If people haven't experienced the deceitful and treacherous international era, they will inevitably believe that communication between people is sincere and reliable, especially as major events approach.

However, those who have had relevant experience are often not the younger generation like Zhang Xuezhou, but the oldest group of people.

Even Zhou Xin turned his suspicious gaze toward Badun.

"Bingo forced his way into the Seventh Sequence, and I pulled him back before his resistance layer was fully stable. He was pierced by a ferocious beast and infected with spider venom. Clark can testify to these things. There's no way he could have survived such injuries. When Nagos and I went there a second time, we saw bones and belongings, which further confirmed his death!"

In the center of the crowd, Badun repeatedly emphasized the importance of the event, even pulling at two witnesses.

Whether Montesbingo is alive or dead is none of anyone else's business, but the accuracy of Badun's information could be risky.

Even if Badun's words are entirely true, it still means that Badun made a mistake, and that mistake could be fatal at some point.

"Bingo is indeed crawling here watching us, and he's even getting closer. If we hadn't left so quickly, we might have run into him. What Badun saw was just the process; he didn't actually see the outcome!"

"I feel something's off. Should I continue forward or back off?"

"Don't back down!"

Nagos was the most anxious of them all.

He gained nothing but trouble. He was afraid of getting into high-risk situations, but he was even more afraid that the Scarlet Alliance State would abandon the deal and leave en masse.

Ren Anran asked a question, and Naggs began to urge Montesbottom Badun.

"Let me think about it, let me think about it carefully!"

Urged on by Naggus, Badun slowly squatted down and continued to reminisce.

Naggs is a being from another world. He had limited contact with others in the past and only met the requirements of the pioneers by sheer luck. Badun, on the other hand, is someone who has truly obtained information from higher dimensions. He is not as good as beings like Hu Yu, but his knowledge far surpasses that of Naggs.

"The Spider Goddess Liao Meng... Could it be that she descended using Bingo's physical body?"

Badun thought for more than ten seconds before muttering something, his face turning pale instantly.

"What do you mean?" Naggs pressed.

"She... that deity may have paid a huge price to infiltrate Qin Meng," Badun said bitterly. "She is a deity from another dimension; she couldn't have fallen from that dimension herself. She most likely used a body-borrowing method to achieve her descent!"

"It's very strong after it arrives?" Nagos asked.

"I think she's no less powerful than the one in the Sinkhole No. 2, but she'd be more agile," Badun said.

"Damn it... I finally climbed to this point, and everyone I meet is so much better than me!"

Naggs cursed.

If Zhang Xuezhou hadn't mentioned that he too was tainted with evil thoughts, Naggus felt he would have wanted to run away right now.

He was once at the pinnacle of power in this world, but the higher Naggs climbed, the more he realized that he was still the same little Kara he used to be.

He seemed to have changed his fate, yet he also seemed to have never changed it.

In the eyes of those in Gaogao, he was still just someone they could easily crush.

"Her purpose in descending is undoubtedly to retrieve the divine artifact, and this descended entity will also possess her abilities. Just like the original body, it will constantly kill and absorb power to become stronger. All powerful individuals are her targets. We must kill her, otherwise we will all become a part of her in the future!"

Badun recounted through gritted teeth.

Nagos looked anxious, occasionally exchanging a few words with Pasteur, while the many Scarlet Alliance State wore solemn expressions, glancing at Zhang Xuezhou and the others from time to time.

Few people could understand Badun's speculation, since no one had ever heard of the Spider God Liao Meng, let alone understood the Descendant.

"How will she absorb the power?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"She will turn powerful beings into cocoons, and once these cocoons mature, she will retract them, thus gaining some of the power of the slain powerful beings," Badun said. "She is not afraid of being injured, and she is a high-dimensional god who grows stronger with each kill, until she reaches the pinnacle of power."

"She can kill her opponent, so she must be stronger than her opponent. Why would she need the power of the weak?" Ren Anran asked.

"She doesn't kill her opponents entirely through her own strength, but rather with the help of spiders derived from divine power. Her individual strength isn't necessarily stronger than the target she kills," Badun said. "Moreover, weaker opponents aren't useless to her; at worst, they can be used as blood packs to heal her injuries!"

"If only the ecliptic were here!"

Zhang Xuezhou took a deep breath of the cold air from the underground river.

He remembered that Huang Daoxian had mentioned this matter when they met in Brampeda, mentioning the Spider God's descent and warning that if the descent was created, no one would be able to play. The other party even caused trouble because of it, which led to Huang Daoxian being hunted down.

"That dog definitely knows a lot of things; he's probably more reliable than this Badun!"

Zhang Hao frowned, realizing he had overlooked the dog Zhang Xuezhou had brought back to Western Capital City.

However, it's impossible to be too demanding of Zhang Hao, since he had conducted various conservative inquiries, and Huang Daoxian had cooperated. There are countless questions in the world, and it's impossible for him to ask about every single one.

"Have I already been categorized as a dog?"

Badun was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses. For a moment, he thought Zhang Hao and the others were cursing, but seeing how seriously they were discussing the situation, he realized he had missed something.

"If she weren't individually exceptionally strong, but instead relied on the sheer number of spiders, we would have a very good chance of defeating her!"

Zhang Xuezhou ultimately made the decision.

Zhang Xuezhou may doubt Badun, but he will not doubt Huang Daoxian.

This doesn't mean Huang Daoxian is kind-hearted, but rather that the other party was already down on their luck and reduced to a dog, yet Huang Daoxian still tried to sabotage the situation when the Spider God Liao Meng descended. This implies that Huang Daoxian also didn't want to see the situation unfold.

Evil things need to be nipped in the bud. Huang Daoxian failed to nip it in the bud, and Zhang Xuezhou felt it was necessary to take over, rather than waiting until the disaster was out of control before putting out the fire.

Rather than becoming a renowned general like Li Guang, Zhang Xuezhou preferred to be like Cheng Bushi, who nipped problems in the bud and prevented them from arising in the Cheng Bushi.

"I'll lead the way!"

Zhang Xuezhou stood up, and Badun quickly stood up as well, indicating that he was willing to be at the forefront to withstand the risks.

"If I get controlled, Zhou Rihui, you can break my legs," Badun said. "Even if my legs are broken, I won't end up as nourishment for the Spider God's camp. You'll definitely be able to pull me back!"

"How about breaking his leg now?"

Zhou Rihui asked a question, but Badun did not respond. His face turned ashen as he jumped off the sunken rock where he was resting.

"Keep up with Badun. If necessary, I'll use my control abilities to chase Badun down until I stop him. As for the finishing blows, that's up to you guys to coordinate!"

Zhang Xuezhou followed and jumped down.

He brought up how to deal with Badun's loss of control, which made Badun purse his lips without responding.

As Naggs had said before, the Scarlet Alliance State were indeed confident of defeating him, a Ninth Sequence, even if he had the ability to destroy everyone's genetic weapons in an instant.

The thought of being tracked and hunted for nearly two months filled Badun with a heavy heart, as if the Spider God himself was watching him intently.

If he were to become part of the Spider God's descending form and appear before people like a walking corpse, Badun felt that being killed by the Scarlet Alliance State wouldn't be such a bad thing.
