Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 230 Failed Weapons

This anomaly wasn't just noticed by Chris; Lucci, far away in Cape Rad, also noticed it through Phoenix's perspective.

The vampire, sensing its weakening power, immediately panicked. It no longer wanted to fight; it only wanted to leave and find a new host.

But how could Chris possibly let the other party have their way?

They directly blocked them.

"Get out of my way!" Morgan's face turned ferocious.

His entire face looked terrifying.

"Why can't I leave?" Chris was surrounded by flames, forming a wall of fire around him, giving him no chance to leave. Even if he wanted to escape by using Moonwalk while flying in the air, he would be blocked by Chris.

Morgan is getting more and more anxious.

About a minute later, the air pressure dropped again.

Every exchange and contact weakens the opponent's energy.

Morgan grew increasingly anxious, sensing the threat of death.

Why is this happening?

He simply doesn't understand.

Three minutes later, the purple flames broke through its defenses and engulfed its entire body in flames.

A scream of agony, "Ah! Ah!" was heard.

Then Morgan stopped moving?

"That's it?" Chris asked, somewhat puzzled, as he landed from the air.

Because there was no protection from Nen, Morgan's body was burned to a crisp.

Deep underground, a small figure was digging deeper and deeper, even using the special skills he had learned from Morgan.

I must not be discovered by that human, or I will really die.

These are naturally bloodsucking worms that escaped from Morgan's body.

After realizing he couldn't escape, he immediately devised an escape plan.

Before the body completely slips out of control, first wrap yourself in a spider web to become invisible, then immediately escape from the body and flee underground.

It must be said that with human intelligence, we are able to make very appropriate choices when faced with certain dangers.

Chris was confused.

But it is still on high alert, after all, the enemy it is facing is not a real human, and the parasite may still be hiding inside its body.

They did not approach rashly.

Because the situation with the bloodsucking worms was unclear, the worms escaped.

But how could Lucci, who had been watching the battle closely, not notice the bloodsucking worm's escape?

The person disappeared once again at Cape Radboud.

Within a second of Lucci's disappearance, the bloodsucking worms, which were still heading deeper into the earth, vanished instantly.

With a "thud," a worm that was seven or eight meters long and more than three meters thick landed on the floor.

Why are the bloodsuckers not reacting? Why did they suddenly move to a different location?

Then I saw a figure.

This is the Holy Grail Palace, and Lucci naturally teleported this vampire here.

Lucci was examining the worm with great interest.

Bloodsucking worms also have their own aura, but this aura is very weak and tiny.

The bloodsucking worm noticed Lucci's gaze and turned its head away.

He "saw" Lucci.

"Hiss!" It's a normal sound, not a human sound, and it can't be called language, but rather a frequency for some kind of communication.

But nowadays, the bloodsucking worms that possess human-like intelligence actually utter the term "Lord Luqi".

The vampire recognized Lucci. Even though he was now separated from his host, he had absorbed a lot of Morgan's "nutrients" and memories. He might not remember some things for a while, but he would remember them immediately as soon as he touched them.

This is a powerful human, but I am currently unable to parasitize it.

If it weren't for good luck, he wouldn't even have been able to parasitize Morgan at all.

Look at this bloodsucking worm.

It emitted a frequency that a vampire could understand.

"What are you?"

"Bloodsucking worm" is just a name; this kind of creature does not exist in the known world. Since they can communicate, Lucci will ask.

The bloodsucking worm was dumbfounded. Why could the other party emit such a frequency? It wasn't one of its own kind.

Hmm? Same clan? Do you have any clans?

Only after coming into contact with humans do they develop their own intelligence. At this point, the vampires also begin to think independently and consider things they had never thought of before.

The bloodsucking worm dared not answer, nor did it know how to answer.

Yes! What am I, really?

Lucci was able to emit such a communicative frequency thanks to the power of the Holy Grail.

The Holy Grail isn't a "wish-granting machine" yet, but it can still accomplish some things.

"If it's too much trouble, I'd better find out myself. I hope there won't be any losses."

An invisible force of thought directly controlled the bloodsucking worms, and a divine magic circle appeared directly on the floor.

This is an ability that Lucci achieved by combining the power of the Holy Grail with his own "dream memory" ability.

Since "Dream Memories" can read one's own memories, it can also read other people's memories, making it far more convenient than Pakunotan's abilities in the anime.

It was also referred to by Lucci as "Soul Search".

This method has only been used on a few death row inmates.

Lucci quickly extracted a segment of memory information.

A large portion of them belonged to Morgan, but they were all broken up; another portion belonged to the bloodsuckers.

Many of these are even deep-seated memories that bloodsuckers may not be aware of.

Lucci had expected information about the Dark Continent, but it wasn't very relevant.

It's mainly related to the ruins of that deserted city.

Like gold and silver ingots, this bloodsucking worm is also a kind of plant weapon, but it is a "failed product". Unfortunately, Lucci did not see what it was called in his memory, nor did he find any trace of the person who made this "weapon".

All we know is that this plant grows alongside many precious plants in the ruins of abandoned cities.

If you pluck those precious plants, they will be parasitized by "blood-sucking worms," ​​like some kind of "curse."

Why is this weapon considered a "failure"?

Unlike gold and silver ingots, bloodsuckers need nutrients to sustain their existence.

Because Morgan possesses powerful Nen abilities, she used many geniuses to complete the process, and then used Nen energy to multiply and modify herself.

Initially lacking intelligence, it did not immediately realize this situation after acquiring human intelligence.

Unless it can periodically absorb blood to sustain itself, Morgan's initial physical strength blinded this newly intelligent bloodsucking worm.

Subsequently, during the battle with Chris, he rapidly depleted his own energy, leading to his weakening.

Compared to weapons like gold and silver ingots, which can suppress their power once parasitism is successful, it is still far inferior.

A weapon that requires constant replenishment of "nutrients" or replacement of its body is a failure.

"But why this feeling of defeat?" Lu Qi was puzzled. He could sense the target's emotions while reading their memories, as if they were hidden deep within the memories of this "race".
