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

Chapter 198 Two S-! Trying to outmaneuver me? (A long chapter of 10,000 words)

Some time ago.

On the other side of the labyrinth city, an eighty-person team composed of members from the Ferry Hall and the Ancient Ganyu Kingdom is exploring.

There weren't originally so many people, but after the news spread, the three forces other than Lynn and his group all sent more people.

Among them, the Ferry Terminal and the Kingdom of Ganyu have reached a cooperation agreement to take joint action, forming a team of over a hundred people.

Their goal is not only the magical realm itself, but also the [Hope] herb that may appear within the labyrinth!

This is a very valuable opportunity for humanity.

Ancient labyrinthine cities were dangerous, but what was even more terrifying was the losses incurred on the journey from the six continents to the destination; it could be said that 80% of the manpower perished along the way.

Now that we've finally encountered a magical realm containing a labyrinthine city, without suffering any losses along the way, we should naturally seize the opportunity.

However, this elite force composed of pure Nen users has encountered a series of crises within the labyrinth city, and its numbers are dwindling.

The number of people dropped from over a hundred to eighty, and the rate of casualties accelerated as the mission progressed deeper into the area.

The sky was dark.

Near the core of the labyrinthine city, the buildings, varying in height and shape like building blocks, form "passages" of different widths, and the main force is advancing deeper into the city.

The operation of a team of 100 people was too large a commotion, so it was divided into four smaller teams that cooperated with the main team.

The first squad is responsible for the northeast direction, the second and third squads are responsible for the due east direction, and the fourth squad is responsible for the southeast direction. The main force is positioned at the rear to provide support at any time and advance steadily.

Like Jin, they also believed that this demonic realm originated from the Dark Continent, which is why they acted with even greater caution.

Northeast, First Squad.

"what!"

A heart-wrenching wail suddenly rang out; it must have been the result of some unspeakable torture to produce such a horrifying cry.

Then, a soldier at the left front of the formation was seen to "split into pieces," just like Buggy who had eaten the Chop-Chop Fruit.

The difference is that Bucky's actions were proactive and harmless, while the soldier was passively torn apart.

His body was sliced ​​apart by a strange and sharp gust of wind.

First, it was cut in half at the waist, then blood streaks appeared on the neck, arms, and legs, the body was scattered and lay in a pool of blood.

A living, breathing person just died like that!

Upon seeing this, the other soldiers present felt a chill run down their spines and were filled with fear.

But this only exacerbated the danger.

Before them was a strange plant, about half a person's height, curved and hard like a sickle for harvesting wheat, which suddenly swayed and stirred up a powerful blade of energy.

One after another, streaks of sword energy swept past, tearing several people to pieces.

With the situation unclear, the remaining members of the first squad had no choice but to retreat and report to the main squad, designating this passage as a no-entry road.

On the other side, due east of where the second and third squads are located.

"Um?"

A bald soldier in the front row suddenly stopped, gripping his weapon tightly. It looked like an AK47 and was ready to fire at any moment if anything seemed amiss.

Although the team is full of Nen users, it doesn't mean that everyone is an A-rank powerhouse.

Apart from a few A-level soldiers, most are B-level or C-level.

Some people don't know advanced application techniques, while others only know some advanced application techniques. So for these people, it's better to use Nen weapons than to fight normally, as they are more lethal.

Although some soldiers may not be very strong, with the help of technology and teamwork, they can still exert considerable combat power.

Under the tense gaze of the bald soldier, a rabbit hopped out from around the corner ahead.

What? It's just a rabbit.

The bald soldier breathed a sigh of relief; what stood before him was nothing more than an ordinary-looking rabbit.

The rabbit is about the same size as the pet rabbits commonly found on the six continents, about the height of a forearm.

It has inconspicuous gray fur and a pair of bright red eyes, staring at the human in front of it, tilting its head slightly.

Having seen so many strange and bizarre creatures, the bald soldier was momentarily stunned by the appearance of such an adorable rabbit.

