After expanding the scope of the investigation slightly...

Once they confirmed that there was nothing else or any threatening creature besides the Mechanical Octopus, the two felt relieved and began to examine the mechanical body.

Kevin poked at the pile of mechanical parts with a stick, turning them over and over.

"It doesn't look like a man-made object, don't you think?" Kevin asked.

Melusina shook her head. "I don't know, I don't really understand these things."

She felt somewhat helpless.

Unlike Kevin, she couldn't simply look at these mechanical parts and determine that they might not have been made by humans.

Can these things be used as materials?

Melusina asked with some curiosity.

She remembered Kevin mentioning that it seemed like minerals could be used as materials.

Kevin reached out and touched it all, then shook his head.

"No, none of these can be used as materials, but this thing looks rather peculiar."

As he spoke, he took out a Sharp Gear, about the size of a thumb, from inside the Mechanical Octopus's upper body.

This is why he said the Mechanical Octopus's structure was not human-like; many of its mechanical parts looked somewhat anti-human and strange.

There are also many sharp parts.

"It's very peculiar; it looks like the God Text '."

Melusina glanced at the sharp gear and nodded.

The gear is engraved with strange patterns that closely resemble the God Text.

Of the entire body, only this gear has this structure.

"Looks like we really have to go around it; this thing looks exactly like something that came out of that tower."

Kevin thought for a moment and then made a judgment.

They were already in the area close to that High Tower, even though they were circling around it from a distance.

However, this area is very likely also within the High Tower's designated area.

The mechanical structure resembled a man-made object, as did the High Tower.

"Then let's go even further away tomorrow."

Nosra Manor.

Inside the Manor.

Jin left here two days ago.

However, although King left, his disciple Kite stayed.

According to Kim, Kite has completed her training and her Nen ability are fully developed; now it's time for her to go her own way.

Since Kevin was a friend of Kite's, Kite stayed to find out what happened next.

"Given the current situation, it seems I'm out of options, right?"

Kurapika, who had returned, sat on the sofa, sighed, and asked...

Biscuit nodded to the person opposite her.

"There's not much we can do for now; it's just too far away. But those two are really amazing; it's been almost half a month, and they're still full of energy."

Because of Rosana's Danger Scale, they roughly constructed an interpretation that now reflects Kevin and his group's situation. The first half of the danger level is basically considered normal, while if it falls to the second half, it may be because Kevin and his group are in battle.

It has fallen below half several times recently.

However, most of them recover after a short period of time, indicating that the battle is over.

What they didn't expect was that Kevin and his group had been in the Dark Continent for more than half a month and hadn't encountered any fatal danger.

This prevents Rosana's abilities from being used.

In Jin's words, the only way to pull someone back from that place using Nen ability is in the most critical moment, when all conditions are at their most extreme.

Otherwise, it's meaningless.

After Biscuit agreed with this statement.

Nen ability are essentially like wishes; if one's will is strong enough and the conditions are demanding enough, one can make a wish that is as miraculous as a dream.

As for that Ruins, it had already been protected by the Jin people, so he went there to conduct research.

"Is there nothing we can do but wait? And wait for Kevin and the others to be in mortal danger? This feeling is truly unpleasant."

Men Qi felt somewhat helpless.

The two of them originally knew very little about the Dark Continent, but their understanding of it has increased rapidly in the past few days.

After staying for only a few days, Men Qi and the others began to leave one after another.

Because they really can't offer any help at the moment.

Just remember to tell Kurapika and the others if there's any news about them.

Because of the situation Kevin and his companion found themselves in,

At this stage, Kurapika and his group have essentially scaled back their operations.

Apart from Red Stone Pharmaceuticals and the Pharmacy, all other activities have ceased.

Dark Continent.

Since encountering the Mechanical Octopus that night, Kevin and his companion have distanced themselves even further from the man-made High Tower.

We plan to take a long detour to avoid getting too close to the High Tower and causing unnecessary danger.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar.

A gigantic Giant Lizard, resembling several elephants stacked together, was killed by Kevin.

"The farther away from that tower, the more enormous creatures there are. It seems there must be those mechanical creations within the tower's perimeter."

It will eliminate any threatening creatures in the vicinity.

Melusina looked at the lizard and directed the four Nen Beasts to deal with it, saying from the side.

Kevin nodded. "That should be it."

That's obvious.

The plain was much larger than they had imagined, and they had been traveling for quite some time toward the High Tower.

Although we've circled around a bit, we still haven't seen the Boundary of the plain.

Instead, some areas were designated.

He felt he had most likely already left the Giant Bird's hunting range.

In the first half of the plains, the creatures were mostly in groups and weren't particularly large.

Although they are all very large, they are not so large as to be exaggerated.

And this was even more true as they approached the High Tower; there were no large ferocious beasts left, only small animals smaller than themselves.

As they distanced themselves from the High Tower and circled around it, some enormous creatures began to appear.

They're getting more and more outrageous.

Seven or eight meters, or even nine meters, are generally the norm.

Take, for example, the lizard they're hunting right now.

These crawling creatures, which lie on the ground, are at least five meters tall and more than ten meters long.

Even though Kevin exuded malice, the creature was not afraid at all, because Kevin and his companions were too small.

In such situations, body size is generally sufficient to determine and assess the difference in strength between the two sides.

Moreover, these are enormous creatures.

Even the weakest of them were stronger than the "Calamity Dragon" that Kevin had hunted before.

I watched as the Four Maids disposed of the body.

Kevin stared at the sky, looking left and right, hoping to spot another fool who might try to steal his things.
