Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 508 Two-thirds of the Destination in the Tower

The four-wheeled carriage sped at lightning speed, causing a violent gust of wind, smashing the flesh and blood monsters along the way, setting off waves of scarlet blood, and rushing into the distance.

Jin sat at the front of the car, but he was never able to completely relax. The presence in the car made him feel more and more unfamiliar and more and more difficult to get along with.

Especially his current posture, exposing his weak back to the other party - he trusted German, but the instinct caused by this approaching power was not easily overcome.

However, Jin was sure that Germann was not really asleep. The fact that the carriage was still speeding and never went in the wrong direction showed that Germann was still conscious.

Even without German's remote control, the carriage was still running along the route set at the beginning.

German simply fell into a state of chaos, a state that Jin could not understand, a state that only he could understand.

Suddenly, this chaotic state disappeared, and Jin's feeling of being on edge also disappeared naturally.

Jin breathed a sigh of relief and looked back in surprise.

"I'm sorry." As Germain opened the curtain and got out of the car, his first words were apologies, "I got in too deep just now."

Even if he didn't actively try to sense Jin's thoughts, because the distance was too close, those chaotic thoughts would still enter his mind.

As soon as Jin heard it, he realized that his thoughts were exposed. He asked with some embarrassment and curiosity, "What have you gotten yourself into?"

"It's a strange state," German explained. "It's like my soul has left my body and is traveling around the world."

"Traveling around the world?"

"Yes... I said that my soul wandered around the places where I had planted or lit lanterns. Can you understand?"

Jin felt incredible, but after a while, he accepted it: "Now no matter what happens, I won't be surprised."

He asked again: "German, what do you think this state will bring to you?"

"I don't know." Germain answered truthfully, "I can see Xiaodi who is pregnant, President Netero at his desk, and Biscuit directing the construction of the castle..."

He did see him. He was floating less than one meter away from them at the time, but they couldn't see him and were still concentrating on the things at hand.

Xiaodi's pregnant belly is already very obvious. She is wearing a loose dress and walking very quickly.

Instead, the woman who took care of her carefully protected her belly and was extremely nervous.

After confirming that Xiaodi was fine, German turned around and floated away.

“I can’t touch them,” he told King. “I don’t know what this means or what this means for them.”

The only thing German could be sure of was that he would emerge from the teleportation point every time and then be able to start wandering around.

The range of his "soul wandering in the sky" is several kilometers in radius with the teleportation point as the center. If it is farther away, he will not be able to go any further.

In other words, this state is definitely related to those lanterns.

"A magical ability..." Jin said, "Since there is no clue now, let's be optimistic and make good use of this ability..."

Germain nodded in agreement.
-
The area where the next ritual stone formation was located was quite far away. The carriage traveled from the end of February to the beginning of March before we could barely see the rising mountains.

The carriage climbed up the cliff, encountering more and more flesh and blood monsters along the way.

They gathered in dense groups and acted without any reason, with the sole intention of dragging any living thing off the carriage.

An entire four-wheeled carriage was overturned by the crowded flesh and blood monsters, and rolled down from the edge of the cliff. Before it fell to the bottom of the valley, it turned into spirit energy and dissipated.

Of course, German and Jin, who were originally in the carriage, were standing safely on the edge of the cliff.

On this narrow path, the carriage was too heavy, not to mention that the destination was almost reached, so they simply abandoned the carriage. The two men took action, one interweaving silver and black, the other flashing gold, and cleared a bloody path like cutting melons and vegetables.

During this time, they still had time to talk.

"Dong has been out of touch for over a week." Jin pointed to his head. "The map is still in our minds, which means we are still connected to him."

Jin meant that Dong should not be dead or unconscious, otherwise neither he nor German would be able to use the map.

"What on earth is he doing?" Jin kicked a flesh-and-blood monster that jumped up and flew away. "Could it be that he only appeared because we destroyed all the ritual stone formations?"

German raised the Holy Moonlight Greatsword and used a beam of green light to blast apart a large group of flesh and blood monsters that were trying to catch up.

"Jin, do you still remember what Dong said about the 'blood curse' on him? He said that it was acquired after he met the 'God of Flesh and Blood'..."

"You mean..." Jin frowned, "After returning to the West Coast, the influence of the "God of Flesh and Blood" on him became stronger?"

German nodded. "We can't expect a man who can't protect himself to accomplish anything. Let's be more realistic and think about how the two of us should proceed."

"You're right, we need to be practical."

They decided not to include Dong in their future plans for the time being, and no longer worry about Dong's situation.

Not only is Dong in trouble, their current situation is not much better.

The two men rushed all the way to the mountainside, and after bypassing a smooth stone wall that blocked their view, they saw the tall tower built against the mountain range.

This tall tower has a spiral twisted structure on both the upper and lower floors. In between the two is a dark red spherical residence that flashes strange light from time to time.

German and Jin looked at each other, and then walked quickly towards the bottom of the tower. Looking back, they found that the flesh and blood monsters had chased them here and stopped chasing them.

It seems that they still instinctively dare not enter this forbidden area.

The two saw a heavy door. After pushing it open, they revealed a very spacious space inside. They were like two tiny ants breaking into a strange room.

boom!
The door closed automatically behind them, and the echo between the walls became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.

The two walked to the center of the room and noticed a spiral stone staircase, which should be the only way to the red spherical residence in the middle.

Swah——

Suddenly, the sound of rushing water was heard.

There are several holes in the bottom floor of the tower, and at this moment, large amounts of water are continuously pouring into the palace on the bottom floor from those holes.

In a short while, the icy cold water soaked the entire ground.

The surging water was above German and King's knees, and the water level was still rising.

In one of the holes where water was gushing out, someone was suddenly singing loudly. The voice was hoarse and intertwined with each other, with no sense of coordination or rhythm.

Their singing seemed to deliberately disturb people's minds and make them more anxious.

Suddenly, a tattered boat floated out of the cave, rising and falling with the water, with four burly men with strange blue light all over their bodies riding on it.

One of them had a white beard that reached down to his waist and wore a pirate hat. He was obviously the captain of the pirate ship that suddenly appeared.

Not only that, under the rising water level, undercurrents were surging, and a huge figure could be vaguely seen swimming with its tail wagging.

It was like a shark, swimming around Germain and King.
