Pokkle looked at the White Divine Dogs, feeling rather helpless.
During the chase earlier, he had already learned how powerful the Divine Dogs were, but watching the White Divine Dogs casually smash the Human-Faced Spider's head still shocked him all over again.
Sitting on the White Divine Dogs' back, Ponzu felt her heart beating a little faster.
Although the Human-Faced Spider had yet to master Nen, it had felt more dangerous to her than an ordinary Nen user.
The large gun in Kite's hand vanished, and the nagging clown disappeared along with it.
Clearly, Kite could no longer sense any trace of the Chimera Ants. Qiao Lun stepped forward to stand before the Human-Faced Spider's corpse.
He recognized this fellow.
In the manga, this was the one who had captured Pokkle. However, among the Chimera Ants, this fellow was only a Platoon Leader, a far cry from a Squadron Leader.
Moreover, this fellow's presence here also meant that its immediate superior, Shacan-the Chimera Ant Squadron Leader who had wanted to become the new queen after the Chimera Ant Queen's death-should be nearby as well.
But Kite's actions indicated that Shacan was not nearby. Had Shacan sensed danger and chosen to leave ahead of time?
"It really is huge." Killua came closer as well.
The Human-Faced Spider that had leaped down from above had somewhat exceeded his expectations too. In particular, its almost instinctive ability to dodge Pokkle's attack proved that this spider Chimera Ant had enormous potential.
"It looks like things are heading in the worst possible direction." This concerned Kite more. "But I sensed more Chimera Ants nearby earlier. After it died, though, those Chimera Ants that had entered my sensory range chose to retreat."
"They're fairly intelligent," Qiao Lun agreed. "But now isn't the time to discuss that."
