Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

"These are all obvious, but what about the language those monsters speak?"

Everyone talked at once, but couldn't reach a conclusion, so they could only move on.

Having crossed two acidic rivers, Qiduo handed over the "passing kidney" and "passing stomach" respectively, and theoretically three days and three nights had passed.

This made everyone anxious.

"This place is huge! We've been walking for so long, and with the time it took for Qiduo to give birth to the organs, it's already been over 72 hours!"

Sherlock looked annoyed.

"After that, we still need to find a way to get to Yang De, which will inevitably involve a lot of intrigue and backstabbing. We might not even be able to find a way out. Once we get out, we need to find the herb that can cure all diseases. After finding it, we'll have to go back the way we came. Is all of this really in time?"

He was a little worried about what might happen to Xiya, Qiduo's mother, who was far away on the Sixth Continent.

"It's alright, just leave the task of sending the vanilla back to me..."

"Poxon said instinctively."

She always felt that the reason Dia brought her aboard the ship was for this purpose, so that she could sacrifice herself for humanity in the end.

Although it's a little heartbreaking, since it's his idea, there's nothing to hesitate about; we should just listen to him.

Sherlock sighed:

"Don't be silly. Haven't you tested your own abilities? The lifespan required to return to the Six Continents from here would be enough to drain you dry. That brat Dia would never let you do something like that."

"Then why did he bring me along?!"

"Who knows why he brought you here? Go ask him!"

"How would I know where he is, and do I even need to ask?"

Poxon yelled angrily.

At this moment, she wanted to see Dia more than anyone else, not only for the reasons mentioned earlier, but also because she recalled the experience of being kicked in.

When I think back to that burning figure, it somehow reminds me of Dia...

"Alright, stop arguing. Speaking of which, Dia should be here too, right? Can he decipher the language of these monsters? If not, how do we find him?"

Jin decisively stopped the impending conflict within the team and changed the subject.

This difficult question stumped everyone, and for a moment, there was complete silence.

But to everyone's surprise, the question was answered very quickly.

As we passed the foot of a large, yellow mountain, a procession approached from afar, led by two burly men with strange oil-painted faces.

What's conspicuous is the long line of animals that look like cows trailing behind the queue.

The burly man leading the group's group immediately lit up when he saw Jin and his companions. He rushed towards them, laughing loudly.

"Haha! Jin, and Qiduo! You two are still alive!"

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Porter and Yinda!

"What a coincidence, you're here too?!"

Galo blurted out in surprise, but her question was answered by Kim.

He said with a smile:

"You're also going to see Bi Yangde, right? That so-called newly appointed emperor?"

"You figured it out? That's right. We thought you would definitely have a way to figure out the target, so we were sure we would meet you there. We just didn't expect to run into you halfway there."

Potter happily touched his head and laughed.

Jin looked around and asked:

"Is it just the two of you? Didn't anyone else meet with you?"

"And there's this old man."

A voice came from the wheelchair behind Porter.

Geno casually pulled back the carriage curtain, calmly greeted the passengers, and looked utterly terrifying.

Not only was half of his face melted into a mass, but his entire body was also wrapped in bandages, and one leg and one arm were missing, clearly indicating that he had suffered serious injuries.

Fortunately, his skill was profound. Judging from the "Entanglement" on his body, he still had basic combat ability. Such an injury would probably have prevented an ordinary Nen user from even maintaining the "Entanglement".

"When Grandpa Geno met us in the molten acid, he sensed the terror of the acid river on his own, but thought he could fly directly there, so he used his power to condense a spirit dragon."

"Unfortunately, the dragon disappeared as soon as it appeared on the river. The old man fell into the river without warning. Luckily, he was close to the shore and survived until we arrived."

Potter sighed, and said somewhat sadly:

"Besides that, we also ran into Kate on the way, who was already on his deathbed."

Upon hearing his disciple's name, Jin frowned and quickly asked:

"What happened? Did he encounter a formidable enemy?"

In that brief glance, King didn't see Kate in the convoy, which meant that Kate was probably no longer able to keep up with Porter's team.

