Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 44 Distinguishing between Main Attack and Feint Attack
German raised his head and looked at the three people who suddenly appeared in his room.

The three "Yin Beasts" sensed his intention from his gaze and the release of his mental energy, and couldn't help but frowned.

"This guy...this murderous aura...is he serious?"

"The three of us blocked all of his escape routes, and his companions were also restrained by the bats and were unable to come to support him."

"But there was no sign of retreat on his face. Did he really think that he could handle the three of us all by himself? What an arrogant idea!"

For a moment, the expressions on the faces of the earthworm, leech and owl were quite interesting.

In the entire world, they are certainly not the top group of "Nen users", but they are not weaklings who can be killed at will.

Otherwise, the "Ten Old Men" would not have hired them as members of their direct combat forces.

They haven't experienced this feeling of being naked and treated as prey for many years. It feels both familiar and unfamiliar.

The experience of being able to scare the other person to death just by saying that he is one of the "Yin Beasts" does not work at all on German.

"He is indeed a madman from Meteor Street." Earthworm said, "Leech, Owl, don't give him any chances. I guess Sick Dog and Porcupine fell for this because they wanted to capture him alive."

"Okay." Leech and Owl responded in unison.

The three of them tacitly rushed towards German from three different directions at the same time.

German stood up, without any intention of despising the enemy, but carefully judged which "yin beast" to start with.

His brain is a clearly classified intelligence station. Ever since the fights with the porcupine and the sick dog, he has already retrieved intelligence on known "yin beasts" in advance.

The earthworm is most likely a "reinforcement type" that can travel underground and can also cut off part of its body to survive when necessary.

Leeches are most likely "manipulators" who can manipulate the leeches raised in their bodies to make them drill into other people's bodies, destroy their bladders by laying a large number of eggs, and cause others to die from severe pain.

Owl, "materialization system", can materialize a piece of gray cloth. As long as it can wrap anything, whether it is a living thing or a dead thing, it can be contained and released at any time.

Germann's greatest advantage is not his "psychic ability", but his valuable information, which prevents him from dying from "first sight killing" and allows him to find ways to target it in advance.

Of course, having intelligence doesn't mean he will definitely win the battle.

The simplest example is that he knows the "Nen ability" of President Netero, Zeno Zoldyck, but it is of almost no significance because the gap in hard power is too large.

He knows Netero and Zeno's moves, but he can't avoid them. This is German's current situation.

The "Yin Beast" in front of him is different. In a one-on-one situation, German has a high probability of winning against any "Yin Beast", but he has to be more cautious when facing one against three.

German actually had a lot to think about at this moment, but in fact only a moment had passed.

"puff!"

The earthworm suddenly released a large amount of energy. He was very aggressive and chose a frontal attack posture. He strode closer and swung his fist like a meteor hammer towards German's face.

"This guy is most likely feinting. The terrain and space of the hotel floor are not conducive to the deployment of his abilities, so he actively released a large amount of mental energy to create the illusion that he is the main attacker."

Germann made a quick judgment.

Even so, the earthworm's feint punch was threatening enough that he had to dodge it.

German dodged the fierce punch by leaning sideways, glancing at the remaining two "Yin Beasts" out of the corner of his eye, observing their little movements.

Leech vomited a large mass of twisted, fat leeches from his mouth, his palms full of sticky yellow juice, he grabbed a handful of fat worms in each hand and threw them at Germain. Of course, the time when his ability poses the greatest threat to people is when the leech is in another person's body.

However, for leeches to enter German's body, they must go through the mouth, nostrils, ears, anus, wounds, etc. Otherwise, they can only attach to the skin and suck blood.

"Therefore, leeches are not the core of tactical attack." German made the second judgment.

The earthworms and leeches launched the attack first, all in order to confuse German and thus relax his guard against the last man.

Germann waved his hunter robe to block the wriggling leeches that were flying towards him, and then he materialized a flamethrower without hesitation, but aimed the nozzle at the owl that had quietly crept up behind him.

The safest way to fight is to attract the attention of earthworms and leeches head-on and catch them with the owl's gray cloth.

According to previous intelligence, German is also a "materialization type" who can materialize strangely shaped meat saws and muskets. He is good at close combat and has no medium or long-range attack methods.

This allowed the owl to approach smoothly, and as long as he could be successfully wrapped in the "convenient big wrap", his movements could be restricted.

Regardless of whether Germann had a way to break free from the "convenient big wrap", the moment he lost his vision and could not fully move his hands and feet was enough for the three "Yin Beasts" to decide the outcome.

However, the earthworm, leech, and owl were unable to anticipate that Germain would suddenly materialize a weapon beyond the intelligence provided.

"Back off!" The earthworm's face changed drastically and he shouted decisively.

When it is unclear what kind of weapon it is, even if the other party is just bluffing, temporarily retreating is the most appropriate option.

Leech paused when he heard this.

But the owl was too close, and the gray cloth was spread out and almost covered German. It was impossible to retreat at this time.

"Damn it!" He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and wrapped himself in the "convenient big towel".

However, after realizing that the earthworms and leeches were just feints, German had been paying close attention to the movements of the owl, so he immediately dodged and stepped back, away from the owl.

After maintaining a distance that the "convenient large wrap" could not cover, the flamethrower in German's hand sprayed a large amount of flames towards the owl.

This is his medium and short-range attack method.

The flames ignited the clothes and the "convenient wrap" on Xiao's body, and the flames became his "new clothes".

Owl cried out in pain, quickly removed the "convenient big wrap", and rolled on the ground, trying to put out the fire.

In order to protect the owl, the leech could only throw fresh fat worms spit out from its mouth at German again. They fell from the sky one by one, looking extremely smelly.

German simply pulled up his hunter's robe to cover his head, and ignored the leeches and continued to attack the owl.

In the absence of ready-made holes to drill into, these leeches pose little threat, except that they are a bit disgusting to have them clinging to your body.

Compared to leeches, Owl's "Convenient Big Wrap" is the "Psychic Ability" that poses the greatest threat to Germann and must be dealt with first.

He wrapped his head with the hunter's black robe, aimed the flamethrower in his hand at the miserable owl rolling on the ground, and spit out the flaming snake again.

At the same time, there was a sudden cracking sound under German's feet, a gap appeared, and a strong arm grabbed his leg.

When German looked down, he saw the pointed head of the earthworm sticking out from the gap. It turned out that the earthworm had already crawled downstairs and then seized the opportunity to launch an attack from bottom to top.

The earthworm's fingers exerted force and pulled German directly downwards. With a bang, the gap was forced to open wider, and both of them fell downstairs.
