Chapter 157: Facing Poison

Seeing the assassin's head explode into a puddle of flesh in front of him, his body fell to the ground as if it had lost its support. Hiko's heart couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Touwei acupoint, one of the seven hundred and eight secret holes and acupoints surveyed by the Beidou God Fist for the human body. Located on both sides of the human skull, near the temples. Hit with the unique strength of the Beidou vein, even if it is as slight as a dragonfly, it will become a fatal killing move.

As long as you let go of your hand, within a few breaths, the middle person will burst his head at least and shatter his bones. It's really a terrible life.

However, this is only something taught in the Beidou lineage, and Hiko has never used this secret hole. After all, this is the first time he has used a secret hole on a person's body, and he doesn't know whether it can play a decisive role. He couldn't think so much about the life-and-death struggle, but after the fact, everything was settled, and he couldn't help but be afraid.

Fortunately, the killing move of Touwei Acupoint is indeed useful, otherwise, I am afraid that it is myself who has fallen to the ground now. Pressing his hand on the wound on his lower back, Hiko sighed in his heart.

Through the feeling of his body, he can clearly recognize the injuries on his body. Further, the entire kidney is torn apart. That kind of injury, if not treated in time, is a certain death. Luckily, the damage stopped before the internal organs.

In the race for time, Hiko won the victory, so his injury stopped at the muscles. This is a minor injury, and the recovery ability of the Enods will be cured for two days of recuperation. That's pretty good compared to the other result, isn't it?

Psychologically comforting himself, Hiko planned to escort Billy's mother and son away as soon as possible. But no sooner had he moved his steps than a feeling of dizziness had already come out of his brain. He didn't bleed much, and it couldn't have been because of the loss of blood that caused this debilitating vertigo. Therefore, the only possibility is that he is afraid that he has been poisoned.

Realizing this, Hiko immediately wrung his eyebrows. He slightly loosened the hand that was pressing on the wound, reducing the pressure on the wound. Normally, this would be a bit of irritating pain. However, all he felt was numbness, abnormal numbness. This made him almost certain of the fact that he had been poisoned. And in the face of such a fact, he immediately put his bloodstained palm in front of him.

The blood is bright red and there has been no clotting until now. The obvious distinguishing features made him immediately recognize the type of toxin in his body. This is probably some kind of blood-soluble snake venom.

This was a good fit for the Assassin's identity, and his serpent-like deadly habits made them habitually use snake venom, and there seemed nothing wrong with it.

Back to toxins. Because of the harsh environment in which the Nords live, they are accustomed to dealing with those powerful creatures. And in order to avoid losses in some unexpected situations, such as poisoning and the like. In the long process of research and experience, the shamans of the Nord people have summed up several routine poisoning situations and how to deal with them.

In the shamanic experience, toxins are generally divided into five categories: neurotoxins, muscle toxins, hemolytic toxins, hemorrhagic toxins, and necrotizing toxins. These toxins are often seen in nature, and with a little thought, they can be extracted from animals or plants in nature.

The Nords naturally disdained to use quenching poison as a means of inferiority, but the enemies they faced, the beasts and monsters that inhabited the poor mountains and rivers, did not care about this.

Whether it's some sea monsters in the sea, or the big ice worms on the ice field, or the earth dragon lizards in the caves, they are all terrifying monsters that are born with some kind of poison. And if the Nords want to gallop on the land of Arest, it is impossible not to solve their problems.

Blood-soluble and highly poisonous, often encountered in hot and humid underground caverns. Most of the snakes and insects that inhabit there carry a little bit of this toxin. The biggest feature of this toxin is that the blood flow does not stop. Unless you treat the wound in a timely manner, no matter how much you try to dress the wound, it will not be possible to stop the blood from flowing out of your body.

Nords are also human beings, and the blood in their bodies is also limited. So if one is not careful, the Nords will also die under this poison. And to make sure that some unlucky ones don't die in this dishonorable way, from an early age, the shamans of various tribes teach children how to find the corresponding antidote materials.

Hiko had also received such an education, and he was glad that he had not returned this knowledge to the old shaman until now. The old shaman was not joking when he said that he was one of his best students. So just digging a few deep in his memory, he thought of a corresponding way.

