Chapter 808 Scared Stiff

Nathan hesitated for a moment, but quickly collected himself.

"Snakes! Of course, I'm using this branch to ward off snakes! The ecosystem on Golden Light Hill is so rich, there must be plenty of poisonous snakes. Walking at night, you need a branch in hand to scare them away. If we get bitten by a snake and can't get antivenom in time, we could die! And if we come across tall grass, I'll use the branch to rustle it and check for snakes."

"Nathan! Swinging that branch around, you might not scare away any snakes, but you could definitely attract ghosts. If you spook a ghost, it might come for you-latch onto your throat, drink your blood, eat your flesh, and snatch your soul! You'd die on the spot!" Daniel warned with a hint of mischief.

Nathan responded with a dismissive chuckle.

"Hah!"

Coldly, he shot back, "You think I'm some gullible kid? There are no ghosts in this world! Golden Light Hill is ghost-free. The only threat here is snakes poisonous snakes. I suggest you guys follow my lead and carry a branch. Otherwise, if you get bitten by a snake, you'll regret it! The most dangerous one around here is the king cobra.

"Do you know what a king cobra is? If it bites you, you're dead. Look at this environment, our situation. If you got bitten by a king cobra, even getting to the nearest hospital would take hours-you'd be dead already."

Nathan's warning scared Brittany. She was absolutely terrified of snakes.

With a look of horror on her face, Brittany turned to Daniel and asked seriously, "Hick, are there really snakes on Golden Light Hill?"

"Of course."

"King cobras?"

"Yep! King cobras are native to Golden Light Hill. There are probably hundreds of thousands of them up here. Each one is lethally poisonous. But the notion that a bite will kill you in half an hour is a bit exaggerated!"

"Do you know how toxic a king cobra bite is? How long would it really take to die from one?" Brittany asked, her fear intensifying.

"Heh heh heh..." Daniel chuckled before replying, "Brittany, don't worry. As long as I'm here, even if a king cobra bites you, I can neutralize the venom. I guarantee you won't die!"

"You can neutralize the venom? How?" Brittany asked, intrigued but still frightened.

"If you're bitten by a snake, the first thing you need to do is suck out the venom. Then, replace any nearby herbs known to treat snake venom, chew them up, and apply them to the wound. If the venom is thoroughly sucked out and the herbs are applied, you'll be fine." Ebookex.com

"You'd suck the venom out of me?" Brittany questioned.

"Uh..." Daniel besitated before saying, "That depends on where the king cobra bites you. In some places, I'd use my mouth to extract the venom.

But in other places, I definitely wouldn't, because I wouldn't want me!"

you to take advantage of

Reluctantly, Brittany smiled despite her fear. Daniel's confident and casual demeanor somehow made her feel a bit more secure.

Meanwhile, Nathan just rolled eyes, still gripping his branch tightly, convinced that only he had the logical and practical approach to their night on Golden Light Hill.
