Before the bone blade swung, the dead man with the playing card stuck in his forehead opened his mouth, and a waiting worm crawled out of his tongue... As soon as Hisoka was hit by the blood blade, the worm would immediately burrow into his body.
At the critical moment, the two large hands that had been tightly holding Hisoka suddenly opened on their own, and Hisoka bent down instantly, dodging the fatal blow to his head.
At the same time, Oboro, as fierce as a tiger, flashed behind the group.
Divine Fist!
The force of the punch sent shockwaves through the chest cavity of a corpse.
Then, a few more punches followed, and in the instant the flesh exploded, he grabbed the two insects from the air with his palm, crushed them to death with his fingertips.
Hisoka has also begun his counterattack…
This time, Oboro's ability is a natural skill. He has configured rune points that can significantly enhance his strength, namely Precision and Domination, and his summoner spells are Flash and Heal.
The two attacked together, and the corpses were no match for them, and were quickly destroyed.
The battle is over.
Even if Oboro doesn't interfere, Hisoka can still escape...
During the beating, this guy activated his ability and performed emergency 'treatment'.
Oboro glanced at Hisoka, who was covered in wounds, and refrained from mocking him again.
His silence caused an unnatural expression to appear on Hisoka's face for the first time. He stuck out his tongue and licked the blood flowing from the wound on his face. "After knowing each other for so long... I only just realized..."
"You're quite cunning..."
"It was your own carelessness."
He said in a low voice.
Strictly speaking, it wasn't carelessness, but rather Hisoka missing 'information' and failing to analyze the fact that the insects were evolving.
Treatment initiated.
A green light, full of vitality, rose from Oboro's body, but Hisoka was not enveloped by the light.
Oboro frowned slightly; he wanted to treat Hisoka.
It didn't work...
This means that no player was identified as being on the same team.
This guy…
Oboro understood that Hisoka had always harbored some kind of 'purpose' towards her, and even though he hadn't shown any murderous intent or hostility at the moment, he was still being rejected by the rules.
With that thought in mind, he walked away.
Although Hisoka is injured, he seems to be able to move around and is not in serious condition.
The three of them moved on.
After passing the lake, the landscape turned into a lush, green hilly area with less complex terrain and varying slopes... Wildflowers grew all around, and there were even some cultivated fields. Clearly, they had entered the Botswana people's living area.
We are getting closer and closer to the tribal settlement.
Furthermore, they did not encounter any more parasitic species.
“Those six Nen users are the Botswana tribe’s biggest trump card at their garrison…” Oboro thought.
The East Godot army also has Nen users, but their primary role is suppressing the enemy with firearms, and the number of Nen users they deploy is relatively limited. Even those who are parasitized... may have been intentionally driven to the front lines, like the Enhancement-type man we saw earlier...
The tribe's goal is the king.
The Botswana people would certainly prioritize killing the participants first.
“Several hours have passed since we entered the mountains... It’s almost dark. The battlefield, which starts from the Sawtooth Mountains and covers the surrounding area... must contain some parasites controlled by the Bozwa tribe, including some that are relatively close by... In other words, although we caught them off guard and created a sudden danger... they should have been able to come to our aid. Why... didn’t they?”
"It seems they let us into their territory because they think there are only three of us and we're not a big threat?"
He was lost in thought.
Looking up, I saw that the sky was already lit up with starlight, and the sun had sunk below the horizon.
He was on edge...
I have a vague feeling... something's not right.
In any case, their surprise attack was successful.
We're almost at the Botswana's stronghold...
Inside the woodland, there were many stones piled up by human hands... in patches, clearly a product of some kind of tribal culture.
The wind is picking up...
The branches and leaves in the forest trembled and rustled.
Long stopped in his tracks. Directly in front of him, where the trees no longer provided cover, appeared a bare hill, resembling a gigantic rock villa. The hill had been hollowed out, revealing numerous caves, giving it a honeycomb-like appearance.
Centered around the hill, surrounded by a vast plain... full of life, with many stone houses and some carved stone statues.
It's clear that this place was once lush with green grass and beautiful scenery, a rare paradise.
