Alien Knights

Tachycardia, increased blood pressure, fever and sweating, swelling of extremities, degeneration of pain-sensing nerves...

Todd's mind was racing.

Combined with the parasite on the adrenal gland, these symptoms are clearly the manifestation of a large amount of adrenaline secretion!

The battle continues.

The pain in his arms brought the giant back to a sliver of consciousness, and he slumped his shoulders, sweeping towards Huggins' hem with his right leg instead.

The man's eyes widened, and his secret path was not good, so he quickly withdrew his hands and put them on his chest to block the whip.

Accompanied by the sound of a slight bone crack, Huggins was kicked into the air with great force, hit the ceiling of the cave with his face down and his back up, and then fell heavily to the ground.

The giant opened its mouth and roared, raised its big foot, and stomped heavily on Huggins' head.

Todd looked terrified and wanted to stop him, but he didn't know what he could do to help. Suddenly thinking of Edgar's ghostly speed behind him, he pointed at the man on the ground and shouted loudly, "Edgar! Help him!"

A gray afterimage passed in front of him, and Edgar rushed to Huggins' side just before the giant's big foot fell, and dragged him aside.

Boom!

Little Jerry stepped on the empty ground, and the ground shook slightly.

Looking at the lower abdomen of the giant through perspective, the "leech" that was constantly expanding and contracting, Todd quickly recalled everything in the pathology class at the university in his mind.

When the concentration of adrenaline rises, the blood vessels of skeletal muscle, liver, heart, and brain will dilate, so more blood will flow in and provide enough oxygen and nutrients, thereby greatly improving the body's exercise function and physical attributes;

But judging from the appearance of Jerry's body, the secretion of adrenaline is too much, causing the body to be overburdened, the brain's sense of self-discipline has declined, and there are even signs of adrenaline poisoning.

Gotta figure out a way to cool his adrenals down!

Comparing the one after another handling methods in the university classroom, Todd felt that things were not so simple.

There is no way to obtain the nerve blocking agents and antiexcitatory drugs used in medicine. Even if it could be obtained, it would be an impossible task for this crazy giant to eat it.

However, if it is only considered to reduce physiological functions and slow down blood circulation, there may be some ways...

Edgar supported Huggins, who was incapacitated, on his shoulders. While using his speed to avoid the giant's attack, he endured the pain and weakness caused by the black gas. His heavy breathing and pale face all showed that this child could not last long.

Todd yelled at the two: "Hudgens! Edgar! Is there a cold place around here?"

Struggling to take out the gloves from his waist and put them on again, Huggins spoke softly to the people around him.

Edgar nodded, and helped the man run out of the cave.

The three fleeing for their lives led the giant who was chasing after them in the underground cave, dodging left and right, and finally came to a natural underground river.

Without the slightest hesitation, Todd was the first to jump into the underground river.

Following the people in front, Jerry, who jumped into the river, moved more and more slowly because of the freezing water temperature, and finally fell into a coma in the river with a low growl.

As for Todd, who was trembling from the cold and was invaded by the cold, gradually lost consciousness in the hunger and cold.

———————————————————

I don't know how long it has passed.

Todd slowly opened his eyes, a big rough hand was placed on his forehead, and warm power flowed from the top of his head to his whole body.

"He's awake!"

Edgar's usual loud voice sounded first.

Todd's thinking couldn't keep up with reality: "I'm..."

With his left arm wrapped in boards and bandages, Huggins scratched the back of his head and said with joy, "Praise Heavenly Father! It's been a long time, and you're finally awake!"

Master Meris withdrew his palm, and glanced sideways at Huggins, which made him shut his mouth immediately.

Slowly sitting up, Todd looked around. Master Melis, Huggins, Edgar, and Jerry all came to him and looked at him with concern.

After the teacher admonished and the students promised not to mess around again, Master Myris announced that the schoolwork for the two days would be suspended, and Todd concentrated on cultivating his body and so on.

After the old man left the room, Huggins and Edgar were visibly relieved. One found a chair and sat down on his own, while the other leaned against a corner and sat cross-legged on the ground. Only little Jerry was left alone, bending his head against the ceiling, standing respectfully beside the bed.

Looking at this 18-year-old young man who was as thin as a bamboo pole with a timid face, Todd couldn't connect him with the violent and ferocious giant in the cave.

Shaking his head, he asked the others, "Are you all okay?"

Huggins smiled wryly and pointed to his arm, then patted his back in pain. Edgar twisted his shoulders and grinned.

Todd paused, wanting to ask what happened to the underground cave, but he didn't know where to start.

Looking at his expression, Huggins probably guessed something, and simply explained to him directly: "Master Meris once told you that we are all aliens. I think it should not be a big deal to tell you the truth about us now."

While speaking, he took off the glove on one hand, and a faint black air slowly radiated from the palm of the man. Huggins looked at the palm and sighed: "My alien ability is weakened. Any creature touched by my hands will slowly lose vitality and die of exhaustion."

The man who put on his gloves again pointed to Edgar: "This kid's ability is speed, and his speed is even faster than a galloping horse."

Turning his gaze to Little Jerry, the man felt the throbbing pain in his back, and said angrily: "This guy's ability is berserk. In a short period of time, he can gain strength, speed, and pain resistance several times that of ordinary people, but he will lose his mind and attack people around him at will. Once the time is over, he will fall into a coma. Moreover, he will automatically enter the berserk state every once in a while. It used to be a month, and then it became shorter and shorter, all the way to the current three days."

Twisting his neck, Huggins continued: "Last night was his berserk time. Originally, we planned to trap him underground with iron chains, let him slap the wall, stomp his feet, vent for a while, and it was over. Unexpectedly, you found it..."

Todd looked depressed.

I guess curiosity killed the cat.
