Chapter 130: Hyang (2)
"So-ryong! So-ryong!"
"Ryo!? Wake up! Why is he suddenly like this again?"
Just as So-ryong was about to fall into the campfire, his arms and neck shot forward, caught by two outstretched hands and spider silk.
Hwa-eun and Seol, on either side, grabbed So-ryong's arms, while Yo-hwa, who was behind him, shot spider silk to stop his body.
The first thing Hwa-eun checked was So-ryong's eyes.
Before So-ryong ate the white ants, Hwa-eun had checked his condition twice, unsure whether he had become unconscious due to some other reason, or whether he had been paralyzed by poison.
Thus, she quickly opened his eyelids and checked his eyes, which appeared hazy and unfocused.
If he had fainted, his sclera would have been visible, and if he had been paralyzed, his eyes should have shown some life. But So-ryong’s eyes behind his closed eyelids were clouded, as though his soul had left him.
"Why?"
"Could it be poison?"
"No, I don't think it's poison. I checked twice before he ate, and he doesn’t seem to be showing signs of poisoning now either."
