Creating gods in the Hunter x Hunter world

"Well, the fire lizard has already sent a negotiator over."

"Welcome from the outer cave."

Lori smiled at Fu Long before leaving.

Montmartre gestured for Fu Long to follow him.

Fu Long didn't ask any more questions and led the team to leave the Fire Ant Cave with Montmartre.

Upon exiting the cave, Montmartre warmly said, "If you have the chance, you can come again next time. We fire ant clan are very hospitable."

"Of course, but what is this Fire Battle Plain you mentioned earlier? And what's the deal with the Fire Lizard Army?"

Montmartre glanced back. There had been fire ant soldiers appearing from time to time in the cave, so Montmartre didn't say anything more.

They had already exited the cave, and there were only two guards at the gate, and they were quite far apart. After thinking about it, Montmartre decided it didn't matter.

So I gave a brief explanation.

The volcanic area is still very large, and the fire ant colony only occupies a part of it.

The entire volcanic area is divided into two parts: the top of the volcano and the battlefield at the foot of the mountain.

The top of the volcano refers to the monsters near the crater, such as the magma beast from before. They are very powerful, but generally they fight alone.

It's quite rare to see a creature like the Magma Beast that has a son.

These top-level monsters are powerful, but they also have a weakness: they cannot stray too far from the crater. Otherwise, once the flames on their bodies go out, the fire ants can take advantage of their small size to attack their weak points.

The battlefield below the mountain is comprised of four races that have formed around the central fire-battle plain.

Among them, the Fire Ants are considered to be a slightly stronger group.

The strongest is the fire salamander clan in the north. This clan is large and powerful, but their numbers are relatively small, so it can be said that every one that dies in battle is one less to go.

Next is the Fire Ant Clan to the east. They are numerous, and although they are the smallest of the four races, their sheer numbers make them the strongest among them.

Most importantly, fire ants like Lolita, who have human blood, are just as powerful as fire salamanders.

To the south is a relatively peaceful race, the Fire Silkworm race.

This race doesn't usually participate in battles, but the Fire Silkworms also have their own abilities, so other races don't dare to invade their territory.

Finally, there's the fire lizard clan.

This race is entirely militant and frequently launches attacks on other places.

They are extremely aggressive, and this time, they have likely organized another military force to fight the fire ant clan on the Fire Battle Plains.

The fire-scorched plains were considered a battlefield on all four sides.

The battles here still follow an ancient custom: all the fighting takes place on the plains, and the victor can demand compensation from the defeated side.

However, do not cross the Fire Plains; this is a prerequisite.

After getting a general understanding, Fu Long also had a wry smile on his face. If these monsters in the volcanic area encountered warlike humans, they probably wouldn't even know how they died.

It follows ancient customs, without any surprise attacks or stratagems; it's quite simple indeed.

"Oh, right." Montmartre said, then reached behind his back for a while, pulled out something, and handed it to Fu Long.

"These are fire crystals produced underground by our fire ant clan. It is said that humans really like this kind of thing, so we are giving them to you."

There are five flame crystals in total, sparkling brightly.

The drunkard didn't care, but the three women's eyes widened and gleamed when they saw the crystal.

Fu Long thanked him. Judging from Montmarch's condition, there must be a lot of these Flame Crystals produced, so taking a few wouldn't hurt.

Upon handling the crystal, Fu Long felt the heat emanating from it; it was warm and comfortable.

"The fire ant clan is rich in crystals. I've heard that the other three clans also have similar crystals, but we've never seen them before."

Well, what was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener.

Fu Long came to this volcanic area with the intention of obtaining the boundary markers for the volcanic region.

When Fu Long obtained the Flame Crystal, he found that the system did not respond, indicating that the conditions had not been met.

Does this mean I have to visit all four tribes at the foot of this mountain?

It seems so. Let's go and see. Since the fire lizard has already arrived at the Fire Battle Plains, why not go and take a look?

However, Fu Long glanced at Mengmadi but didn't speak. He figured he could find a place on that plain himself, so he wouldn't go with the Fire Ant Clan.

If the fire lizard clan were to also befriend humans and follow the fire ant clan, wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

Go by yourself, that's perfect.

Chapter 398 The Fire Salamander That Seized the Opportunity

Fu Long led the team, first bypassing the fire ants' territory, and then heading from the mountainside towards the Fire Battle Plain in the middle.

It took two days to reach the outskirts of the Fire Battle Plain.

Fu Long did not intend to enter the Fire Battle Plain directly, but instead stood on the hillside on the outskirts of the Fire Battle Plain and looked down.

