A Way to Recover and the Following Human-Rearing Beast

Kevin originally intended to explore beyond the Gale Grassland.

But because of the return of gold.

Currently, almost no one ventures out of the camp; only the most basic external patrols are conducted.

At this moment, Jin was surrounded by several people, discussing his recent external explorations with Ce.

The plan was to compile these into an archive and draw a simplified map.

Based on simple calculations.

The distance Jin and his team explored over the past few months, if measured in a straight line from the farthest point, has actually reached nearly a thousand kilometers.

Although they were in the wild, this speed was actually quite slow for Jin and the others.

But this is only the straight-line distance; along the way, they need to avoid various dangers and make detours and explorations.

In essence, the distance traveled is far more than a thousand kilometers.

However, this was already the furthest exploration distance the team had ever covered.

Even now, it's only a few hundred kilometers from here to the Gale Grassland.

This is mainly because the Giant Beast Kingdom is actually a long, narrow region.

If you cross the middle, it won't take long to reach the Gale Grassland, so the distance isn't actually that far.

"You mean there's a dark Gravity Zone near the western side of the Unmanned Stone Range?"

As Ce Zheng was taking notes, upon hearing this, his voice suddenly rose a notch, and he asked.

Jin nodded.

"We've been there, we've even explored it. It's definitely a Gravity Zone, and we almost lost members of our crew there."

"There really is such an area? We're so lucky!" Bianluoke, who was standing nearby, remarked.

Although only Kevin needs this training area right now, they will definitely train in the Gravity Zone later.

"It seems that what I said about Gravity Zone has been very helpful to you."

Jin raised an eyebrow.

Morel explained it to Jin, who nodded in understanding.

That's really good.

So this trip can be considered fruitful.

Then there's the area that Jin and his group bypassed along the way.

These areas are distinctly different from their surroundings, as can be seen from their environment.

A little exploration of the edges will reveal the dangers of these areas.

So they almost always took a detour, explored the area briefly, and then left.

There are still too many dangerous areas like the Dark Continent.

The straight-line distance from the Unmanned Stone Range to the Snake Nest is only one thousand kilometers.

However, this straight-line distance passes directly through two clearly dangerous environmental areas.

After Jin finished speaking and told Ce about her experience, she ran to the Infirmary.

His teammates are all here.

Kevin and Qiduo are studying Moxi and Tesiwa, among others.

Qiduo looked at Jin as he entered.

"You've come at the right time. What's with your Nen ability that can freeze life?"

The condition of this thing has become somewhat of an obstacle to research.

It's not just about stagnating the body's condition; the golden hue on the skin also carries certain obstructive and defensive properties.

There's no way to check it, and because it's a certain Nen ability, it can't be checked even with Nen ability.

"It's something you get by making a wish."

"Idiot, I asked how you got it through a wish. If you could just wish for anything, why don't you just wish for them to be healed?"

Qiduo cursed helplessly.

It felt like we were back at the time when the Twelve Zodiacs held a meeting.

"Because it's impossible." Jin shrugged.

"The ability to make wishes is, of course, limited; it is essentially designed through the Greed Island game."

"If the ability to make wishes corresponds more to the functions of certain cards on Greed Island, or if the functions are combined, it will be easier."

"The Breath of the Archangel can only heal normal injuries; it can't help with situations like this that involve Nen."

Although Qiduo and the others didn't know much about Greed Island, Kevin, who was standing next to them, understood it very well and nodded easily.

"That's a very impressive technique," Kevin remarked.

He simply can't do it.

This requires an extremely deep understanding of Nen ability and the coordination of multiple Nen ability.

In his view, Greed Island was already a myth.

However, this was just something designed by a group of elite Nen user.

"Right, haha." Kim was clearly a little smug.

He was always very proud of his masterpiece Greed Island.

In other words, as long as you prepare enough cards, you can handle most situations in the Dark Continent using just these cards.

After a few casual words, Jin's expression turned serious.

His gaze was mainly fixed on Moxi.

