Sharp-Tooth Parasites X Jin Arrives

Digestion Potion.

This is the potion that Melusina pointed out. Now, Kevin can clearly feel the wriggling worm inside his stomach.

The finger-length worms began to spread from his stomach. If Kevin hadn't been able to clearly perceive the changes in his body and sense the subtle details of his body through his Nen Aura, he would have been completely overwhelmed.

He was completely unable to detect these insects.

Time waits for no one.

The problem must be solved quickly while these insects can still be digested.

The so-called "Digestion Potion" is essentially an enhancement of Kevin's body's digestive abilities, as well as its capacity for nutrient absorption and storage.

Although this ability is only temporary,

But that's enough to teach those parasites that have burrowed into my stomach a lesson.

There's no time to lose.

Kevin pulled out the medication directly, endured the pain, and injected it into his body with Syringe.

As the liquid flows in.

The medicine began to take effect.

The drug's effects instantly spread throughout Kevin's body, and his entire body began to consume the food.

Its powerful energy expenditure began to assault the parasites that had burrowed into Kevin's body.

However, compared to ordinary food...

These living, powerful parasites, who somehow managed to get in, did not submit so easily.

The fact that these parasites can enter an organism's body through such covert means is enough to demonstrate that they are extremely weak.

They rely on mechanisms and methods rather than their own strength.

After the drug's effects lasted for five minutes, the parasites inside Kevin's body began to dissolve and die, turning into energy that entered Kevin's body.

It tried to grow and survive by parasitizing, but instead became nourishment for Kevin.

"Call."

Sensing the changes within his body, Kevin leaned heavily against the stone wall beside him, panting heavily.

"When did you go in?" he murmured.

She looked at Melusina, who had a worried expression on her face.

"And you, have you felt anything wrong with your body?"

However, Melusina shook her head.

"I just checked myself, and I haven't noticed any unusual changes. I haven't detected any parasites in my body."

Kevin nodded.

"That's true, there's absolutely no room for carelessness."

Parasites that enter the body directly and then multiply in the stomach generally enter through food.

For the past few days, their food consisted of supplies they had brought with them, but today they ate the animals they had hunted and the water from the river.

The problem is that they weren't that careless. They checked both the food and the water, and they did indeed eat it by stewing.

I thought everything was fine.

Unexpectedly, a problem still arose.

While Kevin didn't expect that ordinary stewing would kill the parasites, he needed at least some clues.

Moreover, he didn't even realize it before it entered his body, which means that this parasite was indeed not Nen ability creature.

Before they grow up, they may not necessarily emanate their own Nen Aura.

Its concealment has been taken to the extreme.

Kevin's first suspicion was about the water source.

But the question is, why doesn't Melusina have a problem?

No parasites were found in the captured animals.

That stream is a water source for many creatures in the area, so why are they unharmed?

Unfortunately, I was the one who got infected.

As the effects of the medicine wore off.

Kevin's skin began to become oily and shiny, and his whole body became noticeably fatter.

"Did you just gain weight like that?" Melusina asked, somewhat surprised.

Because Kevin's changes are very obvious.

Kevin had recovered from his earlier exhaustion.

Feeling the changes in his body, he clenched his fist and punched it a few times in the air.

"Such high energy content, such strong nutritional value."

He couldn't help but sigh like that.

Although he couldn't determine exactly how many parasites were in his body, he figured the number wouldn't be too high.

After digesting it all at once, it brought out so much energy, more than any meal Kevin had ever eaten before.

"Is this the Dark Continent? Even parasites are top-tier nutritional food?"

I don't know if it's because of the parasites' unique characteristics, or because that's just how the Dark Continent is.

I spent another two days around the shelter.

Kevin had pretty much figured out the surroundings; they were just incredibly lucky.

After being thrown into the Dark Continent, they should be in a relatively safe area.

He didn't see any trace of large creatures around, perhaps because this was the territory of the Giant Bird.

Because the Giant Bird flew over their heads again yesterday.

This time, Kevin suppressed his suppressed rage and took a quick look. The Giant Bird was holding a long worm of unknown size in its claws.

