Greenhouse.

This new building is built Tree Top.

The large trees in the Snake Nest had straight trunks, without bending at all, standing there like pillars, with only a few branches sprouting from the sides.

Because it is so tall, every branch and bud looks exaggerated.

After some simple processing at its top, a basic platform can be obtained.

In areas with many large trees, after the tops are leveled and a platform is built using branches, a very good Zenith Zone is created.

Moreover, the best part is that this place is still within the Snake Nest, so in this almost unobstructed air, there will be no disturbance from any creatures.

The only trouble is the daily climbing up and down.

However, this is nothing to Nen user.

At this moment, Koto was squatting in the greenhouse, where the planting area was divided into squares of varying sizes.

The soil in the planting area is grayish-white, not brown or black in a broad sense.

This is because the nutrient solution plays a significant role, making the soil highly nutritious, but it also alters the color.

In one corner, there is a small planting area.

The first plant above has fully adapted to the environment and is growing very well.

Koto checked the time.

"That's amazing! With ample nutrition, it only took less than three days to reach maturity?"

She was somewhat surprised.

When I tried planting it in the soil below, the plant in front of me didn't grow well after a month, and it even withered and died due to the transplanting.

Dig it out of the soil.

The tree roots became extremely powerful, wrapping around Koto's hands and pulling her in, as if trying to drag her into the soil.

Koto simply pinched the other's stem with her fingernail.

The entangled vines immediately retracted.

"That's the most troublesome part."

A closer look at the greenhouse reveals that each planting area is surrounded by a tight protective net.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Many plants in the Dark Continent possess certain aggressive or strange properties to protect themselves.

For Koto, who studies plants, the most important aspect is the plants' competition for nutrients in the soil, which is even more extreme.

Almost all plant roots have the ability to move, entwine, and pull.

The stronger the plant, the stronger this ability.

These plants use this ability to compete for nutrients in the soil and attack the roots of any other plants that try to invade from the soil.

Take it out and put it in the flowerpot.

Koto stepped out of the greenhouse and picked up Four-Leaf Clover from a nearby branch.

This Four-Leaf Clover was extremely large, like a giant umbrella.

You can see that its roots have no cut ends, but rather a rounded growth plane.

He scratched at the top.

The four blades began to rotate.

Koto jumped down holding the Four-Leaf Clover, floated lightly in the air, and quickly landed on the ground.

Simply tie it to the rope next to it, and the Four-Leaf Clover floats in the air.

Koto carried the flowerpot back to the camp.

Pairo had been waiting there for a long time, and when he saw Koto return, he hurriedly went to greet her.

Shalnark and Kurapika, who were standing nearby, also came forward out of curiosity.

Looking at the flowerpot in Koto's hand.

"Are there really plants that grow like this? It looks kind of creepy."

Kurapika looked at the plant in the flowerpot and couldn't help but say something.

The plant in the flowerpot is a flower that looks quite ordinary, especially if you look at it from the back.

From the back, it even looks like a sunflower.

But if you look at it from the front, you'll find that it's not a sunflower at all; it's a flower, but in the center of the flower is an eye.

However, this eye resembles a beast's pupil, with a vertical slit in the center.

"The Cyclops Flower, if you insist on calling it a plant, isn't entirely accurate; you could also consider it Beasts."

This flower can perform photosynthesis, but if you dissect the flower, you will find that it actually contains some flesh and nerve structures inside.

"So your Nen ability is able to imprint a mark on these eyes?"

Kurapika looked at Pairo beside him and asked.

Pairo nodded.

"I tried that flower before, and it worked."

Koto, holding the flowerpot, said, "The eye in this Cyclops Flower is something I specially asked Men Qi to bring over. It's the eye of a kind of falcon that has excellent vision even at night."

"Thank you, I'll give it a try." Pairo said, his eyes meeting the one-eyed man's, before he imprinted the mark.

Then he closed his eyes.

It took over the vision of the one-eyed creature and was able to see what the one-eyed creature saw.

Then he saw himself.

