Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 285 Painful Bloodthirsty Apostle Ripening Three Times a Year

It has been almost two months since we last met, and both Bisiji and Menqi have changed a little in appearance.

They all brought spare clothes, and not just one or two sets, but the clothes they were wearing still had many signs of damage.

These traces were probably left after fighting with the plant weapon parasites.

They have not stopped their efforts to eradicate the plant weapon parasites in the past two months. With the high tower as a safe house, their operations have been relatively easy.

Biscuit had cut her hair short before, but now it has grown a lot longer, with the ends of her hair reaching past her earlobes, and she still looks very fresh.

Men Qi still had five braids.

After living in the tower for a while, she originally disliked the trouble of having so many braids and didn't want to do it. She even wanted to cut her hair short like Biscuit.

However, Biscuit was willing to take the initiative to help her maintain her image and urged her not to cut her hair, so the five braids were retained.

But there is a price to pay for doing so.

She needs to be Biscuit's "makeup doll" when she is bored in her spare time, or in other words, a "Barbie doll" that she can play with.

Biscuit's ability to read is "Magical Beautician Miss Cookie", which has a lot to do with her personality.

The beauty-loving Biscuit not only wants herself to be pretty, but also wants Menqi to be beautiful and cute, or at least pleasing to the eyes.

Biscuit uses the makeup equipment she carries with her, with the help of "Magic Beautician Miss Cookie", to do makeup for Menqi every day.

Originally, "Magic Beautician Miss Cookie" could have done the makeup effect, but she insisted on doing makeup for Men Qi herself to get a sense of accomplishment.

This can be regarded as Bisiji's own unique way of relieving stress.

At this time, everyone could see that Men Qi's lips were obviously very moist and shiny, and her cheeks were slightly red, and she looked like a beautiful woman.

Men Qi saw that everyone's eyes were focused on her face. She lowered her head in embarrassment and gently rubbed off her lipstick with the back of her hand.

Bisiji obviously didn't notice Menqi's little movements behind her, otherwise she would have stopped him and prevented Menqi from wasting her masterpiece that took almost half an hour to create.

She was surprised and happy to see German, Xiaodi, Buhala and Sambika, but her expression soon changed and became serious.

"German, did you release the "circle" just now?"

Germain nodded.

"It's me, what's wrong?"

Biscuit frowned, and his wine-red eyes looked German up and down, carefully, like a printing press scanning.

"I feel that this energy is very familiar, as if it belongs to you, but it is more powerful than it was two months ago, which makes me a little uncertain..."

She stared at Germain suspiciously.

"What on earth happened to you in the past two months?"

German pursed his lips and didn't explain right away.

"We can discuss my affairs in detail later. We need to understand the current situation. Where did Jin go? What's going on with the vortex outside?"

Bisji and Menqi really wanted to know what had happened to German in the past two months, and they also wanted to know what happened to Xiaodi, Buhala and Sambika.

However, Jin, who is not present, and the whirlpool of blood outside the tower are indeed more important.

So, the topic changed.

"In the past two months, our exploration has expanded."

Biscuit explained.

"The number of plant weapon parasites in the ancient labyrinth city is decreasing. We have successfully opened a passage from here to the outside world."

"So, we started to move outside the ancient labyrinth city and record more fresh creatures through various equipment."

"However, Jin's ambition obviously prevents him from stopping here."

"A few days ago, he took the necessary supplies, said goodbye to us, and headed west, promising to return before December 12."

"We wanted to stop him from taking this risk, but he insisted on doing it and repeatedly said he would not force us. In the end, we had no choice but to let him go."

It turned out to be the case.

Jin was not a person who was willing to obey the organization's arrangements, otherwise, he would not have been given the title of "Idiot" among the "Twelve Zodiac Signs".

He is a maverick, and even Netero and Germain cannot control him on some matters.

Not to mention that his ancestor was Dong Fulishi, and the inheritance of this bloodline destined him to not easily stop in a place like the ancient maze city.

The ancient labyrinth city is only located on the edge of the Dark Continent near Lake Mobius. There are more lands in at least three major directions that have not been fully excavated.

But... Jin chose the west... It seems that he is still upset about the last time he got a clue that seemed to be Dong Fulishi, but ended up with nothing.

Biscuit pointed to the blood vortex outside the tower and said to Germain:
"You should have guessed it, right? The reason why there are fewer and fewer plant weapon parasites in the ancient labyrinth city is that they all selflessly sacrifice themselves."

"The blood sea vortex only appeared today. We just noticed it and came to the bottom of the tower to observe it closely. Then you were suddenly teleported here."

"As for why there is a bloody whirlpool, I think the answer is already in the "New World Chronicle East Chapter Fragment"."

"The Painful Bloodthirsty Apostle will revive every once in a while, and now is its revival ceremony. You teleported here and just happened to run into it."

As if to confirm Biscuit's words, the originally gloomy sky outside was suddenly dyed blood red, becoming extremely gloomy.

Looking out of the windows of the tower, everyone could see a dark cloud tornado in the sky twisting and rushing down, plunging into the whirlpool of blood.

Suddenly, red light shot up into the sky.

The dark cloud tornado dissipated with a bang, and from the whirlpool of the sea of ​​blood stretched out thick, swaying vines, holding up a round ball and stretching out of the sea.

