Hunter x Hunter: Infinite Growth

"I didn't see who attacked me clearly. They were very fast, or rather, their attack speed was very fast."

"By the time I sensed the danger and tried to react, I had already been hit."

Kevin looked at Killua's current condition, mainly focusing on Killua's broken leg.

"So from the beginning, the enemy's target was your legs, right? Instead of taking your life directly?"

Killua nodded.

"However, now that I have the ability to transform into pure lightning for a short time, I can escape quickly. So even though I only have one leg, I was still able to create distance very quickly and then ran away without hesitation."

As Killua's strength increases, his lightning transformation abilities naturally also continue to improve.

Starting with transforming psychic energy into lightning, one can gradually transform their body into lightning temporarily.

"Then we caught him and helped him escape. At the time, Sanwei was also using the scent to help us identify the direction of the enemy and avoid them."

At this moment, Xiao Jie also spoke up.

After listening to the whole story, Kevin nodded slightly and sat down to think.

The most obvious point is that the enemy did not come with the intention of killing Killua directly, but rather to injure him.

Perhaps due to a lack of restraint, Killua's leg was broken.

However, from the perspective of the lords of the Dark Continent, a broken leg is probably just a simple injury.

In any case, the key point is to avoid taking lives.

It's possible that the aura carried by Kevin's mark had an effect.

But if the other party still chooses to be an enemy, it means that the other party doesn't really care about the so-called lordly aura.

Then the other party is very likely a lord who is not recognized by the Sky Overlord.

To date, all the recognized lords Kevin has encountered have displayed a very clear friendly attitude.

Just as Kevin would not engage in irrational armed conflict when he saw a recognized lord.

You can also get clear information from the dragon turtle.

There are almost no conflicts between recognized lords.

Even if there is a conflict of interest, we will try our best to restrain it.

The other party is an unrecognized lord.

According to Dragon Turtle, there are more than 20 recognized lords, while there are more than 40 unrecognized lords.

That certainly sounds like a lot.

However, the territory of the Sky Overlord is extremely large, several times or even ten times larger than that of the human archipelago.

This is based on current predictions; in reality, it could be even more exaggerated. This is because the Dragon Turtle also mentioned that if the territory of the Sky Overlords is rectangular, they would be on the wide side, which is the short side.

The territory that extends inward will be longer.

"You don't want to avenge me, do you?"

Killua looked at Kevin and couldn't help but ask.

If it's true, while touching, it's definitely not something I encourage.

Kevin shook his head.

"It's uncertain; it depends on the specific circumstances. But since they've really attacked you, it's clear they don't have any good intentions."

"If there are no friendly enemies to eliminate, why not?"

Kevin has hardly ever experienced lord-level battles, let alone hunting.

and.

He has already tasted some of the benefits.

Leaving aside the materials used to devour the sandworms, the gains from just the transparent tendon they obtained earlier were enormous.

If it's too high, you can wait and even use it for other purposes; if it's too low, it's just right for making medicine.

The effects are too tempting.

"Anyway, your previous explorations were paving the way for my upcoming explorations. I will continue to move forward in the direction of your explorations. If we encounter them, we'll see how they react."

The exploration team consisting of Gon, Killua, the Three-Tails, and Nanika was not heading towards any dangerous areas from the beginning.

This can be considered an advance exploration team for Kevin's later exploration.

It's also a way for them to release some of their energy.

After saying goodbye to the others, Kevin reorganized the data.

A few days later.

The exploration team, led by Kevin, was ready to set off.

Kevin, Biskey, Gawain, Menchi, Buhara.

Aside from Gawain, the other three are among Kevin's more consistent pairings.

"This long-distance exploration is expected to take more than a year, and if it's a round trip, it will take at least two years, barring any unforeseen circumstances."

Kevin said, holding a map in his hand.

The map in my hand is a simplified map derived from various records and predictions over the past year.

The markings on the painting indicate that the object is heading inland.

It's just starting from where you are now, then going through the folding area, jumping to the folding area, and then moving upwards.

Using folded sections as stepping stones can save a considerable amount of distance.

"As for the safety of the camp, Zhanzhan Gui is still nagging his girlfriend and won't be leaving the camp anytime soon."

"As for Netero, he will probably explore the surrounding area rather than venture far in. There is plenty of time and opportunity now; there is no need to rashly put himself into extreme danger."

Needless to say, Zhan Zhan Gui has been working on this ever since Jin gave him a suggestion that might not be feasible, and he has already made considerable progress.

