Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 37 The Oasis of God

The Hunter Exam is not held continuously; candidates are given time to rest.

The exam locations are also different, requiring airship travel.

Of course, the two test locations will not be on two different continents.

Meanwhile, Lu Qi was also heading deeper into the oasis.

The Oasis of God!

There must be some secret behind being called that.

Lu Qi had initially wondered if there might be any dangerous creatures in this oasis.

But they soon discovered that this oasis contained only ordinary creatures, completely different from the desert creatures outside.

It's simply unbelievable.

Wouldn't desert creatures come here to hunt?

In the heart of the oasis is a small lake, and in the center of the lake is an island.

There is a tall oak tree on the island.

Lucci immediately noticed the unusual thing about the oak tree.

The feeling wasn't obvious before, but now Lucci's vision is fully able to see that the tall oak tree is emitting a powerful green "aura".

What Lucci had sensed earlier originated from this green oak tree.

Near the lake, many animals were drinking water, and the scene was very peaceful.

Of course, this peace was soon disrupted by some candidates, some of whom went to drink water, while others went hunting to prepare for dinner.

Tina, who was the examiner, had already jumped into the lake and was swimming towards the island in the lake.

Lucci was very interested in the oak tree.

They headed directly towards the island in the lake.

That's right, it's walking, walking directly on the water.

It wasn't that Lucci was using Nen as chakra; after all, they are two different powers.

Lucci was able to do this because Nen itself has special effects, though it can't be done as easily and steadily as chakra.

However, it can remain on the water surface for a certain period of time, just like staying suspended in the air after jumping.

Lucky's Moonwalk technique can also be used on water, and it would be even more convenient.

The way it's presented is like stepping on water.

All the examinees who were resting by the lake were looking towards Lu Qi's position.

In contrast, the examiners swam in the lake.

Is this even human?

The same thought popped into the minds of all the test takers.

Tina, sensing the fluctuation of Nen energy, immediately stopped what she was doing and looked towards Lucci's location.

Then he saw Lucci walking on the water and looked shocked.

Besides being shocked that Lucci was walking on the water, there was also the direction Lucci was heading.

Of course, it was soon clear that Lucci was adept at using Nen and had complete control over his strength.

Although Lucci is already being overestimated, it's clearly not enough.

Tina stopped swimming. If Lucci could do it, she could do it too.

After several attempts, it is possible to walk and move around in the water.

And it's not long-lasting enough.

Walking freely on water like Lucci is not easy.

As Lucci passed by, he asked, "There must be some special significance here. Won't what you're doing disrupt the peace here?"

Tina is a local, and this place is also known as the Oasis of the Gods.

Lucci wondered if it had some special meaning.

"You can see God!" Tina asked incredulously.

Can you see God?

Lucci looked ahead at the islands and oak trees.

Can't others see it?

"How is this possible? Even if you use the Condensation technique, you couldn't possibly see through it." Tina looked incredulous.

This is indeed a special place.

According to the Hunter Association's records, this place can actually be considered a "secret realm".

This oasis is not fixed in the Vita Desert; its location changes every so often.

You could say this oasis is "alive".

This place was once an oasis, not a desert. But somehow it slowly turned into a desert.

Tina, on the other hand, is a descendant of a tribe that once lived in this oasis.

They are known as the "Green Spirits".

The oak tree is the sacred tree of their tribe.

Of course, as the oasis turned into a desert, the humans who once lived on this land naturally had to migrate, and Vita City on the outskirts of the city can be considered one of their former settlements.

As time went by, the Green Spirits largely disappeared from history. They didn't become extinct, but few people identified themselves as members of the Green Spirits.

Instead, they came into contact with people from the outside world and gradually forgot about this history.

The legends and stories about this still exist in the city of Vita.

Few people know about this oasis city of Vita.

Tina, on the other hand, only learned of the existence of this divine oasis when her father brought her here when she was a child.

Of course, this oasis is not a secret to the Hunter Association and some hunters.

At first, Tina didn't think it was a big deal.

But she soon realized something was wrong, because the Hunter Association, including some hunters she knew, were unable to find the island in the middle of the lake.

Even if you wanted to get close, you couldn't.

It's as if you can't get close to someone unless you can see them.

This place was then defined as a secret realm.

It was through the Hunter Association that Tina learned that there are many magical places in this world, and that the Oasis of God is not the most magical one.

Or rather, it's just average.

Finally, through Tina's examination, it was determined that only those who are descendants of the Green Spirit Clan can see the existence of the God.

Now Lucci can also see.

Could it be that he has the bloodline of the Green Spirit Clan?

"It seems quite mysterious!" This piqued Lucci's interest even more, and he continued walking forward.

Then it disappeared into the mist.

That's right, in the eyes of the test takers, the center of the lake was obscured by mist.

As for Lucci, he merely set foot on an island in the middle of the lake.

The air became extremely fresh, and with each breath, I felt all the fatigue in my body disappear.

The island in the lake is not very large.

Apart from a tall oak tree, there were no other trees.

There are also some plants and flowers on the island.

It had a unique fragrance, but unfortunately, Lucky wasn't a botanist and couldn't recognize what these flowers and plants were.

He simply walked toward the oak tree.

This oak tree is about thirty meters tall.

From Lucci's perspective, the oak tree is constantly "breathing," and the air is constantly flowing, drifting into the distance, and then disappearing.

There were also some acorns growing on the tree.

This oak tree must have some magical properties.

Lucci walked over and stroked the oak tree.

Then a surprising scene unfolded: the oak tree's energy connected with Lucci's body, and his pores were activated very slowly.

In other words, Lucci has achieved some success in training his Iron Body technique and has become extremely sensitive to his body.

Otherwise, this change would not have been noticed.

This was enough to shock Lucci, because this might be the third way to awaken Nen, and it was so harmless that it didn't require arduous training.