As for the Giant Bird's appearance, it was unclear due to its enormous size.

"If this place is full of giant creatures like these, I don't know how anyone could survive."

Kevin was somewhat helpless.

Even if his attacks were effective, against a giant creature, even if he could break through its defenses, it would be like an ant biting Chimera Ant.

Let them bite; minor damage is meaningless.

Being too large can create a feeling of weakness.

Shaking his head helplessly, he carried the water bottle and a furry, lumpy creature back to the shelter.

He is now able to hunt creatures.

It's not that he's made much progress, but rather that he's become increasingly skilled at using "wind."

By controlling its power, it can be made silent, making it easier to hunt these weak creatures.

After returning to the shelter.

Melusina took the organism; he was about to begin processing it.

Kevin took the pot of water and disposed of it himself.

He needs to get rid of the parasites inside.

He didn't know what these parasites were actually called, so he just gave them random names.

[Sharp-Tooth Parasite]

In the past few days, he has finally figured out what these parasites are all about.

Those are the water sources.

Whether it's these small creatures or the body of Melusina, there are actually parasite Insect Egg inside.

However, they don't erupt randomly. In most cases, they enter the bodies of organisms along the water source and then remain as Insect Egg.

Sometimes they can even stay with an organism for its entire life.

Most of the time, they end up inside stronger organisms as these creatures are preyed upon.

In this way, they gradually enter the bodies of stronger organisms until one of them meets their standards.

They will burst forth instantly, achieving a parasitic effect.

Kevin was chosen because Kevin physical energy levels met the required standards.

Kevin is Enhancement Type, and his Nen power has exceeded 100,000.

Thoughts are the manifestation of life.

Kevin strongly suspects that these insects make their judgments by suppressing the amount of Nen within the organism.

For most living beings, Nen ability are developed naturally and used according to their instincts.

Or it could simply be that one's own growth has led to an expansion of one's mental capacity.

The more powerful a creature is, the more abundant its mental energy will naturally be.

So that's why the parasite chose Kevin, even though both Kevin and Melusina are human.

Because these parasites were deceived.

They believed Kevin was a creature with extremely strong Life Force, so they unleashed their power without hesitation.

However, Kevin's life essence is not much different from that of ordinary humans; it's just that intelligent beings have improved their learning and mastery of Nen ability.

The deception was successfully achieved.

Melusina, whose Nen capacity is only around 30,000 to 40,000, clearly does not meet the standard.

Through refined manipulation of his Nen ability and keen perception, Kevin can now locate parasite Insect Egg in water sources and crush them with his Nen Aura.

There aren't many of these parasites; sometimes, if you're lucky enough, you might not find even one in several liters of water.

After finishing the meal.

Kevin said, "I think I've found the direction facing the sea. Let's get ready and start our operation in a few days. It's safe here—but we can't stay here forever."

Moreover, this is the Dark Continent; there is no truly safe place. One day, a giant creature could suddenly emerge from here.

This naturally leads to a dangerous situation.

And they do want to return to human society; they are not ready to come to the Dark Continent.

No matter how slim the hope may be, we should still give it a try.

Upon hearing this, Melusina nodded without hesitation.

"Alright, let's hunt more these next few days."

Nosra Manor.

Biscuit arrived here first.

I learned about Kevin and his group's situation.

How could they be so unlucky?

He lay on the sofa, feeling utterly helpless.

The details of Kevin and his friends' Exile have been basically reconstructed by Pairo and Kurapika.

At this moment, Kurapika and his companions were still in the direction of the Ruins, where they would be on standby at any time.

After simulating various traces.

It almost perfectly recreated the scene.

However, these are clearly not the main points.

The real question is how to rescue Kevin and the others from the Dark Continent.

"Wait a minute, someone who knows more about the Dark Continent than I do is on their way."

Facing the gazes of the group, Biscuit offered a small consolation.

Kim clearly knows more than she does.

In the world of top Hunter x Hunter, Jin's target is almost obvious. He has never hidden or avoided it. Everyone knows that any information or intelligence related to the Dark Continent will attract Jin.

It should be about time.

