Chapter 2356 Poison

Ghost Dock Island.

Dock No. 1, which had been peaceful for many years, suddenly caught fire. The flames shot straight into the sky, even driving away some of the drifting fog. Therefore, people in other docks noticed this scene.

Dock No. 4, a group of people came to the deck of the Moonlight Bird.

"The flames shooting up into the sky... that direction seems to be Dock No. 1?"

"It's Boss Man's territory, is there a fire?"

"No matter how stupid Boss Man is, he can't even take some fire prevention measures. I have a hunch that Dock No. 1 may have earth-shaking changes tonight." The speaker was the navigator of the Moonlight Bird. He looked at the Mars in the distant sky, which could not be covered by fog, and said softly.

"Oh, what do you mean?" someone asked, and others looked at the navigator.

People who hang around on the sea often have faith in navigators. Navigators observe the sky and ocean currents to guide the direction of the ship. This ability even has the flavor of a prophet or a prophet to those who don't understand it.

Therefore, when the navigator spoke and said such mysterious words, it still attracted everyone's attention.

"Could it be that the sir has predicted something?"

The navigator pondered for a moment, posing a posture, and then opened his mouth in the expectation of everyone: "Actually it's very simple, because when I came from the river before, I saw Captain Barrow sneaking to Dock No. 1."

Everyone: "..."

"You mean, the fire in Dock No. 1 was set by Captain Barrow?"

"I know Captain Barrow is ambitious about Dock No. 1, but he doesn't have the courage to do it alone."

"Yes, it's not that we don't believe it, does Captain Barrow have such a great ability?"

Seeing that everyone was talking and showing disbelief, the navigator shook his head: "If it was just Captain Barrow alone, he might not have caused such damage. But look around yourself, is there anyone missing?"

Everyone turned around to look for him.

Soon after, someone hesitated and said, "Why didn't I see Mr. Renko?"

After a few seconds of silence, a heated discussion broke out on the deck: "Could it be that Mr. Renko followed Captain Barrow to set fire?"

"It doesn't seem like it. Doesn't Mr. Renko never take the initiative to attack other docks?"

"Not taking the initiative is because of abiding by the Knight's Code. What is the most important thing in the Knight's Code? Justice! Mr. Renko punishes the evil Mandarin on behalf of justice. Isn't this also in line with the code?"

"That's what I said, but before..."

"Don't argue. I think the navigator is right. I just saw Mr. Renko leave. The direction is Dock No. 1!"

After the voice fell, everyone looked at each other, with a hint of forbearance in their eyes.

Captain Barrow went alone, and they didn't believe that he could cause any harm to the Mandarin. But Mr. Renko is different. He is a knight with unfathomable strength. Even if his strength cannot challenge the entire Dock No. 1 alone, he can still do some damage with Captain Barrow. Moreover, the people in Dock No. 1 are all scattered. Mr. Lenko can kill the Mandarin and directly threaten Dock No. 1 with a decapitation action!

Thinking of this, everyone was a little excited. Dock No. 4 where they lived was not the best place after all, and even the land was not fertile enough. They actually coveted Dock No. 1, but they were embarrassed to express it before.

If they could really occupy Dock No. 1, they would definitely be very happy.

While everyone was imagining, a trace of worry flashed in the eyes of the navigator. Others were still a little optimistic. The "earth-shaking changes" he mentioned actually referred not only to Dock No. 1, but also to their Dock No. 4. What if Mr. Lenko was defeated by the other party? Or he made a mistake and fell into a trap? After all, no matter how powerful Mr. Lenko was, he was just an ordinary person.

Without Mr. Lenko, Dock No. 4 would probably become a fish.

The navigator didn't want to tell everyone about this guess. He could only look at the place with blazing fire in the distance and pray secretly.

At the same time, near Dock No. 1.

Several figures quickly escaped from the firelight. The one walking in front was Lenko holding a knight's rapier, followed by Barrow and Little Burch. On Barrow's back, there was an unconscious woman.

At first glance, the few people seemed to be fine, but if you look closely, you will find that both Barrow and Little Burch are covered with scars of various sizes. Among them, Little Burch's arm was twisted at a weird angle, and it was obviously broken.