In this abnormal place, a normal creature appeared, which made people feel that something was wrong.

Something is wrong!

The bald soldier's pupils suddenly contracted, and he instinctively wanted to back away.

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this rabbit is definitely not simple!

In an instant, the rabbit's small body, like a lump of clay, began to throb and stretch rapidly!

The original petite appearance was gone forever, and the little rabbit grew at an explosive speed in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the little rabbit has grown into a huge and robust giant rabbit!

The large rabbit stood on its feet with its arms hanging naturally at its sides, and a huge rabbit head revealed a human-like, bloodthirsty smile.

His body was very strong and muscular, with bulging muscles everywhere, making it clear at a glance that he was full of immense power!

A chilling killing intent emanated from it, and for a moment even the air seemed to freeze, making it difficult to breathe.

Unexpectedly, this rabbit was in disguise; its actual size was much larger than the real thing.

What was originally a pet rabbit only the height of an adult's forearm was instantly revealed to be its true form.

He is now about two or three meters tall and has a body full of strong, muscular muscles, which can easily unleash explosive power.

His size increased several times over!

The rabbit-man grinned, revealing sharp fangs, and its scarlet pupils were filled with murderous intent. Its muscles twitched rhythmically.

Suddenly, the rabbit-man swung out his palm, as big as a palm fan, and slapped it hard at the bald soldier, instantly creating a series of stinging gusts of wind!

Before the bald soldier could react, his entire body was blasted away to the other side like a cannonball!

The Nen weapon in his hand fell to the ground and was stomped into pieces by the rabbitman, which also created a large crater in the ground!

Peng!

The bald soldier was slapped straight into the building wall, leaving him covered in blood and gore.

For a moment, the field fell into a deathly silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The other soldiers stared wide-eyed at the drastically changed rabbit-man, finding it even harder to accept the scene before them.

If they had to choose one, they would still prefer the cute little bunny.

really!

Nothing in the Dark Continent is simple!

The bald soldier was already being careful enough, but the difference in strength prevented him from reacting in time.

Even so, death was the inevitable end; Heaven would not grant a second life because of the unfairness of power.

In this world, when you decide to step into the unknown, you must be mentally prepared for death, for life and death are only a moment apart!

Peng!

A giant axe swept past at lightning speed, and the rabbit-man who was eyeing them menacingly just a second ago was cleanly and swiftly beheaded by the giant axe in the next second!

The enormous rabbit head shot into the sky, then crashed heavily to the ground.

The giant axe, as if possessing a spirit, swirled back into its master's hand.

"Don't stand there like idiots! Do you want to die?!"

Leo, one of the team leaders, walked from the back to the front and angrily rebuked the soldiers.

"Where am I?!"

"Don't underestimate this place just because it's called the Demon Realm! This is part of the Dark Continent; you should consider yourself to be on that strange and dangerous continent!"

"Anything here could take your life. Be a thousand times more careful every minute and every second. Don't let your guard down, no matter what it may look like."

"Otherwise, it would be irresponsible of your lives!"

As one of the very few A+ level powerhouses in the team, Leo was responsible for overseeing the second and third squads, fighting on the front lines.

After giving the soldiers a few warnings, Leo received another message from the main team.

The fourth squad in the southeast has run into trouble. It seems they were caught in a surprise attack, causing the soldiers to scatter. Someone needs to go and investigate.

Without much hesitation, Leo dispatched fifteen people plus an A-level expert to search for the missing persons.

There's nothing we can do if we really can't find it.

Disappearing in a dangerous environment is practically equivalent to death.

What's more troublesome is that the sun has set, and the labyrinth city is now shrouded in darkness. It's a cloudy day with no moonlight at all, and everything is pitch black as far as the eye can see.

Those buildings, shrouded in darkness, resembled monsters that devoured people without spitting out their bones. No one knew how many dangers lurked in the shadows, making the search for people much more difficult.

Logically, we should have gathered by evening to conclude today's exploration.

