Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 417 Okay, now Germain is really here
The storm in the dark night is like a giant beast that never stops roaring and raging.

The large iron sheet above Tokarinu and Xiutaina's heads began to shake, and they couldn't help but worry that it would be blown away by the strong wind.

After waiting for a while, they both breathed a sigh of relief as they found that the big iron sheet was still firmly rooted in the soil despite shaking.

Tokalinu raised her voice slightly, otherwise the clanking of the large iron sheet would be enough to cover the human voice: "It seems that you also know a lot about Germain."

"Yes." Xiutaina nodded. When he saw Tokarinu shaking his head and pointing at his ear, he understood and said loudly, "I know him!"

"The danger level of the Chimera Ant is the rating set by the professionals at our International Passage Permit Office!"

"I've seen the list of members who annihilated the Ant King last year, and the biggest contributor was Germain!"

"However, experts all believe that President Netero deliberately gave most of the credit to Germain in order to increase the reputation of his promising young junior!"

"It's just like our Special Agent Section Chief asked me to represent the International Passage Permit Office. It's the support of the seniors to the juniors!"

Tokarinu grinned. "Really? Is this how you view the Chimera Ant Crusade? Oh, and by the way, where are those professionals now?"

"Two broke their necks on the BW1." Xiutaina shouted with a frown. He found that he didn't feel much sadness about the death of his colleagues.

"There are still some missing...more people are at the gas stations or on the Six Continents," he added.

"They are really professional then." Tokarinnu gave a fat and short thumbs up sarcastically.

She turned to Xiutaina, but became sincere: "You are braver than them, at least you dare to follow us professional hunters here."

Xiutaina felt neither sadness nor joy. He just tried his best to force a smile out of politeness.

He wanted to ask more about "Rat" Germain and "Pig" Jin, but Tokarinu suddenly covered his mouth with his hand.

"Quiet."

She pricked up her ears like a hound that heard the slightest movement, listening alertly and observing with her squinted little eyes.

All Shutaina could hear was the noise caused by the storm, everything was in chaos, and he didn't know what Tokarinu heard.

However, Tokalinu was a professional hunter and she knew what she was doing, so Xiutaina decided to trust her and keep quiet.

Tokalinu took back the hand that was covering Xiutaina's mouth.

"What the hell." Unexpectedly, Tokarinu cursed in a low voice, then turned to look at him, "Listen, there must be a few monsters nearby, and they 'smelled' the spirit emanating from my body."

Xiutaina's face turned pale quickly, and his eyes behind his glasses revealed fear: "Then what should we do?"

"Do nothing." Tokalinu warned, "The more you do, the more mistakes you make... Let's keep quiet, maybe it won't find our exact location."

She added, "I only have four or five minutes left to replenish the mental energy needed for a teleportation. As long as we can hold out for this period of time, we can move to another place."

However, she was not sure whether changing the place would be safer.

Xiutaina didn't dare to say anything, but just nodded like pounding garlic, and his thin-rimmed glasses were about to slip off his nose.

At this time, he could also vaguely hear some strange noises coming from the storm, disrupting the originally consistent rhythm of the rain curtain drumbeats.

Tokalinu put a fat finger on his thick lips, signaling him to be quiet, then pointed to the ground, and the two of them lay down together.

Xiutaina was frantically swallowing the saliva secreted from his mouth. He didn't even know that he could secrete so much saliva at one time.

The two of them lay prone on the muddy and wet ground.

Tokalineu was still able to breathe steadily, but Xiutaina's breathing was quite rapid. They were all waiting.

The strange noise did not go away, but got closer and closer. From time to time, there were clanging sounds as if the deposits on the coastline were being turned over.

Tokalinu frowned, then looked towards Shutaina, and saw the man with glasses trembling and pursing his lips, staring down at a stone, as if he had entered another world.

She knew that she couldn't count on Xiutaina, but she had to ensure Xiutaina's safety.

Tokalinu understood what his mission was, which was to deliver Shutaina as intact as possible to President Netero or the members of the Twelve Branches.

In addition, if he can be sent to Nob, then Shutaina's life can be basically guaranteed.

I just need to hold on for another three or four minutes...Thus thought Tokalinu, who maintained his "absolute state", concealed his breath and recovered his mental energy.

However, contrary to expectations, the noises came closer and became louder, like the plop of a cane poking in the soil.

