As thick streams of green fluid gushed from their severed heads, the two giant insects finally collapsed.
Cordis jumped straight down from the tree and landed in front of Ponzu. Seeing that she was still terrified, he crouched slightly and held out a hand to reassure her.
"Are you all right? Come on, get up."
Only then did Bokukuka arrive. The moment he saw Cordis, he froze in place. After turning it over in his mind for a long while, he asked uncertainly.
"Are you... Cordis?"
Cordis nodded, and by then, Ponzu had already stood up and brushed the dirt off herself.
But before Ponzu could thank him, Cordis walked over to the two giant insect corpses, crouched down, and examined them closely as he asked casually.
"What are these monsters?"
Bokukuka and the others had no answer to Cordis's question. They were just as curious about what these things were.
"We don't know. That's why we came here," Bokukuka answered, shaking his head.

"And how did you get in here?"
Bokukuka scratched his head sheepishly. "That's all thanks to my amazing teacher."
Cordis planted his hands on his hips, looking utterly speechless. Of the four people before him, only Bokukuka had a Nen Ability, and he had yet to master it.
The other three were ordinary people. He had no idea what had given them the courage to come to a place like this.
The more Cordis thought about it, the more his head hurt. He pressed a hand to his forehead and sighed helplessly. "Bokukuka, as the only Nen user here, you really didn't think this through.
