Living in Hunter x Hunter

Hussum brought two bottles of wine, as well as some spices and food.

Knowing that Lucci hadn't eaten yet, they came to entertain him.

Then the two of them drank and ate barbecue.

Husum also began explaining the Blood Orchid to Lucci.

"Since you discovered the Blood Orchid, you must have also discovered the Blood Orchid inside the Blood Jade Bee hive, right?"

Lu Qi nodded.

"The Blood Orchid has always been a legend in this mountain range. Every year, people enter it in an attempt to find it, including professional hunters."

"But none of them have ever come back."

According to Husum's explanation, the Blood Orchid was found in ancient books, which recorded its related effects.

This is a special plant that can prolong life and keep people young.

Can it really extend lifespan?

In that case, longevity rice doesn't seem to be anything special.

No, the effects of longevity rice are probably even more terrifying. Lucci thought of Don Freecss, who might still be alive and "writing a book".

If the other party is truly not dead, then they have actually lived for hundreds of years.

The effects of the Blood Orchid are certainly incomparable to its.

In addition, the Blood Orchid can also allow creatures to "evolve".

This is Hussum's guess.

There is no relevant research, since to date, no one who knows of the existence of the Blood Orchid has been able to obtain it.

"Is there no one? Not even V5?" Lu Qi didn't think so. With the power of a nation, it was impossible that no one could obtain it.

"Ha, how could V5 possibly know, even if this is here?" The Breme Mountains are located within the territory of the Kingdom of Kukanyu.

Not many people know that the Blood Orchid exists, and even fewer know that it exists in the Bremen Mountains.

Normally, once someone knows this news, they won't easily tell others.

This is a huge fortune; how could we possibly give it away?

As far as Hussum knows, only a few large companies and some related personnel that Hussum knows about it.

This is why the Bremen Mountains have remained unscathed.

Don't underestimate the power of humanity. No matter how many terrifying creatures are in the Bremen Mountains, they can't be stopped by artillery fire.

Husum continued his explanation.

Having discussed the effects of the Blood Orchid, the text then mentions the Blood Jade Bee.

Husum believes that the changes in the Blood Jade Bees were all caused by the Blood Orchid, and that the Blood Jade Bees may have been just ordinary bees at the beginning.

The evolution was achieved through the Blood Orchid.

It was Husum who first discovered the Blood Orchid in the Blood Jade Bee hive, and then explored the mountains by observing the Blood Jade Bees.

We learned about some aspects of the mountain range.

He and his companions went to great lengths to learn about the Blood Orchid in the mountains.

But you can only admire them from afar; you can't possibly go in and pick a single blood orchid.

As for why they didn't steal it from the Blood Jade Bees...

They actually tried it; the blood orchids in the hive, although still blood orchids, had actually degenerated.

And over time, it will continue to degenerate or wither.

It will either become a "Blood Magnolia".

Its effectiveness is greatly reduced.

Husum continued to talk about the situation of the Blood Jade Bee.

The situation regarding the Blood Jade Bees in the forest is unknown.

The specifics are unclear, as to why they would build a beehive in the forest. It seems to be a selection process for the Blood Jade Bees in the mountains.

The "Blood Magnolia" cultivated in the forest also produces seeds.

Blood magnolias can also be planted in the forest.

But as soon as the flowers bloom and emit fragrance, they will be eaten by creatures that are attracted to them.

There will be no retention whatsoever.

That's why there have never been any "blood orchids" in the forest, except for beehives.

Even so, the Blood Orchids in the hive are not safe; they can be breached by powerful beasts that devour the hive along with the Blood Orchids.

Lu Qi then realized that the brown bear's real target was probably not the honey, but the "blood magnolia" in the beehive.

What Husum didn't mention was that he cultivated a lot of blood magnolias and a lot of blood jade bees at his residence.

He is the forest ranger here, and also a beekeeper.

But he had never cultivated a Blood Orchid before, which is why he was so excited when he saw Lucci pick one.

Even the Hunter Association doesn't know anything about the Blood Orchid.

The organization was loose, and the hunters wouldn't report it to their superiors.

Unless news breaks that Blood Jade Bees are eating or injuring people in the Bremen Mountains and are expanding outwards, it is unlikely that such a report will be submitted.

In other words, the danger level of the Blood Jade Bee is extremely high.

Husum said, "Actually, it's hard to say. I don't know much about the Blood Jade Bees in the mountains, but the Blood Jade Bees in the forest are just like ordinary bees. They don't attack humans unless provoked."

Lucky had a very fruitful night.

Or rather, he gained a lot from taking the Hunter Exam.

Lucci was interested in everything he learned from these three exams, and much of it was helpful in his planning.

The examiners for these three exams were all outstanding in their respective fields.

They cannot be judged solely on their abilities.

I don't know if there's another exam coming up, or if it's the final exam.

It's time to start gathering intelligence on Sky Arena.

For the next few days, Lucci stayed outside the forest doing nothing.

But in reality, they were always using Phoenix to fly and explore in the mountains.

This mountain range is vast and extremely dangerous, teeming with birds of prey. Anyone attempting to enter by air will be attacked; it is an absolute no-fly zone.

Within the mountains dwell various unidentified giant beasts.

Lucci even discovered some special beings who had mastered Nen, which was truly eye-opening.

Similarly, in the mountains, Lucci also discovered some buildings.

These appear to be ancient ruins, proving that people once lived here.

It seems that this place is one that not many people have explored.

The human world in the Hunter world has many places that humans have not yet explored, and this is not the only one.

During the exam period, candidates passed one after another.

Some candidates chose to give up. They were injured and unable to continue. Rather than die in the process, they chose to give up and wait for the next opportunity.

Sometimes, choices are very important.

By the very last moment of the seven days, only 37 candidates had passed.

There were about fifty candidates who chose to give up or did not pass.

Half of the test takers died in this forest.

This is the danger of the Hunter Exam; to participate without sufficient strength is nothing short of suicide.

Candidates who do not pass can only leave on their own.

The Hunter Association's airships will take the successful candidates to the next test location.

And we were informed that the next exam would be the final exam.
