Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 48 Blood Orchid in the Mountains

Lucci immediately stood up.

Leave the airship immediately.

They quickly headed into the forest.

They soon arrived at the place where he had just collected honey.

The Blood Jade Bee buzzed once again.

However, there were only a few of them, and they couldn't attack Lucci at all, because the other Blood Jade Bee corpses were lying all over the place nearby, and Lucci had naturally dealt with them all.

Previously, he only thought about passing the exam.

There isn't much research on this beehive.

The queen bee appeared with some blood jade bees.

However, as soon as the Queen Bee appeared, it was controlled by the Sharingan. He could not control ordinary Blood Jade Bees, but the Queen Bee possessed rudimentary intelligence.

Naturally, they can also be hypnotized by the Sharingan.

The Sharingan is the manifestation of Yin Release power, but in this world, it is the manifestation of spiritual will.

Lucci relies on the hypnotic abilities of his Sharingan, primarily using mental attacks in addition to Nen.

Unfortunately, this mental power can only be used through the Sharingan, and it can only be used for genjutsu hypnosis.

If he could use it, Lucci would like to try out what telekinesis is.

The queen bee was controlled by Lucci, and the other Blood Jade Bees stopped attacking him.

Meanwhile, Phoenix planned to enter the basin to see the situation, but as soon as he got close to the basin, he was attacked by a large number of Blood Jade Bees.

This also triggered a chain reaction, with blood jade bees from nearby nests flying out.

Lucci was very curious.

Does anyone know about this situation?

In Lucci's view, these Blood Jade Bees posed a much higher threat level.

The power of the insect swarm should not be underestimated.

Phoenix wasn't afraid of the numerous Blood Jade Bees at all, and didn't need to break in head-on; he simply used his spatial teleportation ability.

Then he plunged into the basin and directly picked a blood-red flower.

Then it flew away from the basin.

Flying towards Lu Qi's direction, the Blood Jade Bees gave chase for a moment, but quickly stopped.

As for Lucci, he slowly opened the hive, gradually revealing its interior.

Then finally something was discovered.

In the very center of the beehive, there is a plant, just like the one in the basin.

In Lucci's eyes, this plant was very resilient.

It is also grown in honey.

It seems to be absorbing the nutrients from the honey as it grows.

Could it be that the honey is made from just this one plant?

How is that possible?

Lucci said he couldn't understand it; it defied common sense.

But considering that this is the Hunter world and that I am a reincarnated person, even the most outrageous things might happen.

Just like how he once didn't believe in the existence of "gods," but after being reborn, Lucci now believes in them completely.

So, did the queen bee return to the mountains for this plant?

There are still too many questions.

Lucci did not take the plant with him.

Phoenix brought it back to him soon, and now his curiosity has been piqued.

Lucci instructed Phoenix to continue investigating the situation in the mountains.

He planned to take the plant to examiner Husum for a consultation.

On his way back, Lucci could go to the location where the brown bear had fought earlier.

The battle was over, but the brown bear was still gnawing on the beehive and licking the honey. There were some examinees' corpses nearby.

Clearly, the candidate's attempt to pierce the brown bear failed.

When it comes to them, they can't possibly be the ones to suffer the consequences.

Without bothering to find the other candidates, Lucci left the forest again and found Husum.

When Hussum saw the vegetation in Lucci's hand, he had an incredulous look on his face.

He charged at Lucci without him even needing to come over.

"How is that possible? How did you manage to collect the Blood Orchid? You couldn't have entered the mountains in such a short time."

He sized up Lucci.

He then immediately added, "It's impossible for them to come back completely unharmed."

"Examiner, how can you be sure that this Blood Orchid of mine was found in the mountains? Why can't it be...?"

"This color is so vibrant, and it doesn't even have the scent of honey. It can only be a blood orchid from the mountains." Hussum's expression was complicated.

"Then, examiner, can you tell me about this Blood Orchid?" Lu Qi asked, squinting his eyes.

"I never expected to encounter someone like you. Although I don't know how you obtained it, what can you offer me to get relevant information from me?"

Hussum wouldn't give Lucci the information for nothing.

"How about this Blood Orchid?" Lu Qi asked.

The ability to teleport is too overpowered. Since Lucci was able to get one, he can naturally get a second one as well.

"You're really willing to give it to me?" Hussum asked incredulously.

"You may not know the value of this Blood Orchid. If Blood Jade Honey is worth a fortune, then this Blood Orchid is something that cannot be measured in money."

Lu Qi said nonchalantly, "Right now, all I want to know is information about this Blood Orchid."

When he returned, he had already discovered the extraordinary nature of this Blood Orchid. As long as the fragrance was smelled by any creature in the forest, they would fearlessly attack Lucci, with the Blood Orchid in his hand as their target.

Now that he heard this somewhat familiar "name", Lucci wondered if it was similar to the Blood Orchid from a certain movie?

"good!"

Hussum took the Blood Orchid directly from Lucci's hand.

The Blood Orchid in Lucci's memory comes from the movie Anaconda.

Legend has it that deep within the jungles of Borneo lies an untouched wilderness, where the rugged terrain serves as a natural protective barrier for various rare plants and animals—the "Blood Orchid" grows here.

It is an extremely rare red orchid that secretes a sap that can prolong cell lifespan and has the effect of "preserving youth." It is the fountain of youth in the medical field and is known as the "flower of immortality."

If this Blood Orchid also has such effects, then it can be considered a true "heavenly treasure," and it would probably be of great help to cultivation.

"Wait until I've dealt with this Blood Orchid, you wait a moment." Husum quickly left and ran into the forest.

There must be a place where he lives in the forest.

Lucci wasn't worried about him running away, after all, he was still the examiner for this test.

After waiting for a while, it was getting dark.

The airship will not provide food for the test takers during the exam.

Left with no other option, they had to hunt in the forest.

Then they lit a campfire and started roasting the meat.

This inconvenience made Lucci think about whether he should develop a spatial ability.

Unfortunately, Phoenix doesn't know any of the other magic from the Harry Potter world.

While Lucci was waiting and contemplating, Hussum returned once again.

I also brought some other things.

"I've kept you waiting. Dealing with the Blood Orchid was too troublesome and took up a lot of time." Husum no longer treated Lucci as an examinee.

Rather, they exist as equals.
