From Hunter x Hunter to Supreme Will

Half an hour later, Long, who was also seriously injured, put the unconscious Men Qi and the other two on the ground and looked up at the night sky: "Yes... we went too deep..."

Even if it was only more than half a month, he felt that... Netero, Bi Yangde and others might not have advanced to this extent. The more likely possibility was that they were just wandering around the coastline.

"sound."

Hazy murmured again.

Those insects are attracted by sounds, and they seem to be able to sense even the faintest sound source.

Extremely sensitive to sound frequencies.

Gabwich just whispered softly and the insect swarm rioted.

"It can be resolved..."

Long looked down at the half of his body that was burned and peeling, his brows furrowed.

If, at that time... he could have noticed it in advance, and asked everyone to shut up, or even stop their heartbeats for a short time, maybe... he could have escaped the disaster.

But now...it's too late to say anything.

His eyes flickered and he fell silent.

Chapter 246 The Hope That I Want

Men Qi and his companions were not in good condition either. The shock waves and high temperature from the explosion had caused their flesh and blood vitality to become sluggish.

At the moment of death, although Fant and Rita were blocking in front, the remaining three people instinctively burst out with all their mental power to defend themselves.

The journey out of the desert was temporarily interrupted. Long built a temporary house with stones to temporarily help the three people relieve their injuries.

During this period, he also had to hunt nearby and could not be too far away, and always pay attention to the vital signs of the three people.

A few days later, Menqi woke up first.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Long sitting aside, preparing food that smelled of blood.

And on the half of her face facing the side, there was a shocking scar, a burn scar.

"Don't talk...have a good rest." Long said calmly.

Men Qi's mouth was dry and his body was exhausted. He didn't say a word when he heard this.

She first felt her own condition, then rolled her eyes and glanced to the side.

Saw Gabwich and Anthony...as for Fant and Rita...they were gone.

In an instant, Men Qi's eyes turned red and tears flowed.

What she understood...

"Before coming here, everyone had already had this awareness... So, for this result, all we can do is accept it calmly." Long sensed Men Qi's emotions and did not comfort him. He just said: "Their death also warns us who survived to always pay attention to the dangers hidden in the dark."

"They are our partners and our saviors..."

After he finished speaking, Men Qi turned his head away, his neck twitching slightly.

Half a day later, Anthony also woke up.

His reaction was similar to Men Qi's, but emotionally more intense. However, his weak body prevented him from doing any exercise, even speaking loudly... In the end, he could only burst into tears, with an expression of agony.

Even though I prepared myself mentally, it was still hard to accept when it happened.

The main reason is that it happened too suddenly...there wasn't even a buffer period.

"I'm sorry...it's...I...it's all...I..."

After Gabwich opened his eyes, he fell into deep self-blame.

If he hadn't made a sound, perhaps the insects wouldn't have gathered around.

"That kind of extreme fire temperature can even affect the soul... So, I didn't have time to collect their souls." Long sent water and food to his teammates one after another, and said in a deep voice, "Don't let their lives be paid in vain, live well..."

"..."

Silent all night.

The next day, Men Qi, whose body had not yet recovered, forced herself to get up. In her words, if she couldn't even overcome this little difficulty in the Dark Continent, she might as well die. She didn't want to become a burden to the team and hold them back.

Her eyes...changed.

Not only her... even Anthony and Gabwich seemed to have different temperaments.

The deaths of Fant and Rita were too much for the three of them.

Then, Gabwich and Anthony divided the work as usual.

Dragging a tired body to work.

Long did not stop them forcibly because this was a way for them to release their pain.

Anthony cut off his cherished long hair, leaving a short haircut that resembled Fant.

As for Gabwich...he became silent and unwilling to speak.

Less than a month after entering the Dark Continent, the team was dealt a heavy blow.

In some crises, even with the presence of Halo, it is difficult to ensure the safety of everyone.

Just like that, the team of six became a team of four and continued to move forward.

Time passed little by little.

Although their strength has not improved much, the change in their mentality and the adaptation to this continent have allowed Men Qi and the other two to maintain a certain level of stability when facing all kinds of strange creatures, and no longer be cowardly or panic.

Daily actions are also more disciplined.

Overcoming the psychological shadow, after finding the prey, Long will consciously control the battlefield and let the three people participate under the premise of ensuring safety. The main purpose is to hone them and increase their chances of survival.

Their team's way of survival is very simple... at least temporarily, they will never come into contact with supernatural powers, weirdness and rules. Once they find something wrong, they will escape immediately.