"Silver cypress leaves, the bark of fragrant pine wood, the fruit of tartar fruit...... Damn, it's on the sea, where am I going to find this kind of thing. ”

Aware of the environment he was in, Hiko's face couldn't help but be gloomy. The ocean is not like a forest, and it is not so easy to find gifts in it. And with his current situation, it is really not suitable to enter the sea water rashly.

The sea water will speed up the loss of blood from his body, and the smell of blood may attract some of the ocean's predators. If it's sharks or something, it's fine, but if you attract some sea monsters, it's going to be fatal. Hiko, though confident in himself, is not yet confident enough to think that he can fight a sea monster alone in the sea. If nothing else, his water nature does not qualify for this.

It's impossible to get into the water anymore. Hikoya could only look for other solutions in this small cabin.

It is true that his holy light spell can help him remove the poison from his body, but until the last moment, he is not willing to expose this hole card of his own.

On the one hand, it was because his trust in Billy's mother and son was not enough for him to casually expose his secrets to them. On the other hand, knowing that there are still two enemies peeping in the dark, he doesn't want to startle the snake so soon.

The identity of the Assassin was so special that there was no guarantee that the people behind him would not be some kind of chaotic believers. And a dignified Imperial Earl, a member of the Duke of the Twin Blades family, would actually have something to do with the forces of chaos, as long as it is said, it will be an uproar.

In front of those Templars who made the fight against chaos their mission, let alone an earl, even the Duke of Blackthorn himself would not be pleased. Therefore, as long as he still wants to maintain his current identity, he still wants to continue to hide his relationship with chaos. He would never let his witnesses go down the ship unharmed.

That's what Hiko was thinking at this time. And this kind of thought is what the Earl of Field is most worried about. He is innocent, and he himself knows this. But the crux of the matter is that he can't prove his innocence.

Anything that has anything to do with chaos will be made a fuss, and an act like his disgrace itself will be deliberately identified by someone with a heart. No matter how much he tried to defend himself, it was impossible to explain it clearly in the end. So instead of waiting for others to come to the door because of this matter, then it is better to cut off all the clues now and strangle all threats in the cradle stage.

The two people have the same idea, but it actually stems from a beautiful misunderstanding. It's really funny to say. However, neither of the parties is aware of this, and they are still doing their own thing.

Hiko shielded Billy's mother and son behind him, and cautiously reached for the assassin's corpse.

Normally, Assassins like this usually carry something related to the venom of the snake on their weapons. Because except for those special types of toxins, most of the other highly toxic poisons will be destroyed and depleted with various conditions.

The easiest way is to put the knife on the fire and roast it, and the snake venom quenched on it will basically be grilled clean. This is related to the protein structure of most biological poisons, so I won't repeat it here. In short, you only need to remember one thing, and that is that a good assassin is absolutely impossible to just quench his weapon with poison and leave it alone.

Imagine an Assassin who was hired and planned for a long time to find an opportunity to hurt his target. I thought he would die because of the poison on his weapon. But I don't want to, because of the quenching and poison loss, the target is still jumping in front of you. Not to mention that the assassin himself can't stand this kind of thing, even the employer who has been affected by the grass and snake is afraid that he can't help but want to strangle the assassin to death.

So, as a highly specialized profession, it was impossible for most Assassins to make such a low-level mistake. They must have something relevant in them at all times. Not only the quenching poison, but also the antidote will be placed around.

After all, it is highly toxic, and no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents. If you are interested, lick the knife, and find that there is no antidote on your body, isn't that a tragic thing?

There was nothing wrong with Hiko's analysis, and after he had endured the nausea and groped around the corpse with the exploding head, he really made him dig out what he was looking for.

One is the assassin's scabbard. The inside of the short sheath of the cortex is coated with a thick layer of oil. On the one hand, this is to protect the blade from corrosion. On the other hand, it is to facilitate the quenching of the blade.

Judging by the fishy smell of the grease inside the scabbard, Hiko was almost sure of what was mixed inside. It must be the snake venom you are looking for. Able to use this method to maintain the quenching poison of the blade, this assassin can be considered creative.

The other was the ring on the Assassin's hand. The ring face can be broken open and filled with white powder. Based on what he had learned from the old shaman, Hiko was sure that the ingredients in it were the antidote he was looking for. Hiding things in this place, but fortunately I have a dog's nose.

With a self-deprecating sigh, Hiko dipped in powder and smeared it on the wound behind him. And just as he was doing so, a cold wind suddenly flowed from the inside of the cabin.
