In this crossover anime/manga series, my romantic choices in my head are a bit strange.

It spat out small pebbles one by one. At first, Lin Tian didn't know what it meant. But when he got a closer look, he saw that the spat-out pebbles were all piled up in one place, stacked together in a regular pattern, like some kind of writing.

“But I don’t understand,” Lin Tian said. “How about this: if the answer is yes, you shake it once; if the answer is no, you shake it five times, okay?” The cave miraculously shook. There’s hope!

Although he was puzzled that He could understand his language but he couldn't understand His meaning, Lin Tian continued:

"There are other living people... Can you teleport them over? If you can, shake once; if not, shake five times."

He trembled three times. Lin Tian frowned and tentatively asked, "Is there a condition for teleportation?"

It shook five times.

"He doesn't understand us?" He shuddered five times. "...He's dangerous?" He shuddered once.

Lin Tian pondered for a while, and just as he was about to give up on meeting this dangerous person, the space trembled a few more times.

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

Lin Tian was puzzled. The cave kept shaking, as if it was pointing to some place, and it kept shaking three times a day.

A thought flashed through my mind:

"Some creatures are dangerous, and some are not?" I shuddered.

That's it! How could there only be one living person in such a huge dungeon? "Then can you teleport it here? Even if I can't understand its language, I can communicate with it using graphics."

The cave began to tremble irregularly again. Lin Tian analyzed the situation and raised various questions, finally clarifying the current situation: there was more than one living person in this underground city. It could teleport a docile and communicative creature over, but this creature was currently in danger. It was fighting the marked dangerous person, and the teleportation would bring both of them over.

Furthermore, He disliked both of them and did not want Lin Tian to meet them.

“I will protect you!” Che Huiyi said earnestly, “This strange underground city…”

"If we let this go unchecked, it could very well become the next Jeju Island!"

Jeju Island.

This is a major turning point in the entire Hunter x Hunter storyline, and most of the story revolves around it. Its special feature is that an S-rank portal appeared on the island.

The Korean Hunter Association, in conjunction with many S-rank hunters, launched several raids, but all ended in disastrous failure, resulting in huge casualties, with even S-rank hunters tragically dying.

For the government, every S-rank hunter is an irreplaceable and invaluable asset. After suffering such a blow, the South Korean government, fearing further losses in combat power, halted the recapture campaign and isolated the island from the world, hoping to starve the ants to death.

I'm starving!

The top S-rank hunters were in agony, desperately hoping to avenge their previous defeat. They had been preparing for the next campaign for a long time, even bringing in hunters from neighboring countries, which showed how much they valued Jeju Island.

Che Huiyi's comparison of this underground city to Jeju Island indicates that her assessment of it is no less than S-level!

As a female hunter filled with a sense of justice, Che Huiyi also wanted to gather as much information as possible. She told Lin Tian, ​​"Don't worry, just do it!"

Lin Tian nodded and conveyed his request to the cave. After a while...

The rock wall above Lin Tian suddenly split open, and a woman in white fell from above. Lin Tian tried to catch her, but Che Huiyi was faster than him.

In a flash, the girl was safely caught in Che Huiyi's arms. Her body was covered in wounds, her clothes were tattered, and she was bleeding profusely. She had already fainted.

"This is the person I can communicate with, so what's next..." A sense of crisis surged in Lin Tian's mind. He rolled to the ground as fast as he could, the wind whistling past his ears. He looked back at where he had been standing.

"Xiao Tian!"

It all happened so fast that Che Huiyi didn't even have time to react. Just as she cried out in alarm, Lin Tian managed to dodge the attack, which relieved her.

"Hehehehe, daughter of nature, elegant elf, where are you going... human?"

This is a huge monster.

She landed on the ground from the pit above, her lower body being a huge tree root with an uneven surface where many faces could be vaguely seen. The middle of the tree gradually changed color, and her upper body transformed into a woman with a visible human shape, but her face was ugly and strange, emanating an ominous aura.

Strangely, she wasn't speaking a known language, and her lip movements didn't match, yet Lin Tian and the other person could still understand her.

Who are you?!

Che Huiyi raised her sword with a solemn expression, feeling immense pressure from the monster in front of her!

The monster ignored her words and instead scanned Lin Tian and Che Huiyi with suspicion, its nose twitching incessantly.

“Sniff…this scent, no, no…pleasant. Wonderful.” “You didn’t make a covenant with God?”

god?

Lin Tian's body trembled slightly, and his back was covered in cold sweat, but he remembered everything she said.

"What the hell did you teleport me to, you cave?!" He secretly glanced at Che Huiyi, who looked as if she were facing a formidable enemy, her leg muscles visibly tense, but the aura she exuded was much weaker than that of this monster.

Can Che Huiyi handle this monster?

