By the time the members of the Seven-Person Team regained their senses, the North-South River had already returned to calm, and the whereabouts of their young master were unknown.
At that moment, Ah Dao felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, and he nearly fainted.
His sole purpose in life was to protect the young master; without him, what use was his life?
Just as Ah Dao was utterly disillusioned and about to follow Li Wenli, Rabbit suddenly embraced him.
"Brother Ah Dao! Are you going to abandon us too?"
"If you die, who else will be willing to accompany us to search for the young master?"
Xiao Chan forcibly held down the Mysterious Dipper that Ah Dao had raised, tears in her eyes, she earnestly said, "The young master must be alive, we have to find him."
"That’s right, the young master is powerful and protected by the Power of Ghosts and Gods; fortune favors the brave, he will be fine. If we give up, doesn’t that make the young master’s chances of survival even more slim?"
Old Monk also straightened his back, putting on a face of feigned strength, "Brother Dao! If you die, we’ll go along with you! The Seven-Person Team has to be together forever!"
"Exactly! Then let our leader be all alone in this world, desolate and helpless!"
"..." Ah Dao’s face remained sorrowful, but his eyes gradually regained clarity, as he finally came back to his senses.
And so, the Seven-Person Team settled down in the vicinity of Biluo City, together with Old Uncle Qiu’s family.
After all, Old Uncle Qiu’s daughter-in-law, grandson, and Bai Junjun’s family had all fallen into the water; they had someone to look for as well.
Unfortunately, after more than a month, there was still no news.
In the end, the Seven-Person Team pinned their hopes on the Ownerless Land, perhaps Li Wenli had gone there first.
Along the way, the group stuck together, occasionally accepting bounties from The Government to exchange for Silver Coin.
Recently, they had set their sights on Zhao Family Village. They tore down the bounty notice and prepared for a few days, intending to take a look at Zhao Family Village, only to discover someone had gotten there first.
With no other option, they had to take advantage of the absence of others to check out Black Spider’s hideout and scavenge whatever scraps they could find.
Unexpectedly, no one had laid hands on the cake that was Black Spider’s lair, and they were instead surrounded upon arrival.
When Rabbit went to scout for information, he disappeared, and Ah Dao was forced to show himself to mount a rescue.
Later, Li Wenli appeared.
Ah Dao briefly recounted the events that had transpired during the recent period.
However, after finishing, it was as if he had expended all his energy, and he seemed about to collapse from weakness.
Smiling Face immediately rushed over to the woman who was tightly bound, grabbing her, "Where is the Antidote!"
At this moment, the always smiling face finally lost its mirth, leaving only anger and indignation.
"Hmph." The woman scornfully snorted, "The Poison Lady has no antidote."
Hearing this, Smiling Face was seething with anger, wishing he could slaughter her then and there.
Li Wenli merely glanced at the woman indifferently before shifting his gaze away without a care.
He took out his water bottle from his Space, gesturing for Ah Dao to drink the water inside.
Bai Junjun’s Water of Flora, capable of neutralizing all poisons, might just be more effective than any Detoxifying Soup the Poison Lady could offer.
Ah Dao had complete trust in Li Wenli; upon seeing the water offered by him, he asked no questions and simply gulped it down.
The Poison Lady, upon seeing this, coldly huffed, "My poison can only be cured by me. Drinking Detoxifying Soup at random will only lead you to a quicker death!"
However, no sooner had the words left the Poison Lady’s lips than she felt a chill at her throat.
In shock, she widened her eyes only to see Li Wenli indifferently retracting his hand, uttering just one word, "Noisy."
And thus, the Black Spider’s third-ranked Poison Lady was easily silenced.
