as a legendary Beast Master, and is called the Ice Pillar."
Bai Ye nodded. "I already know this. The question is, what is the relationship between Regias, the Xenomorphs, and you Predators?"
