Although it was only a small flying ship, it only took less than half a day to arrive at the Hunter Association headquarters.
The first thing Loki did upon returning to headquarters was to lock Alluka up.
Letting Zenki and Goki guard her.
Alluka actually liked Zenki and Goki, who had turned into two cats, one red and one blue.
Loki took the frozen Ging to an empty room.
Then he contacted Morel.
Morel notified Cheadle.
Soon, a group of people directly broke in.
Almost all of the Zodiacs had arrived, of course, Pariston hadn't come.
Cheadle stood at the front, looking at Loki and Ging.
"Why did you two leave without saying a word? What did you do at the Zoldycks?"
Loki faintly raised his head and looked at her. "Am I your subordinate?"
Being lightly looked at by the current Loki, Cheadle felt an incomparably powerful force.
Even though Loki's face had a trace of fatigue, as if he was very tired, it didn't affect the pressure that Loki brought to everyone in the slightest.
As powerful as ever.
Just this slender body, sitting there quietly, gave people the feeling of being a mountain.
Impossible to shake no matter what.
"Alright, Cheadle."
Piyon, one of the Zodiacs, came out, defusing the tense atmosphere.
"Let's talk about what's going on with Ging first!"
Loki opened his mouth. "It's very simple. He should have been poisoned by some kind of poison. It was very terrible. If I hadn't frozen him, he would probably be dead!"
"Can it be undone?"
Loki nodded. "Of course it can, but unfreezing Ging would probably only allow him to survive for five minutes. In other words, do you have any way to save Ging within five minutes!"
Gel, one of the Zodiacs, a poison Hunter.
She walked out and looked at Loki. "Is there a sample of the poison?"
Loki took out a small bottle containing a dark green liquid from his arms and threw it to her casually.
"I asked. He said that he didn't understand what kind of poison it was and couldn't detoxify it."
Gel caught the small bottle, opened it, and gently sniffed it.
After being silent for several seconds,
her face turned somewhat pale. "Where did he get this thing from?"
Looking at Gel's appearance, Loki thought for a moment. "In Kukuroo Mountain, in a very deep cave!"
"Kukuroo Mountain?"
The Zoldycks' territory! Of course, it had now turned into an extremely terrible volcano.
Gel looked at everyone. "This thing isn't really a poison in the strict sense. It's just the World Tree's sap."
It's rumored that when the World Tree dies, it will secrete a liquid that contains vast life energy.
It looks very corrosive, but it's actually just a manifestation caused by the life energy being too vast.
"Then! Can Ging be saved?"
Cheadle asked.
Gel was somewhat silent. Judging from her appearance, it seemed that Ging was bound to die.
Loki listened and finally understood somewhat. No wonder he had always felt a strange energy fluctuation on his body these past few days.
At first, he had thought it was a phenomenon caused by his own mental power being overused.
After all, the more vast the aura, the stronger the mental power required to control it.
It was normal for Loki's mental power to be somewhat damaged and unable to completely control his own power.
Now it seemed that it wasn't Loki's own problem.
It was this small bottle of World Tree sap.
Just the sap secreted by a World Tree was so magical. He didn't know how many wonderful creatures and strange phenomena there were on the Dark Continent.
"So Ging can't be saved?"
Botobai said in a deep voice.
Gel put down the glass bottle in her hand and shook her head somewhat regretfully. The World Tree sap contains an incomparably vast amount of energy.
Unless Ging can possess aura of the same level and resist the invasion of this vast life energy.
"Doesn't that mean that the World Tree sap is something that can enhance aura?"
Kanzai asked.
However, Gel shook her head. It's not something that can enhance human aura.
Even if you block the impact of the World Tree's vast life energy, the effect might just be to make your aura change slightly, equivalent to the increase in aura from training.
Strictly speaking, there was no elixir that could directly enhance an individual's aura.
Gel found Kanzai's idea amusing.
"Of course, if you can drink it and also have super digestive ability, you can probably enhance your own aura!"
Saying this, Gel's expression became serious.
"But the prerequisite is that your stomach needs to have sufficiently powerful aura protecting it."
