Creating gods in the Hunter x Hunter world

A labyrinthine forest, if only...

By this time, the discussion over there had come to an end. They could only try to see if Billy or other allies could defeat the Soul Eater Bird, which would be a long process.

"I just received some intelligence," Fu Long said in a deep voice as he walked over.

Chapter 554 The First Encounter with Paliston

Fu Long recounted the battle between Byand and the Phantom Troupe, and also mentioned their location, which wasn't far from their side, in the Labyrinth Forest.

After listening, Qiduo pondered for a moment and said, "You mean, we should go and rescue them?"

"We don't necessarily have to save everyone. Our team has no conflict with either side. If possible, we should be able to bring some people out of there without any problem."

Qi Duo understood Fu Long's meaning, took the mountain god temple with her, and found a place to spread it out at the edge of the labyrinthine forest.

Then everyone can enter the maze forest. If they find someone suitable for their side inside, they can use the sub-talisman to bring that person out.

This is not difficult for them, but will these people really be obedient after they are brought out?

And once they find out the purpose of the mountain god temple, I estimate that...

"Byander and his group know about the Mountain God Temple, but the Phantom Troupe probably doesn't. Once you go in, you'll mainly be looking for members of Byander's group."

The Phantom Troupe members are quite strong in combat, but they are indeed too self-centered.

It's difficult to get them to obey orders.

It makes no sense for the Hunter Association to only cooperate, or rather, only cooperate under their preconceived conditions.

On the contrary, if we could bring back a few of the men that Byand had, they would indeed be useful.

"By the way, there's one main target: the palace attire. Also, the chef and the puppy would be nice to bring along if possible."

The palace attire is for music hunters, and it might be somewhat useful in dealing with the Soul Eater Bird.

The chef's main job is to prepare a meal; this role is somewhat optional.

As for the puppy, its nose can help it avoid trouble.

It can be said that those dressed in palace attire are essential talents.

“We can go in separately, find them, and bring them out directly. But if we encounter enemies, we must retreat quickly.” Qi Duo nodded after listening to Fu Long’s analysis.

Believe it or not, if we really brought these people out, they might actually be quite useful.

Therefore, this can be done.

"Then let's change our target now."

They still have time; they can easily reach the surrounding mountain boundaries and labyrinthine forest.

"Perfect, let them set up their defenses properly. We'll stop playing with those Soul-Eating Birds for now." Qi Duo laughed as well.

The Soul-Eating Bird must have set something up; by leaving, they can avoid that setup.

Once the enemy realizes they're gone and lowers their guard, they might just come back.

That's really spot on.

Once the idea was in place, everyone immediately put it into action.

After putting away the mountain god temple, the group headed towards the maze forest.

If you want to enter the jungle under the World Tree, you must go through this maze forest.

This is the only way.

After Fu Long and his group arrived at the location, they first opened up the mountain god temple, and then Fu Long distributed the ten sub-talismans.

To prevent people from getting separated in the maze forest, only the ten people who obtained the sub-talisman will be allowed to enter the forest this time.

This doesn't even include those who don't take action, like Fu Long, Jin, and Botobai. Their main objective is still the arena over there.

Some people were also left in the mountain god temple. After all, they had to be prepared for what to do if the other party was brought here and everyone entered the forest and destroyed the mountain god temple. All of this had to be considered.

With everything prepared, Qiduo led the nine chosen people into the forest.

Billian, Wenji, Tokarinnu, Gugu, Humei, and Piyu were left here.

Of course, Fu Long and his group didn't enter the forest. They rested for a while before heading to the fighting arena.

After making the arrangements, the others entered the maze forest.

After resting for a while, Fu Long felt his Nen energy recover, so he entered the arena again. This time, the battle started with the spotted cat.

There are also creatures from the volcanic realm behind them, but none of them matter to Fu Long.

After playing three more matches quickly, they received a reward: several treasure chests like blind boxes, from which they could draw one directly.

Fu Long chose one and received a bag of Nitrogenin, so it wasn't a complete waste.

After obtaining the items, Fu Long withdrew again to recuperate.

Meanwhile, in the labyrinthine forest...

While swinging his arm, Byand muttered, "The Phantom Troupe is really troublesome. The team has been scattered. Damn it, Chrollo's strength seems to have gotten stronger again."

Beyond had fought Chrollo before, and at that time he felt that he was strong enough to easily defeat Chrollo, but now that's not necessarily the case.

