Chapter: 19
In the end, he won the battle against poison.
He managed to hold on to his life, but the result did not come easily.
He overcame the poison, but most of his internal organs, muscles, and nerves were damaged. He will recover to its original state over time.�
He has no energy to move right now but he forced himself to. Pyo-wol crawled towards the only door leading to the outside.
A plate of food was placed in front of the iron gate.
His mouth was dry and he couldn�t feel any taste, but he had to eat something to survive.
Pyo-wol crawled like the snake that poisoned him.
After crawling for a while, Pyo-wol, who barely reached the iron gate, hurriedly put his face into the plate. As he licked the food, Pyo-wol murmured.
�I won�t die. No matter what!�
His eyes, now bright red in the darkness.
Pyo-wol glanced at the snake passing near him.
It was the one responsible for biting his wrist. He almost died because of the snake�s venom. But he felt no animosity.�
The cold reptile was the first one to settle down in this underground space earlier than him. If anything, Pyo-wol was the one intruding.�
Pyo-wol did not particularly hate or fear the snake since it did it out of survival. The snake had to bite for it to live.�
The snake slaughtered a large insect at the corner where Pyo-wol usually deposited his feces.�
While his eyes had slowly adapted to the darkness, he had never seen so clearly as he does now. It seemed that some change had taken place inside his body when he fought against the poison that penetrated him.�
�Is this poison tolerance?�
He had heard of stories of people becoming stronger from surviving after being poisoned before.
Pyo-wol thought that it would be the case for himself.
The problem was that not only did he gain resistance to poison, some changes have also taken place in his body. It seemed that the poison had a synergistic effect and affected his eyesight.
There was only one way to confirm his guess.
Pyo-wol caught the body of the snake that was eating an insect and returned to where he was prior.�
The captured snake immediately opened its mouth wide and dug its fangs at the back of Pyo-wol�s hand.
The effect was immediate.
He could feel the heat rising from the back of his hand. It was enough proof that the poison had started to penetrate his body.
Pyo-wol prepared for the pain by gritting his teeth. Having resistance to the poison did not diminish the pain at all.�
Like Pyo-Wol predicted, he could feel the excruciating pain at the site of the snake�s bite. Scorching heat rushed through his veins as if it was trying to burn his whole body.
It was painful.
He almost regretted his decision. But the pain was more bearable than he thought.
The first bite had left him completely paralyzed, while the second time did not. Sure, it was still painful, but he can still endure it.� JrNovels.com
