[Hunter Doujin] Journey

【5】

This night, because of the special location, both Xiaojie and Ed slept in the dark.

When it was daylight, Ed got up.He had thick dark circles under his eyes, but he didn't dare to act rashly, because the sleeping place Xiaojie chose for them was very special.

It's at the top of a building, the highest point.In Xiaojie's cognition, since if there is light, it is likely to attract monsters, so the rest must be a place without light.However, the smell will also attract those monsters, so it is better to choose a high place, at least to block those monsters that cannot climb or fly.

In fact, it was difficult for Ed to fall asleep this night, not only because the sleeping place was very narrow, but also because he finally fell asleep, and he would be awakened by the sound of fighting between Xiaojie and the monsters after some time.Under the hazy moonlight, Ed could only lie on the place where he was sleeping and not move around, so as to prevent him from falling into the mouth of the monsters surrounding them if he rolled over.

"Hey, it's a good thing you can still fall asleep under such circumstances." Ed saw Xiaojie beside him waking up sleepily, and couldn't help but touch his bandaged wound with some sighs.

"Good morning, Ed."

Seeing Xiaojie's face soon became full of vitality, Ed was not immune to its influence, and replied with a smile:

"Good morning."

When both of them were able to get down to the ground smoothly, Xiaojie's body was already covered with the blood of many monsters.

"You are really amazing." Ed sighed again.

"Hey, I'm also a hunter after all." Xiaojie scratched his head in embarrassment. "However, they are all better than me." Looking at it this way, one day I will be completely abandoned.An insurmountable distance was opened in terms of strength by his former partners.

"Aren't you going to engage in such dangerous hunter activities in the future?" Ed asked looking at Xiaojie who was pursing his lips.

"The monsters I encounter now, I can deal with them without using thoughts; but the real professional hunters are far more powerful than me, and they will be stronger." Having said that, Xiaojie clenched his fists tightly. .

"It's amazing..." Ed murmured softly. "No wonder my grandson always talks about becoming a hunter."

"Eh, Ed's grandson?"

"Yeah, he's a brat about your age, and he's been very naughty all day long. Maybe the hunter exam is over by now." Speaking of his grandson, Ed's expression was a little soft. "I don't know if it was brushed down or not."

Looking at Ed beside him, Xiaojie also laughed.After that, they continued to search for Rodel's herbal medicine, but they didn't see any trace of it except for the danger.

"It's not anywhere. It seems that it might be hidden in these buildings." Ed walked behind Xiaojie, drawing a map of the route they traveled in the entire Parfit ancient ruins based on his impression. .

With a soft 'bang' sound, Xiaojie's body tilted and fell to the ground.

"Xiaojie!" Ed wanted to help Xiaojie up.

"Don't come to Ed! Stay away from me first!"

I saw a lot of scale-like things sticking out of Xiaojie's legs.After the eyes of Ed and Xiaojie met, Ed immediately ran to the nearby building, and he couldn't add trouble at this time.

With the sound of heavy footsteps from far to near, another strange-looking monster appeared.

"Ah!" Xiaojie made a surprised voice, she stared dumbfounded at the monster that gradually appeared.

It looked like a dragon, but the two horns on the top of its head were... the Rodel herb she was looking for!And this weird animal was covered in cyan scales, and its four claws were very small.

When it showed its full appearance, its whole body swelled up, and at the same time, the scales all over its body stood up, and as the body quickly returned to its original shape, dozens of scales flew towards Xiaojie.

Barely staring at the ground with his uninjured foot, but in order to keep his body from being injured to a minimum, Xiaojie waved his left hand to resist the attack of those scales.When she landed again, scales were stuck on her right leg and left hand, and the wounds looked hideous and bloody.

"Well." [It really hurts a bit. ]

Xiaojie looked at the monster and began to think quickly in his heart.

When the monster swelled up again, she immediately chose to hide behind a pillar, and when she heard the sound of the monster approaching her, she kicked the pillar up, then picked it up before the pillar fell down, and immediately After the rotation of the monster, after seeing the location of the monster——

"Ahhhhhhh!" He slammed the pillar on the monster.In an instant, the entire pillar turned into rubble, and hit her in the direction of her by the reaction force.But the monster didn't seem to be affected, and immediately bit her.

