Life at Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 456 Landing on the Dark Continent

Muzan naturally noticed that a ghost was "captured" and wanted to kill it, but unfortunately he failed.

From him, I learned about some changes in Gui.

Ghosts can gather together and act, which has been clearly discovered through contact in recent years.

Of course, this ghost named Ida Temple cannot come into contact with Muzan.

But he has come into contact with the other Twelve Demon Moons.

An important piece of information obtained from him is that there will be communication between the Twelve Ghost Moons, but they are divided into two echelons.

One is an upper-rank demon, and the other is a lower-rank demon.

Ghosts would also have tentative battles to test their strength, but it was not as intense as a position-switch battle.

At the same time, the subordinates of the lower-rank demons will also compete with each other.

The Demon Slayer Corps obtained the locations of Lower Moon Five and Four.

As the Demon Slayer Corps guessed, there are demons with spatial abilities among the Twelve Kizuki's subordinates, and their own blood demon arts are developing in the direction of not being afraid of sunlight.

The Twelve Demon Moons are becoming increasingly difficult to kill.

Of course, in addition to this, another important information is that the Twelve Demon Moons can also create ghosts, and Muzan has released this authority.

However, one cannot create subordinates recklessly. First of all, ghost blood is not ordinary ghost blood. It must at least reach the level of "essence".

It will affect the strength of ghosts to a certain extent. There are two problems with mass production. One is naturally the strength factor, and the other is not everyone can become a ghost.

Therefore, Xiaxian Lu does not have as many subordinates as imagined.

At least the lower-rank demons are afraid that their strength will decline and their positions among the Twelve Demon Moons will be taken away.

After revealing this important information, the ghost was killed. After all, he also ate people, although they were all bad people.

Next is the information about the Killing Stone.

I have more questions and want to ask this shrine maiden named Yakushi, maybe I can learn about the origin of monsters.

Of course Lucci wouldn't tell them the truth.

"The Killing Stone is a crystal of demonic energy to be exact, and it doesn't necessarily come from that XXX."

"It doesn't necessarily come from Tamamonomae?" Ubuyashiki asked.

Sometimes if you can't hear clearly, you can express it in other ways.

Of course he was also wondering why he could say the name while the other party couldn't.

Then he started asking various questions, and I tried to answer as many as I could to complete my "world view".

The shrine maiden first proposed a "theory of multiple worlds", which is not difficult to understand, because hell and Huangquan are also mentioned, and there is also Takama-ga-hara in Neon.

These beings are not allowed to enter the human world.

But there will always be some alien beings born in this world, affecting this world. Some of these alien beings are eliminated, while others are isolated from the world.

For Lucci, it is a common "Spiritual Revival" setting, but for the people in this world, it is a new feeling.

Especially the mastery of spiritual power.

The witch said that she knew all this and that she was able to understand the relevant information through "revelation" from the gods.

And it revealed two important pieces of information.

The appearance of monsters has a lot to do with two existences.

One is naturally Tamamonomae mentioned earlier by Ubuyashiki, and the other one is also very powerful, that is the Yamata-no-Orochi from hell.

This person is definitely a well-known "god of trouble" in Japan.

It makes the members of the Demon Slayer Corps feel like a myth has come into reality.

The witch also mentioned that once their power penetrates into this world, the ghosts' weakness of being afraid of sunlight may be slowly broken.

And some other things may also appear in this world.

This is not good news.

Then, of course, the shrine maiden taught the members of the Demon Slayer Corps how to use spiritual power, the basic of which was the use of applied skills.

It can greatly increase the strength of the Demon Slayer Corps pillars.

These abilities are not afraid of being learned by ghosts.

Lucci has done experiments, and the blood demon technique mastered by the Demon Slayer Corps is also the application of "Qi".

It is similar to how humans master application skills, while ghosts master "development".

Of course, this also gave Lucci the opportunity to formally study Ubuyashiki. Lucci was very curious about this "blood curse".

The influence on Muzan could not be killed, but it was reflected in the related bloodlines.

