Jing Yang released his grip and muttered to himself, "Now, maybe he can withstand any amount of death energy?"
Dude, you now have a control panel!
The kind where you can add points!
From now on, bring on the death aura, I promise I won't resist. I don't kill for the sake of death aura, but people die every day in this world, and you can't blame someone else's death on me, can you?
Xiao Di rubbed her slightly flushed cheeks, lost in thought.
"Hmm?" Jing Yang looked at her warily. Would this girl start killing people on sight because of what he said?
"Hmm?" Xiao Di looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"It's okay." Jingyang patted Xiaodi's shoulder and said earnestly, "Just be yourself."
"Oh?" Little Drop still didn't quite understand.
Jingyang smiled and asked, "Help me change my clothes."
The clothes he's wearing now are tattered and worn from the forced growth of his body, making them quite inconvenient.
Xiao Di immediately materialized a bulging-eyed fish and released a set of Jing Yang's clean clothes from among the many spare supplies stored within.
Jingyang casually ripped off his tattered clothes and began to change naked. Xiaodi noticed something unusual on his chest and pointed it out.
He was wearing a cropped T-shirt, and when he looked down, he saw several gray cracks on the slightly left side of his chest, rotating counterclockwise.
He touched it and gently scratched it. "I don't feel anything. It doesn't hurt or itch."
Xiao Di nodded and helped him pull off his T-shirt and put it on.
"We can talk about that later." Jingyang gazed at the sea, let out a soft breath, took Xiaodi's little hand, and happily turned back. "Come on, let's see what they're doing. After all this time, have they finally found a way to leave yet..."
……
Wow!
Black waves crashed against the deserted rocks, splashing spray onto the two people on the shore.
Green blood dripped from Yang Dequan's fist.
At his feet was a large ant with one foreleg and one hind leg severed. It had been beaten and was covered in green blood, but it was still alive, hissing at Yang De and Paliston, who was examining its body.
Paliston stood up, rested his chin on his hand, and pondered, "It's an ant, but that's not necessarily accurate. It has a head that looks like an ant, but its body and limbs are more like those of a tiger-like beast, yet its body is covered in hard scales... I remember a type of ant..."
“Chimera ant.” By Yangde wiped the green blood from his fist.
“Yes,” Paliston agreed, “but this one is way too big. As far as I know, chimeric ants are only the size of normal ants.”
Bi Yangde smiled slightly, "Everything in the Dark Continent is a little bigger than what we have here."
"I see……"
Paliston suddenly realized, kicking the Chimera Ant that was baring its teeth at him in the green pool of blood. "This is just a male, the Chimera Ant King. If the giant Chimera Ants on the Dark Continent are similar to those here, the King should be accompanied by..."
"Guards." As Bjorn spoke, three dark figures sped towards them from the sea behind them.
Chapter 201 A Moment's Intention
Jingyang and Xiaodi found Kurapika and Kate at the beach next door.
Kate hung up the phone. "Still no signal. We'll have to figure out how to get out ourselves."
Kurapika seemed to have taken a stroll around the area before saying, "Whether before or now, I haven't found the 'divine' symbol on any of these islands—except for that arrow." He pointed to the sky, now only filled with white clouds, "The arrow has flown away, and these islands are just ordinary islands, no longer capable of teleporting us back."
“Then we’ll have to figure it out ourselves.” Xiao Di repeated. She was about to go find some trees to use as materials when she suddenly remembered something, stopped, and asked the others curiously, “Did you make any vows to the black mist before?”
Kate said, "I can materialize air into a raft, but I can only materialize it once."
Kurapika was slightly surprised upon hearing this and replied, "The oath I made allows me to materialize my aura into a small boat, but it can only be materialized once."
He pointed to the inner coastline, where the small boat he had conjured was swaying with the waves. "I haven't deactivated it yet, so it's still usable."
Then he looked at Kate.
Kate said, "Mine won't work. I have another condition: it can only be used between the islands here."
