Chapter 396 - Just Run Away

Kite always had a bad feeling.

He knew that the Chimera Ants had a strong appetite and also had the characteristics of eating and reproducing.

If that Chimera Ant really has such a huge body…

"Ordinary animals alone cannot satisfy its appetite."

"It will sooner or later target humans!"

This is very likely to happen.

It is also the experience he has accumulated from all these years of biological research.

If there are really mutant species over two meters long, especially creatures like Chimera Ants.

In order to satisfy their appetite, they will definitely attack small towns or villages.

And Kite's worries are reasonable.

Because… things really happened as he thought.

"Oh? You can communicate in normal language, right?"

Looking at the figure kneeling on one knee in front of her, which has eagle wings but a distinctly human face, as he pledges allegiance to her and nods in response

The Chimera Ant Queen was very satisfied.

Just before, the first batch of chimera Chimera Ant soldiers she gave birth to successfully brought her back two new species that seemed to be standing while walking.

That was the best food she had ever eaten, and it was also very nutritious.

It was simply the best food supplement.

"And it even has wisdom, and its appearance is much better than the first batch…"

"I need more of this kind of food!!"

After making up her mind, the Chimera Ant Queen directly issued an order: "From today on, you are the commander of the first squadron. Lead all soldiers to go out immediately!"

"Catch all these creatures called humans with high nutritional value!"

"Yes!"

Under the moonlight, the first Chimera Ant with human genes solemnly responded to the Queen's order.

It summoned the army of Chimera Ants, which had been born by the Queen in recent days, and flew to the outside world.

And the direction they went was the villages in the Neo-Green Life (NGL) Autonomous Region.

At the same time, in order to better capture those foods and absorb nutrients in time, the Chimera Ant Queen also began to migrate constantly, looking for a satisfactory nest.

During the migration, she kept eating the delicious food brought to her by the Chimera Ant soldiers led by Chimera Ant with eagle wings.

This also led to a sharp increase in the number of Chimera Ant soldiers, and the quality was not low!!

Soon, the Chimera Ant Queen chose a place to live in a very suitable high cliff near the water source.

Then she produced a large number of worker ants, and they built the nest at an astonishing speed!!

In the days to come, the Chimera Ant Queen will live in this fortress until she dies.

At the same time, the Chimera Ant with eagle wings brought back more and more humans, making the Chimera Ant Queen also enjoy the feast.

More and more Chimera Ant soldiers were born by her.

And they were all high-quality soldiers with human genes, human appearance, and high intelligence!

The Chimera Ant Queen used these high-quality soldiers as Squadron Leaders one by one, commanding the other soldiers below. 

The entire Chimera Ant team became unprecedentedly strong!!

In such a team, the Chimera Ants gradually developed their own personalities and ideas.

For example…

"Do you want to have a competition?!"

The newly born Squadron Leader, who looked like a crocodile, got into a dispute with Chimera Ant with eagle wings, who was about to leave.

"Let's see which squadron would bring back more humans!"

The Chimera Ant with eagle wings was not interested in this at all.

However, considering that doing so would increase the amount of food, Her Majesty the Queen would definitely be very happy to get more food.

The Chimera Ant with eagle wings thought about it and agreed.

His absolute loyalty to the Chimera Ant Queen was seen not only by the Chimera Ant, who looked like a crocodile but also by all the other Squadron Leaders.

The Chimera Ant with eagle wings inherited the DNA of a nine-year-old human child named Kurt.

He swore allegiance to Her Majesty, the Queen, and protected her like protecting his sister and family.

This is something engraved in his genes, and there is no way to change it.

The Chimera Ant with eagle wings faithfully carried out the Queen's orders.

On the other hand, Kite and his group were getting closer and closer to the Neo-Green Life (NGL) Autonomous Region.

The way to get here from the Kakin Empire is to take an airship to the Republic of Rokario next door.

Then, walk or ride a horse to the border of the Neo-Green Life (NGL) Autonomous Region.

Then, after passing the immigration inspection, they can enter the country.

"But recently, the reputation of Neo-Green Life (NGL) Autonomous Region is very bad outside."

The team members mentioned a unique product that is currently popular in the outside world.

"It is an oral anesthetic called D², and the main raw material of the anesthetic, the Bira tree, 80% of which lives in the territory of Neo-Green Life (NGL) Autonomous Region."

"But these are all rumors. After all, if you rashly enter this closed country to conduct an investigation, you will be arrested and sentenced to death by the local authorities."

In addition to Kite and others, there are some familiar faces who have heard similar things.

"There are giant insects, right?!"

Pokkle, who happened to be near this country and was investigating and studying insect species, was in the same batch of qualified professional hunters as Gon and others, who also got the news.

He couldn't help but become interested.

"Well, it seems that another reporter has appeared in the Neo-Green Life (NGL) Autonomous Region recently.outside."

His fellow team said truthfully: "This is different from the journalist who was arrested and executed in 1987 for illegally sneaking in with camera equipment."

"Judging from the recordings he left before his death, he must have been attacked by some unknown creature."

"He mentioned monsters, big bugs, and the like…"

At this point, Pokkle, who was determined to become a Beast Hunter, could not sit still.

"Buy tickets now and go to the Neo-Green Life (NGL) Autonomous Region!!"

He confidently changed their itinerary and investigation plan.

Naturally, Pokkle's team members had no objections.

On the other hand, Kite.

"Are you sure you want to go with me?"

Before leaving, Kite asked Gon and Killua a final question.

"I know nothing about this strange country, and there may be natural filth such as monopoly trading."

"And the Chimera Ant Queen has probably given birth to a large number of giant Chimera Ants."

"Maybe they have already started to capture humans."

"If I need to save people, I won't be able to get out of my way to help you."

"So, if you want to follow, you can only protect yourself."

"This is also the premise for me to take you with me."

Kite gave the two a final reminder.

Gon simply nodded: "Well, I know."

He said he understood, but he still wanted to follow.

"No problem."

Killua also smiled confidently: "We have the means to protect ourselves!"

"That's good."

Kite nodded slightly, and he turned and left: "But there is one more thing."

"If you see me in danger, don't worry about me; just run away. Do you hear me?"

Gon and Killua were silent at the same time.

The two looked at Kite's back, and the smiles on their faces slowly faded away.