Xiaojie reacted very quickly, supporting the monster's head with his big hands, and a goat kicked it, using this force to distance himself from the monster again.

All this happened so quickly that when Xiaojie landed safely, the gravel had just been scattered around.

[These scales appear to have high defense. ]

Picking up the undiscarded scales in his hand, Xiaojie made up his mind, and began to stretch his hands into his pockets.Then he ran towards a pillar again, "—Moo!" The monster made a sound like a cow, and then came towards her again, puffing up his whole body.

[It's now! ]

Pushing the pillar vigorously towards the monster, Xiaojie quickly stepped onto the pillar and came behind the monster under the cover of the pillar.The scales held tightly in the right hand, following Xiaojie's focused gaze, swept across the air with one hand, and the scales shot out 'crawling', accurately stuck in the gap where the monster's reverse scales were exposed.

"—Moo!" There was another howl, obviously this time the other party felt pain.

"It's not over yet." Xiaojie who landed was holding a fishing line in his hand.

Just now, after she thought that the flesh under the scales might be a weakness, she recalled the previous battle with Hisoka in the Sky Arena, and the [flexible love] used by Hisoka also made her suffer so much , So she took out the fishing line in her pocket, used the sharp part of the same tough scale to make a hole, and then let the fishing line bind two of the scales.

Holding one side of the fishing line with his left and right hands, Xiaojie, who was behind the monster, immediately ran towards the monster while the monster retracted his body in pain.When her feet stepped on the monster, the scales stood up again, and the monster was about to attack her.

Xiaojie calmly, while using the force of his feet, the hands holding the thread on the left and right exchanged directions, and turned a somersault in the air in the shape of a cross in front of him.

As she landed, the monster in front of her attacked her.But Xiaojie didn't run away, and didn't hesitate. After seeing the fishing line on both sides of the horns on the top of the monster's head, he pulled back with his crossed hands on his chest, like scissors, and followed a dozen or so broken into the monster's body. Blood spurted from the scales of the monster, and the monster's horns fell from its head.

"—Moo!!!" There was a roar, and the monster rushed towards it.

At this moment, Xiaojie was lying on the ground covered in blood. When the monster approached, it jumped forward as if it wanted to step on Xiaojie with the power of its feet, and trampled her to death.

But as Xiaojie exchanged the position of the fishing line with his hands, before the monster's feet hit the ground, Xiaojie held back the pain, arched his feet and opened the monster's feet, facing the bloody mouth, and then——Holding his hands hard! ! !Before the mouth approached him, the movements of his hands became more rapid, and his hands drew a large circle in front of his eyes, including the monster's mouth. As he exhausted his whole body strength, the flesh and blood spurted out.

"—Hmm!" His face was almost flushed, his brows were about to be knit together, the fishing line tightly strangled the monster's body, and also caused a scar on Xiaojie's hands.But between life and death, even if she had to cut off her hands, she would not hesitate!

In the picture, the monster shook his head several times, trying to get rid of the fishing line, and finally fell down weakly. At the same time, Xiaojie arched his body before, rolled backwards and narrowly escaped the danger of the monster falling to the ground.

Ed was dumbfounded watching from the sidelines, what happened just now was a fight to the death.

"Little...Xiaojie?" After confirming that the monster fell to the ground, Ed ran towards Xiaojie.

"Well——Ed, give it a final blow." Xiaojie, who was lying on the bloody water, said with difficulty with his face sideways.

"Ah? Oh oh oh." He looked nervously at the monster over there.

"Between the eyes." Xiaojie reminded Ed, "It will be less painful."

After listening to Xiaojie's words, Ed closed his eyes, then looked at the monster between the eyes based on his impression, and stabbed the dagger fiercely.Opening his eyes again, he could still see the unwilling eyes of the monster. Such a scene shocked Ed a little.

"Cough, cough, cough." The coughing sound behind him brought Ed back to his senses again.

"It's okay, Xiaojie." He immediately helped Xiaojie on the ground, and after seeing her injury clearly, his whole body was trembling.

"Rodel's herbs." Xiaojie pointed to the horns on both sides of the ground that she had broken off before.

"Stay here and don't move, I'll pick it up right away." After placing Xiaojie on a wall and leaning against it, Ed immediately picked up the Rodel herbs on the ground.

"I didn't expect it to be such a thing." When I held it in my hand, I could still feel the warmth of this thing.I thought it was a soft plant at first, but I didn't expect it to be a strange thing growing on the monster.