However, the ground is now devoid of any green vegetation, riddled with potholes, and bears the marks of war.
Even many caves on the mountain have collapsed.
Some nearby stone houses and statues have also suffered varying degrees of damage.
The scene was in a mess.
Arrived.
This is the tribe inhabited by the Botswana people.
"nobody?"
Kaki looked around in surprise.
Could it be that the Botswana man who just died was the last one?
"They're probably hiding in these cave dwellings... It's quite obvious... they don't welcome us."
Hisoka's gaze swept over the dense holes carved into the mountainside, and he gave his answer.
"They didn't show up, they weren't on guard... the door was wide open..."
Long's eyelids twitched.
The pressure has increased dramatically.
"Being complacent and fearless... seems a bit tricky..."
The Botswana people's attitude towards them... gave Oboro a bad feeling.
81. Negotiations failed
Led by Oboro, the three entered the cave at the bottom of the mountain. Inside, they found it decorated and furnished like a dwelling, with a large interior space... including a living room and bedrooms. The entire mountain resembled a multi-story building, and these neatly arranged caves were the houses, while others were used for storage.
However, the cave they entered had been damaged... the tables and chairs inside were broken and there was bloodstains.
“Captain, look…” Kaki suddenly pointed to a wall and reminded him.
Looking over, he realized it was a mural.
The Botswana people seem to have a great love for carving... There are also many small and exquisite stone statues inside the house.
The mural is divided into several parts. The first one shows a group of small figures kneeling in front of a giant, devoutly praying and worshipping.
The second image shows a small person lifting up their fellow human beings and throwing them into the giant's open mouth.
The third image shows humans the size of ants and various animals that suddenly appear, celebrating... like some kind of grand festival, while the giant's belly is already bulging.
The fourth image shows the giant giving birth... accompanied by liquid, a bunch of egg-like things were born. It is worth noting that all the animals at the celebration, including humans, died, and their deaths were varied... Only five or six humans remained, happily holding several round egg embryos.
Oboro's gaze focused on the giant, and he discovered that although the giant looked very human, it had no facial features... it was a faceless being.
Moreover, in the second painting, the giant with his mouth wide open has a mouth full of sharp teeth... not in two rows, but in circles, like mouthparts.
Most likely, they are not species from the human world, let alone humans.
"The Dark Continent, huh..."
Lonely thought of it.
Both the Khulta and Botswana people seem to like using images or texts to record or pass on their origins... However, compared to the nature-loving Khulta, the Botswana people give off a somewhat sinister vibe.
The scenes depicted in several murals are not set in a natural environment, but rather underground or in a cave. There are no flowers or plants, but instead torches are depicted to indicate that everything takes place in a relatively dark environment.
It is exactly the same environment as the current living environment of the Botswana people.
They visited several more caves and found that each cave had murals with similar content.
“Let’s go, our master is waiting for us inside…” Hisoka said, standing in front of a cave entrance leading into the interior of the mountain.
Inside each cave dwelling, besides being the houses inhabited by the Botswana people, there is also a deep, dark tunnel at the very back, sharing characteristics with beehives and anthills. The passage is extremely narrow, allowing only one person to walk at a time, and it is difficult for two people to walk side by side... Hisoka is at the front, while Oboro is at the rear.
After going several hundred meters deeper, the three came to an intersection, where three passages leading in different directions appeared in front of them.
"What should we do? Should we break up?"
Kagi glanced at Oboro.
The interior of this mountain appears to be extremely complex, like a maze.
After observing for a while, Long found nothing mysterious about it.
"These passages ultimately lead to a place... but the routes differ, some longer, some shorter," Oboro deduced. "There should be some mechanisms... that only the Botswana people can discern..."
"Trying to scatter us?"
Kaki chimed in, "Still a different route, with men lying in ambush?"
"I choose this side..."
At that moment, Hisoka suddenly walked towards the leftmost cave entrance.
"If the captain's judgment is correct, it would be better for the three of us to stay together," Kaki suggested.
However, Hisoka ignored his words and turned to look at Oboro, "Kill all the Botswana people, and you can get that 'thing'...right?"
"Ah."
