Hunter x Hunter: My Nen Beast is Strong

Chapter 124 Chimera Ants

Chapter 124 Chimera Ants

Ino only saw one chimera ant, so he wasn't nervous. After all, there were eight people in the team, two of whom were professional hunters and the other three were amateur hunters.

Having spent time with Eliji over the past few days, Ino knew the strength of Eliji and his group, so she didn't appear too nervous.

But Eligi was different; he had a very strong sense of perception and immediately noticed twenty or thirty chimeric ants around him.

The chimera ants that were wandering around seemed to sense the presence of Eligi and his group, and soon surrounded them from the front.

Originally, Ino wanted to use his camera to photograph these rare magical creatures, but as he saw more than a dozen, or even more than twenty, chimera ants emerge, he realized that things were getting serious.

Seeing this, Ino and his two companions hid behind Aji, then peeked out to watch the situation unfold nervously.

"Hey! Can we communicate? Did you guys take the people away?" Eligi tried to communicate with the Chimera Ants on the other side, but it didn't seem to work.

Eliji received no response. Instead, a chimera ant with a shrimp head and crab claws took two steps forward and swung its crab claws at Eliji.

"Watch out, Eligi!" Ino's heart was in her throat. She shouted at the top of her lungs, her panic barely concealed.

Alighie was prepared. The moment he heard the shout, he ducked down, just dodging the crab claw. At the same time, he clenched his right fist and slammed it hard into the soft spot on the shrimp-headed chimera ant's abdomen.

A muffled thud.

The chimeric ant screamed in pain, its massive body retreating backward, crushing the fallen leaves beneath its feet.

"It's really sturdy. I'm afraid only bullets from submachine guns could penetrate the outer layer of armor or something like that."

"Ailiji quickly made a judgment in his mind."

The shrimp-headed chimeric ant, which had been knocked back by a punch, seemed a little angry and charged forward again.

This time, Eligi unleashed his "training" power directly, then used "condensation" to deliver a punch.

"Bang—"

The shrimp-headed chimeric ant's thorax exploded and it collapsed to the ground, its body convulsing, but it did not die immediately; it still retained consciousness.

"Not only is its outer skin thick, but its vitality is also very strong. I just don't know if it's a chimeric ant," Eliji muttered to himself.

Regardless of the consequences, he decided to deal with one first and then study it later. With a single stride, he smashed the chimera ant's head, ending its life instantly.

Just as he was about to end the life of a Chimera Ant, Eligi sensed something and immediately summoned the [Beast Collection]. He then stained a trace of the Chimera Ant's blood onto the gem, which emitted a white light that enveloped the Chimera Ant.

Then, with a "bang," the dead Chimera Ant turned into a card marked D.

"It's been turned into a card? What's this?" With a thought, Eligi summoned the Chimera Ant again. The operation was very simple; he only needed to place a card in the card slot of the summoning panel on the last page of the [Beast Collection] to summon it directly.

Then a white light flashed, and the shrimp soldiers that had been eliminated regrouped.

"So what's the principle behind this?" Eligi didn't quite understand either, but these cards could increase the level cap of summoned character cards.

Previously, cards of the same type could increase the card's power ceiling, but after summoning Konoha Village, the ability to summon cards seems to have been optimized away.

This kept Kiba at the level of an average Jonin.

Genin are E-rank cards. Chunin are D-rank cards.

Special Jonin, Class C cards. Jonin cards are Class B and Class A cards.

Elite Jonin are ranked from S to SSS cards.

Eligi has a D-rank Chimera Ant card, which means it can raise a Chunin's strength to Special Jonin.

With this card, Eligi knew for certain that these were Chimera Ants.

"Ordinary chimera ants are D-rank, but I wonder what level the other squad leaders and division commanders are at," Eligi muttered to himself.

It seems that coming here in advance to hunt down the Chimera Ants was the right decision. I just wonder if the squad leader and division commander have come out yet.

Soon, Eligi and Minato Namikaze surrounded and wiped out the twenty or thirty Chimera Ants, and in just a few moments, they had dealt with all of them.

Upon seeing this, Ino couldn't help but exclaim, "Elij, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. Please allow me to take some photos of these creatures."

"Ino, this might be a bit dangerous. We don't even know if all these creatures are dead. Let me handle this quickly," Eligi said.

Eligi then took some blood from the Chimera Ants and dripped it onto the gem in the [Beast Collection], and one by one the Chimera Ants were turned into cards.

These cards were then summoned again, just like the living Chimera Ants they had just encountered.

"It's like magic! Did Eligi create all of this with his Nen ability?" Ino felt that everything Eligi did was incredibly magical and couldn't be explained by normal common sense.

Therefore, it can only be explained by the unknown Nen ability.

Even using Nen abilities, it would be difficult to explain what was going on, so Eriji could only laugh and say, "Hehe, that's true."

"Then I'm even more curious about this power," Ino said with a delighted expression.

After taking photos of a group of strange chimeric ants, Ino and his group searched the village for any surviving inhabitants.

Unfortunately, after searching for a while, they didn't see a single living person.

At this point, Ino realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately said, "I think we need to report this to the higher-ups at NGL."

"Ino, are you kidding me? They'll deal with us first. We brought in electronic products illegally."

"Yes, if such violations are discovered, we could face very troublesome executions."

Both of Ino's companions voiced their objections.

Ino felt somewhat helpless about this, so he could only look to Eligi, the strongest person there.

Eligi also offered his advice: "This unknown creature is extremely aggressive. I suggest the three of you leave for now. We will continue exploring the island, and once we have gathered enough information, we will report this matter to the Hunter Association. I believe they will send someone to handle it."

Ino's two companions agreed after hearing this, but Ino stepped forward and said, "Let me go with you. I can use the camera to help you gather information."

After hearing this, Eligi glanced at Ino and said in a somewhat serious tone, "Are you really going to follow me here and risk your life in NGL like this?"

"Yes, I've made up my mind, Ellige. If you're in any danger, please take my camera with you. You don't need to worry about me."

Ino said firmly.
