Hunter × Hunter: The Seven Deadly Sins

No, it should be said to be a head, Captain Olsen's head.

The body below his head has long since disappeared, only one spine is still connected under his head, and in the eye sockets that are tearing open, there are still unbelievable eyes before death.

"The commander of the army is dead, and the investigation team of the Kajin Empire is over."

"But it seems that something else has come out."

Pride manipulated the beast to come to Illumi's side, looked down at the head connected to the spine on the ground, and then turned to look at the huge round cave next to it that looked like an abyss and bottomless.

"The diameter of the top of the cave is 110.05m, and the depth is unknown."

In the screen of Illumi's neuromechanical helmet, pieces of data are constantly changing, and the size of the cave can be calculated instantly, but the depth cannot be calculated.

Judging from the destruction of the surrounding ground, the body length of this unknown monster may have reached an astonishing thousand meters, no smaller than the island turtle they encountered in the dark sea.

"The tree people are all gone."

Pride stood on the back of the giant fox Nian Beast, looking around, except for the few treants killed by human hot weapons, the rest of the treants mysteriously disappeared.

"Clatter..."

As the wind increased and the rain increased, the spread of the fire slowed down and gradually died down.

"It's better to confirm for yourself. When the army retreated, it was possible to lure the treant and the unknown monster to the bay."

Yilumi made a judgment, and then controlled the giant black wolf to step forward and run towards the bay at a high speed.

"I don't think the army can escape to the bay under the pursuit of those treant monsters and that unknown monster."

Pride controlled the beast to catch up, and told Illumi his thoughts. But Yilumi didn't respond anymore, but just controlled the beast to run forward.

They headed towards the bay in a straight line, and encountered some human corpses and giant caves like before on the road from time to time. Illumi turned on emotional perception the whole time, but he didn't feel any emotional breath.

The giant Nian Beast's forward speed was very fast. It took them less than five minutes to use the giant beast to run wildly in a straight line ignoring all obstacles.

"Boom...boom..."

Two giant spirit beasts stepped heavily on the beach of the bay. Illumi looked at the bay in front of him with a gloomy expression.

I saw that the bay where the cruise ship [Boundary Breakthrough] was originally moored is now empty.

Except for an unfathomably deep circular cave with a diameter of hundreds of meters.

The gatekeeper is missing. It is possible that he was swallowed by an unknown monster together with the cruise ship, but it is more likely that he escaped by himself because he foresaw the danger in advance.

"Clatter..."

In the bay, a huge amount of seawater continuously poured into the deep cave on the beach, just like the flood discharge tunnel in the previous life, but even the largest flood discharge tunnel in the previous life was only one-fifth the size of the "flood discharge tunnel" in front of you.

"Let's go back."

Illumi's face returned to normal. Although the ship was destroyed, it didn't mean that they had no way to return to the human world. It's just much more difficult.

Yilumi and the two controlled the giant Nian Beast and set off towards the forest, darting past along the way, ignoring any obstacles and fires.

"wait……"

Suddenly, Yi Lumi spoke, and the two giant Nian Beasts stopped abruptly and stopped in the forest.

Illumi turned to look at a boulder in the forest, and Pride followed his line of sight, and both of them could clearly sense the aura behind that boulder.

"It's rare that four people survived."

Illumi and Pride controlled the giant Nian Beast and walked slowly towards the boulder.

"Huh...huh...don't make a sound."

Behind the boulder, Hercules and three experts dressed as jungle explorers hid in a dark corner next to the boulder. Their expressions were tense, their breathing was short, and their chests rose and fell rapidly, obviously after a strenuous run.

"Boom...boom..."

Feeling the vibration from the ground and the sound of heavy footsteps behind the boulder, the four of them clenched their rifles tightly. Although it was useless, it was at least somewhat comforting.

"Come out, the monsters are all dead."

Just when their spirits were tense to the extreme, a calm and flat voice sounded, making the four of them startled.

"Ah~!"

Hercules was the first to walk out from behind the huge boulder. He saw the ferocious black giant wolf and the bloodthirsty fox Nian Beast at first sight. He was so frightened that his feet slipped and he fell to the ground with a scream.

The other three stood up and pulled the trigger because of Hercules' reaction.

"Da da da……"

A man and two women held assault rifles and shot fire at the two giant Nian Beasts. The bullets hit the Nian Beasts, and there was a sound of "clinking" metal collisions. Except for a few sparks, it had no effect.

"Why, how could..."

A full magazine was emptied, and the three experts with rifles looked at the unscathed Nian Beast, feeling desperate.

"No, it's my own."

