Tachycardia, increased blood pressure, fever and sweating, swelling of extremities, pain-sensing nerve degeneration...
Todd's mind was thinking rapidly.
Combined with the parasite in the adrenal gland, these symptoms are clearly manifestations of massive secretion of adrenaline!
The battle continues.
The pain in both arms allowed the giant to regain some consciousness. He lowered his shoulders and used his right leg to sweep towards Huggins' hem.
The man's eyes widened, and he secretly thought something was wrong. He quickly removed his hands and put them in front of his chest to block this leg whip technique.
With a slight sound of bone cracking, Huggins was kicked into the air by a huge force. He hit the top of the cave with his face down and his back, and then fell heavily to the ground.
The giant opened his mouth and roared, raised his big foot and stepped hard on Huggins' head.
Todd looked horrified and wanted to stop him, but he didn't know what he could do to help. Suddenly he thought of Edgar's ghostly speed behind him, and hurriedly pointed at the man on the ground and shouted loudly: "Eh?
Degas! Help him!"
A gray afterimage passed in front of him. The moment before the giant's big foot fell, Edgar quickly rushed to Huggins' side and pulled him aside.
Boom!
Little Jerry stepped on the empty ground, and the ground shook slightly.
Looking at the giant's lower abdomen with perspective, the "leech" that was constantly expanding and contracting, Todd quickly recalled everything in his college pathology class in his mind.
When the concentration of adrenaline increases, the blood vessels in the skeletal muscles, liver, heart, and brain will dilate, so more blood will flow in and provide sufficient oxygen and nutrients, thereby greatly improving the human body's motor functions and physical attributes; another
On the other hand, adrenaline can promote glycogen and fat decomposition, inhibit insulin secretion, greatly increase the concentration of nutrients in the blood, provide a large amount of energy for exercise, and greatly enhance the body's instantaneous explosive power.
But judging from Jerry's physical appearance, too much adrenaline was secreted, which caused the body to be overburdened, the brain's awareness of self-discipline to decline, and there were even precursors to adrenaline poisoning.
Gotta find a way to cool down his adrenal glands!
Comparing the one-by-one solutions in college classes, Todd felt that things were not that simple.
There is no way to obtain nerve-blocking drugs and excitement-suppressing drugs used in medicine. Even if you can get them, getting this crazy giant to eat them is an impossible task.
However, if we only consider reducing physiological functions and slowing down blood circulation, there may be some ways...
Edgar used his shoulders to support Huggins, who had lost the ability to move. While using his speed to avoid the giant's attack, he endured the pain and weakness caused by the black gas on his shoulders, his heavy breathing and pale face.
If it doesn't, it means that this child can't hold on for much longer.
Todd shouted towards the two of them: "Hudgens! Edgar! Is there a cold place near here?"
Struggling to take out the gloves from his waist and put them on again, Huggins said softly to the people around him.
Edgar nodded, helped the man and ran out of the cave.
The three people who escaped for their lives were in the underground cave, with the giant chasing behind them, dodging left and right, and finally came to a natural underground river.
Following the people in front, Little Jerry jumped into the river. Due to the freezing cold water temperature, his movements became slower and slower. Finally, with a low roar, he passed out beside the river.
Todd was trembling with cold as the cold air invaded his body. He gradually lost consciousness due to hunger and cold.
——————————————————————
I don't know how much time has passed.
Todd slowly opened his eyes, and a large rough hand was placed on his forehead, and warm power flowed from the top of his head throughout his body.
"He's awake!"
Huggins' usual loud voice sounded first.
Todd's thinking couldn't keep up with reality: "I'm..."
His left arm was wrapped in a wooden board and bandages. The Slavic man scratched the back of his head and said with joy on his face: "Praise Heavenly Father! It's been a long time, and you finally woke up!"
Master Mairis retracted his palm and glanced sideways at Huggins, causing him to shut his mouth immediately.
Slowly sitting up, Todd looked around. Master Miles, Huggins, Edgar, and Little Jerry all came to him, looking at him with concern.
After the teacher admonished the students and the students promised not to mess around again, Master Miles announced that classes would be suspended for these two days, and Todd concentrated on cultivating his body.
After the old man left the room, Huggins and Edgar visibly breathed a sigh of relief. One found a chair and sat down on his own, while the other leaned against the corner and sat cross-legged on the ground. Only little Jerry was left bent over.
With his head raised to the ceiling, he stood respectfully beside the bed.
Looking at this emaciated eighteen-year-old youth with a timid face, Todd could not connect him with the violent and ferocious giant in the cave.
Shaking his head, he asked the others: "Are you all okay?"
Huggins pointed to his arm with a wry smile, and then touched his back with a painful expression. Edgar twisted his shoulders and bared his teeth.
Todd paused and wanted to ask what was going on in the underground cave, but he didn't know where to start.
Huggins looked at his expression and probably guessed something, so he simply explained to him directly: "Master Mairis once told you that we are all alien species. I think it won't be a big deal to tell you the truth about us now.
It’s a big deal.”
As he spoke, he took off the glove on one hand. A faint black energy slowly spread from the palm of the man's hand. Huggins looked at the palm and sighed: "My alien ability is weak. Any creature touched by my hands will be destroyed."
It will slowly lose vitality and die of exhaustion."
The man who put on his gloves again pointed his finger at Edgar: "This boy's ability is speed. His speed is even faster than a war horse running at full strength."
Turning his attention to Little Jerry, the man felt the throbbing pain in his back and said angrily: "This guy's ability is violent. In a short period of time, he can obtain several times the strength, speed, and pain of ordinary people."
Resistance, 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 a violent state every once in a while. It used to be a month, but then it became shorter and shorter.
It’s been three days now.”
Twisting his neck, Huggins continued: "Last night was his violent moment. Originally, we planned to trap him in chains underground and let him pat the wall, stamp his feet, and vent for a while.