Koto moved the flowerpot slightly, and sure enough, her vision became like that of an eagle's eye, able to zoom in and out, accurately seeing details at extremely far distances.

"It's feasible, this flower is suitable."

"It can be used as a surveillance camera! I never knew it could be used like that," Kurapika said with some surprise.

This is why this Cyclops Flower is specially cultivated.

When Pairo first discovered this flower, he considered using his Nen ability to imprint it. After succeeding, he brought the flower to Koto so that she could cultivate it.

Persistence pays off; after the nutrient solution was prepared, the flower was successfully cultivated.

"The only problem is that these flowers have no defensive or offensive capabilities; they are quite fragile and may be attacked in the wild."

"I can't help it, "Pairo said with a hint of helplessness.

Koto shook her head. "Every plant has its own ecological niche in the wild. For a flower like this, which isn't very aggressive and is quite fragile, the single eye is its way of warning predators."

These small flowers are only likely to be eaten by small animals, and their "eyes" effectively deter them.

Large animals naturally have no interest in these small flowers.

It has little nutritional value.

The only difficulty for this flower lies in obtaining an eye.

Koto simulated it; if this flower were to grow in the wild, either its seeds would take root on a decaying corpse, rapidly absorbing nutrients from the body, and then come into contact with the eyes to harvest them.

Or perhaps after it grows into a flower, a corpse of a creature lies nearby, and it takes its eyeballs.

"Later, I can also train them to see if we can combine them with other plants, so that we can make a mobile camera with a certain degree of self-defense capability."

Koto said this, and she was also researching in this direction.

Now that we've succeeded, we need to start nurturing it.

If this flower is cultivated in various important locations, and some nutrient-rich soil is reserved in the flowerpots, it should be able to survive in a certain place for a long time.

In the Giant Beast Kingdom.

The Hunting team led by Kevin is on a hunt.

"That's the one."

Biscuit squatted on a boulder, looking at a huge creature in the distance, and said.

It was a creature that resembled Gorilla, but instead of hair, it was covered in a shell that looked like Gorilla.

What's even more eye-catching is that this Gorilla has four arms and can use weapons.

Because what one of the arms held was a drumstick carved from a huge leg bone.

As if he had ADHD, he swung the drumstick, occasionally slamming it against the ground, producing a loud bang.

"The Four-Armed Beast, that giant monster with a screw loose, always likes to chase after us and often makes fun of us."

Biscuit said somewhat angrily.

It makes me a little angry just thinking about it.

The creatures in the Giant Beast Kingdom vary in size, but generally speaking, the larger the creature, the stronger it is.

The Four-Armed Beast in front of us, when squatting on the ground, already reached a height of nearly twenty meters.

Its massive, thick arms and the enormous drumstick it wielded were incredibly powerful.

Some of these giant beasts also possess considerable intelligence, as can be seen from their ape-like appearance.

Not to mention that the other side would also use weapons.

However much is said, the Giant Beast Kingdom is essentially nothing more than a hunting ground for the Resentful Eater Snake.

Those who emerged from the Snake Nest naturally carried the scent of snakes.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, there wouldn't be many creatures deliberately targeting them.

However, some of these creatures are powerful and highly intelligent. After discovering their weakness and the serpentine aura emanating from them, they toy with and manipulate them.

This Four-Armed Beast is one of the best among them.

Because of its intelligence, it sometimes observes Biscuit and his Hunting team.

Once they figured out the pattern, they would harass us from time to time.

The most disgusting thing is that they deliberately pick and destroy the Four-Armed Beast Bohong Flower planted on some hillsides, because the succulents don't eat them at all.

They were helpless against this behemoth.

Even Kevin from before couldn't do it.

A colossal creature, over twenty meters tall, wielding drumsticks and possessing four arms, is chasing after you. Even Kevin would have to give it a wide berth.

Moreover, this is the Dark Continent, and these behemoths are not pushovers or mere creatures with empty shells.

Their Life Force was so strong that using Qi had almost become an instinct.

Since he doesn't have any special abilities, he can even be considered the most ordinary Enhancement-type Nen user.

Now they've come for revenge.

