Eric didn't know how long he had been running, but through the gaps between the branches, he could see that the dark night sky was already full of stars. Sweat soaked his temples and back, and he didn't know how many scars were hung from the branches of the trees, not to mention his coat, which looked a little old...... None of this mattered, though, and every once in a while he would gasp for air and try to discuss something simple with Goliath on his back. Eric didn't expect his partner to give any precise answers, as long as he heard a soft nasal sound of "um", Captain Ranger seemed to be able to gush out more power in a place he didn't even know, like a spring!

After running a few more steps, Eric saw a sluggish owl tugging at a branch in front of him.

Ebion is not one of the birds that excels at long-distance flights, in fact, birds of prey like him are what they rely on for their explosiveness and precision in attacking. What's more, even migratory birds that are good at flying for a long time and birds of prey hovering in the open area foraging for food are always relying on the power of high-altitude currents, for a big bird like Abiang, the long-term uninterrupted shuttle between the windless jungle at night has completely drained its physical strength, if it continues like this, Golia can be saved, Eric is not sure, but Abion is definitely one step ahead of the other.

So the captain of the ranger beckoned to the owl on the branch, and the great bird flapped its wings and prepared to land in the woodland covered with dead leaves, but this once-simple action was like a great burden to it at this time, and it fell headlong among the dead leaves.

After a moment of scrambling, Eric finally confirms that Gloria's animal companion is simply out of strength. He whistled back to Tori, who was waiting in front of him, and the little fox was also panting like a cute stupid dog with his tongue sticking out.

Taking out the kettle from his waist, Eric poured some water and fed it to the owl and the little fox in the middle of his palm, and then he swallowed a small mouthful of his own, as if his throat was almost dry and evaporated by the heat before it could be wet. Resisting the urge to gulp down the cool, sweet spring water, Andrari's training sessions have long reminded all trainees of what an unforgettable and special experience it is to exercise vigorously with something in their stomachs.

Eric poured some water on his head, and felt the cold spring water quickly "assimilate" his body heat. He didn't dare feed Gloria on his back, even though he knew that his partner's throat was just as thirsty - she would probably choke on a simple swallow with a paralyzed muscle, which would probably be fatal to his already weak partner!

Twisting and releasing the cord that had been tied to Golia's arm to restrict blood flow, Eric was not sure if it would slow down the poison, but he did as His Highness had been told. As long as the toxin has not completely spread from Golia's arm to her whole body, it will have even a slight effect. The tourniquet was released regularly to prevent necrosis of the arm tissue caused by prolonged blood circulation, and this was the fifth time he had untied Golia's arm to rejuvenate the blood......

I have done exactly what His Highness said, and Your Majesty the Great Goddess must bless her to survive until the moment of salvation!

"Tori, there's a little bit of jerky here. You're in charge of taking care of Abion here, and I'll take care of the rest by myself......" Eric rubbed the little fox's fluffy head vigorously, and then stretched his neck to touch the big bird's forehead again, "Finally, I have to borrow your strength......"

The brilliance of the magic flashed again, and the simple act of standing up from the ground made the Ranger Captain feel as if his legs no longer belonged to him. In one go, he once again mobilized the only remaining life force in his body, and Eric, who had exerted the "tenacity of the wolf", took his own steps without hesitation.

"They...... Yes, it's fine...... A simple question seemed to exhaust Golia's whole strength, although she had begun to appear confused, but what Eric had just done was still in her eyes.

Just as her non-verbal companion is still worried about her safety, she is always concerned about her loyal animal companion.

"It's going to be fine, my Tori is very clever. The most important thing now is that you must hold on, as long as you are safe, I will definitely come back to pick them up as soon as possible!"

Just as he had been barely moving his legs and was about to disobey him, Eric believed that Goliath was also firmly resisting the deadly toxin, and when he thought of his partner not giving up hope of survival even though he was in such pain, how could he fall first!?

......

The pace of his feet never stopped, but Eric couldn't help but recall his military life a few months ago. Looking back now, it seems that thanks to the foresight and "ruthless" training of His Highness Andrew, he remembered that His Highness and the elders always said that if you endure more hardships in peacetime, you can save more lives in times of war...... At most, they had covered forty kilometers in one day with their armor on their backs, and their camp was certainly not so far from the nearest village, and now they were just concentrating on a day's training. Goliath on her back was also much lighter than she thought......

Eric couldn't help but let out a short laugh at the thought of this, and he remembered how his colleagues at the same time had described the training sessions and His Highness Andre - everyone said that His Highness only looked like a real "demon king" every time he announced the amount of training!

