Chapter 400: Ice Ghost Entering the Spawning Period
When the coup took place on Paradise Island, Yang Le was not idle either. It would be better to say that he was very busy.

When Yang Le was first preparing to return to Paradise Island, he did not choose to become an Amazon because Yang Le as an Amazon did not have the ability to fly. So in order to avoid trouble, Yang Le chose the androgynous Ice Ghost.

Originally, this choice was great. Even those alien heroes with relatively buggy features could still be ranked among the best thanks to the strength of Ice Ghost. After all, intangibility is really super powerful.

However, Yang Le overlooked one point, which turned this good choice into the worst choice. The Nakfugi, a race of ice ghosts, usually lay eggs once every eighty years or so. Yang Le's transformation this time just happened to catch up with the ice ghost's laying period.

When the Ice Ghost enters the egg-laying period, the mind of the Omnitrix wearer will be occupied by the physiological thinking of the Nakfuji people, just like a mother animal in nature, giving birth to the child in her belly at all costs.

Even Yang Le was no exception, so after turning into an ice ghost, Yang Le could only inform Diana before he became demented, and then he could no longer control himself.

The Nakfuji people, like normal creatures, need to eat a lot of food before giving birth to ensure the smooth production of nutrients, but the food they eat is more raw than that of ordinary creatures.

Their staple food is various metals. After entering the egg-laying period, the Nakfuji people's food intake will be much greater than usual. At this time, they need a large amount of metals to supplement their nutrition. There happens to be a place with a large amount of metals near where Yang Le is now, and that is the military base of Bialiya.

...

Inside the Bialia military base, the army that had just besieged Yang Le and Diana had just withdrawn. The commander leading this force couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When he received the order from above to stop Wonder Woman and her companions, he thought he had heard it wrong.

I fought Wonder Woman? Really?
Although he was extremely reluctant, he dared not disobey the orders of the dictatorial president. You know, facing a superhero, even facing Wonder Woman who is known for her decisiveness, he would still have a chance of survival even if he fired a shot. But if he dared to refuse the order, his whole family would surely be shot in the back and commit suicide.

In this society where good people are expected to be pointed at guns, the commander hesitated for only a few seconds before ordering the soldiers to go out. Although there were some twists and turns, it was basically the same as he expected. Wonder Woman and her companions did not cause any harm to them.

Fortunately, no real fighting broke out. If a fight had broken out, ordinary people like them would have been cannon fodder if they rushed forward, unless the big shot in the base took action. Even if they brought out all the tanks, they wouldn't be able to capture Wonder Woman.

While thinking about this, the commander was preparing to report to his superiors. This time, their mission was considered to have been completed brilliantly. He hoped that the leader could give him some rewards, and preferably he could get an official position, so that he wouldn't have to worry here.

Just as the commander was looking forward to a bright future, the tall metal structures of the military base made some strange noises. First, there was a squeaking sound like nails scratching on a blackboard, and then there was a creaking sound like a hydraulic press crushing metal, which gave people goosebumps.

Under the influence of this strange voice, the soldiers had already taken up a fighting stance without even giving any orders. Facing the excellent qualities of his men, the commander could not help but nod and he raised his voice.

"Be prepared for battle, and attack as soon as the enemy cuts open the gate."

Obviously, the commander mistook those sounds as the enemy cutting the metal door. Normally, it would be understandable for him to think so, but the scene he saw next would make him remember it for the rest of his life.

"Squeak!"

A teeth-grinding sound of metal tearing was heard, and a hole roughly the size of a human face appeared. The soldiers inside the base only saw a black mouth with pale blue teeth inside. The soldiers in the front row could even see the metal debris chewed into pieces inside the mouth. "Oh my God."

Some soldiers couldn't help but sigh as the hole, originally the size of a human face, grew larger and larger. Gradually, the soldiers were finally able to see the true face of the culprit.

It was a blue humanoid insect, about the same size as a normal adult, but thinner. However, it was this slender body that was tearing off pieces of metal explosion-proof doors made by modern industry and putting them into its mouth.

"What are you still standing there for! Shoot!" The commander was indeed an extraordinary person. He was the first to react and shouted to his subordinates to launch an attack. This sudden roar was like a bolt from the blue, bringing the soldiers' minds back to their senses.

"Bang bang bang!"

Bullets poured down on the Ice Ghost like a torrential rain. If Yang Le was still conscious, he would have used his invisibility to dodge these bullets even if he was not afraid of them. After all, even if it didn't hurt, so many bullets would have made his body numb and itchy.

Unfortunately, the Ice Ghost who had entered the egg-laying period did not think so. He was hugging the door and gnawing on it, not even looking at the bullets shot at him. However, the Ice Ghost was not a fool, and his wings were the best bulletproof vest.

The wings turned into a cloak and draped over the body, bullets rained down on the ice ghost, the bullets fell to the ground or bounced away, but they could not cause any effect on the ice ghost.

By the time the soldiers had finished firing a whole magazine, the Ice Ghost had finally finished eating the main door. However, this two-person-high metal door was just an appetizer for him, and it was far from enough to fill his stomach.

His predatory instinct made him focus on the soldiers' equipment. The guns and daggers in their hands were the best food.

Spreading its wings again, the Ice Ghost flew towards the soldier closest to it like a real ghost. Facing the monster that could eat gold and iron flying towards them, the soldiers sped up the speed of changing magazines in their hands and started the second round of shooting before the Ice Ghost flew in front of them.

This time, the Ice Ghost did not choose to fight head-on because he did not want to give up his mobility. Instead, he honestly turned on the invisible form and avoided the hail of bullets.

The Ice Ghost's display of power undoubtedly frightened the soldiers. How could they fight an enemy they couldn't even touch? Their minds were immediately thrown into chaos.

The Ice Ghost didn't care about all this. After flying up, it stretched out its sharp claws and cut off the soldier's belt, snatched the gun from his hand, and then swallowed the gun alive in front of the stunned soldier.

It's as smooth as a mouthful of noodles.

When the commander saw this scene, he immediately understood that the enemy in front of them was not someone they could deal with, and he had to let the guy in the base take action.