"Does he have a way to get back to the way things were?"

Kevin nodded without hesitation at this point.

"To be honest, if it were just about turning him back into a human, that would be simple. The real question is what his condition would be like after he turns back into a human."

Kevin said directly.

For Kevin, treating these kinds of external morphological changes is extremely simple.

"The Cocoon of Rebirth"

The ability was obtained from the Ant Queen, and then slightly enhanced by the Ant King's potion.

If things go as expected, if we find suitable materials that can be paired with the Youpi heart, the resulting potion might be able to be further enhanced.

However, the Cocoon of Rebirth is now enough to change Moxi's current state, turning him back into a human.

This is possible.

Jin let out a breath, clearly relieved.

"If he were to become human again, would his intelligence return to normal?"

Melusina, who was taking notes nearby, turned around and asked.

"That depends on the attack he suffered and what kind of impact it had on him. Was it simply a matter of physical deformity due to the loss of life and spirit, or was his soul directly torn apart and attacked?"

Since we don't know exactly what Papu the Nurturing Beast's attacks are like, we can't verify this aspect at the moment.

We can only get an answer from Tesiwa and the others after they recover.

Humans are vulnerable, especially their brains.

In a situation where the body has melted into a lump, the brain's nervous system would have long since become a mess.

The human soul and body are strongly related.

If the brain is severely damaged, a person will become demented, or even lose consciousness and become a living corpse.

Physical problems can reflect on the mental state, and similarly, mental problems can reflect on the physical state.

This is the case of Lorraine, whose soul is damaged, causing her body's Life Energy to surge outward uncontrollably.

Jin then said directly, "If the fruit were picked, it would be a double attack on life and soul, because it wasn't picked, but it was broken during the picking process."

"Therefore, it only caused a change in the form of life. The missing Life Force and soul turned into fruit and returned to his body; otherwise, his body would not have stabilized."

Having conducted in-depth research on Nen ability, Kim can naturally distinguish the various differences between Life Energy, willpower, and Nen very clearly.

After being attacked, Kim had already assessed the situation and then stuffed the fruit into the attacker's arms.

"If that's the case, then it's very simple. We just need to wrap him in the Cocoon of Rebirth and reshape him externally, and he will be able to recover."

"The fruit is inside his body. If that is the missing part, the Cocoon of Rebirth can help to reintegrate that part into his body."

Kevin was very confident about this, and said it directly.

"The most important issue now is determining what kind of problems Papu the Nurturing Beast, will cause."

Qiduo, who was studying the group of people who had turned into Little Golden Man, listened to their conversation and suddenly spoke.

"Based on a series of information and Moxi's current condition, we can determine that this attack is not immediate."

"The delay is very high; the moment of death is only the moment the fruit is picked, and even if the picked fruit is put back into the body, it can continue to be delayed."

Qiduo's writings record this.

"A person with Flesh Bud growing on their head should be powerless against the Papu the Nurturing Beast."

"On the other hand, people like Jin who are unaffected leave the Papu the Nurturing Beast with no way to deal with them; these are two extremes."

The information is as follows.

Jin nodded and said, "If we can cure the Flesh Bud on the top of someone's head that has been selected as a target, then we can conduct a safe screening."

"Select the unaffected group to explore the uninhabited mountain range."

For Jin, exploring the Dark Continent is fine no matter where he goes.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to go with Kevin, since Kevin has a fixed camp there, which would greatly improve his safety.

Regardless of the type of exploration, there must be a simple goal; otherwise, disordered exploration is unlikely to yield any results.

Given a lack of knowledge about the Dark Continent, having an Unmanned Stone Range with detailed information and extensive exploration by a large number of people as a first target would be ideal.

Because there is already a large amount of supporting information.

If even an area with such abundant supporting information cannot be fully explored...

To rashly explore those unknown areas is tantamount to death.

The most important question, after all.

We still need to cure them first.

The next day.

Kevin and the others stayed in the medical room.

They waited.

Today is the day when Tesiwa and others can return to normal.

