Chapter 293

"Obtained item 【Flame Orb】"

"Obtained item 【Fire Z】"

"Obtained ability 【Rage】"

"Obtained skill 【Focus】"

"Obtained special ability 【Power of Nature】"

【Flame Orb】: Upon carrying this item, the user automatically enters a burn state.

【Fire Z】: When held by a Pokémon, it allows the use of a Fire-type move.

【Rage】: When HP drops below half due to an attack, Special Attack rises; this ability can trigger repeatedly.

【Focus】: Perceive the opponent's actions with the heart; the next attack will surely hit the opponent.

【Power of Nature】: A power originating from nature, allowing easy communication with other living beings, establishing affinity, and producing various effects.

Luo Ge glanced over and found nothing particularly rare.

Except for one thing.

【Power of Nature】!

He had already possessed two special abilities before this.

Psychic power and Aura power.

But this was his first time obtaining a special ability in this form.

The previous Psychic power and Aura power were both acquired by obtaining corresponding types of skills.

Obtaining it directly was a first.

Power of Nature is also a very important ability; its status is in no way inferior to the other two special abilities.

It is a versatile support ability.

Including communicating with other living beings, sensing their emotions and thoughts, healing injuries, and even temporarily boosting a living being's strength.

Setting other things aside.

Just having 【Power of Nature】 made this journey worthwhile.

Luo Ge looked around.

The Kurta clan's houses were semi-circular structures similar to yurts, adorned with strange patterns.

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

Whether trees, small grass, or the houses they lived in, everything bore patterns resembling circles.

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

As he approached the residential area, Luo Ge also saw some traces left behind.

Many houses had suffered damage, either with large holes or completely collapsed.

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

After viewing the former living quarters, Kurapika came to a special place.

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

This was a graveyard, burying the deceased members of the Kurta clan.

There were no tombstones here.

Perhaps even Kurapika could not distinguish which corpse belonged to whom.

The Kurta clan had a total of one hundred and twenty-eight people.

In the original story, many Kurta clan members had their heads chopped off while still alive.

Not to mention the countless wounds on their bodies.

Everything was done to ensure the Scarlet Eyes were obtained smoothly.

Without heads, combined with the clan members wearing identical clothing and the scene being extremely chaotic at the time.

Kurapika could not distinguish which corpse belonged to whom.

He only knew that all the clan members were dead.

Only he survived.

Luo Ge also saw many eerie death thoughts floating above the graveyard.

It must be that the resentment of the Kurta clan members after death was so strong that it formed such a spectacular display of death thoughts.

But thinking of the inhumane treatment they suffered, these death thoughts did not seem like much.

In front of the many small mounds stood a larger stone stele.

It was carved with lines of strange and peculiar text.

At least Luo Ge could tell it was not the common language of the Six Continents.

It was probably the Kurta clan's own script.

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

Kurapika stood silently before the large stone stele, a pair of Scarlet Eyes quietly appearing as he began to chant slowly:

The sun in the sky, the green trees on the earth

Our bodies are born from the earth

Our souls come from the sky

Sunlight and moonlight shine upon our limbs

May we share their sorrow

Please forever praise the people of the Kurta Clan.

Let us take the scarlet Fire Red Eyes as our witness.

Kurapika is mourning his deceased clan members; his emotions at this moment seem to have taken physical form.

A gentle breeze, from who knows where, blew past Kurapika's side and swept over the continuous range of small hills.

It mingled with the dead thoughts that loomed like dark clouds.

Echoing for a long time without fading.

Luo Ge watched this scene silently, saying nothing.

The conduct of V5 and the Spiders is truly shameful.

It is not far from the time he will tear open the curtain and unify the Hunters.

By then, even a behemoth like V5 will end up torn to shreds, let alone mere Spiders.

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

Perhaps he might make a new discovery.

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

Looking closely, it was a small dog.

The dog had light brown Mao Fa, with pink insides to its ears and brown ear tips.

White Mao Fa and rocks adorned its neck.

【A Rockruff...?】

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

This trip was indeed the right decision.

Not only did he obtain the power of the Everstone, but he also got a Rockruff.

If it is a Rockruff, that would make sense.

He remembered that Rockruff has three evolution branches, one of which is the Dusk Form, whose eyes turn red during battle.

Similar to the Fire Red Eyes of the Kurta Clan people.

Rockruff is a Pokémon that possesses the perseverance to fight an opponent at any time, even when injured.

It will launch the rocks on its neck toward the ground to intimidate its opponent.

Facing an opponent stronger than itself, it will persist in fighting to the end, causing the opponent to lose their will to fight, thereby achieving victory.

When young, Rockruff is very easy to befriend, so it is said to be a Pokémon suitable for recommending to new trainers.

Rockruff was walking in the grass when its small nose suddenly twitched, smelling a strange scent.

Rockruff possesses an excellent sense of smell and never forgets a scent it has once smelled.

It is said that this Pokémon, once separated from its trainer, ran for many days based on just a trace of scent before reuniting with its trainer.

Turning around, Rockruff saw Luo Ge.

For some reason, although it was seeing Luo Ge for the first time, a sense of familiarity arose spontaneously, and it subconsciously wanted to get close.
