Bai Ye quickly left the room and found many people gathered at the entrance outside.
Bai Ye casually pushed through the crowd, parting them.
While the target of the Ice Pillar Divine Thunder Gaeas might not exclusively be from the Beast Taming World, it was not impossible for people from other worlds to be interested in such a powerful beast. However, at least sixty to seventy percent of those who came to the glacier were chosen ones from the Beast Taming World. This was because taming beasts was their forte, and they would naturally be more interested in beast taming.
Therefore, without their beasts, the physical bodies of these beast tamers were no match for Bai Ye. He simply pushed them aside.
After pushing through the crowd, Bai Ye saw Jin Sha and asked, "What happened?"
Jin Sha replied, "Someone died."
Bai Ye looked up and saw a woman lying in the snow, her back stained crimson.
Jin Sha said, "She probably wanted to come out for a smoke, but shortly after leaving, a scream rang out."
Bai Ye nodded, approached the body, and crouched down to examine it. He couldn't help but frown.
There was only one fatal wound. Someone had used an extremely sharp and keen weapon to pierce the woman's body from behind. Beside her, there was a slim lady's cigarette, so, as Jin Sha had said, she likely came out for a smoke and was ambushed.
However, this wasn't right!
This was a vast snowfield with no cover. It was impossible for someone to approach without caution and be foolish enough to be ambushed from behind. Even with a significant power disparity, they should at least have faced their attacker, been hit in the chest, and fallen backward, not fallen forward after being struck in the back.
Bai Ye's gaze slowly shifted to the side, and he saw footprints.
The footprints were similar to those of humans, but strangely, at the front of the toes, there were hooked imprints, like those of a beast's claws. However, a beast's claws shouldn't be this short.
Still, Bai Ye now understood what had happened.
Looking at the direction of the footprints, they led around the side to the back of the monitoring station.
Bai Ye immediately stood up, walked back to the main entrance of the monitoring station, reached out to pull Jin Sha, and gestured with his eyes for her to follow him.
Jin Sha looked bewildered. After being pulled about ten meters by Bai Ye, she couldn't help but ask, "Hey, hey, Bai Ye, stop for a moment. What's going on?"
Bai Ye released Jin Sha, took out his cigarette case from his pocket, and lit one.
Exhaling smoke, Bai Ye said, "I'm not someone who likes to meddle in other people's affairs, but for the sake of that cup of hot cocoa, I'm willing to save your life."
Jin Sha asked, confused, "Save my life?"
Bai Ye nodded towards the main entrance of the monitoring station and said, "All those people will die."
Jin Sha's expression also turned serious. "Can you explain what happened?"
Bai Ye replied, "You can think of it as a monster appearing in the monitoring station, and that monster will kill everyone here."
Jin Sha said, "If that's the case, we should tell others."
Bai Ye spread his hands. "I have no way to prove the existence of that guy, so how can I make them believe me? Just because there's a corpse? When I was pulling you away, didn't you hear what the people around were discussing? They were speculating that someone among them killed that woman. A group of people gathered temporarily, do you expect them to trust each other? No, their first reaction will be to suspect those around them."
Actually, what Bai Ye most wanted to say was, what did the lives of others have to do with him?
Bai Ye wasn't someone who liked to meddle in other people's affairs. However, Jin Sha was very enthusiastic, and the information she provided had indeed helped Bai Ye. Therefore, Bai Ye intended to take Jin Sha away from here as a favor. But the keyword was "favor." If Jin Sha insisted on meddling, Bai Ye would definitely escape on his own. With Jin Sha's personality, it was clear she hadn't experienced the harsh baptism of the world battlefield yet.
In this damn place, it was good enough to just look after oneself!
And at this moment...
Jin Sha's gaze inadvertently swept across the snow behind Bai Ye. She suddenly froze, then shouted, "There are footprints behind you!"
With almost no hesitation, Bai Ye lifted his clothes, drew his Zanpakuto, and swept it backward.
Clang!
A crisp clashing sound rang out.
In front of Bai Ye, a faint human-like silhouette appeared.
"Invisibility cloak!" Bai Ye gritted his teeth and said forcefully, "It really is a Predator!"
In terms of strength, Bai Ye was on par with the Predator in front of him, even slightly stronger.
However, although the Predator's body was powerful and they were proficient in many combat techniques, they didn't rely solely on their bodies; they also relied on...
Technology!
Bang!
A dull sound occurred. Bai Ye felt a pain in his rib area, and his body tilted slightly, revealing a grimacing expression.
Bai Ye knew he had been hit by a knee strike under his ribs, but there was nothing he could do. The opponent was wearing an invisibility cloak, so Bai Ye couldn't see the knee strike.
"What's going on!"
At this moment, two men seemed to have heard the commotion and walked towards Bai Ye and Jin Sha, asking loudly. xxs1
And at this very moment...
Bai Ye suddenly felt the pressure on his Zanpakuto loosen. The Predator had withdrawn its weapon!
"Run, run..." Bai Ye shouted at the two approaching men, "Run quickly!"
The two men were confused, and then...
Puff, puff!
The sound of tearing flesh suddenly rang out. Openings appeared on the throats of the two men, and large amounts of blood sprayed out, dyeing the white snow red.
The two men didn't even understand what had happened before they met their demise.
Bai Ye spat on the ground and cursed, then decisively pulled Jin Sha and ran.
If the Predator dared to engage in a frontal battle, unless it was a very strong individual, Bai Ye was confident he could defeat them. But that was on the premise that they were willing to fight him head-on.
Predators were mostly assassin-type beings because Predators had three standard equipment: wrist blades, shoulder cannons, and invisibility cloaks!
The function of the invisibility cloak, as the name suggests, was easy to understand. At the same time, precisely because of the invisibility cloak, unless absolutely necessary and their invisibility was broken, Predators would choose to fight as assassins.
This was also the most troublesome aspect of dealing with Predators: how to cope with their sudden appearances and disappearances. As long as this point was resolved, most of the other technological weapons in the hands of Predators could be dealt with through sheer strength.
Bai Ye thought as he pulled Jin Sha and ran to the back of the monitoring station. Then, Bai Ye suddenly stopped, his gaze falling on several snowmobiles.
