From Hunter x Hunter to Supreme Will

But unfortunately, it is still not what they want.

However, it also solved their urgent problem. At least they didn't have to eat raw meat for the next period of time.

"There should be some kind of life form nearby, a rather special kind." Long reminded again.

"Is it the scarecrow?"

Men Qi answered.

"Well... From the information, there are advanced intelligent life forms in the Dark Continent. This was once the territory inhabited by humans and monsters. The human ancestors who escaped to the island in the lake back then might be only a part of them. There should be some who stayed behind... The so-called gatekeepers are also sub-humans who can negotiate with humans. Without their permission, humans cannot truly enter the Dark Continent." Long explained as he glanced around.

"But our routes are different. If we go in from this side, will we also encounter gatekeepers?"

Anthony frowned.

"Most likely..."

In fact, Long has always had an idea in his mind, but he didn't say it.

Men Qi and the other two looked at each other.

If the captain's guess is correct, then it means that there is an unimaginable wall, located in a circle on this continent. Moreover, if humans have some kind of greed or some other desires, it seems that... they are not qualified to pass the gatekeeper and are not worthy of entering.

"Ok?"

After a while, Long stopped.

Another 'hope' appeared in front of them.

There were pools of water one after another, the difference was that the water was dark red and erupted from the ground, boiling like magma, but not as thick as magma. In the center of each water source, there were pure white flowers growing.

But the area was still filled with scarecrows, and this time there were a lot of them.

“This is an oasis…”

Men Qi's voice became serious. Not only were the life forms in the Dark Continent strange, but the environment was also quite weird.

Could it be that there is a hidden volcano beneath their feet?

But that's simply not possible...

"It seems that the further we go in, the fewer monsters we encounter." Anthony also echoed.

"A single one doesn't mean anything, but if there are so many... it means there is some kind of creature nearby, it must be gregarious, and there are quite a few of them, and we have stepped into their territory." Men Qi was a little nervous.

Instead, Long heaved a sigh of relief.

More scarecrows appeared, indicating that it was not energy from the rule system... just some kind of warning.

At least within the oasis area, other organisms in the food chain have reached a consensus.

Seeing this scarecrow is like seeing the real thing, so one has to avoid it.

It is the nature of cats and dogs to urinate and leave behind odors when patrolling their territory.

The fact that they have such a deterrent power indicates that this group of species must be one of the dominant species in the oasis.

"It seems... the marks and influences left by humans on the Dark Continent in the past are quite significant. Even after so long, some things are still engraved into the genes. Even after long years of reproduction and alternation, they still cannot be forgotten." After Long finished speaking, he stepped forward.

When he reached the water source, under the nervous gaze of Men Qi and the other two, he put his hand into the boiling water which seemed to be at an extremely high temperature.

Then, as the arm was raised, sticky water dripped and slid down the arm.

Exudes a unique aroma.

"Honey?"

Long stuck out his tongue and took a taste.

The taste and flavor are very similar to honey...

The next second, Long suddenly stood up and smiled.

He turned to look at Men Qi and the other two, "Found it!"

'Hope' has a similar effect to longevity rice!

After this liquid entered the stomach, it was easily absorbed. Long felt the changes in his flesh and blood after tasting just a little bit.

His blood energy has improved a little, although not obvious, but it has increased significantly, and his spirit seems to have become more uplifted.

"Increases physical strength, eliminates fatigue, and restores condition...If you take it for a long time, it can also improve your physical strength!"

Long analyzed.

This effect is tantamount to increasing lifespan in disguise!

clap clap clap...

Then, suddenly, the nearby scarecrows fell down one after another without any warning.

Men Qi and the other two looked at Long, his face pale and his pupils terrified.

It was as if something terrible appeared behind him.

Long instantly became highly alert and entered combat mode.

His perception was unable to fully detect danger on this continent... after all, the range was limited.

And many species can suddenly appear from extremely far away.

