Creating gods in the Hunter x Hunter world

Qi Duo frowned, and after a long while, she finally asked, "What method?"

"Healing spell".

Chapter 497 Investigate for Me

Healing technique?

Everyone looked at Fu Long. What are you talking about? You actually want to use a healing spell to get through this?

Only Jin was thinking, seemingly pondering whether this method would actually work.

"We have all overlooked a problem, or rather, we have all confused some basic concepts, which is why we have failed to analyze the situation in the present moment."

Fu Long quickly offered an explanation.

Everyone was stunned and looked at Fu Long.

Qi Duo raised an eyebrow and said, "Basic concepts?"

"That's right, the most basic concepts: what is life, and what is death?"

Jin's eyes lit up, clearly having figured out the essence of the matter, while the twelve zodiac members began to ponder.

Only Kansai looked impatient and said, "Fu Long, just say what you want to say. Whatever your solution is, we'll help you achieve it. No need for all this beating around the bush."

Fu Long was somewhat speechless. He didn't want to beat around the bush, but without explaining this, he couldn't convince everyone.

Qiduo reacted the fastest, clearly having figured it out, and said, "For the Drywood Clan, their life is our death."

"That's right, dead wood is what grows after a tree dies. So from the beginning, we confused the concepts of life and death."

For the withered tree clan, using fire to attack withered trees might seem like it would destroy them, but it would also bring death energy to the enemy.

And by utilizing this death energy, the dead trees grew even better. Why? Because the dead trees themselves were dead.

Using death to deal with the dead is absolutely unacceptable.

Qiduo laughed and said, "So we need to use healing magic to bring the dead trees back to life. That would actually be the biggest blow to the dead tree clan."

“That makes sense.” Fu Long saw that Qi Duo understood, which made things easier.

Because Kito will convey this concept in a way that they can fully understand.

Sure enough, after organizing her thoughts, Kito explained it to the twelve branches, and this time even the Kansai understood.

"In other words, when we initially tried to kill the opponent, we ended up giving them power. This time, when we used healing magic to try to save them, we actually weakened them."

Potobby nodded and said, "That sounds feasible."

"Currently, there are three people who can do this: Fu Long, Wen Ji, and Leorio."

Relatively speaking, Fulong and Wenji are the main force, while Leorio can only be considered a supplement.

After all, his medical abilities are achieved through tools; Fu Long and the others are stronger in true telekinetic healing.

But that's enough.

"Even so, with our abilities, it would be difficult to contend with them. After all, even if we could use healing spells to deal with the withered trees, there is also the withered tree clan in the forest. Their ability is to absorb life force, isn't it?"

This is mutually reinforcing. The Deadwood Forest survives only by absorbing death energy, while the Deadwood Clan absorbs life energy. Therefore, the Deadwood Forest relies on the Deadwood Clan to maintain its lifeless state.

The Deadwood Clan uses the Deadwood Forest to capture living creatures and absorb them.

Everything was perfect.

"Therefore, the three of us will use healing spells on the Deadwood Forest. As for the Deadwood Clan, we'll leave that to you. If a conflict occurs, take them to the Land of Life and kill them. By then, they won't be able to revive."

The withered tree clan absorbs life force, but they revive by relying on the death energy of withered trees. Once they are pulled into a place of life force, they lose the power to revive.

This is equivalent to real death.

This cycle of life and death is really quite interesting.

"Well, so we split into three teams. Fu Long, Wen Ji, and Leorio will be responsible for treating the dead trees. Billian, Piu, and I will be responsible for protecting the three of them. The rest of us will form two walls, with the strong taking on the weak, and fight the enemy continuously. If we speed things up like this, we should be able to get through the dead tree forest in two days."

After considering it, Qi Duo nodded; this should be achievable.

"We'll start our operation first thing tomorrow morning. This time, we must get through the Deadwood Forest."

Hearing Qi Duo assign the task, Fu Long nodded, but he felt somewhat depressed.

It seems we won't be able to check in at the Deadwood Forest, since just breaking through there is already quite a challenge.

Therefore, it was impossible to reach the center of the Drywood Clan, and naturally, it was impossible to obtain the core of this territory.

I'm only one super coin away, why is it so difficult?

Fu Long was speechless, but speechless as he was, he still had to move forward.

Rest and recovery are necessary; starting tomorrow, there will be no more opportunities for rest.

The next morning, everyone gathered at the outskirts of the Deadwood Forest.

"Don't waste your energy. Just maintain enough territory for us to move around. Apart from the deadwood clan, which can extract life force, other deadwood don't have that ability."

Qiduo gave an order: "If a dead tree absorbs life force, it's just courting death."

Is a dead tree that has grown leaves still called a dead tree? It has clearly been reborn.

Fu Long nodded, and the nine-headed skull appeared in conjunction with the nine-ringed staff.