However, there were Nen users above them who said they wouldn't get the vanilla if they didn't reach the core that day, so they were ordered to reach the core that night.

"I don't care about casualty figures, I just want vanilla!"

Leo watched the backs of the people who went to provide assistance and sighed helplessly.

Meanwhile, at the original location of the fourth squad.

Due to the crisis, the soldiers were forced to scatter. Four soldiers were lucky enough to regroup, but they lost their way in the darkness and wandered around like headless flies.

Normal methods of directional guidance within the Demon Realm will be ineffective. Although the team has Nen tools for directional guidance, they are only in the possession of the team leader.

"Hey, I'm saying—don't you guys think something's a little weird?"

Ahead, the tall soldier suddenly turned his head and whispered, his face pale.

"I don't know if I'm being too sensitive, but I feel like I'm being watched by a lot of people—should I use a circle?"

The circle, as one of the more difficult techniques among advanced application skills, is not used by most people, and among the four of them, only he knows it, and he can only release it to a distance of six or seven meters.

Upon hearing this, the other three exchanged glances. Although they had emergency lights on them, turning on the lights in a dangerous, dark environment would undoubtedly be suicidal.

In that case, only the option of creating a circle remains.

"Now that you mention it, I have a similar feeling."

"Me too----"

My companions felt the same way.

So they decided that the tall soldier would use the [Circle] to scout the surroundings, just to put their minds at ease.

"call----"

The tall soldier exhaled softly, his face showing signs of strain, trying his best to inflate his body's spiritual energy like blowing up a balloon, expanding it outwards.

one meter.

three meters.

Five meters —

"How is it?" his companion asked anxiously.

In fact, the circle is not without its hidden dangers. Some sensitive monsters will notice them because of the Nen energy emitted by the expansion of the circle.

"Seems like everything's alright—"

The tall soldier's expression gradually softened, no longer so stiff. He then withdrew the circle and continued to lead his companions forward.

It seems it was just an illusion.

After walking for about half a minute, they felt like they were going around in circles. Just then, the clouds parted and a ray of moonlight shone down, allowing them to see each other and their surroundings clearly.

That's a fact they don't want to accept.

A strange, unknown monster, about four meters tall and covered in black fur, surrounded them and followed them as they moved.

At that moment, the four men's pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints, and an extreme chill surged into their hearts, as if their souls were trembling. It turned out that they had been "surrounded" by monsters all along!

Dozens of eyes of varying sizes stared at them from above the "black wall," along with dozens of mouths.

Seeing their reaction, the monster's eyes revealed a lively smile, and dozens of mouths simultaneously emitted eerie eating sounds, gradually shrinking its body and swallowing the four people.

"The fourth squad, all eighteen men, were wiped out."

The home team in the back.

Conrad, the assistant in charge of compiling battle statistics, recorded the latest information.

Beside him, Holm, also a support member and belonging to Leo's team, analyzed the intelligence using his Nen ability based on the available information.

His role is equivalent to Pjorn in Lynn's team.

He first recorded the existing information, then pinched the paper with both hands and infused it with his spiritual energy. The paper rustled into pieces of spiritual fragments, and the total number was even greater than before.

Holm concentrated intently and carefully pieced the fragments together.

This is his Nen ability: [The Puzzle at the End of Knowledge].

He can turn existing information into puzzle pieces, while new pieces of information will be mixed in. He has three minutes to piece the pieces together to form a complete puzzle in order to obtain the intelligence, which will be presented in the form of text or pictures.

If you spell it wrong, you will get the wrong information.

The more information you have, the more new information you can add, and the easier it is to complete the puzzle.

Time ticked by, and finally, with almost three minutes left, he successfully completed the puzzle, with detailed information written on the paper.

He was studying the dangers encountered by the first squad.

【Fearful Sickle Grass】: It is a type of grass with a sickle-shaped appearance and a height of about half a person.

This plant is very special; it can sense the emotions of surrounding organisms by releasing a certain scent.

