From Hunter x Hunter to Supreme Will

Long stared at the scarecrow and his heart sank.

Along the way, no matter what kind of life forms we encountered, none of them behaved in a way that was similar to that of humans.

This has become a custom or trend.

"There are definitely advanced life forms nearby!"

A chill ran down the soles of my feet.

His intuition reminded him that this scarecrow was extremely dangerous.

But seeing that the fruit on the flower is extraordinary, it would be a pity to give up like this.

Disasters are often proportional to hope.

The greater the danger, the greater the hope.

Long stepped over the scarecrow and reached out to pick the ruby-like fruit.

Suddenly, the straw man seemed to move, and Long looked over as if he had been electrocuted... Everything was normal, like an illusion.

He once again confirmed that the straw man had no soul and was just an empty shell.

Then with a bang, the scarecrow was smashed to pieces.

Then, he released ghost mist that swept over several flowers, devouring and absorbing the unformed souls in their bodies.

The unformed souls indicate that these flowers do not have sound, mature thinking or consciousness; they are simply vegetation with weak spiritual power.

With their vitality cut off, several flowers immediately tilted and fell down, and Long also successfully picked a few fruits.

Back up quickly.

"Captain, that's...Scarecrow..."

Anthony looked at the broken skins and bones on the ground in amazement.

"There's nothing to be surprised about. Humans migrated to the island in the lake from the Dark Continent, so it's normal for some kind of civilization to remain here. From the existing information, there is also a human city on this continent, but it seems to be empty, more like a ruins... Although the route we chose this time is the same as Dongfulis, it goes against the empty city. The life energy of the Dark Continent is too rich, so naturally some highly intelligent species will be born... This also shows that the humans in the past at least had some influence on this land." Long said lightly.

He spoke calmly.

In fact, the truth was not told.

I don’t want to upset Men Qi and the others.

He glanced at the damaged scarecrow again and had a bad feeling.

At his current life dimension, his intuition far exceeds that of a Psychic user... There must be a reason why the straw man makes him feel so dangerous.

curse?

Weird?

still is……

I thought to myself.

"Let's go first."

He held the fruit in his hand and gave orders hurriedly without taking a closer look.

Then, the four of them left together.

The two wolf rats were probably there a long time ago, but they did not try to take the fruit. One reason might be that fruit was not on their menu, although it was a kind of hope for humans.

But for the creatures of the Dark Continent, perhaps the value is not that high... However, Long would rather believe that the two monsters are afraid of the scarecrow.

It's obviously just a shelf.

"A symbol?"

Claiming territory?

As they walked away, Long was thinking.

If it is a curse... at least there will be energy. No matter what form of attack it is, even if it involves rules, it will not be effective without energy.

Before Alluka kills someone, he will reveal his true form, showing his "spiritual energy", or "soul appearance".

Her energy comes from her body.

Because of the rules, it becomes invisible.

Even if it is invisible energy, there are still traces to be found.

For example, twisting a living body into a dough stick, causing a person to explode and die, or spaceships in the sky scattering cash... these are all caused by "force" itself.

Long didn't sense any "energy" from the scarecrow, but that didn't mean there was no danger, because some kind of energy could pass through the rules and descend upon him at any time.

Just like Alluka's ability, twist him into a knot... this is the perversion of the rules.

But this is not the first time that Long has come into contact with the power of rules. In the past, he was already a player of the "rules of the game".

There are two types of counter-rules. The first is to follow the 'other party's rules' and find loopholes to destroy them.

Second, the energy itself exceeds the level that the opponent's rule power can control.

Energy is always the most fundamental driving force.

This is what happened when Oboro killed the elders of the Bozwa tribe.

The first method is no longer applicable to Long because he does not understand the rules of "potential danger" and has no intelligence.

All he could do was to fight back with his own strength at the moment when the energy driven by the rules arrived.

The power of rules can twist a person into a pretzel, but what if that person himself is as hard as steel?

The source of driving rules must pay a greater price!

Rules can be seen as a disguised form of control and constraint. Although they are bugs, they are not absolute.

The earliest rules of the game that Long understood were the same. Although one had to follow the rules of the game, if one's personal abilities were strong enough, one could ignore the drawbacks brought about by the rules... However, none of his opponents at the time could do that.

Because it’s too difficult…

The stronger the constraints and changes of the rules, the stronger the thing that needs to release the rules must be.

Otherwise, the effect will only be weakened.

Of course, the scarecrow doesn’t necessarily involve the rules…it could also be weird.

What is weird... is the companion that Kurapika was supposed to meet, Melody.

The dark sonata she had heard was most likely from the Dark Continent...

It is extremely harmful to the soul.

Zolbaic acid disease, one of the five major disasters, is also a typical example.

Long's soul ability also fits the weird characteristics.

But whether it is weird or extraordinary, there are signs of energy.

But the scarecrow didn't have one, so the only thing Long could think of was the rules... otherwise, his bad premonition would not have come out of nowhere.

Of course, his guess might be wrong.

The danger lies in other equations.

If it weren't for the rules, he could actually breathe a sigh of relief.

"Demon King..."

When thinking of the Dark Sonata, Long couldn't help but think of a life that most likely existed in the Dark Continent.

He doesn't have to take the fruit, he doesn't have to take the risk.

But Long knew very well that the rules... could not be avoided in this land.

He must... accept it sooner rather than later.

there is always a solution to a problem.

Chapter 248 Big Crisis

"Living fruit?"

Long picked up the freshly picked fruit and took a look at it.

I saw a row of hairy, wriggling little tentacles growing under the fruit.

Like some kind of animal, not a plant.

The tentacles of the fruit kept trying to pierce his skin and penetrate into his flesh, but because Long's skin was extremely hard, they failed.

"This... do you want to eat it?"

Anthony rolled his throat.

Long controlled his skin to become loose, allowing the tentacles of the fruit to penetrate and suck blood.

Men Qi and the other two saw this and said nothing.

Long is indeed more suitable for such dangerous actions than them.

The fruit seemed to be stuck to Long's arm, greedily sucking blood.

It looked like an external heart and began to beat.

"Hmm... As expected..."

Long felt it for a moment and whispered, "This fruit is not for eating. It can absorb nutrients from the blood to survive, and it can also secrete and transform nutrients and feed them back into the body."

"Nutrients?"

"Yes, it is the nutrition needed by the body. To put it simply, with this thing, you don't need to eat anymore... It is equivalent to a portable supply pack. The problem is, I don't know how long it can 'survive'. For the time being, there is no danger... It is a parasitic fruit." As he spoke, Long handed the other fruits to the three people one by one.

The three of them also hurriedly placed the fruit on a part of the body that would not affect their movements, allowing it to parasitize.

“So magical…”

Men Qi praised.

This value has undoubtedly reached the height of "hope".
