Chapter 123 The Missing Villager
Ailiji and his group did not smuggle themselves ashore by land, but by sea.
The boat soon landed at the foot of a desert.
Looking at the Gobi Desert in front of him, Ino shook his head helplessly and said, "Ailiji, this is definitely not an ideal landing site."
"But you can't deny that it's absolutely safe here," Eligi said with a smile. He then took all the equipment that these people had brought and, to the astonishment of Ino and the other two, began to walk horizontally upwards.
This is the basic skill for walking on water and climbing trees in Konoha. It can also be used to transform Nen. Transmutation-type Nen abilities have a lot of plasticity.
It's not a difficult thing to mold a Transmutation-type Nen ability into something sticky.
As for treading water, this involves the Nen ability of the Emission type.
These are two different systems of Nen, but they share the same characteristic: they are somewhat far removed from the Specialty system.
Therefore, it is quite difficult for Ailiji to cultivate.
But in the end, it still allowed Eligi to cultivate this very convenient ability.
In this way, Aliji and his group first got Ino and the others' equipment up the cliff, and then used a climbing carabiner to bring Ino up.
The ships were located just below the cliff.
"Ha, Aliji, how did you manage to walk across the Gobi Desert just now?" Ino and the others were all very curious.
"It's an ability that everyone has, but it's very difficult to activate. So, Ino, do you want to give it a try?" Eligi said.
Although knowledge of Nen abilities is forbidden to be disseminated, it is possible to teach someone who is talented, who might awaken an unexpected ability.
However, Eligi will not use the method of quickly awakening Nen to help Ino; he will only teach her the more patient and orthodox method of awakening Nen.
Few people have the patience to awaken their mind through orthodox methods, because those who are not naturally gifted may need six months of daily meditation.
If you do other things during the process, the time will be extended indefinitely, so Nen ability is not so easy to activate.
"Oh, I'm very interested in this. We can discuss it sometime, Eligi." Ino has a high level of curiosity about new things, which is why she organized her friends to smuggle themselves to NGL for an adventure.
"That's no problem at all," Eligi said without refusing.
And so, the group chatted and packed their luggage, and before they knew it, it was noon.
Starting a fire at this time would easily attract attention, so the group simply ate some bread and water, rested for half an hour, and then set off again.
Along the way, the people of Ailiji encountered many wild animals. It's no wonder it's a nature reserve; you can find small animals that are very difficult to encounter outside.
Ino and his friends were animal photography enthusiasts, so naturally they wouldn't miss these small animals roaming around.
Therefore, the group did not travel very fast.
Just before sunset, after walking less than ten kilometers, we started camping.
Ailiji was in charge of starting the fire. Without a fire at night, it would be easy to attract wild animals, which would be troublesome.
At the fire pit, Ino asked Eligi about the period when he had Nen abilities.
Ailiji didn't hide anything, but he also didn't reveal too much knowledge that you only learn after you get started.
"Nian is actually the qi in the human body. This may sound a bit abstract. Look, this is a glass of water. When you pour it into your palm, doesn't a mist come out?" Ailiji demonstrated.
It's early March now, so the temperature is still quite pleasant. Water poured onto your palm won't actually create a mist unless it's hot water.
However, this was not a difficult thing for Ellige.
Sure enough, a cloud of water mist appeared and disappeared in Ailiji's hand, giving the impression of magic, which was quite magical.
Seeing this, Ino followed suit, pouring a little water into his palm. He then stared wide-eyed at the water in his hand, but after a while, he saw no change in the water.
Ino looked at Eligi with some doubt, which made Eligi laugh loudly: "Ino, you haven't mastered this power yet, so naturally you can't do it."
"If you want to learn, you should start by sensing the Qi. Begin by sensing the Qi in your hands. Once you can sense the presence of Qi, try transferring it from your left hand to your right hand, and then from your right hand back to your left hand."
"Repeat this process until you are familiar with it, then I will teach you the next step."
"This, this is too difficult," Ino shook her head.
Seeing this, Eligi wasn't surprised, guessing that after a while, Ino would forget about Nian because of her busy work.
Thus, Eligi and his group, along with Ino, explored the NGL for several days.
On this day, Ailiji and his group saw a village on a hilltop. After discussing it, they decided to go down and talk to the villagers, and exchange some supplies for them.
However, upon entering the village, the group discovered some strange things.
"Where is everyone here? Why can't I see a single person?" Ino asked, feeling a little strange.
Seeing this phenomenon, Ailiji felt a deep sense of unease. It was only March, and the chimeric ants had already begun preying on humans.
If I remember correctly, chimeric queen ants eat fish and shrimp first, then birds and wild animals, and finally a group of soldier queen ants begin to prey on humans.
"What is that?" Ino suddenly pointed into the distance and saw a creature with a humanoid shrimp head moving around in the village.
"Could it be a magical beast?" Ino said excitedly. He knew about the existence of magical beasts, but because they were too dangerous, there were very few magical beast works in the Hunter world.
v5 also intentionally reduced the presence of Warcraft, so these kinds of works are usually subject to restrictions on traffic.
Ailiji only glanced at it and realized that things might be beyond his expectations. The chimeric ants seemed to be reproducing much faster than he had imagined, and soldier ants had appeared so quickly.
The structure of chimeric ants is very clear, and their hierarchy is very difficult to cross; everything is predetermined at birth.
The queen ant is naturally the most powerful among chimeric ants, and in fact, that is indeed the case.
After the Ant King, there are three direct guards. These three guards are also very powerful and require several skilled Nen users to restrain them.
After the direct guards comes the division commander, who is also very powerful and can fight the members of the Phantom Troupe to a standstill.
After the division commander comes the platoon leader, and under the platoon leader are subordinates such as soldier ants.
This is the architecture of the chimeric ant.
"Be careful, the villagers' disappearance might be related to these monsters. Everyone, get behind me." Eligi wasn't as excited as Ino.