Normally they are just ordinary plants, and even a slight breeze will only cause them to sway a few times. Their only special feature is that they are "sharp".

However, when a creature appears nearby and the animal experiences feelings of fear or dread, it will launch an attack.

Many creatures can withstand one or two waves of attacks, but [Fearful Scythe Grass] usually appears in clusters.

When one Fear Scythe Grass launches an attack, it means that a large number of Fear Scythe Grasses are attacking at the same time.

Few creatures can withstand such a high-intensity offensive.

No wonder several members of the first squad died at once.

In fact, Lynn and his companions had also encountered this creature in the maze.

Lynn concluded that only three types of creatures could evade this attack.

First, he is extremely powerful and completely unafraid of attacks from the [Fear of Scythe Grass], or he can easily destroy them, like him and Jin.

Secondly, they possess certain special abilities that allow them to evade these attacks, such as the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Door-Door Fruit.

Third, creatures that have no emotions, or that do not experience emotions such as fear.

This creature would be the natural enemy of the Fearful Scythe, because they don't experience the emotion of "fear" at all.

Naturally, you won't be attacked by the [Fearful Scythe Grass], and you can deal with the [Fearful Scythe Grass] however you want.

However, such creatures are relatively rare; most creatures with self-awareness are capable of experiencing fear.

Especially for creatures that have witnessed the power of the Fearful Scythe, they often face even greater danger when confronting it.

Because whenever they see the Fearful Scythe, they subconsciously associate it with the Fearful Scythe's terrifying attacks.

Fear will involuntarily arise in one's heart.

At that time, the Fearful Scythe Grass will attack them, and their fears will come true.

If it's a creature that has never encountered the [fear of sickle grass] before, the chances of survival are much higher.

Because they are unaware of the terror of the "fear of the sickle grass," they are not easily frightened.

Having obtained crucial intelligence, Holm finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was only then that he realized something was wrong with Conrad beside him.

Although Conrad was a commissioner of the Navigation Department, he did not know Conrad before and was usually only responsible for recording the battle situation and casualties.

But after spending so many days together, they became good friends.

Holm inquired about the situation, while Conrad, now twenty-six, was on the verge of collapse.

"It's no use, humanity can't overcome disasters—" Conrad said, burying his face in his hands and weeping bitterly.

Over the past few days, as he watched more and more names appear on the record list, the psychological pressure kept increasing, especially with the thought that each name represented the disappearance of a living, breathing life.

Even more unbelievable is that despite making so many sacrifices, they have not gained much so far.

There wasn't even a trace of the so-called vanilla.

This is not an isolated case.

As a commissioner of the Navigation Agency, he naturally knew many secrets.

Historically, V5 has sent out elite forces 149 times, totaling 7500 people, with only 5 missions resulting in surviving personnel, a very small number.

It's important to understand that these people are elites from all six continents. Only with the support of a superpower can they build up such a large and diverse elite force.

Humanity has repeatedly challenged the Dark Continent, but has only been met with defeat.

The Flight Attendant's database contains rows of cold, hard numbers.

Every number represents countless living, breathing people.

The number of deaths will also be recorded as a number, a new number symbolizing human greed and despair.

"No hope is of any concern to us."

"All that humans need to do is manage their greed and stay obediently in the six continents—that's the only way to be safe."

Conrad's eyes were dark as he spoke words that were disheartening yet cruelly true.

Being able to enter the Flight Attendant Hall, he was naturally one of the elite talents.

Although he was not good at combat and was a support type of personnel, he still possessed B-level strength and was once arrogant.

He once believed that humanity was the world's overlord and that one day it would be able to launch a counterattack against the Dark Continent and conquer that dangerous region.

But it was only during this time, when he participated in the operation concerning the Dark Continent for the first time, that he realized how difficult it was.

The truth has always been cruel; he just hadn't taken it to heart before.

He hadn't taken the previous death toll seriously, but now, as he personally wrote down one death after another, he realized the gap between his dreams and reality.

