Creating gods in the Hunter x Hunter world

The treasure they were searching for was right in the mountain in front of them, but no matter how hard they tried, they just couldn't open the mountain.

Being so close to the treasure yet unable to obtain it left Wen Laimo very frustrated.

More importantly, during several explorations, because they were advancing in separate teams, they actually lost two people.

One was found dead without a trace, while the other was petrified. Although he was rescued, the petrification could not be broken.

What's most troubling is that this treasure seems to move. From the night before, when they were only one kilometer away from it as the crow flies, by the next morning, they were more than ten kilometers away. The treasure had moved on its own.

After searching for a long time, but finding no trace, Wen Laimo is now completely unable to figure out where he went wrong.

"Boss, how about we try blasting the mountain?" someone suggested.

Wen Laimo shook his head. The noise from blasting the mountain would be too great and would attract other people.

By then, a battle would likely be inevitable, and Wen Laimo did not believe he had the strength to defeat everyone.

Even Slickz has more men than us, and with the two we've lost, it'll be too difficult for us to fight them.

Besides, there's another drunkard, and his group should have entered as well, but we don't know where they are.

"This place... um? Who's here?"

The faint sounds in the forest alerted Wen Laimo, who quickly formed the shape of a throwing knife in his hand and sent it flying forward.

Not only will someone who is stabbed by a throwing knife be injured, but the psychic energy from the knife will also enter the body, causing blood to coagulate.

If the thought is not eliminated in time, cerebral thrombosis is just the most common consequence.

Fu Long had no intention of concealing his presence, so he waved his hand, and a cotton-padded cassock appeared, directly covering the opponent's throwing knife.

Wen Laimo gasped. Just a moment ago, he felt his telekinetic throwing knife disappear, and the telekinesis of the knife had not returned to his body at all.

The opponent's strength far exceeded his expectations.

"Don't throw a knife at us the moment we meet. We're here to talk business." Fu Long stepped forward, followed by the drunkard and the other five men.

Wen Laimo breathed a sigh of relief. He had a fairly good relationship with the drunkard, and the two had no conflicts. Wen Laimo had even treated the drunkard to meals before.

Although it's impossible to say that this relationship is foolproof, Wen Laimo could at least tell from Fu Long's words that the other party had no ill intentions.

Of course, with his hands behind his back, Wen Laimo made a few hand gestures to his teammates, indicating that they should also be careful.

Fu Long glanced at Wen Laimo's group. He remembered that when they left the tavern, it was a group of thirteen people. He didn't expect that there would only be eleven people left now.

"Are the other two dead?" Fu Long looked at the net.

Net shook his head and said, "One of them is definitely dead, the other is still alive, but judging from the signs of life, he should be petrified like Srickz and the others."

"Tch, that's what makes you so annoying." Wen Laimo glared at Wang. He had worked with Wang before, so he knew what Wang's abilities were.

One of the net's comments made him think a lot, and then he asked, "You saw Srickz, and he was petrified too?"

“That’s right. One member of the team died, and the rest were all petrified.” The drunkard took a sip of his drink and then said, “That’s why we’ve come to you for cooperation. As for how the treasure will be distributed, we can discuss that.”

Wen Laimo did not rush to agree. Instead, he glanced at the group of drunkards and then frowned and asked, "The snake's kiss has disappeared. Have you also encountered danger?"

“No, we are voluntarily reducing our personnel.” Fu Long glanced around, found a tree stump to sit on, and said, “How about we talk about our cooperation?”

“We have more people, so why should we cooperate with you?” Wen Laimo smiled slightly. Cooperation was fine, but he had to maintain the dominant position.

However, Fu Long shook his head. He understood Wen Laimo's thoughts, but he absolutely could not let Wen Laimo take away the dominant position.

"You possess the Emperor's Crown, and your team includes a telekinetic individual who can locate the treasure using the Crown. Yet, why haven't you found the treasure yet? Furthermore, haven't you noticed that the treasure seems to move?"

Wen Laimo gasped. Fu Long had only said two sentences before getting to the point about the problems they had recently encountered.

That leaves only two possibilities: either Fu Long has a hidden spy within their group, or Fu Long knows something, especially about these treasures.

Wen Laimo leans more towards the second option because his team consists of people he has worked with many times and are not so easily turned.

Wen Laimo glanced at the drunkard's group and raised an eyebrow. In terms of overall combat strength, this group should not be their match, but if this group did not fight head-on and instead chose to ambush or assassinate, they would have a hard time defending against it.

It's better to talk; maybe we can get some information.

After analyzing the current situation, Wen Laimo said, "Since that's the case, we can talk. Let's discuss your terms."

"We will share intelligence with you. After obtaining the treasure, I must use the four rare treasures for two hours. Don't worry, I will not leave during these two hours and will be under your surveillance. After two hours, the ownership of the treasures will be divided equally between the two families."

Wen Laimo pondered for a moment and said, "To be honest, the condition of two hours is quite strange to me."

“There’s nothing strange about it. We can stay here or go somewhere we both deem safe. I’m only holding the treasure for two hours. Of course, that’s the maximum. Maybe it won’t take that long.”

Fu Long simply set aside time for himself; in reality, perhaps everything would have already ended the moment he held the treasure in his hands.

"The conditions aren't too outrageous, but we obviously have more people than you, so this way of dividing the spoils is a bit unreasonable. I can agree to a 30/70 split."

"No way." The drunkard replied directly, "Four-six is ​​the final limit. If you don't agree, we can only leave it to fate. But I believe our intelligence will surprise you."