On the other side, Kuroro was also flipping through his book, then offered a power to heal himself.

The treatment took a long time, and it was clear that he was also seriously injured.

"By Yande is still just as troublesome as ever. I wonder how the others are doing."

Kuroro looked around, feeling as if he had just walked through this place, and now he was back here again.

After looking around again, Kuroro realized he was lost and that finding his way back would be difficult.

"Sigh, I guess I'll just have to take it one step at a time." With that, Kuroro chose a direction and slowly moved forward.

Such scenes play out throughout the forest.

Because of the battle, everyone was scattered, and now, as a result of being scattered, no one can find their way, which is very troublesome.

Paliston kept analyzing, but eventually he found that his analysis was completely useless.

I just can't find the place. This forest isn't one that's easy to let people in.

"Oh dear, this is really troublesome. I hope I can run into other people, even enemies."

As they were talking, a figure appeared in front of them. Paliston was startled, rubbed his eyes, and clearly couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Paliston smiled as the figure drew near.

"President Kita, I never expected to see you here."

Qiduo looked at Paliston in front of her and was also annoyed. Of all people to meet first, she had to run into this guy.

More importantly, this guy is very difficult to deal with.

"Oh, right, Fu Long should be with you. That means you should have a child talisman on you."

Sure enough, Paliston quickly found the information about Qiduo.

Kido also squinted at Paliston.

"Don't misunderstand, I just want you to take me out of this labyrinthine forest. Of course, I believe you came in to find some people, right? Like the palace attire."

Kido's eyes widened suddenly. How could Paliston have thought of the palace attire? He was too perceptive.

Chapter 555 In the Maze Forest

"How did you know?" Now that Paliston knew about the palace attire, there was no point in hiding it anymore.

Paliston tapped his chin and said, "I think someone among us must have the ability to get you into this labyrinthine forest. First, you need to get rid of the Phantom Troupe, because you can't persuade them."

Qi Duo nodded. This was something they had agreed on from the beginning: no contact with the Phantom Troupe, since they really couldn't persuade them.

"Then who among us is useful to you? I'll exclude Bayand and me for now. Of the remaining people, Palace Attire, the Chef, the Little Dog, and the Captain are all support-type abilities, which are useful to you. As a former member of the Zodiac, I know you are not lacking in combat power."

Qi Duo scoffed, his guess was spot on. That was exactly the case; combat-type members were indeed of little use to them.

"Among these people, you won't need the captain for the time being. You won't have any contact with the captain before the ship sets sail. The same goes for the cook. You're with Fu Long, who has resources from the original continent, so a cook is a dispensable position."

"The remaining puppies are for searching. You all have similar abilities, but the puppies' abilities are just icing on the cake. But the palace attire is different."

“Her musical abilities are unique among the twelve branches, so I believe that your target should be her.”

That's incredibly perceptive. Paliston has pinpointed his weakness in an instant.

"So, taking me with you is good for you. As for the palace attire, I think I should be able to find her."

Qi Duo narrowed her eyes, wondering if Paliston was telling the truth.

"Of course, it's also possible to ruin her; it all depends on what you think."

Kido scoffed again. Paliston was a man of his word. If the palace attire was ruined, the battle between their side and the Soul Eater Bird would probably not be so simple.

"Okay, I agree to let you join us."

Kido squinted. Paliston was just one person, and even if he had any ideas, he wouldn't be a match for the Zodiacs.

Moreover, although some of the things this guy did after becoming vice president were disapproved of by the Twelve Branches, it must be said that he is also a good candidate for an ally on this Dark Continent.

Paliston smiled slightly and said, "I knew you would agree. Actually, finding the palace dress is quite simple. Voice is arguably the best way to connect with the palace dress, for example..."

Paliston took out a whistle.

Qiduo was completely bewildered. You can call out the palace attire with just a whistle?

Paliston whistled, but no sound came out, which surprised Kido.

Then Zhang Lishitong said, "There are many kinds of sounds. The sounds that humans can hear are only a short part of the sound spectrum. But the palace is different. The sound that this whistle makes is inaudible to humans, but the palace can hear it."

Kido gritted his teeth. This guy really has a lot of unorthodox methods. This is something that academics should know, but Paliston still managed to apply it in reality.

That's why Qi is so angry. She's learned so much, but how to apply it in practice is what she should be studying now.

The two of them waited there.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Byander's side also encountered Kansai.

"Hey, isn't this Kansai?"
