Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 204: Avoid unnecessary fighting as much as possible

Perhaps sensing the heavy atmosphere, Bisiji tried to break the silence, so he took pictures of the tall buildings that were like stone pillars while casually finding a topic.

"Jin, I've actually been paying attention to the players of Greed Island these past few days. I feel like your game is pretty dangerous. What happens if a player dies on Greed Island?"

"What else can we do? Of course the bodies were teleported back to where they entered Greed Island and appeared next to the game consoles." Jin replied, walking at the front of the team.

"Before they entered the game, they were told that it was extremely dangerous. However, on the other hand, as long as they can persevere, Greed Island is a good training ground for Nen users."

"'Extremely dangerous'... after all, it's a real death." Biscuit suddenly realized that he seemed to have found a worse topic, and felt a little annoyed.

At the same time, she also realized that a feeling of anxiety was growing in her heart.

This emotion was affecting her mind little by little, to the point that she became dizzy and even mentioned "death" shortly after the exploration began. This was definitely not something she would normally do.

Is this the "pressure" that Germain usually talks about? Am I beginning to feel this kind of tangible pressure as well?

Jin then said, "Come to think of it, thanks to you, you killed a guy named Ganshu and his companion, who were habitual murderers in Greed Island."

"After the death of these three people, the death rate on Greed Island dropped visibly. Before that, Du En and Lister were quite troubled by them."

"Because their behavior, although it does not violate the rules of Greed Island, is inconsistent with our original intention of designing the Greed Island game."

"Greed Island is not a sky arena of bravery and fighting. It is essentially a game after all. If everyone takes this shortcut of killing people to collect cards, it will be too boring."

"'Bomb Demon' Ganshu..." Biscuit thought for a while and made a vertical gesture on his head, "Is it the hedgehog-headed guy who can use telekinesis to install bombs?"

"It's these three people." Jin replied without turning his head. "Duen and Lister saw the photos of the criminals in the train hijacking case and recognized them at a glance."

Bisiji nodded: "Then it's good for them to die. Maybe before, it was just retribution for their evil deeds, but the time has not come yet. Now Xiaodi and I are their retribution. Now that they are dead, they can no longer harm people."

Germann observed everything in front of him and found that the slightly dull atmosphere before was gradually disintegrated during the conversation between Jin and Biscuit.

Generally speaking, when Biscuit is happy, other members of the team will also be infected and become happy.

After all, German is taciturn, Xiaodi has a clear mind, and Jin is quite arrogant. In this situation, Biscuit is the knob that regulates the team's emotions.

After walking for a while, Jin looked down at the spread-out paper map, drew a few circles in the air with his finger, and pointed to the right: "Let's go this way."

This action looked like he was pointing in a random direction, but German still trusted King, who was not the "idiot" as rumored.

On the contrary, as long as he puts his heart into something, he will appear very steady and act in an orderly manner, just like what is happening right now.

Jin led everyone to the right, turned around a stone pillar, and saw more stone pillars. They all looked exactly the same, but there were many marks left by predecessors on the stone pillars.

Everyone couldn't help but look up at the stone pillar.

Jin, the relic hunter, immediately urged Biscuit to take a picture of the scene in front of him. This relic mark contained too much information.

German walked at the end of the team, touching the many scratches on the stone pillars, many of which were engraved with huge "USS" marks, which was the abbreviation of the United States of Sahelta.

He guessed that the special forces members carved the marks here so that they could better find the way out when they returned or when the team members got separated.

In addition, at the top of the stone pillar is an extremely conspicuous engraving - the Möbius strip.

It has stood for two or three hundred years, and wind erosion has not been able to erase it. It is just like a beam of light from a lighthouse, pointing the way for travelers.

That was the mark that Dong Fulisi carved for himself and for those who came after him. He was telling those who came after him that this was a specific location marked on his map.

Seeing this Möbius strip, I'm sure the Saherta United States Special Forces, like German and his crew, felt a sense of relief at this moment, right?

Because that means this path is correct, someone has already walked it for us, and what remains is how to deal with one of the five major disasters, the "Plant Weapon Gold and Silver Ingots".

They didn't stay here for long and soon set off again.

At this moment, German felt the "circle" from gold, radiating in all directions and scanning everything nearby.

"Don't go this way." Jin pointed in another direction, "There is a monster on this road. Let's go another way."

His "circle" swept across a monster, blocking the path he was originally going to take.

Fortunately, East Fulisi had explored enough areas, so if Jin wanted to temporarily change the route, he only needed to confirm it on the paper map and then make a decision.

The comprehensive danger index of "Plant Weapon Gold and Silver Ingots" is B+, which is quite close to the highest level A.