The surface of the sphere had a metallic luster, but the next moment cracks appeared on it, and it slowly bloomed like petals.

The rich aroma filled everyone's nose in an instant.

The painful and bloodthirsty apostle, like a jellyfish, gradually rose into the air and twisted its tentacles in the air.

Really reborn...

Bisiji, Xiaodi, Menqi, Buhala and Sambika all looked solemn when they saw the giant beast flying in the air, knowing that a battle was about to begin.

Especially Bisiji, she was one of the four people who faced the painful and bloodthirsty apostle, and she knew very well how cruel this monster was.

However, Germain had a different idea from them. Since everyone had the habit of recording their journey to the Dark Continent, Germain clearly remembered that the last time they defeated the Painful Bloodthirsty Apostle was on September 9th.

It is now December 12th, which means that the rebirth of the Painful and Bloodthirsty Apostle will take at least three more months.

What Germain thought was that if controlled well, the Painful and Bloodthirsty Apostle could produce "three harvests a year".

In this way, the production of "healing herbs" may be relatively stable.

Because of Biscuit's height, she could only stand on tiptoe and hold on to the window of the high tower with her hands to look out.

"Looks like we have to fight again. We can't let them trap us in the tower."

"German, let's work out a strategy. Although Jin is not here, with so many more people, it should be enough to deal with it."

"Sambika should not participate in the battle. He should be responsible for treating the wounded. The rest of you should cooperate with each other and attack their weaknesses..."

German suddenly raised his arm and interrupted Biscuit's words.

For some reason, his action had some unspeakable power, causing Bisiji and the others to quiet down and look at him.

"I want to try it, one on one."

Bisiji thought he had heard it wrong and looked incredulous.

"H-huh? What are you talking about? Three months ago, it took the combined efforts of four of us to defeat it! And now you want to go it alone?"

"Correct."

Bisiji was stunned for a moment and was about to get angry, but when she saw the serious look on German's face, she frowned and calmed down.

"Do you have any basis for this?"

Germain held up three fingers.

"First, this painful and bloodthirsty apostle is not as strong as the last time. This is because it has just been reborn, and this is the time when it is the weakest."

"If it wants to regain its former combat power, it must use its scent to lure more living creatures into the maze, then let the plant weapons parasitize them and then sacrifice their flesh and blood to it."

"Secondly, we are all very aware of the weakness of the Apostle of Pain and Bloodthirstiness. We have defeated it once before, and that experience is invaluable."

"Third, my combat power has improved during this period of time. It shouldn't be a problem to defeat it one-on-one."

Biscuit held his chin and thought for a while before he raised his head and stared at Germain.

"I basically agree with the first and second points. As for the third point, is there any significant evidence for the 'increase in combat power' you mentioned?"

"The 'circle' just now doesn't count, you..."

At this moment, German released the "circle" again.

But unlike the previous time, this time he brought murderous intent into the "circle".

The dark murderous intent radiating from "Circle" made the hunters present tense up and forced them into a defensive stance once again.

No matter how much he trusted German, it was difficult not to respond to the murderous intent that suddenly engulfed his whole body.

However, this time, they had a completely different feeling than the last time.

They were now like being trapped in Germain's palm, and Germain's palm was slowly clenching!

Everyone's pupils shrank, revealing expressions of astonishment and nervousness that could not be concealed.

Biscuit swallowed the second half of the sentence he wanted to say.

The painful and bloodthirsty apostle who was already floating in the air also sensed the dark murderous intent and couldn't help but pause for a moment.

However, the existence of the tower still prevented it from making any effective response.

In the blink of an eye, the "circle" shrank back to Germann, and the murderous intent disappeared without a trace, just like a sudden rainstorm, which came quickly and went away quickly.

German turned his head and looked down at Biscuit.

"Here's the proof."

Biscuit looked at German seriously, then she looked away and sighed softly.

"It seems that I am not the only one who has been concentrating on my training in the past two months... Moreover, the gap between us has not narrowed, but has widened."

"Since you insist, then go ahead. After the battle is over, tell me in detail what happened during this period of time."

Germain nodded and climbed up to the window.

He jumped out of the window and into the sea of ​​blood below.

Xiaodi raised her hand slightly at this time.

"Bisiji, I can actually tell you what he went through."

Biscuit glanced at her and shook his head.

"You can't. I don't believe your description, it's so confusing and some parts might even mislead me."

"That's true." Xiaodi closed her mouth self-awarely and adjusted her glasses.

Bisji added: "German, the person involved, must be the one who knows the whole story best. Even if I have to ask someone other than German to explain, I would choose Sambika."

She leaned her face towards Sambika, who was about the same size as her, and smiled.

"Right, Sambika?"

Although Sambika was covered tightly, he still didn't dare to look people in the eye out of habit.

Faced with Bisiji's question, she even took a step back.

"Hey... Sambika, your half-step back really hurts my heart. We haven't seen each other for a few months. Are we so unfamiliar with each other?"

"I...I...no, no..." Sambika hesitated and waved his hands, as if he was really afraid that Biscuit would misunderstand him.

Just when Biscuit was teasing Sambica, suddenly, German's mental energy burst out.

I only heard a loud bang from below, and in the blink of an eye there was another explosion in the air.

Then, just when everyone was finally able to react, the huge body of the painful and bloodthirsty apostle in mid-air began to fall!
