Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 206 "This is my restriction and oath"

The battle in the "Ancient Labyrinth City" continues.

bang——

The armored dragon, which was as big as a hill and had its head and tail chopped off, still charged at Germann tirelessly.

Just an ordinary fatal wound is not enough to kill the giant beast.

It was not until Germann cut a hole in the "gold and silver ingot" under its abdomen that was not covered by its heavy leather armor, causing spore black mist to gushed out, that it finally lost its power source.

The parasitized Ankylosaur fell to the ground like a flying ship making a hard landing, leaving a long bloody track.

The parasitic spores came like smoke after an explosion, wave after wave, and soon approached not far in front of German.

Xiaodi, holding the "bulgy fish", reminded from behind: "German, we should retreat."

"Wait." Germann materialized a flamethrower and aimed it at the parasitic spore black mist, "Let's see how effective the fire attack is."

The flamethrower spewed out tongues of fire, which were injected into the black fog. The spores immediately made crackling sounds like popcorn.

At the same time, they also came to life, twisting their floating direction in mid-air, transforming into the mouths of giant man-eating beasts, biting towards German.

German moved the nozzle of the flamethrower and swept the tongue of fire over, blocking the advance of the black bloody mouth.

A moment later, all the parasitic spores in the sky were burned to ashes by Germann's flames, leaving only gray and black embers on the ground, like a thick carpet.

Germann walked back to Xiaodi and said, "The flames cannot burn through the shell of the Scutum Dragon, nor can they burn through the shell of the "Gold and Silver Ingots", but they are effective against the spores of the "Gold and Silver Ingots."

"Using flames to burn is like burning a nest of cockroaches. Just be careful not to let some of them escape and crawl onto you."

"But..." Xiaodi adjusted her black-framed glasses like a female scholar, "Your mental energy consumption is also very high, right? The flames are not burning the oil, but your mental energy."

"It's okay. My mental energy is still full now. As long as it's not burning all the time, it's okay." German replied.

He was not lying or trying to be brave, it was indeed the truth. So far, he and Xiaodi had teamed up to kill a total of five monsters.

Both "Physique" and "Tonance" surpassed the "Champion Level", reaching 103 points and 104 points respectively, thereby obtaining the "Champion Aura", replacing the previous "Master Aura".

Under the "champion halo", Germain's "magnanimity" is already the best among the Nen users of the six continents, and his "physique" also allows him to reduce more "pressure".

For example, the "pressure" from the "ancient maze city" has been further reduced from the previous 3 points to only 1 point.

This means that every time he takes Pressure Damage, his Champion's Aura reduces his damage by 7 points.

Although his "physique" and "magnanimity" have reached the "champion level", German's overall combat power is still at the "master level".

After all, most of his "physique" and "magnanimity" were suddenly improved due to his "telepathy", not through natural practice or spiritual enlightenment.

It's like a person wearing a coat that is much larger than his body and frame.

Germain took off his "gravedigger hood", which allowed him to look Xiaodi in the eye better.

The two walked in the same direction while talking.

"I actually tried to use the "bulgy fish" to absorb the entire "gold and silver ingot", or its spores... but it didn't work. I can't fool myself. They are alive."

"It was Biscuit who asked you to give it a try, right?"

"Yes, she said, 'You can think they are dead', let me try... But, they are alive, they were able to turn around and rush towards us and attack us actively just now."

"Ah."

"You think so, don't you? Anyway, I can't let the "bulgy fish" eat living things... After cutting off the parasitic "gold and silver ingots", I can absorb the monster's corpse."

"why?"

"what why'?"

"Why are you so obsessed with not letting the bulge-eye fish swallow live animals?"

"That's my 'Restrictions and Oaths.'" Xiaodi opened her eyes wide in surprise, as if wondering why German could ask such a question.

"Then why did you make such "restrictions and oaths"? " German decided to explain his question in more depth.

"Hmm..." Xiaodi poked her chin with her index finger, thought seriously for a while, and replied, "If I think about it carefully, it might be related to something I encountered in Meteor Street when I was a child."

"what's up?"

"Think about it, aren't we in Meteor Street short of food and water? One time, I broke into someone's house and planned to steal some food, but after searching for a long time, I found that the whole family had no food either."

Germain vaguely guessed something, but still asked, "And then?"

"Then I heard screaming in the room and saw them cutting up their own babies and eating them."

Xiaodi blinked her big eyes, but her expression didn't change at all.

"I'll never forget the way those parents looked at me."

"They want to eat you?"

"No, their eyes were like the dead people I saw on the side of the road. They just glanced at me and continued eating as if I didn't exist."

