Merchant Anthony responds to the call, bringing the migratory team scarce food and medicine.
The grateful man has his companions distribute the food and administer the medicine to the boy, as his emotions stabilize with his gradually recovering breath.
"You want to take them along? Our speed will be impaired, we won't get a high score."
The Spider Girl leans in close, standing beside Lu Li, quietly waiting for a breather.
The undisguised words reach the ears of the migratory team, whose lucky survival sees them enjoy food, but they slow their chewing, awaiting their fate's judgment.
"It's okay," Lu Li says.
"You call the shots."
The Spider Girl didn't like those who disrespected her, but now she's Lu Li's knight.
"My Lords, thank you for your help..."
The weary man props himself up and comes before Lu Li, once again expressing his gratitude, bringing along Ida, whose face is exquisite yet body ghastly.
"Folks, it's time for us to set off."
