Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 157 "Being Tireless in the Cultivation of the Mind"

Everything in the early morning seemed to be dyed with a layer of exaggerated gray.

Kurapika woke up to the sound of birdsong in the oak forest.

He opened his eyes, and the killing last night seemed like a dream, but when he sat up straight, the blanket that had been tightly wrapped around him slipped off, and the cold wind blew by, he finally became more awake.

That was not a dream. The teacher and I solved a group of gangsters on the Twin Bridges and took away the flaming eye.

All the "Yin Beasts" were killed by the teacher.

He looked to the side and saw that the bonfire had extinguished, leaving behind a pool of gray-black embers. There was a jar not far away, and what was in the jar was the floating red eyes.

Whose eyes could those be?

Elder's? Father's? Mother's? Or maybe it's Palo's? Can't tell the difference at all.

Kurapika quietly looked into those still frightened eyes and slowly exhaled.

He has to be patient and calm.

The teacher said last night, "The hunt starting tonight will still be long. Don't let anger, ignorance, and arrogance release the beast in your chest. Use it to integrate into the long night that is coming...".

Kurapika understood that this was meant for him.

He recovered the first pair of flaming eyes, which was a good start, and there were still quite a few flaming eyes lost. This "hunt" was destined to be "long."

You can't burn yourself out at all costs. This is a kind of letdown for the tribe.

The teacher is right, he should focus more on improving his strength now, otherwise on a battlefield like last night, what he can do will be limited after all.

Kurapika picked up the jar containing the red eyes and picked up the suitcase beside him.

He was no longer wearing the clothes of the Kuluta tribe, but a well-fitting black suit, which made him look like a young man carrying an urn to attend a funeral.

There is a reason for this.

Now that most of the gang members in the world are looking for them, the clothes last night were not suitable, so the master and apprentice both changed into black suits.

The teacher's black crow hunter robe and his Kuruta costume were both placed in the suitcase, which was usually carried by Kurapika.

At this point he not only had to carry the suitcase, but also the jar of flaming eyes, but he was more than willing to do it.

His trust and gratitude to his teachers are hard to describe. At present, he can only repay his teachers by doing some small tasks.

Kurapika didn't see any teacher around.

So he walked around the bonfire and followed the sound of rushing water not far away. After walking less than twenty meters, he came to a falling waterfall.

The water fell and spread into fine raindrops in mid-air, gently stroking Kurapika's blond hair.

The teacher is indeed here.

Germain washed his face and stood on the grass that was still a little muddy after the rain, looking at the waterfall, thoughtfully.

"Teacher." Kurapika appeared behind Germain, holding a can and a suitcase, like a waiter, "Should we leave now?"

They moved quite a few places last night and traveled a long distance on foot, finally stopping to rest in an oak forest at two o'clock in the morning.

Thanks to such caution, no gang members from the Ten Old Mans have come to our door so far.

It is normal for the teacher to choose to leave immediately.

"There's no rush." ​​Germain turned to look at him, "Let's do our daily practice first."

The so-called "daily practice", for Kurapika, is the application of "Tang Jue Hair Training Zhou Yin Ning" and "Chain".

Of course, there is no need to say more about "Tangjue Lianfa Zhou Yinning". As for "Chain", it specifically refers to the "Ring Finger Soul Chasing Chain". Kurapika needs to practice it to be able to use it stably and continuously.

"yes."

Kurapika did not question the teacher's decision. He placed the flaming eye jar and suitcase on the grass one by one and prepared to start practicing.

"Wait a minute." German suddenly interrupted him, and he looked over in confusion, "Before that, I want to deepen your understanding of "Qi Qi." "

Kurapika listened quietly.

What the teacher said solemnly is very important, and he has benefited a lot from it, and this is how the results of his practice came from.

"Under "Qi Qi", there are three concepts, namely "maximum Qi Qi", "potential Qi Qi" and "apparent Qi Qi". "

Germain took out a kettle with a transparent body from the suitcase, and tapped the body with his knuckles bent, making a clanging sound.

"You are this kettle. How much water this kettle can hold is the "maximum volume." "

Then, he unscrewed the lid of the kettle, stretched the kettle into the lake formed by the alluvial deposits of the waterfall, filled most of the bottle with lake water, and picked it up to show Kurapika.

"However, under normal circumstances, it is difficult for all those with mental abilities to maintain a full state all the time. The 'water' stored in the 'kettle' is often not full. This is the 'potential energy'. "

Finally, Germain took the kettle, swung it toward the lake, and poured out a puddle of water. It fell with a splash, making small ripples on the lake.

"Similarly, under normal circumstances, those with mind power are unable or unwilling to release all the "mind energy" from their bodies at once, and each time they 'throw out water', it is the "revelation of energy." "

"I'm telling you these concepts. It's actually not difficult to understand. You more or less have your own insights. The reason why I want to emphasize it is because the "ability to read" is inseparable from the practice of "heart". "

"The more thoroughly you understand the various concepts of "Thinking Ability", the higher the upper limit of your "Thinking Ability" will be. "

"Shingenryu is to repeat the boring basic practice over and over again, with gratitude to martial arts, to achieve enlightenment at a certain moment and complete the practice of 'heart'."