Suddenly.

The golden hue on the first person who was frozen began to fade, and then one after another followed suit.

The four of them thus lost the golden color on their skin and returned to normal.

He sat up abruptly.

"We're back?"

As she spoke, Aimeimei reached up and scratched at the top of her head.

Then they realized that they were being protected by bubbles.

However, they did not attack or become wary, because Jin and the others were surrounding them, which made them feel much more at ease.

This is also the camp's Infirmary; they know each other.

The newcomers looked around and then realized one person was missing.

"Where's Moxi?" Tesiwa asked.

Jin stared at them, then shook his head, gesturing for them to look in a certain direction.

Several people looked over.

Then I saw Moxi as he is now.

His expression immediately turned gloomy and uncomfortable.

They weren't stupid; they immediately understood why this had happened.

"What an idiot," Tesiwa cursed.

It must be because Moxi deliberately refused to be in a stagnant state and intentionally lured the Human-Rearing Beast to attack.

"Don't look so worried, everyone. There's a possibility of a cure, but we need to figure out your specific condition first."

Kevin's words broke the somber atmosphere.

Several people were looking at him.

"The primary issue now is the Flesh Bud on your heads; they've already blossomed, and if things proceed normally tonight, they should bear fruit."

Qiduo took notes from the side.

Jin, however, frowned.

"The Flesh Bud haven't subsided. This is the lair of the Resentful Eater Snake, the territory of these terrifying creatures. I don't believe the Papu the Nurturing Beast is a match for them."

No joke, the Nen Aura creatures that make up the Resentful Eater Snake are at the very top of the food chain.

In addition, there's the manipulation of Resentment, various Snake Venom, and the stages of growth.

The abilities displayed by the Human-Rearing Beast were no match for its opponent.

But the Flesh Bud are still there, floating above their heads.

"In other words, this is Curse -like ability; the state was determined the moment the Flesh Bud started to grow."

Simply put, this situation may not require the Papu the Nurturing Beast to continuously supply energy.

Like a seed, once it's planted, it's planted. After that, its existence is no longer that important.

"In that case, would the Papu the Nurturing Beast launch an attack at night? It's a bit hard to imagine."

"Melusina said."

After all, this is Snake Nest.

"If it weren't for the attacks of the Papu the Nurturing Beast, would we have to keep having this Flesh Bud stuck on our heads forever?"

"That's really troublesome," Aimeimei asked.

"It's not just about Flesh Bud; if it bears fruit, it's like you have an exposed, fatal weakness."

Kevin said seriously.

It's like combining the soul and Life Force into a ball and then placing it outside the body.

That's outrageous.

The danger level increased by several dozen times.

It suddenly gained a fatal weakness, and it was completely unprotected on the outside.

"But don't worry, let's see after the fruit ripens tonight. If things go well, you should be able to return to normal."

Kevin reassured the group.

Because of the Cocoon of Rebirth.

Simply place it inside the cocoon to be reborn, and all problems will be solved.

Night.

In the central plaza of the camp.

The crowd gathered in a circle.

Aimeimei and the other three sat in the middle.

Everyone held their breath and stared intently at the flowers above them, which had bloomed to their fullest.

In other words, the situation is still ongoing.

Even in Snake Nest.

In this situation, even with their strong hearts, Aimeimei and the other three couldn't help but feel nervous and their hearts pounded.

Everyone stared intently.

They were determined to witness this scene with their own eyes.

The flowers bloom, then begin to wither, and the fruit in the center begins to swell and take the place of the flowers.

Everyone held their breath, staring intently.

Until the very last petal disappeared.

A huge fruit appeared above their heads, swaying back and forth on a Flesh Bud.

Shadow Creature descended.

A pitch-black creature with a pair of blood-red eyes appeared above the four of them.

One of them was perched on a person's head.

The moment they appeared, they pounced on the fruit, attempting to bite it.

"How dare you!"

Kevin roared and launched an attack.

They actually dared to rush into the Snake Nest.

And will it keep following us?