That's an insurmountable barrier!

Upon hearing this, Holm's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent, though he did not lose his head in dejection.

After a moment's hesitation, he continued to activate his Nen ability.

He wanted to confirm something else.

Since the outcome of the battle above is that we won't get the vanilla if we don't succeed tonight, there must be some reason why.

It's either the flowering season, like today when the herbs will wither, although he doesn't know if the herbs will wither.

Either someone beat them to it and got the vanilla!

Who is it?

The forces of the United States of Saherta?

No.

Holm's mind flashed with images of King, Lynn, and others, and he wrote down the known information on paper before activating his Nen ability.

This time, there were significantly more puzzle pieces than before, because it involved some "predictive" effects, making it much more difficult.

Thinking of what Cornram had just said, Holm gritted his teeth and began to work on the puzzle with unprecedented intensity, picking and choosing from the mountain of fragments, his entire body surging with Nen energy.

He wanted to prove to Camlam that humans were not so useless!

Please, this time we have to succeed!

Through his desperate efforts, he finally pieced together a result in a thrilling end.

There was only a short sentence and a blurry picture.

This puzzle nearly exhausted Holm's Nen, but his eyes shone brightly as he excitedly picked up the puzzle and showed it to Cornram.

With just one glance, Kamlam froze, his eyes fixed on her.

The jigsaw puzzle contains only one sentence and one picture.

Tonight, the team of Kim, Lynn, Pjorn, and Nob successfully obtained vanilla.

The picture is a bit blurry, but you can still vaguely make out that Pjorn and Nob are in the corner, while Lynn, who looks down on the world, is in the center. Beside him is Jin, who is squatting on the ground like a little brother, examining the corpse.

All around their feet were the corpses of gold and silver ingots, and behind them were plants of unknown origin that resembled herbs.

is this real?

Is it possible for humans to do this?

Conrad naturally knew about Holm's Nen ability, and although he was still a little incredulous, he believed it to some extent.

If possible, he would prefer to see that scene with his own eyes.

Images of humanity overcoming disasters!

At the core.

In the spacious square, gold and gold and silver ingots stand facing each other.

The aura emanating from the gold made the gold and silver ingots regard him as an enemy.

In an instant, two powerful auras, at least S-grade, soared into the sky. The aura of gold was relatively peaceful, while the aura of gold and silver ingots was extremely wild, filled with a chilling killing intent.

Any creature that tries to take the vanilla must die!

"Not bad." Jin grinned, twisted his arms, and walked forward steadily, his fighting spirit high.

The pressure on the field was so intense that even the hard ground couldn't withstand it, and cracks appeared even before the battle had begun.

And the cracks are still widening.

Even the air on the field seemed to freeze, filled with an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Jin's gaze shifted from its previous nonchalant attitude to a sharp one, his piercing eyes fixed intently on the gold and silver ingots.

The next moment, humanity and disaster, two powerful beings, were pressed together.

Peng!

The fists collided, and a huge, jellyfish-shaped shockwave was visible to the naked eye, sweeping out in all directions and creating billowing dust.

The stone ground beneath their feet immediately collapsed with a deafening sound!

The first exchange was just a "friendly greeting," but then the gold and silver ingots engaged in an S-class battle. Just what was going on?

Pjorn and Nob could only stay far away; anyone who got any closer could hardly withstand the oppressive aura. Only Lynn could face it without flinching.

Just as Jin and the gold and silver ingots were locked in a fierce battle, a figure suddenly appeared on the roof of a nearby building and locked onto Lynn and his two companions below.

"Um?"

Lynn narrowed his eyes slightly, then grabbed Pjorn and Nob with both hands.

In an instant, he teleported the two of them to a safe area a hundred meters away.

Almost simultaneously, the spot where they had just been stood exploded as if a meteorite had fallen, leaving a huge crater.

Amidst the thick smoke and dust, a gold and silver ingot slowly straightened up, recovering from its falling posture. It looked at Lynn and the others, tilting its head as if pondering why the target had suddenly moved to a distance.

