Since he couldn't activate the Fighting Crane's power to resist the toxins, Zachary had no choice but to give in to the poisonous vines' grip. As they wrapped around him tighter and tighter, liberal amounts of venom from the vines penetrated into his limbs. It made a steady stream of toxin coursing on his entire body.
Although the vines were noxious, Zachary could clearly tell the stark difference from the one in the poison array compared to the current venom in him.
