Creating gods in the Hunter x Hunter world

"By the way, do you have any gems here, like these?" The three women gathered around.

Their eyes were all bright and sparkling.

Clearly, they didn't care about tribes or farming; what they cared about most was the gems here, the gems of the fire lizard tribe.

"Yes, we do have it. It's a treasure of our fire lizard clan called the Scale of Blazing Fire. But this thing is controlled by the royal family. We lowly soldiers would never have such a gem."

Billy scoffed. This was a bit tricky. If only fire lizards were like salamanders.

However, Fu Long had also considered that it was impossible.

The salamander species is indeed too small in number.

For example, both produced a thousand gemstones.

Each salamander receives two gems, and the king of the salamanders receives six hundred more.

There's too much stuff, we can't distribute it all, so it's not as precious anymore.

As for the fire ant clan, it is said that each side has fourteen legion leaders, totaling five sides, which doesn't sound like many.

However, each legion commander led more than three hundred fire ant generals.

This is extraordinary. More than seventy legion commanders led more than 20,000 fire ant generals, not counting the number of fire ants below them.

A thousand Flame Crystals are simply not enough to go around.

Therefore, these flame crystals are concentrated in the hands of the legion commander.

Lori didn't care much. She gave them five because they had them. You can't expect an ordinary ant general to produce them.

Besides, the fire ant clan did not regard the fire crystal as a particularly important treasure.

Because they understand better that in a volcanic region, the most important thing is to survive, and food is the most important thing.

Furthermore, fire ants have short lifespans, and the treasures are truly left for the next inheritor of the memories, so they are of little use.

But the fire lizard is different.

They are quite numerous, while the number of Fiery Scales is small.

In addition, with a tribal system, there must be a system of rewards and punishments, and these fire lizards also have a relatively long lifespan.

Therefore, gemstones are naturally extremely concentrated.

It is estimated that in some tribes, only the tribal chief has one or two gems.

Fu Long was aiming to get at least five gems.

*Pfft pfft*, the wine blade appeared and killed several small fire lizards.

Then the little beast summoned one of its small snakes, which devoured the corpses in a few bites.

The small snake has its own space, which allows it to digest food slowly and grow.

"It seems that to get the gems here, we either have to go to the royal family or to the tribal chief," the drunkard said.

“We can only try to find it in the royal family; it will be very difficult to find it from the tribal chiefs,” Fu Long said after thinking for a long time.

"Why?" several people asked.

Fu Long shook his head, feeling the oppression of this world becoming even more pronounced.

However, after organizing his thoughts, Fu Long said, "If we want to find gems, how many do we need to find at least? Five, right?"

"Yes, I want this kind of gem too, it's so beautiful. I wonder what the gems of fire lizards are like."

Fu Long said, "That's it. After the gems are concentrated, the royal family will have a large number of gems in their possession. However, in order to ensure that the gems can be used as the highest-level reward, they certainly won't release too many gems."

Billy immediately realized what was going on and said, "So, the tribal chief might only have two or three such gems, and he'd treasure them terribly, perhaps even guarding them with heavy troops?"

“That’s right. And once we get a gem from a tribe, it will alert them. The fire lizards will know we’re here and will probably be on high alert.”

Fox Fairy understood and said, "So, by obtaining things from the tribal chief, the possibility of future plundering is actually limited. Only the royal family can obtain so many gems at once."

"That's only one reason. Another is the issue of security. Although the tribe is not as powerful as the royal family, because they have fewer gems, their defenses are definitely more stringent."

The royal family, because of the large number of jewels, might be less vigilant, and even if we took a few, they might not even notice.

After Fu Long said that, everyone nodded in agreement. The problem was, it was very difficult to infiltrate the royal family.

"Let's sneak in. There's no other way. Try not to meet or fight the fire lizards to avoid discovering our target."

"Understood," the drunkard and his companions replied.

"Also, Fox Charm, create an illusion so that from the outside, we appear to be a patrol squad of fire lizards."

"Leave this to me. As long as we don't get too close, the fire lizard definitely won't be able to spot us."

"It would be best if things went smoothly," Fu Long thought to himself.

Chapter 405 Who are they?

A patrol team of five people appeared on the border of the fire lizard.

From the outside, there seems to be no problem.

But if you get closer, you'll find that there are actually three women in this group, which is quite rare.

It's important to know that females are not paired with fire lizards in the combat order, as fire lizards are a different species from fire ants.

Women are expected to consider the future of the next generation.