Even the severely injured Geno wasn't abandoned by Potter and Yinda, so Kate is probably already...

"He died in battle protecting someone."

Potter sighed deeply, feeling immense regret for this excellent hunter.

Then, as if to confirm his words, a low sob came from the cart—right behind Geno.

Everyone turned their attention to him and saw a curly-haired man wearing thick glasses, covering his face and crying.

"Is Potter referring to you? Did my disciple die protecting you?"

Jin walked up to the man with a serious expression.

The bespectacled man's body began to tremble involuntarily, tears streaming down his face as his voice trembled:

"Yes, it's me... It's all my fault. That's why Mr. Kate was surrounded and couldn't escape. You can hit me or kill me if you want..."

Jin shook his head:

“I won’t kill you. Kate isn’t the kind of person who suddenly becomes kind. He risked his life to protect you, which means you must have a value greater than his life.”

The man froze.

This answer was exactly the same as what Porter had told him before.

Is this the unspoken understanding among top hunters, such unwavering trust in their partner's judgment...?

"...I, my name is Kururi, I am an ancient literature scholar in the Yangde team, and I am proficient in the languages ​​of ancient civilizations."

Kururi wiped away her snot and tears, looking quite disheveled, but her voice became firm:

“I know all of Billy Yangde’s plans on the Dark Continent and can decipher most of the ancient scripts, including the languages ​​spoken by the creatures here. I will do everything I can to repay Mr. Kate’s kindness and help you!”

Porter explained for him:

"This kid seems to be sincere, unlike Yang De who is cold-blooded and ruthless. He solved all the translation problems we encountered on the way here, and it was also thanks to him that we found these animals and were able to find the live rudder to cross that acid river."

Jin nodded without saying anything.

His ability to judge people is superb; how could he not see whether Kururi was sincere or not?

But that kid Kate just died like that...

Kim knows Kate's ability: in "Crazy Joker," there's a number that can save Kate's life after he dies.

However, there are conditions for activating that ability: there must be an intelligent being about to be born within a five-mile radius. Once this condition is met, the Mad Clown will create a backup in that unborn creature. If Kate dies in battle, his soul can be reborn through the backup.

Conversely, if there are no newborns who meet the requirements, then even if the number is drawn, the ability cannot be activated.

Then the problem is coming.

Could Kate really be so lucky as to happen to encounter a newborn baby in this world?

Jin had a feeling that Kate had truly died in battle.

His ability did not activate...

“Let’s go. Sacrifice was his own choice, so no one needs to regret it for him, nor should anyone be swayed by his identity as someone’s disciple or teacher.”

Jin gave a long speech, then walked forward without thinking.

Not long after, they finally reached the last pass. Theoretically, if they went a little further, they would reach the imperial city.

This pass should be the final checkpoint for the "passing heart".

But when Kido, carrying a huge pile of hearts, arrived at the pass, he only saw a bald, rat-like creature rummaging through the encampment tents.

The soldiers who should have been stationed here are nowhere to be seen...

This unusual scene alerted everyone.

They caught the rat and began questioning it:

"Who are you? Where are the soldiers here?"

The mouse looked terrified and blurted out everything it knew, like spilling beans:

"I... I'm a civilian from a village downstream. I just saw those soldiers fleeing for their lives, so I came to scavenge some food to take my family with me..."

"The soldiers fled for their lives? Isn't this a rotten country? Why would they run away?"

The mouse cried out in alarm:

"Don't you know? The Rotten Heart Kingdom is about to be destroyed!"

"Not only the Rotten Heart Country, but also the three neighboring countries of Lung, Kidney, and Intestine have been completely wiped out! Even the maggots in the ground know about it!"

The hunters were startled and quickly pressed for answers:

"The country was destroyed? What happened? What's going on?"

The mouse pointed to their east:

"The news coming from that direction says that a monster fell from the sky and landed in the capital of the Kidney Kingdom, turning the residents and the emperor of the Kidney Kingdom into slimy, shelled monsters!"

"He didn't stop, he kept coming this way, destroying everything in his path. Everyone says he's an angry god of destruction..."
