"Can you detoxify him?" Birch quickly asked. Although he didn't like Lunke's style, he understood Lunke's importance and irreplaceable after Captain Barrow's teachings. Besides, they were very weak. If they were found, Lunke would be the only one who could deal with the pursuers.
"Yes, little flea, can you detoxify him?" Barrow also hurried over.
Little flea was silent for a moment and shook his head. "I can't detoxify him before I can determine the type of poison. Besides, even if I do know the type of poison, I can't detoxify him without the herbs and experimental tools. "
"In other words, Mr. Lunke … can't be saved?"
Little flea looked at the pale Lunke and fell silent.
Lunke said, "You … you're little flea, right? Can I call you little flea too? Just tell me the answer. If, if I'm going to die, at least I have time to leave my last words. "
Little flea didn't speak. Instead, he pondered for a moment and took out his stethoscope. He leaned on Lunke's chest and listened carefully to his heartbeat.
After a long while, little flea said, "The sound of blood flowing in his veins is as loud as a flood. Maybe he can be saved. "
Birch's eyes lit up. "Really?"
Little flea nodded. "Mr. Lunke's body is very strong. Even if it's poison, it will take some time to completely invade his body. During this time, if we can find the corresponding poison, I can make an antidote. But … "
Little flea paused and lowered his head. He suddenly fell silent.
Birch said anxiously, "But what?"
Barrow patted Birch's shoulder. "Little flea means that if we want to save Lunke, we have to find the person who poisoned him, and then we have to find the corresponding medical tools. That is to say — "
"We have to go back to Dock No. 1."
Go back … Birch was stunned. They had just escaped from Dock No. 1. Now they had to go back? How? They only had a few people, and Barrow was injured and Lunke was poisoned. How could they kill them?
Barrow obviously knew Birch very well. He knew what he was thinking when he saw the confused expression on his face.
"There's definitely no way to kill our way back now. The only thing we can do now is to wait … wait for them to leave before quickly returning to the Moonlight Picture Bird. There's some medical equipment on the ship. Let's see if it can delay Lunke's injury. Then, we will lead the others and kill our way back to dock number one! "
Birch asked, "Is that the only way?"
Barrow nodded. "There's no other way. It's impossible for the few of us to break into Dock 1."
Burch: "But, but can we really defeat Sir Man?"
Barrow: "Even if we can't win, we have to fight. This is the only way. The most important thing now is not whether we can defeat Sir Man, but whether Mr. Lunke can hold on for that long. "
Everyone looked at Lunke.
Lunke: "I don't want to die. I'll try to hold on …"
Barrow looked deeply at Lunke. After a long time, he sighed and said, "You, why did you want to follow us today? If you hadn't come …"
Birch added, "If Mr. Lunke hadn't come, we would be dead."
"It's all thanks to Mr. Lunke this time. But I didn't expect the people on the Blood Destroyer to be so insidious. They actually used poison." Birch looked angry.
Just a while ago, they had gone to see that woman, but they had accidentally been discovered. Fifty to sixty percent of the people on the Blood Destroyer ship had come out. At that time, only Birch and Barrow were surrounded by the people on the Blood Destroyer ship. Birch was so scared that he almost peed his pants. He thought that he was going to die here today. At this critical moment of life and death, Lunke had descended from the sky and fought against a hundred enemies alone, saving them.
They thought that they could escape without any worries, but they didn't expect such an accident.
Lunke turned to look at Birch. "If you're grateful to me, remember what I'm going to say next …"
Birch was dumbfounded. "Huh?"
Lunke's pale lips curled up slightly. "Last words."
"If I die, I hope you can remember my words and help me do one thing. If you don't die, it's a different story. "
Without waiting for Birch's agreement, Lunke began to say his last words in a trembling and soft voice.
Lunke's last words weren't very passionate. He simply described his life and his dreams that might die before he could realize them. In the end, he made a simple request to Birch. If Birch had a chance to leave Ghost Dock Island, he had to send the news of his death to his distant family.
Everyone heard Lunke's last words and didn't say anything.