"Isn't that unnecessary?" Kurapika asked in surprise. "The restriction that can only be used once in a lifetime is already enough."
Kate didn't say anything.
Kurapika looked at Jingyang.
Jing Yang said, "Mine is useless too. I swore that I could control the water here..." He walked to the seaside and made a gesture as if to release his Nen energy into the seawater, but then withdrew it and laughed, "When I made the oath, the definition of the so-called island in my mind was that strange island shrouded in black mist, not what it looks like now. So, whatever, it won't work no matter what, I can't use it if I leave this sea area."
Just in case, they built a second raft.
The people present were all skilled in Nen abilities. They split up and each punch represented a tree, and they quickly gathered enough wood.
Several thick tree trunks, their tops and bottoms removed, were piled on the ground.
Cutting wood wasn't difficult for them either. Not to mention weapons like Xiao Di's Nen chainsaw, Jing Yang could even make a thin piece of paper as sharp as a knife by wrapping it with Nen and using "Zhou"... However, this move consumed a lot of Nen and was mentally taxing...
“I’ll do it,” Kate said, releasing a wisp of energy that materialized into the ‘Crazy Joker’.
The clown floated beside him, chuckling, and yelled, "There's a roulette wheel in my mouth! Numbers from 1 to 9! Different numbers reveal different weapons! This time the number is—4!"
Bang! A sniper rifle, as tall as a person, extends from beneath the Mad Clown's empty head.
Kate sighed. "Why is it this number?"
"Haha! You're really unlucky!" the mad clown laughed maniacally.
“That’s enough.” Kate ignored it, grabbed the No. 4 sniper rifle, walked to the beach, and aimed it at the sea.
The materialized clown could actually talk... Kurapika was secretly ashamed. Both Shizuku's bulging-eyed fish and his own little dolphin actually possessed a certain level of intelligence, as if they were alive, but at least they couldn't speak... He suddenly noticed that Kate was holding a sniper rifle and was carefully aiming at the sea surface, seemingly looking for a suitable fish.
Kurapika glanced at the horizon; the sun was already low, casting a crimson glow across the sea. "It's getting late. Even if we're leaving, we'll have to spend the night here."
"boom"!
Kate pulled the trigger, and a bullet pierced the surface of the sea, penetrating a sea monster weighing several hundred kilograms. It exploded in the sea, creating a dazzling spray of blood and leaving a trail hundreds of meters long.
Kate pulled down her hat and sighed, "Weapons that are conjured up can't be replaced or made to disappear if they're not used properly. It's so annoying."
"Hahaha! Who told you to have such bad luck!" The clown's head attached to the butt of the sniper rifle cackled wickedly.
“Shut up. Change the number.” Kate sighed again. “It’s so annoying.”
Kurapika was sweating profusely. If he found it annoying, why did he train his Nen ability in this direction?
He turned his head and saw Jingyang and Xiaodi sitting side by side on the pile of logs. Jingyang took a deep breath, as if he was high.
Oh, right, Jingyang's heart! Death energy!
Kurapika suddenly remembered that if Kite killed a sea monster at such close range, wouldn't that mean another death energy would sneak up on Jing Yang's heart...? Why does Jing Yang look like he's enjoying it? Does this guy really have self-destructive tendencies and wish for his own premature aging?
Kurapika was very displeased with Jingyang's self-deprecating behavior and went over to correct his wrong thinking, but he heard Jingyang clutching his chest and muttering to himself, "...This isn't my fault, he fired the shot! It has nothing to do with me..."
Ok?
Kurapika looked at Shizuku with a question mark on his head. Then he looked at Shizuku, who had a rare smile on her lips. You could tell from her face that she was in a good mood. This didn't make sense. When Jingyang was ambushed by the Dying Will, Shizuku was usually more nervous than Jingyang himself, even though she didn't show it on her face.
what happened?
Kurapika was puzzled, but also felt a sense of relief and comfort. He realized that Jingyang might have already resolved the hidden danger of death energy in his heart through some method.
