Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 429 The High Skies of the World

The outer reaches of the world!

Through Jin, Xiao Jie and the others learned the truth about the world, realizing that many things were not as they usually understood them.

Although she had met her child beforehand, Jin was well-prepared and didn't show much shyness. The conversation quickly became more enjoyable.

It's mostly Kim talking about himself, including his future goals.

He also mentioned that if he hadn't joined the team that planned to go to the outer reaches of the world, he would have chosen to form his own team to explore.

However, that would cause a lot of trouble.

Suddenly, Xiao Jie in this world began to experience discomfort.

The patient experienced dizziness, palpitations, and shortness of breath.

"Are you alright?" Killua of this world immediately noticed and asked with concern.

This also caused Jin to stop speaking.

"I almost forgot, the altitude here is very high."

"Just how high is it here?" Killua asked immediately.

They didn't react much, mainly because they were strong enough, while Xiao Jie in this world, although his physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people, had not yet reached the level of being "non-human".

"I'm not entirely sure either; the rooftop of the Sky Arena is quite unique." Jin couldn't give them an answer either.

He came to Xiao Jie's side.

"Now breathe with me."

Although Xiao Jie felt a little unwell, he was not in a dangerous situation yet.

Jin taught Xiao Jie how to regulate his breathing.

Despite his physical discomfort, Xiao Jie practiced breathing, making his breaths longer and more even.

Soon, Xiao Jie's breathing became more even, and if you didn't observe carefully, you couldn't even feel the rhythm of his breathing.

If combined with the Nen ability Zetsu, one can further reduce their presence.

"It's... all right now!" Xiao Jie had just opened his mouth when his breathing rhythm changed again.

"Don't rush. It takes time to get used to this breathing rhythm. Once you master it, you can cope with various environments."

"So, do you want to continue listening?" Jin asked.

"Of course!" They were all very curious about the stories Jin told them, hoping they could gain a deeper understanding of the world.

Kim was about to say something.

But then the sky suddenly darkened, as if night had fallen.

A powerful gust of wind also came from above.

This forced them to cling tightly to the trunk of the World Tree.

But at the same time.

Everyone was looking up.

"It really appeared?" Jin couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.

But this "darkness" came quickly and went quickly.

After about eleven or twelve seconds, the sky brightened again.

What was that just now?

Gon and Killua have exceptional eyesight; they noticed the unusual phenomenon in the sky earlier.

Just now, a large life form flew over them from high above.

"Remember what I said before? The world known to humankind is actually very small compared to the real world."

Gon and Killua reacted immediately.

So that creature just now came from the Dark Continent?

They had even more questions.

After understanding the true nature of the world, we have even more doubts, the first of which is the issue of "safety" in human society.

But if you look deeper, you'll find that even in the known world, there are various large creatures, though they are still quite small compared to the Dark Continent.

Another strange thing happened in the sky. A burst of fire appeared, and a figure fell from the sky and then stopped near where Jin and the others were.

"Lord Lucci!" Killua of this world reacted first, then said respectfully.

Jin couldn't help but ask when he saw Lu Qi appear.

Before Jin could even speak, Lucci directly answered the question he wanted to ask: "The altitude at which it is flying has exceeded the range I can detect, and its size is too large for me to see clearly what kind of creature it is."

This sky garden, which also planted the seeds of the World Tree, naturally had a purpose.

The World Tree was able to grow to this size thanks in large part to Lucci's "funding".

Judging by the known world as we know it, we can understand just how enormous our planet is.

The height of the "sky" is also extremely high, and there are probably many secrets hidden in the sky. Perhaps only V5 knows some of the details.

The aerospace industry is not highly developed in the world, and it is not something that ordinary forces can get involved in; there are too many dangers involved.

Since this World Tree began to grow, it has encountered some problems, and large flying creatures have tried to settle on it.

However, he was driven away by Lucci.

With the help of the Holy Grail system and his own Susanoo, Lucci has also tried to fly into the sky.

The higher you go, the more dangerous it becomes, not only due to factors like oxygen and low temperatures, but also because of dangerous flying creatures and fierce winds.

Lucci even wanted to describe it as a gale.

Even at different altitudes, there are some different environments.

Lucci even doubted whether he had reached the troposphere of this world.

In other words, Lucci possesses Susanoo, and ordinary people who reach his level would die even if they had Nen.

In addition, there were some discoveries, such as the fact that the density of clouds was not quite the same after breaking through a certain altitude.

Some giant rocks can also be seen "floating" in the clouds.

That scene reminded Lucci of Skypiea in the One Piece world.

This world may also have sky islands, various strange demi-human creatures, and perhaps even countries in the deep sea.

What a fantastical world!

Because of the difference in altitude, what humans "see" as a cloudy day is often not due to clouds, but could also be due to some kind of creature.

Just like the scene where Jin appeared in the anime, sitting on two large creatures, as long as the height is right, you can also achieve the "cloudy day" achievement.

Creatures from the Dark Continent are not incapable of coming to the human world; however, there are very few records of them, and they may have only passed by on the edge.

Perhaps the coastline is different because of the presence of some "gatekeeper".

But the sky should not belong to its domain.

Unfortunately, the World Tree requires too much energy to grow, and even Lucci cannot supply it with enough. Otherwise, perhaps the World Tree could be used to explore the secrets of the sky.

For Lucci, this World Tree is now a kind of "detector".

He can sense any large creatures flying overhead.

This is only the second time I've observed the World Tree growing to this size.

To the top predators of the Dark Continent, the human world might just be a roadside puddle.