Hercules came back to his senses after the three of them had finished firing the entire magazine, and then saw Illumi and Pride standing on the back of the giant Nian Beast.

"Mr. Illumi!"

As if seeing the savior, Hercules asked hastily, with the hope of birth blooming in his eyes.

"Have you killed all those monsters? How about Mr. Yang De and others? Have you encountered other experts? And Captain Olsen, we were scattered during the retreat."

Yilumi remained expressionless, facing a lot of questions thrown by Hercules, he didn't respond, and he didn't show any displeasure at the attacks of the three of them.

"You have too many questions, go and confirm it yourself."

Yilumi didn't want to say more, let alone answer them one by one. A large number of black lines were shot out from Nian Beast's body, wrapping around the waist of the four people, placing them on Nian Beast's back and fixing them.

"The only thing I'm sure of is that there are only four of you in the investigation team of thousands of people."

After Yilu's riddle was over, before the four of them could open their mouths, the giant black wolf turned into a black streamer and shuttled through the forest with a "boom". Pride and his Nian Beast followed closely behind.

Six minutes later, Illumi and Pride caught up with Kim Bradley and Billande who were on their way.

"These are the only survivors?"

Biyangde frowned slightly as he looked at the two men and two women who were put down from the back of the giant Nian Beast by Yilumi. This has just begun, and the thousand-member investigation team of the Kajin Empire was wiped out.

Dark Continent...

"Mr. Bijand."

At this time, Hercules was covered in blood and mud all over his body, and he was in a state of embarrassment, and he no longer had the confidence he had before.

"What happened to them?"

Hercules pointed to the three hunters behind Billand who were being carried by his own people, and asked with a worried face.

"They? They just fell into a coma because of the pollen, and they will wake up after a while."

Bi Yangde glanced at it casually, and the three people who were unconscious were the weaker ones in the fifteen-member hunter team, and their strengths were not in combat or physical fitness, but in other aspects.

"How, are all those monsters dead?"

Bijande looked at Illumi and Pride standing on the back of the giant wolf, and asked with a frown.

"They're all dead, but we didn't do it. It was killed by some unknown huge monster."

Illumi jumped off the back of the beast, and the giant black wolf turned into countless black lines and floated in the air, as did Pride on the other side.

According to their speculation along the way, the huge unknown monster is likely to specifically pick a big target, and it doesn't matter whether it is a living body or not.

"A huge unknown monster? How big is it?"

"It is conservatively estimated that the body length can reach thousands of meters."

Biyangde frowned again. He thought that those treants appearing in groups would be very troublesome, but he didn't expect to learn from Yilu Mi that a creature with an even more outrageous size, just like the islands encountered in the dark sea. Like a turtle.

"That, the unknown monster you are talking about, is it the one that came out of the ground..."

"Have you seen it?"

The eyes of Yilumi and Biyangde's group immediately turned on the speaker. The other party was a 30-year-old man wearing glasses, who belonged to the youngest group among the 50-member team of experts.

"Who are you?"

Biyang De asked, the man in glasses was relieved, the pressure on him suddenly increased when all eyes were on him just now.

"I'm Isaac Rodriguez, a geomorphologist. My mission here this time is mainly to survey the magnetic field strength and topographical appearance of the Dark Continent."

"The huge unknown monster you mentioned earlier should be the same one I saw."

"At that time, the five helicopters of the aviation brigade crashed one by one, and the army was also massacred by the tree monsters. The monster suddenly appeared from the ground and devoured the tree monsters who were massacring the army soldiers one by one. "

"According to my speculation, that monster should be an invertebrate in the annelid phylum that can move in underground rock formations, but its size is too huge."

While Isaac was speaking, his arms trembled and he pushed up and down his glasses, apparently he was quite frightened by that monster.

"However, thanks to it we managed to survive."

Another expert also said that at that time they were slaughtered by treant monsters. If this unknown monster did not appear suddenly, even the four of them would have died.

"But also thanks to it, our boat is gone."

But at this time, Yilumi suddenly spoke a sentence that made everyone's expressions change suddenly.

"The boat is gone? What do you mean!?"

Sergio looked ugly, Illumi glanced at him, and said in a cold voice.

"All you need to know is that there is no means of transportation to return to the human world. In the next exploration, you should make a choice whether to advance or withdraw."

Yilu finished his riddle, and without waiting for them to respond, he directly ordered the Avengers to continue walking towards the interior of the Dark Continent, leaving Billand and Hercules staring at each other.

Illumi doesn't care what they decide, he's going to the Swamp of Hell to find longevity food, bring it back to the company for research, maybe he can dig out the secret.