Lenko currently looks the best, but they have only run a few steps out of Dock No. 1, and Lenko has some abnormal reactions.

Lenko's figure suddenly staggered, and half of his foot knelt on the ground.

"Are you injured?" Barrow immediately rushed forward and wanted to help Lenko up.

"No... nothing, continue..." Lenko refused Barrow's help, and struggled to stand up with sweat all over his head, but just after standing up, he was unstable again and fell directly to the ground.

Barrow looked back at the dock in the firelight, vaguely saw a group of black shadows rushing out from it, and heard the sound of fighting.

He gritted his teeth, ignored Lenko's refusal, stepped forward and directly pulled Lenko's arm, and quickly rushed into the forest.

While dragging Lenko, he also carried another on his back, and he had fought in the dock before, so Barrow's physical strength could not keep up.

After walking a few steps, he was out of breath.

Birch behind him was sweating all over his head. He wanted to help Captain Barrow share the pressure, but his hand was broken and he couldn't use any strength at all. He had already used up all his strength to run.

There were pursuers behind them again. Now they were exhausted and still far away from Dock No. 4... What should they do now?

When Birch was about to cry, he suddenly heard a familiar whistle in his ear.

Barrow also heard it, and they looked in the direction of the sound.

But they saw a little head sneaking out from behind a big tree not far away. When he saw Barrow and others, his eyes flashed with joy.

"Little flea!" Birch recognized the other party's identity at a glance. It was his best friend who grew up with him wearing the same pants as him since childhood, and he was also the ship doctor in Dock No. 1.

The little flea ran over and looked back. Although he didn't see any figure, the shouting and chasing sound had been heard. It was estimated that it would catch up in one or two minutes at most.

Burch: "Little Flea, why are you here?"

The little flea made a "hush" gesture to him, and then quickly whispered: "They are catching up, you guys come with me, I know there is a hidden stone cave nearby."

They had no other way at this time, and they couldn't run back to Dock No. 4 if they continued to run. Barrow thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

So the little flea led the way in front, and they followed behind.

However, the shouting behind them still did not stop, and even got closer and closer.

"I feel they are behind us, what should I do?" Burch said anxiously.

The little flea was also anxious. After all, he was a doctor on the Broken Blood. If he was discovered, the punishment he received might be more terrible than Burch and the others, because the Mandarin hated traitors the most.

The little flea quickly ran over, looked at the ground, and said: "It's blood! The bloodstains exposed the whereabouts."

After speaking, the little flea looked at everyone.

Although Burch's hand was broken, there was no bleeding. Although Lenko's face was pale and there were beads of sweat on his forehead, his exposed skin had no scars at all, let alone bleeding.

Captain Barrow had many scars on his body, and some of them bled, but the blood was not much, and it was impossible for it to fall on the ground and form bloodstains.

Finally, Little Flea's eyes fell on the woman on Captain Barrow's back.

He had seen this one-armed woman, who was the one who drifted from the open sea in the daytime. Her appearance was really amazing, and her beauty, charm and heroic spirit were mixed together. As long as the eyes were not blind, anyone who saw her would find it difficult to forget her.

At that time, when the woman was brought to the dock, Mandarin immediately called Little Flea to treat her injuries.

So Little Flea knew very well that this woman had wounds all over her body, and the largest wound was on the shoulder blade, which was as big as a bowl. During the day, Little Flea had treated all her wounds, but at this time, after a while of dragging, the gauze on the woman's shoulder had been damaged, and blood oozed out again, dripping on the ground.

There is no doubt that the woman's blood was the reason why they were locked.

Birch also found the blood flowing out, and he looked at Barrow: "Captain, should we leave her here first?"

No matter how beautiful a woman is, is her life more important than theirs? Birch thought so, and he also believed that with Barrow's character, he would definitely see life as the highest.

Even Lenko, who was dragged by Barrow, thought that Barrow would choose to give up this woman.

However, Barrow's choice was completely different from what they imagined. He said without hesitation: "No, she must not stay here, let alone leave it to those beasts!"

"But now she is dragging us down." Birch said anxiously, not only dragging them down, but also dragging Little Flea down, which he didn't want to see.

