I Hate Foggy Days
Aijin Continent.
Adjacent to the Yorbian Continent, the most famous power on this continent is the Kakin Empire, which is considered "V6" in addition to V5.
The NGL Autonomous Country, where ants will appear in the future, is also located on this continent.
There are still many unexplored areas on this continent, and perhaps this is why.
That's why Sashado would choose to go here.
"Whoosh!"
The pink [Anywhere Door] slowly opened, and Ian and his group carefully stepped into the Hutalya Wetlands.
Upon arrival, all that met the eye was a vast expanse of white fog.
"This is?"
Everyone was slightly startled, as the surrounding white expanse made it impossible to discern their location.
At this moment, a Hunter spoke in a deep voice.
"This should be the Hutalya Wetlands. It's said to be located in a fractured canyon basin, and due to its geographical location, the climate is humid, and foggy days are very common. Don't worry."
While Hunters may not necessarily be the strongest, they are generally quite knowledgeable.
After all, for a human being to explore those unknown territories without a thorough grasp of the relevant knowledge is to gamble with one's own life.
Obviously, no one would easily disregard their own life.
"That's right. The fog here usually lasts for about half an hour before it dissipates. We encountered it before when we were here. It's probably just starting to get foggy now, so it should clear up in a little while."
Zeno walked to Ian's side and spoke calmly.
Having been here once before, he had nothing to worry about.
The wetland is very large; there's no reason why they would encounter Sashado's Host Body so soon after arriving.
"I see."
Ian nodded, looked around, frowned, and sighed. It was far too damp.
"Visibility is severely impaired in this foggy weather; I can't see my surroundings at all."
After all...
Apart from Zeno beside him, he couldn't see anyone around him at all. In the white mist, there were many figures, which looked very strange.
The Cat Teacher has drifted off to who knows where.
He thought for a moment, then raised the Light Bracelet in his hand. He didn't care that he could freely use the energy of the Seat of Light.
Immediately afterwards, a rich, shimmering white light emanated from it.
Everyone was somewhat surprised.
In a short while, perhaps due to the light and heat, the visibility around them instantly changed from being able to see only five fingers to being able to see clearly within a range of ten meters.
"I saw it clearly!"
The Hunters were somewhat surprised. They noticed the tall trees around them, as well as Ian, whose arm was raised and whose wrist emitted an endless light.
But.
Even so, it was still a drop in the ocean compared to the surrounding hazy fog.
Although Hunters can sense their surroundings through "circles," Ian is somewhat unaccustomed to it.
He intended to take out the "Black Hole Fragment" and absorb all the surrounding mist.
But then I remembered what happened at the Tutantlu Ruins, and I immediately dismissed the idea.
This isn't the Dark Continent, after all.
If something goes wrong, it will be difficult to handle.
Then, he thought of an item in his 4D Pocket, and his eyes lit up.
Got it!
He reached in and, as easily as taking something from a bag, produced a device that resembled a small radar in his hand.
[Weather-Changing Table]
By filling in the time, time period, location, and weather, one can influence the climate of a region and force a change in the weather. This is a standard instrument specifically designed for Future Weather Bureaus.
At this moment, everyone around was observing their surroundings.
No one noticed Ian's actions, and he ignored everyone around him, directly entering the information into the [Weather-Changing Table].
"April 25th, 11:00 AM, Hutalya Wetlands, the weather has changed to sunny."
After entering the command.
"Buzz--"
Soon, the [Weather-Changing Table] made a loud noise, like an old-fashioned machine, attracting the attention of those waiting around.
"What's this?"
Zeno's eyes flickered, for he had been by Ian's side the whole time and had witnessed the entire process.
He knew Ian possessed many amazing gadgets; after all, that brat Milluki would frequently call him to boast about them, which infuriated him, as his grandfather.
That brat brat shows off all he does but doesn't even bring back a single prop. How outrageous!
Now that he actually saw Ian using the props, he felt a sense of curiosity.
The Cat Teacher floated around, sniffing occasionally, looking both curious and relaxed.
As for Netero, he remained calm. He had complete faith in Ian's abilities, and he had been using the Circle to observe his surroundings, with everything under control.
Zeno had barely finished speaking when Ian hadn't even had a chance to answer.
The next moment.
The weather around us seemed to have changed dramatically; suddenly, the sun appeared in the sky.
The dense fog that had just reduced visibility vanished instantly.
This sudden change surprised everyone around, especially the Hunters, who all became wary.
"It's alright, it's alright, don't worry, I look much better now."
"I feel like I can breathe much more easily now."
Ian quickly reassured everyone, then took a deep breath of the fresh Forest air, a slight smile playing on his lips.
I feel that the [Weather-Changing Table] item performs quite well.
After hearing the explanation, everyone accepted the fact, their faces showing stunned surprise.
Change the weather...
They were momentarily stunned by this explanation, unsure of what was going on.
Is this also Nen Ability?
The thought crossed everyone's minds, and when they looked at the boy in front of them, their expressions became complicated.
They finally understood why Netero trusted him so much.
Ian, however, didn't think much of it.
After all, he had just traveled to the Dark Continent with Jin and captured quite a few of the Dark Continent's native monsters.
No matter what the Hutalya Wetlands are like, they can never be as terrifying as the food chain of the Dark Continent.
This is what a playground should be like.
At least if we disregard Sashado as a potential risk, any one of the members of this team could survive here.
Of course, the Beans is an exception.
"Next, President, where should we look?"
At that moment, a Hunter spoke up and asked Netero a question.
Upon hearing his words, Netero pondered for a moment.
"I previously obtained intelligence about V5, and then found a Hunter. Relying on his abilities, I was able to track down their location."
Zeno, standing to the side, sighed and shook his head.
"However, that guy is already dead..."
"Upon meeting Sashado's Host Body, he was slapped to death."
Netero also closed his eyes slightly.
After all, the other person also died because of him in some way.
This time, he wasn't worried and planned to use his Martial Arts perception to find out where the other party was.
He had a vague feeling that, having reached his current level, as long as he wholeheartedly believed in Martial Arts, many miracles would happen.
Hearing what they said.
Ian, standing to the side, shook his head and pulled out a prop that looked like a lawnmower, resembling a small purple two-wheeled vehicle.
There's an arrow above it, and a small suction cup.
It was the same tool he had used before: the [Person-Finding Sensor].
