An Unexpected Convergence X Soaring Through the Sky

This Altar area, located inside the Volcano, is impressive, but not very large.

Only the central Altar area can be freely accessed.

The group strolled around casually for a bit, getting a general understanding of the area.

Where could it be?

Kevin paced back and forth on the platform, deep in thought.

There must be something attached to it.

Resentment doesn't just appear out of thin air; it doesn't form into something like a ghost or spirit—it's intangible, ethereal, and elusive.

It will only create something like a resentful spirit beast.

But even a vengeful spirit beast will have a solid entity as its vessel.

This kind of thing is generally called Nen tool).

They might even become national treasures of certain forces, families, or countries, like the dagger Kevin had before, and the book he has now.

Before these two items became sources of Resentment, they were simply other people's Nen ability.

But once it becomes Resentment, it naturally takes on a physical form.

This is a necessary basis.

Could it be down there?

Pakunoda squatted on the edge, pointing to the Magma below and asking.

This place is only so big.

Where else could it be hidden, unless it's in the Magma below?

"Hey, stop joking."

"Men Qi said."

Kevin was genuinely afraid that Kevin would suddenly have a brain fart and actually jump into the Magma.

That's not something that can be easily resisted simply by having great strength.

Humans have a natural fear of fire, let alone something like Magma, which looks terrifying.

"Maybe it really is possible."

Kevin suddenly said.

Men Qi slapped her forehead; she knew it.

"The temperature of Magma varies depending on its fluidity; for example, the temperature of magma like the one shown below might be around 1200 degrees Celsius."

"The barrier I can create with my telekinetic Nen ability can completely block temperatures of 1200 degrees Celsius, ensuring my safety."

Kevin is genuinely considering this possibility.

However, to raise the temperature of one's protective barrier to resist external temperatures, more Nen Aura is needed, but the amount of Nen is more than sufficient.

Of course, he couldn't possibly withstand that temperature with his bare body; he's still within the realm of humanity.

"This is inherently a dangerous act. You should at least be sure what you want is in Magma before going down, right?"

"How can you be sure how deep the Magma is? What if the object isn't there, or it's somewhere much deeper? Are you going to dive down there?"

Men Qi reminded him and warned Kevin.

"Don't worry, I didn't say I wanted to go down. I just said that with my abilities, I could go down and take a trip."

"Try using a more precise circle."

If you want to improve the precision of a circle, then the circle certainly cannot be extended to a very great distance.

This has little to do with the amount of recitation.

Take Kevin for example. His circles can extend to distances measured in kilometers, but if precision is required, even if they are launched in a cylindrical shape, the distance is only about 100 meters at most.

Of course, this distance is already quite far, but it is still far compared to other achievable distances.

He had just scanned the area with this level of precision and found nothing unusual.

The only unusual thing he discovered was that the platform he was standing on was indeed completely unrelated to the surrounding minerals.

Hearing Kevin's words, Men Qi roughly knew what he wanted to do.

He sighed, clapped his hands, and released his Nen Aura. Soon, a Griffin made of Nen Aura landed on the platform.

"Griffin?!"

Pakunoda screamed.

He hadn't expected to see Phantom Beast here, but it was clear that this Phantom Beast was created by Men Qi using his Nen Aura.

"No way, you know Nen ability." Men Qi reminded him speechlessly.

But at this moment, Pakunoda clearly a little excited.

"But this is Griffin! Even if it's Nen ability, there must be certain conditions to create a Nen Beast based on a Phantom Beast, like having seen something before?"

After saying that, Pakunoda suddenly calmed down, shut her mouth, and said with a slight apology, "I'm sorry, I didn't intend to probe your Nen ability."

While demonstrating Nen ability allows one to begin analyzing another's Nen ability, directly asking such a question is still quite impolite.

Many Nen ability become fatal once the rules are known.

Men Qi waved her hand dismissively.

"It's alright, it doesn't matter if I know the conditions for my Nen ability. I've hunted and eaten before, so I can construct it."

The process of building Nen ability is unrelated to combat, so knowing about it is irrelevant.

