Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 29: Reunion with Machi
In addition, there are two other names that deserve German's attention.

"Rat" is Palestine, and "Pig" is Gold.

They are all members of the "Twelve Zodiac Signs", have a high status in the Hunter Association, and have various connections with the Dark Continent.

Pariston is a spy planted by Netero's son Biyangde into the Hunter Association, and has been accumulating strength to return to the Dark Continent.

Netero knew about it but did not stop it.

Jin is a descendant of Dong Fulishi, who wrote "Journey to the New World".

Under the influence of "Journey to the New World", he silently waited for the opportunity to go to the Dark Continent.

Judging from Netero's attitude towards Pariston and King, he is not completely opposed to human exploration of the Dark Continent, but he thinks that the time is not right yet.

Bi Yangde was more eager for quick success. He had already been to the Dark Continent once and was eager to go there a second time.

He doesn't care about the "disasters" that humans may bring back from the Dark Continent.

German didn't like the name "Bijand" because it sounded like an insult.

However, he would not be biased against Yang De because of this, nor would he judge their positions based solely on his own opinions in his previous life.

You can only know who your friends are after you actually interact with them.

After using his hunter license to try out the hunter website, German was quite satisfied and decided to start his next plan.

He took out his cell phone, found the name marked "bad woman" in the contacts, and sent her a text message.

"I may need your stitches in the next few days, do you have time soon?"

As a result, the text message fell on deaf ears and Machi did not reply.

German was not in a hurry either. He came out of the Internet cafe and took a walk along the nearby river bank.

He sat on a bench and rested for a while, during which time he attracted a black cat.

The black cat stared at Germain for a while, then jumped onto his lap, curled up on his knees, closed its eyes and rested.

German didn't chase it away, but gently stroked its fur with his fingers.

When the man and the cat were about to fall asleep, Machi's reply came.

"Sure. Where?"

Germann took a look and replied briefly, "SW City."

"I won't arrive until the morning of the 13th, is that okay?"

"It's ok."

"Then it's settled. The cost will be based on the severity of your injuries."

"clear."

The text message conversation between the two was concise and clear, and it came to an abrupt end at this moment.

German put his phone back in his pocket and looked up at the white clouds in the blue sky and the occasional birds flying by.

Today is the 11th, and Machi will arrive here in two days, on the 13th.

Germain will buy the necessary supplies today and tomorrow, and then after Machi arrives, he will start his journey to the Dark Continent again with the help of a lantern in the early morning of the 14th.

This time his purpose was no longer to hunt the beasts in the dry valley, but to explore the area outside the valley, go as far as possible, and finally set up a new lantern in a safe place.

Germain didn't know what he would face on this journey, so he called Machi in advance.

Maybe her "Thought Suture" will work after he returns, maybe not, but it's better to be prepared.

At noon on January 1, there was a knock on Germain's door at the Opera Hotel.

He opened the door and saw Machi, who had a ponytail and a cold look in her eyes.

"I'm sorry I'm late." Her apology was cold and without any regret. Then, after looking German up and down, she said, "I don't see any external injuries on you."

"I'm not injured now," German replied.

"'Not injured now'?" Machi frowned in surprise and confusion, "What does that mean? Are you going to fight the enemy later?"

There was no need for Germain to answer her question, but he simply handed her a room card.

"Here is the room card for the room next door. I have already paid in advance for the room until the morning of the 15th. During this time, I may come to you to treat your injuries. If I don't need to, I will let you know."

Machi took the room card, was silent for a while, and put it away.

"Okay. I'll be in the next room until noon on the 15th. If you want to extend the time, you need to tell me in advance."

"it is good."

Machi didn't waste any words. She picked up the small gray cloth bag she was carrying, turned around and left, swiping her card to enter the next room.

Although they were all members of the Phantom Troupe, they were not familiar with each other and there was no need for any small talk.

At one o'clock in the morning on the 14th, Germain stayed in his room at the Opera Hotel and used the "Hunter's Badge" to materialize a glowing lantern on the floor.

Germain turned off the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, allowing the room to fall into darkness, which was then filled with the purple light of the lantern.

The four little ghosts were like shadows, never leaving the lantern, and staring at Germann with eager eyes.

German could feel their desire, and when he reached out his finger to one of the little devils, he once again heard a cry of surprise and disappointment.

The lantern showed two lines of words.

“Lantern Location: Dark Continent, Dry Valley”

"Cooling time: 8 minutes (cooled down)"

With a buzzing sound, German and the little ghost, hand in hand, flashed in the purple light of the lantern, and disappeared without a trace the next moment.

Teleportation in an instant, day and night reversed.

Once again, German came to the dry valley in the daylight.

As soon as I landed, I heard the whistling sound of the wind. A burst of dust blew into my field of vision before it dissipated, revealing the riverbed with stacked rock layers on both sides.

Turning around, he saw that the cooling time of the lantern had doubled to 16 minutes, which was not beyond his expectations.

He carried a bulging backpack, took out a compass, looked around for a while, and walked towards the entrance of the valley.

During this time, German encountered the flesh-sucking bug, which was probably the most common creature in the valley.

They came fluttering in, like tireless horses and carriages.

He hunted a few of them at random, drove away the others, and dug out a "color-changing stone" from the body of one of them and put it in his backpack.

This way I can report to Biscuit.

As for the poisonous fog centipedes and the gale ripple moths, he would just ignore them when he saw them unless they attacked him actively.

With the flamethrower, it is also very effective in dealing with these giant insects.

However, Germain tried to avoid fighting whenever possible.

Firstly, he didn't want to stay in the valley for too long, but hoped to explore as far as possible.

Secondly, their value has been greatly reduced, especially the venom of the poisonous fog centipede. Now the antidote has been developed in the dark world at a very fast speed.

German came to the gourd-shaped river valley entrance, walked on a gravel road, and finally left the dry river valley and walked into the wilderness.

He maintained the "hidden" state of restraining his breath and the "circular" state of exploring his breath. The further he went, the more vegetation he could see, and the more strange creatures he could see.
