Become Supreme Will from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 243 Characteristics of the Dark Continent x Real Hell

After dawn, the temperature began to warm up. After a brief preparation, a few people embarked on the journey into this strange continent.

During the day, when you look up at the sky, you will see sunshine and clouds, but only in a limited area above your head. At the end of the sky, there are still low shadows. It seems that the further you go, the darker the light and shadow become.

There is a feeling of stepping from day to night.

It was clear that it was because a 'towering tree' in the middle of the land blocked everything.

Of course, these are just his speculations at the moment and have not yet been confirmed.

"The temperature is starting to get higher..." Several people walked cautiously, not daring to go fast. On the one hand, they wanted to save energy, and on the other hand, they were afraid of causing some danger.They almost always set off after they have confirmed that there is no danger nearby.

However, the location where they landed and the current environment were different from the v5 data.

They seem to have chosen a very bad route.

In just a few hours, the originally bitterly cold desert temperature rose sharply, turning it into a big furnace.

But now, it’s not the hottest time at noon yet.

"We must find the water source immediately." Hao frowned.

At this time, he suddenly reached out and stopped his teammates.

Without any instructions, the five men from Menqi instantly turned into horses and disappeared on the spot, hiding behind a few pieces of gravel to hide themselves.

Only Hagi remained standing.

Looking ahead with cold eyes, he noticed a soul wave a few kilometers away.

The 'opponent''s ability to conceal his aura is truly outstanding.

It is difficult to find it simply by using 'circle' to sense it.

A 'soul form' hidden under the sand appeared in Hazy's brain, like a strange-looking giant lizard, similar to a chameleon.This creature's ability to hide and camouflage is innate, and it is also one of its abilities as a member of the Dark Continent's food chain. What surprised Hao is that he doesn't know if it is related to the special ecology of the Dark Continent. It has such a powerful ability. The vitality monster is born with perfect control over the breath...almost more terrifying than the human beings who have mastered the power of telekinesis to the extreme.

Human beings practice throughout their lives, and this kind of monster will know it from birth...

If it weren't for soul power, I'm afraid even he would have stepped into this trap.

Hagi stood still.

Soon, huge waves of sand rose up on the ground in front of them, and a column of water like a sweet spring spurted from the ground and spread into the sky, forming a beautiful rainbow.

The high temperature in the desert was astonishing and lasted for a period of time. Under such circumstances, the sudden appearance of water sources undoubtedly brought hope to many 'lives', including Team Ogi.

What they lack most right now is water.

Water is more important than food.

The water flows rapidly down, soaked with sand.

Not long after, Hao saw a black scorpion flying from a distance, still very huge.

What is peculiar is that there is more than one scorpion tail that is long and equipped with poisonous hooks.

The scorpion rushed to the sudden water source and stood still, sucking the water from the sand.But just as it stood still, suddenly, the vast desert land collapsed, forming a whirlpool.An abyssal mouth protruded from below, biting the scorpion directly, swallowing it into the mouth, revealing half of its head.

It was the lizard that Yun sensed... that was hiding on the ground.

This kind of picture is very shocking. Firstly, it is because of the 'towering' shape of the creature. Secondly, it is the impact on the sight. It nakedly presents the high and low sequence of the Dark Continent's food chain, and the relationship between hunting and being hunted. out.

The fountain of water is a certain ability of the lizard, and its purpose is to lure some prey into a trap.

Scorpion has obviously been tricked!
The scorpion's terrifying scorpion tails kept stabbing at the lizard, and it even tried to struggle and made a harsh hissing sound.

But due to the latter's hard scales, it failed... and was eventually eaten.

This scene started and ended very quickly.

Within a few minutes, the desert ahead returned to calm.

As if nothing had happened.

The water in the sand evaporates quickly due to the high temperature and becomes invisible.

Men Qi and others had been hiding and did not dare to come out. Several of them looked pale... They all sensed the violent and turbulent aura, which fully indicated the terrifying nature of their life carriers.

Hao waited for a while, and sure enough, another familiar water column spurted out, the same as before.

