Chapter 112: Removing The Hypnosis

Neptune immediately took out the item in question and put it in Gu Ding’s hand.

“What’s this?” Gu Ding stared at the metal button-like object in his hands with a slight look of confusion. Robert had made a lot of gadgets, but he did not have the time to explain their functions in detail.

“Fiber button,” Neptune already had sufficient knowledge about these gadgets Robert made, “You just need to lock onto someone, press the button, and it will deploy tough fibers which will tie them up. Under normal circumstances, the fibers will be capable of trapping a Rank-8 Gene Body for at least half an hour.”

“In other words, it’s useless against a Rank-10 Gene Body.” Gu Ding was not optimistic. What can only trap a Rank-8 Gene Body for half an hour would prove to be nothing but a toy to a Rank-10 Gene Body.

“The reason why I’m letting you use this is not to trap him. He could easily break free from the fibers.” Neptune spoke his mind. “Though, even if it throws him off for a second, Biggie can exploit this distraction to find his weakness and break the current stalemate.”

After hearing Neptune’s explanation, Gu Ding decided it was an executable plan. He glanced over the pale Liliath and pressed down on the target key. A translucent holographic screen was projected in front of Gu Ding. A while later, the red laser sight locked onto the Witch Tribe powerhouse. Gu Ding pressed hard on the button. A strand of transparent silk shot out quickly and instantly wrapped itself around the target’s leg.

It was too late for the Witch Tribe powerhouse to notice the anomaly. The transparent fiber had already begun to climb up his leg. He grabbed the fiber that had now reached his thigh with one hand and forcefully pulled it away to prevent it from becoming a bigger nuisance.

Biggie, of course, would not let this opportunity slip away. In under a second, he had appeared beside the powerhouse’s waist, a sharp force flowed through his palms as he struck his waist, leaving behind a deep gash.

Blood burst out from the Witch Tribe powerhouse wound. He immediately clutched his waist and retreated. He knew very well that if he continued fighting in this wounded state, he would be killed by his opponent.

Biggie had no intention of letting him catch his breath. He was faster than the injured powerhouse and stopped him in the blink of an eye.

The Witch Tribe powerhouse continued to dodge his attacks, trying his best to avoid engaging in combat. He fully understood that once he challenged Biggie, he would be forced to commit to the fight. He chose to avoid the fight, waiting for an opportunity to escape.

“Neptune, do you have any more of those fiber buttons?” Gu Ding did not plan on wasting another second. Liliath’s body was on the verge of collapsing. If it was not for him, she might have fallen long ago. Her control of Biggie was also wearing off.

“I do!” Neptune answered and took out another fiber button for Gu Ding.

Gu Ding once again locked in on the powerhouse and pressed the launch button. A colorless fiber once again shot out of the gadget. This time, it wrapped itself around his head, blinding him in the process.

When the Witch Tribe powerhouse tore the fiber away, he felt a warm sensation form on his neck and vaguely understood the situation. He reached out to touch his neck; a viscous liquid spurted out continuously. He could also feel his cervical vertebrae were exposed to the air. The rough texture made him realize that his cervical vertebrae were also severely damaged. Subsequently, his vision gradually began to blur, and his body slowly grew heavier…

When the Witch Tribe powerhouse collapsed, Gu Ding let out a deep breath. “Lili, remove the hypnosis!”

“But… it’s not over, the others will catch up soon!” Liliath’s body trembled, but she stubbornly shook her head.

“Leave the rest to me, you’ve done enough.” Gu Ding’s tone was a little grim. Liliath’s body was extremely exhausted. If she persisted any longer, it could cause irreversible damage to her body.

Liliath looked at Gu Ding and forced a smile. Then, she nodded her head and removed the hypnosis on Biggie. Her gold pupils instantly returned to its original color, and her body collapsed to the ground.

“Biggie, let’s go!” Gu Ding carried Liliath on his back and shouted at Biggie who was not far away.

Biggie gazed at the dead body absentmindedly before looking at his hands. He suddenly stood still.

Seeing that Biggie was not responding to him, Gu Ding went over and patted him on the shoulders. “Let’s just leave it be, we’re running out of time. We have to get out of here at once, or more enemies will come over.”

Biggie then stood up, a little dazed. His body was trembling as if he was afraid of something.

Seeing Biggie’s reaction, Gu Ding grabbed his wrist and dragged him out of the disastrous battlefield.

After being on the run for nearly half an hour, Gu Ding, under Neptune’s instructions, found a cave abandoned by a Gene Body. They could not go any further as Liliath had passed out, and so they had to find a safe place for treatment as soon as possible.

In the cave, Gu Ding took out some sheets from Inventory and laid it out on the floor. He then put Liliath down and let her lie across the sheets. Thankfully, her breathing was steadying.

“What do we do now? This type of spirit exhaustion requires spirit medicine, but I have never bought any related medicinal material.” Gu Ding had no idea what to do.

“There are some in Lili’s Inventory. Back in Fengyuan, I saw her buying materials for spirit medicine.” What Neptune just said was indeed considered good news. “Hold her intelligent wristwatch in your hand, I’ll get the corresponding medicinal material out.”

Gu Ding immediately proceeded. Neptune quickly took out a portion of medicinal material. Gu Ding did not have the time to create the second or third medicine. Letting Liliath drink a bottle of medicine to stabilize her body was the priority.

Gu Ding, who got the medicinal material, started the quick refining process. Although it was his first time refining a spirit medicine, it was a piece of cake for him. In less than ten minutes, an E-grade spirit medicine was made and as always, it was of perfect quality.

Gu Ding gently poured the medicine into Liliath’s mouth and gave her another bottle of E-grade cell repair agent. Liliath’s face then looked a lot better.

Only then Gu Ding looked over Biggie who had been silent all the while.

After Biggie entered the cave, he just sat quietly against the wall and looked down at the ground without saying a word. Even when Gu Ding was refining the medicine, he did not look up. Gu Ding was so focused on treating Liliath that he did not notice Biggie sitting in the corner, looking distraught. After seeing Biggie in this state, Gu Ding naturally became concerned.

Gu Ding walked over to Biggie’s side. He was about to say something when he heard Neptune’s warning. “Those people from Witch Tribe are catching up with us, they’re probably one kilometer away from here. There’s three Rank-8 Gene Body, five Rank-7 Gene Body, and twelve Rank-6 Gene Body.”

“Biggie, I know you’re not yourself right now, and there is no way you can fight. However, our enemies are approaching now. I need you to take Lili away and hide, while I lead these people away. Once the space-time backtracking ends, I’ll contact you as soon as I get the chance.” Looking at Biggie’s current state, Gu Ding was doubtful over whether he could even do that much.

Biggie raised his head and nodded vigorously. “I may not be able to fight, but I’ll do my best to protect Lili.”
