Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 202 Contact

"But are they real? The previous Goblin Secret Realm wasn't real," someone asked.

They had never been to that secret realm instance.

However, this instance is the most discussed topic among adventurers.

After all, it was a dungeon where casualties occurred, and the boss was someone that could only be killed by a Nen user.

They don't know any more information, and there may be more hidden information.

"So we need to find a way to try it."

"We don't have much time left." Someone mentioned the countdown timer on the dungeon.

"There's not much we can do, but we have to try. Besides, with our strength, we probably can't defeat them either." Baal had a lot on his mind.

This is clearly more difficult than the rumored Goblin Dungeon; even with their seamless teamwork, it won't be easy to solve.

"Are you planning to join us now?" Baal asked Illumi again.

Illumi nodded.

He had previously thought that if he were to hunt wild animals, there would be no need for all this trouble; he could simply act alone.

But given the current situation, let's just observe. He also agrees with Baal's statement that their group can't handle these "monsters".

First, we need to understand the basic situation of these minotaurs.

They dispersed to observe the area near the tribe.

Baal's group, in particular, had binoculars, which allowed them to see the situation of the minotaur tribe more clearly.

They quickly obtained a lot of intelligence.

First of all, this Minotaur tribe has more than 500 members.

Of course, not all minotaurs are combat-ready.

They also saw some small children, or female minotaurs.

Judging from observation alone, only about a hundred minotaurs were capable of fighting.

They also discovered a being called the "Chief," who was much taller than the other minotaurs, standing over two meters tall and covered in muscles.

Unlike the stone weapons of other minotaurs, his was a steel fork.

Another point of contention arises: through observing the tribe's situation, everything seems so real, yet the trident wielded by the "chief" Minotaur is so incongruous.

It doesn't seem like their product at all.

Furthermore, Nen was also seen in this leader, the minotaur.

Several traps were also found near the tribe.

This means they must possess wisdom.

Finally, they devised a simple plan: the vanguard would drive the wild beasts to see how the minotaurs would respond and make a judgment.

Seeing this, Lucci became cautious.

If they really dare to make a move, given the strength of their team, they would indeed be no match for them, and even Illumi would be in danger.

These fighting minotaurs are all at the level of a level 100 fighter.

Even a child minotaur has the strength of a level 20 or 30, so there are no ordinary people among them.

The leader, a minotaur, is a Nen user, and a powerful one at that, a Enhancement-type user.

Lucci wanted to see how they would respond.

He also noticed that the Holy Grail had opened the second dungeon instance of the day.

This time, it's still a different secret realm dungeon.

The previously seen dungeons were mostly set in various wild environments, where players would face various wild beasts or demi-human monsters.

But this time it's in a modern setting.

And it is also Kerry, a city familiar to many.

To be precise, this instance can be called a post-apocalyptic zombie instance, although there are no real zombies; everything is fictional.

Lucci in a further modified version.

This also serves as a further exposure, telling people that these are all "fake" existences.

Return to the instance where Illumi is located.

After witnessing how the minotaurs killed wild beasts, several members of Baal's group, including the four who couldn't recite the mantra, had second thoughts.

"This is beyond our control; we have no choice but to give up. I'm sorry, everyone."

Of course, they didn't plan to leave the instance. They still wanted to take some things with them, just like going out on a hunting trip.

Moreover, there might be good stuff in this dungeon, after all, it's a ten-player dungeon.

"These minotaurs have their own language, but unfortunately it's not one we know," Baal said regretfully.

When he said that, he was clearly determined to have a discussion.

"Young man, what are you planning to do?" Baal asked Illumi again.

Should they go with them, or leave with the previous four?

"Let me give it a try." Illumi was skilled and daring, and he actually wanted to try it out himself, since he hadn't seen the benefits of the secret realm that Obadiah had mentioned yet.

"You're coming? So how do you plan to make contact?"

"And we don't speak the same language?"

In other words, the current Illumi hasn't developed his abilities yet. If it were the Illumi from the anime, he could probably just try "disguise" himself.

"How is time calculated in the secret realm?" Illumi asked.

The information he saw mentioned very little about time within the secret realm.

However, one thing is clear: it almost always happens during the day, and rarely at night.

Even if it's nighttime outside Kree City, it might be daytime once you enter the instance.

Illumi plans to use his assassination experience to infiltrate and investigate.

There was absolutely no intention to communicate.

"It seems that it's always daytime in the secret realm, with very few nights. Even when night does occur, it's probably because it's a suitable environment for certain wild beasts and monsters within the realm."

Baal was informing Ilmi about the way.

"It's too risky for you to go alone, I'll do it." Baal decided to do it himself.

Perhaps this is also an opportunity.

If it were something that could be communicated with, wouldn't that cause some major changes and alter the current situation of adventurers?

Baal is more inclined to believe that these things are "real".

His teammates naturally supported him.

As for Illumi remaining silent and having no immediate plans to take action, then let's observe and see.

Baal's chosen method was brilliant and simple: first, he hunted a prey, then he lit a fire in the forest near the minotaurs and began roasting the meat.

Illumi looked at Baal with a strange expression when he saw him take out various spices from his backpack.

"Hehe, our boss has won the chef competition many times. He's going to become a gourmet hunter in the future," the member of the team told Illumi with a smile.

A gourmet hunter?

Illumi thought of something.

While grilling the meat, he also used a simple fan he had made to fan the aroma of the grilled meat toward the Minotaur tribe.

Of course, there were definitely people watching the minotaur tribe's reaction in front of them as they roasted their meat.

Depending on the circumstances, they will make different judgments.

Even Lucci, who noticed Baal's behavior, couldn't help but praise him.
