Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 230 "The Special Connection Between the Eleven Lanterns"

A piece of white paper with slightly curled corners was spread out on the floor at the top of the tower. A simple and plain form was printed on the paper with the title "Dangerous Organisms Evaluation List".

After eliminating the "disasters" that do not need to be paid attention to for the time being, the "Dangerous Biological Evaluation List" only retains "Immortal Disease" and "Plant Weapons" for horizontal comparison.

The former is the target of this mission, and the latter is an object that has actually been encountered and can serve as a reference. Their overall evaluation is B+, which can be said to be on the same level.

To be precise, the "Dangerous Creatures Evaluation List" does not reflect the overall or individual combat power of this type of creature.

It reflects all aspects, including "ferocity", "number", "reproductive ability" and "destructive power". To put it bluntly, it is the average value of this species.

In other words, even if a dangerous creature has a "ferocity" of B, it is not surprising, but normal, for an individual to suddenly appear whose "ferocity" actually reaches B+ to A-.

The "Dangerous Species Evaluation List" has reference value, allowing humans to understand the habits of dangerous organisms before actually contacting or conducting in-depth research on that type of organism.

However, it is dangerous to stick to paper data rigidly and not proceed from the actual situation.

The former "V5 Exploration Team" might have failed in this regard, otherwise, they would not have sent a large and complex team of more than 1000 people to the territory of the "Human-Beast".

For a team of more than 1000 people, self-management alone is a big problem, not to mention surviving in a place like the Dark Continent, and finally facing the threat of the "human-breeding beasts".

The fact that seven people were able to return may be a miracle and a blessing.

In any case, the "Dangerous Organisms Evaluation List" does have a certain role.

"- List of dangerous creatures evaluated -"

"-Brutalism-"

"Immortal Disease: C- (Individuals can reach A-)"

"Plant Weapon: B (Individuals can reach A-)"

"-quantity-"

"Immortal Disease: E"

「Plant Weapon: C」

"-Reproductive Ability-"

"Immortal Disease: B-"

"Plant Weapon: B-"

"-Destructive power-"

"Immortal Disease: B-"

"Plant Weapon: A-"

"-comprehensive-"

"Immortal Disease: B+"

「Plant Weapons: B+」

"It's pretty clear." Germann drew a circle around "Immortal Disease" and "Plant Weapon" with a pencil. "Immortal Disease is rated lower than Plant Weapon in every aspect."

"The only thing that can compare to "Plant Weapons" is "B-level reproductive ability."

Jin, Biscuit, Xiaodi and Menqi all sat quietly in a circle, each making their own little movements, their minds either memorizing quickly or thinking constantly.

Germann circled "quantity" again: "The biggest shortcoming of "Immortal Disease" seems to be that it only has the "quantity" of E, which means there is only one."

"However, this assessment is not actually very meaningful. It means that there is only one disease, the original "Immortal Disease" itself, and there are no other variants or branches that are far different."

"This is a disease that refuses to evolve and mutate, and perhaps that's why they remain 'immortal'."

"Anyway, this is a good thing for us. It means that we can also use the same method that the East Fulish used to solve their problems two or three hundred years ago, using the herb that cures all diseases."

Then, Germain circled "Destructive Power": "The Destructive Power of the Immortal Disease is only B-, because it is avoidable."

"What is known is that after obtaining the "alchemical plant", the Bi Yangde team accidentally deviated from the original route on the way back and was then attacked by the disease."

"Even in this case, of the six people who survived, only one actually contracted the disease, so the infectiousness was low, which is why its "ferocity" is only C-."

"This is a disease that is limited to certain areas. Only when we step into its territory and the environment is suitable, the "ferocity" will soar to A-." "Of course, we have the "herb that cures all diseases" in our hands."

"The four doctors brought by Sambika and Grandma Linnie made some minor changes to the developed medicine, which is enough to take effect quickly and fight against the "Immortal Disease."