"Wow, that's impressive! You've even hunted before."

Pakunoda didn't have any thoughts of condemnation; before becoming Hunter x Hunter, he himself was a genuine Hunter x Hunter.

He wants to become Phantom Beast Hunter and also has the desire to hunt.

"Okay, I'll go down and take a look first."

Kevin was about to jump onto the Griffin when he suddenly stopped and looked back at the passageway they had come from.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately turned their attention to the passageway.

"What's wrong?"

"Someone's here?"

Kevin nodded.

"Stay vigilant; after all, we're probably not the only team tracking the Phoenix in this forest."

This was to be expected.

However, they were probably the fastest at tracking the Phoenix.

I just didn't expect anyone else to follow, and so quickly.

"Buhara is still at the gate; a conflict might break out with them."

After thinking it over, the group decided to go out first.

Entrance/Passageway.

Buhaci had already adopted a wary stance, watching the strangers approaching from the front.

There are quite a few people.

A group of soldiers dressed in camouflage uniforms, many of whom were carrying weapons.

Iffal looked at Buhaci standing at the tunnel entrance with some surprise; he hadn't expected anyone to be faster than them.

At this point, there's no point in dawdling anymore.

He stepped forward and asked directly.

"Are you here to track down that Phoenix too?"

Buhaci frowned as he looked at him, then nodded slightly.

Just then, a sound came from the tunnel.

They watched as Kevin and the others came out.

Seeing Kevin and the others emerge, Iffal's imposing manner diminished slightly.

As a special forces member of the Kakin Empire and a Hunter x Hunter, he was not lacking in information.

Although he didn't recognize Buhaci at first glance, after seeing Kevin and the others come out, he roughly knew who the group of people in front of him were.

The problem is that there are five Hunter x Hunter here, three of whom are One-star Hunter.

Moreover, Kevin has gained considerable fame in recent years, especially after recently defeating the Phantom Troupe.

This is already proof of force.

Kevin looked at the group of soldiers in front of him and said bluntly, "If you're here for the Phoenix too, then you're too late."

He could tell that there were about twenty people in front of him, six of whom were Nen user.

The guy in the lead looks pretty strong.

But it's alright.

In any case, they got it on a first-come, first-served basis.

"We were only commissioned to capture it, so—could you sell it to us through a trade?"

Looking at the composition of the team in front of him, Iffal assumed they might have captured the Phoenix and asked them directly.

And there may be more than five people.

There might be one or two people already inside the tunnel.

At least that's how it seems, according to Iffal.

Just then...

The ground started shaking again.

Noticing the shaking, Kevin looked into the tunnel without hesitation.

He sensed a presence emanating from within, carrying a hint of Resentment.

The Phoenix is inside.

However, he immediately sensed something and looked up at the top of the Volcano.

Everyone looked up at the Volcano.

The shaking became increasingly severe.

A scorching heat billowed out from inside the tunnel.

"The Volcano is about to erupt!"

An unfamiliar voice came from afar.

Everyone turned to look.

It was Ann and Tell; the one who made the sound was Ann, the Volcano Hunter.

He was shouting something frantically as he rushed over.

"How is this possible? How could it suddenly erupt? If it really is Phoenix, how could it do that?"

From a scientific perspective, Magma eruptions are caused by geological activity.

The eruption of Volcano can only be caused by changes in geological activity.

Could the Phoenix be some kind of deity that rules the earth?

"You're Special Operations Team from the Kakin Empire, aren't you? Get out of here, disaster is inevitable."

Tell, more experienced in such situations, quickly warned that if a Volcano eruption was inevitable, the dense vegetation in the surrounding area would definitely trigger a wildfire.

"Won't this Volcano eruption trigger other Volcano to erupt as well?"

If it were just this one Volcano erupting, at its most extreme, it might create a firebreak to control the spread of the fire.

If it's all within this Volcanic Cluster, then there's nothing that can be done.

Upon hearing this question, An couldn't give a direct answer. He could only exclaim helplessly, "How can I be sure? We just came from another Volcano, and that Volcano was perfectly normal."

