Hunter x Hunter: Pokémon Master, the World's Strongest

The purple forest was filled with a terrifyingly poisonous color, and it seemed that if you looked at it for a few more seconds, you would have the illusion of being poisoned.

However, this does not mean that the swamp is any more normal.

In fact, apart from the relatively normal color of the swamp, everything else made everyone feel depressed.

There was some lush grass on the ground, making it difficult to see what was inside.

At the same time, there are huge trees growing on the ground, and these trees are extremely large.

Even the purple forest is not much behind.

At the same time, the crowns of these trees are larger, the leaf layers are thicker, and the leaves are denser.

It is precisely because of this that there is rarely any sunlight that can penetrate the dense shade of the trees. At a glance, the deep woods are dark.

From time to time, a light breeze blew through the treetops, disturbing the shade of the trees, as if many ghosts were floating in them.

And above these trees there was inexplicably a series of cumulonimbus clouds, and the dark clouds were continuously pouring down rain.

The rain passes through the shade of the trees and then falls to the ground, providing abundant rain for this large forest.

This place is equivalent to a rain forest.

The scene before me was filled with gloomy dark tones, with dark clouds in the sky and dim light among the trees...

If it weren't for the green leaves and grass, the place would be filled with a truly terrifying dark hue.

Even so, people still know that there is something fishy going on here. The more bizarre the place, the more likely it is that unexpected dangers will occur!

Link withdrew his gaze and walked forward silently, and the people behind him followed him.

Everyone in this team is extraordinary and knows exactly what to do in this kind of environment, or in the Dark Continent.

Always be vigilant!

This is the most important thing!

As Link stepped onto the soft grass, a new gestation bar appeared in his mind out of thin air.

[A new fertility line? ]

Link's expression changed slightly, but his steps continued as he led everyone into the rainforest.

He wasn't surprised that Pokémon were bred here, but he was surprised that there was only one new breeding bar.

Although it is rare for two gestation bars to appear at the same time, since he set foot on the Dark Continent, two of them have appeared at the same time.

Link was a little uncomfortable and surprised to suddenly turn into a gestation bar.

But it would be great to have one. The Dark Continent is so vast that there are plenty of opportunities for him to breed Pokémon.

So Link didn't feel much pity.

As for the Pokémon bred this time...

Glancing at the woods and grass around him, and thinking about the swamp that would appear further down, Link figured it should be a Grass-type or Ground-type.

Needless to say, this place is a large forest, so it is normal to breed grass-type Pokémon.

The reason why he guessed it was the ground type was because Link felt that the swamp was also a relatively iconic type of terrain here.

So, will it be a Pokémon like Venusaur, Miracle, Swampert, or Swampert?

Link thought about it and felt that he couldn't be completely sure. It might be related to the creatures here.

For example, there is the Hellbell Twin-Tailed Snake that you have to face before obtaining Nitolome.

If there were some snake Pokémon, or some Pokémon related to sound, it would make sense.

For example, Arbok, Snake, or Sonic?

……

It was surprisingly quiet in the rainforest.

Apart from the sound of the falling rain, it seemed that no other sound could be heard.

It seemed as if they were the only ones alive in the world, and all other creatures had disappeared.

The danger also disappeared, which allowed them to enter without encountering any crisis.

However, in the dark continent, when you feel safe, you are in danger.

As everyone walked in silence, a burst of rain suddenly fell from the shade of the trees above.

This rainwater is different from other rainwater, as it contains certain substances from the trees.

A small green seed was wrapped in turbid rainwater, quietly waiting for the moment to fall on an object.

At this moment, these raindrops mixed with other raindrops and dripped down, and finally a few drops fell on people's bodies.

At first, no one reacted. After all, there was so much rain that it was not surprising at all.

Not to mention that they were wearing safety suits and didn't feel the rain at all when it fell on them.

They just need to keep moving forward and pay attention to whether there are any creatures around that might suddenly attack them.

But the rain that they were accustomed to has now become a terrible crisis.

Muhru's face froze, and he felt his right shoulder suddenly sink, as if an iron box was placed on it, and he quickly turned his head away.

I saw that the right shoulder, which was originally covered with rainwater, was now covered with many roots, as if they wanted to take root in his shoulder.

The roots continued to grow in an instant, and suddenly grew into a flower-shaped plant with a flower bud as big as a basketball on top.

The larger flower buds are bulging. I don’t know what’s inside, but it gives people a very scary feeling.

Immediately, the flower bud above suddenly opened and spread out into five petals, which were covered with dense fangs, which was extremely terrifying.

These fangs are extremely regular, as if they were inserted one by one, and arranged in circles from the outside to the inside.

The white fangs were faintly cold and murderous.

If someone with trypophobia saw this terrifying scene, they would most likely faint on the spot.

As the flower bud opens, streams of yellow smoke-like gas similar to pollen emerge.

Although Muhru didn't know what the gases were for, he knew one thing.

Never touch

The sunflower-like carnivorous plant quickly opened its mouth, and its five petals surrounded and bit towards Muhlu's head.

This action is very similar to the scene in "Parasyte" where the parasite's head splits and then eats the human brain.