Forget it.

If it doesn't work the first time, try again until they're all killed.

Pjorn and Nob were still in shock at this point.

It turns out there's more than one guardian of the gold and silver ingots!

Another one was lurking in the shadows and launched an attack on them.

If Lynn hadn't had the ability to teleport with others, it's hard to say what would have happened to Lynn, but the two of them would definitely be in a terrible situation.

"So there's another one? That's a good thing."

Lynn was not angry but pleased; he thought, "Perfect timing!"

He was worried that he didn't have enough S-grade gold and silver ingots, and it would be a pity if he didn't get a card, but then another one of the same level came along.

S—There are also differences in strength, and these two gold and silver ingots are not considered very strong.

Both ends were roughly within his and Jin's tolerance level, but if another one came, things would be hard to say, so they had no choice but to retreat.

"You guys go into the four-dimensional apartment and hide for a bit, I'll handle this."

Lynn spoke calmly, but her eyes held a hint of fervor.

He, too, longed for a great battle.

Although he wasn't a fanatical fighter, as a strong person, he also had the desire to have a good, satisfying fight.

Unfortunately, with his current strength, he can't find many opponents who can make him go all out; they must be at least S-rank.

He also had a good relationship with Kim, Netero, and others, so it was impossible for them to have a life-or-death fight; at most, they would just spar.

Disaster gold and silver ingots are a formidable opponent.

No, we should say enemies.

An enemy capable of killing.

"This—" Nob hesitated.

Although he had spent these days with Lynn, he knew that Lynn, the exorcist, was not weak like a normal exorcist, but rather quite powerful.

But facing those gold and silver ingots alone would be too dangerous, wouldn't it?

Perhaps it would be better to leave with Kim.

Pjorn, however, had more confidence in Lynn. He clenched his little fist, his fair and adorable face showing a serious expression, and said firmly, "Go for it!"

"All we can do is not hold you back."

Then Pjorn pulled Nob along and they went into the four-dimensional apartment; their presence on the field would only be a burden to Lynn.

On the other side, Jin Jian saw another half-gold, half-silver guardian gold and silver ingot appear, and he secretly thought that something was wrong, so he planned to go and support Lynn.

However, seeing Lynn's imposing manner, he realized he had been overthinking things.

Lynn doesn't seem to need his help at all.

The gold and silver ingots seemed to sense something was wrong, but they walked step by step without making any rash moves, remaining vigilant at all times.

"Don't let me down~"

Lynn smiled, a warm smile like that of a friendly older brother next door.

The moment the words were spoken, the air vibrated.

His aura surged wildly as if it were going crazy.

The fluctuations of his spiritual energy created a powerful wind pressure, producing whistling sounds as the pure spiritual energy flowed and circulated around him.

At this moment, he was like the blazing sun, his light extremely intense, accompanied by extremely high energy fluctuations.

A massive surge of energy overflowed and rushed outwards in all directions, causing the ground to crack under the immense pressure.

Having opened the sixth gate, he clearly possesses S-level strength.

Did they really have such hidden strength?

Sensing this aura, Jin revealed an expression that was both unexpected and yet perfectly logical.

Indeed, given that his perception ability showed Lynn could harm him, it's not surprising that he displayed such strength.

Jin smacked his lips, thinking, "Come to think of it, that's really impressive."

It's truly remarkable that someone so young possesses such strength.

Even Jin was terrified by Lynn's talent.

Jin didn't believe this was Lynn's true strength, but rather saw it as most likely some kind of temporary enhancement.

Even so, Lynn's overall strength is still admirable.

Swah—

The next moment, Lynn used the Flying Thunder God Technique to suddenly appear beside the gold and silver ingots and kicked out.

Peng!

An astonishing force struck, and Jin Yinding instinctively defended himself but was still kicked to the side. His feet scraped wildly against the ground, even collapsing it, before he finally managed to stop.