For example, the three-headed bird covered in carrion in the desert...

Behind Long, something broke out of the ground. It was a rhizome.

At first there was only one line, but it suddenly increased in size and became as messy and dense as a ball of thread, growing out of thin air.

In just a few seconds, it grew into a towering tree, over a hundred meters high, and its huge crown formed a shadow that covered the sky.

What’s strange is that this tree has human-like arms, no branches, and only a hat-like crown on its head.

Moreover, in the center of the trunk, the wrinkles of the bark form facial features similar to those of humans.

The tree man standing tall!

Around the ground, waves of earth were surging, and tree men grew out of the ground one after another, making the relatively flat terrain the previous moment suddenly become like a sea of ​​forests.

The "eyes" of all the tree people were looking down at Long who had just eaten the "forbidden fruit".

This tiny life form.

"So that's how it is... They are all very deep underground, no wonder we couldn't detect them..."

Hazy murmur.

Ghost mist burst out from his body and his expression was cold.

The surging black mist did not dissipate, but spirits walked out of the mist one after another.

There are the Ant King Meruem, the cat girl Neferpitou, Netero, Biond, etc., all of whom are souls that he had absorbed before. Each spirit leads a large number of ghosts, like several armies.

Big crisis!

There are dozens of these tree people, and the life energy of each one is terrifying...

In the desert, they hunted monsters, mostly one by one, and never fought against groups of creatures.

Let alone a group of them, even if there was only one, it would be more than Men Qi and his two companions could handle.

Must take action...

He's getting serious.

"Spiritual Vision."

As Long spoke, his eyes fixed.

The world in his field of vision suddenly changed, and in his eyes, all real objects disappeared.

All that remains is soul matter.

At the same time, a ball of dark green flame burned his face, revealing a mask.

It was the appearance of Thresh.

Just as he finished doing this, huge tree roots that covered the sky and the sun swept towards him from the air.

Chapter 249: Differences in Life Systems

Long's figure shuttled between the huge tree roots, then flew up, and in an instant came to the "face" of a tree man, and the arm burning with ghost fire pierced into the trunk.

Just this one strike was enough to disperse and absorb the tree man's soul.

The tree man also withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

On the other side, countless ghosts, led by Meruem and other spirits, also launched a massive attack on the tree people.

The attack methods of the ant king, cat woman and others are very similar to those of Oboro. They do not need to drill into the body of the creature to devour the soul. Just pure external moves can cause great damage to the tree man. And the small evil spirits, as usual, continue to rush into the body of the creature and share the soul fire in the body.

These tree people are like the monsters in the desert before. Although their life energy is very huge, their spiritual will is relatively weak, so the fire of their soul does not burn fiercely, let alone resist the attack of "soul erosion".

It’s just that there are too many of them, and it’s very troublesome to deal with them.

In addition, Men Qi and his companions are not as strong as Long after all, so Long must fight quickly to avoid the three of them being affected.

Fortunately, as soon as the battle started, the two spirits of Netero and Yupi floated in front of the three people with the black mist and attacked the nearby tree people.

On the earth, one towering tree after another withered.

Long flew back and forth between the giant trees, while sensing the situation of Men Qi and the other two. Although the strength of the three had improved a lot, the tree roots that could almost smash through skyscrapers kept falling down, and it was still difficult for the three to avoid them with their speed.

There are too many of them, so the attack frequency is also very fast.

Moreover, the area covered by the tree roots was so large that they had no place to stand.

Men Qi lay on a tree root as wide as the road, and with the help of the sharp knife in his hand, he inserted it into the branches and barely maintained his figure.

However, I was spinning wildly in the air along with the shaking tree roots, and I might be thrown off at any time.

Once she fell to the ground, the other tree roots from all around could kill her in an instant.

She held the hilt of the knife tightly with both hands and could no longer see the direction of Gabwich and Anthony... She tried hard to support herself from falling from the tree roots, but it was already her limit!

Everything happened extremely fast.
