Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 138 Rainforest Ghost Wall?

Meanwhile, in the Basen rainforest, the examinees were searching for the Patch tribe.

Without a clear map, we could only search slowly, and the so-called core could only be found by asking the Pachi people.

Upon entering the Basen rainforest, the first thing you encounter is the various creatures within it.

In a grassy area in the rainforest, blood was everywhere, with several dismembered corpses scattered around, blood flowing from them.

This is an anaconda from the Basen rainforest, and it is one of the top predators in the Basen rainforest's food chain.

Also known as the rainforest hunter.

Once entangled, it's difficult for anyone to survive its attacks.

Jin's five-person team did not split up; this was not the first time they had dealt with the anaconda.

This is the third one.

Besides the anaconda, they also encountered other terrifying creatures.

The presence of the Blood Orchid has caused many creatures in the Basen Rainforest to grow significantly larger.

After Lucci brought the Blood Orchid to the Basen Rainforest, the Conrad family conducted research on it, but much of it remained under the control of the Patch Clan.

They breed them themselves, and at the same time, they raise their "pets".

Because of Lucci's influence, the existence of the Five Spirits and Blood Orchid has led the entire Patch tribe to develop in the direction of "beast taming" and "summoning".

Blood Orchids can help creatures "evolve".

It also has great effects on people, and it is now one of the most expensive "secret medicines" in the Sky Arena. However, the effects of Blood Orchid are not limitless.

Once it reaches a certain point, it will no longer be effective.

"The creatures here are all huge." Jin had never seen a python that was over twenty meters long before.

This is not even found in the rainforest wetlands of Whale Island.

If this kind of anaconda were to appear on Whale Island, it would likely turn the island into a "forbidden zone".

Even the lemurs on Whale Island only need one bite to finish them off.

"It's a pity we have to take an exam, and the smell of blood will attract other predators, otherwise this snake skin could fetch a good price," DuPont said with great regret.

The creatures in the Basen rainforest, through the deliberate cultivation by the Pachi tribe, have not only become more dangerous, but their value has also increased considerably.

The meat is more nutritious, and the various "materials" in the body also have many functions.

It can be said that almost every part of the body can be utilized.

In other words, the time is still relatively short, and this place will probably become a "hunting paradise" in the future.

"We've been walking for so long and haven't encountered the Patch tribe yet. How are we supposed to find them?" Russell jumped down from the tree.

It has been three hours since we left the Conrad family's business base.

But they gained nothing, except for facing various dangerous creatures.

"The fog is still very thick, making it impossible to locate the Pachi tribe from a high vantage point."

Without a clear goal, they can only keep moving forward in one direction.

Of course, they are also looking for traces of human activity.

According to Kim's analysis, the Patch tribe lives in this rainforest, so there must be traces of their lives there, and they would also go to places outside the Basen rainforest.

Then there might be a small path they often take. If they can find the path, they can find the location of the Patch tribe by feeling their way.

It's a pity about the idea, but in some aspects it was too naive.

After the Patch tribe rediscovered the sacred site, their control over the Basen Rainforest improved significantly, and with Lucci's help, they continued to refine it.

The entire Basen rainforest is influenced and transformed through the sacred altars of the divine.

"Let's keep moving forward!"

The five had no choice but to continue forward, but soon they came across the corpse of the anaconda they had killed.

"Have we come back?" Russell asked uncertainly.

"It should be." Jin examined the anaconda's corpse.

"And we can no longer hear birdsong or insect chirping." Jin also immediately noticed other anomalies.

"Look at the compass!" Dennis shouted immediately.

The compass, which was working perfectly before, was now spinning continuously.

"Could this be the Patch tribe's test?" Jin's first thought was of the related GG he had seen before.

"There are also Nen users among the Patch tribe. Could this be some kind of Nen ability? Of course, it could also be some kind of divine ability," DuPont said.

As a martial artist in the Sky Arena, having watched various matches and witnessed all sorts of abilities, including divine ones, this was the first thing I considered regarding the Basen Rainforest situation.

"Nen abilities are truly amazing!" Jin said, then quickly jumped to the top of the tree.

Looking into the distance.

"Come up here and take a look!"

As Jin finished speaking, everyone else jumped to the top of the tree.

When they looked before, the surrounding area was shrouded in fog, making it difficult to see clearly.

But now there is a wall formed by fog in front of us.

The fog is inherently volatile, but in their eyes, it formed a tall, solid wall.

"Did everyone see that?" Russell asked.

The five people are facing different directions.

"I see it, it's right there!" All five people pointed in different directions.

The five people fell silent immediately.

It was only then that they realized that the fog walls seen by the five people were completely different and in different directions. The other people still saw the fog drifting around in other directions.

"So this is going to separate us?" Russell asked uncertainly.

They definitely need to investigate that misty wall.

It might be some kind of hint.

"It could also be a trap."

Should we separate?

Thanks to previous preparations, the most dangerous insects in the rainforest are temporarily unable to exert any divine or demonic influence on them.

However, if they separate, they might be in danger if other situations arise.

"But how did we trigger this?" This was Jin's first question.

Could it be because of that anaconda?

The five people immediately went to the anaconda's corpse and began looking for anything different.

"This anaconda is indeed much longer and larger than the previous one, and its scales are also very tough." All five of them contributed to killing this anaconda.

DuPont, a Nen user, had to use his ability to kill him.

Its powerful vitality hadn't killed it quickly enough, so it had to be cut into several pieces as a last resort.

Despite this speculation, the five of them did not choose to separate, but instead headed in one direction to take a look.

But soon they were back to where they started.

"How did they do that?" DuPont was puzzled. He couldn't sense anything unusual happening and couldn't detect any trace of Nen.

Jin's extraordinary perception also failed at this moment.

"I refuse to believe it." DuPont was defiant, drawing his long sword, which bore the character for "god" and infusing it with his thoughts.

He cut down all the trees and grass that were blocking his view. Once he had a clear view, he didn't believe he would go back to where he started.
