Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 395 is truly wonderful.
Inside the palace, there was a deathly silence.

Blue blood splattered like ink on the chessboard and the ground.

The Ant King, expressionless, clutched his severed left arm, blood dripping continuously from the broken shoulder.

But he didn't care at all, and just stared at the wheat on the other side of the chessboard.

Xiaomai sat there blankly, looking completely lost.

Her right hand trembled slightly as she hesitantly touched the still-warm blood splattered on her cheek.

Although she is blind, she has a strong hearing.

So she heard the muffled sound of flesh tearing apart very clearly.

The sticky sensation from her fingertips made her realize what had happened, and the bewilderment on her face was gradually replaced by fear.

not far away.

With wounds on his face, Xiao Yapufu knelt on the ground with his head bowed deeply, displaying an attitude of remonstrance to the death and refusing to back down.

A few seconds ago.

He could hardly believe his eyes.

The king actually harmed himself!

At this moment, he buried his head deep in his hands, determined to persuade the king to receive immediate treatment, even at the cost of his life.

Meanwhile, a heavy shadow covered his lowered eyelids.

The unease in my heart, and the almost boiling discontent...

It all originated from the wheat on the other side of the chessboard.

It's this woman...

It had an impact on the king!
If it weren't for his extreme worry about the Ant King's injuries taking over, Shayapouf would probably have been unable to suppress the murderous intent he felt towards Komugi at this moment.

"I will not play chess if the Commander-in-Chief does not accept treatment."

Faced with the Ant King's request to continue the game, Wheat's emotions gradually calmed down, and she revealed a determined look.

Since its birth, the ant king has possessed an innate kingly will and never allows anyone to disobey his orders.

The injury on Xiao Yapu's face was caused by this.

Seeing that even wheat dared to resist like this, the ant king suddenly controlled the sharp needle at the end of its tail and pressed it directly against wheat's neck.

"Don't make me say it twice, play chess."

The cold needle pierced the wheat's skin, and a trickle of blood slowly flowed down.

Xiaomai could clearly feel the chill on her neck. Although her body trembled slightly, her tone remained resolute: "I don't want to. If you want to kill me, use the military chess set to take my life..."

"You guy...!"

The ant king seemed to have been struck at his weak spot by those words, and for a moment he was helpless.

Just then, Neferpitou arrived inside the hall and looked nervously at the missing arm of the Ant King.

Unlike the original story, Neferpitou's "circle" did not create a vacuum around the King of Ants.

Therefore, she clearly sensed the Ant King's act of cutting off his own arm.

Therefore, possessing the ability to heal and modify bodies, and out of concern for the Ant King, she immediately jumped down from the building's dome and rushed to the main hall at top speed.

The King Ant looked up and calmly ordered, "Heal me." He glanced at Neferpitou, who was slightly flustered from his excessive concern.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Neferpitou immediately put away the circle and quickly walked towards the Ant King, while using his telekinesis to materialize Toy Repairer.

Beside him, Xiao Yapufu remained kneeling with his head bowed.

He should have been overjoyed to hear that the Ant King was finally willing to accept treatment, and could finally put his worries to rest.

But behind this joy, an extremely complex emotion surged uncontrollably.

Jealousy, resentment, disappointment, unwillingness...

Even his desperate plea to the death failed to sway the king's will, but the woman before the chessboard succeeded.

What troubled him even more was that before the woman uttered the words "take her life with the military chess set," she clearly refused the king's order.

Logically, anyone who dares to defy the king should be attacked in the next instant.

However, the king's needle merely touched her neck and did not advance any further.

Xiao Yapu slowly stood up from the ground, a shadow passing through his eyes.

Despite his deep resentment, he had to admit that in just a few days, Xiaomai had already secured an important place in the king's heart.

"Should we look for an opportunity... to get rid of her?"

“No, Your Majesty, I have never been able to beat her in the game of military chess. If she dies, Your Majesty will never be able to defeat her.”

"But if we continue to let her influence the king like this..."

"Are we just going to do nothing?"

"No... now is not the time to think about these things. The most urgent task is to take over Neferpitou's duty of guarding the area around the palace. That is the most important responsibility."

In the short time it took to get up, countless struggles and weighings flashed through the mind of the sensitive and emotionally volatile Xiao Yapufu.