Its destructive power is A-1 (-1 and -2 represent a certain degree of difference below the level of A), and its fatality and disability rates are extremely high. Its brutality level is B, but it can be transformed into A-1 under certain conditions.

One of the conditions is to set foot in the ancient labyrinth city. That is, as long as Germain and his party are still in the ancient labyrinth city, they will be actively attacked by them.

The ancient labyrinth city is equivalent to their nest, and the "Herb of Cure" is equivalent to their cubs. In order to nourish the "Herb of Cure", they will hunt invaders.

At the same time, their reproductive capacity is B-2, which is stronger than human's C, but their number is only C, which is less than one hundred, which means that their reproduction is not quite the same as that of humans.

"Plant Weapon Gold and Silver Ingot" is parasitic, that is, some of the spores of "Plant Weapon Gold and Silver Ingot" are transferred from one living body to another living body.

Only after they take control of the body, bear fruit, and bloom, can they be considered to have completed reproduction.

One "Plant Weapon Gold and Silver Ingot" can split into more than a dozen parts and parasitize on more than a dozen living things before the original "Plant Weapon Gold and Silver Ingot" will die.

However, the number of "Plant Weapon Gold and Silver Ingots" did not increase explosively because of the existence of the "Ancient Labyrinth City".

They seem to have some kind of instinct or mission, and have been active in the "Ancient Labyrinth City", and only leave the "Ancient Labyrinth City" in very rare cases.

In this way, only living creatures that are attracted by the "Herb of Cure for All Diseases" or accidentally enter the ancient maze city will have the chance to be parasitized by them.

This is how their numbers are kept below a hundred.

Once the constraint of the "Ancient Labyrinth City" is removed, the reproduction capacity of the "Plant Weapon Gold and Silver Ingots" may even reach A.

In this case, their numbers will reach a terrifying number, and they will swarm out of their nests like cockroaches.

Considering the characteristics of "Plant Weapon Gold and Silver Ingots", German and others felt at the previous discussion that they should avoid fighting if possible.

The quantity C is the most obvious shortcoming of "Plant Weapon Gold and Silver Ingots". In the huge "Ancient Maze City", their distribution and wandering will be quite scattered.

This means that German and others can avoid many unnecessary battles, and Jin's superb "circle" and the four people's excellent "hidden" make this possible.

Germain and his crew will not forget that their primary purpose this time is to obtain the "Herb of Cure", one of the five great hopes.

Being able to avoid fighting as much as possible before reaching the core area is the best option for the four-person team.

If the contents of the "New World Chronicle: Eastern Chapter Fragments" recorded two or three hundred years ago are still accurate today, then German and his party will have a tough battle after arriving at the core area.

German believed that all the text information indicated that there was a champion-level monster in the core area.

When they passed another cubic stone pillar, Jin's "circle" captured unusual biological activities.

"Be careful." He frowned and warned, "There is a monster that has noticed our presence and is coming towards us very fast."

"If we move fast now, can we get rid of it?" asked Biscuit.

"Once we're discovered, we can't get rid of them." Jin said, "You can regard all the parasitic monsters here as 'elite and above Nen users' as proposed by Germain."

"They are also 'circles' and have a large range, but their 'circles' are often irregular, leaving certain gaps between them for us to pass through."

"We are keeping hidden now, so we won't be discovered by the monsters that are parasitized by too many gold and silver ingots."

"However, these monsters are obviously very wild. Even if we use 'Hide', as long as we stay within the range of their 'circle' for a period of time, we will be discovered."

"Once we're discovered, it will be very difficult to shake it off. And as it pursues us, it will attract more parasitic monsters. They will all notice the abnormality here and eventually form an encirclement."

Xiaodi adjusted his glasses and said, "But if we fight monsters here, it will also attract the attention of other monsters, right?"

Germain probably understood Jin's idea, and he explained to Xiaodi:
"So we must fight quickly and eliminate this relentless enemy."

"Before other monsters infected by the "gold and silver ingots" arrive, continue to advance in secret and escape from their encirclement in advance."

He drew a circle in the air with his mind and deliberately left a few gaps. He pointed at the gaps and showed them to Xiaodi.

Xiaodi and Biscuit used "Condensation" to see Germann's schematic diagram, understood it, and nodded.

King couldn't help but smile when he saw that Germain understood his train of thought so quickly.

"If it were an ordinary team of Nen users, they might not be able to do this, but the four of us can do it. We must resolve the battle within five seconds of meeting."

He thought to himself: This guy Germain has similar ideas to mine in some aspects... When he reaches my age, he might become a monster like President Netero.
