From Hunter x Hunter to Supreme Will

"Take a break."
Long said to the three people who were still in shock.
Afterwards, he picked up the body of a dead elf, pulled aside the hair at the back of its head, and examined it carefully.
It was discovered that the skull embedded in the back of the elf's head was not the result of some acquired ability, but was innate.
This little skull is their real brain.
And the power of rules also bursts out from the skull.
But now that I'm dead, that energy has disappeared...
"It's amazing... Although the rules are simple, the constraints and changes they impose are extremely strong, which is very similar to Alluka's ability, but not as complicated. The reason why it is not as powerful as Alluka is because the strength of the rules is proportional to the energy... Since it is a link in the food chain, then... how do they eat? Can they get some kind of compensation by assimilating humans into elves? Or is it a way to become stronger? Well... their lifespan is not short, and increasing the number of members is also a way to become stronger..."
"Why are you targeting humans?"
Long touched the elf's skull and applied a little force. The body that had been indestructible just now was suddenly crushed into pieces like tofu.
This elf...is not the advanced life form he imagined.
"Dark Continent... hehe... it's a bit interesting."
Chapter 251 Gabwich's Diary
The danger level in the oasis is simply incomparable to that in the desert.
In almost every area you go, there are strange creatures and environments.
Here, hunting between food chains is more closely linked.
After passing through the sea of flowers, they stepped into a "forbidden zone of life".
The so-called life restricted zone is because there are a lot of "ghost whistle grass balls" here. At first glance, they look like bushes, but these grass branches are extremely hard, like metal. Moreover, on the ground, the natural growth and arrangement are very strange. There are many small holes on the grass balls, and when the wind blows, other sounds can be heard.
This sound has a strong hypnotic effect. When a creature falls into a deep sleep, a strange insect hidden in the soil nearby will crawl out and devour the unconscious creature.
This grass ball seems to have a cooperative relationship with the strange insects. The latter are not affected by music. They only eat bones and flesh, and the blood shed from the corpses nourishes the grass ball.
Fortunately, the ability of the Ghost Whistle Grass Ball is also spiritual, which was restrained by Long, and the four of them passed through safely.
Going further, they finally saw a herd of animals active in the oasis.
These creatures are very similar to the life forms in the desert. There is no weirdness or rules involved. They are just huge in size and their appearance is close to the cognitive scope of humans. At least, I have seen them in the illustrations of the original work. They should be one of the more common and widely inhabited species in the Dark Continent.
There were dinosaurs with double horns, elephants in pairs with ears like cushions, and fanged seals that were more suitable to be found in the ocean... Long and his three companions heard the movement of the animals and came here. As soon as they appeared, they saw a seal biting a dinosaur tightly and swallowing it into its mouth bit by bit.
Seals are ten times the size of dinosaurs.
The dinosaur was chasing the elephants...
In the Dark Continent, the appearance of creatures and the environment they adapt to are unpredictable.
Human common sense is of no use here.
The four did not act rashly. Long observed quietly for a few hours and found that this area was the one with the most frequent biological activities in the oasis so far. This also meant that there were no life forms with extinction-level power like tree people, elves, grass balls, etc. This place was relatively safe.
Of course, the safety mentioned here does not include the bloody feast that is taking place, the truest side of the food chain.
The earth had been shaking non-stop, and all kinds of species showed up one after another, hunting the food they wanted to eat... The incessant roaring made Men Qi and the other two almost deaf, making it difficult for them to adapt.
Chaotic and intense.
Long observed for several hours and keenly discovered that no matter how much these life forms fought, they were deliberately avoiding a certain plant, as if they did not want to destroy it. It was a plant that twisted and turned like a vine, and could stand upright on the ground without any support. The vine also had leaves, and when some injured small creatures approached, the branches and leaves would actively secrete drops of nectar for the creatures to lick.
After consuming the liquid from the vine, the wounds on the organism's surface healed quickly.
For some smaller creatures, about the same size as humans, the leaves will automatically curl up and wrap them inside.
Just like a small house.
Wait until the battle nearby is over, then release the creatures hiding there.
"magic…"
Suddenly, I understood.
The Dark Continent has a unique environment. Although large organisms can hunt small organisms, small organisms can also use some advantages to avoid danger, such as using external objects. Every organism has its own way of survival. This vine seems to be a "rescue station" for the organisms in the oasis, which can save lives in critical moments. The special smell emitted by the vine itself seems unbearable for some large species.
Even after some vine branches and leaves have been occupied, the smaller species that follow will be very 'polite' to look for other unused 'rooms'.
"found it."
Hazy smiled.
