Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 300: Chimera Ants, Hated Like Goblins

Scela's caution was justified, as the slowly moving team was suddenly attacked in the mist of the next morning.

However, their team's lineup is too strong...

German, Jin, Bisji, Xiaodi, Sisaila, Menqi, Buhala, Sambika and a group of moose centaur warriors were all present.

The enemy only had a certain advantage at the beginning of the raid, but when everyone reacted, the enemy suffered a bloody head-on blow.

When Germain held up the "Holy Moonlight Greatsword" in the misty fog, he not only inspired the moose centaur warriors, but also frightened the enemies who were unaware of the situation.

The enemies fled in panic, leaving their corpses strewn all over the muddy road, while the squad only paid the small price of a few injured Elk Centaur warriors.

Sambika, carrying a medical bag across his shoulder, silently ran back and forth among the wounded.

The petite and dedicated figure won the favor of the moose centaur warriors, and they began to be willing to obey the orders of this seemingly frail woman.

After retracting the Holy Moonlight Greatsword, Germann slightly raised the brim of his tricorn hat and stared down at the corpse of an enemy in front of him.

He stood on tiptoes and turned the corpse over, allowing him to see the other person's true face.

The enemy had a cold-blooded animal's face, covered with tiny gray scales and thorn-like protrusions, and a long, curled tongue protruded from its half-open mouth.

He had expandable, light webbed feet on the edge of his thick neck, between his fingers and toes, and on his waist, which helped the enemies launch attacks from the sky.

"They are the lizardmen."

The sound of Scela's horse's hooves stopped beside Germain, and the blood-stained "Spiral Spear of the Gale" in his hand was pointed diagonally at the ground.

Germain turned to look at Scela: "Are you familiar with them? Why did they attack us?"

"Familiar." A look of disgust appeared on Scel'a's long face, and he couldn't help but snort from his big nose. "They are... greedy traitors."

Scela still spoke that broken human language.

After all, the only place this language could be used before was to communicate with the elusive Dong. I didn't speak it much, so of course I wasn't proficient in it.

However, it was enough for Scela to explain the reason to Germain in human language, even if it was halting.

Germann asked him to stop first, then waved to the others to gather together so that Scela wouldn't have to say it a second time.

When Scela saw Jin, Bisiji, Xiaodi and others approaching, he of course understood German's intention, so he waited for a while.

When everyone gathered together and many of them had puzzled looks on their faces, Scela continued to speak.

"In the Dark Continent... the 'small species' among the 'sub-human species'... have always been threatened by the 'large species' and 'medium species'..."

"So... a hundred years ago... the 'Small Species - Subhumans' group... formed the 'Subhumans Watch Covenant'... and the Moose Centaurs also joined..."

"The "covenant" stipulates that... an attack on one tribe... is considered an attack on all allied tribes... and all allied tribes must retaliate..."

"Initially... it was good... it connected the "sub-races" to each other... it reduced casualties... it stabilized trade..."

"But... it slowly deteriorated... like rotten fruit... maggots grew... the greedy "lizardmen" were one of them..."

"They were greedy... they wanted more... they ignored the covenant... they attacked us... they betrayed us..."

"Old Chieftain... I... Chikhorshi... was very angry... and I fought back... and appealed to the Subhuman Guardian Alliance..."

"But... the 'Subhuman Guardian Covenant' didn't help us... but pretended nothing happened... It's really abominable... They also betrayed us..."

As a result, German, Jin, Biscuit, Xiaodi and others finally understood.

Why was Scela's brother Qihorshi so wary of them? It turned out that he had a precedent.

Qi Holxi was just standing on the tribe's side and didn't want the tribe to suffer a second setback.

Suddenly, Germann felt something in his heart.

Since it is a "Subhuman Watch Covenant" exclusive to "Small Species", then will there be... He asked: "Scela, among the tribes you have allied with, are there "Chimera Ants"? Or "Chimera Ants"? "

The body size of the Chimera Ant is definitely within the category of "small species, sub-human species".

At first, Scela didn't understand what species the "chimera ants" and "chimera ants" that Germain referred to in human language were.

However, as German patiently described the "Ant King", "Ant Queen", "Direct Guard", "Division Commander and Army Commander", "Feeding and Mating", etc., he quickly matched them with a race in his memory.

Then, Scela showed a rather subtle expression of disgust even more than when he saw the "Lizardmen".

The expression on his face now is just like the one in the photo of "Old Man on the Subway Looking at His Cell Phone".

In fact, not only Scela, but the other fourteen moose centaur warriors who came with him also showed expressions of disgust.

"I know them... they are not in the "Subhuman Guardian Covenant"... because we are all against them..."

"'Ingestive mating'... is really disgusting... They use the flesh of our compatriots... to form new members... and then attack us..."

"We will never accept them... unless they stop... their 'eating and mating' of 'sub-humans'... otherwise... there will be no room for compromise..."

This time, Scel'a's tone became very excited, and he even mixed in a few words of the moose-centaur language, and foam came out of his tongue.

If he had a human face, he would probably be red with anger now.

After thinking about it carefully, Germain understood why the "sub-human races", including the moose centaurs, hated the chimera ants so much.

The key is "feeding and mating".

First, "food intake".

When German, Biscuit, Menqi and Buhala first came to the Dark Continent, they decided not to eat "sub-humans" or other species that could communicate through words or actions.

This is because "sub-races" are too similar to humans in every way.

However, chimera ants can eat similar humans and sub-human species without any psychological burden. If they were humans, they would also hate this species.

Second, "mating".

The "feeding and mating" method of the "Queen Ant" reminded German of the "Goblins" that have been magically modified in Japanese fantasy comics or novels.

"Goblins" will plunder human women and force them to mate with them without any reproductive isolation, and finally let human women give birth to their offspring.

And no matter how much human blood these offspring have, they all end up looking like "Goblins".

The "Chimera Ants", especially the "Queen Ant", are like the despicable "Goblins", making the sub-human races hate and fear them.

After the matter was made clear, German's team began to move forward.

The tall cubic stone pillars of the ancient labyrinth appeared in their sight, and the tempting fragrance wafted into their noses.

This means that if they walk a little further they will reach the ancient labyrinth.

Everyone was talking and laughing, completely forgetting about the previous attack by the lizardmen and the feeding and mating of the chimera ants.

Jin possessed an outstanding talent for languages. He actually learned most of the words used for daily conversation in the Moose-Horseman language in just half a month.

Now, he could communicate with the moose-centaurs such as Scel'a quite smoothly in the moose-centaur language, which surprised the latter.

Just when Jin was chatting happily with the moose men including Scela, Germain suddenly came over.

"What's wrong?" Jin noticed something strange in German's expression.

Germann said calmly, "I wonder what would happen if we joined the Subhuman Watch Covenant in the future?"

"Wow..." Jin Mosuo raised his stubbled chin, "Interesting idea... If we are sub-humans... If necessary, we can also be sub-humans..."