The nine-headed skull is surrounded by a faint holy light, which has a certain healing ability, but the healing is relatively small. Its only advantage is that it can defend and heal at the same time.

But the Nine-Ringed Staff is absolutely a sacred artifact for healing; with a single swing, after the light fades, all things are revived.

Of course, Fu Long did not use the nectar. That thing was too lethal, and he would never use it unless absolutely necessary, since collecting it was also very troublesome.

Wenji also used a replica of the nine-ringed staff. Although it was a replica, it was sufficient.

Leorio's psychic power was injected into the two of them, creating a continuous, ever-flowing effect.

"Walk."

The two of them swung the nine-ringed staff together, and a flash of light appeared as countless rays of revival fell on the withered tree in front of them.

The dead tree immediately began to recover, and then Fox Charm used the water's tail to sprinkle water on it.

This is what she thought of last night: trees need water to grow.

The water was quickly absorbed, and soon, several nearby dead trees began to grow rapidly and sprout leaves.

When these trees grew to maturity, everyone felt a significant relief from the pressure they had been under.

That was a deathly pressure brought by the withered forest, but now, that pressure has been broken.

The barren forest was miraculously revitalized by the arrival of water.

This change not only affected Fu Long and his group, but also the Deadwood Clan in the center of the Deadwood Forest.

They felt that their connection with the dead forest had suddenly diminished, though not by much, but the sense of loss was still quite obvious.

In the heart of the deadwood forest, within the largest deadwood tree, a gigantic wooden figure gazed into the distance: "Investigate for me."

Chapter 498 Facing the Drywood Clan Chief

In the Deadwood Forest, dozens of members of the Deadwood Clan rushed swiftly towards the outer perimeter.

That was the area they sensed, the area where they had lost the ability to detect the dead forest, and they didn't know why.

What's even more troublesome is that this area is still expanding, but somehow it seems to be moving forward.

This greatly annoyed the Drywood Clan. If they continued to advance like this, their territory would shrink, which was unacceptable.

The distance is quite far, but thankfully, it's a two-way journey.

Just as Fu Long and his group had traveled about fifty kilometers, they finally saw the first group of deadwood men who had arrived.

When these deadwood people saw the trees in front of them bursting with leaves, they were also shocked. There was life in the deadwood forest! How could this be reasonable?

Looking again at Fu Long and Wen Ji in front of them, the two were using a healing spell on one of the dead trees. In a short while, the tree turned into a large tree with branches and leaves.

With the land now teeming with life, the withered wood people immediately felt that this area no longer belonged to them.

"Damn it, stop right there!" Several withered wooden figures rushed forward, their roots, which served as their feet, about to pierce the earth and absorb the life force here.

However, before they could make a move, Potobby and his men struck first.

He quickly pulled the few dead wooden figures charging ahead into the land of life, and then beat them into pieces with a flurry of punches.

If this were anywhere else in the Deadwood Forest, these Deadwood People could still survive, but unfortunately, this is a land of life.

Without any death energy, there's no way to bring the withered wooden figure back to life.

Strands of black energy emerged from the defeated, withered wooden figure and were then absorbed by the revitalized trees.

The balance of power between the forest and the deadwood clan was constantly shifting, causing the few deadwood people following behind to involuntarily stop in their tracks.

We can't go any further. It's obvious that going any further means death.

In terms of combat ability alone, the Dryad Clan is indeed inferior to the Twelve Zodiacs, and even the Small Beasts are much stronger than them.

The real advantage of the Deadwood Clan lies in their immortality within the Deadwood Forest, and their ability to use the forest to continuously strike enemies using a strategy of quantitative change.

Apart from that, they are simply not good at fighting.

"Humans, why are you invading our territory?" The leader of the withered trees stopped the other withered trees behind him from rushing forward and looked at Fu Long coldly.

Fu Long shook his head and said, "It's not that we want to cause trouble for you. We just want to pass through. But you blocked our way before and tried to absorb our life force. We had no choice but to use this method to continue. You can get out of the way now, or don't blame us for taking action."

For Fu Long, avoiding battle is the best option. Every race here has its own purpose, and if a race is wiped out, it will cause a chain reaction.

Therefore, it would be good if we could maintain a state of non-aggression.

However, while that was their idea, the Drywood Clan on the other side clearly did not think so.

Dozens of members of the Deadwood Clan scattered and guarded part of the dead land.

The land of life that Fu Long and his group created was actually not very large; it was surrounded in the middle.

The withered tree clan dared not rush forward to attack, for they had realized that if they stepped into the land of life before them, they would surely die.

"We'll attack slowly from here. I refuse to believe they can hold out," the leader of the withered trees shouted.

In an instant, the roots of more than a dozen withered wooden figures took hold in the ground, and they began to move towards the land of life.
