Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

But Mo Laowu didn't dwell on this. He casually controlled the puppet next to Horus, holding up one finger, meaning—"One hour left."

"Damn! You said the same thing an hour ago!"

Horus's voice suddenly came from the north, filled with exasperation and despair:

"They initially said it would take five hours, then they made me wait another hour, and then another hour after that. Five hours have passed already, Mo Laowu!"

"I'm really running out of bullets! If reinforcements don't arrive soon, I'll have to take you down with me!"

In the thick smoke.

Horuchus ripped off his empty belt, pulled out the last bullet, held it in his hand, and skillfully loaded it into the chamber.

The special bullets stored in his ammunition belt were all used up, and the sound-mimicking bullet in his hand was also the last one.

They've truly run out of ammunition and supplies...

Rumble!!

A wave of sound, like the beating of giant drums, surged in like ocean waves.

Horus gave a bitter smile, listening to the constant roaring sounds in his ears, feeling utterly exhausted and drained.

Ten hours had passed, and they had all reached their physical limits.

But the monster continued to unleash its terrifying and powerful aura with almost no pressure, frantically destroying everything around it.

Over the past ten hours, they have used every means at their disposal.

Despite their mutual restraint and cooperation, the two were still nearly driven to their deaths countless times.

In the most recent crisis, if Mo Laowu hadn't paid the price of losing an arm to distract the monster, he probably would have been turned into seven or eight pieces long ago.

Horukes now understands as well.

'That bastard Pariston never intended for me to leave alive... Well, of course, what need is there for intelligence to investigate whether the Chimera Ants have grown in strength?'

'Isn't the death of an elite hunter the best evidence?'

Horuges was well aware of the limits of his physical abilities.

Let alone an hour.

He can't even activate his [training] skill now!

Moreover, the area covered by that monster's "circle" is still growing...

Thinking about this, Horuchs still felt a sense of absurdity:

'That beast actually learned all of the [Condensation], [Flow], [Circle], [Firm], and [Round] techniques while entangled with us…'

What an incredible learning ability!

In just a few hours, the opponent's "circle" size increased dramatically from about five meters at the beginning to nearly five hundred meters now!

This size of "circle" has already surpassed the limits of human capability.

But Horuchs suspects that if given more time, the distance might continue to expand, perhaps even reaching the kilometer level!

It's a complete monster.

It was also because the other party had learned the "circle" technique that their maneuvering pressure in the smoke field suddenly increased dramatically.

If the opponent's "circle" eventually becomes large enough to cover the entire Mo Laowu's smoke field, even if their physical strength doubles, they will have no chance of survival.

Because under the detection of the [Circle], Mo Laowu, who is constantly producing [Purple Smoke Mechs], will be successfully located in an instant and then killed without any surprise.

"Never mind, never mind."

Horus suddenly calmed down, leaned against the tree, and slowly slid down to sit cross-legged on the ground:

"Ten years of martial arts training and ten years of spear practice, and I still can't see the tail of those monsters."

He took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.

call……

The smoke rings he exhaled mingled with Mo Laowu's smoke and disappeared.

"What a failure."

Horus cursed under his breath, raised the Emperor, and pointed the gun straight at the sky.

Even if it means death, he wants to disgust others; that was his life motto.

At the same time, smoke billowed and dark figures emerged.

pat.

The monster landed lightly on its toes, looking down at the world with a gaze that was ruthless, cold-blooded, cruel, and contemptuous.

Like the rain in November.

She seemed to be saying:

'Lower animals.'

Horus, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, looked up and met her gaze.

He didn't say a word, and pulled the trigger.

Without a sound, a dark shadow flashed and disappeared from the spot!

boom!

[Onomatopoeia] The sound of a bullet leaving the barrel.

A thunderous voice resounded through the sky—

"You're a beast! Go eat my dick!"

Chapter 478 Tactics × Monster

The sound resounded through the sky in an instant.

Mo Laowu realized that it was too late.

They lost.

'Horukhs, that guy…'

Mo Laowu remained silent for a moment, then sighed. No matter how roundabout the approach, it was impossible to bridge the huge gap in strength.

That guy, who had ulterior motives but was quite capable, is probably already in grave danger.

That must have been his last words.

'At least you have some backbone.'

Mo Laowu shook his head and mourned for him for a moment.

However, having lost his teammates, he no longer had any chance of holding out until reinforcements arrived.

"..."

The surroundings were still shrouded in smoke.

But suddenly it became quiet.

Mo Laowu could only hear the rustling of leaves and the occasional hopping footsteps of small animals.

That was the sound of his smoke puppet.

The monster that had been relentlessly destroying the environment and making terrifying noises suddenly fell silent.

Perhaps the monster was searching for him, or perhaps it had already escaped; either way is possible. In any case, no one knows what happened.

Mo Laowu gripped the pipe tightly, propped himself up, and then used his right arm to swing the pipe onto his shoulder.

Behind his sunglasses, his eyes were extremely firm and resolute, and he thought to himself:

'No matter what, we must leave clues for future generations.'

After a moment of silent prayer, Mo Laowu took a deep drag on his pipe and slowly exhaled a puff of slightly dark gray smoke.

The gray smoke landed, instantly lengthened and swirled, and in the blink of an eye transformed into a slender, black-browed serpent.

The little snake propped itself up, looked around, and stuck out its long, thin tongue.

Mo Laowu stuffed a recorder into its mouth, watched it crawl into an inconspicuous little hole, and thought to himself:

'If I'm killed, and I'm carrying the idea of ​​getting the information out, there's a high probability that an "afterlife spirit" will appear that won't disappear. That spirit snake won't vanish, which is the final guarantee.'

However, how to ensure that others find this black-browed rat snake is another problem...

Suddenly, the smoke billowed.

It was like being blown by a tiny breeze.

Mo Laowu's body suddenly froze.

A quiet figure, who had been sitting quietly under a tree a few meters away, was crouching down, holding a head in its hands.

That's Horus's head!

Blood was flowing from his seven orifices, his face was ashen, his tongue had been ripped out, and half of his white spine was still attached to his neck, yet he maintained an angry posture with his eyes wide open.

He died a painful death, but he was also very brave.

At the same time, the figure turned its head.

She glanced at him.

Her face was stained with crimson blood, beautiful and alluring, her expression like that of a cat that had spotted a lone mouse.

But this glance lasted only a very short time.

Neferbitt looked up thoughtfully, gazing in a strange direction.

Even though there were layers upon layers of thick smoke blocking her way, she seemed to see something through the smoke.

'I was careless... Was it because I was running out of energy...?'

Mo Laowu's forehead was covered in cold sweat the size of soybeans.