The cranky Ranger captain didn't take a steady step, and almost fell on the ground covered with dead leaves, but fortunately, his good coordination as a veteran ranger allowed him to adjust his center of gravity at the last moment, so that he mastered his balance and did not roll down the steep slope in front of him - it didn't matter if he fell, but Goliath was at her weakest moment, and she couldn't stand such a fierce impact.

Thinking of the safety of his partner behind him, Eric broke out in a cold sweat in fear.

After a few steady steps to adjust his state, Eric focused all his energy on exploring the path, if he had made such a serious mistake because of the lack of that noisy bird exploring the path ahead, he would not have the face to see those two guys waiting in the woods again!

Throwing himself into the hurry, Eric didn't notice that Golia's body behind her was getting weaker and weaker.

......

Along the way, Eric had blurred his sense of time and distance. I only felt that my physical strength really seemed to be about to be exhausted, and Golia's back and my feet seemed to be as heavy. His throat seemed to be smoking, and it was extremely uncomfortable to tear, but he did not dare to stop even a small sip of water, for he was afraid that once he stopped his mechanical stride, he would never be able to lift his feet again.

The life force is a very magical and omnipresent force that seems to exist everywhere life is conceived. But when it exists in an individual's body, it is closely related to the state of a single life, for example, now, Eric, who feels extremely heavy in his body, can no longer draw even a trace of life force. His body was like a parched wilderness, and he could no longer find the slightest water source to use.

“...... Captain...... I...... Ha, ha...... It seems like...... Fast, persistent...... Stop ......" The sound was almost negligible in Eric's ears, and it wasn't until he had run a few more steps that Eric reacted - this may represent the beginning of Gloria's will beginning to collapse!

"No......! Oh, you must, you have to hold on, Qingshi Village...... It's not far ahead!...... Hah, we're almost there!" Eric kept saying nonsense that he couldn't even believe, but Gloria behind him didn't seem to have the strength to respond again. At this moment, he didn't know how much he wished that his partner would be able to gasp like himself even if he felt suffocated! The more there was no movement behind him, the more uneasy he felt!

"Hold on...... Hang on...... ......The panic made Eric's breath more and more disordered, and he knew that the more he was at this time, the more he could not mess with himself, and he tried not to imagine the bad pictures, and kept repeating the stiff strides.

......

I don't know how long it took, maybe it was just a moment, maybe it was a short journey, but Eric suddenly found that the path in front of him became more and more difficult to distinguish - it was a harbinger that the effectiveness of the psychic magic began to fade, and it seemed that the more intimate the magic was with the person who shared the senses, the better the effect, and now it seemed that they had been separated from Abion for a long time...... Clearing the distractions out of his mind, Eric continued to walk like a walking corpse......

In a trance, he suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him, and it seemed that he had stepped on a foreign object such as a stone under his feet...... Then there was the sound of his body falling on the fallen leaves, and in the darkness Eric lay on the dead leaves and turned his head to look at Gloria pressing on top of him. The beautiful female ranger's pale and bloodless face seemed to be silent at this time, and her eyes with long eyelashes drooped down, as if she had simply fallen asleep......

In a trance, there seemed to be the sound of something stepping on the leaves not far away...... What kind of big beast did it alarm?, but the incompetent squad leader and his only team members ended up dying in the mouth of the beast seemed to be a very dramatic ending...... But why isn't my life a comedy with a happy ending!?

"Who's there!?"

Even if my failed life was destined to die in solitude, Goliath should not have the same ending as me!

"If I don't speak, I'm going to attack!!"

Come on, just make my fate a little more tragic...... Hmmm!?wait?That should have been a companion's voice!?

“...... Help, help!" Eric felt like his throat was made of sun-dried yellow mud.

"Who are you, how did you end up here?" the familiar elven whisper made the ranger on duty let his guard down.

"Quick, fast...... Save my companion!She's been poisoned by the red ring snake!" Eric finally gasped for breath and began to speak coherently, though his voice was still hoarse and indistinguishable, "Help her!

"Wait, I'll call Master Enriel right away!"

Eric's hoarse voice made the ranger who heard the movement realize the seriousness of the situation, and of course he could see the figure on the ground through the dim moonlight—with long slender ears and standard ranger attire.

"Leave me alone, and bring my companion to the village first!" she's been holding on to several hourglasses under the venom of the snake......

"Guys, come here! There are two wounded here!"

As soon as his heart was relieved, Eric's consciousness fell into darkness completely...... Thank you for the reward of Qinghuan Youwei 233 students, saying that the anti-pornography and anti-illegal and clean network action is underway, and the first volume has not been polished yet......
