Eric also vividly remembers that, according to His Highness Andrew, the most common snake venoms are divided into three main categories - circulatory toxins, neurotoxins, and mixed toxins.

Among them, the symptoms of blood toxins are the most obvious. The first bite site will become rapidly swollen, with severe pain, hardness, and clotting disorders. If the symptoms are severe, the skin and subcutaneous tissue will begin to die, and even slowly spread to the whole body, resulting in blood circulation diseases such as nostril bleeding and blood in the urine, and finally the poisoned person will die due to heart failure or shock.

The symptoms of neurotoxins are more insidious, and the local symptoms of the injury are not obvious from the beginning, but the toxin will spread to the whole body unconsciously after the injury. Once onset, it manifests as systemic symptoms, either hyperactivity or muscle tremors. Then, with the aggravation of poisoning, it begins to be accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue and difficulty in muscle control, which is manifested as five fingers not listening to commands, stuttering when speaking, and unable to complete swallowing movements, and when it is the most irreversible, it will develop into intercostal muscles and diaphragm weakness resulting in dyspnea, and death due to suffocation due to systemic muscle paralysis.

The so-called mixed toxin is a combination of both symptoms, in fact, most snake venoms are only biased towards blood poison or circulating poison, resulting in the other part of the toxin symptoms are not obvious.

In terms of symptoms alone, the snake venom in Golia's is obviously biased towards neurotoxin, which is simply the principle of action of this toxin is to hinder the transmission of nerve information, resulting in uncontrolled body muscles, and eventually being threatened by life due to difficulty breathing and suffocation. Of course, Andrei would not use such a technical phrase when explaining to people, and it was a big problem to get his "students" to understand and be convinced of the working principle of the nervous system. Therefore, the children of the abyss adopted an even more alarmist rhetoric at the time - "soul toxin", a strong toxin that hinders the union between the soul and the body!

However, determining that Golia's snake venom was a "soul toxin" doesn't seem to make any sense to the current situation, and while Miss Ranger's symptoms aren't so typical, Eric thinks it's probably due to the fact that the elves' physical qualities are different from those of other mortal races. He understands that things will only go in a better direction if he prepares for the worst when considering countermeasures.

"Goliath, listen carefully to what I have to say now. Captain Ranger held Golia's slightly chilled right hand tightly, as if this act could transmit his strength to her, "Do you feel weak and indescribable pain now?"

"Hmm......" Miss Ranger nodded with difficulty.

"Okay, I know, from now on you have to save every ounce of your strength. Because within a few hourglass hours you may experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing, which is very fatal. If you believe me, you must persevere! No matter how uncomfortable it is, you must not give up the hope of survival, and you must not give up pursuing your breathing instinct!"

But Eric knew very well in his heart that if the "soul toxin" could survive only by the will of mortals, then not so many people would die of snake venom every year. For this reason, he thought of His Highness's speculative theory of toxin resistance - all life has some resistance to most toxins in nature, and those toxins that can cause devastating destructive power in this wonderful confrontation and take people's lives before resistance is formed are called deadly toxins. Eric still remembers that when Andre talked about the ability to resist poison, the liver, the human organ, can dissolve most of the toxic or medicinal components in the human body, of course, this ability has a certain limit. Then there is a certain amount of anti-toxic ingredients in the blood......

Eric can't muster enough life force to perform powerful healing spells with immediate results, but as a veteran Ranger, he has a lot of experience in using life force. The Ranger Captain prayed to the goddess in his heart, and then tried to transfer the life force that his hands had gathered from his body and was better than nothing into Golia's upper abdomen, which was where the liver was located.

Although he was unable to cast powerful divine arts, Eric still understood that a certain level of life force was only good for mortal bodies.

Then there was the spleen and the heart, and Eric didn't know how much of a difference his approach would make, but it was the best he could!

"Soul toxin...... "Erik muttered over and over again, showing that he wasn't very sure about his own measures in his heart. Then he suddenly remembered the few magic spells he had mastered that he could use on others.

"Cat Grace" is an advanced derivative of the "Gift of Life", which is used to allow the recipient to control the body and movements with unmistakable precision and ease of use. Ranger who has been used this magic is usually able to cross between tree branches as if walking on the ground, of course, people who have not received climbing training can not do this degree even if they are applied to this magic skill, "Cat Elegance" belongs to a kind of life force in the degree of "quantity" is not high, but has strict requirements for control ability. Moreover, it seems to have the opposite effect of the soul toxin in terms of effect alone!

Gently holding Miss Ranger's head, in the dim twilight of the forest, the emerald green light faintly flickered between Eric's hands, and the Ranger Captain looked at Golia's expression with a solemn face, for fear that the other party would feel any discomfort in the process of casting the magic spell. As his hands slid over his slender neck and spine, Eric hesitated slightly. When the "Grace of a Cat" is normally performed, the life force should eventually pass through the spine and pass into the victim's limbs, so as to achieve a degree of coordination between the opponent's limbs that is far beyond the norm. But at this time, the coordination of limbs must have no substantial effect on Golia, if she can still ensure her ability to move under the effect of divine magic, then the strong feeling of suffocation will also make her extremely weak...... So Eric's hands flashed across Miss Ranger's spine and ribs, and finally landed on her upper abdomen.

His Royal Highness Andrew once asserted that the "intercostal muscles" and "diaphragm" play an irreplaceable role in breathing, which is one of the conclusions that most rangers and druids who know about their own anatomy agree with very much.

"Thank you, Captain...... I suddenly feel so much better......"

Hearing the affirmative answer, Eric's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. He waved at Goliath's animal companion, and when Abion landed in front of him, the Ranger Captain leaned down and touched the owl's fluffy head with his forehead.

"Abion, Golia and I need your help badly......" Eric stared cautiously at the big brown eyes of the big-headed raptor, who had seen Golia's efforts to share her senses with her animal companions...... As if to understand the Captain Ranger's cautious request, the owl closed its large, clear eyes, and the light of magic flashed between the foreheads of a man and an eagle.

At this moment, Eric seemed to be able to feel the same anxiety as Golia's animal companions, and the originally dim forest became brighter and brighter in his eyes—the psychic spell gave the Ranger Captain the powerful vision he desperately needed!

Pulled the weak Golia up and let her lean softly against her back. Eric tied Miss Ranger to his back with a rope, and in order not to interfere with her breathing, Eric tied it loosely so that it would not press too Golia's ribcage, and he knew that his partner would become weaker and weaker over time. In this process, she must not have the extra strength to hold her neck.

"Abion, Tori, I need you to find my way ahead now. ”

The big brown bird let out a high-pitched chirp and disappeared between the branches in front of him, and the chirping that usually made Eric feel inexplicably irritated seemed to give him indescribable confidence and strength at this moment. The little red fox deftly bypassed its companion, who was carrying a member who could not leap through the bushes, glanced back at the elven ranger around the corner, and then continued to explore a path more suitable for mortals, and the delicious chicken stew dinner was completely left behind by the greedy little fox.

"If you feel any discomfort or symptoms worsen, you must tell me as soon as possible......" After saying this, Eric took a deep breath, and pulled up the knee of Miss Ranger behind his back with both wrists, and the light representing magic flashed from his body again, and then he ran in the direction of the two animal companions without saying a word.

Golia, who was behind him, didn't know what she was thinking, she leaned weakly against her partner's body, and closed her eyes quietly. It was as if all the dangers had nothing to do with her at this moment - that she had done everything for her life and was ready to do her best was a companion worthy of her life, and the feeling of entrusting her life and death to someone she could trust, waiting for her fate to come, did not seem as bad as she had imagined......
