Wasn't he attacking himself... Because he didn't have the desire to attack the Gyudondond Tribe for the time being, or hostility?
And just now, Hisoka was preparing to go find the Gyudondond Tribe...
With a swish, Hisoka lightly flicked his arm. The playing cards tore through the air, cutting the rabbit into pieces of minced meat all over the ground, dividing it into many pieces.
He and Oboro burst up at the same time, and charged into the horde of beasts.
Due to their own weak aura, even if they were strengthened, they were still in a passive state, and hadn't been developed and trained... When faced with two humans like gods of slaughter, these creatures could hardly resist.
Hisoka was using his playing cards to find weaknesses, and madly hacking and slashing.
And Oboro was simply using martial arts, relying on his powerful and swift fists and feet to sweep away the onrushing targets.
Soon, patches and patches of species fell like chives being cut, one after another...
But because of the dense attacks and numbers, they couldn't destroy every individual completely, causing some corpses to stand up again.
Bang!
Just as Oboro had bombed a blue-skinned, mane-covered warcraft that resembled a tiger with a punch... Suddenly, he seemed to sense something. His expression changed, and he reached for his neck.
With his movement, an inconspicuous black bug was pinched in his hand.
Seeing this bug, a feeling of coldness rose in Oboro's heart.
His body surface had Nen defense, but this little thing could silently bite through 'Nen', and wanted to break through the isolation of Nen and burrow into his skin...
"Go!"
Oboro dodged an attack from a beast, and shouted at Hisoka.
Then, he jumped onto a tree, and used the trunk to soar through the air from a high place, heading straight down the mountain.
Hisoka used Bungee Gum, and under the pull of Nen, he also flew up, and disappeared into the lush trees one after the other with Oboro.
Not only would they have to kill these wild things, but they would also have to completely destroy them, which would waste a lot of time, and was meaningless.
The goal had already been achieved!
The horde of beasts obviously didn't intend to let them go, but because of the large difference in speed between the two sides, they eventually lost track of the two humans.
A few minutes later, Oboro and Hisoka appeared on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain.
"It's this kind of thing, huh..."
Hisoka walked over, and spread out his palm. Seven or eight bugs were wrapped in his Nen, and entangled together.
Oboro also had one in his hand.
"It's 'eating' your Nen..."
Oboro said.
Looking closely, the bugs that were attached to Hisoka like chewing gum were shaking their chest feet and struggling. At the same time, as their mouthparts opened and closed, they were also gnawing at the Nen... After a short while, Hisoka's Nen had a noticeable reduction.
"Hehehe..."
Hisoka chuckled, and also found it very interesting.
He had never seen this kind of 'wonderful' insect.
Half an hour later, the two returned to the place where the team was hiding.
"It's this..."
When Kaki and Lance saw the bug, they were also shocked.
After listening to Oboro's account of what the two had encountered, they couldn't help but feel their scalps tingle.
After all, Oboro and Hisoka were both very strong. This inconspicuous little bug could actually gnaw at Nen. Didn't that mean that even Nen users, as long as they were given a chance, and there was a gap in their defenses, could be caught off guard and get hit?
"There are also Nen users in the East Gorteau army. If it wasn't so dangerous, it wouldn't have made them feel tricky." Oboro said calmly.
Then he looked at the others.
Everyone was shaking their heads... They obviously didn't know what family the bug belonged to.
It was the first time they had seen it.
Including the villager who had been held hostage...
It wasn't a local species.
It would be great if there was a Hunter in the team who was engaged in biological research.
"Kaki... You escort Dama back to the base first, send the photos to the Association, and also search for information online. Before that, has there ever been a related incident..." Oboro instructed.
"Okay."
Kaki nodded.
"This bug acts slightly, and it's not easy to detect... Even when it's gnawing at Nen, it's the same. First find a bottle to put them in, and be careful." Oboro handed the bug to Kaki, and instructed him.
