Hunter × Hunter: The Seven Deadly Sins

The sun shines on the ground through the gaps between the branches and leaves, bringing a touch of warmth to the humid forest.

But the good times didn't last long. The dark clouds in the sky gradually covered the sun, and dense raindrops fell from the sky, pattering. It hit the vegetation branches, making them have to bend their slender waists.

clatter.

A foot in a combat boot trod the wet grass. Yilumi's expression was serious. Since it rained just now, he always felt that the atmosphere in this forest had changed.

"Be careful, it always feels wrong."

The same was true for Biyang De, who raised his palms to signal everyone to slow down and move forward cautiously.

In front, five Avengers soldiers kept slashing with machetes, clearing away the plants blocking the road so that Illumi and the others could easily pass through.

Soon, a group of fifty people, led by Sami's big ear, came to a river.

"It's a river. I don't know if the water in it is drinkable."

Virus hunter Sophia squatted by the river, took out an ampoule from her backpack, put on disposable protective gloves, and submerged the ampoule into the water in her hand, and put it away when it was about a third full.

"check."

Illumi looked to the left. On Sloss's burly body, a lovely-looking lady was sitting on his shoulders dangling her legs.

Didi...

After receiving the order from Illumi, Pride took out a tablet from the giant backpack behind Sloss, and tapped his fingers on the screen.

Boom!

An Avenger soldier stepped directly into the river, bent down and picked up some river water with one hand, bowed his head and stood there in a daze.

At this time, in the screen of the ranger's neuromechanical helmet, the analysis data of the river water is constantly changing, and it is finally confirmed as Class I water quality, which is water quality that has not been polluted in any way.

"Class I water quality, drinkable."

While responding to Illumi, Pride flicked his finger on the screen to bring the Avengers soldiers back to shore.

puff!

However, when the Avengers soldier returned to the shore, he paused, raised his rifle with a silencer installed, and fired a shot at the river under his feet.

The gunshot immediately attracted the attention of Biyang De and the others, looking at the river at the foot of the Avenger soldier, looking vigilant.

Puff puff……

But then the Avengers fired continuously towards the water, emptying a clip in just five seconds. The Avengers quickly replaced the clips and were about to continue shooting...

"Let him come up, don't waste bullets."

Illumi ordered that he had already seen what was in the water. Although the Avenger had a lot of ammunition in his backpack, there was no need to waste ammunition on this kind of thing.

Under the control of Pride, the Avenger soldiers ignored the attack from the water and walked directly back to the shore.

Only then did the crowd see a dozen hideous-looking fish biting fiercely on the Avenger's thick calf. After landing, the Avenger pulled out the steel knife at his waist.

laugh!

Dao Dao flashed, and all the fish biting on the leg were cut into two pieces, the back half fell to the ground, but the half of the mouth was still bitten in the calf.

The Avengers soldiers slapped them to the ground one by one with the back of their swords.

"Is this a piranha?"

A man in a peaked cap crouched down next to the Avenger, pulled a dagger from his calf, and poked at the piranha that had been cut in two.

"But it seems to be a mutant variety."

The man in the peaked cap is named Shepard, and he is an ocean hunter in Bibend's team, specializing in the study of various marine exotic and mutated creatures.

He took out a bottle from his backpack and put the mutated piranha corpse that was broken in two on the ground into it, intending to take it back for research.

"How to cross the river? Should we clean up the piranhas first, or just cross the river like this?"

The man in the peaked cap stood up and looked at Billand.

"Don't worry about it, it's just some piranhas. The army will find a way to deal with it."

Bi Yangde rubbed his chin, they are the pioneer investigation team, and there is an investigation team of thousands of people behind them, but even so, it is not necessary for them to solve such small troubles.

After finishing speaking, Biyangde also looked at Illumi and Kim Bradley.

"Let's go."

While Yilumi was speaking, the figure blurred and flashed, and appeared directly on the opposite river bank with a "swish".

"So fast."

Biyangde's expression was concentrated, but as soon as he finished speaking, the figure of Sloss beside him disappeared instantly, and appeared on the opposite river bank. And Pryde, who was still sitting firmly on his shoulders even at this speed.

"Hey, he's fast, why is that big guy so fast!?"

Sergio, with shoulder-length white hair, pointed at Illumi twitchingly, and then pointed at Sloss who appeared opposite him, and twitched at the corner of his mouth.

The rest of the team also opened their mouths, looking stunned.

Boom!

While he was complaining and others were amazed, the Avengers soldiers jumped up one by one, and with the help of the power of the human body's auxiliary prosthetic limbs, they easily crossed the five-meter-wide river.