He wavered between killing and not killing.

But in the end, reason prevailed over the surging selfish desires.

The toy repairman hovered in mid-air, and various surgical instruments extending from its abdomen quickly and precisely began to suture the ant king's severed arm.

When using this ability, Neferpitou must stay nearby to provide a continuous supply of telekinetic energy to the toy repairer.

The energy channel between the two is her tail.

This can be considered one of the limitations of ability.

However, thanks to the fact that its tail can extend to 20 meters, Neferpitou can maintain the operation of its abilities stably even when it is at a considerable distance from the Toy Repairer, without affecting the efficiency of its healing.

In order not to disturb the ant king's enjoyment of continuing to play chess, she voluntarily retreated to the maximum distance of twenty meters and waited quietly.

This action also gave Xiaoyapf space to come over and speak in hushed tones.

"In this state, you can neither use 'circle' nor control the puppet, right?"

He lowered his eyelids and whispered to Neferbitt to confirm this.

Neferpitou also lowered his voice and replied, "Yes, the repair ability requires a continuous output of a large amount of psychic power, leaving no energy for anything else."

How long will the treatment take?

Xiao Yapuf then asked the most crucial question.

His "circle" range is far less than Neferpitou's. Although he can use the "Fly King's" ability to create clones to expand the range as much as possible, the accuracy of his surveillance is still not as good as the circle with no blind spots.

Therefore, he needs to know the time required for treatment.

"It will take at least two or three hours to complete the treatment, meow."

As Neferpitou spoke, he turned slightly to look at the Ant King, who was focused on the game.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yapu nodded towards Neferpitou.

"I will be in charge of security around the palace until the treatment is over."

After leaving those words, Xiao Yapufu walked out of the hall.

Neferpitou watched him leave, naturally having no objection to the arrangement.

But thinking that Xiao Yapufu's "roundness" is not as good as hers, I can't help but think of Youpi.

If Yupi were still alive, he could at least assist Shayapuf with his surveillance duties...

..............................

Peijing City.

The Nen applied to the chimera soldiers was removed. As a result, these soldiers, who had been fighting fearlessly just a moment ago, stood motionless like puppets with their strings cut.

The sudden turn of events left Mo Laowu and the others completely bewildered, utterly confused about what had happened.

Only Moro knew the reason behind it.

"I have made all the necessary preparations, and now..."

Moro walked towards the numerous Chimera soldiers who had suddenly stopped moving, muttering to himself, "We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate."

Everyone watched as Moro walked straight toward the halted puppet army.

Although he was somewhat puzzled by Moro's request to personally deal with the broken-string golems, he did not delve into it.

Instead, following Moro's suggestion, they all closed their seminal vesicles and entered a state of "absolute" to quickly restore their potential energy.

"The 'circle' on the other side of the palace has also disappeared..."

Mo Laowu shifted his gaze from Moro's back to the outline of the palace in the distance.

The Nen that left the puppet soldier flew towards the palace, and at the same time, it made him notice the scene of Yuan suddenly disappearing.

A glint of light flashed in Nakuru's eyes as he said, "Although I don't know what happened, this might be an opportunity."

"But……"

Xiutuo hesitated, "Could it be a trap?"

"It's possible, but the probability is low."

Gail crossed her arms and said coldly, "Based on my understanding of the Chimera Ants' habits, their direct guards would prioritize the safety of the King and are unlikely to adopt a tactic that could endanger the King."

"I agree."

Nob, who had originally planned to lead his teammates to safety, was still kneeling on the top of the building and had opened the passage leading to the four-dimensional apartment. He added in a low voice, "But we should be able to figure out what happened soon."

"Ok?"

Everyone turned to look at Norb.

Kate's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Did Pence and Pum succeed?"

"Yes."

Norb tried his best to calm his racing heart so that his voice could remain relatively normal.

Upon hearing this news, a hint of joy flashed across everyone's faces.

Once the conditions are met, Pum's ability allows him to monitor the target's actions at any time.

This is an extremely important source of intelligence.

The goal is to make it effective on both the direct guards and the Ant King, and the difficulty and risk of achieving this condition are extraordinary.

