Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 235 Lucci with a Strange Expression

She had long wanted to study the divine realm, but she was never able to stay away from it. Now, it seems there is a similar "divine tree," and she absolutely has to study it.

In other words, Kluck and Gail were still young at the time. Although they had already achieved a certain status in the industry, they were still somewhat lacking in many aspects.

Otherwise, they would certainly know the cause of what happened at Cape Radboud.

The target will not be drawn to the Basen Rainforest, but rather to what was brought back from the Dark Continent.

"Ugh, you're such a cheapskate!"

"Chirp! Chirp!"

Kruk tried to get these "phantom beasts" to show them what the divine tree was like.

The result was obvious: all the birds rejected Crook's proposal and warned her that if she dared to mess with the sacred tree, they would teach her a lesson.

Krueger was like a child at that moment, arguing with the birds.

My usual strong affinity for birds has failed me in the face of the birds in the Basen rainforest.

Lucci also deciphered Kruk's ability. She didn't actually speak bird language; it was just an accessory to her Nen ability. Besides controlling birds, the "weapon" in her hand also possessed other abilities.

It also has tiny "god" characters on it, so it's clearly not an ordinary weapon.

Why do Nen users sometimes naturally produce the shape of the character "神" (god) when creating their abilities?

What secrets lie behind this? Or are abilities truly something that people actively "develop"?

Everything remains unknown.

No matter, Lucci can experiment slowly. This time, his target is the "Twelve Earthly Branches".

Even if it's because of his own actions that Chairman Netero has lost interest, if the twelve earthly branches really don't appear, then Lucci wouldn't mind giving them a push.

Let's get back on the "original" track.

"Who!" Gail suddenly became alert. Her perfectly good right hand suddenly turned into a snake's head, which twisted and turned as it attacked a nearby figure.

Besides her ability to use poison, Gail possesses the ability to shapeshift her body.

However, none of them have reached their future peak yet, so their abilities are naturally the same.

A figure emerged from the dense forest; it was a Pachi woman.

"Gentlemen, the high priest requests your presence."

To be precise, they received orders from Lucci to make contact with the two.

Gail and Krok exchanged a glance.

Neither of them chose to believe the other because of their clothing; who knew if someone was in disguise or if the other person had some bad intentions?

But they soon had to believe it.

Because the flock of birds that controlled the air all flew towards each other, and the other birds all flew away at the sound of the other's whistle.

It seems the other party also has the ability to control birds, and is even more skilled than Crook.

"Oh, which secret realm's priest wants to see us?" They weren't complete novices; they understood the current structure of the Patch tribe.

This is also because the Pach tribe has held the Basen Challenge many times.

They followed them into the Wood Realm.

Meanwhile, Lucci, inside the Holy Grail Palace, had a rather strange expression on his face.

I never thought I would encounter such a problem.

Just as he contacted the five high priests, the high priest of the Wood Realm was the first to respond.

Within the Wood Realm.

Unlike the Earth Realm, which has a city, the Wood Realm is filled with trees, flowers, and vegetation.

Moreover, these trees are not scattered haphazardly. In the very center of the Wood Realm, there is a tall tree, which is of course not a divine tree.

To be precise, it should be called the Secret Realm of Wood.

Many years have passed since Lucci obtained the five elements, and the Patch tribe has gone down different paths as a result.

Among them, the High Priest of the Wood Realm walked the fastest and took the longest.

Entering the forest of the Woodland, you'll find wooden houses everywhere, blending seamlessly with the forest and creating a unique natural landscape.

As Gail and Crook entered, they seemed to be cleansed by some special force, becoming extremely peaceful and calm.

Flowers can be seen everywhere in the forest, and some beautiful butterflies flutter among them, creating a very special scene.

The two of them unconsciously exclaimed, "So beautiful!"

The deeper they went, the more they saw, and then they saw the Blood Orchid and the Blood Jade Bee.

Unlike the Blood Jade Bees in the Basen Rainforest outside, the Blood Jade Bees here seem to have mutated, becoming somewhat small and exquisite.

It is a mutated Blood Jade Bee cultivated by the Patch tribe in the Wood Secret Realm.

When they arrived at the central location, the Pachi tribe of the Wood Realm received them.

To this day, they still do not know why the Patch chief priest met with them.

Gail and Crook's gazes were drawn to the tall tree in the center, which emanated a rich life energy.

Its body was also surrounded by colorful light.

This is a tree of remembrance "cultivated" by the high priest of the Wood Realm using the wood element.

It was named the Tree of Life, embodying the beautiful wishes of the High Priest of the Wood Realm.

Even Lucci had to marvel at their progress.

If it continues to develop as it is, even if it doesn't succeed at first, as long as there are successors, it will definitely succeed and become an existence no less than a "divine tree".

Why was Lucci so amazed?

Because this Tree of Life will also become the "Sacrifice Tree" for the Patch tribe, Patch tribe members who are about to die will come to the Wood Realm to hold a ceremony.

Sacrificing oneself to the Tree of Life strengthens its power, and there is a certain chance that the spirit of the deceased Patch tribe will be transformed and preserved by the Tree of Life.

They become a unique life form, similar to a "fairy".

When Lucci first learned of this, he felt as if a myth had come true.

Is this how you "pass down" your lineage?

It must be said that the high priest of the Wood Realm has a very different idea, which is to increase the number of thoughts of a clan after death and to ensure that these thoughts can be passed down.

Whether or not it possesses power, it is an extremely remarkable idea.

As for the reason why the high priest of the Wood Realm wanted to meet Gail and Kruk.

However, it was because Lord Lucci mentioned that there were outstanding women, and she wanted to get to know the men of the Patch tribe.

For a race that doesn't have much contact with the outside world, the continuation and development of the race has always been a major issue, and now they have become much more open to the outside world.

However, finding a suitable woman is not easy.

The fact that everyone in the tribe studied the language of the Pachi tribe also raised their expectations considerably.

This is why Lucci's expression became a little strange.

In the end, Lucci left it to the high priest and the others to handle; if they could win them over in this way, it wouldn't be bad.

Lucci didn't care about their strength, but rather what he cared about in their respective fields.
