HISSSS!!!
The serpent started slithering towards them, while they laid withering on the ground in pain. the poison had started numbing their bodies and they were not in the condition to retaliate.
Vanter and Jordan stood up gingerly. They picked up their axe and shield from the ground, ready to rush at their teammates anytime.
"What are you two doing? You're not in the condition to fight right now!" Ruby chided the two of them.
"H-How can we…stay still, when our c-captains and friends are in t-trouble." Jordan said, somehow forcing the words out, with his chest held, which was yet to heal.
"You're right f-for the first time…weakling." Vanter said with a smirk.
"What can you even do? You're just going to die in this condition!"
"What do you want then!?" Vanter yelled out. "Should we just watch while that serpent eats all of them?"
"I'll go. I have to save my brother anyway. And I'm not injured." Ruby said with a determined look.