"Otherwise, it will enter your body and instantly erupt with amazing power, corroding your internal organs. You will completely disappear from this world in a few seconds."
Hearing this, Kanzai was also somewhat afraid. Fortunately, there was someone who knew the situation here.
Otherwise, if he had inexplicably treated it as a good thing and eaten it,
he wouldn't even have any scum left after he died.
Hearing this, Loki suddenly understood. No wonder the wreckage of the World Tree still retained such a vast amount of life energy, giving birth to a semi-finished unknown.
It was probably this World Tree sap that provided the energy!
The World Tree sap, which was poison to humans or living things,
was really a good thing that could enhance power for formless conscious beings.
Wait! Formless conscious beings! Then could the Fire Spirit be considered a formless conscious being?
Loki thought about it.
Strictly speaking, the Fire Spirit's full name was Spirit of Fire.
It was a spirit that was naturally born.
It just happened to be a spirit that controlled the power of fire.
Belonging to the basic Five Elements, even among the same spirit creatures, the Fire Spirit was a unique existence, having a status that was far higher than ordinary spirits.
"So this kind of thing is useless to humans, right!"
Mizaistom came to this conclusion.
Gel also nodded. "That's indeed right. This kind of thing shouldn't exist. The World Tree has already become extinct."
"The only place where the World Tree might exist is the Dark Continent."
Cheadle turned her head and looked at Loki.
Loki smiled. "The mountain body of Kukuroo Mountain was formed from the wreckage of the World Tree."
As expected! Hearing this answer, it wasn't strange that the World Tree sap had appeared.
Everyone silently glanced at it. Such a good thing, a liquid condensed from life energy.
It was easy to imagine how much terrible energy this kind of thing contained.
It would have been great if it was useful to humans.
But unfortunately, it was impossible for humans to absorb this kind of thing.
Moreover, no living thing could absorb it.
Cheadle didn't pay attention to the useless World Tree sap anymore, but instead turned her head and looked at Ging.
"Ging, he isn't..." Bound to die? Gel silently closed her mouth.
Remaining silent. Although she wanted to say that Ging could still be saved, no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't think of a way.
The World Tree's vast life energy had already invaded Ging's body.
It was just that Loki's freezing had stopped the flow of Ging's life energy.
So even though that terrible energy was about to erupt, Ging was still temporarily safe after the flow had stopped.
Everyone was sighing silently.
At this time, Loki stretched out his hand, taking the World Tree sap from Gel's hand.
Everyone suddenly turned their heads and looked at Loki.
Wanting to ask what Loki was doing, but before they could say the words,
Loki raised a hand, and the Fire Spirit appeared in Loki's hand.
Twisting open the bottle cap, Loki directly poured the World Tree sap into the Fire Spirit's mouth without hesitation.
And the Fire Spirit also greedily devoured it in big gulps.
A small bottle of World Tree sap was swallowed clean by the Fire Spirit in an instant.
Everyone was stunned.
Kanzai: "What are you doing?"
Piyon: "Hey, Nen beast! Won't something happen?"
Gel was also stunned for a moment, but after thinking carefully, it was useless.
Although Nen beasts didn't have an actual form, they were basically just a collection of Nen aura.
So there was only one result for a Nen beast drinking World Tree sap.
It was equivalent to an enemy's attack erupting inside the Nen beast, and then the Nen beast being destroyed.
But if the Nen beast was eliminated, it would only consume the Nen ability user's own aura.
It wouldn't cause any harm.
However, just as Gel made this judgment,
Loki's Fire Spirit was directly taken back by Loki.
Nothing had happened.
And Loki still had a calm and clear look.
Instead, he turned and walked towards Ging.
The members of the Zodiacs were staring blankly at Loki.
"Is everything alright?"
Loki stood in front of Ging, turning his head back to look at Cheadle, who had asked the question.
"What could happen?"
Gel widened her eyes. Why is nothing happening to you? Nen beasts! Even Nen beasts can't swallow World Tree sap unscathed.
In theory, your Nen beast should have been directly destroyed by that vast life energy!
The others all had this idea as well.
It was basically just a collection of Nen aura.