The air was heavy. No one knew if it was because of the airflow in the stone or because everyone was depressed.
Lunke smiled and turned to Barrow. "Captain Barrow, I haven't asked you yet. Why did you come to Dock Number One this time?"
It didn't matter if Lunke knew the answer or not. He only asked to ease the atmosphere.
"To see a woman." Birch lowered his head and blamed himself. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have encouraged the captain."
Lunke said, "The woman the captain was carrying before? Oh, I was curious just now. Who is this woman? The captain seems to treat her differently. "
Birch and Little Flea also looked over. They had wanted Captain Barrow to give up on this woman in such an emergency, but Barrow had refused without hesitation. It was obvious that he had special feelings for this woman.
Barrow's throat moved. "You'd better shut up now. Don't talk, or the poison will enter your body faster."
Lunke's pale face had an almost identical smile. "Even if I die, can't you let me die with some understanding?"
Barrow was silent for a moment. He sighed and nodded gently. "Okay, I'll tell you who she is."
Barrow turned to look at the unconscious woman behind him. A trace of fanaticism and worship flashed in his eyes. "You all know that I was a pirate before I joined the Moonlight Turing. But you might not know why I became a pirate. "
Birch asked, "Why?"
Barrow said, "Because I wanted to follow her. Not only did I become a pirate because of her, but I also left because of her. "
Little Flea was also curious about this woman's identity. "Who exactly is she?"
Barrow said, "You might have heard of her name. She's the uncrowned king of the Blackberry Sea, Asbel."
"Asbel?" Lunke chewed on the name. "I feel like I've heard of her before."
Little Flea thought for a moment. "I think I've heard of her before, but I can't remember."
Asbel, Asbel.
Barrow said, "She's the pirate king I admire the most. She's also my spiritual belief. So, no matter what, I won't abandon her …"
Before Barrow could finish his sentence, the ground suddenly started to rise and fall.
Everyone immediately stopped thinking. Little Flea made a "shh" gesture and said softly, "Stop talking. It seems like they're coming."
"As long as we keep quiet, they shouldn't notice anything."
Everyone nodded and fell silent.
The air instantly became quiet. The only thing that could be heard was their thumping hearts.
The sound of footsteps came and went outside. For the people hiding in the stone cave, the short few seconds seemed to have been elongated countless times.
They wouldn't be discovered. Definitely. Burch put his palms together and prayed.
It wasn't just Burch. The others were also secretly praying.
They had cleaned up the traces outside. Even the bloodstains had disappeared with the water. There shouldn't be a problem. That was what they thought.
Things had indeed happened as they thought. Some of the footsteps had reached the stone, but in the end, they didn't discover anything unusual and gradually faded away.
"There's nothing around here. They must be further inside. Let's continue searching!" someone shouted.
Following a series of echoes, they could clearly hear that the tremors on the ground began to recede, and the sound of footsteps also became softer.
It seemed that they had escaped this time.
Everyone looked at each other, their faces filled with the joy of surviving a calamity.
However, it was still too early for them to be happy. Just as the footsteps were about to fade away, a voice suddenly rang out. "Vice-captain? Why are you here? I just heard a noise from Dock 1, and there was also a fire. Did something happen? "
"I see. So you're looking for them. Hehe, I know where they are. "
When the voice said these words, the eyes of the people in the stone cave flashed with confusion. Who was the person who spoke?
At this moment, Barrow seemed to have thought of something and whispered, "I think it's Half Ear."
Previously, he had tricked Half Ear into the forest and then sneaked into the dock. He didn't expect Half Ear to appear here.
Why did he say that he knew where they were? Could it be that he saw something?
Just as everyone was puzzled, the footsteps rang out again and were getting closer. "When I was wandering in the forest just now, I happened to see them go into the stone. Right, the leader is Little Flea, our ship's doctor. "
The moment he finished speaking, there was a lot of questioning outside. However, everyone in the stone cave was pale.
Half Ear was telling the truth!
He had really found their tracks!
Barrow's face was especially pale because he was the one who had tricked half an ear into the forest. Karma had reversed, and in the end, half an ear had become the straw that crushed them.
