“Go down.”

Su Qing saw his embarrassment and coldly retracted her gaze. She pointed at a large crack under his feet and ordered Ji Shuisheng.

“Go down?”

Ji Shuisheng looked at the crack. It was as wide as a person and so dark that he couldn’t see the bottom. He looked at Su Qing in disbelief. Would Lingzhi be here?

“Wait a minute; I’ll make a rope.”

Su Qing asked Xiao Qi how deep the hole was. Xiao Qi told her it was more than five meters deep and impossible to go down rashly at this height. She called out to Ji Shuisheng, who was ready to jump in, having pulled the vines from a tree. This place was close to a water source, so the vines were green and full of vitality and tenacity.

Ji Shuisheng also noticed that the trees he had passed by before had all withered, but the trees here were lush and dense. The grass on the ground was half a foot tall. This should be the place with the spiritual energy that Su Qing had mentioned.

Ji Shuisheng patiently waited for Su Qing to weave the vines. He watched as her two slender hands weaved quickly with a focused expression. Her long, curled eyelashes blocked her cold eyes. Ji Shuisheng wanted to go over and help, but when he thought of her actions, he didn’t dare to get close to Su Qing. He could only watch her from afar.

He found that he liked this feeling very much. Only the two of them were not disturbed. They didn’t need to talk, and the time was quiet.

“Alright, we’re almost done.”

Su Qing suddenly said and looked up at Ji Shuisheng. Ji Shuisheng hurriedly shifted his gaze away from Su Qing, feeling embarrassed as if he had been caught.

Su Qing felt that Ji Shuisheng was acting strange, but she didn’t have the time to care about him. As she tied the rope made of vines to the tree trunk, she said to Ji Shuisheng,

“I’ll go down first.”

“I’ll go first.”

Ji Shuisheng stopped Su Qing. It was pitch-black down there, and they did not know what to do if there was danger.

“Alright,” she said.

Su Qing didn’t waste time and handed the rope to Ji Shuisheng. She pointed to the basket on his back.

“Put it on top first; I’ll send you down with a rope later.”

“Alright,” he said.

Ji Shuisheng nodded and placed the basket on the ground. If he were to carry such a heavy thing down, it would affect his reaction speed in an emergency.

Su Qing watched as Ji Shuisheng went down. He was tall, but his movements weren’t stupid at all. He was as agile as an ape and slid down the rope quickly.

A height of five meters was not very high, so Ji Shuisheng quickly reached the bottom. He lit up the torch and observed the situation around him. There was a gust of wind and the sound of water in front. Fortunately, no poisonous snakes or fierce beasts were hiding.



Ji Shuisheng was very excited. There was actual water! He raised his head, put his hands by his mouth, and shouted,

“Su Qing put down the basket.”

Su Qing pulled the rope up, tied the bottom to the basket, and then threw it down. Ji Shuisheng caught the basket from below and shouted to the top,

“Don’t come down. I’ll come up after I get some water.”

By the time he shouted, it was already too late. Su Qing slid down the rope, but Ji Shuisheng let it go when he saw she had already come down.

“Follow me,” he ordered.

Ji Shuisheng held a torch before him and turned around to instruct Su Qing. Su Qing nodded and followed him.

When her god of war ability reached level 100, she wouldn’t need any lighting equipment. Now she was only level 21, but her vision was several times better than ordinary people, so even though there was only a faint light from the torch, she could see everything in the cave.

A black snake was almost the same color as the rock wall. It was flicking its tongue and staring at Ji Shuisheng.

“Shuisheng, be careful.”

It was already too late when Su Qing saw the venomous snake. The snake had already dived towards Ji Shuisheng from the rock wall and was about to bite his wrist.

This snake was poisonous! Ji Shuisheng almost threw away his lighter in pain. When he saw that it was a poisonous black snake as thick as an arm that bit his wrist, his entire arm instantly went numb. Ji Shuisheng was shocked.

Su Qing rushed over, grabbed the snake’s tail, and swung it a few times. The snake’s body collapsed, and it could no longer attack.

Ji Shuisheng could not support himself and fell to the ground. His wrist was black, and he fell into a coma instantly. If he were not rescued in time, he would undoubtedly die. This snake’s poison was potent.

“Xiao Qi.”

Su Qing called out to Xiao Qi anxiously. Without waiting for Xiao Qi’s reply, she took the treasured knife from Ji Shuisheng’s arms and cut the snake’s bite. Stinky black blood spurted out. She grabbed Ji Shuisheng’s arm to prevent the poisonous blood from attacking his heart.

Xiao Qi’s face turned bitter when she heard her master’s order. She couldn’t make the antidote without herbs.

Su Qing released all of the poisonous blood, and the color of the blood turned red. Ji Shuisheng’s face was no longer black but still pale.

“Xiao Qi?”

Su Qing’s voice turned cold when she saw that Xiao Qi had not taken out the antidote.

“Master, I’m missing a medicine that can cure the poison.”

Xiao Qi’s sobbing voice came out of the system.

“Will he die?”

Su Qing looked at the unconscious Ji Shuisheng and asked Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi’s voice lowered by a few degrees,

“He will.”

“Where’s the medicine?”

Su Qing asked Xiao Qi.

“It’s up there, but you won’t have enough time to come down.”

Xiao Qi understood that her master would find medicine, and her voice was pained.

Su Qing frowned when she heard Xiao Qi’s words. Ji Shuisheng could not die. She did not want to see Xiaoying sad.

Su Qing gritted her teeth and carried the tall Ji Shuisheng. She returned to the rope. Ji Shuisheng was unconscious and did not know she was holding onto his shoulder. If she let go, he would fall.

Su Qing had a quick-witted idea and threw Ji Shuisheng into the system. She wanted to try it and didn’t expect to throw Ji Shuisheng in. It was impossible to go up like this.

...

“Master, outsiders can only stay in the system for half a minute. Once the time is up, the system will throw them out.”

Xiao Qi hurriedly reminded her master. Su Qing frowned, meaning she only had one minute to climb up. Otherwise, Ji Shuisheng would fall to his death in mid-air.

Su Qing climbed up to the ground as fast as she could. Ji Shuisheng was thrown out of the system the moment she got up.

That was close. Ji Shuisheng would have died if she had been a second slower. Su Qing then realized that she was drenched in a cold sweat. This was something that had never happened before. She had never been so nervous, even when she narrowly escaped death in the past battles.

Su Qing quickly asked Xiao Qi, ”

“Where’s the medicine?”

“The one with the little yellow flowers is right there.”

Under Xiao Qi’s instructions, Su Qing ran over to pick up the medicine and threw it into the system. Xiao Qi immediately seized every second to make the medicine.

Su Qing released Ji Shuisheng and let him lie flat on the ground. Ji Shuisheng’s eyes were tightly shut, and his teeth were clenched tightly. He was barely breathing. Su Qing frowned. She did not want to see him as weak and helpless.





“Father, mother, your son will never forget the blood feud. Your son will avenge you.”

Ji Shuisheng’s thoughts were a mess, and he started to talk nonsense.

...

Su Qing listened quietly and felt his pulse. It was getting weaker and weaker. If it weren’t for his strong will, he wouldn’t have lasted until now.

“Xiao Qi, hurry up.”

Su Qing ordered Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi took out a black pill and said,

“Master, it’s done.”

Su Qing tried to pry open Ji Shuisheng’s mouth, but his teeth were too tightly clenched, and he couldn’t open them. Su Qing anxiously squeezed his teeth and quickly stuffed the pill in, but Ji Shuisheng couldn’t swallow it anymore, and the drug fell out again.
