Hunter x Hunter: Card Master, the Strongest in the World.

Chapter 187 The Bizarre Demon Realm! Poison Expert Zhen!

Lynn is a shaman.

Moreover, he is the world's strongest exorcist!

Everett sighed inwardly.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone gather such an astonishing aura of light, and he couldn't imagine how much death had Lynn removed.

That is absolutely terrifying!

It should be said that Lynn's very existence is a terrifying thing.

The others were unaware of Everett's inner thoughts, so they didn't know why he suddenly displayed such an expression.

Everett quickly composed himself, approached Lynn with a look of reverence, and whispered, "You've worked hard."

He couldn't even imagine how much suffering Lynn had endured over the years.

It must be hard to get rid of so many suicidal thoughts, and he only recently heard about Lynn's deeds, which shows that Lynn must be a selfless person who doesn't care about fame or fortune!

If such a person doesn't deserve respect, then who does?

Thinking of this, Everett couldn't help but burst into tears again.

"It's alright—" Everett's sudden remark left Lynn a little confused, but she replied casually.

Is he saying that he traveled all the way from the capital of Reges and was exhausted?

Lynn had no choice but to leave it at that for the time being.

Seeing Master Everett's respect for Lynn, the others were somewhat confused, especially Keith.

He also believed that Lynn was one of the liars.

But why would Master Everett show such respect to a fraudster?

After briefly understanding the current situation, Lynn and Everett arrived at the stone gate to prepare for the exorcism.

There were indeed many dead thoughts on the stone gate; no wonder even four powerful exorcists couldn't handle it.

Just looking at it, you can feel the overwhelming sense of deathly stillness, as if it wants to devour anyone who tries to get close to it.

Just standing there, they felt a chilling wind blowing past them, as if there was an abyss ahead.

The thought of death is like wisps of black mist blown by the wind, and the dancing wisps of black smoke are like countless tentacles, eager to drag people in and devour them.

Everett was the first to act, and coincidentally, he also used a Nen beast.

A round, chubby Nen beast with a pair of small wings materialized in front of him, flying in mid-air. It looked very cute.

The little angel was a little scared when it saw so many death thoughts, but it still mustered up its courage and released waves of energy.

The gentle, luminous energy touched the deathly thought and gradually erased it. Seeing this, everyone nodded slightly. As expected of a veteran exorcist, his efficiency was even faster than the four of them combined.

Beside him, Lynn made no move, but suddenly a figure leaped out from the shadows.

Unlike the cautious little angel, Gengar swaggered up to the stone gate, opened its two short arms wide, and then took a deep breath—

In an instant, the death thoughts that had been baring their fangs and claws just moments before surged into Gengar's mouth like swallows returning to their nests, disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Death wish?

Isn't that food?

Gengar had never heard of the idea that one should be careful when eating.

Since it's food, you should eat it heartily and generously!

One white and one black, the two sides form a very obvious contrast.

Everyone was astonished by what they saw.

Lynn is not only not a fraud, but his Nen exorcism ability is stronger than they imagined!

If Everett is equivalent to five kiss, then Lynn is fifty kiss!

Seeing is believing, and just from this astonishing speed, it's clear that Lynn's reputation is well-deserved.

Perhaps—Lynn really is the world's strongest exorcist!

Seeing Lynn's outstanding performance, many people felt a surge of pride.

It would be great if we could recruit such a powerful exorcist.

Exorcists are undoubtedly strategic weapons, and exorcists as powerful as Lynn are rare in the world, making them extremely important.

Strictly speaking, there are four factions on the field. Apart from Jin's side, the other three factions are eager to win over Lynn.

I'll have to give my superiors a proper report on this when I get back.

"Mr. Lynn is truly amazing." Nob stared in disbelief, then slowly said, deeply impressed by Lynn's performance.

Of those present, only King and Pyon, who had witnessed Gengar's power, remained calm, because they already knew how formidable Lynn was.

With such a strong and reliable partner by my side, my sense of security is greatly enhanced!

After Gengar's "Crazy Bite", the Death Spirit on the stone door gradually decreased until it disappeared completely, revealing the original state of the stone door.