Xiutaina had to face the reality. He could not pretend not to hear it. He could only grit his teeth and endure it silently.

It will probably take another two or three minutes... Tokalinu felt the energy in his body uncertainly.

Regardless, she reached out and grasped Shutaina's wrist, ready to start the teleportation as soon as she recovered the necessary energy.

When she grabbed Xiutaina's wrist, she clearly felt Xiutaina shaking violently.

However, he made no sound, he just trembled uncontrollably.

That's quite courageous, Tokarinu thought.

However, Xiutaina's mental state is not very good. It should be said that the mental state of all the passengers on BW1 is not very good, and I am also a little affected...

We have to find the psychiatrists in the exploration team as soon as possible. I hope they haven't all gone crazy before their patients do.

There are still one to two minutes left... Tokalinnumer calculated and suddenly felt something strange, as if it had been quiet for a while.

Could it be that the monsters left?
No, that's impossible. Even if they left, they shouldn't have left quietly. In other words, they stopped.

stop……

Tokarinnu heard a scream beside her, and then saw with her own eyes the terrified Shutaina being dragged backwards.

There were drops of water on Xiutaina's wrists, which were too slippery.

Tokalinu tried hard to catch him, but it was too late and she could only watch him being taken away.

She looked back quickly and saw a long hook extending from the crack behind the big iron sheet, which hooked Xiutaina out.

Tokalineu quickly crawled out of the big iron sheet and prayed silently in his heart: Please, don’t be eaten, don’t be eaten!

There was only one minute left. If the person she was protecting died and she evacuated safely, she would not know how to face the members of the exploration team who had entrusted her with the task.

Tokalinu squinted his eyes in the heavy rain, and indeed saw three monsters standing like long shadows.

Xiutai Na was caught in the claws of one of the beasts, bleeding from his struggle, but at least he was not dead yet.

currently there is not.

That monster was the tallest among the three, with extremely high claws covered with fur, supporting its body at the highest point.

The monster opened its mouth wide, revealing its sharp, densely packed teeth arranged in a ring, enough to chew up the mortal body of Xiutaina.

For a moment, Tokalinu couldn't tell whether this was a monster transformed from the passenger of BW1, or a ferocious beast that had originally existed on the imaginary continent.

He must be saved.

Tokalinnu stretched out his short legs and rushed forward.

She wouldn't think that she could defeat these three monsters by herself. She was just a supporting Nen user.

These monsters surpassed her in terms of their mental power alone, not to mention their hard shells. One or two of her attacks were simply not enough to penetrate their defenses.

However, as long as she could save Shutaina and hold on for another half a minute or so... maybe a minute? Not sure, as long as she could hold on, both of them could escape from this dangerous situation through the "swing slide"!

Tokalinu rushed over, but saw the monster's hook swung, and the hooked Xiutaina was thrown off, falling into the huge mouth of the abyss with a scream.

It's too late, it's all over... Tokalinu stretched out her hand, but the distance was so far that it might become a nightmare for her in the future.

A flash of white light passed by, illuminating the coastal cliffs and reefs as bright as day.

Then, there was a rumbling sound of thunder.

Tokalinu lost her vision at that moment, and when she focused her eyes again, she did not see the monster chewing on Shutaina's body.

Xiutaina was gone.

And suddenly, the monster was split into two like ribs on a chopping board, and fell to the ground with two bangs.

What happened? She couldn't understand what was going on for a moment.

Tokarinnu vaguely saw a residual image, but it disappeared in an instant, so that she wondered if she was hallucinating.

bang——

The second monster flew up as if it had been uppercut...

Oh my God, such a huge body actually flew up and then fell heavily!

The third monster was as confused as Tokalinu, but at least it knew to instinctively retreat and retreat again.

Until a green light flashed, and it inexplicably collapsed like a mountain and broke into several pieces of flesh and blood.

The battle was over in an instant, and the three monsters that were quite difficult and terrifying for Tokarinu fell down.

She wasn't even sure if even three seconds had passed.

The howling of the storm once again replaced other sounds in the night.

Tokarinnu wiped the water droplets from her round and fat face, squinted her eyes, and finally saw a figure with certainty.

The raindrops didn't hit the tricorn hat and robe, but were blown away in all directions by the spiritual energy.

A large sword-like green light disappeared from the man's hand, like a dream.

He lifted the brim of his black hat, revealing his eyes in the shadows, which were like black well water without any ripples.

