Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 204 The Messenger of God

Illumi simply watched from the sidelines.

Several hours passed in this manner.

The four who left the group earlier had already collected a lot of herbs and hunted some animals.

Instead of leaving the secret realm to trade with the adventurers outside, they joined up with Baal's team and communicated with them.

They also wanted to know the situation.

Because this time, the secret realm we encountered was truly different.

First of all, this time they didn't even reach the edge of the dungeon.

At the same time, they also encountered danger in the forest, where there were powerful animals, and even animals that controlled air.

It's only because they had some experience and were well-prepared that their lives could have been in danger.

They came mainly to see if anyone had dealt with the boss monster here, so that others wouldn't have to handle it later.

"This situation is very different," a young man in Baal's team said to everyone.

"It's been five hours since we entered the dungeon. We've been observing this minotaur tribe, and they truly possess intelligence."

"Judging from this situation, they probably won't act like they did last time."

It's already quite alarming that these minotaurs possess intelligence.

These few hours.

They also saw several minotaurs run out of the tribe to cut down trees, and then drag huge logs back into the tribe.

Through the telescope, they also saw what Baal was doing.

"Could this really be somewhere in the real world?" one adventurer murmured to himself, recalling the rumors about the secret realm.

"The experience gained from failing a dungeon has only occurred twice."

"Both times, the adventurers were directly teleported out of the dungeon when the time was up, while the monsters in the dungeon came out through the rift gate."

Will this time be different?

They will only know the answer to this question when the time comes.

At the same time, only the mastermind behind this question, Lucci, knows the answer.

This time, of course, there are changes.

When the eight-hour mark was almost up, Kahn had to take out a firework and launch it into the sky as a reminder to Baal and Illumi that it was time to leave.

Of course, they can choose to wait until the time comes, and the secret realm will directly expel them.

But this time the secret realm is different. Who knows if something different will happen? The best way is to just leave the secret realm.

This time, however, their team gained absolutely nothing.

The noise from the fireworks naturally attracted the attention of the minotaurs.

Baal immediately started gesturing to the minotaur, indicating that he was about to leave.

At the same time, they are always ready to unleash their Nen energy.

Who knows if these minotaurs will let me leave?

His eyes had already chosen a path; if the minotaur refused, he would erupt instantly.

The same applies to Illumi.

He wouldn't hesitate to use those minotaurs as a threat if anyone dared to stop him.

The Tauren naturally refused Baal and Illumi's request to leave, but did not show any malice.

Instead, they let Baal and the others stay here, continue to teach them, and integrate them into their tribe.

It wasn't until the minotaur leader stood up and persuaded the minotaurs who wanted to stop Baal and Illumi from leaving that the situation was resolved.

He also said something.

But it was enough to make Baal and Illumi's expressions change drastically.

"Is it because it's time? Thank you so much." The Bull Demon King expressed his gratitude to Baal and Illumi.

Moreover, both Illumi and Baal could understand this sentence.

Both of them emitted Nen energy.

"As expected, you are not truly weak; you are indeed messengers of God."

The reason why Baal and Illumi did not flee immediately upon the moment the Bull Demon King exited was because they held back. If they could communicate, they could learn a lot of things.

They wanted to know.

Their curiosity and thirst for knowledge made them endure even when faced with danger.

It has to be said that their behavior is indeed a gamble.

"A messenger of God?" Baal asked.

Are they talking about these adventurers?

"That's right. The marks on your hands signify that you are messengers of God, and only messengers of God can come to this land."

Clearly, this minotaur leader knew some information.

Illumi, however, keenly noticed something different.

As an assassin, I've also learned lip reading, which allowed me to immediately tell that the minotaur leader in front of me wasn't speaking their language.

Rather, it is a certain ability that enables them to communicate with each other and understand each other's meaning.

It sounds like a translation skill, but to Illumi it's absolutely terrifying.

"As a gift from your teachings to us," the minotaur leader said, lightly tapping the ground with his trident.

A black stone appeared.

Illumi and Baal naturally didn't understand what this thing was, but they could both see that it contained aura.

This gift is only for Baal, since Illumi did nothing.

"Stretch out your marked hands."

Sensing that the Minotaur leader meant no harm, Baal and Illumi complied, though they never truly let their guard down.

The steel fork was also lightly tapped on the back of their hands.

Some kind of power was incorporated into the marks on the back of their hands.

What is this?

But the minotaur clearly had no intention of explaining.

"You can leave now, and you'd better leave while you still have enough time, otherwise you might have to stay here."

The minotaur leader also gave a warning.

Baal had many questions he wanted to ask, but the tauren leader clearly had no intention of answering them, and simply had the other tauren lead them away.

Baal and Illumi left with a bellyful of questions.

After entering the forest and reuniting with their companions, their companions were also full of questions.

They also used binoculars to observe the situation within the tribe, and if a battle were to break out, they would intervene immediately.

"This isn't the place to talk, let's leave."

"Is there no problem here? Will they appear outside?" This was what Kahn was worried about.

"I'm not sure either, but probably not?" Despite his uncertainty, Barr had a gut feeling.

The group quickly left.

The previous group of four was already waiting at the entrance to the secret realm.

If things go wrong, they can leave quickly.

Now that Baal has appeared, it seems that this is not the worst-case scenario.

The reason they were so harmonious was because Baal and his team were quite well-known among adventurer groups.

As he was leaving, Barr asked one more question.

"Do you need any help?"

Don't forget that there's a river outside the secret passage.