I must say, this location halfway up the mountain is really great.

Further up, creatures from the volcano will appear. Fu Long has encountered them twice; they are creatures similar to magma beasts.

They were all very tall, but as Lori said, there is usually only one of these creatures in each volcano.

Therefore, as long as Princess Iron Fan is used, it can be said that the opponent will be forced to retreat in one move.

They were large, but had no special abilities; they could only rely on the flames from the volcano to attack.

Once the flames are gone, you could say that all that's left is its physical form.

There is also a giant snake on the volcano where Fu Long is now.

When it charged in with flames, it felt like a fire dragon; apart from lacking legs, it was quite formidable.

But when Princess Iron Fan waved her fan, it was clearly just a piece of hemp rope that had been burned.

Her body was covered in a patchy, worn-out appearance, which was indeed unsightly.

As soon as the fire went out, the snake was so frightened that it shrank back and never dared to appear again.

Therefore, when Fu Long and the others stood halfway up the volcano, looking at the Fire Battle Plain with binoculars, they were not worried at all about any problems behind them.

On the battlefield, the three forces gathered together.

On one side is the fire ant clan, and it must be said that there are a lot of fire ants.

At the very front were the seven legion commanders, of whom Lori was only one. Fu Long had met the other six legion commanders before.

They all have human faces and ant bodies, and behind them, there is a tall, phantom-like ant.

This is also their spirit beast. Although it is not the strongest, it is very effective on the battlefield, deterring the fire lizard and another race.

On the other side, the fire lizards were much larger than the fire ants, and their numbers were also considerable, roughly one to three times that of the fire ants.

The three leading fire lizards were all very tall and strong, but they didn't have any psychic powers; they relied solely on their powerful muscles and scales.

The weapons they carried were varied, but the most common were metal blocks like hammers.

It must be a metal produced in a volcano.

The fire lizard soldiers, each wielding a large sword or similar weapon, stood at the back, their thin tongues lolling out, their faces fierce.

Fu Long's main focus was on the seven special creatures on the other side of the two large groups.

What makes them special is that these creatures are entirely green.

It looks somewhat like a frog, but its body is covered in spots, and it's about four or five meters tall—it's quite large.

Moreover, these creatures exuded a black aura, clearly indicating that they were not the same species as fire ants or fire lizards.

"That must be a fire salamander, I must say, it's really ugly," Foxy said, frowning.

She is very beautiful, so she can't stand ugly things.

You might say that even the ugliest person has something to look at, but this salamander is definitely the ugliest in every way.

"But they're quite strong," the drunkard chuckled. "You can tell from the black aura behind them. To be honest, they'd be really tough to deal with if we were to fight them."

Fu Long nodded, squinted and thought for a moment, then said, "What are they planning to do here? Could this be a three-way battle?"

"Probably not, they're probably just here to take sides," Billy said.

Several people looked at Billy, who smiled slightly and said, "Don't forget what I used to be."

Fu Long then remembered that Billian used to be a member of the heavy armored knights of some small country.

That said, this heavily armored knight order must have fought in wars before.

Therefore, she was indeed much more familiar with certain aspects of war than the average person.

"Taking sides," Fu Long thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then we can test how strong this fire salamander is."

Billy smiled and said, "Understood. We'll go down in a bit and take positions with the fire ants to see what they plan to do."

Fu Long simply nodded, that's what he meant.

At this moment, both the fire ant and fire lizard armies pushed forward, indicating that they were preparing to attack.

However, at this moment, the fire salamanders' team also pushed forward.

This puts the fire ant clan in a very passive position. If attacked from both sides, the fire ant clan is naturally no match for them.

The problem is that for so many years, the four parties in the volcanic area have kept to their own business. Who knew that this time, the two parties would unite?

"Everyone, how about we, the fire salamanders, settle this conflict?"

The strongest of the fire salamanders stepped forward and looked at the fire ants and fire lizards.

Both stopped and turned to look at the fire salamander, wondering what they planned to do.

"To be honest, in all the fighting here, the ones who end up injured or killed are all our own people. It's pointless. How about this: the fire lizards are here simply to ask for food. If you fire ants offer some food, you can both quell this battle and protect your own people. Isn't that better?"

The fire salamanders seem to be thinking of everyone's best interests, but for the fire ant clan, this is a form of infiltration.

If you feed the fire lizard today, what about tomorrow?

If you've provided food for the fire lizards, what will happen if the fire salamanders come along? Will you provide them with food as well?
