Chapter 35: Subduing the Magical Beast Griffin

Not long after, Luo Ge walked out of the Qianer Society.

In the end, he selected the first type of magical beast, the so-called griffin.

The reason he came to the Qianer Society was to add more combat power to the Ella family, or one could say, a trump card.

Ordinary beasts gain little advantage when facing firearms, but magical beasts are different.

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

Even Nen users might fail to defeat certain magical beasts, after all, the combat power of Nen users varies greatly.

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

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

Considering that he would not stay in Manhark City continuously, the strength of just the Ella family was somewhat thin.

Therefore, Luo Ge thought of magical beasts.

The Hunter World is quite special; it possesses ordinary animals like pigs, dogs, and cows.

But it also has magical beasts and rare beasts with special abilities and unique appearances.

Magical beasts, rare beasts, treasures, secret treasures, secret realms, demonic realms... these are all things that make Full Time Hunter attractive.

A slightly powerful magical beast is enough to fear neither guns nor ammunition; more powerful ones can even resist third-rate or even second-rate Nen users.

However, magical beasts are not that easy to raise, precisely because they possess higher intelligence.

Therefore, wanting to keep them as family pets is even more difficult.

The reason the Zoldyck family can raise so many powerful magical beasts is, first, because they themselves are strong.

If a magical beast disobeys, they can simply kill it with a casual move.

Second, the Zoldyck family has been inherited for a long time; many magical beasts were raised since childhood, so they naturally obey.

But 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 forces.

Since the situation in Manhark City was still unstable, it was inconvenient for him to leave and hunt, so he simply entrusted the Qianer Society to bring the griffin to him.

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

"A child of such an age also knows 【Nen】."

"I wonder who taught him?"

Nen ability belongs to special abilities in the Hunter World; ordinary people do not know of it, and it circulates only among a few individuals.

Therefore, when a new person masters Nen ability, it is basically because an old Nen user has taught them.

Generally speaking, there are only three channels through which a person can master Nen ability.

First is extreme luck: encountering a Nen user who takes a fancy to them and actively accepts them as a disciple to teach.

Second is joining some faction; the faction will provide guidance, but this comes at a cost, basically requiring one to work within the faction.

Third is family inheritance; for example, the Zoldyck family is just like this, with the family teaching Nen ability to the younger generation generation after generation.

Looking at Luo Ge's age, the middle-aged man felt it was more probable that his ability came from family inheritance.

Since born Nen users are too rare, the middle-aged man subconsciously ignored this possibility.

Screech—

The sound of tires friction against the ground rang out.

Some time after Luo Ge left, someone else arrived at the Qianer Society by car.

The middle-aged man wondered what kind of day it was today, why two separate orders had come in succession?

On ordinary days, there might not even be one transaction in a month.

Three days later,

"Roar!"

Seeing the griffin before him, kept in a large cage and constantly roaring at him, Luo Ge felt the money spent was quite worth it.

At this moment, the griffin was locked inside a specially made large cage, not a simple iron cage.

This was because the griffin's size was rather large.

The griffin stood about three or four meters tall and was over ten meters long; such a colossal creature naturally required a custom-made cage.

The griffin possessed plumage and fur colors like sunlight, with its overall color being yellow.

The lion-like hindquarters grew yellow-brown beast fur, while from the eagle-like head to the forelimbs, it was entirely covered in golden eagle feathers.

Two pure white wings grew on its broad back; they were folded now, but if unfolded, they would be very long.

Looking at the robust griffin that exuded anger without needing to try, Luo Ge was very satisfied.

According to the information provided by the Qianer Society, this griffin was an adult with considerable strength.

If it were only firearms, it would be hard to cause harm, because its fur and feathers were nearly as hard as steel, giving it strong defense.

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

After all, the combat power of third-rate Nen users was not yet as formidable as powerful guns and cannons.

However, against second-rate Nen users, it would not fare well; second-rate Nen users already feared no conventional firearms, making the griffin difficult to deal with them.

If estimated according to Luo Ge's judgment, the current strength of the griffin was probably inferior to Nidorino.

In summary, the griffin's role was clearing out minor enemies and serving as a mount; if it encountered something more powerful, it would not suffice.

"Screech!"

The griffin suddenly let out a roar, its sharp eyes filled with a savage color; if one were closer, such intense sound waves would be enough to burst a human's eardrums.

Machi and the other two watched from the side; seeing this, they hurriedly covered their ears, merely feeling a slight numbness in their ears.

"Bang! Bang!"

Immediately afterward, it began ramming the cage, but since the anesthetic within its body had not yet worn off, many collisions proved useless.

By rights, a griffin of this strength, while not considered formidable among magical beasts, is still quite capable, and thus rather difficult to obtain.
