"Ahhh..."
Seeing the piles of corpses, Nuoyidesiji erupted in fury.
"Search!"
"Search the entire city immediately, she must not be allowed to escape!"
The Tularu Hotel.
This had been booked by Bai Zihe and his group before they arrived.
According to their fifth senior sister, this hotel was very famous and had extremely strong security, with few daring to cause trouble here.
"Little junior brother, you're finally back!"
Seeing Bai Zihe, Murong Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief and immediately brought him inside, "Take a look at the Black Queen first, her complexion is very poor."
Bai Zihe's face darkened, and he stepped forward immediately.
The Black Queen lay on the bed, her face ashen, even faintly tinged with black, looking devoid of any life.
Bai Zihe placed his hand on her wrist, preparing to take her pulse, but his expression suddenly changed.
The Black Queen's delicate jade-like skin...
was ice-cold, utterly devoid of any warmth. One would believe she had been dead for three days and three nights.
Bai Zihe frowned and examined her carefully.
The Black Queen was poisoned by the potent "Black Widow Spider Venom."
This was a highly venomous substance, virtually unknown in Da Xia, but notorious within the Bearman Kingdom.
It was a concoction primarily based on the venom of the Black Widow spider, mixed with various other poisons, capable of causing blood to coagulate within a short period, leading to death.
The Black Queen had clearly taken an antidote, otherwise, she wouldn't have lasted this long.
However, the antidote she had taken was not a specific antidote for the Black Widow Spider Venom. It could only delay the spread of the toxin, not resolve the problem fundamentally.
And now, the poison was clearly about to take its full toll.
"Little junior brother, what's her condition?"
"Black Widow Spider Venom."
Bai Zihe's expression was grim. "This poison isn't extremely lethal, but the medicinal ingredients required for its antidote are extremely rare."
"If it's not detoxified in time, once it spreads to the brain, even if we save her, she'll become an imbecile due to blocked blood vessels in her brain!"
Bai Zihe had traveled all this way precisely to obtain information about Dragon Island from the Black Queen. Such an outcome was naturally unacceptable.
"What do we do now?"
Murong Mingyue also understood the gravity of the situation.
"I'm calling fifth senior sister right now to see if we can gather these medicinal ingredients in Moqihe. If not, it will be difficult."
Saying this, Bai Zihe immediately called Yue Rushuang.
"Little junior brother, is everything going smoothly over there?" Yue Rushuang answered the call instantly.
Bai Zihe gave a wry smile. "Not entirely smooth. We found the Black Queen, but she's been poisoned by 'Black Widow Spider Venom'."
"Help me check which places in Moqihe sell 'Immortal Dragon Fruit' and 'Emerald Dew Plant'..."
Bai Zihe listed the names of several medicinal ingredients.
These were necessary for the antidote, and he didn't have them on hand.
"Alright, I'll check now."
A short while later, Yue Rushuang called back.
"Little junior brother, most of the medicinal ingredients can be bought at the apothecaries in Moqihe, but the 'Immortal Dragon Fruit' is unavailable."
Bai Zihe's sword-like eyebrows rose.
The Immortal Dragon Fruit was the main ingredient for the antidote. The rest were manageable, but this one was essential.
Fortunately,
Yue Rushuang quickly added, "However, there's an auction house run by the Ying people in Moqihe called 'Shandaofu'."
"Among the auction items tomorrow noon, there is a plant of 'Immortal Dragon Fruit'."
That settled it, then.
Bai Zihe felt relieved.
He had put the call on speaker, and Murong Mingyue also heard the news. She immediately issued orders, "Chuntao, go to the nearby apothecaries and buy the common medicinal ingredients."
"Xiahe, go to the bank and get some more money..."
"No need for such trouble!"
Bai Zihe interrupted her directly.
Murong Mingyue was suddenly confused.
"Fourth senior sister..."
Bai Zihe grinned and said in a flash, "Have you forgotten your original profession? Why be so polite with the Ying people's possessions? We'll just snatch it back tomorrow noon."
"Uh..."
Murong Mingyue was left speechless.
Xiahe, Qiuyue, and Dongxue burst into laughter, "Boss Bai, it's still you. I really like this plan!"
Indeed.
The Ying people had plundered so many things from Da Xia. For Bai Zihe to occasionally retaliate...
That was called reciprocity, perfectly reasonable!
Afterward.
Bai Zihe took out the Yin-Yang Seventy-two Needles and performed some simple treatments on the Black Queen, slowing the spread of the Black Widow Spider Venom within her body.
