Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 13 Weapons that can be used in the Dark Continent

When the poisonous mist centipede had almost its entire head inserted into the shell of the flesh-sucking red bug with a hole opened in it to feast on the meal, it suddenly pulled its head out and its tentacles reached towards Germann.

Bloody pieces of flesh fell to the ground from its horrifying mouth.

Were they discovered so quickly?
German saw the lantern at his feet, which showed "Cooled". This time he did not choose to return immediately, but continued to walk towards the centipede.

The poisonous mist centipede used its tentacles to detect the breath of the unknown creature. When it saw him coming towards it, it paused for a moment in confusion, and then climbed down from the flesh-sucking red bug.

Try to take advantage of speed.

Germann materialized a musket and a meat saw, dashed to the side, and then went around to the left side of the poisonous fog centipede.

The poison mist centipede has poor eyesight and can only rely on its tentacles to confirm Germann's movements, so it is half a beat slow.

Germann raised the meat saw and chopped hard on one of the legs, which was quite large for him!

"Pfft!"

The blunt blade of the meat saw chopped on the joints of the poisonous fog centipede's legs and feet, as violently as a butcher chopping off a pig's shank bone.

The leg of the poisonous fog centipede was cut off!
It let out a wild beast-like howl from its mouth, twisted its limbs, and turned back to bite German.

Germann could see the palate teeth still stained with sticky blood and smell the fishy odor. Without hesitation, he picked up the musket, aimed at the mouthparts and fired a shot.

"boom!"

The musket took advantage of the situation to blast off one of the poisonous fog centipede's palatal teeth. It twisted its flat and slender limbs in pain, still howling like a wild beast.

After Germann fired a shot, he did not rush to finish off the enemy, but instead quickly retreated, keeping a considerable distance between himself and the enemy.

As it turned out, he was right to do so.

Just as Germann moved about ten meters away, the poisonous mist centipede began to tremble its limbs again, a bit like a rattlesnake shaking the keratin ring at the end of its tail.

The poisonous fog, black as smoke, contained enough toxin to kill car-sized flesh-sucking bugs.

"I knew you would poison..." German had anticipated what was happening.

The poisonous mist emitted by the poisonous mist centipede is both a hunting method and a means of self-protection.

However, its eyesight was originally poor, and now the poisonous fog even interfered with its tentacles, putting it in a passive situation.

Is this what it means to be trapped in your own web?
German took out a remote-controlled bomb from his backpack, took a lunge, and threw it hard into the dark poisonous fog.

After hearing the sound of the bomb falling to the ground, he picked up the remote control again and pressed the detonation button.

"Oh!"

The sudden explosion and the orange-yellow flames that shot up into the sky made the entire dry valley quiet for a while.

The poisonous fog was either dispersed or mixed with the gunpowder smoke.

German couldn't hear any movement, but he didn't rush forward. On the contrary, he stepped back a few steps to prevent the wind from changing direction and blowing the poisonous fog to him.

The flames and smoke soon dissipated, and German was able to see the outline of the poisonous fog centipede.

The train-sized beast fell to the ground on its side as if it had derailed, then curled up into a flat ball, with black blood oozing from the large hole created by the bomb.

After a brief moment of silence, those densely packed legs began to move again, just like a cockroach that had turned over in the corner of the wall.

Germann clenched his fist with the hand holding the handle of the meat saw, put his hands on his waist, and tilted his head slightly: "Isn't it really that easy?"

The creatures of the Dark Continent were rumored to be quite terrifying. However, humans were no less terrifying than them, especially the various weapons they invented.

As long as humans don't encounter creatures with overly abnormal abilities, they still have a place in the Dark Continent.

Bombs are one of mankind's most terrifying weapons. They have been updated and upgraded since their invention, and there is still no sign of them being eliminated.

Among all the remote-controlled bombs that German could find, this was the only one that had a good equivalent and could be carried around.

Even so, only some of the limbs of the poisonous fog centipede were injured.

Do I really have to brave that poisonous fog and personally use a musket and a meat saw to kill it?

He came wearing a gas mask.

While German was still weighing whether it was worth doing this, he heard the sound of wings flapping in the air.

"call--"

He looked up and saw another giant beast flying towards him from the other side of the valley.

It was a moth with gray-brown scaly wings flapping. Similarly, its size was far beyond imagination. With its wings spread, it was slightly larger than the poisonous fog centipede.

The poisonous mist centipede's tentacles swayed, as if it sensed that the god of death was coming to claim its life, and it desperately twisted its limbs in an attempt to emit more poisonous mist.

However, on the one hand, it is now overwhelmed by the large amount of poisonous fog it produces in a short period of time to deal with the flesh-sucking bugs and Germans; on the other hand, this giant wavy moth also has ways to deal with the poisonous fog.

It flew into the sky where the poisonous fog could not reach, and flapped its scaly wings slowly and vigorously.

A whirlwind was fanned out by the scaly wings, which easily dispersed the poisonous fog.

The Wind Ripple Moth was in no hurry to attack, but kept fanning whirlwinds at the Poison Mist Centipede and showing it the ripples on its scaly wings that were like the pupils of a ferocious beast.

The poisonous fog centipede seemed to be frightened and continued to emit poisonous fog, but each time, the poisonous fog would be blown away by the whirlwind of the gale ripple moth.

This cycle repeats itself, and the amount of poisonous fog that the poisonous fog centipede can shake out becomes less and less.

Germann finally understood the hunting methods in this food chain.

In order to hunt and avoid natural enemies, the flesh-sucking bug has evolved a camouflaged shell.

The poisonous mist centipede evolved poisonous mist in order to prey on flesh-sucking bugs and avoid the wavy moth.

Now, the Gale Moth, which is one level above the Poison Mist Centipede, has evolved scaly wings that can fan out strong winds in order to prey on the Poison Mist Centipede.

Germain also gradually figured out how to gain a foothold in the Dark Continent.

In addition to calmness, "psychic abilities", weapons from the human world, etc., you can also make use of the existing food chain.

The Wind Ripple Moth fanned away the poisonous mist of the Poison Mist Centipede, creating a hard-won opportunity for German.

He took out the rope that was originally used to climb the cliff in the valley from his backpack and walked quickly towards the Wind Ripple Moth and the Poison Mist Centipede.

As the distance got closer, German seized the opportunity and swung the climbing rope in his hand. The hook at the end was accurately stuck on the neck of the Storm Ripple Moth.

With a strong pull, he yanked the huge Storm Ripple Moth toward the ground.

The Wind Ripple Moth was caught off guard and, under German's sneak attack, crashed into the Poison Mist Centipede on the ground like a meteorite!
"Oh!"

The two giant beasts collided with each other, and a cloud of dust rose up.