Some water mist drifted over, and it had a vague and alluring sweetness of milk.

Hazy pupils gradually narrowed.

Scalp tingling…

Under his perception, the scorpion was eaten by the lizard...but this was normal.What made his heart palpitate was that after the lizard devoured its prey, not only its breath... but its soul also seemed to have grown a little stronger.

This made him think of something for a moment.

Meruem's talent.

The ant king has the instinct to 'eat'. After eating the brain tissue of a person with telekinesis, his energy will become stronger... To put it bluntly, he can evolve infinitely!It had the same effect as Hao's ability, and he thought it was just a special case.

But looking at it now, this is not the case at all!
Human beings eat food to maintain life and absorb nutrients...but essentially, there is no way to turn what you eat into 'power'. There is a very necessary process in the process, which is practice!
But the creatures in the Dark Continent don't seem to be like this.

They can absorb the essential life energy through digestion!
Note that it is absorbing energy...not simply eating living organisms.

This is scary...

This means that it is very likely that most of the life forms in the Dark Continent... their food chain has a special characteristic.

As long as you 'eat', you can become stronger, which will make the species in the food chain fight each other more cruel and bloody... But humans do not have this ability.At least in the current human world, no human being has this trait, unless, like Hagi, he has some special ability.

All have the possibility of 'evolution'!
Evolution, always evolving...

No one knows how many years the Dark Continent has existed. Doesn't this mean that some of the ancient creatures on this continent are all standing at the top of the food chain and have evolved to an unknown level of 'extra-dimensional species' ?
Same as raising gu.

Knowing this, it means that there must be several or several species, as well as a group of the most terrifying 'things' on this land.

Hazy's heart was beating wildly.

Nitro's report to v5 did not explain this, but... maybe the old man realized it, so he banned humans from entering this continent.

"Thankfully, I developed the ability to superimpose passive abilities... Otherwise, I wouldn't even have the basic qualifications to participate in this game. Evolution... is just a ticket." Hazy suddenly realized, "The reason why I can evolve is because of my powerful digestion and absorption. Ability... is essentially a difference in the structure of life."

I can't imagine whether the humans who have not migrated to the island in the lake have this characteristic. At least now... it is gone.

He thought of Alluka again.

The kind of living matter that involves the energy of the rule system.

The power that any living thing possesses is for survival. This is the law.

I once thought that Alluka relies on human inner desires as bait to obtain the 'food' it needs, and what is its food?

Although superficially, it is not visible to the naked eye.

There was no connection to the food, it seemed like just 'playing around'.

But as long as they were attacked or those close to them, they would all die... What they had to pay for it was their lives.

If Aluka can really transform 'external life' into longevity through his own power... then it will undoubtedly touch the essence of life energy.

It has no entity, and naturally does not need physical food, but what it needs... to support its survival, or to always exist, is life energy.

Not just flesh and blood, spirit and soul, but also one.

Looking at it this way, both the Ant King and Alluka are close to the essence of "continuous evolution through hunting and absorbing life energy."

Is this a characteristic unique to the Dark Continent?
Alluka's evolutionary characteristics are not very prominent, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist...it's just that it's still relatively young, and its 'eating method' is also unconventional.

It's a bit scary to think about this.

He was not sure whether all species in the Dark Continent had the characteristic of 'evolution', or... it was only limited to some.

Even so, I didn’t dare to delve into it…because it was too scary.

He now vaguely understood Nitro's 'good intentions'.

Looking at this world again, Hao felt like a 'pathetic person' who had lost his way and strayed into the abyss.

"No matter how bad the human world is, it is still a relatively safe paradise...and this is a real hell."

Hazy muttered to himself.

"It's just a pity...I still have to come."

"Because I already have the qualifications and tickets to participate in the game...this most realistic hunting feast derived from evolution, how can I miss it..."

"Prey and Predator..."

"I seem to like this side better. After all, it doesn't involve any intrigues, but is more pure. Whoever is stronger...will survive."

The next second, Hao suddenly smiled.

There was even more bloodlust in his eyes.

He came here...to evolve!
With that said, he walked alone towards the area where the water rose.
