Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 14 It's Time to Reap the Spoils

Under pressure, the poisonous mist centipede released the last trace of poisonous mist, then curled up its slender limbs and entwined itself around the body of the gale ripple moth.

The Wind-Wave Moth frantically flapped its scaly wings, trying to fly, but because it was carrying a heavy load of poisonous centipede mist on its body, it only flew two or three meters above the ground before crashing back to the ground with a "bang".

The intense pain stimulated the dying poison mist centipede, and its sharp palatal teeth and legs immediately pierced the soft abdomen of the gale ripple moth.

A white liquid like pus flowed out from the puncture site with a "puff" sound.

The Stormy Moth felt pain, but it seemed to have no vocal organs, so it did not howl, and could only fight back with actions.

Its straw-like mouthparts pierced into the wound of the poisonous fog centipede caused by the bomb like a spear, and began to suck blood and flesh.

The two giant beasts were entangled in a deadly fight, like two wrestlers, rolling over and over on the ground in the dry river valley, but the amplitude of their rolling was getting smaller and smaller.

Seeing that the situation was almost ready, Germann jumped lightly onto the limbs of the poisonous fog centipede and blasted a corner of its head with a musket.

He then used a meat saw to cut off the succulent mouthparts of the moth.

He aimed his musket at the head of the Storm Ripple Moth and fired a shot. The scattered bullets turned it into a hornet's nest.

"Oh!"

The poisonous fog centipede's originally raised upper body fell first onto the hard soil layer of the dry river valley.

The entire flat and long limbs are no longer curled, and the densely packed legs and feet no longer move.

Next came the Whirlwind Moth, which threw itself upon the limbs of the Poison Mist Centipede like lovers committing suicide.

A pair of huge scaly wings weakly covered the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Suddenly, the abdomen of the storm moth suddenly swelled up like a balloon.

With a few "puff, puff" sounds, several white eggs covered in mucus spurted out from the end and stacked into a tower.

"Laying eggs after death?" Germann jumped down from the corpse of the giant beast and looked at it thoughtfully. "The creatures in the Dark Continent are really incredible. We can't look at them with common sense."

"No, I should say that the creatures in the entire Hunter world are incredible."

He raised the meat saw from which blood was dripping like a silk thread, absorbing the resentment of the giant beasts.

This time, unlike usual, he not only gained 2 "attribute points" and 2 "vision pressure", but also two "resentment tools" -

A new lantern and a flamethrower!
I haven't been able to obtain a new "Instrument of Resentment" for over a month, but I didn't expect to get two at once. I don't know if it's a coincidence or a necessity.

As usual, he added 2 attribute points to endurance.

"Vigorous constitution: 20"

"Endurance: 19"

"Vision Pressure: 28"

"Grudge tools: meat saw, musket, flamethrower, 3 lanterns (4 minutes cooldown)"

Obtaining another lantern meant that Germain could expand the scope of his exploration and choose a new area as the location for the next teleportation.

As for the "flamethrower", as the name suggests, it is a weapon that can spray a large amount of flames forward, with amazing destructive power.

However, if this was the only thing he gained from this trip, he would still not be satisfied.

He looked at the corpse of the giant beast lying in the dry river valley, made up his mind, picked up the meat saw, and walked over.

German first used a meat saw to cut off the corners of the scaly wings of the storm moth. Although it was called a corner, it was as big as a bed sheet.

He rolled up the edges of the scaly wings and tied them with a climbing rope.

Afterwards, he went to the poisonous fog centipede and used the syringe in his backpack to draw a large tube of venom secreted from its palatal teeth. He then threw the syringe into a large jar and sealed it.

Finally, he used a meat saw to cut open the carapace of the flesh-sucking bug, and among a mass of incomprehensible organ tissues, he found a vermilion stone as big as his head.

At first he thought it was a stone from a flesh-sucking bug and didn't take it seriously.

But when he picked it up casually, he saw that it had changed, and gradually turned into a color similar to his arm. "It should be a good thing, take it back."

He had intended to take away an egg laid by a dead squall moth, but after seeing the disgusting mucus on the eggshell, he gave up the idea.

Germann made the materialized musket and meat saw disappear, and then stuffed the canister containing the venom syringe into his backpack.

He came to the side of the lantern, holding the scaly wings of a wind-rippled moth in his left hand and the chameleon stone of a flesh-sucking bug in his right hand.

This was all he could take away on his own.

The only things the lantern can transport are Germain himself and literally "things he can take away".

Germain extended his pinky finger toward one of the messenger imps.

The messenger ghost jumped up with joy, grabbed the little finger with both hands, and with a "buzz" sound, disappeared with him like a phantom.

After a long period of silence, the ground of the dry river valley suddenly bulged into small bumps, and flesh-sucking red bugs crawled out of the soil.

They crawled to the eggs of the storm moth, touched them with their antennae to confirm, then used their little heads to smash a corner of the egg, and then extended their straw-like mouthparts into it through the broken part.

"Gudong, gulp," they sucked in big gulps.

On the other side, Germain also successfully returned to the human world, to that dark mine.

After returning from the Dark Continent, his "Vision Pressure" was forcibly increased by 10 points to 38 points.

The purple light of the lantern illuminated his face as he gazed upon the new qualities he had acquired on this journey, projected by his hunter badge.

"Beast Buster"

"Bulimia"

Beast Killer is a positive trait that grants Germain a bonus when facing Beasts.

Bulimia is a negative trait that makes him crave food more than before.

Including the kleptomania he had acquired previously, he now had one positive trait and two negative traits.

He thought of the lantern again and looked over. Sure enough, he saw that the two lines of words on the lantern had changed again.

“Lantern Location: Dark Continent, Dry Valley”

"Cooling time: 8 minutes (countdown 6:45)"

It seems that he was not wrong about the cooling time rule of the lantern.

German piled the spoils he obtained from the Dark Continent in the corner of the mine, then walked around outside the mine, making sure that the traps were intact and there were no enemies around before returning.

He sat in the corner of the mine, remained in a state of "sleep", slept like that for a whole night, and woke up at dawn on the 26th.

German threw most of the things into the mine, took away the most easily carried venom syringes, and came to a nearby town, where he found the underground black market.

At present, he can only trade with black market merchants.

When the black market dealer saw that he was selling a syringe of poison, he was initially a little disdainful.

But after repeated sampling and confirmation, he found that this was a kind of venom he had never seen before, and he couldn't help but ask about it.

"Never mind, how much are you selling for?"

It was impossible for German to discuss his secrets with the black market merchants, nor was he in the mood to do so. He just asked the other party to name a price.

The black market businessman gritted his teeth and gave a number.

But German picked up the syringe and turned away.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't go. The price is negotiable!" The black market merchant hurriedly stopped German.

Germann then stopped and turned around.
