Villagers unable to gain their freedom.

The Boundary that prevents them from leaving is both Cage and a wall that blocks dangers from the outside world.

Once they cross the Boundary, they become Attraction Source, with swarms of creatures eager to devour them.

However, if they stay within the Boundary, their allure disappears, and the powerful creatures roaming the entire Secret Realm are unwilling to approach the Boundary.

Even living creatures lose their Life Force rapidly once brought into a village; even the strongest creatures cannot survive more than three days.

This is the result of their ancestors' experiments.

At this moment, they appear weak.

But their ancestors were Martial Virtue Abundant.

As the [Traveling Chef] at the time, the Village had no shortage of Nen Ability Masters.

After being Curse, they actively responded, even trying various methods to resolve the issue through the Village's existing connections.

However, due to various reasons, they all ultimately failed.

But it also left them with a valuable gain—some characteristics of the Curse.

The lifestyle we have today, as well as the standard procedures for various hunting activities, are all inherited from that time.

Thanks to these things left by their ancestors, their descendants, though confined to the Village, have lived quite well.

But today.

The long-standing characteristic has been broken.

Despite their instinctive disgust, those creatures stretched parts of their bodies inside the Boundary.

For these villagers confined to the Village, this was a complete collapse of their worldview.

"Ah!"

Another scream rang out.

The third creature was extremely fast, and in the meantime, it had already reached the Boundary.

It was a Frog -like creature, about the size of an elephant, and the smallest of the three.

However, its original location was several hundred meters away from the Boundary.

A long, thin red tongue suddenly flew in, its target the Saintess.

The scene of the tentacles reaching in and grabbing the villagers was still deeply shocking to everyone, and no one had time to react.

The red tongue moved with incredible speed, instantly enveloping the Saintess before retracting itself.

"Melusina! We can't let the Saintess be captured! Go and save her!"

This scene brought the initially shocked Village Chief back to his senses, and he became somewhat frantic, shouting loudly.

The surrounding villagers immediately wanted to take action.

However, Rabik shouted, stopping them. "Back off! Get off the Boundary! Everyone get off the Boundary!"

His words stopped the villagers who were about to take action.

At this moment, most of the villagers were in a state of complete confusion.

"Rabik!"

The Village Chief shouted angrily.

However, Rabik just glared at him fiercely. "You old man! Those monsters can break through the Boundary, but judging from their appearance, only a limited number can get in. They still hate this place."

"Everyone, get back to the Boundary immediately! If another one gets pulled out, we're all doomed!"

The appeal of one villager is limited, but two have already been drawn away; what if a few more came along?

That attraction will be amplified to an unstoppable degree.

The Village will then be surrounded by monsters.

Now these monsters have actually broken through the Boundary, and the danger involved is simply unimaginable.

Just how much did they loathe it?

What if the attraction is so great that it drives them crazy, causing them to abandon their initial aversion and force their way in?

The consequences are unimaginable.

Therefore, Rabik's approach was entirely correct; he reacted extremely quickly.

The Village Chief realized what was happening, but his face turned bright red.

Clearly, he found it completely unacceptable that the Saintess had been taken away.

"No, we have to bring Melusina back, you understand?"

"Damn it, everyone get off the Boundary."

The two appeared to be arguing and shouting, but they quickly reached a consensus.

"Let's go."

Kevin and his three companions quickly reached the Boundary.

"If you go out again, things will get out of control."

Looking at Kevin, the Village Chief suddenly realized what was going on.

Yes.

There are also Hunter x Hunter in the Village, and they are not Curse.

He hurriedly and excitedly shouted, "Please rescue Melusina! We will reward you handsomely!"

Rabik stared at the group.

His expression was serious; he didn't immediately agree, and finally only said, "Thank you."

Kevin and his group rushed straight across the Boundary.

In this situation, the best candidates for rescue would undoubtedly be the four of them, as they are unaffected by the Curse and have no allure.

Moreover, they wanted the materials from these monsters.

If we let them search on their own, it could take them months.

And now.

These monsters came to us willingly.

Although the situation is tense, in some ways it is a good thing for Kevin and his team.

Of course, this is all predicated on the fact that they can actually defeat these monsters.

"Leave the Rhinoceros to me."

The charging Xiahara immediately selected his target and spoke directly.

"I'm going to find that snake; that villager shouldn't have been eaten yet."

"Then I'll go too."

Men Qi and Gowen both chose the snake as their target.

The remaining targets were naturally left to Kevin.

Far away.

The Saintess was bound by her tongue and suspended in mid-air, while the Frog's mouth was wide open.

At that moment, Kevin heard a voice again.

"It's like a persistent ghost."

But saving lives is the priority right now.

He needs to act quickly.

Kevin crouched on the ground, his Nen Aura surging forth.

"Bang!"

The powerful force blasted a crater in the ground, and Kevin had vanished from the spot.

His speed was outrageous, and a piercing whistling sound filled the air.

He was like a missile launched from the sky.

Shut up!

Kevin punched the Frog directly in the face, the powerful force instantly creating a bloody crater in its cheek. The force rippled outwards like waves.

The Frog's entire body was blasted away.

The problem is that its tongue is still bound to Melusina, showing no sign of loosening.

Or perhaps Kevin's attack was too fast, leaving its tongue no time to react.

Just then, the snake coiled around Melusina bit her tongue.

The tongue immediately went limp and released the Saintess, Saintess fell from the sky.

After throwing a punch, Kevin leaped into the air.

He caught the Saintess steadily.

So light.

The Saintess was much lighter than he had imagined.

The rain was still pouring down.

After catching the Saintess, Kevin reached up with his right hand, grabbed the snake's tail, and pulled it down as well.

However, at the moment of contact.

The longing surged forth like a tidal wave.

Fortunately, Kevin was well-trained in this area, and even with a strong desire, he remained unmoved.

Are you alright?

After landing, Kevin looked at the Saintess in his arms and asked...

Melusina raised her head slightly, her face somewhat pale, and looked at Kevin.

She was completely soaked, and her already somewhat fitted clothes clung tightly to her body.

He shook his head.

Kevin had intended to put Melusina, but the attack came instantly.

He had no choice but to jump backward while holding the other person, thus avoiding the sudden attack of the tongue.

The target wasn't me?

Kevin could have reacted much faster if the target had been him, but the problem was that the target was the Saintess in his arms.

In this situation, the objective is so clear.

This shows just how attractive these villagers are.

These creatures are completely indifferent to even the most deadly attacks.

"It's like a toad trying to eat swan meat."

Kevin looked at the Frog and remarked that the comment was so fitting for the situation that he couldn't help but say it aloud.

"Huh?" Kevin's words Melusina had just escaped danger, somewhat bewildered.

Another attack of tongues came hurtling towards them.

This time Kevin did not dodge.

With a sudden grab of his right hand, he firmly grasped the tongue that had been launched at him.

"Your attack speed is even slower than a bird's."

Kevin muttered something to himself, glancing at the Saintess in his arms.

Seeing the other person's panicked and helpless eyes, all I could do was offer comfort.

"I mean, don't be afraid, it's all over now."

As he spoke, Kevin forcefully twisted his right hand.

The Frog, still attached to its tongue, was pulled to the ground by a powerful force.
