Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 68 Contact, Discovery

Omar stopped in his tracks.

"We've arrived! We can't go any further."

Lucci and Bisky both looked ahead, and the circle had already peered out.

"How is it?" Bisky's circle only has a radius of about fifty meters, which is not enough to investigate the situation clearly.

Lucci's is farther away.

"No signs of any living beings were detected." Yuan's detection ability was something that even Jue could not avoid.

"But I'm curious, how did you determine the range? Wasn't it constantly expanding?" Lucci asked Omar.

"It's a feeling, perhaps it's a talent of our Patch tribe." Omar didn't know why either, but it was indeed a feeling, as he said.

"What should we do now?" It would be unwise to rush in without knowing the situation.

Using a martial artist's intuition to investigate, there seemed to be no danger ahead.

"Let Phoenix go take a look." As Lucci finished speaking, Phoenix spread its wings and flew into the rainforest ahead.

At this point, the spirit beast can be used as a probe to enter.

"That's it!" Omar exclaimed, looking at the magnificent bird with its colorful wings, something he had never seen before in Basen.

"Since you know about Nen, you should also know about Nen abilities. That's my Nen beast, its name is Phoenix." Lucci smiled.

Then, turning to Bisky, he said, "Leave this to me for now. Don't you have a mission with the association?"

Lucci had no intention of letting Bisky waste time with him here.

"The association's task isn't urgent," Bisky said.

"I'm more interested in this place. If it's a new secret realm, the discoverer will have made a great contribution." Although Bisky didn't care about such contributions, she wanted to know.

A hunter's curiosity about the unknown.

"I think you should be in a hurry, and who knows, these two things might be related."

"What did you find out!" Bisky's smile vanished, and she immediately asked seriously.

"It's not that I've discovered anything. Although I haven't seen that monster yet, Omar, didn't you say that the monster hasn't attacked the Patch tribe?"

Omar had been away and was unaware of the specifics, but he believed what his tribesmen said.

"But this possible secret realm has been around for several years..." Bisky suddenly paused.

Because she had thought of something.

First, let's talk about the origin of this monster.

The Basen Rainforest is famous, but there are no more remote, unexplored areas nearby; it's mostly populated areas.

Furthermore, according to intelligence, there were no large-scale casualties in the nearby cities, towns, and villages of Basen.

So how did this monster appear in Basen?

If this monster has always existed in Basen, is it possible that it escaped from the "secret realm" before us?

Bisky quickly figured out the key point.

"You're right, that magical beast is indeed crucial. In that case, I'll take over the task. Be careful."

Bisky found her direction and stopped staying with Lucci, telling him to be careful as she left.

The main point was to warn him not to take risks.

If it truly is a secret realm that exists in its own space, then once you're trapped inside, leaving won't be so easy.

"Don't worry, don't forget, I'm stronger than you."

Even if he were to get trapped inside, unless there were spatial restrictions, Lucci's ability to travel through space, thanks to Phoenix's mastery of space travel, would be enough to handle most of the dangers.

After Bisquie left.

Lucci asked Omar, "Have you calculated the time? Approximately how long it will take to disappear once you're trapped inside?"

"Five to six minutes, and the larger the animal, the longer it takes," Omar replied immediately.

Phoenix was flying not far away.

Whether using his Sharingan or En's detection, Lucci found nothing unusual, nor did he sense any force acting on Phoenix.

Ten minutes later.

"It seems that this land will not react to the spirit beasts."

In that case, let's give it a try first.

Lucky begins searching for animals in the neighborhood, and Omar helps him.

The animals in the rainforest are divided into two types: those that are killed and those that are maimed and rendered immobile are thrown directly into the "devouring land".

Two creatures of the same kind, one dead and one crippled, let's see what the difference is.

Lu Qi stared intently, and Yuan also circled the target within his range.

Sure enough, three minutes later, the first thing to disappear was the dead beast. Was it because it was already dead?

Similarly, Lucci also made a discovery.

When it vanished into thin air, Lucci's Sharingan detected a faint, unusual Nen aura.

If it weren't for the Sharingan, even using the Ninja technique wouldn't be able to see through it easily.

Lucci then conducted several more experiments and was able to confirm that the thought did indeed exist.

"How is Lord Lucci?" Omar asked cautiously.

If even a strong person like Lucci hasn't discovered anything, then things are in trouble.

"Some discoveries involve the power of Nen, but to confirm this further, we need to conduct our own experiments to fully perceive it."

Lucci decided to try it out himself.

"Lord Lucci, what are you planning to do...?" Omar asked in surprise.

"That's right, I plan to go in and take a look myself." With that, Lucci stepped inside.

"Lord Lucci, isn't this too risky?" Omar asked worriedly.

"Sometimes, you really have to take some risks." At least in that thought, Lu Qi didn't feel any danger.

And if any problems arise, he will immediately perform spatial transfer.

Phoenix landed directly on Omar's shoulder.

Omar was immediately captivated by Phoenix; he had never seen such a magnificent bird before, as if it were a divine bird.

Being near him gives you a feeling of "warmth".

As an immortal bird, it does indeed give people a sense of "divinity".

However, Omar's gaze quickly shifted, fixing on Lucci, ready to see what would happen next.

Lucky waited quietly, a time that normally takes only three to five minutes for animals.

But Lu Qi waited for nearly ten minutes and still couldn't sense the presence of that Nen.

But his keen intuition told Lucci that something was watching him.

Finally, at the 23-minute mark, a surge of energy acted upon Lucci.

He soon experienced a feeling of spatial travel. Because he was very familiar with this spatial change, Lucci immediately began to travel through space.

To be precise, this time it was a position swap with Phoenix.

When Omarucci disappeared and Phoenix flew off his shoulder, he instantly showed a look of panic.

But less than a second later, Lucci appeared next to him.

"Lord Lucci!" The panicked expression on his face hadn't faded yet.