The man was walking towards himself.

Tokalinu was a little at a loss. She waved her hands and feet in panic, not knowing whether she should stay where she was or teleport away immediately.

Only then did she think of Xiutai Na again... Oh, I can't abandon him... She quickly turned her head to look left and right, trying to find the man with glasses.

As a result, Tokalineu saw a giant almost two meters tall appear next to her, so quietly that it scared her.

"You actually reacted like this..." Tokarinnu heard the giant make a rude sound that was familiar yet unfamiliar to her. "It's been too long since we last met. Have you forgotten me?"

When Tokalinu looked closely, she realized that there was a familiar face on the giant's face.

"Biscuit?" She was surprised. "Is it really you? But, why are you here?"

Tokarinnu knew very well who the members of the Hunter Association's exploration team were. In any case, President Netero's female disciple should not be here.

Then, Tokalinu noticed that Bisgi was holding someone in his arms.

Bisiji put the man on the ground, and the man collapsed on the ground, too scared to get up, but Tokarinu could still recognize that it was Xiutaina.

He didn't die, Bisiji saved him...that's good, that's good.

Bisiji did not answer Tokalinu's question at this time. Instead, he looked down at Xiutaina and sighed, "I didn't expect that I would be the one hugging someone else after waiting for decades. What a huge disappointment."

"German has hugged me like this several times." Another figure came over, but it was a strange female face, wearing bulky black-framed glasses, as heavy as the fat on her chest.

However, Tokalinu was still keenly aware that the young woman seemed to have mentioned "German" just now.

How did they get involved with Germain again?

Biscuit turned his head and put his hands on his hips: "Xiao Di, what are you showing off to me? As long as I want a princess hug, I can have it anytime."

"Why?" a third voice joined in, and Tokalinu looked in surprise at another person who shouldn't be here.

"Hai Zhu" Jin came over, and with his unshaven beard, he teased, "Are you going to use your fists to convince them? It would be too much for them to lift someone as strong as you."

"I can use my fists to convince you to change your disrespect for me," Biscuit threatened.

"Haha, I don't disrespect you, I'm just stating the facts..."

"Alright." The last voice was like a heavy hammer falling, making their conversation disappear and even calming the violent storm in the sky for a moment.

"Rat" German, wearing a tricorn hat, walked over, first glanced at the stunned Tokarinu, then stretched out a hand to Xiutaina who was lying on the ground.

Xiutaina calmed down a little, looked at the hand that was extended to him, grabbed it subconsciously, and then was pulled up lightly by a force.

He stood up, adjusted his glasses, looked at the four strangers who appeared in the darkness, and then looked at the only person he knew here.

Although Tokalinu was confused, she at least recovered from her shock.

She pinched her waist hard to make sure she was not dreaming.

So, when Xiutaina looked at him with a pleading look, Tokarinu spread his hands:
"You've always wondered why not all twelve members can join this colonization voyage. Well, the remaining two are here too."

Xiutaina was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and turned to look at the faces of the four people, especially the faces of the two men.

It turned out that they were not strangers. Xiutaina had seen these faces in the photos of the public information list of the Hunter Association members.

"Rat" Germain, "Pig" Kim, "Gem Hunter" Biscuit and... who is this guy?

Xiutaina didn't remember seeing the young woman with big blinking eyes and short black hair on the list of Hunter Association members...

Maybe a less famous professional hunter?
For example, among the members of this exploration team, Xiutaina saw many professional hunters for the first time.

However, whether it is the Hunter Association Exploration Team or Tokalinnu, don’t they all insist that "Rat" German and "Pig" Jin are not in the team?

So, how did they appear here? Did they fly over across the vast ocean?
Tokalinu himself didn't know the situation, let alone answer Xiutaina's questions.

She just said, "Okay, now we are both safe."

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Tokalinnu, a professional hunter. I'm mainly responsible for transporting personnel and supplies in the Hunter Association's exploration team."

"This is Xiu Taina, the special commissioner of the International Passage Permit Office. I have been ordered to ensure his safety and take him out of danger."

She turned to the frightened Xiutaina and said, "These three are professional hunters, Germain, Jin, and Bisgi."

Xiaodi blinked her big eyes.

"This one..." Tokarinnu was troubled, "I don't think I've seen him before."

"You can just call her Xiaodi." Biscuit helped her, "She is an amateur hunter... But, believe me, she is more professional than many professional hunters."
