"Kevin, wake up!" Keith shook Kevin vigorously, grasping his collar, as Kevin lay unconscious beside the headless body of the yellow-striped snake, a faint smile lingering on his face.
Kevin had been engaged in a fierce struggle with the snake for about three and a half minutes, grappling with its venomous attacks. Despite defeating it, upon its demise, instead of celebrating, he had succumbed to unconsciousness, leaving Keith deeply concerned.
"Don't worry, he's under the influence of the snake's venom. It induces hallucinations. He'll regain consciousness in a few minutes," Arya reassured Keith, observing Kevin's unconscious state with a gentle smile.
Nearby lay the headless corpse of the snake, and as Kevin's wounds began to heal on their own, a faint purple hue tinged the injuries, gradually diminishing before their eyes.