Kim Bradley and Grid also jumped across the river at the same time.

"Fuck, what kind of monsters are these?"

Sergio complained again, even though he was carrying such a large supply backpack on his body, he was able to jump several meters high with a single jump, which made him a little impressed.

"It's probably because of those human-assisted prosthetics on them."

Cervantes looked at the mechanical skeletons on the Avengers. He knew about this kind of thing before, but they were all ordinary human auxiliary prosthetics, used to help disabled people walk normally.

"But the auxiliary prosthetic limbs on these guys may already be able to be used as a simple version of a powered exoskeleton."

Cervantes' eyes were a bit complicated. He looked at Illumi and Kim Bradley on the other side of the river. With such advanced technology and weapons and equipment, what is the origin behind them?

Although their identities had been confirmed in the previous meeting, he felt that there was still a layer of fog floating over Yilumi and the others, making it difficult to figure out.

Bi Yangde and others jumped over the river one by one and continued to move forward.

Probably because it was still near the coastline, a group of fifty people walked for about 20 minutes without encountering any dangerous creatures, until they came to an area full of colorful flowers.

Whether it's the ground, the surrounding vegetation, or even the thick tree trunks, there are all kinds of brightly colored flowers blooming, extending to the top that they can't see.

"It's strange, isn't it? There is a sea of ​​flowers in the primeval forest?"

A man looked at the sea of ​​flowers in front of him with a smile on his face. Although he was laughing, he didn't dare to step into it with a single step.

"These flowers look strange."

At this time, a black-haired woman stepped forward to observe these flowers, put on gloves and touched them, opened the flowers to look at the stems and rhizomes below them, and even stepped into the sea of ​​flowers.

"Why?" someone asked.

"They all look different."

The black-haired woman named Natalie is a biologist hunter in Bijandre's team. Her research field is the life cycle of cells, genetics, and genes.

She lifted the flowers as she walked, examining the stalks and rhizomes beneath them. Suddenly, Natalie lifted the underside of the flower and turned sideways to let her companions see clearly.

"Look at these flowers. You wouldn't say they are the same species. But they are on the same branch. But then they must be the same species, the same plant."

It turned out that there were no rhizomes under those flowers at all, and some were just branches, just like grafting.

"It feels like they're constantly mutating."

Natalie shook her head, squatted down and carefully observed the flowers and branches, her eyebrows were tightly frowned.

"Is it a sickness?"

Illumi walked past him and asked casually.

"This..."

While Natalie was speaking, she snapped a flower off the branch. There were eight petals in total, and each petal had several different colors, such as blue, purple, dark purple, black, etc. .

"If it happened to a human, you would definitely think it was a pathology."

Natalie snapped off a petal and put it in her backpack, got up and continued to move forward.

I don't know how long I walked.

Da da da……

Yilumi and his group stopped in their tracks for a moment, and looked back sideways, with serious expressions on their faces.

"The gunshots came from where we were passing."

Kim Bradley frowned, and Illumi looked flat. Glid, on the other hand, looked excited. He walked along the road in a flat manner, and he couldn't hold back his temper for a long time.

Zizi~

At this time, there was a whistling sound from their headsets, followed by Captain Olsen's voice.

"Be careful, the sea of ​​flowers will move, and they will attack us!"

Yilumi and Biyangde were shocked, but at the same time, there was a doubt in their hearts, why they were not attacked?

ten minutes ago...

The survey team of thousands of people in the rear passed this area slowly, and they followed the place where Yilumi and others passed by, and proceeded cautiously.

"These flowers are very interesting."

In the team of experts, a doctor whose age was visually estimated to be about thirty-five years old squatted down and touched the flowers under his feet with his gloved fingers.

"be careful."

"It doesn't matter. Since the Pioneer Investigation Team has chosen this path, it means that there is no problem with these flowers."

Someone next to him reminded him, but he shook his head with a chuckle, took out a jar from his backpack, gently snapped off a petal, and put it into the jar.

clatter...

And just as he was putting the petals into the jar, there was a sudden movement in the peaceful sea of ​​flowers, and a large number of branches moved secretly along the ground.

"careful!"

A soldier in charge of protecting the doctor shouted and pulled the trigger behind the doctor, and the muzzle burst into flames.

Da da da……

The intensive gunshots frightened the doctor to kneel on the ground with his headshot in both hands, not daring to move.

"what!"

Suddenly, a scream sounded.

The doctor looked up subconsciously, and saw that the soldier who shot at him earlier had a large number of vine branches covered with flowers, and the branches severely strangled the soldier's neck, hands and feet.

boom.

The soldier who was tightly entwined by the branches and vines could not control his body balance and fell to the ground.
