Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

A long red whip lashed out, hissing as it cut through the air, and struck the two worms mercilessly!

"Hurry up! You two good-for-nothings! Aren't you full? If you delay the master's journey to Luoyang, even a hundred of your lives wouldn't be enough to pay for it!"

A sharp sound rang out, as unsettling as an iron knife scraping against a ceramic plate. The sounds overlapped and mixed together, and it was barely possible to discern that they were a language.

The one who was speaking and the one who was wielding the whip were both a pink, round freak.

The freak has eight eyes and one mouth.

It still has an arm and a leg.

If I had to describe it, it would be like a clump of chewing gum that's been stepped on and made a sound.

It doesn't look human at all.

The worm let out a shrill scream, and its weary movements quickened involuntarily.

"What a bunch of lazy good-for-nothings! The master went to great lengths to get you out of the Twelve Intestines Kingdom, not so you could eat and drink for free..."

Suddenly, a bright light flashed on the horizon!

Swish!Swish!

Two meteors, bursting with surging energy, streaked across the red sky in an instant, crashing down on the wheelchair with unstoppable force!

boom--!!!

A dull, thunderous roar echoed across the wilderness, and the vehicle exploded!

In an instant, a huge crater was blown open on the flat ground, and visible white shockwaves surged violently in all directions!

"Gu..."

The two white worms stood frozen, staring at the wrecked vehicle and the deep pit, momentarily lost in a daze.

"Ah~"

A weak, feeble scream suddenly echoed from within the deep pit, followed by a clear, feminine voice:

"Stop yelling, Poker, wake up!"

In the pit, Qiduo guiltily let go of Poxon's face and slapped his fair face a few times, trying to wake him up.

It feels pretty good.

"Forehead!"

Poxon suddenly opened his eyes, covered his face in horror, and the first thing he saw was the nonchalant Qiduo. He instinctively screamed:

"Miss Qiduo, it's you! I just dreamt that I was bitten by a dog, and it was on my face! It hurt so much..."

She poked her face and was shocked to find that it actually hurt!

How is this going?

"Alright, stop fooling around and get up to observe your surroundings."

Qiduo coughed, stood up and said:

"It seems we've gotten separated from the others."

Pokson carefully covered his face, stood up, and said in a muffled voice:

"I remember that too. When I came in, everything was pitch black, then everyone else suddenly disappeared, and then I saw something that looked like a starry sky..."

"Eh, then why are you with me, Miss Kita?"

Pokson looked at Qiduo curiously, then heard her begin to explain in a serious tone:

“I had a similar experience to yours, but when I saw that starry sky, I heard a very familiar scream, so I instinctively grabbed it and ended up falling from the sky with your arm.”

"Oh, I see..."

Pokson seemed to understand, but his mind was still a little confused.

Just then, two white worm-like heads cautiously emerged from the edge of the deep crater they had created:

"Gu..."

Swish!

The two professional hunters immediately looked in that direction with vigilance, their gazes fixed on the two heads with different expressions, both exuding a terrifying aura.

"Cuckoo!!"

The two worms were so frightened that they instantly retracted their heads and desperately stretched their bodies to the other side, their speed even faster than that of an ordinary galloping horse!

Qiduo and Pokson looked at each other, and simultaneously blurted out:

"Chase!"

The two figures shot out like arrows released from a bow!

Several tens of seconds later.

The two worms, covered in wounds and looking haggard, struggled forward, silently shedding tears.

On their backs sat two human bullies, Qiduo and Poxen, leisurely observing their surroundings.

The environment here is vastly different from that of the Dark Continent.

First, the sky was a dark red, with red clouds drifting by. Although the sun was not visible, light sources were falling, somewhat like the shadowless lamps of Qiduo.

Next was the ground, which was also pink.

Stepping on it didn't feel like walking on soil. When you dug it up, you found that there was no soil at all in this area. Instead, a pinkish, gelatinous substance covered everything.

No weeds grow on it, but thick, yellow sap keeps splattering out, which solidifies into a rock-like substance when it gets windy.

"Qiduo... what are these two things, and where are they taking us?"

After a period of clarity, Poxon gradually came to his senses, staring at Qiduo's face with a brooding look, but he had no reason to retaliate.

She could only swallow her anger and try to distract herself by talking about other things.

Qiduo's eyes flickered, she turned to look into the distance, and said:

“Structurally, they resemble the most primitive roundworms. They may be a special species from the Dark Continent, or they may be… the species that was inside that giant bird’s belly.”

Qi Duo's seemingly casual words concealed a terrifying suspicion—

They were probably inside the giant bird's belly, rather than being teleported somewhere else!

Although the probability is extremely small, they did see the clouds.

That bird was indeed enormous, but not so large that it had a whole new world inside its belly; that would be something out of a myth.

"As for where they will take us, that remains to be seen..."

Qiduo's voice suddenly stopped.

Her gaze sharpened, suddenly fixed on three faint figures on the distant horizon.

Yes, that's a human figure.

Who is that?

Pokson also noticed that area.

Qiduo shook her head:

"Go and see for yourself. Be prepared to run away if anything goes wrong. Giddy up!"

With that, Qiduo flicked his long whip, making sounds that the two worms couldn't understand, and spurred them to rush toward the horizon!

As they got closer, they were able to see who those people were—

"Oh, what a coincidence, to run into you here."

Jin raised his hand in greeting.

"Daughter! You're still alive! How come you're sitting on two such ugly bugs? Get down, get down!"

Sherlock removed Qido from the worms, then looked away from the two worms with disgust.

In contrast to him, the two worms glanced at Sherlock gratefully, bowed to him three times, and made unintelligible sounds from their spiraling mouthparts.

"Qiduo, it's good news to see that you're still alive."

Snake Sister Gailu said with a sigh of relief:

"I got separated from the others and ran a long way before I found King and Sherlock. What about you?"

Qiduo recounted her experiences along the way, and then Jin seemed to be deep in thought as she said:

"I don't know whether your luck is good or bad. There should have been intelligent beings similar to humans on the car you smashed, but you killed them."

"Fortunately, Sherlock and I managed to capture one."

As he spoke, Jin tugged at him from behind.

A chewing gum-like creature, tightly bound together, came into view.

Jin explained:

"When I fell, I was only a few hundred meters away from Sherlock. There was something that looked like a convoy nearby, with three of these strange creatures inside. I tried to go up and ask them a question, but they attacked me. Then Sherlock and I teamed up and killed them all, leaving one cowardly one that we were preparing to torture."

He turned to look at Gai Lu:

"Gail, you just said you can make truth serum, right?"

Snake Sister nodded, crossing her long arms over her chest:

"My ability can produce a special kind of snake venom. Those who are injected with it will have absolute trust in me for a period of time, which can be used as a truth serum."

Jin nodded:

"Then let's get started without delay."

clap clap!

Jin suddenly delivered two slaps so fast they were too fast for the naked eye to see, instantly waking the freak from his unconsciousness!

The freak's eight eyes darted around, and just as it was about to scream, Galo's arm suddenly transformed into a small black snake with a purple bow, which bit it!

The freak's eyes immediately changed, and before long he looked dazed and drooled as he stared at Gail.

Snake Sister stepped forward, hissing, which instantly transformed into a familiar language in the freak's ears:
