Become Supreme Will from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 247 Traces of Civilization
Be it V5, Nitro, or Byande, I think these people can never go as far into the Dark Continent as they can.

The five major disasters and hopes were discovered by them, which means that longevity rice and herbs that can cure all diseases exist on the edge of the continent. However, they landed in the wrong direction. When they walked in, they were in the desert, so they didn't see it.

Geographic bias.

But at this time, with the oasis...that special plant is very likely to appear!
If you find longevity rice, it can increase longevity. Who wouldn’t want to eat it?

Hazy's physical strength now far exceeds that of Nitro, but without the blessing of longevity rice, he thinks he will still die when the time limit is up...at most he will just live longer.

This is far from enough for exploring the Dark Continent.

After a long time, the four of them stepped out of the tall and dense grassland and came to a flat area.

The weeds here have become normal, just like the human world, only reaching the ankle level.

Only the grass is particularly colorful, not just green.

"team leader."

Men Qi pointed to a location.

Hazy looked along and narrowed his eyes.

Directly in front of their left side, at the ten o'clock position, there are four or five gorgeous flowers, about half a meter high, and the whole body is bright red. In the open and blooming buds, what grows is not a stamen, but a knot. A lens the size of a fist.

It seems to be the 'fruit' of this flower.

Several people now have some experience and immediately judged that this is the 'hope' they are looking for.

“Not longevity rice or vanilla…”

After seeing it, Hazy couldn't help but feel disappointed.

The ecological environment of this area is obviously different from the place where Nitro landed, which also creates inconsistent types of creatures.

Not longevity rice…

If the hope represented by this fruit cannot bring them direct benefits, then it has no value.

Hao led the four of them and walked over on their own.

Men Qi and the others turned to look to the other side. A few hundred meters away... there stood two 'creatures' that looked like wolves and rats, walking upright like humans, with white hair all over their bodies.What is more striking is that the two monsters have Senbai skeletons hanging on their backs, which have been polished into some kind of sharp weapons.

The wolf rat has two strange pupils and its eye sockets are red.

After seeing a few tiny life forms approaching the flowers, they let out a quick cry, rolled up the weapons on their backs, and jumped forward. The figures moved sideways on the ground at very fast speeds.Men Qi and the others had calm expressions and did not warn them, because even they had seen it...the captain must have noticed the two foreign objects long ago.

If you go straight to the flowers, you don't take them to heart.

Before the wolf rat sprinted, a black mist had already overflowed from Lu's body and condensed into a familiar atomized body.

Ant King Meru Aim.

Immediately afterwards, the ant king disappeared.

The speed is even faster than the two wolf rats, and its appearance and actions are not carried by the black mist at all. It seems to be a separate soul individual with more powerful abilities and can get rid of the ghost mist.

Two plops!
The two monsters that had just flown into the sky with amazing jumping power flew away with a wisp of black smoke. They lost their breath in an instant and turned into dead objects and fell to the ground.

Meruem looked at the two corpses, licked his lips with lingering interest, and walked towards the hazy position. After taking a few steps, the figures dispersed like clouds...

Lu raised his hand to stop Men Qi and the others, and he walked alone in front of the delicate flowers.

There was something stuck on the ground crookedly.

Although the shape is different, it resembles the scarecrow that Yuki knew.

Farmers in the human world often use this method to deceive and frighten wild animals that often harm farmers.

The inside of the 'scarecrow' is a skeleton, covered with some kind of animal skin... and surrounded by woven straw ropes to shape it.

There were also some strange patterns painted with blood on the animal skin.

It's almost like a charm.

"This kind of thing..."

Staring at the scarecrow, Hazy's heart sank.

Along the way, no matter what kind of life forms we encountered, there was nothing similar to human beings.

This has become a custom or trend.

"There are definitely advanced beings nearby!"

A chill ran through the soles of my hazy feet.

His instinct reminded him that this scarecrow was extremely dangerous.

But looking at it, the fruits on the flowers are extraordinary, and it is a pity to give up like this.

Disasters are often directly proportional to hope.

The greater the danger, the greater the hope.

He stepped over the scarecrow and reached out to pluck the ruby-like fruit.

Suddenly, the straw man seemed to move, and Hao suddenly looked over like an electric shock... Everything was as usual, just like an illusion.

He once again confirmed that the straw man has no soul and is just an empty shell.

Then there was a bang and the scarecrow was smashed to pieces.

Then, the ghost mist was released to roll over several flowers, swallowing and absorbing the shapeless souls in their bodies.

