Chapter 34: Subduing the Magical Beast Griffin

Not long after, Luo Ge walked out of the Thousand-Ear Society.

In the end, he chose the first type of magical beast, the so-called Griffin.

The reason he came to the Thousand-Ear Society was to give the Ella family more combat power, which could also be called a trump card.

Ordinary beasts could not take much advantage against firearms, but magical beasts were different.

Generally speaking, magical beasts had higher intelligence, and their combat power was also stronger than that of ordinary beasts.

Even Nen users could not defeat some magical beasts when they encountered them; after all, the combat power of Nen users was uneven.

In his impression, the world's number one assassin family in the original work—the Zoldyck family—kept many magical beasts.

For example, the wolf-type magical beast responsible for guarding the gate, named "Mike," was large in size and full of deterrence.

Considering that he would not stay in Manhake City all the time, the strength of the Ella family alone was a bit thin.

So Luo Ge thought of magical beasts.

The Hunter x Hunter world was quite special, possessing ordinary animals like pigs, dogs, and cows.

But there were also magical beasts and rare beasts with special abilities and appearances.

Magical beasts, rare beasts, treasures, secret treasures, secret realms, magic realms... these were all things that made Hunter x Hunter attractive.

A slightly powerful magical beast was enough to not fear guns and ammunition, and even more powerful ones could resist third-rate or even second-rate Nen users.

However, magical beasts were not so easy to raise, precisely because they had higher intelligence.

So it was even harder to keep them as family pets.

The reason the Zoldyck family could raise so many powerful magical beasts was, first, because they were strong themselves.

If a magical beast did not listen, they could kill it at will.

Second, because the Zoldyck family had a long heritage, many magical beasts were raised from a young age, so they would naturally listen.

And Luo Ge did not have the time to play at raising them; he wanted ready-made combat power, so he planned to use the [Poké Ball]!

Relying on the [Poké Ball], he could capture those powerful magical beasts and convert them into combat power.

Now that the situation in Manhake City was still unstable, it was inconvenient for him to leave to capture them, so he simply entrusted the Thousand-Ear Society to bring the Griffin.

After Luo Ge left, the middle-aged man stared at the computer screen and muttered to himself: "How strange~"

"A child of this age also knows [Nen]."

"I wonder who his master is?"

Nen ability in the Hunter x Hunter world was a special ability that ordinary people did not know about, circulating only among a few people.

Therefore, new people who mastered Nen ability were basically taught by old Nen users.

Generally speaking, there were only three channels for people to master Nen ability.

One was being extremely lucky to meet a Nen user who took a liking to them and would take them as an apprentice to teach them.

Two was joining a certain force, which would provide guidance, but this came at a price, basically requiring them to work for the force.

Three was family inheritance; for example, the Zoldyck family was like this, with the family teaching the younger generation Nen ability generation after generation.

Looking at Luo Ge's age, the middle-aged man felt that it was more likely that he was a family inheritance.

Because natural Nen users were too rare, the middle-aged man subconsciously ignored this possibility.

Sizzle—

The sound of tires rubbing against the ground rang out.

Just some time after Luo Ge left, someone else arrived at the Thousand-Ear Society by car.

The middle-aged man was curious about what kind of day it was, why two orders came in a row?

On weekdays, there might not even be one transaction a month.

Three days later,

"Roar!"

Seeing the Griffin staying in a large cage in front of him and constantly roaring at him, Luo Ge felt that the money was well spent.

At this moment, the Griffin was locked in a specially made large cage, not just a simple iron cage.

Because the Griffin's size was on the larger side.

The Griffin was about three or four meters tall and about ten meters long; such a behemoth naturally required a custom-made cage.

The Griffin had feather and fur colors like sunshine, with yellow being the overall color.

The lion-like hindquarters were covered in yellow-brown beast fur, while the eagle-like head to the forelimbs were all covered in golden eagle feathers.

On its broad back grew two pure white wings, which were folded now, but would be very long if spread out.

Looking at the sturdy and naturally imposing Griffin, Luo Ge was quite satisfied.

According to the information provided by the Thousand-Ear Society, this Griffin was an adult and had considerable strength.

If it were just firearms, it would be difficult to cause damage because its fur and feathers were almost like steel, and its defensive power was relatively strong.

But it was hard to say for Nen users; it could still deal with third-rate Nen users.

After all, the combat power of third-rate Nen users was not as powerful as high-end guns and artillery.

But second-rate Nen users would not do; second-rate Nen users no longer feared conventional thermal weapons, and the Griffin would be difficult to deal with.

If Luo Ge estimated it, the current Griffin's strength was probably inferior to Nidorino.

In general, the Griffin's positioning was for clearing small soldiers, plus acting as a mount; if it encountered someone more powerful, it would not work.

"Screech!"

The Griffin roared suddenly, its sharp eyes filled with a violent color; if this strong sound wave were closer, it would be enough to shatter a person's eardrums.

Machi and the other two were watching from the side, and upon seeing this, they quickly covered their ears, only feeling their ears go a bit numb.

"Bang! Bang!"

Following that, it began to ram the cage, but because the effect of the anesthetic in its body had not yet passed, hitting it many times was useless.

Logically speaking, the Griffin's strength, although not considered powerful among magical beasts, was still not bad, so it was relatively difficult to get one's hands on.