Everyone became excited and put on the specially prepared protective suits.

The difference between regular troops and independent fighters is obvious.

Ordinary Nen users exploring ruins might wear a gas mask or a regular protective suit, but that's far from safe enough.

Everyone present was an experienced person, especially the immigration officer who was very knowledgeable, so they would not take action without thorough preparation.

The special protective suits they wear can largely isolate them from the outside world, preventing them from inhaling or coming into contact with dangerous substances, and also have oxygen supply capabilities.

Lynn and others were also involved.

After everyone was ready, Leo, the captain of the Kingdom of Guganyu, who looked like a laboratory researcher, stepped forward.

He casually swung his axe, and the stone door exploded open!

Surprisingly, after the stone gate collapsed, no road appeared, but rather a rock wall that didn't seem particularly special.

How is that possible?

The experienced Jin suddenly thought of a possibility, and casually tossed a pebble. As expected, when the pebble landed on the rock wall, it stirred up ripples in the air, and then the pebble disappeared.

Lynn had seen this before—the entrance to the secret realm where the Kuruta tribe's ruins were located!

So this is the entrance to a secret realm?

"Be careful! It could be a demonic realm!" Leo said sternly. "Keith, you guys evacuate first."

It was only after Pjorn explained it to Lynn that he understood the difference between the Secret Realm and the Demon Realm.

Both secret realms and demonic realms are special spaces, but secret realms are usually not dangerous, while demonic realms are often full of danger and even have special rules.

Judging from this gate of death, it is most likely a dangerous demonic realm.

Since the situation is unknown, Everett, Keith, and the other exorcists will remain where they are. If it is confirmed to be a demonic realm, then their mission will end here.

The exorcists are not very strong, including Everett; sending them into the demonic realm would be tantamount to suicide.

No one else can bear the responsibility for the death of their own exorcist.

Lynn was an exception; he was both an exorcist and a powerful exorcist.

After a brief test to confirm that it was possible to make the round trip, everyone went inside.

Within the realm of magic.

It was daytime.

Trees stand tall on the earth, thus forming a dense forest.

They vary in size, but are generally quite tall, with some even reaching deep into the clouds.

The crisscrossing branches are densely packed, like iron chains blocking the path from the bottom of the forest to the sky.

The trees are far more numerous than their intertwined branches; instead, they are covered with an extremely dense canopy of leaves.

The dense foliage is like layers of thick cotton blankets, covering countless branches.

If it weren't for the generally thick branches, they would most likely be crushed by the weight of this lush shade.

And this is not even the most noticeable feature.

Purple forest.

This is Lynn's short name for this forest.

There are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names.

This entire forest seems to have only one single hue—purple.

This is mainly due to the influence of the leaves.

Any leaf that can be seen, whether it is still growing on the tree or has fallen to the ground.

They were all extremely deep purple.

Moreover, these leaves are not just ordinary purple; they also seem to have a fluorescent, radiant quality.

It might not be easy to see a single leaf, but the tree is covered with leaves that block out the sun, so the effect is particularly noticeable.

The leaves are emitting a purple glow.

Each tree is like a giant light bulb, constantly emitting an eerie, hazy purple light.

If it's just about emitting light, that's not a problem.

But purple is often associated with something.

That's poison!

Seeing this, everyone instinctively held their breath, even though they were in protective suits.

Lynn then had a slight thought and released the poisonous bird.

She's an expert in highly toxic substances.

Zhen can absorb toxins to become stronger, and can also quickly create antidotes based on the toxins it absorbs. It often discusses related knowledge with Gail.

Having more character cards has its advantages; it provides solutions for many different situations.

Zhen took a deep breath, paused for a moment, and slowly said, "This purple light does indeed contain toxic components."

"It belongs to a complex toxin."

"It generally includes types such as chronic toxins that can be fatal, hallucinogenic toxins, and paralyzing toxins, but there are no strong toxins."

"However, these toxins are highly contagious; any place exposed to ultraviolet light will become contaminated with them."

"However, if you leave this place before the toxins accumulate to a certain level and stop being exposed to them, the symptoms should gradually subside."

