Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 526: Walking among the misty creatures
Germann was directly teleported to the last of the eleven special teleportation points - "Fang Bay".

Fang Bay, as the name suggests, is shaped like a fang, with extremely sharp sides and a narrow middle, just like a fang or canine tooth.

In this way, the "eleven stars" that served as guides have all been lit up, and the "twelfth star" that had never appeared before has finally emerged.

「Teleport point——The gate of the dark wall」

German was not in a hurry to go over, he still needed to get the "key" from the "mist-like creature", which was a necessary condition for entering the "dark space".

At this time, strange changes had already occurred between heaven and earth.

The originally clear sky was suddenly covered by layer upon layer of dark clouds. The sun disappeared quietly, and night fell without any warning.

Not long after, a red waning moon, surrounded by numerous stars, rose into the night sky, bringing a bloody color to the whole world.

hum-

German instinctively felt a swelling in his head, but he quickly suppressed it and continued walking forward.

At this time, the tide began to rise in Fang Bay, and the sound of water was roaring.

He looked back and saw that the sea in the distance was surging with waves, one higher than the other, and the sea breeze made the trees on the shore tremble.

It seems that the "deep sea" has also started to move.

German used the lantern to sense directly, and indeed he sensed that the underwater city was slowly climbing upwards and would soon reach the surface of the sea.

Everything is going according to the plan, except that if one of us, Deep Sea or I, makes a mistake, the other will fall into hell.

German walked through the wet mud and branches from the narrow end of the Fang Bay to its end.

The creatures of the bay that were supposed to be active nearby, fat lizards, jagged crocodiles, ugly birds like vultures...

They retreated back to their nests one after another when the world changed drastically, and the surroundings became eerily silent.

German looked up and saw the scarlet crescent moon, which was in a stalemate between becoming complete and incomplete, and the changes were visible to the naked eye.

Apparently, that was Deep Sea's way of delaying.

He continued walking forward, and soon he felt the presence of many little guys nearby, some were approaching him, some were moving away from him, and some were motionless.

These are the "fog bio-dust".

The "fog-like biological dust" moved through the soil, rocks, and bushes almost unimpeded, like a cloud of drifting black smoke.

Their bodies are like a black potato, with two hands and feet, both of which are very short. When they walk on the ground, it is as light as walking on the moon.

"Eh."

"Eh."

"Eh."

This is the sound made by the "mist creatures", like a chorus of frogs, and their posture and sound are exactly the origin of their name.

German ignored them and just walked forward.

A few "mist-like creatures" plucked up their courage, took steps with their short legs, and pounced on us while saying "Ahhhhhh" like children learning to speak.

They grabbed Germann's trouser legs and hugged his thighs, and the "Eeheeeh" sound slowly turned into human language.

"Play with me."

"Play with me."

"Play with me."

German lifted his legs and shook them off. They floated in the air for a few times like dandelions before landing lightly on the ground and then chasing him relentlessly.

Finally, a majestic voice stopped their actions.

"Children, please step back... Don't bother our guests."

All the "mist-like creatures" that were learning human language and running after German stopped and turned around and ran away.

After a while, there was no trace of any "fog-like creatures" around.

If it were an ordinary adventurer, he would have been entangled by them all the way, and the adventurer would be influenced by the bewitchment and make a wish with a price.

However, the three costs of the wisher have to be borne by his fellow travelers, which will of course arouse resentment and dissatisfaction among his fellow travelers, and thus the fellow travelers will also make a wish.

At the same time, the wishes that are fulfilled by the wisher often have unexpected results and impacts, which are far from his previous psychological expectations.

When greed and revenge arise, they will make wishes to different "mist-like creatures" one after another, and constantly drag the entire team into the abyss.

In the end, only this kind of record, written in the style of the Spring and Autumn Annals, remained:

"It seems that they had some kind of dispute due to the influence of the 'fog-like biological dust', and all those who came back alive have become mentally ill..."

This kind of thing would naturally not happen to Germann now, but he couldn't help but think of the famous thriller suspense novel - "The Monkey's Paw".

In simple terms, a couple is given a monkey's paw and can make three wishes with it.

Their first wish was to get 200 pounds, but it was not fulfilled after waiting for a long time.

Thinking the legend of the strange monkey’s paw was just a joke, the couple soon learned that their son had died at work and the compensation was exactly £200.

The wife, heartbroken over the loss of her son, asked her husband to make a wish to the monkey's paw to revive their son.

The husband was forced to make a second wish, and then there was a violent knock on the door.

The wife tried frantically to open the door, but the husband keenly noticed that the noise outside was too horrible and did not sound like something a normal human could make.

Was their son really resurrected? And even if he was, was he still human?
The husband was horrified when he thought about it.

So, in fear, before his wife desperately and hysterically opened the door, the husband made a third wish to the monkey's paw.

In the end, there was nothing left outside the house.

German doesn't believe in perfect wishes. Even if you want to make a wish to the dragon, you need to collect seven dragon balls and there are restrictions on resurrection.

"All gifts bestowed by fate have already been secretly marked with a price." This can almost be applied to "The Monkey's Paw", "The Mist-like Creature" and German himself.

The sound came from the front, and two huge figures suddenly appeared in front. They were two giants sitting at the entrance of Fang Bay.

There were two giants, one male and one female, both with silver hair and wrinkled skin, and they looked very old and weak.

The old man's chin was covered by a thick beard, which made him look like a fisherman or a hunter.

The old woman's face was haggard and lifeless, and her eyes did not move at all, as if she had been dead for a long time.

They are the "greedy and crazy old giants" and the "source of disaster" here.

German showed no fear at all and walked straight towards them.

"We should have started a war." The old man shook his head, "But we can never be your opponent. Besides, we already know your intentions."

He extended a hand, and an old, silver-gray lantern slowly emerged.

"Please take it. I think the master is already waiting for your arrival."