Germain was silent. Xiaodi continued, "Then I heard that I could get food as long as I went to church, so I went. After a while, I told the old priest about it."

She touched the inverted cross necklace hanging on her chest: "The old priest sighed and said that they had committed serious crimes, but they were not unforgivable. They just wanted to survive."

"In short, from then on, I couldn't accept eating living things. It's probably because of this that the "bulgy fish" became like this."

"I know I'm not a good person, and I won't be a saint in this life. However, I still hope I can abide by some bottom lines, so that I can feel alive."

Germain nodded.

"Then follow your own ideas. The current abilities of the "Puffy Eye Fish" must be due to you. If you change, it may not have the current abilities."

"I thought so too... Mmm, it smells so good."

When German heard Xiaodi suddenly say "It smells good", he was stunned for a moment, until he smelled the fragrance himself, then he reacted.

She wasn't talking about the meaty smell she had imagined.

It was a rich fragrance, like the scent of an unknown flower in bloom, wafting from quite far away.

"You're back." Biscuit walked out from behind a cubic stone pillar and said with a smile, "Jin is urging us. He said if you don't come back, he will leave first."

"I didn't say that. Biscuit, don't frame me."

Jin followed Biscuit out, still holding the "Ancient Labyrinth City" map in his hand, which looked wrinkled.

"But doesn't that sound like something you would do? 'Idiot'?"

"No matter how reckless I am, I know that I can't get the 'Herb of All Diseases' by myself."

"You can learn from your ancestor, Dong Fulishi."

Jin glanced at Biscuit, ignored her sarcasm, and unfolded the rolled-up map. After confirming it again and again, he said, "You all smelled that fragrance, right?"

"I smell it." Xiaodi said, "I just said to Germain, 'It smells good.'"

"That should be the scent of the 'Herb of All Diseases'." Jin explained, "The beasts' sense of smell is more sensitive than ours. They were attracted into the 'Ancient Labyrinth City' and finally became the prey of the 'Gold and Silver Ingots'."

"We are very close to the 'core of the ancient labyrinth city'. At our speed, I estimate that we will arrive before tomorrow afternoon."

"Yeah." Biscuit touched her blonde ponytail and combed it to her shoulders. "It feels like the journey has been pretty smooth. The monsters we killed were all elite level."

“Maybe next time I’ll run into a master,” Jin said.

"Don't say such unlucky words."

Since Germann often uses the same "personal opinion" as Hisoka to classify the "levels of Nen users", everyone has heard it so many times that they gradually accepted it and naturally said it out loud when chatting.

"Let's go." Jin tapped the paper map with his knuckles, making a snapping sound. "Dong Fulisi left a 'residence'. I don't know if it's still there. We have to get there before dark and spend the night there."

Dong Fulisi had been to the "ancient maze city" more than once, and of course he needed a place to stay overnight along the way, so he dug several "residences" on his own.

The place that German and his crew were heading to was one of them, which was considered a safe spot left for them by Dong Fulisi.

The further they went, the more they could feel the passage of time.

The sky gradually changed from bright to dim, and then gray covered most of the stone pillars like heavy snow.

German and his companions seemed to be walking in the shadow of a sketch, and slowly, the colors on their bodies blended into it, like ashes after a burn.

"It should be here." Jin paused and looked up at the Möbius strip carved on top of a stone pillar. "That's the mark left by Dong Fulishi."

There is a gap under the Möbius strip mark on this stone pillar. If you look at the other three walls, you can also see such gaps.

"I always feel that as long as I see the Möbius strip, I will feel much more at ease." Biscuit said sincerely.

"Help me look for it." Jin stuffed the paper map into his arms, then walked towards the stone pillar, gently stroking the surface of the stone pillar with both hands, "There should be a secret door."

"Your movements are so disgusting." Biscuit laughed, but he also chose a wall, touched it with his fingers, and hit it with his fist.

German and Xiaodi looked at each other and started looking for it. In the end, Jin found it first.

"That's it!" he shouted. Everyone heard him and walked towards him. "That's right."

Jin pushed the wall in front of him hard, and the wall, which originally seemed to be tightly closed, was pushed forward a little, revealing a dark inner room filled with a dull atmosphere.

With a bang, Jin pushed the stone door to the ground. He waved his hand to blow away the smell of dust: "Let's get some air out first."

After a long time, the crowd came in with flashlights. They covered their mouths and noses and coughed a few times, while illuminating the space inside the stone pillar with the flashlights.

It was pitch black inside, with only a gap on each of the four walls, two or three meters high, serving as a window for air circulation.

Dong Fulisi dug out a cubic space at the bottom of the stone pillar as his temporary residence.

The "Temporary Residence of East Fulish" will be the residence of German and his group tonight.
