As she delved deeper into the territory of the chimeric ants, Kate became aware of a fact.

That is, the territory of ants is very large, but the most extensive area, there are few signs of ant activity... In other words, all the hunter teams that come to investigate will unconsciously enter the core hinterland of the ant colony. I mistakenly thought I was on the edge of ant hunting... But in fact, it was because of Hao and his team that something happened that forced the ants to shrink their area of activity and assume a defensive posture.

It's shocking...

Single-handedly make the whole ant colony fearful.

"The soul system's telepathic ability..."

Kate thought of the information mentioned by Kim Fulix again.

This ability... Not to mention ants, even those who are also capable of thinking are very difficult to defend against.

The soul system has its natural uniqueness, and of course, it is also proportional to the difficulty of development.

However, the hard work paid off, and Kate began to follow the vine, following some clues to find the ant hunting team.

He analyzed that even if chimeric ants were cautious, it would not be possible to cut off food sources.

"Twenty of them... I'm in charge of the middle ones, you two clean up the left and right, pay attention to the speed, the chimeric ants will pass signals between each other... It's something we can't perceive. The three of them performed a 'absolute' state, hiding in the shade of a tree, and after Kate admonished, they instantly burst out.

Killua and Jie followed, sprinting towards the ants from different directions.

More than two dozen chimeric ants are not yet a threat to the trio...

Compared to the two imps, Kate didn't use telekinesis, and simply attacked with his hands and feet, but his movements were extremely sharp and elegant... Punches, bends, knees, leg sweeps, almost every blow that hits the chimeric ant's body is fatal, and he falls to the ground.

On the other hand, Killua and Xiaojie each released their telekinetic abilities, and Killua flashed electricity from his hands... Fast as thunder.

Xiao Jie's fist was full of mental power.

The two little ones seem to be mighty, but they are more than a beat slower than Kate to take on enemies.

Xiaojie also almost let an ant fly away, and if it weren't for Kate's timely action, more ants might have been recruited from nearby.

A few minutes later, the battle ended.

Kate glanced at Xiao Jie, who showed an embarrassed smile, and did not criticize, but like an elder and a teacher, he was summarizing, "These humanoid chimeric ants have extraordinary physical strength, if you want to kill them in a short instant, you must use telekinesis, and you must aim at their vulnerable parts... Although the body structure is different, there are still some weaknesses, the best parts... It's the head. Don't give them a chance to breathe or fight back. ”

"Yes."

Xiaojie responded with a positive color.

"It's a little weird...", Kate then reached out and pressed the brim of her hat.

"What's wrong?"

Killua asked.

"I'm sure that this person hasn't been here before, and most of them were deliberately released to the ant colony to let them come out to eat food..."

That person.

Needless to say, Killua knows it's hazy.

"I've been handing the report to the association for a while, and if you want to get from it, it's faster than us... In other words, there are already hunters who have come here before us. Kate stared ahead, "Because the ants have narrowed the area of activity, it is easy for outsiders to mistake this for the edge of the colony's territory, and it is actually more dangerous than expected... And most importantly, there are no markers! ”

Full-fledged hunters, when on a mission ... The direction of consideration is comprehensive.

Given the Society's level of danger regarding this investigation, all participants are aware that other companions will follow.

And the hunters who come here first to carry out the mission will definitely make some markers on the way to explore... Message for future generations.

"They don't necessarily follow the same route as us, do they?" Xiaojie wondered.

The territory is so large that it is impossible for everyone to choose one direction to explore.

"No, Jeffrey."

At this time, Killua also touched his chin and said solemnly.

"On the contrary, even if there are no markers, everyone will choose this route in unison... Because there are no signs of ant activity in other areas, our mission is only to investigate, so... Everyone's primary goal is to find the ant-infested area first. All other directions are corpses of ants that have been killed by the Obscure, not living objects to observe... Although it seems that there is no danger, this situation is more worrying. Other people's thinking, like ours, goes deeper and deeper from the edge, instead of running directly to the ant's nest, which is looking for death... What everyone is looking for is not speed, but data. ”

Killua is worthy of being a genius cultivated by the Enemy Killer family, and in this regard, he has shown a quality that far surpasses that of Xiaojie.

"But no matter how many people came before us... The point is, none of them are marked. ”

With that, Killua looked at Kate.

"Go on."

Kate is like a teacher who asks questions, looking at Killua with appreciation.

"There are two possibilities, the first is that the ants have sensed our intentions and erased the markers to prevent us from going deeper and closer to the nest. Second, the people who came before us were killed... Died before he could get acquainted with the area, find the 'safe house' to hide, and mark it... It shows that there must be some kind of dangerous force nearby. ”

"Either way..."

Killua took a deep breath of cold air, and his expression palpitated: "It is said that the people sent by the association... Already sacrificed. ”

Kate nodded, "Good analysis... Chimeric ants are creatures that have a class sequence, which is far more complex than ordinary ants, and at the moment we are killing only the most ordinary soldier ants, and there should be a stronger threat than soldier ants. ”

"So, you two must be in good spirits, if you really encounter danger and become a burden, I may not choose to save you..."

Kate's voice was heavy: "I'll ask you again, are you sure you want to continue?" It's too late to quit now. ”

Killua and Xiaojie glanced at each other and did not speak.

But the resolute eyes undoubtedly gave the answer.

Kate smiled with relief.

