For a full two days and two nights, the gray wolf Chimera Ant didn't attack at all, just followed behind Gon and Killua like that.
The gray wolf Chimera Ant had decent strength, but it just wouldn't engage head-on to the end, instead adopting a posture of tormenting its prey both mentally and physically.
That seemed to be its hobby: to slowly drive the prey into a corner, then leave the prey with only two choices.
Either die in silence, or erupt in silence and then die.
It didn't yet know which of these two little prey would choose, but it wasn't in a hurry, instead enjoying itself.
Gon and Killua realized this. They attacked the gray wolf Chimera Ant several times, but the other party would only dodge. Even if hit directly, it would just show a comfortable expression, without even a scratch.
Couldn't run away, couldn't defeat it.
The gray wolf Chimera Ant's behavior nearly disgusted Gon and Killua to death.
But what could they do?
Who told them they couldn't take on this big bad wolf head-on.
"This bastard, is it ever going to end?!"
Killua ran at high speed, glancing back at the gray wolf Chimera Ant closely following.
"It wants to exhaust us to death," Gon said.
The enemy had clear wolf-like characteristics, and its hunting method was quite similar to a wolf's: follow the prey closely, then attack when the prey is exhausted and collapses or relaxes.
But the problem was, this wolf's strength wasn't weak at all, so there was no need to do this.
"I really want to kill him!"
Several veins bulged on Killua's forehead.
The deterrence displayed by the gray wolf Chimera Ant was just at an awkward level, neither too high nor too low.
It was like scratching an itch… it scratched it, but not quite deep enough.
So it gave Killua and Gon a sense that they wouldn't be killed by the other party, but also couldn't kill the other party.
If not for that, the needle in Killua's head would have already taken effect… he wouldn't be thinking about killing the other party.
"Calm down, calm down!"
Seeing Killua's expression, Gon hurriedly advised.
Killua, of course, wouldn't act recklessly, nodding at Gon to tell him not to worry.
Over these two days, several of Killua and Gon's surprise attacks had been ineffective, making them realize the tricky nature of their opponent.
In the end, the electrical energy Killua had stored was almost used up, and he had no time to recharge.
If this continued, the two of them might very well be dragged to death.
To escape this dangerous situation, one option was to call for reinforcements, and the other was to go to a city with a high population density.
For the former, the only one they could call was Law, but that might be like trying to put out a fire from afar… Law was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no news.
For the latter, Gon couldn't overcome his own moral barrier. If he led the gray wolf Chimera Ant into a city, it would obviously kill a large number of people.
Helplessly, the two could only keep running dumbly. Fortunately, their stamina was strong enough to last a while longer.
The gray wolf Chimera Ant stared at the two fleeing boys ahead, its face full of sinister, eerie expression.
"Two cute little bunnies, it's about time, hehehe..."
An exaggeratedly large tongue swept over most of its face, the overflowing saliva exuding a foul stench.
Between its sharp teeth, bloody shreds of meat were easily visible.
A stream of Nen rose from the gray wolf Chimera Ant's body, instantly transforming into a pink dress that draped over its robust frame.
The dress was adorned with many red strawberry patterns, and its furry head was wrapped in a pink headscarf, also covered with strawberry patterns.
The moment the Nen fluctuated, Gon and Killua glanced back. Seeing the gray wolf Chimera Ant put on women's clothing, they immediately felt chills all over.
Noticing the two's gaze, the gray wolf Chimera Ant let out more hehehe laughter.
"This guy is too disgusting!"
Killua's body trembled slightly, then his expression changed as he realized something was wrong.
He abruptly looked at Gon, his mouth twitching.
Gon had a red cloth cap on his head.
Gon also felt his body getting heavier, then also saw a red hat on Killua's head.
The two looked at each other, immediately thinking of the gray wolf Chimera Ant's Nen Ability.
"Gyo!"
Without needing to remind each other, both focused Aura into their eyes, then saw red threads, like willow catkins, extending from the red hats, connecting to the gray wolf Chimera Ant's eyes.
"What ability is this?"
Killua looked at the gray wolf Chimera Ant's slightly reddish beast-like eyes, frowning slightly.
The Nen Ability used by the other party seemed to be Conjuration-type, but also had Emission-type effects. The initial guess was that it was an ability created using the characteristics of both types.
"Does its ability seem related to the story of the Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood?" Gon remembered a story an aunt told him when he was little.
"What's that?" Killua asked, puzzled.
"A fairy tale."
Gon said matter-of-factly while running.
"Is there a fairy tale that perverted?" Killua's face darkened. After complaining, he quickly said, "What's the story about?"
"I don't remember too clearly."
Gon stuck out his tongue.
Killua almost stumbled and fell.
Suddenly, the two shuddered violently, almost simultaneously focusing aura into their legs, then bursting it out to propel themselves forward swiftly.
It was because the cross-dressed gray wolf Chimera Ant had instantly gotten close behind them, stimulating them.
In that brief moment, they could even smell the foul stench from the gray wolf Chimera Ant's mouth.
The two were still fleeing, but the feeling was different now.
Sweat unknowingly seeped onto Killua's face.
During the previous chase, the threat from the gray wolf Chimera Ant wasn't that intense to him, still within an acceptable range. But now it was different.
At this moment, it felt like he was breathing poisonous gas, and he could die at any moment.
This more direct and intense sense of crisis made Killua completely abandon his previous anger-filled desire to kill the gray wolf Chimera Ant.
The enemy's level was too high… it wasn't something he could defeat.
He could only flee, flee...
"Knowing fear is a good thing, hehehe."
A cold voice suddenly sounded by his ear.
Killua's expression changed abruptly.
'When did it-?'
The next moment, the Aura on his body turned into electricity, and he swung his hand back towards his side.
The gray wolf Chimera Ant had already seen Killua's ability before. It paused briefly to evade this attack, then smoothly followed again.
That ugly face once again imprinted itself in Killua's vision. Then, Killua heard the other party's words again.
"It will drive you to make the right decision, like how right now you're so scared you can only think of running."
"That's good, hehehe."
For some reason, the gray wolf Chimera Ant still didn't attack Killua.
'He could kill me at any time?'
However, its actions created an illusion for Killua.
Just then, a light shone from the side.
Gon's fist, wrapped in Nen, struck towards the gray wolf Chimera Ant.
"Yo."
The gray wolf Chimera Ant avoided the fist but was still grazed a bit. At the same time, its abdomen bulged slightly.
Gon saw this phenomenon. Though strange, he didn't have time to consider it too much, hurriedly pulling Killua along.
The two once again barely managed to put some distance between them.
That Chimera Ant kept dodging, not attacking proactively, but continuously creating the illusion for the two that it could attack at any time, or would attack at any moment.
It kept creating pressure between life and death...
Gon could withstand it, and he thought Killua could too, because that's how they had gotten through these two days and two nights.
"Killua, maybe we have a way to defeat him!"
Gon was thinking about the phenomenon of the gray wolf Chimera Ant's abdomen bulging slightly just now but didn't notice Killua's current condition.
In just over ten seconds, Killua's face was already soaked with sweat.