Just then, an announcement came from the Gate.

Before the order could be relayed back, someone swaggered in.

"No need to stop them."

A moment later, the Gate opened.

Two figures, one tall and one short, walked into the hall.

"Kite?" Basho, somewhat surprised.

The tall, thin, white-haired man among the two short men was Kite, and he showed a surprised expression when he saw Basho there.

Jin seemed completely unconcerned, as if he hadn't heard anything, or perhaps he already knew.

He walked straight to the sofa, sat down, and looked down at Biscuit.

"Let's search for detailed information. Don't bother with unnecessary details; firstly, how did you determine that Kevin is on the Dark Continent?"

Jin acted swiftly and decisively, getting straight to the heart of the matter.

Biscuit casually tossed a Notebook over.

I opened it and took a look.

It contained that fable poem.

"A prophetic Nen ability? What was its accuracy rate before?"

"One hundred percent," Biscuit said.

Upon hearing that it was 100%, Jin raised his head slightly, showing some surprise.

"That's impressive. Nen ability, is it that little girl's?"

He pointed directly to Nion, who was sitting on another sofa.

Pairo and Rosana's expressions changed slightly, and Shalnark simply materialized her [Bulge-Eye Fish] and carried it on her shoulder.

It's the kind of performance that I'll type it up as soon as you give the order.

Biscuit was somewhat helpless.

You really are annoying.

"Hmph, I don't care about that."

Jin did it simply to satisfy his curiosity.

He knew, of course, that even if he guessed correctly, it was better for everyone to keep this information to themselves and not ask about it.

But he insisted on asking, wanting a definite answer to satisfy his curiosity.

As for other people's feelings, that's not important.

Kite was somewhat bewildered at this moment.

Does Kim actually know Kevin?

Moreover, Kevin has gone missing, and Kim was commissioned to find Kevin.

So that's why the Basho plant is here?

His mind raced, and he was momentarily stunned.

He followed Jin the whole time without asking for any information.

Even more outrageous, Kevin actually disappeared and ended up in the Dark Continent.

Kite knows about the Dark Continent; after all, he's considered Jin's disciple, and he spends a lot of time preparing for it and gathering information.

Jin never hides himself from others when he does these things, so he is aware of many related matters.

"What about other intelligence? I've already gathered most of the information I wanted before coming here, but I need more from you, the parties involved."

Biscuit simply pushed the stack of information on the table towards them.

Jin began to skim through the document quickly.

He glanced at most of the intelligence casually and then paid no further attention to it.

Then I watched the video again.

"It really is this place."

Looking at the Ruins in the video, Jin seemed completely unsurprised.

"You know this place?" Biscuit asked, frowning.

Jin nodded. "Of course, anyone interested in the Dark Continent would inevitably visit this Ruins."

This Ruins serves as concrete evidence that humanity's ancestors originated from the Dark Continent.

Nearby, you can also see some small Ruins buried deep underground, as well as some remains.

"The location of this Ruins was likely the center of the world in ancient times, and most of modern human civilization originated from here."

Simply put, the ancestors of humankind came here from the Dark Continent and gathered at the location of this Ruins. As the population grew, they began to divide into different tribes and migrate to the surrounding areas.

"I felt there was something wrong with this Ruins before, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Now it seems that it requires some very special conditions to trigger it."

As he spoke, he shared some relevant information that he had previously known with the group.

"Besides demonstrating authority and holding Succession Ceremony, this Mountain Temple has another very important function."

He said he raised the Prophecy Poem and nodded.

"Exile."

He looked at Biscuit.

"You should know that many of the strange magical Demonic Beast, Phantom Beast, and Rare Beast in human society today were actually brought here by our ancestors."

Biscuit nodded; he knew that.

Those so-called intelligent magical Demonic Beast were actually more like vassals or servants of humanity at the time.

"Among them were some so-called nobles. In aristocratic culture, Exile was already considered the cruelest punishment."

"In a life of ease, the greatest power lies in Exile these erring nobles back to their former places."

This is reminiscent of the content in the Prophecy Poem.

The implications of this are self-evident.