This is simply the best 'sanctuary'.
First of all, there is no transcendent life force here, only chaos between predators and prey. Although it is still full of dangers, it is the best situation for the four of them. There are both large and small creatures, which can also serve as a natural trial ground for Men Qi and the other two to practice.
Secondly, the oasis is not smaller than the desert, but it is more difficult to travel... It took them more than half a year to get out of the desert, and it would probably take even longer to find this oasis.
He was fine, but Men Qi and the other two couldn't hold on.
Then, before Men Qi and the other two could react, they saw the captain suddenly fly into the air like an anti-aircraft gun, and using his terrifying bouncing ability, he joined the chaotic battlefield of the beasts.
In the beginning, no living creature cared about this tiny life form.
And when Long was released from the state of 'absolute', in an instant, all the creatures that were originally fighting and biting each other suddenly stopped their actions, and their eyes were focused on the inconspicuous black dot on the ground.
"It's just natural instinct..."
Hazy smiled.
The food chain in this area alone has its own unique balance, which has become the norm.
And when a more powerful life form suddenly appears and disrupts the food chain, all creatures in the chain will have one reaction, which is 'escape'!
Because... a new order needs to be established here.
boom!
The overwhelming black fog exploded and spread like a virus.
At this moment, the seal, which was as big as a mountain, roared with all its might, its voice full of fear, and it crawled and ran clumsily, even leaving behind half of the food it had eaten and the half of the dinosaur's corpse.
The elephants also scattered like birds, dispersing in all directions.
An enormous white centipede was desperately trying to break away from the soil and burrow underground.
Yet, everything is in vain.
Wherever the ghost fog passes, all life is lost.
As soon as the centipede stuck its head into the crack in the ground, black fog and ghosts submerged its body. When the fog dissipated, it was motionless and remained in this posture forever.
"The captain... is too strong. He evolves every day... and never stops."
This scene was undoubtedly extremely shocking to Anthony and the other two.
The rioting and disordered beasts filled the space between heaven and earth, demonstrating the tenacious vitality of things... The next second, it was as if someone had turned off the speaker, and there was a deathly silence. Those living lives, no matter how big or small, disappeared so quickly before my eyes...
“He belongs here.”
Men Qi added.
After such a long time, the three of them have become very familiar with Long's abilities.
As long as he absorbs souls, Long can become infinitely stronger.
After a while, the black fog disappeared and corpses were everywhere.
"It's safe now... Come out."
A faint laughter rang out in the hearts of the three people.
After a while, the four of them stood under the vines that were suspended in the air and growing in a straight line.
Looking up, this plant is as tall as a building.
Before Long and the other three could take any action, a vine with branches and leaves lowered itself, as if sensing Anthony's injuries, and rolled him up, wrapping him gently.
"take it easy."
Seeing his uneasy look, Long comforted him.
After just a few minutes, the branches and leaves drooped and stretched out again. Anthony, with an incredible look on his face, landed on the ground and looked at his broken arm.
The arm that was cut off by Men Qi grew back.
This scene made Menqi and Gabwich open their mouths wide.
"It seems that the power of the Dark Continent is not all malicious..."
Long confirmed his idea and said calmly: "Let's use this place as a base... You two should have a good rest, I'll be on guard outside."
As they were talking, new branches and leaves had already fallen, rolling towards Menqi and Gebuvich.
There was also a branch approaching Long, but he dodged it.
He doesn't seem to need medical attention...
Although the nearby life forms were temporarily killed, it did not mean absolute safety, because the area was large and other creatures could appear at any time. And, just like his arrival, the stability of this food chain was time-limited. Once a more powerful life form broke into it, it would become very troublesome.
"Captain...you..."
Gabwich, who had hardly spoken since the deaths of Fant and Rita, looked at Long, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
"It's okay... I'm fine."
I know what he's going to say.
The branches and leaves of this vine form a "small room". By hitting the leaves hard, the leaves will automatically expand and release the contents. If you don't hit them, you can stay inside. According to Anthony's description, the leaves will secrete a kind of juice that soaks and repairs the body, and the temperature inside the leaves is also suitable.
At the same time, a gas beneficial to life will be released.
"Healing ability. Its way of eating... is it eating up 'pain'... or, harvesting joy?" Long walked to the root of the vine, reached out to touch the plant, and guessed.
The soul vein of this vine gave him a warm and pure feeling.
……
In the Leaf Private Room, Gabwich woke up from the juice covering his body. It was very magical that even if a person was lying in the liquid, he could still breathe without any discomfort.
This was because a certain gas in the room was so dense that it could penetrate the juice and penetrate into the body.
