Speculation about the host body's abilities

In the Forest.

After the initial shock, everyone forgot about Cat Teacher and rushed forward to examine the dead snake.

"Why didn't my 'circle' detect any trace of this guy?"

"This is so strange, is it some kind of new Magical Beast?"

"I think I just saw Nen on it. Could it be that this snake has awakened some kind of Nen Ability? I can hardly believe it, but it's definitely the most likely explanation."

The crowd murmured amongst themselves, some frowning, others with grave expressions.

A creature imperceptible to Nen Abilities... This greatly deprived these Hunters, who primarily relied on Nen Abilities, of a sense of security they had long depended on.

"It was Sashado..."

At that moment, Netero suddenly spoke without warning.

"That monster!?"

The Hunters spoke with shock. They had thought the monster was simply powerful, never imagining that it could influence the Magical Beasts in the Forest.

Zeno, who was standing to the side, sighed, nodded, and explained to everyone, including Ian, who was looking on with curiosity.

"When we came here with Netero, we discovered a group of Magical Beasts similar to these, and they weren't just magical Magical Beasts that could shield themselves from Nen Abilities."

"Fire-breathing zebras, invisible elk, leeches covered in poisonous stingers..."

"Strictly speaking, the creatures in this wetland might not have been considered Magical Beasts before, but after Sashado's Host Body arrived, they seem to have been affected by his Nen Abilities, undergoing some unknown mutation."

Upon hearing this, all the Hunters involuntarily widened their eyes and subconsciously looked towards the vast wetland Forest not far away.

"Gulp..."

They couldn't help but swallow hard, if it were true.

They dared not even imagine what monsters lurked in this Forest. Perhaps the Hunters could barely survive here, but what about the human nations near this wetland?

One of the Hunters reacted quickly and exclaimed in surprise.

What is the nearest human settlement to this wetland?

One of them said with a solemn expression.

"The Duchy of Talhan!"

Netero remained silent; he had anticipated these events when he first set foot in this Forest.

The existence of Sashado poses a tremendous threat to humanity as a whole, no matter how you look at it; the fate of the Republic of the Congo serves as a cautionary tale.

Right now, even a single Host Body of the other side could destroy a country at any time.

At this moment, Ian became curious, since in his memory, the Sashado Nen Ability that Aimina and the others had mentioned should have nothing to do with "mutated creatures," so he couldn't help but ask.

"President, could it be that Sashado's Host Body has a different Nen Ability than his original body?"

Netero nodded deeply, his eyes slightly narrowed as if recalling the battle he had fought when he arrived, and he spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Based on my observations, the other party's Nen Ability has indeed changed."

"I can't provide much detailed information because... I was defeated in a short battle..."

He sighed deeply and looked at Zeno beside him.

"If it weren't for the help of a senior member of the Zoldyck Family, I probably wouldn't even have had a chance to return alive."

Because there were other Hunters around, he didn't mention Maha's name to avoid triggering any unnecessary associations.

However, this single sentence gave the Hunters a clear understanding of the Zoldyck Family clan.

The Zoldyck Family clan on the surface.

Judging solely from the prices they charge, there are three other assassin agencies at the same level.

However... from Netero's words, they already understood one fact very clearly: the Zoldyck Family clan is not to be trifled with!

After all, the assassins who helped Netero escape from the monster were Hunters who couldn't even begin to imagine how powerful that being was.

Netero ignored the silence and continued.

"But I remember that after dodging one of his attacks, his Nen Ability attack landed on a large tree, and then the tree underwent some kind of activation reaction."

"I initially suspected that the opponent might be using some kind of Manipulation Nen Ability, but now it seems that it probably isn't..."

"The opponent might be using some kind of Nen ability that can mutate living beings."

Ian was somewhat surprised to hear Netero's words.

Unexpectedly, Sashado awakened a way to master multiple Nen Abilities, which reminded him of Chrollo and... Naraku from the Inuyasha anime in his previous life.

"Tsk, V5 should be the ones cleaning up this mess, since they're the ones who caused it..."

Ian shook his head, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

Sashado parts and used a method he himself once considered despicable: possessing other people's bodies. This was a last resort forced upon him by V5's powerful weapons.

But this also significantly increased the difficulty of dealing with the situation.

Humans have never been afraid of viruses, no matter how terrifying their power, because there will always be drugs and chemicals that can effectively kill threatening viruses.

However, once this virus disguises itself as an ordinary cell and hides in the human body, then trouble arises...

Sashado is like Cancer Cell in the human population right now; not only is he difficult to identify, but even if you find him, there are very few people who can defeat him.

The advanced thermal weapons possessed by V5 might be effective against the enormous creatures of the Dark Continent.

However, they are hard to use against individual powerhouses who have mastered Nen Abilities to the extreme, which is why they are both wary of the Hunter Association and eager to control it.

After saying that, Ian glanced at Cat Teacher, then turned his gaze back to everyone and smiled faintly.

"Let's go. We can't let the other side's strange Nen Abilities stop us from moving forward. We can discuss any doubts we have with Sashado later."

This is perhaps the confidence that comes from possessing powerful tools and strength.

No matter how strange or troublesome Sashado's Nen Ability, Ian is confident that he will always have an item that can counter it.

To some extent.

Compared to him, who possesses numerous amazing and overpowered items, Sashado is still just a junior!

Hearing Ian's words and seeing the confident smile on his face, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Unconsciously, they also placed their safety on the boy in front of them, perhaps because of the props he kept pulling out, or the miracles he kept showing.

In short...

The miraculous arrival of Ian and the Cat Teacher now carries the Hunters ' strong confidence.

This also prompted many Hunters to reflect deeply on the difference between simple and complex Nen Abilities Nen Ability, with some even regretting that they had gone astray in developing their Nen Abilities.

The group continued onward, while Ian quietly pocketed the shattered snake carcass.

Cat Teacher is a glutton, we can't just leave him alone...
