Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 56: The Crow of Bones
German looked down at the projection of the "lantern", and as expected, it showed two lines of words.

「Lantern Location: Central Islands of Lake Mobius」

"Cooling time: 1 hour (countdown 59 minutes and 45 seconds)"

The cooldown of the Teleport Lantern should have been doubled to 64 minutes, but it was rounded down to 1 hour.

Although it was only reduced by 4 minutes, it was still a good thing for German and he naturally had no complaints.

He extinguished the "lantern", took back the "Hunter Badge", and then dematerialized the "Hunter Badge". Then he turned to look at Biscuit and Xiaodi who were still observing their surroundings.

Biscuit walked back and forth with his phone, and finally gave up: "Sure enough, there is no signal, but the camera, recording, memo and other functions of the phone can still be used."

She will be responsible for recording what she sees and hears from time to time. German will be responsible for reconnaissance and combat. Xiaodi may not remember this, so she will have to take charge of it.

Regardless of whether this is the "Dark Continent" or a well-concealed magic realm or secret realm, she will do her best according to the division of labor agreed upon in advance.

Xiaodi squatted at the edge of the muddy land, observing the traces of the corpse of the Lord of Crows being dragged away, which extended all the way to the depths of the large reed forest that was burned. After a long while, she stood up.

"I didn't see a single crow." Xiaodi's big eyes didn't blink, like a puppet. "Should we look deep in the reed forest?"

"Let's stick to the original plan." Biscuit confirmed with both hands that her ponytail was tied tightly, and then said, "What we need now is to safely spend the hour while the Lantern cools down."

"German dealt with the Lord of Crows in the Silt Land a few days ago, so this area should be relatively safe for the time being. I think it's better to take a safe approach..."

Before she finished her words, the noisy, intertwined crow calls were heard from deep in the reed forest, and small black shadows flew into the air and landed on the tips of the tall reeds.

"No way?" Biscuit put his hands on his hips helplessly, "I just finished talking..."

Xiaodi looked at Germain.

"I did kill the Lord of Crows." Germann knew what her eyes meant and replied.

The tips of the reeds were slightly bent by the group of black shadows, and the several eyeballs on each crow turned and looked at the invaders.

"Ah!" A crow opened its mouth and cried out, and the other crows joined in, making a constant noise for a while.

But the next moment, they suddenly stopped shouting, closed their beaks, and their eyeballs looked towards the depths of the reed forest, where they flew up.

After a strange "Plurulu" sound, reeds as tall as trees were pushed aside by a pair of skeletal wings, and a corpse with only a skeleton and a ball of flesh in the middle appeared.

It still maintained the tall silhouette of the Lord of Crows, but the burnt feathers and rotten flesh originally attached to its bones had all been pecked clean by the crows.

However, this means its "nirvana".

The original Lord of the Crows was indeed killed by Germain, but the crows in the Silt Land would not allow themselves to lose their leader.

When only a skeleton was left, the crows used their own flesh and blood as well as the flesh and blood of other beasts they pecked at to fill in the bones and piece together a set of fresh internal organs.

At this rate, after a week, the Lord of Crows' flesh and skin would be basically regenerated, his black wings would grow almost the same size, and even his eyeballs would open one by one.

It was supposed to be quietly waiting for its flesh and blood to grow in its nest in the muddy land, but it suddenly appeared at this moment because it felt that the invader had returned.

This was told by its natural "circle" that was enough to cover a large area of ​​muddy land, and then the cries of the crows confirmed this. The Bone Crow paused in the muddy land, and then let out a deafening, angry howl at German, which made German and the other two cover their ears with their hands.

The mud began to fluctuate with the screaming sound, circle after circle of mud ripples spread out, and pairs of white bones poked out from the abyss.

They pieced together the outline of the bones that originally supported the body and crawled out of the mud, with sharp teeth, long whips made of tailbones, armor-like shells, and so on.

About twenty bone beasts, with the screams of bone crows, rushed towards German and his two companions with ferocious momentum.

"You seem to have really pissed off these crows." Biscuit has used "Concentration" to observe the enemy's situation. "It uses screams to control these dead skeletons."

Germain looked at the Bone Crow behind the Bone Army and said calmly, "Biscuit, Xiaodi, these 'Bone Puppets' are now in your hands."

"I know, just checkmate!"

Bisiji responded and strode forward. He swung his right arm like a hammer and smashed the head of the nearest "bone puppet" with his fist, causing debris to fly everywhere.

However, this "bone puppet" that had lost its skull did not hesitate at all, and its bone claws still grabbed the nearest Biscuit.

"I gave the most basic order to attack the nearest creature..." Bisquis's thoughts were as fast as lightning, "All the bones in my body are weapons. Only by breaking them into pieces can I get rid of the "operation"."

She dodged the bone claws as best as she could, then suddenly stood firmly in her horse stance, and with her petite body, she threw an incredibly powerful and fast punch forward!
The entire skeleton of the "bone puppet" was shattered and broken in an instant, and fell to the ground with a "puff"!

"Bang!" Xiaodi on the other side also used the "Bulging-Eyed Fish" to smash the body of an invading "Bone Puppet".

"Little drop!" Biscuit took a look and shouted, "Isn't your "Popeye Fish" able to absorb inanimate objects? Use it on them!"

"Eh?" Xiaodi smashed another "bone puppet" with the "bulgy fish" and waved his hand at Biscuit, "No. They can still move. If they can move, they are alive, right?"

Biscuit kicked a "bone puppet" apart with a whip kick. Hearing this, he couldn't help but curl his lips: "You are really strict in your 'restraint' on yourself."

"Psychic ability" is ultimately the ability to combine mind and matter. The conditions and scope of "restrictions and oaths" proposed by oneself are actually very subjective.

There was no referee or judge standing next to Xiaodi to determine whether she had violated the "restrictions and oaths". It was all up to her to judge for herself.

Only if Xiaodi firmly believes that she has not betrayed the "constraints and oaths", the ability of the "bulgy fish" will remain the same. Otherwise, it will change accordingly, or even become completely ineffective.

Knowing this, neither German nor Biscuit intended to correct Xiaodi's ideas by force.

Once her perspective changes, the bulgy-eyed fish may not have the space it now has to swallow endlessly everything it considers to be inanimate.

Biscuit and Xiaodi took the initiative to step forward and clear the "bone puppets", clearing a path for German.

He did not miss this opportunity and rushed forward so fast that only an afterimage was left behind, so fast that the several "bone puppets" around him did not react or attack.

German came to the edge of the muddy land, jumped up, stepped lightly on the reeds, and used the force to bounce towards the Bone Crow hiding at the back!