Then, two identical figures appeared on Lynn's left and right sides. The main body held the Hyōrinmaru, while the clone created ice blades to serve as weapons.

The next second, all three Lynn's vanished from their spots!

Only three spiderweb-like cracks were left on the ground, spreading over a wide area.

When he reappeared, a ghostly figure silently appeared beside the gold and silver ingots.

The three figures surrounded the gold and silver ingots perfectly, with no way to break through.

With perfect coordination, the three attacks were directed at the head, chest, and lower limbs of the gold and silver ingots respectively.

It seems there's no way to escape it, no matter what method you use.

"So—how would you handle this?"

A glint of light flashed in Lynn's eyes as he attacked the chest in his true form.

In his view, head attacks are mostly unsuccessful and even risk being countered.

Therefore, for safety reasons, the main body is to be hit in the middle of the chest.

However, they also tried their best to avoid the death of their clones.

To Lynn's surprise, the gold and silver ingots did not open their heads to avoid the attack.

Instead, he let his clone hit him!

The next moment, a metal branch suddenly pierced through his chest and went straight for Lynn, who was very close by.

In an instant, a flash of inspiration struck Lynn, and he seemed to have figured out some key points.

He remained calm even as the attack was imminent.

Peng!

The clone, wielding an ice blade, struck the head and lower limbs of the gold and silver ingots.

The ice blade was incredibly hard and emitted a chilling aura.

Even without using fire attacks, ice can be very effective, such as freezing plants directly to prevent them from healing themselves.

The gold and silver ingots attacked quickly, but his follow-up attack was even faster!

With the help of the clone, the gold and silver ingots' attack successfully missed and did not pierce him.

Instead, it struck the ground beside it, creating a dark crater that faintly glowed with a cold purple light.

Clearly, this branch is highly poisonous.

Although the main body's attack missed, the attacks from the other two clones did hit.

At this moment, Jin Yinding had obvious injuries on his head and lower limbs.

His head was blown apart, and his lower limbs were severed, making it a gruesome sight.

But immediately, numerous branches sprouted from the broken ends of the gold and silver ingots to repair their bodies, including the head and legs.

The body, which should have been severely injured, was restored to its original state in an instant.

Even though his head was smashed to pieces, it instantly returned to normal.

Lynn looked at the head of the half-gold ingot and the half-silver ingot, and made a guess in his mind.

It is clear that it must have been composed of both gold and silver ingots.

In other words, there should be at least two parasitic plants inside this gold and silver ingot!

Originally a parasitic plant, in order to maximize cost-effectiveness, it only invades the head, while the rest of the body is a normal human body.

But now there are two parasitic plants, so the plants have spread not only to the head, but also to other parts of the body.

On the surface, it still looks like a human body, but inside it is all intertwined branches!

This also explains why this body is significantly larger than that of a normal person.

Lynn also told Kim about her guess.

"Jin, there should be more than one parasitic plant inside this thing."

"So its entire body is covered with branches, and its repair ability is surprisingly fast."

Peng!

On the other side, Jin crossed his arms in front of him and directly received Jin Yinding's powerful punch, his body involuntarily sliding backward.

The strong friction between the shoes and the ground made a harsh sound, and even two marks appeared on the ground.

Jin shook his arm, stared coldly at the "undamaged" gold and silver ingots, and murmured to himself.

"So, do we have to destroy the whole place all at once?"

Through these repeated clashes, Jin had a general idea, and Lynn's information further confirmed this.

There might be more than two parasitic plants inside these gold and silver ingots, after all, their recovery ability is incredibly fast.

On one occasion, even after losing nearly half of its body to a powerful attack from Jin, Jin Yinding was able to recover quickly.

"but----"

"It doesn't have to be this way."

Jin could see every change in the gold and silver ingots.

Although the gold and silver ingots were still recovering very quickly, Jin had already noticed that the recovery rate was gradually decreasing.

This high-intensity recovery must consume a lot of energy in its body. If it continues like this, its speed will only get slower and slower.

