Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 503: Riding a carriage to the west bank of Lake Mobius
Crunchy——

A carriage was traveling on a mountain road in the dim night. From time to time, the wheels would hit stones, causing the entire carriage to shake.

Two black-haired horses pranced about, pulling the huge carriage at an incredibly fast speed.

They had been running for several kilometers without any signs of fatigue, not even foaming at the mouth or groaning.

Not only that, their eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, never fluctuating at all, they only knew to rush forward.

This is because they are not living creatures.

Inside the slightly swaying carriage, there was an oil lamp in each of the four corners, emitting a soft, dim light that intertwined the shadows of the three people.

German, Dong and Jin were the three passengers in this galloping carriage, and there were only three of them.

In the ancient maze castle, Don asks Germain if he is still willing to go with him after learning about the risks of the journey.

German thought of Xiaodi who was far away in the New World and their unborn child.

However, because he thought of them, German agreed without hesitation.

Even if it means taking a terrible risk, he has to go and resolve this crisis which is even more terrifying than the chaos caused by the "God of Grudge" more than a year ago.

He couldn't let the "God of Flesh and Blood" complete the swallowing of the east and west banks of Lake Mobius, because then the future of mankind would be completely ruined.

It is so tragic that after so much effort and sacrifice, we still have to retreat into the tiny turtle shell of the Six Continents and wait for the end of the world.

Also choosing to go along is King, who, in addition to always having a great interest in the West Coast, will also be a good helper to German and Dong.

In contrast, Biscuit has to stay in the ancient maze castle.

Even though they have killed four large monsters including the "Prophet of Lies", this does not mean that the offensive against the Ancient Labyrinth Castle will be completely over.

Bisiji is the strongest fighter besides the three of them, and she needs to stay here just in case.

Germain can also sense the situation of the ancient maze castle through the lantern teleportation point, and he can teleport back directly when necessary.

However, Biscuit had to stay there to provide a safety net until Germain came back.

That night, Germann revealed the truth behind the chaos in the New World and the tide of flesh and blood monsters to Shutaina and the core members of the Hunter Association.

Some people already knew about the "God of Gu" and the "God of Flesh and Blood", some had suspicions for a long time and have only just got confirmation, and some are completely confused and were bewildered by what they heard.

Xiutaina had personally experienced the chaos. He had seen those ferocious monsters, witnessed that horrific storm, and felt that indescribable feeling of oppression.

Later, the Hunter Association gave an investigation report that something went wrong with the "Egg in the Pot Ritual" of the Kakin royal family, which summoned evil creatures and turned people related to the royal family into evil creatures.

Xiutaina accepted the results of the investigation, but he was always keenly aware that the Hunter Association was only telling part of the truth.

Only now did he learn how earth-shattering the hidden part was.

In fact, after seeing the gatekeeper of the boundary gate, the guide of the ferry ghost ship, and the deep sea city on the bottom of the sea, he has developed a strong ability to accept.

Coupled with the more than one month he had spent traveling through the sea of ​​trees from the coast of the Dark Continent, he believed that no matter what he saw or knew in the Dark Continent next, he would not be surprised anymore.

Unexpectedly, the inside story revealed by German still shattered his three views, making it difficult for him to accept it for a while, and he just sat in the chair. German did not have extra time for them to digest the truth. After he finished speaking, he immediately left with Dong and Jin.

Those who stayed here would, just like they did in the chaos, use the ancient labyrinth as the core and slowly gather nearby subhuman survivors or other creatures that could communicate.

In the battle, there are Bisiji, Mo Laowu, Guanxi and others, and in the logistics, there are Qiduo, Nuobu, Menqi and others. There is basically no problem in surviving in this area.

The three people sitting in the carriage have to go deep into the hinterland of the west coast, overcome all obstacles along the way and complete their three major missions.

First, attract the attention of large monsters like the "False Prophet" on the west coast, let them chase the carriage, and relieve the pressure on the east coast.

Second, follow the steps described by Dong, destroy the "ritual stone formations" one by one, and weaken the power of the "God of Flesh and Blood".

Third, if possible, kill that "demigod".

No matter how slim the hope is, one cannot deny one thing: the probability of a human being killed by a cat is low, but it is definitely not zero.

At this moment, inside the carriage, the different sitting postures of the three people fully demonstrated their different personality traits.

German sat upright, his hands on his knees, looking calm and composed.

Dong huddled in a corner of the carriage, wrapped his black robe tightly around him and pulled his hood up as if he was very cold.

Jin was half lying down, with his hands clasped behind his head and his legs crossed relaxedly on the bench.

"Dong." The unshaven-bearded Jin took the initiative to speak, "We have been on the road for a while. Isn't it time for you to tell us where we are going?"

Germain, wearing a tricorn hat, also raised his head from his thoughts and looked towards the east.

Dong nodded and said, "Before that, I am very grateful and relieved for your courage, especially when you know what you are about to face."

German said nothing, while Jin spread his hands. In fact, the meaning was the same: they were all prepared.

Dong paused before continuing.

"Humans, Chimera Ants, Moose Centaurs, Fierce Foxes... Any individual of any race that has developed to the extreme level will be the "king" of that race."

"The King has developed one or more aspects of his will, wisdom, strength, speed, etc. to a point far beyond that of other individuals of the same race."

"After that, if they want to become stronger, they will be affected by talent, potential, aging, environment, thoughts and other aspects. Sometimes, not only will it be impossible to make further progress, but they will even regress."

"Soon, the 'king' became self-aware or gained 'knowledge' from the 'demigod', knowing that in order to break this bottleneck and limitation, he needed external help."

"They set up a 'ritual', and used the 'ritual' to set corresponding rules, involving other lives in an area and nourishing the main body."

"After that, the best of the 'Kings' will go through the 'Ritual' and ascend to a new level, which is the realm of 'Apostles of God'."

"So, if multiple 'Rituals of the Apostles of God' are in operation, occupying a large area and using the creatures here for their own benefit, what they will eventually raise is a 'demigod'."

"This is true for The Grudge, this is true for The Deep Sea, this is true for Flesh and Blood, and this is true for Darkness."