"Let's leave quickly, it will be troublesome when other monsters come." Ed wanted to leave immediately with Xiaojie.

"No, don't be in a hurry. You take out your dagger, and the scales I tied the fishing line with. Kekeke——" Xiaojie coughed up a lot of blood again, and she was like a bloody person at this moment. "We need weapons. Now I will face many battles if I want to go back like this."

"Ah, good." Giving the herbs in his hand to Xiaojie, Ed immediately returned to the monster and got busy.

"It's okay Ed, I'll be fine, you don't have to worry so much." Noticing Ed's terrified look, Xiaojie comforted him, "I've suffered worse injuries than this before, but I'm still fine."

Xiaojie's words made Ed stop all his movements. After he took all the things back in silence, he walked in front of Xiaojie with his head down.

"Ed? Why do you—" Before Xiaojie finished speaking, he felt himself being hugged by Ed. "What's wrong?" Xiaojie asked puzzled.

But the warm and moist things fell on her body. Different from the cold body and hot and humid blood, hot liquid kept falling from the top of her head.

Ed didn't reply to her, but just hugged Xiaojie tightly, feeling very sad and very sad in his heart.

[He is just a 12-year-old child, what kind of life should he have to make him such a strong person. ]

[It must be such a brutal battle and experience that he will get used to being injured, and it doesn't matter what the injury is. ]

"Little Jie, will you still fight after that? Will you still fight if you turn back into a boy?"

"Well, I don't know, I might go back to Whale Island."

"That's it." Letting go of Xiaojie, Ed wiped the tears from his face.Under Xiaojie's puzzled gaze, he continued: "I think this is pretty good, and there's nothing wrong with being an ordinary person."

Xiaojie didn't reply directly to Ed, but thought for a while and then looked at Ed and asked.

"Is Ed afraid I'll get hurt?"

"Maybe in your world, such fighting and danger are commonplace." After thinking about it, Ed decided to express his thoughts. "But after I regarded you as a friend, seeing that you were injured so badly, really..."

"I understand." With Ed's support, Xiaojie walked into a building. "Actually, I've thought about this too."

"During the last battle with Peter, I was fully prepared to give up my life, but Qi Ya's shout made me have to stop all actions and choose to live."

"At that moment, I realized that I was also very important to others... In fact, I also regretted my life. I owed so much to others, and I would never die easily." Saying this, Xiaojie sat down Get down and start pulling out the scales on your body one by one. "But as long as you fight, you can't avoid being injured or dying in battle. What else can I do for him if I don't read it now? I don't know, but it's obviously his greatest hope for me to survive."

After pulling out all the scales on his body, Xiaojie's entire face looked extremely pale.

"I won't let Chiya show that expression again, so I will live on, I can't die. And there are many people who care about me and care about me. Leorie cried at the time, but fortunately no Someone tell Aunt Mitt, otherwise she must be worried..."

"In this case, perhaps, it is best for me not to carry out any hunter activities." Xiaojie looked outside the building, and there seemed to be something flying in the distance. "After all, I can't help them anymore. I can only choose to do what I can do now. As for what it is..." Xiaojie thought for a while, and then said with a smile on his pale face, "Now If you think about it, maybe traveling with Ed, maybe you will get the answer from it."

……

On the other side, Pallstone and King stayed overboard.

"What are you doing?" Jin watched Pallistone walking towards him, and instinctively knew that he was in trouble again, although he was not worried at all that he couldn't solve it.

"It's a pity to hear that your son can no longer use his mind ability. It seems that he will not become an excellent professional hunter in the future." Pallis looked at Jin with a regretful expression. "Father is obviously a powerful hunter, but as a son, he can't even use his thoughts."

"...You guys are really boring." After watching Pallstone's expression for a while, Jin curled his lips impatiently.

"Ah, maybe not even a son now."

"what?"

Pallstone just turned around and left without continuing to reply to Jin.Watching Pallstone's leaving figure, Jin's expression gradually became serious.

"This guy seems to have attacked Xiaojie." As the person with the most similar thoughts, Jin quickly guessed what Pallstone might have done.

So he immediately took out his mobile phone, and when he found that Xiaojie had called him, he called back.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is not in the service area." The other end of the phone was not connected.