It was not only Muhlu who encountered this danger on the field. Several other people also encountered the same situation at the same time.

This series of changes came so quickly that everyone was caught off guard.

Since the danger was caused by the seeds on the tree, even Mi Lu, who was in charge of vigilance, could not discover it in time.

Muhlu's pupils shrank as he watched the carnivorous plant with the intention of biting off his head, and his adrenaline surged wildly.

He knew the safety suits had a protective effect, but he couldn't gamble.

They had never seen such creatures before, so they had no idea what kind of attack they could cause.

Therefore, we cannot pin our hopes on safety suits to protect him completely, but we should try our best to resist in time.

Suddenly, the Mind Qi in Muhlu's body gushed out in a very short time, exerting a powerful [Refining]

Then an extremely sharp long knife appeared in his hand. He gripped it with his backhand and chopped straight at the extremely ferocious carnivorous plant.

Several silver lights suddenly appeared.

Before the five petals of the Piranha Plant were bitten off, three tiny knife marks appeared on its root, stem and flower.

The next moment, the body of the carnivorous plant suddenly collapsed, broke into several sections and fell to the ground, covered in the grass.

Especially the largest flower, most of the area was chopped into powder by Muhru.

The chopped body oozed a lot of dark green juice, corroding all the grass it touched.

It turned into wisps of white smoke rising up.

Seeing that the roots remaining on his shoulders were still showing signs of growing, Muhru quickly pulled out the remaining roots.

Then he held it in his palm covered with [hardness], and suddenly clenched it tightly, crushing it into pieces.

Muhlu let out a sigh, and a sudden fear in his heart suddenly made him relax a little.

The situation was extremely urgent just now. If he had been a little slower, he would have been in danger of being beheaded.

This swift counterattack was achieved based on the rapid consumption of mental energy.

Even though he reacted quickly and even swung out three swords at once, it took him a lot of energy.

After all, it was a hasty counterattack.

Link on the other side took in the entire scene and glanced at Jin who was walking beside him.

Jin casually pulled out the Piranha Plant from the head of a member of the stone wall, and held the Piranha Plant tightly with his hands to prevent it from moving.

Coming to Link's side, Jin still stared at the Piranha Plant and said, "This creature is very dangerous."

As a hunter dabbling in biological fields, Jin knew very well what this carnivorous plant meant.

Jin looked up at the shade of the trees above. Countless raindrops were still pouring down, and he didn't know when the rain would stop.

"These piranhas grow from seeds to this at an extremely fast speed."

"As for the source of the seeds, it's the shade of the tree above us. Because it's not big to begin with, and with the interference of rain, it's difficult to find."

Jin said solemnly, "This kind of man-eating plant not only grows extremely fast, but it can even grow without any nutrients."

Jin saw clearly that although these carnivorous plants had extended their roots, they only pierced the surface of the safety suit and could not penetrate the human body.

"Even if they landed on a safety suit, they could still retain this vitality. This shows how high their inherent nutrients are."

Glancing at the others who were pulling out the remaining roots, Jin continued, "Without safety suits, it would be a lot more troublesome."

"The security suit's defense is very high, and normal attacks have little effect on it. However, these seeds can take root on the surface."

"If you're not wearing safety gear, like ordinary clothes, then there's a high chance the seeds will grow inside your flesh."

"Then we can use the energy within the organism as nutrients. Not only will it grow faster, but we might even be able to revive it again and again."

“That would be very tricky to handle.”

"Every time you chop down a Piranha Plant, it will plunder more nutrients from the organism. After a few times, the organism itself will be unable to bear the consumption."

The others also heard Jin's explanation, and their faces became even gloomier. They were unwilling to get involved with this kind of thing.

Especially those who had just been parasitized by the carnivorous plant, they checked their bodies several times.

Afraid that there will be lost roots or seeds.

Bi Yangde also came over and said in a heavy tone: "And more importantly, we don't have any way to deal with it."

"The whole forest is full of these trees, which means there will be countless seeds."

"Even if you block them with something, they can still take root and sprout with their own nutrients. They are very difficult to deal with."

If they want to obtain Nitolomi, they have to go deeper and deeper, which means they have to face the threat posed by the seeds.

The best solution at present is to use something like an umbrella to block the rain. Even if there are seeds, they will only grow on the umbrella.

Not only is it easier to deal with, but you can also abandon the umbrella and run away when you are defeated.

Upon hearing this, Meow Meow quickly said, "If it's an umbrella, Meow Meow has one here, and it works better, Meow."

It previously developed a special umbrella, originally intended to be used to look cool in certain situations.

I didn't expect it to come in handy now.

【Slippery Umbrella】: It looks like an ordinary umbrella, but rain cannot touch the umbrella at all.

When the rain falls, the surface of the umbrella will isolate it, and then the rain will fall to the ground along its trajectory.

It created this umbrella simply because it thought it was fun to hold an umbrella that is protected from rain.

As they were talking, a pitch-black "ocean" deep in the forest was rushing outward at an extremely fast speed.

Wherever these "black oceans" swept through, there was no life, even the tiny green grass disappeared.

The direction they were heading to was exactly where Link and the others were.