Over there, Kate's clown drew lots again, this time to the number "1". Under the clown's head... there was still nothing there, but Kate reached out and grasped something.
Jingyang and the other two focused their eyes and looked closely. Under the clown's head, which held the number "1" in its mouth, there was an invisible, sharp longsword.
Invisible sword!
The materialized product, in theory, should be a "physical object" that ordinary people can see. However, Kate's No. 1 Invisible Sword is a pure Nen weapon imbued with "Invisibility" that even Nen users with opened eyes cannot see directly... Holding the No. 1 Invisible Sword, Kate easily sliced a round tree trunk in two with a few swift movements.
“Let’s go get some rope.” Jing Yang clapped his hands. “Xiao Di, lead the way. We should be able to find some military ropes or something on the bodies of those Kakin friends.”
"Oh." Little Drop stood up.
Jingyang waved, signaling Kurapika to follow.
……
Jingyang did not explain his oath and constraints, or the matter of "searching high and low" to Kurapika.
"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that what I say to you won't work."
The three of them boarded Kurapika's conjured boat and rowed towards the neighboring island. He said to Kurapika earnestly, "Shizuku knew because she happened to be next to me. It has nothing to do with me; she was the one who eavesdropped!"
Kurapika nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.
Xiao Di looked puzzled. Was I just there? I seem to remember that it was Jing Yang who held my hand and we went to the beach together.
Jingyang couldn't help but smile.
Even if Kurapika knew about the constraints of his oath to the underworld, would such a kind person like him really willingly help him slaughter indiscriminately and harvest death energy? Obviously not; he has his own principles and bottom line. On the contrary, if he were to tell Kurapika with ill intentions, it would be implying that the other party should kill more people for him—or at least more animals and beasts—which just felt awkward no matter how he thought about it.
Even if it doesn't actually violate the oath, since you've already thought this way and have this preconceived notion, then not violating it will become violating it.
The ability of mind has this inherent characteristic—it is something that is taken for granted, done subconsciously, and intuitively, and this is often very important and accounts for a large proportion.
The so-called "in a moment"... "Thought" implicitly refers to a kind of self-awareness that can only be understood and not explained in words in a fleeting instant.
Perhaps thousands or tens of thousands of years ago, the first pioneers to comprehend thought were struggling through storms, raging waves, snow, and ice, enduring hardship and practicing discipline in the deep mountains... when they suddenly had an epiphany and naturally saw the energy entwined around all living beings in the world. Thus, they understood, transcended, and opened the door to thought.
Jingyang instinctively felt that he couldn't proactively tell others about his "Going to the ends of the earth" ability. Otherwise, when others killed living beings around him, he would have a responsibility to remind them, or he would need to avoid suspicion, or it would be a vow... So this thought quietly seeped into his "Going to the ends of the earth" Nen ability.
As for the small drops?
Xiao Di is "Ji". Anyway, Jing Yang will tell her.
Aside from absurd things like time travel, Jingyang felt there was basically nothing he couldn't communicate with Doraemon.
When Jingyang let Xiaodi hear his vow to "search the heavens and the underworld" beside him, it wasn't with the intention that "if Xiaodi knew, she would kill more people for him and help him plunder death energy"...
They quickly landed on the neighboring island and found the bodies of the unsustainable people and the two private soldiers of the First Prince.
Jingyang had never heard of anything about "uncontrollable people," but Xiaodi overheard the conversation between the two groups and heard the words "first prince" and "second prince."
In other words, the so-called "uncontrollable people" were probably the second prince's privately established army.
Jingyang and his two companions searched the bodies and found some military ropes, which was enough. As for the various communication devices, small amounts of cash, and miscellaneous identification documents hidden in the bodies' clothes, they didn't touch them carelessly. In the end, they kicked them one by one and threw them into the sea to feed the fish.
When they returned to the island in the manifested boat, a campfire was lit on the land, and Kate was busy beside it, holding an invisible sword.