"But obviously, this Volcano was normal before. Who knows how that Phoenix caused Volcano to erupt."

The scene suddenly became somewhat chaotic.

Suddenly, a series of inexplicable crises piled up.

Should we leave here first?

Men Qi looked at Kevin and asked.

If the Volcano erupts, then they obviously won't be able to do anything here anymore.

Iffal and his Special Operations Team also prepared to leave. They were at the foot of the Volcano and could be harmed if it erupted.

Kevin didn't speak, but instead looked at the Volcano.

Through the circle he shot out, he could perceive the Phoenix just emerging from the bottom of the Magma.

It really was inside Magma pool.

At this moment, because the Phoenix carried Resentment, it was easy for Kevin to detect it, and he was currently in the Magma.

Although it cannot be clearly perceived, it is likely that it used some kind of power to guide the Magma upwards.

The earthquake was caused by the other side stirring up Magma. Because it was Volcano, the vent at the top had long been blocked due to time.

The pressure of the Magma erupting upwards caused the area around the Volcano to shake violently.

If that's the case, then the violent shaking in other places earlier was also because the Phoenix was trying to guide the Magma to break through the Volcano's passage.

"Wait a minute, you have the ability to detect whether Volcano is erupting, right?"

Kevin pointed to the stranger who had just spoken and asked.

When asked this question so suddenly, An nodded immediately.

"Of course, I'm a Volcano Hunter."

"Don't rush, come over and take a closer look."

Upon hearing this, An also quickly came over; that had been his original purpose.

He began to study it carefully using his Nen ability.

He wore a helmet over his face, through which the flowing data could be seen through the semi-transparent visor.

The Nen ability during materialization.

"So that's how it is. The Phoenix caused the Volcano eruption in this way?"

"In other words, the previous shaking was caused by the phoenix trying to trigger eruptions in other Volcano in this way Phoenix is constantly activating all the Volcano, making the originally dormant Magma active and forming Magma Chamber."

And it has already succeeded.

It has now reached the point where it has triggered Magma to erupt upwards, creating a vent.

Once the passage is cleared, it could cause the Volcano to become active and erupt again.

"Men Qi, the Griffin is ready."

Although she didn't know what Kevin was going to do, Men Qi nodded and constructed the Griffin.

The sudden appearance of a giant Nen Beast startled the surrounding Nen user, causing them all to take a step back and assume a fighting stance.

However, the Griffin made no further moves, which silenced them, and Kevin ignored their continued focus on the Volcano.

The shaking stopped.

Kevin mounted the Griffin without hesitation.

"The That Bird is coming out."

A scorching heat rushed in from above.

Suddenly, a large ball of flame burst forth from a crevice in the distant mountains, shooting out in a columnar shape like a flamethrower.

The flames that shot out condensed out of thin air and formed the shape of a bird.

It was that Phoenix.

"Chase after them."

Men Qi quickly jumped onto the Griffin, controlled Griffin, and flew directly towards the Phoenix.

Hearing the cry coming from behind, the newly formed Phoenix turned around, startled, and quickly flapped its wings to soar into the sky.

The flames on his body suddenly became extremely intense, increasing his firepower.

"No, we can't keep up with this speed at all."

"Men Qi said loudly."

This is not even in the same league of speeds.

I'm sorry.

Ignoring Men Qi's wide eyes, Kevin stomped on the Griffin and shot towards the Phoenix in the distance like an arrow.

The heavy stomp caused the Griffin to completely lose its balance, its entire body tilting to one side and even flipping twice in mid-air due to the force, leaving a dent in its back.

Fortunately, it was entirely constructed from Nen Aura. Startled, Men Qi quickly unleashed even more Nen Aura to reinforce it. "That's enough! Is the power that great?"

Kevin almost stomped her to death; this was the first time her Griffin had suffered such a serious injury.

At that moment, Kevin had already rushed to the Phoenix's side and swung his arms forward violently.

The Nen Aura shot forward, transforming into a flexible whip that tightly bound the Phoenix's claws.

The claws, which looked entirely made of flames, were actually bound.

"Gotcha, Little Bird."
