Pirates: Rush to the Peak

Ivankov said with a look of astonishment and confusion on his face. He racked his brains but could not understand why Kuro could chat with Ryan and others as if nothing had happened just now.

After hearing this, Ryan's expression became extremely solemn, and his eyes were fixed on Kuro's face. After a moment of silence, he asked, "So, what were you doing just now?"

Ivankov took a deep breath, then slowly pulled out the syringe, and then replied: "I am doing my best to save the life of your captain. Since I don't have any medicine at hand, if his injuries are left untreated, the trauma in his body will become worse.

Therefore, I can only use hypnotic hormones to put his body into a deep sleep. After doing this, it should be enough to support us until we return to Wan Guo safely."

However, after hearing this, Ryan shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he did not agree with this approach.

"We are not going back to Wanguo!" Ryan said firmly, his tone firm and resolute.

"Not going back to Wanguo?" Ivankov and Dorag exclaimed in unison, with expressions of confusion on their faces.

They stared at Ryan with wide eyes, as if trying to find the answer from his eyes.

Ryan's expression was extremely solemn. He nodded slightly to show his affirmation.

"That's right. There is no doctor in Wan Guo who can save the captain. Therefore, we must return to Dimen Island, because only there is someone who can heal the captain."

Ryan's voice was deep and powerful, and he thought of an old man with a white beard.

Just as Ryan finished speaking, old man Hua Si, who was far away on Dimen Island, felt an itching in his ears without any warning.

This sudden strange feeling made him frown, and an inexplicable premonition surged in his heart.

"Who on earth is such a hateful bastard who dares to gossip and slander me behind my back?" Old Master Hua Si muttered in a low voice, his face full of anger, his eyes wide open, as if he was about to spit out fire. At this moment, in front of him was a pile of densely packed bottles and jars of various kinds, and in the boxes on the shelf, there were a dazzling array of various herbs.

He carefully selected some of the herbs and put them into the pounding pot, then picked up a heavy stone stick and smashed it with all his strength. A series of crisp and loud "bang bang bang" sounds echoed throughout the room.

"These little bastards have not been heard from since they left here. It's as if they disappeared from the face of the earth! I really hope they all die out there!" Old Man Hua Si kept muttering and cursing while he was busy pounding the herbs.

At this moment, the anger in his heart grew stronger, and it seemed that only in this way could he vent his inner dissatisfaction and resentment.

Just then, Paul slowly walked in with a sumptuous meal in his hands.

However, before he even took a step into the room, he could clearly hear the voice of old man Hua Si cursing. He couldn't help laughing, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

"Haha, old man, why are you cursing our brave and fearless captain here again?" Paul walked into the house with a smile and went straight to old man Hua Si.

Hearing this, Mr. Hua Si suddenly stopped what he was doing, turned his head slowly, stared at Paul viciously, and snorted coldly: "Humph! Shouldn't they be scolded? These guys, it would be fine if they just walked away, but the infuriating thing is that they actually threw away a dignified ship doctor like me! They clearly don't take me seriously!"

As he spoke, his eyes became more fierce, but Paul couldn't help laughing when he heard his words.

"Hahaha, old man, don't bother with the captain! He must have his own reasons for not bringing you on board. Maybe he just thinks that the base camp needs someone like you who is highly respected and experienced to guard it!"

Paul comforted Mr. Hua Si with a smile on his face, trying to calm his dissatisfaction.

However, the old man just snorted coldly, obviously not buying it.

"Oh, old man, please don't be angry anymore! Being angry is not good for your health! Let's have a good meal first."

Paul shook his head helplessly, smiled and gently placed the steaming meal on the empty table next to him.

In an instant, an enticing aroma wafts into your nose, which is the unique charm of delicious food.

Old man Hua Si couldn't help but twitch his nose a few times, as if he was deeply attracted by the fragrance.

"Sniff~" He couldn't help but let out a few light sniffs, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Oh? What's that smell? Is it bacon?"

There was a hint of anticipation and curiosity in the old man's voice.

"Haha, old man, you have a very sensitive nose! Yes, this is the fresh steak that was just smoked this afternoon!"

Paul said proudly, holding up the delicious steak in his hand and showing it to the old man.

The steak was golden in color, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a thin layer of oil on the surface, which looked simply mouth-watering.

"Oh my, you are the most considerate little brat after all! You know how to sympathize with an old man like me."

The old man happily put down the heavy medicine jar in his hand, and hurried to the side to wash his hands, as if he was afraid that he was a little slow.
