[Flame Orb]: After holding this item, the user will automatically enter a burn state.

[Firium Z]: When held by a Pokémon, it can use Fire-type moves.

[Blaze]: When HP drops below half due to an attack, Special Attack increases; this ability can be triggered repeatedly.

[Mind Reader]: Feel the opponent’s movements with your heart; the next attack is guaranteed to hit.

[Viridian Force]: A power originating from nature; it can easily communicate with other living beings, build rapport, and has various other effects.

……

Luo Ge took a rough look; there was nothing particularly rare.

Except for one.

[Viridian Force]!

He had already possessed two types of special abilities before this.

Psychic power and Aura.

But this was the first time he had obtained a special ability in this form.

The previous psychic and Aura abilities were obtained by acquiring corresponding skills.

Obtaining it directly was a first.

Viridian Force was also a very important ability, its status no less than the other two special abilities.

It was a versatile support ability.

It included communicating with other creatures, sensing their emotions and thoughts, healing injuries, and even temporarily boosting a creature’s strength.

If nothing else.

Just for [Viridian Force] alone, this trip was worth it.

Luo Ge looked around.

The Kurta Clan’s houses were semi-circular buildings similar to yurts, with strange patterns on them.

At the same time, the scenery here looked very strange.

Whether it was the trees, the grass, or the houses they lived in, everything had circular patterns.

It looked very much like the patterns on Devil Fruits in the One Piece world.

As they approached the living area, Luo Ge also saw some traces left behind.

Many houses had been damaged; some had large holes, while others had collapsed entirely.

Just from these traces, one could tell that a great battle had taken place here.

After seeing the places where they had once lived, Kurapika came to a special area.

It was called special because it was filled with one small mound after another.

This was a graveyard, burying the dead Kurta Clan members.

There were no tombstones here.

Perhaps even Kurapika couldn't distinguish which corpse belonged to whom.

The Kurta Clan had a total of 128 people.

In the original work, many Kurta Clan members had their heads cut off while they were still alive.

Not to mention the countless wounds on their bodies.

Everything was to ensure the Scarlet Eyes were obtained smoothly.

Without heads, and with the clansmen wearing identical clothing, it had been a very chaotic scene at the time.

Kurapika couldn't tell which corpse was whose.

He only knew that his clansmen were all dead.

Only he had survived.

Luo Ge also saw many sinister death-nen floating above the graveyard.

It must have been that the resentment of the Kurta Clan members after death was too strong, forming such a spectacular display of death-nen.

But thinking about the inhuman treatment they had received, this amount of death-nen didn't seem like much.

In front of the many small mounds, there was also a larger stone tablet.

It was carved with lines of strange, exotic characters.

At the very least, Luo Ge could tell it wasn't the common language of the six continents.

It was likely the Kurta Clan’s own language.

The words on it should belong to a type of prayer.

Kurapika stood quietly before the large stone tablet, a pair of Scarlet Eyes quietly emerging, and he began to chant slowly:

Sun in the sky, green trees on the earth

Our bodies were born from the earth

Our souls come from the heavens

The sun and moon shine upon our limbs

……

May we share their sorrow

Please praise the people of the Kurta Clan forever

Let us bear witness with our red Scarlet Eyes

Kurapika was mourning his dead clansmen; his emotions seemed to have taken physical form at this moment.

A breeze from nowhere blew past Kurapika’s side, blowing over the stretch of small mounds.

It merged with the death-nen that looked like dark clouds.

Lingering for a long time.

Luo Ge watched this scene quietly, without speaking.

The actions of the V5 and the Spiders were truly disgraceful.

It wouldn't be long before he tore down the curtain and unified the Hunter world.

By then, even a behemoth like the V5 would only be torn to shreds, not to mention mere Spiders.

Seeing Kurapika immersed in prayer, Luo Ge wandered around on his own.

Perhaps he could make new discoveries.

Just as he thought this, he saw a brown figure moving in the grass.

Looking closely, it was a puppy.

The dog had light brown fur, pink insides of its ears, and brown tips on its ears.

It had white fur and rocks around its neck.

[Rockruff, huh…]

Luo Ge thought silently in his heart, his expression slightly happy.

This trip was indeed the right choice.

Not only did he obtain Viridian Force, but he also got a Rockruff.

It made sense for it to be a Rockruff.

He remembered that Rockruff had three evolutionary branches, one of which was the Dusk Form, whose eyes would turn red during battle.

Similar to the Scarlet Eyes of the Kurta Clan.

Rockruff was a Pokémon that possessed the perseverance to fight against enemies at any time, even when injured.

It would launch the rocks on its neck at the ground to intimidate opponents.

Facing an opponent stronger than itself, it would persist until the end, causing the opponent to lose their will and thus winning.

Rockruff was very easy to get close to when young, so it was said to be a Pokémon recommended for novice Trainers.

Rockruff was walking in the grass when its little nose suddenly sniffed, smelling an unfamiliar scent.

Rockruff possessed an excellent sense of smell and would never forget a scent it had once smelled.

It was said that this Pokémon had once been separated from its Trainer, only to reunite after running for many days based on a single scent.

Turning around, Rockruff saw Luo Ge.

For some reason, even though it was seeing Luo Ge for the first time, a sense of intimacy welled up, and it subconsciously wanted to get close.