"Yes."
Then, the latter first led Dama away from the team.
As long as they had the relevant entry procedures, they could sneak out from the border line again. It wouldn't be a problem...
The key was that when they left this country, they had to go through the 'normal channel'.
Oboro looked at Hisoka, without saying anything.
Hisoka understood: "I think it's a bit like go crazy... And it also has the effects of drugs."
Those corpses that had died and stood up again, their physical strength had become even more terrifying... It was all because of this bug.
Oboro nodded, and raised the bug he was pinching on his finger towards the moonlight in the night sky, "This is... Its ability."
Oboro looked at the bug in his fingers, which was making a small squeaking sound, and his mood was heavy.
Unlike the wild animals in the forest that had been parasitized, this bug had the initiative of 'awakening Nen abilities'.
It was just a small insect, and didn't even have self-awareness... It only had biological instincts.
How did you do it?
"Don't you think... It's like it's fulfilling a mission."
At this time, Hisoka approached, stretched his head over from beside Oboro's shoulder, and looked at the bug in his hand, and said playfully.
"It's been given some kind of will, huh..."
Oboro calmly said.
He also thought so.
This bug, although it was very small, was fluctuating with Nen. It was Nen... Not aura.
Moreover, this kind of Nen... Didn't seem to be produced by it on its own.
The reason why Oboro felt so awkward was because this group of Nen, like a spark, was very evil.
"Let's rest first."
He gave the order.
He gave Lance a look.
"You can go!"
Seeing this, Lance said to the villager.
"Thank you."
The man was overjoyed when he heard this, and then ran away.
Lance then followed unhurriedly.
...
On a tree branch, Oboro crossed one leg, and his figure was reflected in the silver moon in the sky, sitting idly...
In his palm, the bug was circling and crawling, unable to escape.
Hisoka was sitting on the ground under the tree, arranging his favorite playing cards.
"This kind of aura is very similar to grudge..." A thought flashed through Oboro's mind.
Grudge was a product of the original theater version.
Simply put, it was an energy opposite to Nen attributes...
Both were affected by personal will and spirit, and were full of negative emotions such as darkness and depravity. They belonged to the filth that was born from the 'human heart'.
But its overall function and effect were still the same as Nen...
The only difference was that because of the different 'angles of birth', the two energies had unique properties.
Grudge had some innate functions, and was very close to death.
In the theater version, it came into view along with Jed, the leader of the 'dark' organization who had served V5 along with the Chairman back then.
In his early years, Netero was in the open, and Jed was in the dark... The latter was a shadow, hidden beneath the sunlight.
He led people to specialize in all kinds of dirty and tiring work, engaging in assassination, silencing, and other bloody-related work...
In the end, this group of people was abandoned.
Jed also died at the hands of the Chairman, and then was resurrected and reappeared...
Including those building masters who were controlled by Grudge in the Sky Arena in later generations... They were all like zombies.
Oboro was willing to believe that Jed's resurrection was a new power called Grudge, with an attached ability or effect. This was something that Nen couldn't do...
Most importantly, it was Jed's personal will, his strong unwillingness and revenge. But it was obviously not post-mortem Nen...
It was also possible that some object acted as a medium, providing an opportunity.
Of course, these were all his thoughts after watching the theater version, and some guesses that he had made.
He didn't know how Jed was specifically resurrected... What secrets were involved during this time.
Nen and Grudge were both powers that originated from the human heart... Nen was life, and Grudge tended towards the concept of reverse death.
"It's not the same type as Grudge... If it really was, there would be no need to be so complicated..." Oboro closed his eyes, leaned his head against the tree trunk, and pondered.
The bug had been given some kind of will, and was transmitted by Nen... From this point of view, it was very similar to post-mortem Nen.
But there were still many things that couldn't be explained.
Post-mortem Nen wasn't that easy to appear... Did he really think that just anyone with a strong enough will could burst it out?
