Gourmet Hunter - Chapter 477 (Patreon)

Chapter 477: This Blame is Thrown to the Dark Continent

Maybe it's the extremely high temperature that can even vaporize smoke that caused the black cat to be injured, and it's a serious burn.

"Are you okay?"

Luo squatted down and looked at the black cat's red bottom and the remaining small section of its tail, making it look like a short-tailed cat.

A real case of a burning butt.

Luo thought sympathetically to himself.

"Will this be okay?"

The black cat glared fiercely at Luo. Who knows what that magma bird was, being able to injure him in his smoke state, making it seem like a Nen ability.

To recover, he would have to expend at least 20% of his reserve Nen, which was a huge loss.

Thinking of this, the black cat gritted his teeth and directed the reserved Nen in his body towards his butt and tail.

Luo quietly watched the black cat in the Nen aura field. In just a moment, he saw the black cat's burn heal visibly, and the remaining section of the tail regrow.

After the injury healed, the black cat's slightly twisted facial features relaxed.

He staggered to his feet, looked at Luo, and shouted, "I don't care, you have to compensate me with 200 pages!"

"Why?" Luo asked calmly.

The black cat's eyes widened, his fur bristled, and he shouted, "You kicked me down, and made me look at some ghostly pattern, causing me to lose so much Nen. This is a work injury, understand? A work injury! So you have to compensate!"

"Oh." Luo took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and smiled, "You said it's a work injury? Where?"

The black cat was stunned, looked back at his already healed butt, his mouth twitched slightly, then looked at Luo angrily, "You're trying to renege!?"

"You're clearly talking nonsense with your eyes open, what can I renege on?" Luo shrugged.

"You!"

The black cat's expression changed, and suddenly felt very aggrieved.

Luo looked at him seriously, "A work injury, do you want me to get you some insurance or something?"

"Go away, don't expect me to help you in the future." The black cat said angrily.

"Alright, alright, I'll consider your request carefully."

Luo waved his hand, no longer paying attention to the black cat, turned around and walked a few steps, and once again came to the volcano's edge, looking down at the unknown life form in the magma.

Its shape was like a bird, with intelligence, very much like a fire element in fantasy games.

From the forest at the foot of the mountain, to the stone tablet halfway up, to the divine characters on the volcano's ground, it was to restrain this fire element bird in the magma?

Although it was a guess, it was the only explanation for now.

It was unknown who set up such a large project of divine characters, and there were also the powerful life-force "ground skin" plants from the Dark Continent and the unknown life form in the magma.

Such a small Whale Island actually hides such secrets.

With all these discoveries, if someone told Luo that Whale Island was a living whale hundreds or even thousands of years ago, he might believe it. If it was a super-giant turtle island, it would be even more believable.

The black cat looked at Luo standing at the edge, really wanting to kick him into the volcano, but could only think about it.

At this moment, he saw Luo's right hand gathering Nen, quickly stood beside him, watching as Luo raised his hand, condensed a Qi Slash, and threw it at the magma bird.

The Qi Slash spun quickly, cutting a clean path through the volcanic smoke, slicing through the magma bird's long neck, passing through it, then slanting into the magma, disappearing silently.

The magma bird's head was severed, turning into liquid and falling into the magma pool, but its body remained, with the feather-like substance on its surface unchanged.

Luo watched this scene silently, and suddenly, the severed neck of the magma bird gathered a heap of magma, quickly forming a bird-shaped head.

At the same time, the restored magma bird kept churning, frantically jumping up, as if displaying its anger. However, its lower body was tightly connected to the magma pool, being pulled down after jumping three or four meters.

"Can it recover? It's somewhat similar to the Void."

Luo stroked his chin, knowing nothing about such elemental life forms. Even with the knowledge he accumulated in the Hunter world, he couldn't find a suitable explanation. To put it another way, would there be living creatures in such a harsh environment like a magma pool?

But thinking again, if the World Tree could take root in mountains and use magma as nourishment, then it's not surprising for creatures to live in magma, although it's still uncertain whether this magma bird is a living creature.

In short, any unexplainable phenomena and creatures could only be attributed to the Dark Continent.

The more he came into contact with the Dark Continent, the clearer a certain feeling became, and he could clearly see an absolute boundary.

If the six continents of the world were the real world, then the Dark Continent could be called a fantasy world. In such a place, it wouldn't be surprising to see anything.

Humans are far inferior to Chimera Ants that can evolve limitlessly, so the Dark Continent is an unknown, magical, and extremely dangerous place for humans.

However, hunters with adventurous spirits regard it as a sacred place to pursue.

Luo also wanted to go to the Dark Continent. He didn't need those harsh qualifications, but to go there, at least the average Nen value should exceed 80%.

To put it further, at least he should be able to defeat Netero. After all, Netero didn't even cross the threshold of the Dark Continent back then.

"This thing is not Void, it's completely untouchable, otherwise, I could use the White Smoke Font to investigate."

Looking at the raging magma bird, Luo sighed softly, condensed a Nen bullet that consumed less, shot it out, blowing off the upper half of the magma bird.

After a while, the magma bird restored itself, showing extreme anger, but its wings were like decorations, jumping around like a rooster, to no avail.

After several rounds of entanglement, besides showing the magma bird's function as a target, there were no other gains.

Luo thought for a moment, decided not to waste any more time.

He would wait for Ging to come and then make plans. The divine characters found along the way must not be touched, as they were likely restraining the elemental unknown bird in the magma pool.

He originally wanted to take a large piece of "ground skin" back for research.

That was a product of the Dark Continent, appearing to be a type of plant, containing a considerable life force, perhaps usable as a medicinal herb for extending life.

"Let's go."

Luo greeted the black cat, sprinted, and jumped into the forest below.

The black cat didn't leave immediately, glared at the raging magma bird below, and considering that it wasn't worth wasting Nen, picked up a stone, threw it at the magma bird, then turned and left, following Luo.

One person and one cat jumped from the top of the volcano, landing unscathed in the forest, avoiding the descent process.