After careful study, it was found that it was not just a mysterious power, but also contained a kind of blood power.

If the android priestess was not the "Little Holy Grail", Lucci might not have been able to discover it.

There is a special power in Ubuyashiki's blood that affects his body and lifespan.

It seemed like it was connecting with something, and then it was discovered that it was connected with Muzan Kibutsuji.

It’s just that the deeper things cannot be seen.

All I know is that everything the Ubuyashiki clan lost was probably contributed to Muzan Kibutsuji.

Is it like a kind of compensation?

Of course, I also studied the so-called priest bloodline, and it does have a special power.

In addition to helping Ubuyashiki to grow smoothly, the blood power of the priest family was also "compensated" by that connection.

What makes Lucci very curious is, is Muzan, who has just turned into a demon, really as strong as described in the plot?

In addition to becoming stronger by eating humans, is there still this curse having an effect?

The more I learn, the more confused I become, but I have no idea what the situation is with Muzan who has just turned into a demon.

Even though Muzan also has the Killing Stone in his body, unless the original body investigates it, Muzan will not discover it.

Unfortunately, I am still very busy.

After getting some information, the Japanese officials also came to meet the artificial shrine maiden, as well as priests from various shrines, wizards from temples, and the so-called Onmyoji families.

Just to obtain the training method from the artificial human priestess.

Lucci didn't mind. It was time to strengthen the human side.

It’s a pity that among these people, very few can quickly master spiritual power.

After all, those who can join the Demon Slayer Corps are all gifted.

If you can't even master the breathing method, then spiritual power will be even more difficult.

The android shrine maiden has once again changed the structure of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Invite the android shrine maiden to join, and give the unique healing ability to the Butterfly House.

As for the changes on Muzan Kibutsuji's side.

The first step is to select a new Lower Moon in the Infinite City, and Muzan will give him a Killing Stone, which is also a "privilege" that Lucci gives to Muzan.

And a new order was issued, which was to eliminate the monsters in Kyoto.

The real battle between demons and ghosts has begun.

Everything was secretly planned by Lucci.

As for him, he was still studying and improving himself in Purgatory. Things in the outside world had nothing to do with him.

Of course, he will also master his spiritual power independently at the right time, and let the Demon Slayer Corps actively gather some knowledge and pass it to him.

Both sides are under his control, and it depends on whether they fight to the death.

By the way, I also studied the vampires, werewolves and the like that came to Neon, and learned some information that there are witches in Western countries.

Magic also exists in this world.

The "daylight rings" worn by vampires, which allow them to stand in sunlight, are the work of witches.

This daylight ring also has an effect on ghosts.

Lucci even began to suspect that this was a mixed world.

But it's more interesting this way, he can learn about it slowly.

At this point the entire neon was in chaos.

Hunter World.

Most of Lucci's attention is focused on the outside world, with only a small part focused on the Demon Slayer world.

Almost two months have passed in the Demon Slayer world, but only a little over two days have passed in the Hunter world.

As we get closer to the Dark Continent, the extreme weather becomes worse and it cannot be solved by the Nen users on the ship.

All of this is due to Lucci's powerful strength, but the main trouble is the huge gust of wind that was formed.

If Lucci did not have Susanoo, he would probably not be able to stop it. As the distance increased, the power of the Holy Grail and the power of the sacred tree that he could mobilize were affected.

All we can say is that this group of people is too powerful, causing the "barrier" of Lake Mobius to react too violently.

When the coastline appeared in their view, the weather was becoming milder, proving that they had left the area affected by the "barrier".

About to step into the dark continent.

"We're finally almost there." The deck was full of people.

Everyone seems to be looking forward to it.

Of course, there were also many people who looked at Lucci flying above the ship with admiration.

Lucci's continuous display of strength in the past few days has simply refreshed their three views. He is totally not a "human".

It has basically been confirmed that Lu Qi is the strongest in the world.

This power of man against nature is simply too strong.

"We are about to land, please be prepared." Bi Yangde's voice sounded.

