The Black Venom Cultist fell to the ground as blood spurted from his neck. He writhed, clutching at the ruptured blood vessels in a desperate attempt to stem the bleeding, but to no avail. In any case, it was redundant.
Si Nan finished him off with a sword to his heart, stabbing him from behind. The Black Venom Cultist's eyes rolled up in his head before he toppled over.
"Huff…huff…"
Kneeling on the ground, Si Nan panted. That was a dangerous battle. He had to put every ounce of energy into evading. Just a single hit and he would have died. That was just how close the battle was.
Several venom darts were embedded deeply in the trunks of nearby trees, collateral damage of their fierce battle. Already the trees were withering and decaying, victims to the toxins. It was strange – normally, poisons should only affect certain species. What was poisonsous to animals and humans were not necessarily poisonous to plants and trees.
