Chapter 99 "Climbing the World Tree"

Five days later, Sambika removed the bandage on German and did not apply medicine because it was not necessary. She widened her eyes in surprise under her medical cap.

German's recovery speed was too fast.

Yun Gu was still lying in bed, Biscuit and Xiao Di also needed to apply medicine continuously, but German's external wounds had begun to scab over and his internal injuries were almost healed.

Incredible! It's a medical miracle!

German ignored the curiosity in Sambika's eyes, pulled down his shirt that exposed his chest, and said thank you.

Sambika nodded, looked at German's wound reluctantly for a few seconds, and then left the room.

Germann's recovery speed was not surprising, it was mainly due to the combined effects of 47 points of "Constitution" and "Genius Trait".

After staying in the mansion for a few days, German also decided where to go after his injuries healed.

After all, it is unlikely that there will be any exploration of the Dark Continent in the near future, and he can't stay in the base forever.

After he told everyone where he was going, they were surprised at how quickly he recovered, but at the same time they felt that his destination was both unexpected and reasonable.

So, on April 4, after saying goodbye to everyone who was still recovering from their injuries, German left the mansion.

At this time, his "stress" had naturally been reduced to zero under the treatment of Biscuit's "Magic Beautician Miss Cookie".

4 month 9 day.

During a not-so-urgent journey, German first took an airship, then a train, and finally a taxi, and finally arrived at a town.

The town is a famous tourist attraction, and its landmark attraction is the towering World Tree.

Surrounded by scattered houses, this world tree stands out from the crowd, with a height of 1,784 meters, taller than any human building including the Sky Arena.

Hence, it is named "World Tree".

Germain stood under the World Tree and looked up.

He had to admit that this World Tree was tall enough and was definitely worthy of the name of "World" in the Six Continents. However, compared to the World Tree he had seen in the Dark Continent before, it was still too short.

This is actually a world tree that has stopped developing, and it is basically impossible for it to grow to the height of a real world tree. This soil is simply unable to nourish its growth.

Germain prepared to climb the world tree.

After buying the ticket, the staff explained various precautions in detail to the absent-minded German.

German didn't really listen, but took out his cell phone, took a photo of the World Tree, and sent it to the "Stage Coach Group".

Before anyone in the "Stage Coach Group" could reply, he received a text message from Hisoka, whose remark was "Pervert".

“2:1 (smiley face).”

German looked at the meaningless text message, frowned, and pondered its meaning. Soon he had the answer.

Ever since that day when they broke with the Phantom Troupe, Germain and Machi blocked each other and deleted their contact information, and he completely lost track of the Phantom Troupe's movements.

However, considering Hisoka's bad taste, German already understood what his text message meant, which was the score of hunting down the members of the Phantom Troupe.

Since the Battle of Stonehenge, Hisoka has killed Kubiki, Germain has killed Finks, and now the score is 2:1, which means Hisoka has killed another member of the Phantom Troupe recently. Don't know who it is?
Instead of sending a text message to ask, Germain prepared to climb the World Tree.

The staff also gave their final instructions at this time.

"In other words, there are only thirty strong people who can climb to the top safely and come down each year. You must be careful and never force yourself."

"Okay." German nodded.

The staff member shook his head. He saw such relaxed-looking young men every day, but before they had climbed halfway, they would either slip and fall, or cry for help.

This person will probably be no exception, right?

Unexpectedly, he just blinked and German disappeared on the spot, which frightened him so much that he immediately stood up from the chair.

"He...he...is he a ghost?" The staff member was horrified. It was not until he raised his head that he saw a black dot flying across the trunk of the World Tree.

"This is really hell, this is the second time today I've seen someone climbing a tree like he was flying! He...are they all monsters?"

The staff couldn't help but take out their sweat towels and wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads and necks.

German stepped on the sunken footholds left by his predecessors on the World Tree and rushed up like a catapult. He soon passed 500 meters and saw many challengers who were climbing at the same time along the way.

However, those challengers were not as relaxed as German. They were all fully armed and climbed up little by little with serious expressions.

When they saw a black shadow flying past them, they were so frightened that their hearts began to beat fast. Then they looked at each other, wondering if they had seen it wrong because of their nervousness.

They really couldn't see what it was because German was moving too fast, even taking the elevator was not that fast.

800 meters, 900 meters, 1000 meters... German did not rest in the middle. The higher he climbed, the smaller the tree trunks became. He simply grabbed the branches and threw himself into the air like a slingshot.

Finally, after ten minutes, Germain saw the top of the World Tree, which was nearly 1,800 meters high.

At the top of the World Tree, there is a huge bird's nest with several huge, oval bird eggs piled in the nest. They have not hatched, and there is no sign of the owner of the nest around.

Before Germain got close, he could sense the presence of another person in the bird's nest and felt puzzled.

He couldn't help but wonder: Could it be Jin? Jin and his son Xiaojie would meet for the second time at the top of the World Tree in the future.

The man also sensed the presence of a stranger and walked out from under the cover of the bird eggs. However, it was not Jin, but a rugged young man with a crew cut.

He touched the nose of his airplane, then pointed at Germain who was standing next to the bird's nest and asked loudly, "Are you here to investigate the "Feather of the World Tree" as well?"

"No." German shook his head. He looked at the gruff young man and had already made up his mind. "I just wanted to come up and take a look."

“Oh—” The man nodded in understanding, then strode over and extended his hand in a very bold manner, “Nice to meet you, I’m Nakulu, a beast hunter like you.”

It was indeed Naku Lu.

German shook hands with Nakulu and asked curiously, "Do you know me?"

Naku Lu shook his head and said loudly: "We have never met. But my teacher often mentioned your name in front of me. I was a little concerned, so I did some research."

German thought puzzledly: His teacher is the one-star hunter, ocean hunter Mo Laowu, but how did Mo Laowu know me, and why did he mention my name repeatedly in front of Nakulu?