I have informed the team of many matters before coming here.

The first problem encountered when landing on the Dark Continent is the oxygen concentration. Some people may not be able to bear it and may even suffer from "oxygen poisoning" or death.

After the ship docked, the first to land were the protection team and the biological team.

First, we need to investigate the situation nearby. The travelogue doesn't provide detailed information, and it was written many years ago, so there is no guarantee whether there have been any changes nearby.

After all, a large creature in the Dark Continent could potentially "change the world" and directly flatten the original mountain ranges.

The biological team mainly tests air content and nearby plants and animals.

I was affected a little as soon as I landed. The first thing I encountered was the insects from the Dark Continent, which were all enlarged versions of ordinary insects.

Some of them also have enlarged versions in the human world, which is not that rare. They are not as harmful as chimera ants and do not have much intelligence.

At least according to the test results, at least near the shore, there is no particularly big difference from some of the islands and continents that have been landed before.

Except there are many more elements in the air.

After all, it is a very remote place, so it is not an unexpected situation.

Then other personnel landed.

With three people like Nob's ability, the team can accommodate the entire team, but of course it will seem a bit crowded.

Not everyone can enter the telekinetic space.

According to the predetermined plan, they would first rest on the shore for a few days and then explore the situation outside.

Then slowly move forward.

This time, they brought a Nen user to show them the direction, and with Lucci to escort them all the way, they did not deviate from the route.

Now they were southeast of Lake Mobius.

Bi Yangde's team took the exploration map and the information of the Ochima Federation to explore the surrounding situation.

As for Lucci, the stabilizing force, he is naturally responsible for guarding the base camp.

The Ochima Federation had sent people to the Dark Continent, and their target was the wild swamp in this direction.

The target is Nitolome, or longevity rice.

The goal was not achieved, but in the end there were still eight survivors.

At least judging from the number of survivors, the Dark Continent is not in danger at every step, and ordinary people with good training can survive.

Unless you are unlucky and encounter a super-large creature.

The various exploration teams are keeping in touch and have encountered some battles, mostly with insects and animals, but have not encountered any danger for the time being.

The research team has already begun studying soil and air.

Many things from the Dark Continent are also available in Mobius, except that the ones here are a bit bigger, and there are also some mutant plants.

We have experts in various biological disciplines, and at least for now, there have been no poisoning incidents.

This is not surprising. Bi Yangde’s small team did not begin to encounter real danger until they reached the “ruins”.

Unfortunately, the distance is too far and it is difficult to borrow the power of the Holy Grail, otherwise Lucci could further analyze many substances in the Dark Continent.

Although he was guarding the camp, Lucci was not doing nothing.

Instead, he led the Nen users who mastered the word "God" to start building the "God" formation.

According to their and Bi Yangde's original idea, they would not go straight to the target at the beginning. This time it would be a more detailed exploration.

The "treasures" of the Dark Continent are definitely not just a few.

As they slowly advance, the camps will have to arrange special divine formations, either for defense or to enhance the strength of those who use Nen.

When you encounter problems, you can go to the camp to resist danger.

The divine blacksmith should also use local materials as much as possible to forge some divine creations to deal with various problems that may arise.

Although I have made some preparations before, it always pays to be more prepared.

While Lucci was busy building the God Formation, he also used Phoenix to fly back to Lake Mobius to take a look.

As expected, the "barrier" was having an influence, and teleportation would also be affected.

It is not easy to break through this "barrier", but it is not without the opportunity. Lucci discovered that Dark Sonata might have the chance to make this happen.

Unfortunately, he did too little research and only had the flute chapter on hand.

Fortunately, the adventurer's mark was not affected. After all, it was also a special divine creation.

Otherwise the situation will be a bit troublesome.

After about a day, the exploration team returned, drew maps of the nearby area, and brought back some animals and plants.

It’s not that there are no small animals and plants in the Dark Continent, they are just relatively fewer.

Judging from the small animals and plants, the area where they are located should not be particularly dangerous.

No swamp-related terrain has been seen yet.