She placed the girl in white on the ground. Only then did Lin Tian realize that the girl's ears were quite long and thin, with wide auricles that turned slightly backward. They didn't resemble those of a normal human, but rather those of an elf from fantasy works.

It's normal for elves to appear in the world of dungeons. Rather, in the world where the protagonist Cheng Zhenyu lives, dungeons and portals are just synonyms for disaster. This setting doesn't quite fit with dungeons.

"Children of humanity, you dare raise your sword against me... Heh heh." "Shining One. Die!"

The monster showed no intention of explaining to Che Huiyi. An ominous darkness emanated from her, and countless vines, like venomous snakes, lashed out at her from within the thick black mist!

Che Huiyi parried with her sword, dodging and weaving, and these countless attacks did not harm her in the slightest.

In just a brief exchange, she realized that this monster was not in her league. The attack she had just made on Lin Tian was merely a teasing game, like a cat playing with a mouse. Perhaps it was with this mindset that the woman in white had not died, and she had repeatedly used the vines to make her struggle in agony.

This vine is so tough!

Che Huiyi's wrist throbbed with pain. With each clash, she could feel the tremor of her longsword. Her fighting instincts told her that if she continued fighting, her sword might break...

Chapter Thirty-Three: Is this the kind of dungeon you're?!

This is terrifying!

As an S-rank hunter, her weapon is the strongest weapon that the entire country can create. Whether it is the material, the sharpness, or the strength, it is top-notch among hunters.

In preparation for the upcoming Jeju Island campaign, this rapier had recently been reinforced again. Even the high temperature of the flames from the S-rank hunter Choi Jung-in couldn't make it melt at all. Now, it's about to give up after being hit by this monster a few times.

Is its long-range attack capability similar to that of a ranged sorcerer... or a support unit?

The gap in raw strength will quickly reveal her weakness, but it won't determine the outcome—on the battlefield, there's only one rule.

Victory or death!

Che Huiyi racked her brains for a solution. Based on her experience, these kinds of monsters were incredibly brutal in their attacks, but their physical bodies were often very fragile. Like creatures that disguise themselves in nature, this monster deliberately spewed out a black mist that blurred vision, and Che Huiyi did not detect any aggressive toxins within it.

"Camouflage?"

Having such a skill seems to confirm Che Huiyi's guess—animals with fierce fighting power wouldn't evolve in this direction; her true form might just be her weakness...!

Thinking of this, Che Huiyi's sword flashed fiercely, and dozens of vines were knocked back and stiffened. Based on the frequency and direction of the vine attacks, she quickly determined the location of the opponent's main body and charged towards her without hesitation!

The broken vines quickly retreated, attempting to encircle her from all sides. Instead of acting rashly, Che Huiyi moved away and changed direction, repeating the same tactic. After several maneuvers, the long vines were lured together and bound together, finally giving her an opportunity.

It's now!

With a flick of her longsword, Che Huiyi leaped into the air, the blade slashing upwards towards the demon's neck!

However, just as her sword touched the dark skin, she met the monster's eyes.

There was no panic or anger in it, only vicious mockery! "Intelligent humans!"

Clang!

With a metallic clang, the monster uttered those words. Immediately, the vines that had extended outwards snapped back like a rattan ball, lashing fiercely at Che Huiyi, who could only offer emergency protection—smack! smack!

Snapped!

clap clap clap!

In just a few seconds, Che Huiyi was whipped dozens of times by the vines. Her body was suspended in mid-air due to the continuous heavy blows. Finally, with the last heavy blow, Che Huiyi was slammed against the rock wall. The powerful recoil and the instability and rupture of her internal organs caused her to vomit several mouthfuls of blood.

Her body trembled, her delicate skin covered with countless wounds, and her head hung low, wanting to lift but unable to.

The eerie footsteps drew near, and a shadow fell over the ground. A hideous monster, like an arrogant queen of filth, looked down upon Che Huiyi.

"Child of Mankind, you are quite good."

"Resourcefulness, courage, necessary force, and unwavering will—if this were an era before the gods descended, you would surely be one of the shining heroes, wouldn't you?"

“Even in this day and age, your strength far surpasses that of those humans who have received favors, but you lack one thing.” Che Huiyi finally raised her head. The demon’s face was ugly and rotten; it could not be called a smile, but rather the dregs of the most depraved filth, saturated with blood.

"That's luck!"

"Human warrior, meeting me is your greatest misfortune!" This smile is composed solely of negative emotions: vile, evil, filthy, and polluted.

"Hehe, hehehehehe, haha!! Your journey ends here, no." Her eyes darted around, her face growing even more wicked. "—A hero candidate, it would be such a waste to let him go like this."

"To become a part of me, to be my bravest and most loyal puppet, is the best thing ever!"

Che Huiyi never imagined that there would be such a dangerous monster in another world.

the other side.

