Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 217 Comparing Yang Dezhang's Return

On a ship formed from blue seawater in some unknown sea area.

There were four people on the boat.

At this time, all four people were unconscious.

The ship was clearly being maintained by Nen abilities; it's hard to believe that the ability could still be activated when people were unconscious.

All four of them had serious injuries, and one of them was a tall figure. If Lucci were there, he would have noticed that the other person was actually taller than Yang De.

At this moment, Byonde Netero was in a coma, and his Nen energy had been completely exhausted.

In his hand, he was tightly holding a glass bottle, inside which was a small plant.

After more than three months, they finally returned successfully from the Dark Continent.

When they set out, there was a team of dozens of Nen users, but now only four have returned.

Because they did not enter the Dark Continent through orthodox means, they had to suffer attacks from dangerous creatures in the "lake," and they paid a price to leave.

They also paid the ultimate price for returning.

But they still succeeded.

They wouldn't bring back the same "disaster" without the "gatekeeper's" permission.

The "ship" seemed to be being pulled by something, sailing in one direction.

Clearly, although this ship possesses Nen abilities, it is not the ability of any one person, but rather a creation of some god.

Meanwhile, in the known world, far beyond human understanding, no one knows that such a team has returned from the Dark Continent.

Kerry City Superpower Martial Arts Hall.

They were discussing who would participate in the King of Fighters tournament.

"I'll lead the team this time," Chris said, clearly wanting to be the captain.

"Who wants to participate?"

No one answered. Those who wanted to participate didn't have enough strength, while those who had the strength didn't want to participate.

"I'm afraid our skills aren't good enough to win the championship, so I won't participate. I have a lot of work to do." Athena said that besides martial arts, she also has a lot of GG (game-related) filming to do every day.

Others gave similar reasons.

Since we know we can't win the championship, we might as well not participate.

"So what? The fact that the King of Fighters tournament is being held in the Basen Rainforest means something must be going on," Chris speculated.

The Basen rainforest is mysterious, but they still know quite a bit of information about it.

"You're not thinking of challenging the Fire Realm again, are you? Now is not the time for Basen to do so," an older woman said.

This is Sharm.

"I just wanted to get a fire elemental, didn't I? I feel like I have a real connection with it, don't you think so, Sister Shermie?"

The topic quickly veered off course.

This also made Illumi aware of some things. First of all, the seven most famous martial artists in the Psychic Martial Arts Hall had all participated in the Basen Challenge.

And all of them were based on "contracts".

"Can we challenge the secret realm even outside of the Basen Challenge period?" Illumi knew about the Basen Challenge, after all, it was a well-known topic in Kree City.

The five secret realms that Basen is challenging are different from the current secret realms in Kerry City.

Of course, after this trip, they will find that it is already the same.

"What's the big deal? I'm so familiar with them, there's nothing wrong with taking on a challenge." Chris revealed his familiar relationship with the Patch tribe.

"Illumi, you're now a level 200 fighter, so you can participate in this King of Fighters tournament. Do you want to go?"

"Maybe you'll have a chance to sign a contract with the Divine Tree!" Chris tempted.

It must be said that Illumi was quite interested.

Regarding the "contract" ability, setting aside the information obtained in Kree City, Illumi was well aware of the fact that the Zoldyck family made assassin work more difficult because of this ability.

The power of "contract" is annoying when it appears on an enemy, but it's a completely different story when it appears on yourself.

Moreover, now that he has become an adventurer, he doesn't mind having another mark on his body.

Of course, if any danger is discovered, then the only option is to find an exorcist to remove it. With the Zoldyck family's strength, finding an exorcist shouldn't be a problem.

After some discussion...

The three who ultimately went to the Superpower Martial Arts Hall to participate in the King of Fighters tournament were Chris, Illumi, and Shermie.

Meanwhile, a major piece of news also came from the Adventurers' Guild.

That is the news that a secret realm will also appear in the Basen Rainforest. It is not one of the five secret realms related to the Patch tribe, but a secret realm instance like the one in Kree City.

Some adventurers might scratch their heads and ask why.

Those with some intelligence sources guessed the possibility.

Regardless of the specifics, this is definitely good news for adventurers.

The appearance of the Shadow Tower is nothing to ordinary adventurers, because they can't get in at all.

On the contrary, with the ability for adventurers to register, more and more adventurers are finding it impossible to even get a spot in the secret realm dungeons.

Even though some secret realm cards have leaked out, each one is extremely expensive, making them unaffordable for ordinary adventurers.

For many, becoming an adventurer is simply a way to make money.

Now that there's another option, things are naturally different; a large group of people are planning to go to the Basen Rainforest.

Since the King of Fighters tournament is being held in the Basen Rainforest, I might as well sign up and experience it.

In short, the series of news reports caused some population movement in Kerry.

Only Yone Conrad of the Adventurers' Guild was wondering what might happen in the Basen Rainforest.

I thought about what I had seen in the prophecy.

It doesn't seem to be dangerous, but why do I have this uneasy feeling?

But he quickly put it out of his mind. Basen Rainforest was Lord Lucci's territory, and its layout was no less impressive than that of Kree City. How could a major incident possibly happen there?

Meanwhile, Cape Radboud, near the Basen rainforest, experienced a surge in population.

Today, Cape Rad is the most prosperous coastal city in the Republic of Batokia.

Most of this is due to the Basen Rainforest, and part of it is due to the influx of industries from Crete.

In addition, due to its coastal location, it has also become a large port.

In some aspects, it is even more prosperous than Kerry.

The preliminary rounds for the King of Fighters tournament were held at Cape Radboud.

Now, King of Fighters GG can be seen everywhere in the city.

It happened during the King of Fighters tournament qualifiers.

A ship formed from seawater finally approached the shore.

The four people on the boat also woke up.

"We're finally back," Bynd said excitedly, holding the glass bottle in his hand.

This time he succeeded, although it deviated from his initial goal.