"However, we should be prepared for the worst. If possible, we should try our best not to enter the area where the "Immortal Disease" is located."

At this time, Jin took over the topic and said: "The distribution map of the "Immortal Disease" is very scattered, not connected together. They are like mines buried in that area."

He took out a map from his bosom, spread it out in front of everyone, and said, "This map was drawn by Dong Fulishi in the "New World Chronicles: Dong Pian Fragment". I believe you have all seen it."

The map was a rough topographic map, filled with bright red pieces here and there like a puzzle, marking the area where the "Immortal Disease" was located.

These large areas are relatively easy to avoid, but the most troublesome are the red dots, which are small areas that also have the "immortal disease".

"They are distributed this way because these places have the right environment for them to thrive."

"However, two or three hundred years have passed, and there is no guarantee that the environment has not changed. We'd better not trust this distribution map completely, because it is different from the "map of the ancient maze."

"The 'Ancient Labyrinth' is a dead, closed environment, but the 'Immortal Disease' is alive."

“So, no matter what situation we are in, we must ensure that we have the “Herb Potion of All Diseases” with us. This is the most important thing.”

"When the time comes, each of us will carry some of the 'Herb of All Diseases Potion', and the majority will be kept with Xiaodi's 'Pop-Eyed Fish'."

After Jin finished his comments on the "Immortal Disease", he turned the topic back to German.

German asked everyone if they had anything to add, and when everyone shook their heads in the negative, he moved on to the next topic.

"Now let's talk about my Teleportation Lantern. As you all know, my Teleportation Lantern will double its cooldown time after it is used once."

"According to this rule, the 'Transfer Lantern' I own can only be used again after 10 days. However, this rule has now been broken."

No one was surprised. Germain had already told them about this when he arrived at the "ancient maze tower" last time and discovered those "special teleportation lanterns".

"To return to Greed Island, we still need to wait for the 10-day cooling-off period. It's the same to go to the "Dry Valley", "Mud Land", "Spider Valley Bottom", and "Ancient Maze Entrance". "

"But, of the 'teleportation lanterns' I currently own, eleven are interconnected, including the one on the tower. There is no cooling when teleporting between them."

"This means that I can travel back and forth between these eleven 'transmission lanterns' in a very short time."

"But..." Everyone waited for Germann to change his mind again. "I'm not sure what the price is. I need to try it out once before I can get the answer."

"What do you think the price will be?" Biscuit asked with concern.

"Actually, there is a reference." Germann looked at Biscuit and Xiaodi, "Do you remember what happened when we arrived at the World Tree in April?"

Biscuit and Xiaodi looked at each other.

Of course, they would not forget that Yun Gu was also in the team at that time, and the four of them were attacked by the invisible "Wall-Facing Man" in front of that magnificent wall.

After the attack, they were forcibly teleported to the vicinity of the "Ancient Labyrinth".

Jin and Menqi had read "The Dark Continent Observations" written by Biscuit, and they still remembered that passage clearly. They also asked German and others to verify it at the same time. When they were reminded at this time, they remembered it.

"The 'Teleportation Lantern' reaches the destination instantly, while the 'Wallfacer' takes several hours to reach the destination. This is the difference between the two types of teleportation, but the cost should be similar."

"Every time I teleport between those eleven 'teleportation lanterns', I may be infected with 'stress', 'traits', 'diseases', etc. Of course, these are all speculations at the moment."

"In addition, since one of the 'Teleportation Lanterns' is located on the 'Ancient Labyrinth Tower', the remaining ten will also be inside the 'Pandora's Box'..."

“That’s a more reasonable assumption.”

The "Pandora's Box" that Germain refers to is the area where all "disasters and hopes" coexist, such as the "ancient maze" where they are now.

"Since we are in Pandora's Box, we must be mentally prepared... We must be mentally prepared to encounter disasters or other dangerous creatures as soon as we arrive at our destination."

Germann's last words were serious.
