Blood Orchid in the Mountains

Lucky immediately got to his feet.

He left the airship at once.

He quickly headed into the forest.

Before long, he arrived at the place where he had collected honey earlier.

The Blood Jade Bees began buzzing again.

But there were only a few of them, nowhere near enough to attack Lucky. The corpses of the other Blood Jade Bees lay scattered all over the area; naturally, Lucky had dealt with them.

Previously, he had only thought about passing the exam.

He had not studied this hive too closely.

The Queen Bee appeared with several Blood Jade Bees.

But the moment the Queen Bee appeared, she was controlled by the Sharingan. He could not control ordinary Blood Jade Bees, but the Queen Bee possessed rudimentary intelligence.

Naturally, she could also be hypnotized by the Sharingan.

The Sharingan was a manifestation of Yin Release power, while in this world, it was a manifestation of spiritual will.

Lucky's Sharingan hypnosis ability was primarily a spiritual attack, aside from Nen.

Unfortunately, this spiritual power could only be cast through the Sharingan and could only be used for genjutsu hypnosis.

If he could use it, Lucky really wanted to try what Psychokinesis was like.

With the Queen Bee under Lucky's control, the other Blood Jade Bees stopped attacking him as well.

Meanwhile, Phoenix intended to enter the basin and investigate its exact conditions, but whenever he approached it, he was attacked by swarms of Blood Jade Bees.

It even triggered a chain reaction, causing the Blood Jade Bees from nearby hives to fly out.

Lucky was very curious.

Did anyone know about this?

In Lucky's view, the threat level of these Blood Jade Bees needed to be raised significantly.

The power of an insect swarm could not be underestimated.

Phoenix was completely unafraid of the numerous Blood Jade Bees. He did not need to force his way in head-on and simply used Spatial Teleportation.

He then burst into the basin and directly picked a crimson flower.

Then he flew out of the basin.

He flew toward Lucky. The Blood Jade Bees pursued him briefly, but soon stopped.

As for Lucky, he slowly opened the hive, gradually exposing its interior.

Then he finally discovered something.

At the very center of the hive was a plant identical to the ones in the basin.

In Lucky's eyes, this plant had remarkably tenacious vitality.

It was even planted in honey.

It seemed to be absorbing the honey's nutrients as it grew.

Could the honey be produced because of this plant?

How was that possible?

Lucky could not understand it. It defied common sense.

But then he remembered that this was Hunter World, and that he himself was a reincarnator. No matter how absurd something was, it might still happen.

Just as he had once not believed in the existence of "gods," after experiencing reincarnation, Lucky now believed in them completely.

So had that Queen Bee returned to the mountain range for this plant?

There were still far too many questions.

Lucky did not take the plant away.

Phoenix soon brought one back to him, and his curiosity had been thoroughly piqued.

Lucky had Phoenix continue probing the mountain range.

Meanwhile, he planned to take the plant and ask Examiner Husum about it.

On his way back, Lucky passed the place where the Brown Bear had fought earlier.

The battle was over. The Brown Bear was still gnawing on the hive and licking up honey, while several examinees' corpses lay nearby.

Clearly, the examinees' attempt to deal with the Brown Bear had failed.

They had been unable to play the role of the waiting oriole.

Without any desire to search for other examinees, Lucky left the forest again and found Husum.

When Husum saw the plant in Lucky's hand, his expression turned incredulous.

He did not even wait for Lucky to approach before charging over.

"How is this possible? How did you pick a Blood Orchid? There's no way you could have entered the mountain range in such a short time."

He looked Lucky over.

Then he immediately added, "And there's no way you could have come back completely unharmed."

"Examiner, how can you be sure that this Blood Orchid of mine was picked in the mountain range? Why couldn't it have been—"

"The color is so vivid, and it lacks the fragrance of honey. It can only be a Blood Orchid from the mountain range." Husum's expression was complicated.

"Then, Examiner, can you tell me about this Blood Orchid?" Lucky asked with narrowed eyes.

"I never expected someone like you to appear. Though I don't know what method you used to obtain it, what can you offer if you want information from me?"

Husum would not give Lucky information for free.

"Then how about this Blood Orchid?" Lucky asked.

Spatial Teleportation was far too overpowered. Since Lucky could obtain one, he could naturally obtain a second.

"You're really willing to give it to me?" Husum looked utterly disbelieving.

"You may not understand the value of this Blood Orchid. If Blood Jade Honey is worth a fortune, then this Blood Orchid is something that cannot be measured in money."

Lucky said indifferently, "Right now, I only want information about the Blood Orchid."

On his way back, he had already discovered how extraordinary this Blood Orchid was. As long as any creature in the forest caught its scent, it would attack Lucky fearlessly, all targeting the Blood Orchid in his hand.

Now that he had heard this somewhat familiar name, Lucky wondered whether it might be similar to the Blood Orchid from the movie Anacondas.

"Alright!"

Husum directly took the Blood Orchid from Lucky's hand.

The Blood Orchid in Lucky's memories came from the movie Anacondas.

Legend had it that deep within the jungles of Borneo lay an uncharted wilderness. Its treacherous terrain formed a natural protective barrier for all kinds of rare plants and animals—the Blood Orchid grew there.

It was an exceedingly rare red orchid. The sap it secreted could extend the life of cells and keep one eternally youthful. It was the fountain of youth of the medical world, famed as the Flower of Immortality.

If this Blood Orchid possessed the same effects, then it truly counted as a heavenly treasure. It would likely be of great help in cultivation as well.

"Wait while I process this Blood Orchid. Just hold on for a moment." Husum quickly left and ran into the forest.

He likely had a residence somewhere in the forest.

Lucky was not worried about him running away. After all, Husum was still the examiner for this test.

After waiting for some time, night was about to fall.

During the exam, the airship did not provide food for the examinees.

Left with no choice, he went hunting in the forest.

Then he lit a bonfire and roasted the meat.

That inconvenience made Lucky wonder whether he should develop a Spatial-type ability.

Unfortunately, Phoenix did not know the other magic of Harry Potter World.

While Lucky waited and let his imagination wander, Husum returned once more.

He brought some things with him.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Processing the Blood Orchid was too troublesome, and it took quite a while." Husum no longer treated Lucky as an examinee at all.

Instead, he treated him as an equal.
