Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Soon after, Germain learned the real name of the rusty red long-haired beast from the "Hunter Badge" - "The Resentful Memory of the Thirsty Claw Beast".

He turned back and saw that the path he had come from had been destroyed by the huge noise of the Thirsty Claw Beast falling, leaving a gap about three meters wide.

However, this gap was equivalent to non-existence for the Nen ability user, and Germain could easily jump over it.

Of course, it was impossible for Germain to turn back now.

Germain continued to move towards the top of the mountain. This time he did not put away the Holy Moonlight Greatsword because he knew that the battle might not be over yet.

The "circle" at a super long distance just now detected a huge life reaction, not just that one Thirsty Claw Beast.

When he came to the more open area on the top of the mountain, Germain found the reason why the Thirsty Claw Beast was blocking the mountain road desperately.

This is their nest, at least a temporary nest.

More than a dozen medium-sized blood-thirsty claw beasts were lying on gray stones or yellow-brown weeds, all with their eyes closed strangely.

The strange thing was that the fight between German and the blood-thirsty claw beast just now was quite loud, and they in the nest could not have heard it.

However, these blood-thirsty claw beasts did not react at all, even when German was standing only 20 meters away from them, they did not show any signs of moving.

They curled up their skinny huge bodies as if they were sleeping soundly, just like a ball, lying everywhere, without even opening their eyelids.

Why?

German couldn't help but ask this question.

Soon, he keenly noticed that these blood-thirsty claw beasts also had similar morbid symptoms as the blood-thirsty claw beast just now, and they were more serious.

There were always some parts of these blood-thirsty claw beasts that became as dry as tree bark, and some even shrunk their entire lower body.

German's "circle" swept out radially, and roughly confirmed that there was no front wolf pretending to sleep to lure the enemy.

Although it was incredible, this group of blood-thirsty claw beasts were sleeping, and they seemed to be sleeping soundly, with no signs of waking up at all.

The blood-thirsty claw beast that fought with him was the only one awake here. It was sent to guard the pass, but unfortunately its desperate fight failed to stop the invaders.

Even so, among the blood-thirsty claw beasts here, several are "master-level" and the rest are all "elite-level". As long as they wake up and launch an offensive against German together, it will be a tough battle for German.

However, they fell asleep and couldn't wake up, revealing all the flaws to German.

Since the blood-thirsty claw beasts had no intention of hindering German, German did not make any move to slaughter the entire tribe inexplicably.

He planned to save some energy and energy, as there was still a long way to go.

However, he was indeed very interested in the reason why these blood-thirsty claw beasts slept here motionlessly.

There was only one Bloodthirsty Claw Beast patrolling, so how could they resist the enemy?

German walked between the Bloodthirsty Claw Beasts that fell like a mountain of flesh, and his ears were filled with the sound of their snorting.

Seeing them sleeping so peacefully, German had a strange feeling, as if this was not a dangerous and steep mountain range, nor was it somewhere in the Dark Continent.

However, when German's "circle" swept the whole place again, he found something wrong.

There was some kind of mind that did not belong to the Bloodthirsty Claw Beast nearby.

No, to be precise, it should be underground.

German retracted the "circle" as quickly as possible, and hid behind a sleeping Bloodthirsty Claw Beast in a "hidden" posture.

All that was left was for the hunter to wait patiently.

The owner of the almost imperceptible mind seemed to be quite cautious, and stopped the action immediately when he felt German's "circle".

After about ten minutes, it could no longer sense the mind energy from Germain, so it moved again like a mouse.

Germain waited for a long time, and heard a rustling sound, then slowly poked his head out from the side of the thirsty claw beast and looked forward carefully.

In front of the head of the thirsty claw beast, there was a cave as big as a wellhead, and a long, vine-like tentacle slowly stretched out from the cave.

The tentacle swayed in the air for a while, sensing the temperature and humidity like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue, and then swayed for a while before reaching the head of the thirsty claw beast.