Unless it is replenished.

What can supplement it?

Jin glanced at the vanilla on the wall, a conflicted feeling flashing through her mind.

If his guess is correct, if the gold and silver ingots are pushed too far, they might very well eat the vanilla on their own.

While herbs are known for their healing properties, they can also replenish energy if consumed in large quantities.

In other words, we still need to destroy all the gold and silver ingots quickly, otherwise they might eat the vanilla.

At the same time, Lynn also considered this possibility.

But before he could act, the gold and silver ingots in front of him made a move.

It did not move, but the huge sphere on its head flashed light frequently.

Immediately, a beam of light shot out, but instead of attacking Lynn, it was launched into the sky, where nearby gold and silver ingots would rush to its aid.

This is----

Lynn's eyes narrowed, and the gold and silver ingots were summoning their companions!

The strength displayed by Lynn and King made them feel threatened, so they directly sent a signal to summon their kind.

This was the core area, where the number of gold and silver ingots was relatively dense and their strength was greater. Before long, more than ten gold and silver ingots arrived.

Two of them were rated A+, and the rest were rated A or A-.

Herbs are forbidden to them; anyone who tries to touch them will suffer a severe blow.

As expected, it would summon its own kind, and Jin wasn't particularly surprised to see this scene.

Because he observed that the gold and silver ingots were not unintelligent and were social creatures, it was perfectly normal for them to summon their kind to help them when they were harmed.

Now that things have come to this, it's about time to withdraw.

Jin took it in stride. After all, it was only his first attempt, and it was normal to fail. He decided to retreat first and gain experience so that he would have a higher success rate in future attempts.

But he clearly overlooked one thing.

They were not incapable of dealing with the accumulation of gold and silver ingots.

Lynn forced the gold and silver ingots back with a single strike, glanced at the other rapidly approaching ingots, and a smile gradually crept onto his lips.

This is good news.

This "grand gathering" of gold and silver ingots brought back nearby gold and silver ingots, which helped him a lot, as he didn't have to search for them one by one afterward and could clean them up all at once.

Should we use overwhelming numbers against him?

He is least afraid of human wave tactics!

Suddenly, dazzling white lights appeared on the field!

For a moment, the light from the character cards alone illuminated the entire place.

After the white light dissipated, various different auras appeared on the field!

Without exception, they all possessed formidable strength!

The golden body trembled, glancing in astonishment at the figures.

real or fake?

Although he knew that Lynn had several different Nen beasts, which were quite strong and had unique abilities, such as Gengar, which could remove Nen.

But he didn't know that Lynn had so many spirit beasts, and they were all so strong—he didn't know exactly how many spirit beasts Lynn had, as if they were endless.

At this moment, character cards surrounded Lynn like stars around the moon.

Zoro, brimming with fighting spirit and radiating sword intent, was full of vigor.

Gengar, its body radiating dark energy, emitted eerie laughs!

Yoruichi Shihōin unleashed a powerful spiritual pressure, her hands crackling with electricity!

In addition to Tsunade, Chopper, Dragonite, Sasuke, and Zashiki, Lynn released a total of eight character cards this time!

Zoro, Gengar, Yoruichi, Tsunade, and Chopper are all A+ rank.

If we break it down further, the A+ grade can be divided into three levels.

Tsunade and Gengar are the strongest, and are close to S-rank.

Next are Zoro and Yoruichi.

Finally, there's Chopper, who's been newly promoted to A+ rank.

The other three, Sasuke, Dragonite, and Zashiki, are all Rank A.

Thanks to the potent poison in the purple forest, the poisonous bird has been on a fast track during this period, growing at an astonishing rate and has already been promoted to Grade A.

Lynn glanced at it and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Although there are only eight people, each of them is a high-end combatant, with five A+ level and three A level.

This is his character card team, a truly luxurious lineup. He alone is enough to rival or even surpass the high-end combat power of a country.

He regarded the gold and silver ingots that had been gathered as food on his plate.

He didn't hold back!