Wen Lai nodded: "Deal."

This is also his target price.

“I want to add one condition: I want priority in purchasing the Qizhu. You can name your price, as long as it’s within a reasonable range,” Bisky stepped forward.

"No problem." Wen Laimo nodded. With someone already in charge of the treasure, what's the big deal?

"Then let me hear some news that will really surprise me."

Chapter 96 Joint Countermeasures

"What? You mean the mountain in front of us is a giant snake, and the treasure was eaten by the snake?"

"See, he's getting desperate." The drunkard looked at Wen Laimo, who had his mouth wide open, and remained calm on the surface, but was secretly overjoyed.

You little brat, you've finally met your match? You were so dismissive of our intelligence at first.

Following Wen Laimo's group, they also looked at the distant mountains shrouded in mist. Such high mountains must be the site of a huge snake coiled there.

"Now that this information is confirmed, there's no point in discussing it. What we really need to discuss is the danger posed by this snake."

That's true. Such a large snake is extremely difficult to kill, and its danger is evident from the deaths of several people and the petrified Srickz's team.

"It's definitely a petrification skill. Based on our guess, it's probably poison gas emitted from its mouth. However, the poison gas can only be released when the target is awake; otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to get it into its body."

Fu Long analyzed the situation from the side, and Wen Laimo and the others could only listen without objecting, because Fu Long and his group had been inside the snake's mouth before.

That is clearly more convincing.

"Furthermore, we can now determine that during the day, this snake should coil up to sleep, and during its sleep, it gives the impression of being a mountain, or rather, it may petrify itself. But at night, it may transform into a giant snake and roam around. However, it's difficult for us to pinpoint the exact timing."

"So, if we time it right, we can enter its body and take what we want?" Wen Laimo's eyes lit up; this was a possibility.

"It's hard to say. You've been searching for two days and haven't found the place. This shows that it's very difficult to find the snake's mouth. There's no fixed way to tell which way the snake's mouth faces or what its location is when it's lying down. So it's too difficult to find it right away."

People quieted down; time had become the most troublesome thing in the exploration.

One can imagine that a snake as huge as a mountain would take a long time to find the mouth of its opponent.

Then people have to go inside, and since this snake is so huge, the search inside will definitely take a long time, which requires people to race against time.

Meanwhile, what dangers lurk inside the snake's body remains unknown.

In short, the danger has increased significantly. If they cannot guarantee the time available, then death will be the only thing waiting for them in the end.

They might even be worse off than that madman who came out wearing a crown, and die inside the snake's body.

Fu Long wouldn't have any problem with that; if he sensed danger, he could easily use the white dragon horse to escape. But he couldn't care less about the others.

His horse was just a white dragon horse; it couldn't possibly carry so many people.

"So, ensuring that we can get in safely and come out safely has become a top priority."

"What if we kill this snake?" Wen Laimo's eyes turned cold. The simplest way is always the most violent way.

If the snake is killed, its danger will be greatly reduced; for example, its petrification ability will be much harder to use.

"How do we kill this snake? We don't know how big it is. Even if we did, can you imagine how big a snake is that can open its mouth four meters wide just by putting its mouth on the ground?"

Fu Long looked at Wen Laimo, while Wang added fuel to the fire: "According to my estimation, the snake's body diameter is about twenty meters."

Twenty meters? Wen Laimo could only laugh awkwardly twice. Why didn't you just say it was a snake six stories high? This is just a guess.

Another factor is the snake's size, which contributes to its powerful defense.

Wen Laimo and his team tried various methods to break through the mountain, but all their efforts failed.

Even if this mountain eventually comes to life, its defensive capabilities should be quite astonishing. It would be extremely difficult to break through the snake's body using telekinesis or weapons.

In the end, they could only conclude that they couldn't kill the snake on their own.

Wen Laimo was speechless. Now it seemed that his side only had the advantage of having more people. Otherwise, without knowing anything, they could have easily died in the snake's mouth.

Of course, Wen Laimo also understood that there was another reason why the Drunkard and his team still needed to cooperate: the Drunkard's team alone could not obtain the treasure. It could be said that joining forces was the only option for the two teams.

Everyone fell into deep thought. At present, they had only progressed to knowing where the treasure was and having a general understanding of the dangers. As for anything else, it was still of no use.

“If, I mean if, I could keep this snake asleep, wouldn’t that give me more time?” someone in Wen Laimo’s group said.

Fu Long and the others looked over and saw a short man wearing a tall green hat, looking just like a dwarf from a fairy tale.

However, everyone knows that this is just an illness. It is precisely because he cannot grow tall that he has such psychic power.

"You can share your thoughts."

"As I just mentioned, this snake sleeps during the day. If I could simulate the daytime environment and make it feel that it's in a state of hibernation, would that give it more time to explore?"

That's an idea. Nen abilities are indeed incredibly diverse. If the little man's idea could be put into practice, it might actually be useful.

"We can give it a try. If it works, we'll have a chance."

Time is the most important factor. If we can extend the time, and calculate how much longer it can be, then the exploration inside the snake's body will be more secure.

"I want two more points of the value," the dwarf said, holding up two fingers.

Fu Long looked at the drunkard and Wen Laimo; this was the matter they were considering.

"If it really works, there's no problem. After all, without this time, we simply can't go in to explore for treasure. This is the basic principle, and I hope everyone understands."

The drunkard spoke first and agreed. Wen Laimo naturally had no objections, since it was his side that wanted the money.

"No problem."

"No problem."

The others agreed as well.
