Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 389 The long-lost bottleneck feeling surged over the whole body
bang——

The wide and thick brown skin suddenly closed towards the center as if a trap was triggered!

German and the others lost their balance in an instant and were thrown into the air. They were about to fall and then roll into the huge mouth full of fleshy thorns in the center!

“It’s like a giant Venus flytrap.”

Like a magician, Germain drew out the Holy Moonlight Greatsword from his palm and warned:
"Be careful of my slashing blows."

Compared to falling into the flesh-thorn mouthparts, his slashing attack was obviously more dangerous, but in order to escape, he had no choice but to use it.

Jin and Biscuit were both startled when they heard the reminder, and then they concentrated and remained alert in the air. They did not want to be affected by German's attack.

Xiaodi was much calmer. She had a mysterious trust in German in this regard.

German took a shallow breath, grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and then swung the Holy Moonlight Sword in a semicircle as if swinging a baseball bat!

boom--

In an instant, the green sword energy was like a waning moon falling from the sky, neatly cutting off half of the huge skin!
bang——

That side of the surface collapsed in the rainforest like a landslide, crushing a group of trees and stirring up waves of gray mud!

The other three successfully dodged the sword energy, landed safely on the ground not far away, and turned to look at German.

Instead of leaving the battlefield, German flew towards the monster as big as a Venus flytrap, holding the Holy Moonlight Greatsword upside down with the tip of the sword pointing directly at its mouthparts!
boom--

Like a cannonball, pure mental energy was released, and the destructive blue light went straight through the center of the mouthparts. The wave suddenly tore the mouthparts apart and spread in all directions!
Green light spread everywhere, as if to devour everything.

After delivering a fatal blow, Germann raised his greatsword and swung away the mixture of scorching rain, steam mist, and muddy debris in front of him, which fell to the ground.

The rainstorm had not yet stopped, mercilessly watering the huge plant remains behind him that looked like broken walls ravaged by war after the green light faded.

The huge plant remains are almost unrecognizable in their original appearance, and the tissues of each part are stuck to the mud and cannot be distinguished.

After putting away the Holy Moonlight Greatsword, Germain walked towards the other three and said, "Sorry, I want to make this a quick fight, so I just said one sentence and then started fighting."

"Nothing." Jin, who had a big beard on his chin, spread his hands and said.

"This is actually a good thing. Your bombardment just now is like the roar of a lion. It will reduce many potential attackers and keep them away from our area."

"The roar of a lion can also demonstrate its strength and attract female lions." Biscuit first complained about Jin's words, and then looked at German in surprise.

"Is it my illusion or the truth? Have you become much stronger again?"

Jin crossed his arms and said, "You just realized it now? I noticed it when Germain just returned to the ancient labyrinth."

"I think that after he returned to the Six Continents, he gradually stabilized the power he gained and improved in the dangerous mountains."

"When a Nen user's strength grows rapidly, there will be a fluctuation period. During the fluctuation period, there will be strong ups and downs. After stabilizing, it will be the real combat power."

"Of course I know this." Biscuit glared at Jin, "I have eaten more salt than you have walked!"

"Yes, yes, you are a senior employee." Jin glanced at her sideways, emphasizing the word "senior employee" intentionally.

"It seems like you want to fight me again!" Biscuit got furious when he saw Jin's reckless expression and his sarcastic words.

Germann spoke at the right time, interrupting the quarrel between the two: "I have been improving all the time, but this time, I feel that I am about to reach a 'bottleneck'."

"I'm familiar with this feeling. I've experienced this feeling before, from 'elite' to 'master', and from 'master' to 'champion'." Biscuit ignored Jin and said seriously:
"I understand that what you mean is that you only need some catalyst to reach the "Legendary Level", right?"

"Yes, at least I feel so."

German broke through the boundaries and reached "champion level" at the end of November last year. Nine months have passed since then.

At that time, he had a hunch that if he wanted to make the leap from "Champion" to "Legend", it would take him much longer than his previous upgrades.

As a result, everything happened as he expected.

Now, that long-lost feeling has finally returned, returned to his palms, returned to his chest, returned to his blood, and is pulsating.

"I really envy you." Biscuit said, "Xiao Di and I are still struggling at the 'Master Level', and Jin has just entered the world of 'Champion Level', but you are almost at the 'Legend Level'."

Xiaodi shook her head and said, "I'm not 'struggling'. I don't care whether I can be promoted to 'champion level' or not. As long as I can help Germain and you guys, that's enough."

"But if you become a champion, you can really help German better." Biscuit said.

"Oh...yeah...then I'll try to become a champion too."

"What do you mean by 'I'll try to become a 'champion' too'?! This isn't a professional hunter exam! This is very difficult!"

"That's why I said, I will find a way." Xiaodi tilted her head.

Biscuit was so stunned by her words that he couldn't utter a complete rebuttal for a long time.

She understood and felt really stupid. Really, this was Xiaodi. It was meaningless to communicate with her using normal logic.

Jin laughed and said, "Perhaps the purer the person, the easier it is to approach the goal... Biscuit, don't let Xiaodi overtake you."

Staying here would not allow Germann to upgrade on the spot, so they waited until the hot rain stopped and set off again.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, they took out some biscuits and snacks to satisfy their hunger when they took shelter from the rain.

As they waited quietly, they heard a loud rumbling noise in the distance.

At first they thought it was thunder, until it continued to come, and then everyone realized something was wrong.

Germann's "circle" reached out and quickly shrank back into his body.

"Strong life reactions, violent emotions, conflicting thoughts... I think it's probably a fight between a group of medium-sized monsters."

The big rain gradually stopped, and the sultry steam was sucked away by the small drops of "bulgy fish" like an exhaust fan.

Germain pointed in the direction where the rumbling noise was still coming from.

"Let's go and take a look, shall we? They would rather fight each other while being showered in the scorching hot rain. This is probably what 'murderous intent' means, right?"

Jin also looked in that direction.

"German, do you mean to say that the "Double-Tailed Snake Hell Bell" is nearby?"

"Yes, observing from a medium to long distance will help us prepare and respond in the event of an unavoidable encounter."

Everyone quickly agreed to German's proposal and walked in that direction together.
