I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

For example, at this very moment, with a thought, Jing Yang can sense the location of Wu Er on the other side of the ocean, as well as the location of the Yin Beast Purple Ape, who has now returned to another city after losing its position as the leader.

But the stars on Shizuku and Kurapika's bodies remained clean.

This also means that if they are not within Jingyang's line of sight, Jingyang will not be able to sense the dormant star markers on them.

Unless they are accidentally injured, forcibly activating the star's self-healing function.

During the self-healing process, Jingyang will be able to clearly sense the presence of the star mark on his body and determine its location.

The star on Kurapika's chest remained dormant. Normally, no matter how focused Jingyang was, he wouldn't sense Kurapika if he wasn't in his sight.

However, Kurapika isn't stupid. If he were in dire straits and completely cut off from the outside world, he would definitely activate the self-healing function of the star on his hand to remind Jingyang, the star's owner...

With this in mind, Jingyang adjusted his state and waited attentively for the possible "signal" from the star.

"Last night when I used the ring's moon mark to transmit my voice, that kid looked like he was about to die... No matter how stubborn he is, he wouldn't refuse to call for help when things got to that point, would he?"

"Got it!"

After waiting and observing intently for about half an hour, Jingyang keenly grasped the signal of a star that suddenly appeared in his consciousness.

It is the third star mark after Wu Er and the Yin Beast.

"The sensation is too faint. If it weren't for my increased control over Qi in recent days, I really wouldn't be able to detect this slight fluctuation in Qi."

This faint feeling was very similar to the feeling at the end of last night's Moonbeam communication, when Kurapika's cries for help gradually faded and became blurred.

Because the star marker's sensing was too weak, Jingyang couldn't even lock onto its location, let alone change the operation method to activate it and project his consciousness onto it.

As Jingyang thought this, he glanced at the time; it was almost noon.

"Well, maybe he already used this method to call for help during the 10 days he's been missing?"

Jingyang suddenly realized this.

Kurapika wasn't so foolish as to only realize the need to activate the star when he was in dire straits...

It is highly likely that, in the past 10 days, I have indeed vaguely sensed the sudden appearance of star-shaped features other than Wu Er.

But because the signal was weak, I ignored it...?

Jingyang felt ashamed inwardly.

Before the faint star marker disappeared, Jingyang could barely discern its general direction.

……

Kurapika isn't made of iron; he's made of flesh and blood. He can't keep himself online 24/7 by repeatedly injuring himself to activate the star and release the signal.

Thinking back to Kurapika's near-death state during the Moon Standard exchange last night...

Could it be that he's been cutting himself to bleed out his own flesh to activate the star rating for the past 10 days?

Jingyang couldn't help but scratch the back of his head. After Xiaodi bought the first ticket for the "route", he waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about the rest when we get there. Let's go first."

The little droplet moved with ease.

Oushi followed them with a worried expression.

--------

On the airship, Jingyang held his breath, waiting for Kurapika's distress signal, which could appear at any moment.

Before it even landed, another faint satellite signal came through.

Jingyang opened his eyes, looked at Xiaodi, and shook his head.

The signal was still too weak and unpredictable; the only certainty was that they were flying in the right direction.

Kurapika is somewhere ahead of this route.

Xiao Di jots down the current time.

Around 3pm.

It seems that Kurapika activates the self-healing function of the star mark every 3 hours, sending a signal to the outside world.

Jingyang and Xiaodi exchanged a glance, both having the same guess.

Next, we just need to wait another 3 hours. If another satellite signal is received by 6 p.m., then it will be absolutely certain.

—Absolutely certain.

After disembarking from the airship, Jingyang did not leave the airport waiting hall. When the huge clock on the hall wall reached 6 o'clock, a faint signal of a star was indeed received.

Xiao Di looked at Jing Yang.

Jingyang nodded and said, "It's still far, even outside of this city. Let's buy tickets. What's the next stop?"

Xiao Di went to buy tickets according to the flight route.

Jingyang then sat on the bench and began to close his eyes to rest.

The next time the star signal arrives, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will be at 9 PM, midnight, 3 AM, 6 AM, and 9 AM the next day, then at noon, and then again like today.

The trapped Kurapika is probably doing the same thing he is doing now: closing his eyes to rest for a while, releasing a star signal every 3 hours, minimizing the consumption of his body's energy, and taking short breaks frequently.

Once on the next airship, Jingyang stopped wasting energy waiting for the star marker to appear and sat down on a large, soft chair, covered himself with a thin blanket, put on an eye mask, and rested.

Ou Si, sitting opposite Jing Yang with a worried expression, looked at him in surprise as he fell asleep almost instantly.

With the star on his body, Jingyang has almost complete control over his body.

