Nepenthes Island wasn't a very large island, and it didn't have many special features. Other than the incomparably huge Nepenthes in the forest on the island, there was nothing else special about it. Apart from Nepenthes, there was also a small fishing village on the island, which had little contact with the outside world. There were not many permanent residents in the fishing village, and they knew very little about the outside world. The villagers lived a happy life in seclusion.
Of course, such an island would be ignored by most people. Pirates might know about Nepenthes Island, but they would not care about such a place without any benefits. As for the bounty hunters, it was even simpler. Unless their prey came here, they would not be willing to come to this small place.
However, the World Government was different. This was an island that was not valued. No forces had touched this place. For these islands that were scattered all over the sea, the World Government was happy to do some secret things on them. For example, building a laboratory, imprisoning someone, or creating something.
The inhabitants of Nepenthes Island had no concept of the World Government, not even the navy or pirates. They had lived here for generations without being disturbed, so they were completely ignorant of the actions of the World Government on the island. The only thing that worried them was the occasional corpse of some strange creatures appearing in the forest. They guessed that these corpses might be the food that the Nepenthes on the island could not eat.
Junero led the group to a beach far away from the fishing village. The pirates under him wanted to plunder, but Junero stopped them. After all, there was no profit. There were only some small fishing boats and dried fish.
"Sven, do you know where he's under house arrest?”The man Junero was talking about was the genius doctor, Dai Ze. Jing. Lanik.
Lanik was quite obsessed with the study of living creatures. He often liked to dissect them and understand them from the inside. He had once been wanted for his love of studying humans and had killed hundreds of humans for research purposes. He had been arrested, but he had a thorough understanding of human research and knew the human body structure like the back of his hand. Therefore, he had temporarily lost interest in studying humans, and his medical skills had reached the peak.
Lanik was not only skilled in medicine, but he was also good at making all kinds of medicines, including poisons. Among the various rare beasts that Lanik studied, there were many creatures that contained poisons. Lanik was now very keen to understand these poisons. He once made a bottle of poison and sold it to a down-and-out ghost who took revenge on society. The down-and-out ghost threw the bottle of poison into the river of a certain town, causing the entire town to die.
Lanik's actions had earned him the titles of " Ripper,"" Doctor Death," and " Poison Warrior," but he didn't mind.
" Captain, he's in a cave deep in the forest. It's about a 20-minute walk to the center of the forest. He's been under house arrest there. The World Government has built a laboratory for him and often brings him the corpses of the rare beasts on the great sea route, so he enjoys it. I think the World Government's people monitoring Lanik on this island probably know that we've come ashore, so I suggest that we hurry over to avoid any more trouble.”
"Alright, got it. Let's go." Junero nodded and waved his hand, leaving 30 pirates to guard the ship. Then, he led the group into the depths of the forest.
At this moment, in the cave in the forest where Lanik was under house arrest, a room was observing the whereabouts of Junero and the others.
"Sir, these pirates are heading into the forest. Are they here to attack us?”A man in a black suit and sunglasses looked at the images sent back by the hidden phone bugs in the forest. He turned his head and reported to the leader behind him.
"It should be. Pirates usually go to rob fishing villages, and there shouldn't be so many pirates in this broken place. If I'm not wrong, they're here for Lanik. I think we're finished this time.”The officer had a cigar in his mouth and was lying on the leather sofa with his belly sticking out. He looked at the picture sent by the phone bug with a fierce face.
"What should we do? Sir…"
"What else can we do? There are so many pirates. We can't beat them. However, as the people of the World Government, we have to fight even if we can't. Let everyone attack and use the traps in the forest to resist them…"
"Yes, sir!" After receiving the order, the person quickly issued an order to resist, informing them that a group of pirates was about to attack. Be it combatants or non-combatants, all of them were to be prepared for battle. This would be a fierce war, and they had to ensure that Lanik was safe.
"Oh right, prepare a small boat for me. I'll take Lanik and leave quietly.”
"Ah?"
"What ah? Hurry up and prepare…"
"Yes, sir!"
Just like that, the officials of the World Government abandoned their subordinates and prepared to escape with Lanik. However, they did not expect the speed at which Junero led the pirates. When the World Government came out of the laboratory and entered the ambush site, Junero had already rushed over with the pirates.
"Pirates! Open fire!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Gunshots rang out from all directions. At the same time, all kinds of traps hidden in the forest were activated. Nepenthes also joined the battle, constantly devouring the pirates who fell into the traps. The pirates were caught off guard for a moment. Fortunately, Junero had warned them before, so the pirates stabilized their position and began to organize their attack.
A Jin was carried by a few pirates and squatted at the back. He did not participate in the battle. Junero and Sven took the lead. All kinds of sword lights danced in the forest. No matter how many traps there were, they were not enough to deal with the two masters. The pirates also got up and continued to advance through the exit opened by Junero and Sven.
For a moment, screams rang out in the forest. The small fries were completely unable to stop the pirates from advancing. Under the attacks of the two experts, they were quickly wiped out.
The fierce-looking officer was in the laboratory. He grabbed Lanik's hand and ordered him to leave with him. However, he never expected the pirates to rush so quickly. He had originally planned to let his subordinates stall for time so that he could bring Lanik away. When he heard the shouts outside the door, he already knew that he could not escape.
"Lanik, hurry up, it's too late!!”
Lanik didn't say anything. He let the man grab his hand and stood motionless. No matter how hard the man tried, he couldn't move Lanik. Lanik didn't particularly dislike people from the World Government, but at least he didn't like them. He was currently studying these rare and exotic beasts. He was not interested in this person who disturbed him. He shook off his hand and continued his own research.
The shouts outside were getting closer and closer. The fat officer also knew that Lanik was not an ordinary person. To him, he was a strong existence. The fat officer was also anxious. Seeing that he could not pull Lanik, he could only let go and escape towards the secret dock. There was a small boat prepared by his subordinates for him.
Not long after Fatty left, the door fell with a bang. At this time, Lanik was the only one left in the laboratory. Lanik looked up at the door and then lowered his head to continue his experiment.