"And we are the same, we have the same destination by different paths."

"Hone yourself in actual combat, judge and think in the limit of life and death, abide by your own bottom line and principles, kill the people who deserve to be killed, and seek to understand your thoughts. In this way, you can complete the practice of 'heart'."

"We never rely on anger to overwhelm our opponents, but rely on careful calculation. When necessary, there is no problem in escaping when faced with an opponent who cannot win no matter what."

“The most important thing is to create conditions that are favorable to you.”

"Actually, you now have the foundation to use the "Ring Finger Soul Chasing Chain" and other "chains" stably. You can actually do it. "

"It's just that your understanding of "Qi Qi" is not enough, which leads to the sluggish flow of "Qi Qi" and hinders their formation. "

Kurapika listened to the teacher's instructions while thinking, and a lot of thoughts came to his mind.

"I understand, teacher."

He nodded to the teacher and immediately began to practice, trying to catch those fleeting inspirations.

And when the sun rose three poles, Kurapika did live up to Germain's expectations, and even did better.

His "ring finger soul-chasing chain" became stable, and he transitioned quite naturally to the next stage of practice - the "middle finger binding chain".

Today's "Binding Middle Finger Chain" is certainly not a narrow ability that only targets the "Phantom Troupe". While reducing the binding effect, it also expands the area of ​​attack against more enemies.

Kurapika already understood at this time that his enemies were far more than the "Phantom Troupe", and it was not worth wasting his "psychic power" on a group.

In the afternoon, the two of them left the oak forest and walked towards the mountains.

A moment later, a figure quickly ran into the shadows of the oak forest and stopped in front of the burned-out bonfire.

"Shenhou" Xiyou looked down for a while, then looked in the direction where the master and disciple were leaving.

"You're really cautious." He stroked his furry temples, "I lost track of him several times last night. If it weren't for the resources provided by Palliston, I almost went in the wrong direction."

"But where are they going?"

"Germain can disappear for several months without showing up. There should be a high possibility that he has one or two strongholds. Do you want to go back now?"

"It would be a good thing to go back to the stronghold. If there is another purpose, should I continue to follow?"

"Hey, hey, hey, in the final analysis, the other party is not a good person. If you follow them like this, you will be discovered sooner or later."

"Or, really listen to Pariston's suggestion and contact him directly..."

Immersed in the chaotic thoughts, Xiyou suddenly felt a pinprick of coldness. He was about to jump onto the oak tree next to him, but found that it was too late.

Damn it - it happened so fast - when was I discovered? !

Xiyou sighed, slowly raised his hands, without touching the golden cudgel at his waist, and then slowly turned around to face the firecracker raised by Germain.

Germain looked at Xiyou coldly.

Xiyou observed Germain's expression and pursed his lips.

His "psychic ability" would give him a huge advantage if he could strike first. If he used it now, he might be able to escape danger, but he was not willing to risk his own life.

"Last night," Germain said, "you probably followed me for a while, thus confirming that the radius of my "circle" was only 30 meters. "

"After that, I revealed the "circle" repeatedly in the battle with the "yin beast". You carefully confirmed it many times, and you were quite sure of it, and it couldn't be wrong. "

"So, you have the courage to come to a height with a radius of 45 meters and observe the battle between me and the "Yin Beast" below. "

"It's just that you didn't expect that for a moment my "circle" suddenly reached 50 meters, and then shrank back. "

It turns out that it was exposed at that time.

Xiyou had already reacted quickly and retreated, but Germain still noticed something strange.

I also thought that he had just made a breakthrough, and there were so many people around, so he might not notice me. I didn’t expect him to be so sensitive. He really shouldn’t take any chances...

Xiyou rolled his eyes, and then said calmly: "Don't worry, I'm not your enemy. I am "Shen Monkey" Xiyou, one of the twelve branches of the Hunter Association. "

"I've heard a lot about the rumors about you as the "Fastest One-Star Hunter". President Nitro also likes to praise your talents and talents, so I became interested in you. "

"Last night, I accidentally ran into your conflict with the "Yin Beast". I thought you might need help, so I followed you. Who knew you would be alone..."

"Journey to the West." Germain interrupted, "Let's save the troublesome steps. I don't like troublesome temptations."

"I have been thinking that what happened last night was too coincidental and who would be the mastermind behind it, so I have been waiting for someone to come to me, and finally I waited for you."

In fact, there is a simpler reason for his judgment.

He has seen the future once, and is very clear about one fact - Journey to the West is a person of Pallistone, and Pallistone is a person of Nitro's son Biande.

Biande is plotting to return to the Dark Continent.

Xiyou was stunned for a moment, then laughed hoarsely.

There is really no way... The other party's judgment does not actually require any evidence, and his next answer will determine the future relationship between the two parties.

"Then let's get straight to the point." Xiyou lowered his hands, "Don't point your weapon at me, Germain. Strictly speaking, I am your partner."

From the dialogue in Kurapika's Memories, we know that Kurapika's mother has definitely never been to the outside world, and his father doesn't seem to know much about the outside world. In addition, the Kurapika clan only has more than a hundred people. It is set here that Kurapika's parents are both Kuluta tribesmen, but they are distantly related by blood, so there is no risk of incest.