In the original story, in order to achieve this, Pum had no choice but to risk his life by infiltrating the palace...

With the help of Pence's "Boundless Bee Window," this task can be completed without any risk.

"Leave this to Moro."

Nob glanced up at Morrow, who was clearing out the chimera soldiers, then turned to his teammates beside him and gestured for them to enter the apartment.

While it's possible to call out Pum to explain the situation, it's obviously safer to use his valuable abilities inside the four-dimensional apartment than here.

Caution is the boat.

This is a decision-making habit stemming from Norb's personality.

In order to find out the situation at the palace as soon as possible, Mo Laowu and the others entered the passage leading to the four-dimensional apartment one by one.

Only Kurt and Hisoka remained.

Kurt wasn't very interested in observing the situation; he preferred to stay on-site and watch Morrow clear out the chimera soldiers.

Hisoka, on the other hand, was completely uninterested and saw no need to enter the apartment.

Meanwhile, in another dimensional room, Menchi had already begun preparing medicinal dishes to accelerate the recovery of her teammates' energy.

As Mo Laowu and his group entered the dimensional room, they saw that Pangmu had materialized a skull mermaid crystal ball, which was lying horizontally on the table.

at this time.

A bird's-eye view appeared on the crystal ball.

Neferbitt's figure can be clearly seen in the picture.

Upon seeing this, everyone quickly gathered around, focusing their attention on the scene inside the crystal ball, while also noticing the solemn expression on Pang's face.

Judging from the image in the crystal ball, Neferpitou was simply standing quietly in what appeared to be a corner of the main hall, and his expression was completely normal.

If that were all, it shouldn't have made Pum look so serious.

Thinking of this, Mo Laowu couldn't help but ask, "Pangmu, what just happened?"

"See for yourselves."

Pangm's hands hovered on either side of the crystal ball.

As she finished speaking, the image in the crystal ball changed.

More precisely, the camera slowly pans along Neferpitou's extended tail, eventually stopping diagonally above the "Toy Repairer".

It's quite interesting, actually.

Neferpitou's "Toy Repairer" is a being that manifests from the tip of her tail.

This design is essentially intended to achieve stable energy transmission during treatment, which naturally creates the constraint that "you must stay by his side at all times during treatment."

If we only consider the innate talents of chimeric ants...

Do not,
If we take Neferpitou as a reference, with her monstrous talent, it is entirely possible for her to bypass this limitation.

However, the source of these abilities actually came from the medical books she read.

It was the knowledge of the human world that gave her the opportunity and framework to conceive and create these abilities.

However, in the process of acquiring medical knowledge, the inherent limitations of human cognition also unconsciously constrained her thinking.

For example, during surgery, doctors must be present and fully focused throughout the entire process to ensure the success of the surgery.

This kind of normalized professional consensus has precisely shaped the current form and limitations of Nifedipine's therapeutic capabilities.

Conversely, those reconstructive surgeries that do not require medical ethics and compassion do not require her to perform them at close range.

All she needs to do is calmly, even coldly, issue modification instructions to the doll maker.

In any case, the existence of this constraint also means that she and the toy repairman are an inseparable whole.

As an Enhancement-type user, Pum was able to develop the rare materialization ability "Lonely Deep-Sea Fish" across different types...

At its root, it stems from a deep-seated, almost obsessive, voyeuristic desire to spy on the object of her secret crush.

This twisted and intense desire is often the most powerful fuel for Nen abilities.

Thus, the ability "Lonely Deep-Sea Fish" came into being.

Furthermore, this voyeurism harbors a deep-seated obsession with "seeing every inch of the other person's body clearly."

So when Neferpitou's tail, and even the Toy Repairer, were identified as part of her body, Pum's ability, which originally could only be fixed in one place with a bird's-eye view...

Surprisingly, it also gained the function of "moving camera".

This is a resonance between Nen abilities, and it also involves their respective vows and constraints, which is truly wonderful.

As the camera pans, look down from this angle.

You can clearly see the toy repairman stitching up the ant king's severed arm, and the ant king playing chess with wheat.

"..."

The incomprehensible situation was thus presented to everyone.

The dimensional room suddenly fell silent.

This,
Could this be a crucial opportunity that necessitates a temporary change to the action plan?
