Creating gods in the Hunter x Hunter world

"Let's set up camp here first, and then..."

Fu Long understood. They would set up camp here and then go to rescue Byand. Once they found him, they could use the sub-talisman to return directly here.

Continue northwest from here to enter the Sandworm's Nest.

Neither the Hunter Association nor the whale ship are likely to stop here, so pursuing them is simply impossible.

This is the easiest method.

Fu Long nodded. He had things to do these past few days, and this place was just right.

Chapter 334 Delivering Food Myself

Setting up camp was quick; all the tents were arranged around the central mountain god temple, serving both as a surveillance post and a protective barrier.

Fu Long quickly sent the few sub-talismans he had to Paliston and the others.

There's nothing to hide.

Each sub-talent can teleport along with four people nearby, which is quite good.

Paliston and his group also tried it out. On this island, you can teleport anywhere, which felt pretty good.

After trying it, Fu Long found Paliston and Kim.

Is something the matter?

After trying out Fu Long's sub-talent, Paliston and his team took even better care of Fu Long, focusing primarily on his safety.

"There is indeed something. The flat crabs on this mountain all carry toxins. They shouldn't be naturally poisonous, right?"

Paliston thought for a moment and said, "I don't know the specifics."

Jin said, "There have been previous records of people being bitten by flat crabs but not experiencing any changes. After examination, it was found that the person was not poisoned, so the researchers also conducted a comprehensive examination on the person and found no anti-poisoning factors."

Fu Long nodded and said, "In other words, there are actually non-toxic ones among the flat crabs. So, their toxins may not have been there from the beginning, but rather they were contaminated by something."

Upon hearing this, Kim and Paliston exchanged a glance, both of them having some thoughts on the matter.

There has never been anything to take away from this mountain, which has puzzled many people.

But if we think about it this way, if these flat crabs really are contaminated with toxins, then can the toxins be removed?

It's important to know that toxins can also have a significant effect.

Research on certain special toxins can not only lead to the discovery of entirely new poisons, but also to the development of antibodies against those toxins.

Once antibodies are developed, the toxin ceases to be lethal.

So for them, it would be great if they could actually find this toxin.

"Well then, since we have time and safety isn't a concern, we can send someone to investigate properly tomorrow."

Paliston also became interested.

Jin's eyes lit up; exploring the unknown was his favorite thing to do.

It feels really good.

Fu Long nodded in agreement. He suggested that they should just rest well today and talk about it tomorrow.

The group set off early the next morning. The mountain wasn't very big, so they quickly circled it but found nothing.

The group then entered the huge cave halfway up the mountain.

The floor inside the cave wasn't very hard; it was even a little soft. Walking on it felt like stepping on cotton, with a slightly unsteady feeling underfoot.

You can also see many flat crabs here, some of which are still crawling outwards.

No one dared to pick up these flat crabs; they all knew how dangerous they were.

If you keep walking forward, you'll soon see a three-way intersection.

The sound of wind could be heard from both sides of the passage, and Fu Long immediately knew what was going on at those two entrances.

This isn't a fork in the road; these two sides are clearly two lungs, and it's breathing that creates the wind here.

The middle part should be the esophagus.

From time to time, you can see flat crabs emerging from the middle.

Fu Long suddenly had an idea: maybe, possibly, probably, he had already found the toxin.

This isn't some kind of toxin; it's clearly the stomach acid from this massive mountain.

Moreover, it's a strong acid, which might react with flesh and blood, producing another strong acid that could rot the human body.

Good heavens, we finally found it.

"Should we continue forward?" Muhail asked.

“Keep moving forward, everyone be careful. If you sense anything is wrong, use your sub-charts immediately. Everyone keep in formation, don’t panic,” Paliston said.

Everyone advanced in groups of five, and Fu Long's group was no exception.

Soon, after passing through a long passage, the group finally arrived at a small lake.

The space here is a bit larger, and there are flat crabs everywhere. They burrow into the lake and then come out again, some of them leaving through a passage at the back.

Some, however, were heading towards the passage ahead.

Anyway, everyone went their own way, but Fu Long also checked and found that some of the many flat crabs that went into the lake never came out again.

This means that some of it was dissolved by the stomach acid.

I understand now, this is a symbiotic ecosystem.

This enormous rocky mountain is a living creature; it lives off these flat crabs, and its body remains completely still.

These flat crabs must have been very fertile; some of them entered the stomach acid and were digested to become nutrients for this huge mountain, while others hunted outside.

Although people or creatures don't often come here, there are always things in this sea area, so there's no shortage of food.

Fu Long looked at the lake in front of him. This was no lake at all; it was clearly a pool of stomach acid solution.

"Oh, there's water! That's great." Billy and Foxy exchanged a glance, clearly having something in mind about this body of water.

"I advise you not to think about this. If you get your hands on this water, you'll definitely die," Fu Long said.

Paliston and Kim looked at Fu Long.

"Did you find something?" Paliston went to the water's edge, took out a coin, and threw it into the water.

Phew, that coin started to rot very quickly after getting wet.

They hadn't even sunk into the water, yet they were already rotten beyond recognition.

Everyone gasped. With such a level of corruption, if a person went down there, they would probably turn into minced meat immediately.

Or perhaps, not even a scrap of meat will be left.

"What kind of water is this? It's amazing!" The doll stood by the water's edge, looking down in surprise.

“This isn’t water,” Fu Long said with a smile. “It’s probably stomach acid.”

"Uh, this..."

Several people were skeptical.

The little dog in the mushroom hat came over, sniffed it twice, and said, "It really does look quite like it. Wait, you mean this thing..."

He pointed around.

Fu Long nodded: "That's right. If this place is a stomach, then this huge mountain is a living creature."

Paliston and the others realized this too, and then one by one they showed expressions of horror.

"Wait, if that's the case, we're now inside the stomach of a giant monster. What if it..."

"If it shuts up, we'll be eaten?"

Everyone took a few steps back, realizing for the first time how dangerous they felt. Good heavens, they were practically delivering food into someone else's stomach!

Chapter 335 The Poisonous Sting of the Horse is Upgraded

Fu Long smiled and said, "No need to be so nervous. This creature hasn't woken up after all these years, which means that unless there's a major change, it won't wake up. Besides, these flat crabs are also maintaining its life, so there's no big problem."

Everyone nodded, but they all moved away from the area of ​​stomach acid.

"I never would have guessed that. So that's how it is. These flat crabs use stomach acid. If you add some blood reaction, then it can achieve the effect of a toxin."

Fu Long nodded, that's the idea, that's how the toxin came about.

"So now there's a question: are there any methods to get rid of some of this stomach acid?"

That's a really professional question, and everyone exchanged glances.

Someone used their mental energy to create a disc and threw it into the stomach acid. Soon, the mental energy was corroded and became completely ineffective.

As for other things, they couldn't guarantee they would be usable.

“It seems there’s no other way,” Paliston said.

Fu Long just smiled. It was indeed a bit troublesome, but it wasn't impossible.

Fu Long didn't know how much stomach acid he would need, but collecting one box should be enough.

However, this requires a bit of skill.

Take out a sealed cup and unscrew the lid first.

Then, Fu Long used his Nian to transform it into the shape of a small knife.

Fu Long can manage such a simple change.

Just like any ability user, regardless of their type, can train to create a number at their fingertips.

Using the knife, Fu Long quickly scraped a small opening in the thin film on the surrounding mountain wall, and then cut it off little by little.

Although it's called a thin film, it's actually about one or two centimeters thick.

After all, the mountain is so big that the gastric mucosa here is also quite thick.

As long as the other party's stomach is not damaged, the mountain will not wake up.