Of course, no one came up to check. This group of fire lizard soldiers was completely unrecognizable as to which tribe they belonged to, so no fire lizards came up to ask them anything.

Everyone has gotten used to it; for so long, no one has been able to invade the territory of the fire lizard clan.

There are only four races in this place. Apart from the Fire Silkworms, which are a bit strange, the other Fire Ants and Fire Salamanders are all easily recognizable.

Fu Long and his group easily entered the interior of the fire lizard clan.

Here, we found several more fire lizards. After killing them, we became ordinary members of the fire lizard tribe, and that was the end of it.

After all, being called a patrol team is too conspicuous. If they encounter a ruthless individual, they might be dragged directly into the battlefield.

Not long after, a tribe of fire lizards discovered that five fire lizard soldiers were missing from their ranks, and they searched for them for a long time.

In the end, they couldn't find it and had to give up. Of course, the salamander general of this tribe was also quite strange. Four big, live salamanders just disappeared like that. Did something come out of the volcano?

Anyway, he imagined it all out.

Fu Long was unaware of this. They were moving very fast and had already reached one of the four innermost tribes.

They were traveling along the route of that wealthy tribe.

Only in this way can they avoid being noticed by other fire lizards.

Those fire lizards that know how to grow food can at least all be fed and clothed.

Once they have food in their hands, they naturally develop the idea that they are superior to other fire lizards.

As they walked along the road, Fu Long noticed that almost all the fire lizards here were pointing their nostrils at them.

That's really good, you can't see me.

“Once you leave this tribe, you’ll reach the imperial city,” the drunkard said as he stepped forward. “I asked around for a long time before I finally found out from a little fire lizard. It’s said that there are royal guards protecting the road to the imperial city, and ordinary fire lizards can’t get in at all.”

Fu Long was taken aback, but upon reflection, he realized it made sense. How could the imperial city be so easily entered by outsiders?

Especially in a territory resembling an ancient tribal system, the king of the fire lizards must have been afraid of assassination attempts.

So the defense was quite tight.

In addition, the Fire Lizard tribe is not at peace. The king is probably afraid that he will be assassinated and that some tribal chief will succeed him.

But no matter what, the group of us had to find a way to get in.

"We'll see when the time comes. If there's an opportunity, we'll try to go around it. Of course, if there's really no other way, we'll have to fight our way in to see what happens. But it's best not to do that. Once we provoke them, it will be troublesome to take action later."

The drunkard nodded, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

Leaving the city of this tribe, to be honest, there were a lot of fire lizards in the city, at least tens of thousands.

Fu Long and his companions passed through several tribes on the outskirts of the area, where there were only a few thousand fire lizards, along with some smaller ones.

It's clear that, in order to get food, some of the soldiers in this building must have gone to the battlefield and are fighting to the death there.

"Hey, hey, I'm talking to you five." Just as they were about to leave the tribe, a voice came from behind.

Fu Long gasped, because the guy behind him gave him a dark aura.

This means that this is at least a fire lizard general, and more importantly, Fu Long sensed that he was coming for them, which is very interesting.

However, Fu Long did not stop and continued walking forward.

The fire lizard general seemed to be enraged and roared, "Speak to those five soldiers!"

"Run! The deserters are here!" At the crucial moment, Billy was quick-witted.

After shouting in a gruff voice, the five men rushed forward at top speed.

Actually, if you're going to run away at this time, it's best to have a good reason; otherwise, you'll be immediately recognized as an oddball.

Then, a large-scale search will be conducted in the Salamander's territory.

Perhaps if they are caught, they will be captured as rare animals and sent to the royal family, but at that time, they will definitely be restricted.

There is also the possibility of being killed outright.

Billian's shout was quite effective; by portraying himself as a deserter, he at least wouldn't stand out.

Five fire lizard soldiers who escaped from the battlefield encountered a fire lizard general, so it's quite normal for them to run away.

General Salamander was also taken aback for a moment, and said, "He's not one of my deserters. I just have something I want to ask you. Really."

After thinking for a moment, the Fire Lizard General led his fire lizard soldiers to catch up.

After turning a corner of a mountain, Fu Long and the others stopped. From here, they could no longer see the tribe. The Fire Lizard General had caught up with them.

What he didn't know was that Fu Long and the others were waiting for them on purpose; otherwise, they would have been left behind long ago.

"No, why are you running?" General Salamander asked, still slightly out of breath, as he arrived with his Salamander soldiers.

Fu Long and the others did not turn around, but simply raised their hands.

"General, we were just afraid of death, so we deserted. Please spare our lives!"