Keep going...

"Mr. Kate..."

On the way, Xiaojie couldn't help but speak.

"Huh?"

"Could it be that Mr. Hao and his companions have already found the ant nest?"

"As far as I know, they have not received commissions or appointments from the association..."

Kate said calmly.

“……”

Jj.

……

Time passes slowly.

Half a day later, the three of them encountered several chimeric ant squads, and also witnessed the inhumane scene of ants piling up human corpses together.

The NGL is not a formal country, which makes the management of the country very loose and undisciplined... It's more like Zailo has snare a group of private armed troops. The lack of modern facilities and backward information transmission has made the people in the country, until now, not aware that ants are killing humans.

And it can also be seen that the chimeric ants traveled a long distance for hunting, and the pile of corpses that the three of them saw was just a transfer point for food.

Xiaojie is angry...

He couldn't accept chimeric ants.

Kate also noticed Jay's expression, but did not comfort or talk much.

These... It's all about what you need to go through to become a great hunter, and there will be more things to encounter in the future... It's also trickier.

In the evening, Kate led the two to a hill.

The three of them stood beneath a steep cliff.

After crossing this mountain, you will break away from the forest sea and step into another landscape.

Judging from the number of times they have encountered ants in recent times, it is very likely that they are approaching the boundary line of the antnest base camp ahead.

Normally, it's not that fast... But the ants themselves have narrowed the scope, and Kate's experience and ability have come into play.

Swish!

Xiaojie and Killua were about to climb, but Kate suddenly raised her hand to stop the two, her face expressionless.

Immediately, Kate stepped forward a few steps on her own, bent down and picked up a bloodstained shoe from the ground.

The victims of the association ...

Kate's focus is not on this relic.

It's a word on the ground, outlined with a finger, die!

This is undoubtedly a reminder and warning given by the dead hunter for later companions.

Let the people of the association stop moving forward!

Then, without warning, Kate unleashed her telekinesis, the Crazy Joker.

The Joker opens his mouth and laughs playfully at Kate, and the roulette wheel in her mouth begins to spin...

At the same time, Xiaojie and Killua were suddenly startled, sensed a certain breath, and looked up one after another, and saw that the mountains on the cliff were densely packed, and a long row of black shadows appeared.

It's chimeric ants!

But the appearance of these ants is completely different from the soldier ants they have encountered before, their appearance is closer to that of humans, and their limbs also have more obvious animal characteristics.

The most important thing is... This swarm of ants can talk...

At the head is a bespectacled toad and an octopus-headed guy.

Xiaojie and Killua are like great enemies!

Know... Kate speaks, the higher sequence of ants, appeared!

"Hmm... Three special species... Oh no, according to human parlance, it should be called a telepathic one..."

The head of the toad division looked at the three of Kate condescendingly, and said calmly: "From the perspective of qi, the danger is the greatest... Is that you? ”

As he spoke, the toad stared at Kate.

"Oh?"

Kate looked up at the ants standing on it and smiled slightly, "It's incredible, I even know about it..."

It's horrible, this ability to learn.

Kate had already noticed that almost most of these ants had learned to read.

He was relaxed on the surface, but in fact, his heart instantly became heavy.

The association's assessment of the ant's danger was wrong...

Things have taken a more dangerous turn.

"And thank you, human telepaths... Oh no, I should say thank that person, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't know that Nian exists. You humans are inferior species, but in some ways, I am amazed. The toad pushed his glasses and said softly.

Standing beside it, another division commander chimed in: "It's a pity that you human beings are limited by the body, and there is a natural gap between us in terms of qi... It is also destined that you will always be at the bottom of the food chain. ”

"Hmm... Well... Hmm..."

Kate responded perfunctorily.

At this point, the Mad Joker had turned to Number 2, and as the smoke rose, he had an exaggerated and huge scythe-shaped weapon in his hand.

Then, the ants were blinded.

Immediately, the white-haired man who was still standing at the bottom of the cliff suddenly jumped several times, leaping above their heads like black lightning, and the speed was so fast that it seemed that in the blink of an eye, he climbed dozens of meters and landed in front of them.

Kate's hat was lowered and lifted slightly, revealing a cold eye.

looked at the two division commanders who couldn't help but retreat.

"If my guess is right... The person you're talking about hasn't been there for a long time, hasn't it? So... You're daring to come out, right? ”

"You think he's gone..."

"Could it be... Hasn't his appearance made you realize a problem? ”

"That is, the telepathic among the human race... There may be more than one special being like him..."

Oops!

I'm going to die...

After speaking, with Kate's scythe raised suddenly.

The two division commanders suddenly woke up.

During this time, there were quite a few people who had the mental ability to chimera ant hunting... But none of them could make them as intimidating as that man, which made several of their division commanders slowly put their minds at ease, because they found that even if they didn't learn to read, they seemed to be able to slaughter some special species of human beings by relying on their pure bodies... Not to mention after the Awakening Thought.

The man was gone, nowhere to be found.

With the acquisition of new powers, the ferocity in their hearts is also released.

Neither the frog nor the octopus had ever bumped into the man described by Korudo... Just listening to his words, that human being was unimaginably terrifying.

But after all, it's just an oral story, not an immersive one.

However... Now, the white-haired man wielding a scythe in front of them suddenly understood... What Korrudo meant by that.

This is the judgment!

It's a will that they simply can't contend with...
