"The poisoned blood will travel to the heart faster if he is lying down," Lara said calmly.
"Do you think I need to cut some more to let out the poisoned blood?" Alaric sought her eyes and asked helplessly.
"He had already bled a lot. It might harm him." She wanted to say that what he did previously was more harmful, but looking at his forlorn look, she swallowed her words.
She moved to the other soldier who had also been bitten, washed the wound with soap and water, and placed the turmeric salve over it. She noticed that his wound was shallow. The thick materials of his trousers saved him. The snake's fangs did not penetrate deeply, so only a small amount of venom was injected. He should be alright.
