Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 317 The sharpest blade can change the situation

Boom boom boom——

The muzzles roared, and the power of the explosion caught the unprepared Meteor Street combat troops apart in the middle, with screams ringing out.

Like a broken watermelon, red and black pieces of flesh were scattered everywhere.

Wearing white protective suits, they raised their guns and fired in panic without even waiting for orders from their two nominal superiors, Machi and Paknotta.

However, the bullets hit the three steel behemoths, but apart from splashing sparks, they did not cause any actual results.

They knew very well why the demons had three tanks, because they bought them from the outside world, but they were snatched away by the demons not long ago.

And almost all of their anti-tank rocket launchers, guns, grenades, etc. are now in the hands of the demons.

This means that the Meteor Street combat troops can only use everything they have to stop these three behemoths and the demons that are eyeing them from all around.

"Destroy their tracks!" After losing three tanks on the Meteor Street side, Machi was already thinking about how to deal with them.

She glanced at Germain, Xiaodi, Kurapika and Shira. At this point, given the current situation, it was impossible for her to attack them.

Machi even prayed secretly, hoping that they would not take this opportunity to backstab the Meteor Street combat troops.

If we are attacked from both sides, the consequences will be disastrous!
Apparently, Paknotta was thinking of the same thing.

The eyes on her high nose bridge met Machi's gaze, then she glanced at Germain, Sheila and the others, and turned to face the real enemy in front of her.

Now is not the time to tangle with them.

The Meteor Street combat unit followed Machi's orders and attempted to approach the tank and destroy its tracks, stopping it from moving forward.

However, the demons soon saw through their plan.

Howling——

bang——

The rockets penetrated the dense rain, leaving long tails behind, and exploded between the Meteor Street combat troops.

"spread!"

Machi gave the order again, and thoughts shot out from her fingers, powerfully wrapping around one of the rocket launchers. She turned around and threw it back.

bang——

The rocket launcher exploded on one of the tanks, a flash of fire suddenly appeared, and then there was thick smoke.

The hatch on top of the tank was immediately opened, and several demons crawled out one after another, jumped to the ground, revealing their hideous faces.

This is what's even worse... Machi thought.

Normally, an explosion would stun or kill any living creature inside the tank, but the demons were too strong; they were not human at all!

Even without tanks, rocket launchers, and guns, these demons are still terrifying monster-level enemies.

The Meteor Street combat troops had already dispersed by this time, hiding behind garbage piles, houses, piles of corpses and other shelters, and fired back at the demons.

However, they knew that their counterattack would not have much effect.

Before this, they had many heavy weapons that were enough to kill and repel ordinary-level demons.

However, with several failed battles and the massive loss of weapons and equipment, the offensive quickly reversed.

The Meteor Street combat troops had been fighting day and night and were already exhausted. The demons' sudden attack during the rainstorm tonight might be the last straw that broke the camel's back.

If possible, Meteor Street really wants to use "Poor Rose" or explosives of similar power to end this nightmare that has never ended.

However, due to Meteor Street's usual crazy style, some terrorist organizations feel inferior to them, resulting in no one being willing to resell the "Poor Man's Rose" to them.

The people of Meteor Street dared to use human bombs to threaten outsiders. If we give them the "Rose of the Poor", I really don't know what they would do.

Even the most greedy arms dealers would not dare to take such a risk.

Having completely lost hope in weapons, all their hopes fell on the most valiant and combat-capable team in Meteor City - the "Phantom Troupe".

This is why Machi and Paknotta stood back to back and did not charge forward.

If one more of them falls now, it will deal a fatal blow to the morale of the Meteor Street combat troops.

So, they adopted a defensive counterattack strategy, waiting for the demons to surge up, and then counterattack in coordination!

Paknotta will shoot "memory bullets" at the demons, and the demons hit will be in a brief trance for about one second.

Inserting unfamiliar memories into the mind will cause a very short period of memory confusion, and this is an opportunity.

This is equivalent to Paknoda causing the enemy to become stiff, and then the harvest is left to Machi's thoughts, which are both flexible and extremely sharp.

Chi chi chi——

The heads and torsos of several demons that were standing still due to confused memories were cut off by the threads of thought. Blood spurted into the air, dyeing the rain and mist red.

However, there were still a large number of demons, many of which were familiar faces to the members of the Meteor Street Combat Team. They rushed over and tore the weak soldiers to pieces.

Screams continued to ring out in the rainy night. The scattered soldiers fell one after another. When they tried to gather together, they were bombarded by tanks and rocket launchers.

"We can't continue fighting!" Paknoda fired another "memory bullet" and accurately hit a demon, causing it to stop in its tracks. "Too many casualties!"

Machi also understood this. She used her mind to tear off the heads of several demons around her and shouted out the order again: "Retreat! Retreat!"

However, a galloping black shadow flashed by and fell over their heads, revealing its tall body in the dim light.

The spider's legs clung to the tilted pile of garbage, revealing the demon's old-man-like face.

"I, Paiku, would never want to lose the favor of the 'Queen Ant'... Oh... Fortunately, the 'King Ant' gave me a chance."