"Will it work?" Melusina asked with some concern.

Kevin nodded and gave a thumbs up.

Trust me, even if we can't kill it, we'll beat it to a pulp.

Kevin's current Nen level has reached Ninety-Nine, almost reaching one million.

In other words, he had already reached his limit before finding a way to train his body.

However, this excessive power boost requires an opponent to help Kevin understand and control his current strength.

This is the perfect time to take revenge.

"He needs to be taught a lesson!"

Qi cheered from the side.

Every Hunting team on the front lines was hunted and toyed with by this Four-Armed Beast.

"No problem, watch me."

Kevin blinked, smiled, and jumped out.

His Nen Aura erupted outwards without any concealment.

This is a blatant provocation.

The Four-Armed Beast in the distance turned its head the instant it erupted.

Its facial features are somewhat similar to those of Gorilla, the only difference being that its nose is very flat and its mouth is full of sharp teeth, with two huge teeth protruding from its lips.

What's even more interesting is that this Four-Armed Beast has a small tuft of pointed hair on its head. Unlike its grayish-white muddy shell, the tuft of hair on its head is light golden, giving it a very distinctive look.

He spotted Kevin, who was walking over and spewing gas, at a glance.

It snorted in dissatisfaction, sending out two streams of hot air that blew up mud and stones from the ground.

These little bugs actually dared to come and provoke us.

"Roar!"

A furious roar.

The sound waves surged outwards like heat waves, blowing up the surrounding mud, rocks, and dust.

Kevin reached out and blocked it.

"So all you can do is yell, huh?"

I took a deep breath.

"Roar!!"

The roar was like a sonic boom erupting forth.

The sound waves combined with the Aura Bullet, and the roar directly transformed into an attack, blasting towards the Four-Armed Beast in the distance.

Faced with this transparent attack, the Four-Armed Beast could clearly feel the punch land, directly shattering the sonic Nen Bullet.

The sound waves from the hammer explosion spread outwards, creating a piercing shriek as they rubbed against the air.

This is undoubtedly a provocation.

These little Chimera Ant, who used to only be chased and run away from him, now actually dare to face him.

With a powerful leap, it launched itself forward.

The Four-Armed Beast arced through the air, one of its arms gripping a drumstick as it descended and slammed down on Kevin.

Kevin tilted his head slightly.

It remained completely still.

Snake Scale covered his body, and a large amount of energy coiled around his right arm.

The onlookers in the distance had already fallen silent in tension, their breaths seemingly held back.

Kevin actually decided to tough it out.

"Bang!"

Its immense power is beyond doubt.

The immense pressure from above sent the surrounding sand and gravel flying into the air with the impact.

The drooping drumsticks slammed heavily onto the ground.

A massive amount of sand and gravel crashed into the ground with a deafening roar, sending mud and rocks soaring into the sky and instantly obscuring the surrounding environment.

However, this impact resulted in a collision.

The shockwaves from the collision instantly blew away the sand and gravel that had just been lifted up and obscured the view.

The scene at the heart of the battle was immediately revealed.

"Monster!"

Morel exclaimed in surprise.

Because what they saw was Kevin raising his right arm and forcefully blocking the drumstick that was about to fall.

Kevin's body only sank slightly downwards.

The Four-Armed Beast's eyes widened in surprise. He truly hadn't expected that these tiny Chimera Ant would block his attack without being affected in any way.

"Surprised? Close your mouth, and take this punch!"

The words "Take this punch!" seemed to be roared out.

Kevin leaped lightly, rising ten meters off the ground, his right fist pulling back like a drawn bow.

Then it was like a bowstring being released.

A powerful punch was delivered.

The Four-Armed Beast reacted quickly, crossing its two arms in front of it to block.

In contrast, a tiny fist slammed into the arm.

"Boom!"

Another deafening roar of a violent collision.

The heavy punch actually caused the Four-Armed Beast's massive body to stagger back two steps.

That's an exaggeration!

Men Qi couldn't help but complain.

Is this even human?

It seems like this isn't the first time she's said something like this.
