Restraint

Ren Anran chose a high point on a snow-capped peak near the Spider God's Cave as her landing point.

The northern region has a long snow season, and the mountaintops are treeless with a hard snow cover that does not disappear with the arrival of the snowmelt season.

These snow-capped peaks are frequently swept by howling winds and waves, making it extremely difficult for small spiders to reach them; only some large spiders manage to get here.

From parachuting to killing the three ferocious spider beasts, and then burning their corpses, the entire process took less than ten minutes.

Montess's unexpected discovery allowed Zhang Xuezhou to roughly understand the purpose of the fluorescent spots, and also forced Badun to cooperate in explaining the situation.

"The steel blade attacked Zhou Yueyan. If Zhou Yueyan's skills were lacking, she might have been seriously injured. The risk in this situation is too great!"

At the summit, Li Yingbo listened for a moment, then his gaze swept over everyone before returning to Badun and Naggs.

"Disarming in a place like this is tantamount to waiting to die. Li Yingbo, you're not suggesting we be bound and tied up, are you?" Nags asked.

"If you have a better way to handle this, please speak up," Li Yingbo said. "Otherwise, I personally hope that Mr. Badun will quickly explain everything clearly, and then we will split into two groups and act independently!"

There were some things that Zhang Xuezhou couldn't say aloud, so Li Yingbo spoke on his behalf.

This is similar to the cooperation between Li Yingbo and Wang Haoran on the committee, where one side plays the good cop and the other plays the bad cop.

This trick is very simple and always works.

As the leader of the team, Zhang Xuezhou is not suitable to play the villain, which leads to mutual distrust between him and Badun and others. However, once Li Yingbo takes on the villain role, Badun and others will tend to favor Zhang Xuezhou.

Even when the simple two options were stated, Badun's face darkened slightly.

"Once Lord Badun is controlled, he only needs to use his domain ability among us, and all our genetic weapons will instantly become scrap metal," Li Yingbo said. "Lord Nagus knows that disarming is tantamount to waiting for death. If all of us are disarmed, you should know what fate awaits us!"

"Then you should just restrain old Badun. Someone as incompetent as me can't stir up any trouble at all," Naggs said.

"You are the Ninth Sequence, and you have concealed your abilities," Badun said. "I should be bound, and you should be bound too!"

"Cut!"

Naggs spat. If he had the abilities of Ninth Sequence, he wouldn't be standing here. At this moment, only Badun believed that he belonged to the Ninth Sequence.

"Lord Nagos is skilled in rapid attacks, so disarming and binding his hands shouldn't be a problem," Zhang Xuezhou said.

The dangers of the Spider God's Cave are unknown, and the Sequence Holder are tainted with fluorescence are undoubtedly time bombs. They have no idea what unexpected things might happen when they cooperate with each other.

Montes Badun, covered in fluorescent spots, is undoubtedly an extremely unstable factor.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't make any demands on Badun, but instead turned to Naggus.

"If we encounter danger, you don't need to worry about us, just run for your life," Zhang Xuezhou said. "If we don't encounter danger, coming in with us will help you eliminate the risks you might face!"

"Your words are the most pleasing to the ear!"

Naggs nodded.

Li Yingbo's words were harsh, while Zhang Xuezhou's meaning was the same but much gentler.

More importantly, Zhang Xuezhou had already planned out a way out for Nagos. In terms of his own abilities, Zhang Xuezhou's plan was flawless and even quite thoughtful.

"Old Badun, what are you going to do?"

Naggs handed over the twin swords and allowed Wang Haoran to put a pair of alloy handcuffs on him to prevent his own disorder from causing harm. Then, Naggs turned his head to look at Badun, the most unstable factor.

Badun's performance in killing the ferocious beasts was somewhat lacking, but the damage he caused to the Sequence Holder was extremely significant.

If Badun is taken over, it could even result in an instant wipeout.

"I want to double-check whether Clark, Zhou Xin, and Pasteur have been tainted by the Spider God's evil intentions?"

After pondering for a few seconds, Badun frowned and looked at Zhang Xuezhou.

"No," Zhang Xuezhou shook his head and said, "On our side, only Zhou Rihui's right hand is tainted with evil intent. This evil intent might be related to the individual's displayed strength, or it might be related to the ferocious beast's perception of threat, or it might be related to the way they came into contact with it. You can think about it repeatedly and see how you got tainted!"

Zhang Xuezhou and others categorized it as encountering Curse, while Badun defined it as the evil intentions of the Spider God.

The two sides expressed themselves differently, but there was little difference in their underlying meaning, which meant that the Spider God would cause immense trouble.

Like Incantation Technique, this evil thought may suddenly erupt at some point, causing disastrous consequences.

Badun finally planted the Ruyi Staff he carried on his body into the top of the snow-capped peak, put down a long wooden box he was carrying on his back, and then stretched out his hands.

"I cannot bind items involving metal or iron; please choose nylon ropes instead!"

Reluctantly revealing his weaknesses, Badun also submitted to teamwork.

"They are currently consumed by evil thoughts, while you've only affected half an arm; you're not so easily controlled by those evil thoughts!"

Zhou Rihui also demanded bundled treatment, and was subsequently kicked out by Zhang Xuezhou.

Aside from lacking some Technique Method abilities, Zhou Rihui, Sequence Holder is both resilient and capable of fighting, is Zhang Xuezhou's ideal.

Zhou Rihui's near-perfect strength, which earned Zhang Xuezhou's approval, clearly made him the most important member of the team, forcing everyone to hurry and explore the Spider God's Cave.

Nagos and the others can restrain their fighting power through binding and restraint, but if Zhou Rihui gets trapped, everyone will be helpless.

Conventional methods are simply ineffective against those with powerful physical bodies, and attempting to strike through mental manipulation is far too difficult due to the high barrier of resistance.

Before the Innate Qi Technique is localized and guided into a powerful method of mental attack, Zhou Rihui's strength will be unbeatable, or perhaps only Badun can subdue him. Even Zhang Xuezhou will be like a punching bag, being knocked back and forth.

Badun is currently in dire straits, and the cost of Zhou Rihui's impaired consciousness will be extremely high.

Zhang Xuezhou and his colleagues could only try to break the deadlock as quickly as possible.

After repeatedly spraying the foul-smelling insect repellent perfume, the group quickly adjusted the invisibility cloaks provided by Song Bu'er.

If you want to traverse the spider swarm area below and avoid those moving swarms of spiders that resemble small mountains, this invisibility cloak is one of the few options.

"You only realize how little skill you have when you need it; if we could just fly there, it would save us a lot of trouble!"

Li Yingbo sighed and pulled Grian, who was still filming, over to signal him to keep up with the pace of the group.

Grien's staged photos and fabricated image could garner public support and solidify his position in parliament, but Li Yingbo didn't understand what use Grien, such a burden, was.

Of course, after spending more time together, Li Yingbo also discovered Grean's strengths.

The other party was not talkative and trusted Zhang Xuezhou and others to the point of blind obedience. Moreover, the other party was unusually bold and did not care about the risks at all. Even though there were deadly factors all around, the other party did not flinch at all.

As for following them into the Spider God's Cave, Grean seemed to have no concept of it.

Even after everyone had finished negotiating, the other party was still watching the video files they had recorded.

It wasn't until Li Yingbo pulled him twice that Grian seemed to wake from a dream, quickly tidied himself up, and then followed behind him, running wildly down the mountain towards the underground river.