The star cannot control thoughts, but it can control the brain, making drowsiness surge. After Jingyang stopped resisting, he naturally fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Without realizing it, Jingyang's head tilted onto Xiaodi's shoulder. Xiaodi remained still, quietly looking at an old book in her hands.

When the three hours were up, there was no need for an alarm clock; the star mark on the back of Jingyang's neck was the best alarm clock, forcibly opening his eyes.

Jingyang woke up, dispelling his drowsiness in one second, getting into the zone in another second, and then, as expected, Kurapika's star icon arrived as scheduled.

Still further ahead.

It was already dark when the airship landed.

The night sky was filled with dim stars. Ao Si asked wearily, "How was it?"

He followed along the whole time and naturally noticed something. Although he didn't know exactly what method Chin Genko used, he seemed to be able to sense Kurapika.

He didn't ask any more questions. Nen abilities are a personal secret, and it wouldn't be good to inquire about them rashly.

Xiao Di glanced at her wrist; it was 8:32 PM.

Half an hour later, a new star signal will come from Kurapika.

"Let's go get something to eat first," Jingyang said. He had been resting every three hours along the way, and he showed no signs of fatigue.

In a roadside snack shop on a bustling street, Ou Si wolfed down his food while Xiao Di ate slowly and carefully, while Jing Yang tried to trigger the moon mark on his finger while eating.

It's nighttime now, so the moon marker's signal should be at its maximum.

A faint, moon-like sensation came through, and it was Kurapika's voice, sounding even more weary: "Many people have died...another dimension...Nen ability..."

"Conserve your energy." Jing Yang said briefly, "You did a great job. I'm using the star signal you released to find you. Xiao Di and I are on our way and will find you soon. Don't die!"

Kurapika seemed to say something, but his voice was too muffled at the end, and the transmission of the Moon Mark ended.

If we can chat, we can chat; if we can't, we don't. Why cut off the signal halfway through a conversation?

Jingyang looked up at the sky in frustration—but now, in the snack shop, all he could see were the light tubes on the ceiling and the flying insects circling around them; he couldn't see the starry night sky.

However, it wasn't a complete loss.

Kurapika is indeed in a different dimension created by his Nen ability.

No wonder the position of the star marker is so unclear.

However, even Nen abilities from another dimension cannot completely escape the real material world.

Even Nob's awesome "Four-Dimensional Apartment" needs to leave entrances and exits in the real world as coordinates.

The so-called patriarch sacrificed his followers and even his own Nen abilities to trap Kurapika in that alternate dimension, which must have a target somewhere—and somewhere along this route.

At 9 p.m., the satellite signal came again, this time the signal was a little clearer.

"Still ahead, we're getting closer." Jing Yang wiped his mouth and stood up. "Let's go!"

……

As night fell, the airship, its lights shimmering, departed from the airport.

Jingyang and his two companions continued their journey along the straight route on the map, heading towards the northern coast of the mainland.

At 9 a.m. on the fourth day, Kurapika's star signal arrived on time. Jingyang suddenly stood up from his seat on the airship and rushed to the porthole to look at the clouds flying past outside.

Below the clouds, distant mountains rise.

"Little Di..." Jing Yang was about to speak when Ou Si, who had walked up behind him, said, "That's the Kamwal Mountains. Is it there?"

“Right there,” Jingyang said.

Xiao Di said, "This airship will probably take another hour or so to land..."

Jingyang, standing behind the porthole, was speechless.

Whoosh, the large airship streaked across the sky, leaving the densely forested Kamwal Mountains further and further behind.

Chapter 164 The Beast Clan

As soon as the airship landed at the airport, Aus made a phone call. Not long after, an SUV sped to the intersection, made a U-turn, and stopped in front of Jingyang and the other two.

The car window rolled down, revealing a sultry middle-aged female driver. She chewed bubble gum, glanced at the three of them, and then fixed her gaze on the Audi.

Ao Si tossed over a roll of money, and the female driver exclaimed, "Why do you need so much money to rent a car?"

“I bought it,” Ou Si said. “I have urgent business to attend to at Kamavol. You can get out now. Is there enough gas?”

“You don’t need to buy that much! Kamal? What’s the point of going to that godforsaken and dangerous mountain? The tank is full, and there’s another can in the trunk. There are gas stations along the way.” The female driver got out of the car with the money, in a good mood, and said with a smile, “Professional hunters are so generous, thanks. This young man looks really nice, and this young lady is nice too. Is she your child, your friend, or your friend’s child?”

Ousi said sincerely, "He's the owner of the Sky Arena. He could crush your head with a single finger. You'd better be careful."

Jingyang grabbed Xiaodi's wrist and glanced at the time.

At 10:22 a.m., there was still an hour and a half until the next Kurapika star signal.