I've poured all my energy into it, and I'm still at the camp, so I need the advice of the Nen experts there as a reference.

He simply doesn't have time to run around aimlessly, and if something happens, his own wife will also be affected, so his safety is guaranteed.

The surrounding area is full of neighbors, and the relationships are all quite good, so the possibility of danger is extremely low.

Netero's main objective in his exploration is to find intelligent and powerful individuals.

Exploration itself is not the goal, so he is not in a hurry. He will slowly wander around, adapt, understand, and search carefully.

He found races like the Monkey King to be interesting.

A cursory exploration is of little significance to Nitero.

As for the other teams in the camp, they had already formed relatively fixed exploration directions, and everyone had their own direction to explore.

And they are all detailed explorations.

Such a large area cannot be digested in a short period of time.

The camp is now truly on the right track.

That's why Kevin was able to explore the outside world for a long time and build such a long-distance exploration team.

"From now on, the camp arrangements will be in your hands."

Kevin looked at Melusine and said.

Melusin was slightly reluctant, but still nodded.

Nowadays, everyone is a long-lived species, with a lifespan of several hundred years at the very least, so a difference of one or two years is not something to be ashamed of.

Moreover, having a wedding ring does indeed allow her to play a certain role as Kevin in the camp.

"It's a promise, you have to take me with you on the next expedition."

"Of course, I'll definitely take you."

As the two were parting, Melusin sensed something and grabbed someone.

"What do you want to do? I'll tell you, you're not allowed to go!"

The captured Three-Tailed Beast opened its mouth slightly, but after seeing Melusin's serious face, it lowered its head helplessly. This trick didn't seem to work.

"You're too young. You can't even beat Xiao Jie and the others. Just stay here quietly."

Kevin watched with a smile as Melusin lectured the Three-Tails, and finally patted the Three-Tails on the head.

He waved and led the group out of the camp.

There are quite a few people looking in this direction.

As everyone knows, Kevin is about to embark on an exploration.

They were filled with anticipation for exploring the strongest beings and the information or gains that might follow.

……

"We've been out here for almost a year, haven't we?"

Beside a frozen lake, an off-road RV, camouflaged in snow, is parked, its back against a three-sided rock formation.

Upon hearing Ai Meimei's words, Jin did some calculations and nodded slightly.

"That's about enough. Come to think of it, we've been out for quite a while now."

At this moment, there was a huge scar on his face, which stretched from his forehead all the way to his collarbone.

The scars are so exaggerated that you'd think Jin's head and neck had been split in two.

Although this scar was newly added during this year.

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that Ai Meimei and the others all have scars or disabilities on their bodies to varying degrees.

For example, Simo's hand was cut in half at the palm position, leaving only the thumb.

Tuk has lost an eye.

The rest of the people are mostly just scars.

They have encountered a lot over the past year.

However, these people did not lose their momentum, nor did they become dejected or sad; in fact, they had a sense of high morale.

Tuk sat down next to them. In the center of the small camp was a human head-sized roundworm ingot woven from specially made vines.

And the worm is a small ball of fire that floats around.

This small ball of fire brought a lot of heat to the surrounding area, making it warm and cozy all the time.

It effectively protected them from the severe cold here.

At this moment, the small fireball inside made a sound.

"When are you leaving? I don't like it here."

Jin reached out and tapped the roundworm mark.

"It will be soon. I will cover you up after we get back on the road. Just bear with it a little longer."

"Liar! I've been with you all this time, in the snow and freezing wind. What kind of snowmen are you?"

After saying that, the fireball stopped talking and floated quietly in the middle, radiating its light and heat.

Tuk looked at the simple map in his hand.

"We explored inland along the possible boundaries of the territory of the Sky Overlord. The boundaries along this route were indeed covered in ice and snow, and the territory on the other side was completely covered by extreme cold and ice."

"It's most likely the territory of another lord, almost bordering the territory of the Sky Overlord."

Twasi walked over and said with a smile, "It's a bit cold in here, but it's such a safe route. If we didn't take this route, we don't know where we would have died."

That's true.

Because it was the border between the territories of two overlords, there weren't many creatures near it on either side.

Perhaps due to the significant differences in their environments, the creatures in both territories are unwilling to set foot in each other's lands, resulting in this area becoming almost a no-man's land.

Navigation safety is greatly increased in this area; only temperature and cold winds remain the biggest problems.

But this isn't a big problem for them, who already own off-road RVs. Moreover, these RVs are the building blocks of their Nen abilities, so they don't need to worry about the problems that occur with normal cars.