"What do we do?" Burch was so scared that tears almost flowed out of his eyes. Especially when he heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, it was like the Grim Reaper was inviting him to die with a scythe.
Little Flea's face was also very ugly. Although he had long wanted to betray Sir Man, he didn't expect to face the Blood Destroyer as a traitor at this moment.
He knew too well how Sir Man dealt with traitors.
For a moment, Barrow fell into self-blame. Burch and Little Flea were scared out of their wits. However, Lunke's expression didn't change. He already thought of himself as a dying man.
Lunke looked at the others and sighed softly. He forced himself to sit up. "When I was in the Knight Academy, I learned a secret technique that can block all pain and burn one's will, instantly reaching the peak of one's strength."
"So, leave the rest to me. You just need to escape. "
Barrow looked at Lunke with a puzzled expression. "Lunke nodded his head and took out his sword. He pried open the hilt and took out a red pill from within.
"This is it. This is the medicine to activate the secret technique. As long as I eat it, I should be able to resist for a few minutes and buy time for you to escape."
Barrow asked, "Since it's a secret technique, what are the side effects?"
Lunke avoided the question. "To me, the side effects don't matter."
Little Flea looked at the red pill and smelled the pungent smell in the air. He frowned slightly. "I think I've heard of this medicine."
"This is a poisonous product … I've heard of it before. It's highly toxic, but after eating it, you'll become very excited as if you've gone crazy. But after the effect ends, you'll definitely die, "Little Flea said." This is an absolutely forbidden medicine in our industry. "
Barrow asked, "Is this true?"
Lunke didn't expect Little Flea to be able to recognize the source of the medicine. Since he was recognized, he didn't hide it and nodded.
"Little Flea is right. It's a miracle medicine that burns one's will, but it's also a poison that erodes one's consciousness. If I use it, I won't have any chance of survival. "
"However, even if I don't use it, my chances of survival are very small. If you use it, you'll at least have a chance of survival. "
Lunke looked at the crowd. "I've given you my last words. I'm still waiting for you to bring the news of my death back. So, you can't die."
Just as the crowd was about to say something, they saw a commotion and the rocks above their heads were lifted.
The light from the torches shone in.
"Hahahaha, I've found you, little bugs!"
Following waves of ridicule and all sorts of malicious words, everyone was completely exposed.
Faced with layers upon layers of pursuers, everyone except Lunke was scared out of their wits. Birch even felt that his legs were a little wet.
What to do, what to do? Birch looked around helplessly. In the end, he could only look at Lunke.
"Lunke, it doesn't feel good to be poisoned, right? Hehe, if you weren't poisoned, we wouldn't have dared to chase you. But who told you to be careless? "
"Lord Man has ordered us to kill them all!"
"Oh, right. Don't touch that woman. Bring her back. And Little Flea, don't kill him either. Let Lord Man personally teach him what it means to live a life worse than death. "
Amidst the clamor, the large group approached step by step.
Despair flashed across the eyes of the crowd who were huddled up in the rocks.
Seeing this, the mocking voices around them became louder.
In order to make them even more fearful, most of the people in the group even slowed down a little in order to create more psychological pressure.
At this moment, Lunke sighed softly.
He used his sword to push himself up from the ground.
"Your opponent is me."
Looking at the trembling Lunke who could barely stand straight, the crowd burst into laughter.
Lunke didn't care about the mocking voices. He turned his head and said softly to Birch and the others, "You must survive. Leave this godforsaken island alive. "
The moment he finished speaking, Lunke took the pill and swallowed it.
Two seconds later, Lunke's eyes turned red. His skin started to turn red and sweat started to form.
An incomparably violent aura was emitted from Lunke's body.
At this moment, everyone was stunned. They didn't feel like they were facing a sickly person, but a ferocious beast from the ancient times!
Lunke took a deep breath and controlled the energy that surged out of his body. He dragged his knight sword and walked forward step by step.
His aura was stacked. When it reached its peak, Lunke was like a proud lone wolf. He raised his head and charged into the group of Blood Destroyers …
