Hunter × Hunter: The Seven Deadly Sins

July 4, 1986, Dark Continent.

As the sun sets in the west, the golden sunset shines on the virgin forest on the southeastern coast of the Dark Continent. It is like putting a golden coat on nature, showing the appearance of "birds and flowers".

squeak~ squeak~

On the top of the towering giant tree, a group of small carnivorous birds that looked like pterosaurs gathered in a flock, spread their fleshy wings, quickly fanned them, and made a loud chirping towards the golden sun as large as a disc.

"Shasha..."

Lifting off the vegetation in front of him, his combat boots stepped on the damp grass, making a subtle sound.

"Hu~hu~"

"How big is this... forest?"

Among Yilu Mi's group, a chubby woman who was holding a cane made of branches wiped the sweat from her forehead and was panting. She was a physicist named Gina, one of four survivors on a team of fifty experts.

Suddenly, her feet slipped and she fell to the ground with a slap.

"Are you OK?"

Hercules stopped and took Gina's hand, but Gina was still squatting on the ground, her sizable chest heaving up and down. Hercules could see that she had reached her limit and could no longer walk.

"Mr. Illumi, Mr. Biyande, let's take a break."

Hercules looked at Illumi and Byand, who were at the forefront of the team, took a deep breath, and shouted.

"Hu~hu~"

After shouting, Hercules himself was out of breath. As an ordinary person, he was almost unable to walk.

"Hey, it's really troublesome."

At the front of the team, Grid glanced at them disdainfully. If it weren't for these few people, they could have walked out of this virgin forest at a faster speed.

"It's almost time, let's set up camp on the spot."

Yilu Mi looked up at the top of his head, the golden sunset shone through the gaps between the towering giant branches in the gloomy and dark virgin forest, bringing a hint of light to the originally gloomy virgin forest.

But this is just an illusion. According to the time in the human world, it is already nine o'clock in the evening, and the night in the Dark Continent will come more suddenly than in the human world.

Often the last moment, the sunset was all over the sky, but the next moment, it was already invisible, and a dark virgin forest made people even more fearful.

Their first night in the Dark Continent was spent in a sea of ​​fire and torrential rain. The large forests around the sea of ​​fire were extremely bright, and there was no darkness.

So, tonight is their first real night in the Dark Continent.

"Pfft..."

Illumi's order was issued, and the Avengers soldiers, as usual, used steel knives to clear the land under their feet, completely removing the dense vegetation around them. So that when everyone is resting, something unclean will drill into their camp.

"Crack."

An avenger rubbed the flint with a steel knife, ignited the firelight collected from the surroundings, put it into the bonfire, and then put a large amount of damp wood into it. The bonfire made a "sizzling" sound and thick white smoke rose. .

"Kakaka..."

Cervantes heard a strange noise and looked around.

He found that the guys called the Avengers took out four cuboids with silver metal long sticks from the big backpack on them and placed them on the ground in the four directions of the south, south, west and north of the camp, which seemed to be building some kind of fortification. .

"What are they doing?"

Cervantes looked at Illumi, who was resting on the ground and was taking out various foods from an Avengers backpack, and asked curiously.

Illumi just glanced at him, didn't answer, unscrewed the kettle, put the mouth of the bottle in his mouth, his throat twitched.

"Uh……"

Cervantes opened his mouth, but had nothing to say. Illumi didn't want to say it, and he couldn't force others.

After Ilumi replenished her water, she looked around and looked around the camp. The things that the Avengers soldiers installed around the camp were a new weapon system developed by their weapons research institute—the long-range sentinel weapon system.

Weapons that can learn or adjust operation at any time according to the changing conditions in the environment in which they are deployed. And can independently search, identify and attack targets without human intervention.

"Om~"

The Avengers released Little Falcon drones to scout around the camp. Through low-light sensors and ultrasonic detection, all the terrain around the camp was transformed into a three-dimensional model and passed into the weapon system and neuro-mechanical helmet. Any changes can be responded to at the first time.

"You just need to know, that's what keeps us safe."

"For example?"

"It can replace humans as sentinels, automatically identifying and attacking all creatures within a hundred meters of the camp."

Seeing that the hunters in Beyonde's team were very concerned about these things, Kim Bradley explained a little.

"That's really... convenient."

When Sergio heard the words, the corners of his mouth twitched.

These guys are carrying a lot of advanced weapons and equipment. Compared with the preparations of their hunters, this group of people is too professional.

"Come on, sit here."

Hercules and Isaac helped the physicist Gina from left to right to sit next to Ilumi and the hunters of Bijande~www.NovelMTL.com~ It hurts. "

Gina took off her boots, and immediately frowned and let out a pained cry. Under the bonfire, blisters appeared on her feet.

"Even if you slow down your speed and only go 60 kilometers a day, the body of an ordinary person can't bear it."

Cervantes looked at the blisters on Gina's feet. Under the bonfire, his expression made Gina a little scared.

"Don't worry, I can handle it."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, another curly-haired woman in the expert team took out a first aid kit from her backpack to deal with the blisters on Gina's feet.

Her name is Tessa, and she is a Ukexin first responder from the United States of Eddie. She originally wanted to join an NGO, but unexpectedly, she came to the investigation team of the Kakin Empire by accident.

"We've been walking for two days, and our daily marching time has reached 17 hours. When will we be able to leave this virgin forest?"

When Tessa helped Gina deal with it, she asked Hercules the question in her heart.

"According to the previous exploration records of the Ozma Federation, this forest is 1,800 kilometers long."

"length?"

"No, it's the width, the length cannot be estimated."

Tessa was dumbfounded when she heard the words. The 1,800-kilometer-wide virgin forest was inestimable in length. In the human world, perhaps only the largest virgin forest can compare with it.

But now, they actually use their own legs to cross this dangerous and vast dark continent virgin forest.