"Then I'll carry her on my back. Anyway, I will never let her go." Barrow's eyes flashed with determination, and his voice was sonorous and powerful.

Barrow's voice was not only conveyed to Birch and Little Flea, but the woman on his back also moved her ears.

On the other side, the people who heard Barrow's answer frowned. They wanted to ask Barrow if he was possessed and why he suddenly became a different person. But now time is tight, and it's hard to say anything.

Birch looked at Little Flea helplessly.

Little Flea was silent for a moment: "There is a small river nearby. We walk along the river, maybe we can delay for a while. Besides, the hiding place I mentioned is also near the river."

"Then do it!" Barrow said without hesitation.

Little Flea wanted to say something to Captain Barrow, but looking at his unwavering eyes, he still didn't speak, and continued to walk to the front to lead the way.

Not long after, they successfully arrived at the river.

They stepped directly into the river.

Birch looked back while walking.

Perhaps they were lucky. They walked along the river bank for a few more minutes, and the shouting behind them became smaller and smaller, and finally almost disappeared.

At this time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, the little flea brought them to a big stone. He fiddled with something, and a crack appeared under the stone that didn't look abnormal from the outside. When they got in, they found that there was a hollow area inside the stone. Although it was not big, it was enough to accommodate them temporarily.

The little flea rushed back and forth to block the crack in the stone, and then he felt that everything was fine.

However, what Little Flea didn't know was that when he blocked the crack in the stone, a figure came out of the forest in the distance.

"Our ship's doctor, it seems to be the traitor..."

"I didn't expect that there was a crack in the ground here. Why did they hide in it? What happened? I seemed to see a fire just now. Is there a problem with the Blood Breaker? I have to go back and take a look."

If Barrow was here, he would find that the person who spoke was the guard Half Ear who was led away by him in order to sneak into Dock No. 1.

Half Ear looked at the stone from a distance, but did not go there immediately. Instead, he retreated cautiously and finally disappeared into the dark forest.

...

At the same time, inside the stone.

"This place is great, they will definitely not find it. Little Flea, how did you find this place... By the way, I forgot to ask you, why were you in the woods before?" After everyone settled down, Birch immediately came to Little Flea and asked curiously.

Little Flea: "When you were making trouble in the dock, I found out immediately. I had a feeling that something might happen to you, so I went to the woods to wait and see if I could pick you up."

Little Flea said "you" from beginning to end. Obviously, he did all this for Burch. As for the others, they were just by the way.

"Fortunately, you are here this time, otherwise we would really..." When Burch was halfway through his words, he heard Lenko's groaning in his ears. He suddenly came back to his senses: "By the way, can you help us check on Mr. Lenko's condition? I didn't see Mr. Lenko injured when he was in the dock. Why did he look like he was going to die when he came out?"

Little Flea nodded, and he walked up to Lenko.

Looking at Lenko's pale face and sweat all over his head, he already had a guess in his mind.

After checking for a while, Little Flea gently lifted Lenko's collar, and everyone saw that there was a scratch on Lenko's neck. The scratch was very shallow, and there was not much blood left. But green liquid oozed out of this scratch.

"What's going on here? Why is it green blood?" Burch pointed at Lenko's wound and asked in surprise.

Little Flea: "It's not blood, it's poison."

Little Flea looked at Lenko: "Was this knife cut by the Mandarin's deputy... the skinny, short and dark dwarf who had no sense of existence when thrown into the crowd."

Although Lenko was exhausted, he was still rational at this time. He nodded and said: "It was him. His breath was very weak and he was short. When he approached me, I didn't care at all..."

Even if Lenko was cut, he didn't care at the time. Because with his physical fitness, he was not afraid of these small wounds at all.

Little Flea: "It's him. He was a doctor of the Blood Breaker, but his medical skills were very poor. After I was captured, he became Mandarin's deputy. Although his medical skills are not good, he has a certain foundation in medicine and likes to tinker with some poisons. You must have been poisoned by him."

Birch: "What kind of poison?"

Little Flea shook his head: "I don't know, but I know that he usually studies biological toxins. Judging from the toxic effects shown so far, it does conform to the reaction of biological toxins. But I don't know what kind it is."