Only hunt or attack creatures that have been collected with detailed information and intelligence.

Or you have to know the target's "capabilities" thoroughly.

After walking in the desert for half a year, they finally saw an oasis.

But everyone's expression was not happy, but rather cautious.

The emergence of new areas may herald a new food chain, a new ecological environment, and more unfamiliar species... The current team has gained a certain understanding of the Dark Continent.

The environment trains people... Although humans are weak, their ability to adapt is outstanding.

With certain experience and tempering in fighting monsters, although the abilities of Men Qi and the other two were not improved as greatly as those achieved by absorbing souls... compared to the beginning, they had already made a qualitative leap.

This increase is across the board.

Over a period of half a year, Long killed hundreds of monsters and absorbed souls.

This finally caused a slight change to appear on his panel.

The position in the food chain is still at the bottom.

But the ecological score has changed from 25 to 27.

It increased by 2 points...at least it increased.

The reason for the growth should be related to his understanding of the environment of this continent and finding ways to integrate into it.

"Earth Devourer."

On the way to the oasis, Men Qi, who was walking on the side without any reminder, suddenly said expressionlessly.

As he finished speaking, the sand near them suddenly collapsed, and all the yellow sand poured into the ground like a sea current. Long stood still, while Men Qi, holding a knife in both hands, immediately followed the sand flow and fell into the dark and deep cave underground. In the light, he could already see a gaping, bloody mouth that was looking forward.

Crawling underground was a milky white worm without eyes or any other organs. This worm identified food by smell and was not very big, only a few dozen meters long. This was already considered a small life form in the Dark Continent... and the worms usually hunted creatures with relatively weak life energy, otherwise they would not have targeted Long and the other humans.

For large life forms, they are not big enough to fill the gaps between their teeth, and most of them will be ignored like the mice and strange birds that Long encountered at the beginning.

After Menqi jumped into the sand pit on his own initiative, Gabwich and Anthony also stepped into the yellow sand vortex one after another.

Then, not long after, Long heard the roar of the earth-eating insects... The sand tide stopped flowing, but the surface of the ground continued to tremble. It was obvious that the insects underground were attacked by humans and were resisting in some way.

In the desert, they temporarily gave a name to every creature they hunted or encountered.

Generally, the sand and gravel where geophagous insects hide are relatively loose and the geology is softer. This slight change could not be noticed by the vigilance of Men Qi and the other two before, but now, there is no need for Long to remind them, as the three of them can deal with it well.

This… is growth.

After a while, a small bulge appeared on the sand, and three people covered in mucus crawled out from the ground one after another.

The battle is over.

Of course, at present, the three of them can barely hunt some small life forms together, provided that... the danger is not that high.

For some large ones, we still have to rely on Long.

Apart from anything else, in this harsh living environment, the maintenance and consumption of mental power for a long time is invisibly polishing the life energy of the three people.

Seeing the oasis, Long had already determined the location of himself and others.

Just on the far left of the 'map', if you go further ahead and cross the oasis, you should see a group of 'thatched houses' of varying sizes.

Stepping onto the oasis, the heat in the air subsided a lot, and there was even a gentle breeze blowing.

But the lush vegetation in front of him, no matter which kind, would be dozens or even hundreds of times larger if placed in the human world... Although it is not as exaggerated as the world tree due to the difference in plant families, it is also very amazing.

For this continent, the oasis in front of us should be a green meadow.

But the four of them, Long and his companions, were like insects, moving around in the shadows of the towering branches and leaves.

Soon after entering the oasis, Long heard a buzzing sound, and then saw several giant crustaceans flying down to the leaves above their heads, looking down at the four black dots hiding under the branches. In front and behind, more than a dozen... Long's team was surrounded.

But there was no panic.

Long just glanced at the bugs, and the next second, he waved his hands away.

All the surrounding plants were cut in half, and some were even broken into pieces... As for the insects resting on the leaves, before they could launch an attack, their bodies made a crisp sound and burst into pieces of juice that poured down on their heads.

Men Qi and the other two dodged quickly, not daring to touch the liquid. Who knows if it is poisonous?

As a species that has absorbed so many souls and possesses enormous energy, what Long has gained in the past six months has far exceeded what he gained in the human world in a few years... Even though the system panel has changed and no longer displays specific values, it has only increased by two points. His telepathic ability has always been there, which means that his improvement has never stopped.

Whether it is the attack distance, magic power, armor... or the transformation brought to the body after the attributes are improved.