Lin Tian never expected that he would come to this world. Dungeons, gods, elves, blessings... In this story, everything revolves around one thing.

Orario, the labyrinth city, and its underground city!

He finally remembered the familiar scene of Che Huiyi slaying the minotaur... Wasn't that the scene at the beginning of the anime where Sword Maiden Ais saved Bell?

He should have thought of that earlier! If he had known earlier, Che Huiyi wouldn't have been beaten like this, and he wouldn't have had to take this risk.

Orario's story is simple.

His protagonist is Bell, another masterpiece of the bloodline theory, who has a close relationship with Zeus. His main mission is to win the heart of the fairy Ais Wallenstein and successfully fall in love with her. Along the way, he also becomes a hero. How should I put it, it's a work with a very down-to-earth style.

Lin Tian guessed that he was currently in the underground city, and he also figured out the true nature of the cave—it was the consciousness of the underground city itself!

According to the novel, Orario's dungeon has its own ideas and is extremely disgusted with humans who are blessed by the gods, or anything related to the gods. The reason why the dungeon treats me so well and takes whatever I want is because I do not have the aura of the gods.

Lin Tian even had a bold guess: He knew that He came from another world…

These analyses are correct, but they don't help the current situation! "Who the hell is this?"

Lin Tian looked blank. He wasn't exactly a cloud, but he'd only watched the first three seasons of the anime and knew nothing about anything except the main characters. Talking monsters and stuff—were they heretics?

He glanced at the inhuman-looking creature. No matter how perverse the little creature's lifestyle was, this thing didn't seem like Bell's harem.

Lin Tian made a simple comparison between the two works. Che Huiyi had at least Iv5, and at most IV7 abilities. He had never actually seen the strength of an Iv5 adventurer, so it was just an estimate.

The guy in front of me is very strong!

"Hmm... I almost forgot, there's also a human."

Lin Tian made a move, and this movement also drew the attention of the demons to him.

She was about to retaliate when she realized that Lin Tian wasn't coming towards her, but instead was carrying the elf and running towards Che Huiyi. So she abandoned her attack plan and wondered with great interest what would happen next.

Everything was under her control!

To have reached this level of training without receiving divine favor is worthy of her attention. If it weren't for Che Huiyi and she had only encountered Lin Tian, ​​the spot for transformation would definitely have gone to Lin Tian.

Now, Che Huiyi beside her was even more intriguing! The demon licked its nonexistent lips, a wicked smile creeping across its face. Humans, life and death, hatred, despair, humiliation, and tears—the overflowing despair and ugliness emanating from them. Such a scene. Delicious! Absolutely delicious!!!

She couldn't wait to see how Lin Tian would perform, and then a deep blue vortex appeared.

She assumed it was some kind of attack, some skill this human possessed—she never imagined it was an escape technique. In her mind, no creature could do that in a dungeon, let alone a mere human. So she adopted a defensive stance, countless vines weaving a complex net in front of her, preparing to meet the impending attack.

She had just prepared herself when the presence of those humans vanished! After the vines withdrew, only the specially generated glass walls of the dungeon, still stained with blood, remained as proof of what had just happened. "Heh, heh heh? Heh ha ha ha—..."

The monster let out a strange and eerie laugh, but she wasn't annoyed; there were plenty of toys like that in the dungeon.

She was simply wondering what kind of changes this would bring. After a burst of black mist, the vine monster also disappeared.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Return to the Hunter World

Lin Tian teleported back to the Hunter world, where Che Huiyi and an unknown elf girl also appeared in the alley.

There was no trace of Hwang Dong-seok left. It seems that Chairman Choi of the Hunter's Division learned that Che Hye-yi was missing, tracked her down, and came here to clean up the scene.

It was nighttime, and Che Huiyi was on the verge of death and unconscious, with blood still seeping from her wounds.

Her condition was bad, but after checking both of their injuries, Lin Tian found that the elven woman's injuries were more serious.

Che Huiyi is physically strong, and her breathing gradually stabilized despite her serious injuries. This girl is barely hanging on to her last breath!

His face was as pale as a dead man's, and his heart was barely beating.

After a quick thought, Lin Tian already had a plan in mind.

In South Korea, there is an S-rank healer, Min Se-gu, a hunter who suffered a major blow during the third Jeju Island campaign and was forced to retreat from the front lines. He is the same S-rank hunter who was killed by the Ant King at the end of the second season and then used by Sung Jin-woo to save people.

The Hunter Guild must have some special connections to get his help; after all, he's an S-rank hunter, and he'll help no matter what the reason.

Lin Tian took out his phone and quickly found Cui Zhongyin's number. Most S-rank hunters are quite approachable, and their phone numbers can be found on the official website, but very few people call them.

Along the way, he also noticed that Zhenya and the others had sent a lot of messages, but saving lives was the priority, so he ignored them.
