Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 64 Cleaning up the Spider Family
When spiders swarmed in from all directions like a tide, blocking all escape routes, German, Biscuit and Xiaodi did not panic at all, but calmly formed a triangle formation.

"You all react very quickly."

Biscuit clenched his fists, in a tense fighting stance, with his mind and energy entangled in one.

“It’s good for our group to not have to panic, demand explanations, fall into despair, and rekindle faith.”

She has always acted alone and rarely teamed up with others. She had suffered such losses in the past, and later she simply thought that it would be better to fight like a lone wolf than to cooperate with unreliable teammates.

On this point, German and Xiaodi actually have the same awareness as Biscuit.

What is quite strange is that the temporary team of three lone wolves has shown special tacit understanding even though they are now surrounded.

German originally wanted to find a safe place as soon as he found Biscuit and let her "magic beautician Miss Cookie" relieve his stress, but now this idea is definitely not feasible.

"Let's make this a quick decision." He said to the two people behind him, "Biscuit, you just defeated a spider. Do you have any key information to tell us?"

"Yes." Biscuit responded immediately, "They will float for a short time. When the spider's abdomen swells, it will be like a balloon filled with helium, which will make them float for a few seconds before falling to the ground."

"Besides that, there are their spider silk and fangs. Although I haven't observed them using these weapons yet, they are spiders and will most likely use them in the next battle."

"That's all I know."

"That's enough." Germann replied, "We can gradually explore the remaining capabilities. Remember to share information with each other in a timely manner."

Biscuit and Xiaodi both nodded.

"But the key is still the spider at the top, right?" Xiaodi had already grabbed the metal pole of the "bulgy fish" in his hand, ready to go, "It should be the leader of this group of spiders."

By this time, the spiders had already swarmed to the bottom of the valley, as if more than twenty off-road vehicles had driven in at the same time.

Their legs and feet swing rapidly, making a creepy thump-thump sound, like the rapid beats of a war drum, driving their prey into their rhythm.

One of the spiders opened its mouth wide, bared its fangs, hissed at the three, and pounced on them.

Biscuit's tall figure flashed, and when he reappeared, he had flashed to the side of the spider's head. He used his strong legs to kick the sturdy spider directly into the air!

The spider flew out across the sky like a huge rock thrown from a catapult.

"Did you see that?" She landed back on the ground steadily. Only then could she hear the rumbling sound of the spiders falling. "Be quick, accurate, and ruthless. Don't give them time to float up."

"There's no need to mess around with them. We should deal with them as quickly and directly as possible. Their advantage lies in numbers. Once their numbers drop to a certain level, they will be completely suppressed by us."

She pointed at the spider leader at the top and said, "As for that one, if it doesn't come down, there's nothing we can do. Climbing up the tree now will only lead to it falling into its trap."

"Just leave it alone like this."

Being more mature and experienced than Siji, both German and Xiaodi were willing to follow her advice, so they naturally nodded at this moment.

The swarm of spiders was coming, almost completely swallowing up the tiny three people under the wave.

Xiaodi dodged a spider's legs, which had sharp protrusions like scimitars that penetrated deeply into the ground.

She hid under the abdomen of another spider, and the "bulgy fish" opened its mouth wide and bit a hole in the spider's abdomen. Black pus immediately spurted out and spilled on the ground.

The spider howled, and its eight legs moved wildly, stabbing here and there with its scimitar-like protrusions, but Xiaodi dodged them nimbly and instead collided with a spider next to it.

The two spiders fell flat on their backs.

"Their legs are very sharp." Xiaodi only had time to remind the other two loudly, "Their abdomen is a blind spot and is very vulnerable."

"Understood!" Biscuit replied, and with his palm like a knife, he actually chopped off the legs of an attacking spider. "Their joints are also their weak points."

German used a meat saw to cut off the spider's limbs, which looked dangerous, but in fact he had calculated the distance accurately, so the spider could not bite him. A spider next to him turned its trunk and aimed its abdomen at German, and with a whoosh, it sprayed out sticky spider silk, which shot towards German at lightning speed.

But Germain reacted too quickly and dodged sideways, and the spider silk instead wrapped the other spider's sixteen eyes tightly.

The spider, whose vision was blocked, began to rush around in panic, and its movements were completely unpredictable.

The spider that was spewing silk continued to spray, and the silk from its abdomen kept spitting out towards Germain.

German dodged them one by one, then simply took out the flamethrower. A snake of fire shot out, the spider silk was ignited, and the spiders that had originally gathered around retreated in fear.

"Their venom is injected through their fangs." Germann held the flamethrower and looked around without relaxing. "They are afraid of fire. Spider silk is flammable."

"Improvised incendiary bomb." Biscuit immediately came to his senses and turned around to take out three prepared metal balls from his backpack.

Following Xiaodi's reminder, he took out a simple incendiary bomb from his backpack.

They pressed the button on the incendiary bomb and threw it at the spiders. The metal ball instantly spewed out a large ball of flame, igniting the fur on the spiders' bodies and the fallen leaves on the ground.

The fire gradually grew bigger, and the spiders at the bottom of the valley no longer rushed forward as recklessly as before.

Except for those spiders that were already trapped in the sea of ​​fire and swallowed by the flames, the others retreated outside the circle of fire and watched.

German, Biscuit and Xiaodi escaped from the sea of ​​fire and leaned against a stone wall.

"Can you continue?" Germain asked, "If not, I will light the teleportation lantern now and send us all back to the human world."

"I can still go on." Biscuit said proudly, crossing his arms, "These spiders can't drive me into despair. What about Xiaodi?"

Xiaodi raised a hand, like the quiet library committee member, but the other two knew very well that she was not.

"I can continue too...Also, that spider leader seems to have made some new moves."

At Xiaodi's reminder, German and Biscuit looked up and saw that the giant spider was no longer staying in the middle of the spider web, but crawling to the edge of the spider web.

Its chelicerae wiggled and an unpleasant hissing sound came from its mouth, as if urging its spider family to move forward.

The spiders had no choice but to go around the wall of fire, either by attacking from the wings or by inflating their abdomens and floating up, then leaping down from the stone wall that the three men were leaning against.

"There are still seventeen." Germann was not afraid at all. He stood up and leaped. He stretched out his meat saw and chopped the eyeball of a spider. He used the teeth of the saw to tear the wound fiercely. "Sixteen."

Biscuit punched hard with both fists, and his mental energy burst out. The abdomen of a spider exploded with a bang, as if a balloon was punctured by a needle.

"Fifteen." She took up Germann's count.

Xiaodi pushed the "bulgy fish" and sucked all the silk from the spider's abdomen into it, leaving nothing behind.

The spider's abdomen was shriveled and its head was smashed to pieces by Xiaodi using a "bulgy fish".

"Fourteen."

"Thirteen, twelve."

"Eleven, ten."

Gradually, German, Biscuit and Xiaodi turned from defense to offense. The entire situation at the bottom of the valley was under their control, and this place became their hunting ground.

Finally, when there were only seven spiders left, the giant spider sitting on the spider web could no longer bear it.

It jumped off the spider web and landed on the bottom of the valley with a thud.