With a puff, as if the sound of successful docking sounded, Germain looked closely and saw that the tentacle was stuck in the hole that seemed to have existed on the head of the thirsty claw beast.

Then, Germain saw a blue light arc visible to the naked eye flashing several times at the interface.

The Bloodthirsty Claw Beast in its sleep not only did not feel any discomfort, but also snored comfortably.

After just a few minutes, Germain noticed that the skin and flesh under the rusty red long hair on the waist and abdomen of the Bloodthirsty Claw Beast had shrunk, revealing the symptoms of tree bark.

It seems that they slept here voluntarily. It was rare to have a Bloodthirsty Claw Beast patrolling.

Germain quickly stepped forward.

The tentacle reacted and pulled out from the head of the Bloodthirsty Claw Beast with a pop. When it wanted to retract into the cave, it was grabbed by Germain.

Germain exerted force suddenly and grabbed the tentacle and the monster behind it, and exposed them to the sunlight outside the cave.

This is a subhuman monster with a human-like body and limbs, a head like a shuttle, and a tongue that is a tentacle, which is the one held by German.

It just put its tongue into the head of Bloodthirsty Clawmon, sucking the life of Bloodthirsty Clawmon and giving Bloodthirsty Clawmon great joy in return.

"Yukomon·Papu" can achieve "equivalent exchange of happiness and life", which is as simple as the one in front of us.

Is happiness really that important?

This is a question with completely different meanings for different people.

In the battle against the Chimera Ants in the original storyline, Xiaojie sacrificed his future and fought Neferpitou with the idea that "it doesn't matter if I die like this".

Then, in a very short time, Xiaojie's strength rose to a level far beyond Neferpitou.

He did kill Neferpitou and defeated Neferpitou in the state of entanglement.

However, afterwards, his whole body began to shrink and dry up, just like the Bloodthirsty Clawmon in front of him, and even let his life disappear faster than them.

If it weren't for the various medical devices keeping Gon alive, he wouldn't have survived until Killua and Alluka arrived.

A similar question was placed before Gon.

Is revenge on Neferpitou really that important?

Yes, at least for Gon at the time, it was very important, far more than life itself.

A beast like Bloodthirsty Clawmon, for the ultimate pleasure of hallucination, took the initiative to come to the cave where Ikumanmon Pappu was, and acted as a "blood bag", just like...

a drug addict who was addicted to drugs, as pathetic as that.

They no longer care about the life and death of their tribe in the Dark Continent. They came here on purpose just to feel the joy and fantasy for even one more second.

And Ikumanmon Pappu, who was captured by Germain, was only "elite" in combat power, and he easily captured a "master" monster.

It seems that the Dark Continent is not necessarily a place where the strong prey on the weak, at least not a simple "survival of the weak".

The brooding beast Pap struggled frantically in German's hand. It stretched out its limbs, trying to hug German and have a crazy "tongue kiss" with German.

German naturally refused and gave the brooding beast Pap a sword in return, trying to kill it to the ground.

Just as the Holy Moonlight Greatsword chopped its flesh, the blue light arc appeared again and flashed to German.

A feeling of numbness was transmitted from both hands, and his body and mind, which were originally in pain due to the contempt armor, could not help but relax, and the tense brain seemed to be melted.

This feeling... really made him almost unable to extricate himself, and it was what he needed most now.

With the brooding beast Pap, he can always use the contempt armor, as if there are no side effects...

Why not keep it alive? It can be my deputy...

German exerted force suddenly, and pierced the brooding beast Pap with a sword, and the green light immediately blasted it into slag, leaving nothing behind.

He gasped.

No side effects?

What on earth was I thinking just now?

I almost planned to give my life to this brooding beast, Papu, just to exchange for physical and mental comfort.

It seems that the torture of the Dark Crown and the temptation of pleasure made him hesitate for half a second.

But he finally decided to abandon the pacifier in front of him and choose a more difficult but correct path.
