Hunter x Hunter: Infinite Growth.

Now Kevin knows how he died and why.

To poach a species that is almost completely extinct, it is certainly no wonder they died.

Jin is still under observation.

……

Soon, the poachers arrived in the area.

"Boss, are we there yet?" asked a rather thin poacher.

The sleazy man with a scar on his face said impatiently, "Don't talk, we're almost there, we should be around here."

“If you ask me, we should just buy tickets and go home. We can’t contact that cunning pretty boy anyway,” said another young man with blond hair.

As the last member passed by him, his expressionless, unremarkable face saying, "If we don't want to stay in this industry anymore, that's certainly something we can do."

"Tsk, what a tasteless guy," the blond-haired man said with a hint of disapproval.

"call out!"

A sharp whistling sound rang out.

Something seemed to fly towards them from the darkness. The man with the broom-like hair was struck instantly, and he fell backward.

With a deafening roar, the darkness was pierced. He collapsed to the ground, unconscious, his cheek caved in, and copious amounts of blood gushing from his mouth.

"careful!"

This four-man squad was clearly well-trained; almost instantly, after the attack, they found cover in the surrounding area.

One of the members had already drawn his gun and fired in the direction from which the attack was coming.

The piercing sound of gunfire broke the darkness.

€€€€€€€€€€€€

In the pitch-black cave.

"Stop licking."

As Kevin spoke, he pushed the wolf cub that was perched on his shoulder away.

He held the binoculars with both hands, staring intently into the distance without even blinking.

He had only seen Jin pick up something that looked like a stone from the ground and throw it forcefully; the stone flew like a bullet.

The impact struck one of the poachers directly, yet it didn't penetrate him. The man was sent flying three or four meters before collapsing to the ground, seemingly unable to get up.

Then the other side opened fire.

Jin, as if strolling through a shopping mall, picked up a few more stones from the ground and threw them away.

This time, the commotion is even bigger.

The stone broke the tree trunk, hitting several poachers hiding behind it.

Is that all?

not yet!

Kevin saw a man who seemed to be the leader, who appeared to have blocked the attack through the trees.

The rock had sent him sliding a meter or two, but he managed to stop himself by crossing his arms.

A voice could be heard, seemingly saying something.

However, before he could retaliate or defend himself, another stone was thrown at him, this time without even a chirping sound.

In an instant.

The leader was sent flying four or five meters away, crashing into a tree with a loud bang. He seemed to be out of the game.

Wow, what kind of martial arts novel is this?

Was that a stone you threw? Are you sure it wasn't a bullet?

Based on the circumstances of the battle and some fragmented memories in my mind, this is clearly not a normal world.

He had been observing carefully and seemed to see something surging around the man opposite him, but it was somewhat unclear and indistinct.

Internal energy?

Or something else?

The screen went black.

"Hey, don't block my way!"

He reached out and dragged away the wolf cub that was blocking his way and licking the camera lens.

Perhaps because the movements were a bit rough, the wolf cub let out a whimper.

A dangerous gaze fell upon his head, and he felt a chill run down his neck.

"Haha, your son is so cute, Wolf Bro."

Kevin smiled awkwardly and hugged the little wolf cub he had just pulled over, patting it gently.

The wolf cub didn't hold a grudge and started playing with Kevin.

Chapter Five: Gift-Giving X Qi

初晨

The sky was just beginning to lighten, and the sun had not yet risen above the mountains.

The leaves in the forest were still covered with morning dew, and a light white mist permeated the dense forest with its lush foliage.

Even in the sweltering summer, it feels chilly.

Kevin shook the dew off his raincoat, sat cross-legged on the grass mat, and looked ahead.

"Hey kid, don't run away, let me check you out."

Jin smiled as he caught a wolf cub that had run away from his legs. After rubbing it a few times, he began to pry at its fur and even tugged at its tongue, seemingly checking the health of the wolf cubs.

Even though the examination caused the wolf cubs to whimper, the two-headed wolf couple didn't seem to care and simply lay quietly beside Jin.

Kevin grimaced at the sight.

Damn it, you two aren't like this at night.

"Goo~"

The sudden sound made Jin and all the creatures present look at Kevin.

Kevin wasn't embarrassed; he simply nodded and said, "Looks like I'm hungry."

"It's time to eat, let's go back." Jin stood up and clapped his hands.

"Waaah."

The two-headed wolf couple seemed to sense that Jin was about to leave, and circled around him, howling.

"How incredibly perceptive!" Kevin couldn't help but think.

However, seeing that the other party had two heads, one of which had a pointed horn on it, it was no longer surprising.

"Haha, I'll come back to see you all again in a while."

Just as they were about to leave.

The larger two-headed wolf, carrying a black horn in its mouth, came to Kevin's side and placed what it was holding at his feet.

"For me?" Kevin pointed to himself in confusion.

The horned head of the two-headed wolf nodded.

Pick up the black, pointed object and hold it in your hand. It is very light, and you can see the spiral pattern on it. The cross-section is very flat, and the inside is hollow.

Holding it in my hand, strangely enough, it felt as if I really needed it, and a slight longing welled up inside me.

Could this be...?

"That's right, these are the horns on their heads, but they're not broken off; they're the sharp points that shed as they grow."

A two-headed wolf will shed its horns four to five times in its lifetime, with each molt occurring approximately every fifteen to twenty years.

Kim, who was standing nearby, introduced the gift, and then, seemingly noticing Kevin's confusion, added, "Take it; it's a gift from him to you."

After saying that, he couldn't help but show a smug look on his face: "This is something you can only get by following me, so don't underestimate its value. At a major auction, the horns shed by a two-headed wolf are worth about fifty million jenny."

If it's a whole horn that's been cut off, its value can increase more than tenfold, which is why they were almost extinct.

As he spoke, Jin looked out of the cave and saw several people tied up next to the big tree.

These were the poachers from last night. Jin didn't kill them; they were now bound hand and foot, with socks stuffed in their mouths.

Although Kevin didn't quite understand how much purchasing power tens of millions of dollars really had, such a quantity and the performance of the gold clearly represented a considerable fortune.

But that wasn't the reason he kept staring at the sharp point in his hand. The instant he picked it up, he sensed something from that point.

Was it some kind of...muscle memory? Kevin couldn't tell, but when he picked it up, he did feel a certain urge within himself.

Why do I feel this way?