The souls are not formed, which means that these flowers do not have sound and mature thinking or consciousness. They are just vegetation and have weak spiritual power.

The vitality was cut off, and several flowers immediately fell down. Hazyya successfully picked a few fruits.

Back quickly.

"Captain, that's... the scarecrow..."

Anthony looked at the broken animal skins and bone fragments on the ground and said in surprise.

"It's nothing to make a fuss about. Human beings migrated from the Dark Continent to the island in the lake. It's normal for some kind of civilization to remain here. Judging from the existing data, there is also a human city on this continent, but there seems to be something inside. It's all gone, it's empty. It's more like a ruins... Although the route we chose this time is the same as East Fulis, it runs counter to that empty city. The life energy of the Dark Continent is too rich, and some highly intelligent species will naturally be born. ...This also shows that humans in the past at least had some influence on this land." Hao said lightly.He spoke calmly.

In fact, the truth is not told.

I don’t want to upset Men Qi and others.

He glanced at the destroyed scarecrow again and had a bad feeling.

In his current dimension of life, his intuition far exceeds those of people with telekinesis abilities... There must be a reason why the straw man gave him a great sense of danger.

curse?

Weird?

still is……

He thought in his heart.

"Go first."

He held the fruit in his hand and gave instructions hurriedly without having time to take a closer look.

Then, the four of them left together.

The two wolf rats were probably there a long time ago, but they didn't seek the fruit. On the one hand, it may be because the fruit is not on their diet. Although this thing is some kind of hope for humans.

But to the creatures in the Dark Continent, the value may not be that high... However, Hao is more willing to believe that the two monsters are afraid of the scarecrow.

It's obviously just a shelf.

"A sign?"

Claim territory?

As he walked away, he thought about it.

If it is a curse... at least it will have energy. No matter what form of attack it is, even if it involves rules, it will have no effect without energy.

Before Alluka kills someone, he will also reveal his true form and show people his 'spiritual energy', that is, his 'soul aspect'.

Her energy comes from her body.

Became invisible due to rules.

Even if it is invisible energy, it can still be traced.

For example, twisting a living body into a twist, causing people to explode and die, or a spaceship in the sky spilling cash... These are all caused by 'force'.

Hazy didn't sense any 'energy' in the scarecrow, which didn't mean there was no danger, because some kind of energy would pass through the rules and fall on him at any time.

It's the same as Alluka's ability, twisting him into a twist...this is the perversion of the rules.

But this is not the first time that Hao has been exposed to the power of rules. Earlier, he was a player of the 'game rules'.

There are two types of countermeasure rules. The first is to follow the 'other party's rules' and find loopholes to destroy them.

Second, it is that its own energy exceeds the point that the other party's power of rules can control.

Energy is always the most fundamental driving force.

This was the case when Hao killed the elder of the Bozwa clan.

The first method is no longer applicable to Hao, because he does not understand the rules of 'potential danger' and has no intelligence.

All he can do is to compete with his own strength when the energy driven by the rules arrives.

The power of rules can twist people into twists. What if that person himself is as hard as a steel plate?

To drive the source of the rules, you must pay a greater price!
Rules can be seen as a disguised form of control and constraints. Although buggy, they are not absolute.

The rules of the earliest games were the same. Although they had to follow the rules of the game, if one's personal ability was strong enough, one could ignore the disadvantages caused by the rules... However, his opponents at the time couldn't do it.

Because it’s too difficult…

The stronger the constraints and changes of the rules, the stronger the things that need to be released to release the rules.

Otherwise, the effect will only be diminished.

Of course, that scarecrow doesn't necessarily involve rules... it could also be weird.

What is weird...is the companion that Kurapika was supposed to meet, Melody.

The Dark Sonata she had heard was most likely from the Dark Continent...

Very damaging to the soul.

Zoba AIDS, one of the five major disasters, is also a typical example.

The hazy soul ability also fits the weird characteristics.

However, whether it is strange or extraordinary, there are signs of energy.

The Scarecrow didn't, so the only thing Hajime could think of was the rules...otherwise, his bad premonition wouldn't have arisen out of thin air.

Of course, his guess might be wrong.

The danger is hidden in other equations.

If it weren't for the rules, he could breathe a sigh of relief.

"The devil..."

Thinking of Dark Sonata, Hao couldn't help but think of a life that probably existed in the Dark Continent.

He doesn’t have to take the fruits, and he doesn’t have to take risks.

But Hao knows very well that the rules... cannot be circumvented in this land.

He had to...accept it soon.

there is always a solution to a problem.
