Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 69 Underground Ruins

"Lord Lucci!" Omar didn't understand what had happened.

But it's speculated that Lucci used Nen ability. What kind of ability is it?

Lu Qi looked up and gestured for the other person not to bother him.

At this moment, his gaze was looking through Phoenix at another space, though it was still unknown whether it was actually another space.

Phoenix was in an unknown place, flames erupting from its body and illuminating the surroundings.

It appeared in a stone forest.

The stone forest is filled with various skeletons and corpses.

Among them were some animal carcasses, and Lucci also saw some human corpses, one of which was a Nen user from the Conrad family.

This stone forest is composed of many stone pillars, and these stone pillars have the character "神" (god) on them.

Lucci could sense that Phoenix's "qi" was being absorbed by the surrounding stone pillars.

A burst of light emanated from Phoenix, forming a ball of light that enveloped him, immediately repelling the force that was absorbing his energy.

This is Phoenix's purifying power, or you could say, the power to expel psychic energy, which can be used to defend against psychic attacks.

This method of absorbing spiritual energy is also a form of malicious spiritual attack.

Can the "divine" character that allows for spatial transfer also absorb spiritual energy?

Lucci also saw some of the words "connection" in them.

And this "malicious intent" seems familiar!

Lucci quickly realized that it was the thought he heard in the fog when he went to Patch Village.

In other words, this place is actually related to Pachi Village, but why are the Pachi people unaware of it?

Lucci, still puzzled, told Phoenix to continue exploring the surroundings.

They quickly flew out of the stone forest.

The thick rock walls above made Lucci wonder if this was the underground of Basen, or some other dimension.

After flying out of the stone forest, there was a large altar with inscriptions on it. Lu Qi could sense the flow of thought within it, indicating that it was in operation.

At the edge of the altar, there was a large, pure white jade disc, which, like a mirror, reflected Lucci.

There seemed to be no danger here. Phoenix landed on the jade wall and then infused it with his thoughts.

Phoenix's psychic energy was injected into it.

The pure white jade disc began to react, and images appeared.

It is a scene in Basen, and according to Phoenix's psychic manipulation, some things in Basen can be seen.

Like a surveillance camera.

The figures of Lucci and Omar appeared on the jade disc.

This strange perspective, yet Lucci found no trace of the surveillance.

As for intuition, unfortunately his martial arts skills haven't reached the point where he'll react when someone is watching him.

After adjusting his direction a few more times, Lucci saw Bisky, the adventure team in Basen, and other hunters and bounty hunters.

Bounty hunters here refer to people who do not have a hunting license but still accept related commissions.

So, is it possible to find that magical beast?

As expected, a figure appeared on the jade wall as Phoenix manipulated it.

Is this an "orc"?

The jade disc revealed a tiger-headed beastman covered in white fur, with numerous wounds and bloodstains on his body.

At this moment, he was on the trunk of a tall tree, using the cat's leaves to hide himself.

The other party is resting.

Then suddenly he opened his eyes and looked behind him.

But nothing was found.

Could he sense it? That was Lucci's first thought.

Lucci quickly accepted the appearance of "beastmen." There were bean-faced people, and individual creatures like the Shadow Beasts in the anime. Although demi-humans were few, they weren't nonexistent.

Then Lucci thought about it.

Since we can see them, can we also see the Patch tribe?

As soon as the idea came to mind, a high-altitude display of Patch Village appeared in the jade disc.

I also realized something: the village of Patch is actually in another dimension.

Instead of manipulating the jade disc, they continued to investigate the situation here.

They soon discovered a stone tablet covered with inscriptions, but unfortunately, they didn't recognize them.

But Lucci knew where the text came from because he had seen it in Patch Village.

As expected, this place is related to Patch Village.

The entire space, apart from the stone forest area which occupies a large area, consists of two altars.

The other altar was not activated, and Lucci had Phoenix try it out, but it didn't work.

I don't know what its purpose is.

There is no way out, which means that entering this place must require a special method. Thinking about spatial travel, it seems that it may be the work of a god with spatial abilities.

Through Phoenix's observations, Lucci had basically figured out some of the situation.

The sudden disappearance of the "devouring" was due to the power of this stone forest, which transferred living things into the stone forest, and the stone forest began to absorb "qi".

Then, the changes here are driven by the absorbed "qi".

The method was somewhat "wicked," but it was enough to surprise and intrigue Lucci.

This method of inhaling "air" has never been seen in any Nen user.

That's a pretty powerful tactic.

Now that the reason has been found out, should we tell the Pachi tribe now?

Judging from the current situation, the Pachi people have clearly also lost some "important information".

It is not unacceptable for a people that has inherited its heritage to lose some ethnic information over time.

Just like Tina, the first examiner of the Hunter Exam, their clan is now largely forgotten.

Phoenix danced in this space.

This place is also valuable to Lucci; the words "god" alone are enough for him to study.

However, let's talk to the Pachi people first and learn more information before proceeding.

Phoenix disappeared into this space.

He appeared in front of Lucci.

Omar was also shocked to see Phoenix suddenly appear; only his pupils showed any change.

"I have a general idea of ​​the situation. Next, I need to talk to your chieftain and priest."

Things went more smoothly than expected, though you could also say that Lucci himself was a bit overpowered.

The spatial capabilities are incredible.

"Really?" Omar asked excitedly.

"Of course, let's go!"

However, Omar did not rush to take Lucci back.

Instead, it jumped into the trees, looked out over Basen, and saw if there was a suitable place nearby.

"Are you looking for fog?" Lucci asked.

These words sent a jolt through Omar; the secret of the Patch tribe had been discovered by outsiders.

"From the moment you brought me into Patch Village, I noticed the change in the fog, which was filled with the presence of Nen."

In other words, fog exists in rainforests where moisture is abundant.

Entry and exit to Pachi Village both require the presence of fog.

Omar jumped down from the tree: "As expected of Lord Lucci, I knew I couldn't hide anything from you."

Fortunately, the chieftain and the priest had told him that it might not be possible to keep it from Lucky and Bisky.

And if we really want to solve the problem, we'll definitely have to come to Patch Village a few more times; we'll find out sooner or later.

However, outsiders cannot enter Pachi village without a Pachi tribesman leading the way.
