Chapter 220 The True Colors Are Revealed

"Damn it, where is Zhang Lin?"

Peng Bing walked on the thick spider silk, his expression irritated. "Could it be that he's really that useless, and has already been eaten to the bone by the domain spiders?"

After searching, they couldn't find Zhang Lin; instead, they lost several men on his side.

This gradually wore down Peng Bing's patience.

Niu Chuan, who was standing to the side, said calmly, "When the Domain Spider catches its prey, it does not kill it directly. Instead, it wraps it with spider silk and lets its corrosive body fluids corrode the prey's flesh and bones until the impurities disappear and only pure nutrient liquid remains."

"And the corrosion process won't end in just a day or two. Even if Zhang Lin is caught by the Domain Spider, we can still find Zhang Lin's body."

Hearing this, Peng Bing's agitation lessened slightly.

Thinking about the bright future, the current harsh environment doesn't seem so unbearable.

However, after a slight pause, Peng Bing angrily said to Niu Chuan, "Stop talking nonsense. Do you think I don't know what you're saying? What I need now is a way to speed things up!"

Upon hearing this, Niu Chuan remained expressionless. After pondering for a moment, he said, "We've traversed most of the Spider Silk Domain and found almost no living people. Perhaps Zhang Lin has truly been captured. In that case, why don't we go directly to the Domain Spider's lair and search for Zhang Lin's remains in its granary?"

“Hmm, that’s one way.” Peng Bing nodded and said, “Since we haven’t found Zhang Lin for so long, it means that Zhang Lin is probably trapped or dead. Instead of wasting time searching aimlessly, we should go to the Domain Spider’s nest to search.”

"You are indeed wise," Niu Chuan said, praising him from the side.

Peng Bing snorted coldly, not caring at all.

Ushikawa had been flattered too much in the past, and he was immune to it now.

Next, Niu Chuan continued to lead the way, scouting ahead for those who followed and avoiding danger.

He was too weak; after walking only a few steps, he felt weak all over and could only rely on medication to keep going.

As soon as I took the medicine, my body instantly regained its energy.

However, this medicine also has significant side effects, which can severely damage the body's vital energy.

Niu Chuan knew that even if he hadn't betrayed them, this trip would mean he wouldn't be far from death when he returned.

What's even more chilling is that Peng Bing gave him this medicine.

If you look at it from a darker perspective, maybe Peng Bing was deliberately forcing Niu Chuan to his death.

Niu Chuan was a shrewd man, and he never minded thinking the worst of others, which made him increasingly indifferent.

The severed arm was wrapped in thick bandages.

But what no one knew was that inside the bandage was a small machine that was constantly transmitting signals to the outside world.

"We'll take advantage of Peng Bing's impatience, leading him to the Domain Spider's lair and forcing him to fight the spiders head-on. This will severely damage his forces, making it easier for Zhang Lin to kill him when he arrives!"

'I hope Zhang Lin comes slowly, so I can earn another merit. That way, my days under his command will be easier.'

Niu Chuan walked at the front, constantly paying attention to his surroundings while continuously revising his plan in his mind.

His plan was almost complete at this point.

Next, we just need to wait for Zhang Lin to arrive, then surround Peng Bing, kill him, and that's it.

But Peng Bing was in such a hurry.

Ushikawa quickly changed his mind and revised his plan.

So he lured Peng Bing to the lair of the Domain Spider, which would surely cause some losses to Peng Bing's men, making it easier to kill Peng Bing when Zhang Lin arrived.

While thinking, Niu Chuan and his companions hurried on their way and soon arrived at the entrance to a cave.

Territorial spiders prefer to live underground, and they store their food and offspring in their underground burrows.

For Ushikawa, who is very familiar with the habits of territorial spiders, finding the territorial spider's burrow is not difficult at all.

"Dad, we're here." Niu Chuan stood at the cave entrance, pointing to the dark entrance, and said, "We have the Azure Lights, so we're not too afraid of the Domain Spiders' sneak attacks, but the Domain Spiders have a lot of smaller spiders under their command, so this will be a tough battle!"

"Do I need to tell you?" Peng Bing sneered dismissively, then said to his men, "Brothers, go in and search. As soon as we find Zhang Lin's remains, we'll retreat!"

A group of people entered the cave together.

He then engaged in battle with the Domain Spider and its army of smaller spiders.

With prior preparation and the presence of the Azure Lighting System, making them unafraid of attacks from Domain Spiders, the superhuman spider beings hold the advantage against Domain Spiders and their army of smaller spiders.

Following Peng Bing's orders, the group fought while simultaneously opening the oval-shaped spider silk cocoons inside the cave, resembling cicada pupae.

These oval-shaped cocoons are filled with the prey of the territorial spiders, most of whom are humans.

Some of them were so corrupted that their identities were no longer discernible.

However, some who are not severely corrupted can still be identified by their clothing, physique, appearance, or tattoos and decorations.

But after searching everywhere, they couldn't find Zhang Lin at all.

There wasn't even one that resembled Zhang Lin.

At this point, Peng Bing's men suffered heavy losses.

After all, this is in someone else's territory, in the spider's lair.

They have a geographical advantage.

"Take any badly decomposed corpse we can find and we're retreating!"

Seeing that the losses were increasing, Peng Bing immediately issued a retreat order.

The fact that Zhang Lin cannot be found means that he has not been captured by the Domain Spider.