Zhen analyzed it carefully, and at the same time, she was excited about the toxin, which was a rare toxin that could not be found in the six continents.

It's a real shame that Gail didn't come.

What's more, she can become stronger by absorbing toxins!

This place is a once-in-a-lifetime treasure for the poisonous bird.

Is it a highly poisonous forest?

Lynn glanced at the new feature bar that appeared in his mind.

I wonder what kind of cards will appear here?

Meanwhile, the others were still surprised that Lynn's Nen Beast could actually analyze toxins.

Not to mention others, even Pjorn, who had known Lynn the longest, was surprised.

But then everyone frowned, their faces showing varying degrees of surprise and apprehension.

Just from the words of the poisonous bird, they could sense how troublesome this purple forest was.

"So, the entire forest is a poisonous forest?"

"Anything that is exposed to purple light will become poisonous, but this purple forest has so many leaves that almost all of them are exposed to purple light."

"So calling this purple forest a poisonous forest is really not an exaggeration at all, as it is full of toxins."

Jin looked up at the endless purple forest in front of him and said calmly, "Moreover, these are just the threats posed by the forest itself; we still don't know what other dangers might lurk inside."

Faced with unknown dangers, everyone roused themselves.

Norb even placed a spatial entrance at the entrance first.

Since they had just entered the Demon Realm, the various faction teams were only a little distance apart, but not far from each other. Lynn and his three companions naturally gathered together, with Zhen at the forefront absorbing the toxins.

Next, they were to explore this unknown forest.

Click—

The purple-glowing leaves were crushed underfoot, accompanied by a crisp, faint sound.

This was just the beginning. Soon after, a series of soft footsteps echoed as people rustled as they stepped on the fallen leaves.

The purple forest has a large number of trees, with many obstacles obstructing the view, and the hazy purple light also affects observation.

Therefore, people need to observe from more angles: underground, in the woods, in the shade of trees —

These places could be dangerous at any time.

As they explored the purple forest, they gained a deeper understanding of this eerie place.

First of all, the forest is very quiet; even the slightest sound of footsteps on the ground is unusually loud, which is also a strange thing.

Logically speaking, a forest should contain a considerable number of birds, if not countless animals.

It's likely that the toxins contained in the purple light caused this place to become a deathly place, so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and devoid of any living creatures.

All that met everyone's eyes was a hazy purple world.

Giant trees rise from the ground, making humans feel exceptionally small in this forest.

The types of trees are also quite peculiar; although they are all purple trees that emit a purple light, their shapes are not uniform.

There were trees that grew very straight, almost like poplars; there were trees that grew crookedly and twisted; and there were mushroom trees that looked like giant mushrooms.

It seems that there are hardly any trees in the entire forest that look alike.

Lynn, who was walking at the front, sensed something and turned to look at the location where Nob was on the other side.

Suddenly, the bark of a large tree was quickly removed, just like removing a piece of paper.

Then several pairs of insect legs emerged from them. The legs were thick and long, with barbs that gleamed coldly on them.

If you get caught on these barbs, it will be very difficult to get free.

If Lynn had to describe it, the insect-like creature was like a hybrid of a fly and a spider, grown to a gigantic size.

Its body is about the size of a car, with a pair of slightly long antennae on its head, followed by two huge blue eyes.

Its body, hidden inside the tree, was bent over, with small wings faintly visible on its back.

The most striking feature is its numerous pairs of legs, which are many times thicker than those of ordinary insects.

Each of the insect's legs is thicker than a human arm, and it has a total of eight legs, making it look powerful and strong.

At the same time, it also has a slender mouthpart at the tail, with strands of highly toxic purple liquid emanating from its tip.

It immediately extended all eight of its legs, forming an embrace or binding gesture, with its target being Nob, who was closest to it.

It moves incredibly fast; from the moment it removes the bark to the moment it extends its legs, all these actions are completed in an instant.

Ordinary people can't even see the afterimage; they only feel that the person disappears from their sight in an instant.

Lynn had every reason to believe that he had done these actions more than once, which was why he was so skilled at them.

The entire movement was fluid and exceptionally smooth and fast.
