Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 468: The Place Where the Victors Return is the Arc de Triomphe
Germain left a teleportation lantern deep in the volcano where the dragon lives, so that he could come back here easily later.

In fact, he could just use six teleportation lanterns here to teleport all six people present back to the teleportation point behind the Deep Sea Gate at once.

But if he did so, his original eight teleportation lanterns would be consumed in one go, leaving only one.

Since this was not an emergency, there was no need to do so, so he gave up the plan.

Besides that, both objectives of their trip had been achieved.

First, capture or kill the members of Biyangde's exploration team and bring the surviving captives back to the New World for trial.

Second, obtain exquisite crystals that are born in the magma deep in the volcano and surpass the seven colors of beauty.

In that case, they did not linger any longer and started their return journey.

This time they were not as urgent as before, so they started hiking, making various marks along the way and taking photos to facilitate later comers to follow the route.

As usual, Pariston did nothing and said nothing, just following everyone like a puppet.

Journey to the West helped to some extent.

In this way, it took them almost a week to return to the Siren Gorge where they had left before.

There were four people when they came, and when they returned to the familiar Siren Gorge, the number increased to six.

German asked Mo Laowu, who had a larger lung capacity, to blow the conch shell given to them by the guide on the shore.

Mo Laowu blows the bell almost every hour to ensure that the guide who is in some unknown sea area can hear it.

The others found a place to camp on the coast and waited slowly.

From time to time, Biscuit would hold a crystal in his hand and rub it carefully, which always made Germain feel as if he was seeing Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings".

However, unlike Gollum, Biscuit gave the most beautiful crystal she liked to German and asked him to go back and find someone to process it and give it to Xiaodi as a gift.

For Biscuit, giving up the most beautiful crystal is a very difficult thing.

But whether it is German or Xiaodi, to her, they are already important people who are on par with President Netero, and she knows that it is worth doing so.

Of course, there are still verbal complaints.

She also often cast lingering glances at German, which once caused Mo Laowu to misunderstand that she was trying to take advantage of a young girl and steal his love.

Xiaodi, on the other hand, didn't notice anything unusual here at all.

After most of the day, the ghost ferry ship finally flew out of the sea, crossed the strait, and arrived at the bay where they were.

The captain who led the way didn't even ask them why they came back so soon, whether the purpose of their trip was successful, and how they got mixed up with the previous group.

He didn't ask any questions, but just urged everyone to get on the boat quickly so that he could send everyone back to the Deep Sea Gate as soon as possible.

He was just a ferry captain and didn't care what his passengers did in the Dark Continent.

The captain knew only one thing: the gatekeeper had made a promise to him.

As long as he and his crew faithfully complete the task of "leading the way across" within a hundred years, they will regain their freedom.

After they are freed, a new group of leaders will replace them and begin the next reincarnation.

The leaders don't like this job, but they have to continue, and the hope that keeps them going is that the gatekeepers will keep their promises.

After another day and night, the ferry ghost ship returned to the back of the Deep Sea Gate.

The leading captain dropped German and his party off at the Deep Sea Gate, then let the ghost ferry slowly sink into the sea and disappear.

The deep sea gate rumbled open, and the gatekeeper's huge body blocked the gate like a wall, staring at everyone.

"I didn't expect you to come back so soon." As the gatekeeper spoke, the tentacles on his jaw kept wriggling, just like his beard.

German replied, "We have achieved our goal, so we are back." The gatekeeper looked at everyone one by one and said:

"I believe this won't be the last time I see you... and it won't be long before this place becomes more and more lively, right?"

"Indeed, more and more humans will travel to the Dark Continent through the Boundary Gate, the Deep Sea Gate, and the ferry ghost ship."

There was no need for Germain to hide something so obvious.

"Hahaha..." The gatekeeper laughed a few times, "I don't care."

"I told you, as long as at least two of them can pass my test, they can pass."

"I forgot how many years ago it was, but it seemed like there were more than a thousand little things like you coming here."

"If two of the best among them pass the test, I will let more than a thousand of them go."

"But what's funny is that in the end, only seven of them came back alive."

The gatekeeper finally said meaningfully: "I hope you won't make such an arrogant and ignorant mistake."

"We won't," German replied.

They left the Deep Sea Gate guarded by the gatekeeper and then came to the courtyard of the Sphinx.

The Sphinx was quite surprised to notice their appearance. Germain and others came back faster than any previous group of humans.

Could it be that they were defeated so quickly? Or, just a short time after setting foot on the Dark Continent, they were frightened and turned back the same way?
However, after reading the memory fragments of the members except German, Sphinx was even more surprised to find that they were not losers.

On the contrary, they brought back a batch of rare crystals guarded by a dragon.

This is a group of winners.

The Sphinx was stunned for a moment, but finally let out a silent sigh.

It seems that German is far more unexpected than Don Fulish.

It nodded to everyone and let them go without doing anything extra.

German and his group left the Boundary Gate, went down the mountain, and came to the shore where two ships were docked. They soon saw the mercenaries emerging from the ships.

Muhlu and other mercenaries were very surprised.

German did say that he would be back within half a month, but no one would take this as a definite deadline, so it was normal for there to be some delay along the way.

没想到杰尔曼一行人12月16日进入界限之门，12月28日就从界限之门中出来了，中间只隔了12天。

It really was within half a month...

Not only that, German also brought back Pariston and Xiyou, two people who were very familiar to the mercenaries such as Muhlu.

Their appearance here indirectly indicated the fate of the other members of Bi Yangde's exploration team, which made the mercenaries feel emotional and fortunate.

Muhlu originally thought that he would feel a little embarrassed when he saw Pariston and Xiyou, but he felt much more relaxed after noticing that they were also prisoners.

He didn't even need to explain anything. He just spread his hands and said that everyone was a prisoner, so there was no need to mention these ugly things. Everything was self-explanatory.

The fastest and most economical way to return to the New World from the Boundary Gate is, of course, to go through the special teleportation point behind the Deep Sea Gate and return to the special teleportation point in the New World Fortress.

However, German did not want to reveal these two teleportation points in front of the gatekeeper, Pariston and Xiyou.

In addition, time was not urgent, so German and his team once again chose to take a research vessel and sail back from the sea.

The two-month sea voyage begins again.
