Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 88: Palm Prints at the Bottom of Spider Valley

The eggshell-like branches left large shadows and scattered lights at the bottom of the Spider Valley. Lanterns appeared without warning, and then cast four figures.

Germann lowered his head and confirmed that the lantern would not cool down again until four hours later. Then he reached out and took it back. The faint light gradually disappeared.

"Is this the Dark Continent?" Yun Gu experienced a miraculous teleportation and came to a completely unfamiliar area. He still found it hard to believe.

"Yes." German nodded.

"German." Biscuit suddenly called out, and everyone could hear the seriousness in her tone, which was contrary to her usual personality. "Everyone, look at your feet."

German, Xiaodi and Yun Gu all lowered their heads. They first saw the fallen leaves all over the ground, the stones embedded in the mud, then the burn marks left from the last time, and finally a noticeable dent.

"Hmm?" Germain realized something was wrong. He looked around and saw that the large area where they were standing had a significant drop from the original Spider Valley. "This shape..."

He gathered energy in his legs and suddenly jumped up towards the treetops above his head. When he jumped to the point where Bisiji, Yun Gu and Xiao Di were as small as peanuts, he finally saw the situation clearly.

It turned out to be the case.

Bang! German landed steadily on the ground and brushed off the dust on his body.

"What's going on?" Everyone gathered around and Biscuit, who was the first to notice the abnormality, asked.

"We are standing on a 'palm print'." Seeing the puzzled looks on the faces of the other three, Germann changed his description to something they could understand better, "It's like the palm print that President Netero created with the Hundred-style Guanyin."

Bisiji and Yun Gu understood immediately, Xiaodi was a little slow, but he also understood what Germain meant.

"A giant, or a sub-human species of magical beast with this kind of destructive power." Biscuit pinched his chin with his fingers and made a judgment, "It launched an 'attack' here after we left."

Yun Gu shuddered, especially since he knew how terrible President Netero's palm wind was: "Does it have any ill intentions towards us?"

"Probably, and I'm inclined to think it's a giant creature." Germain pointed to the branches above his head, "The spider silk has all been torn to pieces."

The other three looked up and saw that, just as Germain had said, the spider silk that had originally covered the gaps between the trees had been torn into pieces and were rolled up and hung on the tree branches, like abandoned parachutes.

This means that there was once a creature taller than these trees that forcibly pulled apart the intertwined leaves, tore apart the spider silk, and then pressed its paw print on the bottom of the Spider Valley.

"It seems we can't stay here too long." Germann looked at Xiaodi, "Let's spit out our luggage."

"Yes." Xiao Di didn't say any more nonsense. She clenched her hands and the metal pole of the "Bulge-Eyed Fish" materialized between her hands. "Spit out our luggage."

The big mouth of the "bulgy-eyed fish" moved a few times like a beast, as if vomiting, and its long pink tongue rolled and stretched, like a ladder, causing everyone's backpacks to roll down.

Biscuit, Yun Gu and Xiao Di all carried dry backpacks without any mucus, and it was impossible to tell that it was spit out from the mouth of the "bulgy fish".

"No matter how many times I see it, I always feel that Xiaodi's "telepathy" is really convenient." With her hands on her hips and a backpack covered with beautiful stickers, Biscuit looks like a girl on an outing.

German had no backpack with him. Before the encounter took place, he was responsible for scouting the enemy and therefore moved freely at the front of the team.

At this time, Biscuit took out a round device that looked like a Dragon Ball radar from his backpack and began to instruct everyone.

"Each of us has a 'Thought Radar'. When we get separated, remember to take it out. The four strands of 'Thought' will attract each other like magnets, so that we can find each other as quickly as possible."

This was based on the experience of getting lost nearby last time. Although the use of "Mind Radar" had been repeatedly emphasized in the previous discussion, Biscuit still repeated it tirelessly this time.

There was no other way. Yun Gu and Xiao Di were sometimes a little forgetful, so German was the only reliable one. However, he didn't like to talk too much, so this responsibility had to be handed over to Bisiji. Hearing everyone agree, Bisiji felt like he had really become a mother, and couldn't help complaining: "Really, you guys are not allowed to complain about my nagging, or I'll give you a cross armbar!"

Of course, German and the other two would not take the initiative to step into Bisgi's danger zone. They maintained the formation with German at the front, and after a few leaps, they jumped out of the Spider Valley.

While walking in the forest, German took the initiative to release the "circle". The radius of his "circle" had now expanded to fifteen meters. Using it from time to time was enough to explore the surrounding situation.

There are many experts in exploration whose "circles" have a much larger radius than his, such as Kate, Zeno Zoldyck, the Ant King and the Three Guards, etc., but German does not feel ashamed.

The radius of the "circle" is not so strongly related to strength. Kate and Zeno trained the "circle" to that level due to work needs, while the King of Ants and the three guards were gifted.

Not to mention, the search radius of Germain's "circle" is still expanding, and sooner or later it will touch Kate's "circle area" with an upper limit of 50 meters and a lower limit of 45 meters.

Yun Gu followed behind him cautiously. His rich experience as a hunter allowed him to quickly adapt to the environment here. His eyes behind his glasses kept looking around.

Biscuit was already rapidly tapping on her phone's virtual keyboard, recording everything she saw on the road that she thought was worth noting.

She bought a new mobile phone with a large enough capacity and a lens clarity that was incomparable to the old one. She used it specifically to record scenes along the way in the Dark Continent.

Xiaodi walked side by side with her, looking down at her feet while holding up her black-framed glasses that were about to slip off her nose.

Mainly because she accidentally fell into the "teleportation black hole" last time, she secretly made up her mind not to fall into a landmine trap again.

So, the four-member team, with German and Yun Gu in charge of reconnaissance and guarding, Bisiji in charge of recording, and Xiaodi in charge of shelter, walked through the woods.

During this period, they did encounter enemy attacks, but basically German and Yun Gu were able to handle them.

Xiaodi let the "bulgy fish" swallow the corpses of monsters and carnivorous plants, as well as some things she found interesting along the way.

"We are still heading due north." Bisiji took out the compass and looked at it, "Away from Lake Mobius, and continue to go deeper into the hinterland."

Everyone was making sure that they fulfilled their responsibilities, while at the same time listening attentively to Bisiji's words. After all, "an old person in the family is like a treasure."

"The monsters are scattered in blocks. The deeper you go, the stronger and more powerful the monsters you encounter. Instead, the probability of seeing monster sub-species is getting higher and higher."

So far, they have seen two creatures that looked like Warcraft sub-humans flying by, but they did not make any contact with them.

German walked in the front, thought for a moment, and said, "Perhaps it's because they are all creatures in the same combat power range, so they are distributed in this area and compete with each other for territory."

"Oh..." Biscuit understood what Germain meant. "You think that as long as we keep going north, we will encounter a 'border' sooner or later, and if we cross that 'border', we will enter a world with a completely different combat power range, right?"

"Yes," Germain replied.

This sentence made everyone shudder. If that "border" really existed, then what kind of monsters would be on the other side of the "border"?

At this moment, German's "circle" explored an open area ahead, which meant they were about to walk out of the forest. At the same time, he smelled a pungent odor.
