Baiting the Waters X The Real Beginning

Keep in mind, this is a village full of Nen user Kevin group have been here for almost two weeks, and during that time, they have witnessed quite a few villagers with Nen ability.

Unlike the distribution of Nen users in the outside world, Enhancement-type Nen users are undoubtedly the most numerous.

In this Village, although a comprehensive survey has not yet been conducted, based on their visual observations and assessments...

The number of Nen user specializing in Emission Type and Materialization Type is far ahead.

"Perhaps it's due to bloodline, or maybe it's because of different growing environments."

Men Qi guessed casually.

At this moment, the ball of light was still floating in the air. After a while, a wild boar came galloping towards them.

"Mud Pit Boar."

This time Kevin recognized it. This kind of wild boar wasn't large in this world; it was of normal size, and its whole body was covered in a thick layer of mud.

The wild boar rolled on the ground in front of the floating orb of light, then began to spin in circles.

The mud shell on his body instantly transformed into mud pellets wrapped in Nen Aura, flying towards the sphere of light in the sky.

A villager standing at the edge of the field suddenly produced a weapon resembling a javelin, which he then hurled outwards.

The javelin disappeared the instant it flew out, and at the same time, the villager appeared behind the wild boar and, with extremely precise movements, plunged the javelin into the boar's body.

The wild boar let out a miserable scream.

The spear inserted into its body instantly transformed into a three-meter-long spear, piercing straight through the wild boar.

Then, another hook was swung, dragging the wild boar back to the Village.

"This Nen ability is pretty good," commented Xiahara.

Then, the sphere of light disappeared.

The villager who created the orb of light exchanged a few words with the person next to him with a helpless expression, and then stepped aside.

At this moment, Bianluoke stepped forward.

He waved his hand outside, and a large number of bubbles surged outwards like a tide.

These bubbles came together to form a giant bubble cluster, which floated slowly in the air.

Sunlight shines through the bubbles, making it seem as if a beautiful rainbow is flowing within them.

Kevin squinted slightly, observing carefully.

"No, compared to Bianluoke's Nen ability, which has a certain degree of concealment, its attraction isn't as strong as the light sphere from before."

Even when they are gathered together, this is still the case.

Kevin thought to himself that he now completely understood the hunting mechanics of these people.

It turns out they were using the attraction properties of their Nen ability to hunt. But it's clear that only Materialization Type Nen ability with specific functionalities can produce an attraction effect.

Simply put, the key lies in whether the Nen Aura emanates outwards.

Nen abilities like those for reconnaissance spread Nen energy outwards; while conjuration-type Nen abilities, like those for weapons, ensure the basic durability of the weapon and endow it with the ability to govern its nature.

Nen Aura is generally solidified, and the weapons materialized by this type of Nen ability usually cannot be too far from the user, making them even more difficult to control at will.

In the realm of materialization abilities, reconnaissance-type abilities often excel in terms of free manipulation and distance from the object, focusing more on the addition of rules rather than the materialized object itself.

However, because Bianluoke's Nen ability was more concealed and less attractive, it took a full half hour to attract a single snake.

"Sure enough, those were just a warm-up for them." Xiahara seemed to have figured it out.

At this point, an hour and a half had passed since the hunt began.

"Alright, everyone, perk up! The real hunt has only just begun!" Bianluoke said, returning to his post.

Just then, the burly man who had spoken on the Watchtower crossed the Boundary. It seems that in the end, it still comes down to people attracting the stronger prey.

After the burly man stepped across the Boundary, his Nen Aura surged outwards like a raging torrent. He was deliberately creating a stronger attraction.

This tactic had an immediate effect.

Two eagle-like creatures cried out from the sky and swooped down like lightning, their aggression palpable.

Kevin suddenly realized that his previous actions were similar to "hoarding" bait.

If we compare this hunt to fishing, throwing out Nen ability creations to attract creatures is like casting bait at the fishing spot to lure some creatures over.

However, since these Nen ability creations have limited appeal, most of the creatures that actively come to attack are not very strong and are not numerous.

However, the attraction effect is real.

Once a certain level of attraction has been achieved, another person is sent out. This person acts as "bait," instantly increasing the attraction significantly. The creatures that were originally gathered around can no longer restrain themselves and flock towards this person.

At this moment, the villagers' hunting activities had reached a fever pitch.

Eagles flying in the sky, snakes, wild boars, and even rabbits running on the ground all rushed over in a swarm.

These animals Danger Level than those that appeared at the funeral some time ago.

This shows that the previous "nesting" behavior not only successfully attracted creatures, but also cleverly excluded more dangerous creatures, thus ensuring the safety of the hunting process.

In an instant, various Nen Bullet flew out like raindrops.

Those already weak animals were instantly annihilated, leaving only their carcasses.

Hooks, ropes, and thin lines were all deployed, and several strangely shaped Nen Beast could even be seen helping to move the prey.

By this time, the burly man in charge had retreated back to the Village. The Nen Beast that had participated in the transport had become the new targets. When the sun was high in the sky, a large amount of animal food had already piled up around the Village.

To be honest, I'm a little disappointed.

Kevin had been watching for a long time, couldn't help but say something.

Men Qi and the others naturally understood Kevin's meaning and could only shrug helplessly. After all, safety was the primary consideration for the villagers.

To ensure safety, the villagers used various alternating methods of attraction, sending people out one moment and Emission various Nen Beast the next.

In this way, the attractiveness level fluctuates, and through their experience, they manage to keep the Danger Level posed by the attracted creatures within a tolerable range.

However, this also resulted in the attracted organisms being of generally poor quality.

Kevin felt that these creatures might contain the materials he needed, but most of them would likely only be low- to mid- C-Rank materials, which he didn't currently lack.

However, Kevin could understand the villagers' actions.

At this moment, Bianluoke seemed to have completed his task and moved closer to them.

"Is the hunt over?" Gowen asked, looking at him.

But Bianluoke shook his head.

"If it were a normal hunt, it should indeed be over by now. But this time is different; the hunt has only just begun. These ingredients are too ordinary; they're simply not good enough for the Festival."

"Oh?!" Kevin, who had been losing interest, suddenly perked up.

"Look, Uncle Rabik has gone out again," Bianluoke said, pointing. Uncle Rabik was the burly man.

At this moment, Uncle Rabik strode confidently straight outside.

This action instantly attracted a large number of creatures. Although most of these creatures were still relatively weak, Uncle Rabik finally began to act with all his might.

His hands moved like knives, swiftly striking the beasts that pounced at him, instantly killing them in vital areas.

His left hand was piercing, constantly thrusting forward, each strike leaving bloody, gaping wounds on these creatures.

In less than half a minute, he had cleared away all the creatures surrounding him.

"Enhancement Type."

Kevin made a decision instantly.

"However, she's not as strong as me."