"The Ant King said that as long as I complete this mission, I will be able to make further progress, and the Ant Queen will definitely look at me differently."

Boom—there was a sound like muffled thunder in the distance. Machi and Paknotta turned their heads and noticed flames rising from one direction.

Soon, they understood what Paiku meant by "mission" and their faces turned pale. That direction was the base camp of the remaining forces of their Meteor Street.

Machi and Paknotta were mistakenly led here, and the real main attack started in another direction and had already reached the vicinity of the base camp.

They actually broke through multiple defense lines and attacked the base camp in such a short time. I'm afraid at least all of their "direct guards" are there!

We have to hurry back!

There is only the knight there, and he can't hold on for long on his own!
With their minds racing, Machi and Paknoda turned around and were about to run, but Paiku jumped over and blocked them in the middle of the road.

"You can't go back." Paiku murmured, holding a black pill in his hands like puppet joints and putting it into his mouth, "You can't go back."

What did it eat?! Machi and Paknoda were inexplicably surprised.

In an instant, black, ferocious energy shot out from Paiku's body. Its outer shell began to crack, spewing out scarlet flesh and black pustules.

The entire body expanded in an instant, and soon it turned into a giant spider two stories high. The old man's face cracked, revealing sharp spider claws.

Its voice gradually became low and terrifying.

"If I take the medicine from the 'Ant King', I will become stronger... As long as I can hold on and survive, I will be able to go one step further and become a 'Direct Guard'!"

"I will become the "direct guard"!"

It puffed up its swollen abdomen and, as if it couldn't wait to vent, it continuously spit out a sticky spider silk web.

Each spider web, when unfolded, is large enough to cover a tank.

Several members of the Meteor Street Combat Team who were accidentally caught in the web were crushed into countless pieces of meat and sauce in the rapidly tightening spider web!
Machi and Paknotta retreated hastily, but Paiku's spider web was obviously aimed at them, and the "ammunition" it spewed never stopped.

boom--

There was another explosion of thunder in the distance, with thick smoke and flames shooting up into the sky. Even on a rainy night like this, it was clear to see.

Machi and Paknoda were both very anxious and didn't want to continue fighting here, but they didn't have a good way to counter Pakno.

If it was the previous Paiku, Machi could handle it alone, but the current Paiku's physique is terrifyingly strong.

The thread of thought she threw out was unable to tear or cut Paiku's joints.

However, Paiku's evil aura was gradually affecting the people around him, including Machi and Pakenoda, who all felt dizzy.

This feeling of being enveloped and controlled makes them feel disgusted, but they cannot get rid of it quickly.

Could it be that these girls with "spider" tattoos will really fall into the hands of a spider monster tonight?

At this moment, the situation of the battle, which had originally meant that the Meteor Street combat force was completely overwhelmed in less than two minutes, suddenly changed.

Several black shadows shuttled back and forth, and then more and more demons fell down. Then, the remaining two tanks were also destroyed, like opened cans, with smoke rising!

Machi and Paknotta saw it clearly.

Kurapika wields the silver chain, Kodaki hammers down the bulge-eyed fish, and Germain slashes with devastating blows!

At Sheila's repeated request, they took action.

German and Xiaodi were both orphans from Meteor Street. They had been helped by the cathedral and protected by the elders and combat troops.

They came tonight not only for Sheila, but also to repay the favor, even if Meteor Street did not welcome these two traitors.

As for Kurapika, his purpose of following here was self-evident.

He could have just sat back and watched Machi, Paknotta and the others get killed, but he was not the Phantom Troupe after all.

This is a person who knew what Wo Jin had done to his people, but still left Wo Jin's body intact after his death and buried him with his own hands.

The actions of the three people turned the situation of the battle almost instantly, so much so that Machi and Paknoda felt dazed, as if the previous disastrous defeat had never happened.

They were even more surprised by how powerful German and Xiaodi were.

Xiaodi...is that really Xiaodi?

They were not familiar with Xiaodi, but after all, they were all from Meteor Street and had met several times before, so they were considered acquaintances.

At that time, Xiaodi was just a scavenger in the dark world, and was not as powerful and famous as these "Phantom Troupe members".

But now she is completely different. With a bulge-eye fish in her hand, she is almost invincible. All the demons fall before her and turn into the corpses of dead chimera ants.

What really frightened Machi and Paknotta was the man in black robe.

He was even scarier than when we met at Stonehenge a few months ago!

Our mortal enemy has grown to this state... and yet we have no choice but to look up to him and wait for him to eliminate the enemy in front of us!

Humiliation and unwillingness filled their chests, almost suffocating them.

German disappeared in the lightning, and after the lightning, he suddenly appeared above Paiku.

Paiku's spider roar quickly turned into screams and whimpers, because the Holy Moonlight Sword had pierced through his back!
boom--

The close-range explosion caused pain in Machi and Paknotta's eardrums, and the blue light that filled their vision rose from the ground like a pillar!

boom--

In an instant, the swollen spider turned into dust all over the sky and mixed in the heavy rain.
