Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 145 Fire Spirit Land

The challenges of entering and exiting the five sacred lands are different, and the living environments are also different.

The sacred site has only been built for a short time and has not yet been fully developed.

Watery Land is a small lake in the Basen Rainforest, while Firey Land is different from other places, being a stone town.

Kim might not have felt it deeply, but Lester, following Carter, was able to keenly sense the changing trends in the surrounding fog.

The location has definitely changed.

But he did not show any shock.

It seems they had already guessed it.

"Come with me, you're facing different challenges." Carter led Lester away.

At the same time, you need to tell Lester about the more specific challenges and the "rewards" that can be obtained.

Although it is a stone town, there are not many Pachi people living there.

Over the years, the Pachi tribe has expanded outwards, and its population has increased to over a thousand, but when dispersed, the number of people is still not very large.

The creation of the five spiritual lands will not be hidden away as it is now, but will be open to the public. Of course, even if they are opened, they will mainly be open to fighters in the Sky Arena.

"You're quite lucky to have gained the approval of this little fat bird." The person who received Jin was a twenty-year-old Pachi young man.

He looked at the woodpecker on the golden shoulder with an envious expression.

"Little Fat Bird, that's what we call him, but you can also call him Scarlet. My name is Natsu, what's yours?"

"My name is King Freecss. So, is it time for a fight?" King was more concerned about the exam content.

"No rush, let me show you around here first. Besides, you can't really unleash your full power right now, can you?" Jin was surprised by the friendliness shown by this Patch tribesman named Natsu.

"Can I wander around here?" Jin asked, puzzled.

After all, their experience in the Wood Spirit Land was quite different.

"Of course, the situation in the Wood Spirit Land is a bit different, so you haven't come into contact with it." Natsu didn't explain in detail to Ging, but simply took him for a walk around the Fire Spirit Land.

I also got to know several Pachi people.

Of course, everyone looked on with envy at the little woodpecker on the gold shoulder.

Jin was a little confused about what was going on.

Meanwhile, Lester learned more detailed information about the Basen Challenge.

These martial artists, none of whom have awakened their Nen, only have the simplest challenge route. Success will grant them the opportunity to directly and safely awaken their Nen.

The lowest level of battle rune obtained is not the Patch tribe's figure battle rune, but more accurately, the contract rune with the divine tree.

Lucci categorizes the ability to borrow Nen into different levels, which is essentially a "VIP" ranking system.

The higher the level, the more spiritual energy can be borrowed.

As a Nen user, Lester is naturally capable of challenging everyone.

Carter took him directly to where the High Priest of Fire Spirit Land was.

Unlike the other four sacred lands, whose priests are all older members of the Pachi tribe, the priest of the Fire Spirit Land is a young man.

A 17-year-old young man.

Pascal is currently the strongest of the younger generation of the Patch tribe, and also the most adaptable of them all since Lucci created the "Five Spirits" abilities.

At the very center of Fire Spirit Land is a large bonfire.

And Pascal was here.

Lester, who was closer, immediately sensed that the flames in the huge bonfire were different, because they contained Nen energy.

Although I haven't formally come into contact with the five elements yet, I can understand some things from a simple analysis.

There wasn't much firewood in the fire, but the flames were roaring. From Lester's perspective, he could see the boy next to the fire using Nen to infuse the flames, though he didn't know exactly what he was doing.

Next to it is a fiery red eagle-like bird carrying a piece of meat on a stone slab next to the fire. Is this meat being roasted?

And the flames did not affect the bird at all.

A bird that can read!

The world is full of wonders, and now Lester is no longer too surprised by the appearance of animals that can control Nen.

Pascal explained some things to Lester.

The challenge is a battle, nothing too complicated.

The main focus is on rewards.

To obtain the core of the five elements and then cultivate them into abilities.

Therefore, one must obtain recognition from one of the five sacred sites, as this is related to the Hunter Exam, and the candidate's number plate can reduce the recognition required by one sacred site.

It also mentioned the two major battle markings of the Patch tribe.

The battle markings of the Patch tribe are actually somewhat similar to those of the Divine Tree, except that instead of increasing Nen, they use Nen to gain some enhancements in strength, physical strength, and speed.

This can be understood as activating a buff effect using psychic energy.

The combination of these two can unleash considerable power.

"Of course, if you can defeat the high priests of our five great spirits, then you will receive the title of Basen Warrior."

Basen Warriors?

What's the point? Previous challenges all had tangible rewards, but this title is useless to them!

"This is the first time the Basen Challenge has been held publicly. From now on, the Basen Challenge will be held once a year. Basen warriors will be qualified to enter our Patch Village and will learn some secrets of our Patch tribe. As for the purpose of this, I cannot tell you for the time being."

Generally speaking, people who participate in the Basen Challenge only want to become stronger.

That's definitely the direction it's going to develop in.

The title of Basen Warrior is simply a formal encounter with the Divine Tree, followed by the formation of a more advanced contract.

Now that the Divine Tree is growing in the Basen Rainforest, and with Lucci's plans regarding this ability, it can also be said to be a constraint on the X-Oath, meaning that the power of the contract doesn't necessarily have to be performed in front of the Divine Tree.

This kind of unvarnished approach is actually more appealing.

"When will it start? I can't wait!"

Lester is currently facing a bottleneck in the Heaven's Arena, unable to improve in either martial arts or Nen abilities in the short term.

He values ​​this Basen challenge highly because it can improve his skills.

"Carter, his challenge is now in your hands." Pascal handed the task directly to his subordinate.

"Can't I just challenge you, the High Priest, directly?" Lester said, expressing his desire to participate in the highest-level challenge.

"You can only challenge me after you defeat the others, and even if you want to challenge me now, you'll have to wait until later." A whooshing sound came from the sky.

Something is rapidly approaching.

This sound can be heard in many places in the Basen rainforest.

Then a surge of spiritual energy swept down onto the Fire Spirit Ground.

A tall figure descended from the sky; it was Bisky.
