Where Am I X Parasites

Dark Continent.

Kevin came to the creek once again.

Keep your eyes fixed on that stream.

"This godforsaken place, they're all hidden pretty well."

This time he finally saw the creatures lurking by the riverbank; he had come several times before, only to be deceived by them.

Even now, he can only see it vaguely.

But never mind, it's best not to touch these strange-looking creatures.

He came here to fetch water.

Take the container to the stream, and after confirming that there is no danger around, fill the container with the clear liquid.

After filling up, they quickly left.

Back inside the shelter.

Then I saw a maid-type Nen Beast handling a furry animal.

"You hunted it?"

Kevin looked at Melusina with some surprise.

Seeing Kevin's surprised look, Melusina raised her head slightly, somewhat smugly.

"How about that? I'm awesome, right?"

"Impressive, but how did you do that?"

Kevin was genuinely surprised this time.

He's been wandering around the area quite a bit these past few days.

This area can be considered safe.

Just as the Record Book says, even in the Dark Continent, it's easy to find a safe zone if you don't have a specific goal.

Because this place is just too big.

Perhaps your so-called safe zone is in the territory of some enormous creature, but humanity itself is still a small creature in the vast Dark Continent.

For such large creatures, humans have never been a target for hunting.

Those creatures that prey on humans are always those that are not much larger than humans or are the same size as humans.

If those powerful, strangely capable creatures target humans, it makes no sense unless there are too many humans or they actively provoke them.

Because energy is limited, even the largest and Overlord creatures cannot waste their stamina in a place like the Dark Continent where only the fittest survive.

Kevin suspected that the area he was in might very well be the territory of that giant flying creature that had flown overhead that day.

As for the surrounding area, what might it be? Slightly weaker creatures living there.

Because so far he hasn't seen any large predators, mostly small creatures the size of a head, like foxes and rabbits.

Or perhaps some smaller, eerie creatures.

For example, that damn Butterfly last night,

Small creatures like foxes and rabbits, on the other hand, focus almost entirely on stealth, alertness, and speed.

"Hmph."

Upon hearing Kevin's words, Melusina smugly hummed twice, then began to suppress her aura.

The Nen Beast disappeared.

Melusina entered a state of absolute stillness, her aura completely disappearing, her concealment becoming increasingly stronger until Kevin could no longer sense her location.

If the other person wasn't standing right in front of him, he truly wouldn't be able to notice them unless he used a circle to sweep them.

"Wow, that's impressive! In just a few days, your skills have already integrated into the hunting ecosystem?"

Melusina's learning ability is simply astounding.

But then I thought about it again, Melusina was Saintess, so her talent was beyond doubt.

Kevin's talent and learning ability are naturally much better than before, but they are still at a normal or slightly above-average level.

Compared to these true geniuses, there's absolutely no comparison.

"There's no other way, it's too dangerous here, I have to take action."

Melusina said, clenching her fist.

Kevin smiled and nodded.

The two of them had fallen into this godforsaken place and had to unleash their full power to survive.

Boil the water, then put the food into a simple pot to stew.

The two sat next to each other, chatting idly.

"Are you saying those Butterfly are only found in this area, or are they everywhere?"

"I don't know." Melusina shook her head.

This is actually very important, as it helps determine their exact location within the Dark Continent.

If this is only found in this area, then their current location is very likely the place where Vipera and his group once visited.

But if that's the case, another question arises: why were they specifically left in this place?

Sigh, one question after another is puzzling, yet there are absolutely no answers.

"Let's decide on our goal: do we try to survive here, or do we try to get back?"

"Of course, survival comes first, then we can think about whether there's a way to get back."

Regardless of the method used, staying here indefinitely is clearly impossible.

But they can make some preparations here first, such as preparing a certain amount of food and water, since it is at least safe here for now.

"Once we're ready, we should confirm which side is the sea and head towards it; that would be more beneficial for us," Kevin said thoughtfully.

Because it's very simple, whether it's Vipera's records or the book they were reading.

The writings were mainly done around the shoreline.

If they want to go back, they need to determine their exact location, then figure out their current direction, find the right path, and head back.

First, we need to determine the first point.

The Dark Continent is ridiculously large.

The area around Lake Mobius alone far exceeds the scope of the human world.

The various environments described in the book also vary greatly.

In the worst-case scenario, the likelihood of them being on the West Coast is very low.

Because there was absolutely no intelligence from the West Coast, if we were there, we could simply declare ourselves finished.

They first identified it as Butterfly.

Therefore, they are very likely to be on the East Coast. Thinking further, the Butterfly might only be found in a specific area.

They are very likely in the direction of Vipera's records now.

Heading to the seaside might lead them to a smuggling route, which would significantly increase their chances of returning home.

He started eating while pondering the matter.

"Starting tomorrow, I'll have to explore the area thoroughly and figure out which side is closer to the sea."

This is a troublesome matter; they have to make inferences based on water flow, soil, vegetation growth, and the clouds in the sky.

Moreover, it's not necessarily accurate to say that this is the Dark Continent.

"Take your time, there's no point in rushing. We've already done a remarkable job by surviving here."

Melusina said with a smile from the side.

"You're not wrong. We're already quite fortunate to have gotten this far, even if we were forced to."

This can be considered finding joy in hardship.

After all, many Hunter x Hunter are still trying their best to get to the Dark Continent, but the two of them were thrown into the Dark Continent without doing anything.

Suddenly, Kevin seemed to sense something.

He touched his stomach.

Stop eating!

He Melusina over directly.

Melusina immediately became alert, then looked at Kevin face was flushed and who was pressing his stomach.

There was something wrong with the food we just ate.

"How can I help you?!" Melusina suppressing her anxiety.

Kevin gritted his teeth.

He felt something in his stomach, like a worm he had swallowed.

Does it have parasites?

"Um!"

He let out a muffled groan.

The pain kept coming from my abdomen.

He used his Nen Aura to scan his body, and found tiny, thumb-sized worms inside his stomach.

When did this happen?

What should we do now?

Melusina's eyes sparkled, and pink Nen Aura began to surge.

"Speak up!"

"It's parasites, there are parasites in my stomach."

Nen ability activated.

As if prompted by something, Melusina took out a potion from Kevin's waist without hesitation.

Kevin looked at the potion and thought it might work.
