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

After being a little slow, many people realized something was wrong and followed the group in front to escape.

Only those with the weakest strength who couldn't find any problems had time to escape.

In an instant, a small dot appeared from under people's feet, and then expanded outward at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, a huge vortex of quicksand was formed!

The area is so large that it covers nearly one-third of the contestants!

This is because some people escaped in advance, otherwise more people would be affected.

Seeing that they were about to fall into it, people gathered their energy at their feet and jumped out quickly.

But the crisis goes far beyond this quicksand...

"Roar!"

A huge figure suddenly emerged from the quicksand. Its size blocked out a large area of ​​sunlight, making many people's already gloomy faces even darker.

It looked like some kind of insect, but it was abnormally large.

There is a ferocious face on the head with three scarlet eyes.

Apart from the head, it has a fat body with dark holes and six limbs.

The overwhelming figure and momentum made many people lose their spirit and look timid.

"Giant ant lions are rare creatures across the six continents, usually lurking deep in the desert."

Menqi stared at the huge creature, her voice trembling slightly.

I didn't expect to be attacked by such a heavyweight creature as soon as I came in!

"Can it be eaten?"

Link was more concerned about whether it had edible value.

"Hmm...it doesn't taste good."

Meng Qi hesitated slightly and spoke slowly.

"Is that so... Looks like it's only worth hunting!"

Link's figure flashed and he disappeared from the back of the wind speed dog in an instant, leaving behind Menqi with a confused look on her face.

Recalling what Link had just said, Meng Qi quickly looked at the giant ant lion that was galloping, her clear eyes filled with disbelief.

Sure enough, Link suddenly appeared above the giant ant lion and fell down at an extremely fast speed, making bursts of breaking air sounds.

The next second, an extremely terrifying aura rose into the sky! !

The first to feel it were the giant ant lions, and then everyone in the desert.

"That...that is!"

An invisible aura enveloped all living things!

Countless people were frightened by this breath and were unable to move for a moment. They could only look at the figure in the sky in panic.

"Is that Link?"

Ge'er looked up at the sky, and his sharp eyes were able to see Link clearly, with a look of shock in his eyes.

Could there be such astonishing strength? !

Just from this aura, Ge'er was certain that Link was definitely the best in the world.

even……

Even President Netero doesn't have such an aura that makes people feel like they are falling into an icy cellar!

The huge amount of mental energy was so dazzling that it made her eyes a little uncomfortable, and she could only squint her eyes to look at Link.

Looking at the giant ant lion under him, Link showed a crazy look.

In the desert, the desert tyrant should come!

Faintly, the shadow of a giant steel beast emitting a tyrannical aura appeared behind Link, as if roaring at the sky!

Endless orange-red energy attached to Link's right hand and suddenly hit the giant ant lion's head.

Fighting Skills——Brute Force!!

"boom!!!"

The giant ant lion looked like it was hit by a meteorite, and its head quickly collapsed inward, making its already ferocious face even more terrifying.

After a pause, the whole body fell down madly under the impact.

The fat body caused ripples like a compressed spring.

The giant ant lion, which had just come out, was knocked back half of its body by this punch.

Killed with one strike, without a sound!

Even the whole body was compressed in half, like a powder barrel that could explode at any time.

The huge shock wave also affected the people on the ground, and the strong wind pressure raised countless dust.

Then waves of sandstorms formed and swept outward.

At the same time, it blew them far away and they fell directly into the sand.

The people, their faces covered in yellow sand, didn't care too much and hurriedly crawled away into the distance.

That thing is going to explode!

"boom!"

A huge explosion resounded through the sky, and then countless smelly blood and broken limbs flew outwards.

In an instant, many people who didn't have time to dodge were "hit", with strange blood and flesh hanging on their bodies.

As for Link, he teleported back to Arcanine's back right after throwing that punch.

"you……"

Mengqi stared at Link in amazement, unable to speak as if she was stuttering.

Link was calculating the experience brought by the giant ant lion, which was almost in the A range.

It's not bad, but it's a shame there's nothing special about it, otherwise it would be a better value.

……

Gourmet Paradise,

In an office on the top floor of the administrative building.

Lin Nie suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashed across his cloudy eyes, and he slowly turned his head to look towards the desert area.

Such a strong breath!

She hasn't felt this way in a long time!

Stronger than my previous self!

Even...similar to Netero when he was young!

She regularly checks the creatures in the Gourmet Paradise and definitely does not see any creatures with such strength.

It can only be this contestant!

Suddenly, a figure appeared in her mind...

Although it is a little hard to believe, this is the only possibility!

"Has it reached that point?!"

……

Ge'er looked at Link from afar, her beautiful eyes showing a strange look, mainly of shock.

She didn't expect Link to be so powerful!

There's a huge difference between defeating a giant ant lion and crushing it!

The other contestants also looked at Link with expressions of shock or fear.

What Link didn't know was that his casual attack caused fear in countless people.

My image is also deeply imprinted in their hearts.

……

As Arcanine continued to run wildly, the two found their first target.

Rose rock salt!

This is an extremely rare seasoning in the desert and is known as the "Queen of Salt".

Its fame is on the same level as the red volcanic rock that Link obtained from Fang Jila before.

From the outside, it is just a bright red rock, but its shape is very strange.

It looks like a rose, and with its bright red color, it looks like a red rose blooming in the desert.

Mengqi carefully scraped a little salt from the center of the rose rock and gently placed it in the small bottle.

Rose rock salt is also scarce, and there is only a little bit on the side wall at the center of the rose rock.

Not to mention that rose rocks are already scarce.

The appearance is also somewhat different from the Kira Red Volcanic Rock. In comparison, this one is smaller and looks more delicate overall.

This is the seasoning that Mengqi prepared for her subsequent cooking!

Because the ingredients, seasonings, etc. for the delicious food you cook must all come from the food area.

So Mengqi deliberately made a list, recording the things he needed to obtain in the next few days.

The rose rock salt from the desert area is the first one!

The types of food that Menqi will prepare are roughly divided into five categories: appetizers, main dishes, salads, desserts, and drinks (soup).

Link dabbed a small amount and sipped it, a smooth salty taste soaking his mouth.

This rose rock salt is softer and smoother than Kira red volcanic rock salt, which has a rougher and more intense taste.

After searching for several rose rocks, Mengqi finally gathered the required amount.

And according to estimates, there will be some extra for the two to use in the future.

After all, there are very few rose rocks.

They can only enter this food area once a year, so they naturally have to seize the opportunity and search for more rare ingredients from the outside world.

After looting the rose salt, the two rode Arcanine again to the next area.

The desert area is relatively barren and the food available is of low quality, so Menqi only got salt here.

Other ingredients still need to be obtained in the later terrain.

Before long, they came into view patches of lush green forests, which formed a stark contrast to the bare desert next to them.

In fact, there are five types of terrain in this food area, because there is a small grassland transition at the intersection of the terrain.

Of course, compared to other terrains, this grassland is too small to be worth mentioning.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Wind Speed ​​Dog's chubby paw pads made crisp sounds as they stepped on the light grass.

Then he dived into the woods.

The sudden movement attracted the attention of many creatures, big and small, all looking over.

“What kinds of food are there in the forest?”

Link glanced at the animals here and saw that there were quite a variety of species.

After just a short while in the forest, we saw animals like wild boars, rabbits, and elk.

Fortunately, Arcanine can control "Intimidation", otherwise it would have run away long ago.

"The Colorful Fruit and the Gem Mammoth."

“The former is used as dessert, and the latter is the main course.”
