Hunter x Hunter: Card Master, the Strongest in the World.

Chapter 251 The Legend of the Demon Soldier Babo! He needs a powerful ally!

Lin En nodded slightly.

The catwoman is now equivalent to his spirit beast.

He then gave Catwoman a task.

Catwoman continued to return to the anthill as a spy, providing intelligence at all times, so as not to alert the enemy.

Catwoman understood the purpose of the mission and immediately declared that she would complete the task perfectly. Then she pretended that nothing had happened and returned to the anthill.

Before leaving, Catwoman also gave some information.

For example, the guard team would consist of three people.

The king ant will not be born for some time, and its strength far surpasses that of the ant, etc.

With Catwoman gone, the matter here came to an end.

Their next task was to proceed to the NGL Autonomous State's border crossing and await the arrival of the Chimera Ant Extermination Team.

The island where the NGL Autonomous State is located comprises five countries.

-

The NGL Autonomous Republic is located at the westernmost point, while the corresponding easternmost point is the East Godot Republic.

Both the Autonomous NGL and the Republic of East Godot have strange problems.

The former outwardly loves nature but secretly runs a large-scale drug manufacturing plant, while the latter is poor and its leaders act absurdly, making life unbearable for its citizens.

Because both of their neighbors were unreliable, the three republics in the middle formed the Mitne Federation.

To travel to the NGL Autonomous Country, you must first fly to the left side of the Mitne Federation, which is the Locario Republic adjacent to NGL. After landing at the airport, you can take a car to the NGL border crossing.

airport.

At this moment, at the airport exit, Netero stood at the forefront, followed by five members: Mo Laowu and Nobu, and their three apprentices.

Strictly speaking, these three apprentices are not official members of the expedition team, at least not yet; they are simply assisting their master.

When Mo Laowu saw that Nitero did not stop and walked straight out, he couldn't help but ask.

"Guild Master, didn't you say there was one more member in the extermination team?"

"Hehe, don't worry, he'll arrive on time," Netero said casually, not at all concerned about Lynn.

With Lynn's abilities, there's no way things could go wrong.

Both Mo Laowu and Norbu were a little curious.

Then again, who exactly was the last person?

But since they were qualified to be selected by the president, they must be pretty good. Could it be someone they know?

Neither of them asked any further questions, suppressing their curiosity and planning to test each other's abilities after they actually met.

Netero and the others left the airport and got into the car driven by Kate's companions who had come to pick them up.

Kate has her own biological research team, including Wen Tai, a burly and honest-looking man who resembles a bear, and Spina, a pink-haired woman.

However, he was the only Nen user in the entire team, so he didn't let his companions follow him.

After all, a chimera ant as tall as a person is obviously not simple, so only two small ones are allowed to travel together.

Even so, Kate's companions would want to do their part.

So he took the initiative to pick up and drop off Nitero and the others.

They first dropped off their three apprentices in a town near NGL, and then drove Netero, Mo Laowu, and Nobu to the border crossing.

The immigration area is quite unique, consisting of two large, ancient trees.

Anyone wishing to enter the NGL Autonomous Country must undergo a search within the two ancient trees at this border.

After inspection, only those who are not carrying any "technological products" are allowed to enter; even plastic products are not permitted.

At this moment, Qi and Cai had just woken up, and Xiao Jie, still shaken, was waiting outside the immigration area for the extermination team to arrive.

"So that's how it is—Lynn saved us."

95

Xiao Jie murmured to himself, his tone full of relief and gratitude.

Although a night has passed, the terrifying scene from last night still lingers in his mind.

Even just thinking about it gives me goosebumps, and I recall that chilling murderous aura that makes you feel like you're in an ice cellar.

He really lost control for a moment.

Catwoman's murderous aura, Kate's severed arm—everything drove him to lose his mind, and he was prepared to die.

As a result, he was knocked unconscious by Qi Ya. It was after that that Lynn teleported over and successfully rescued them, and also reattached Kate's arm.

"By the way, where are Lynn and Kate?" Xiao Jie quickly asked Xiang Qi, as he wanted to thank Lynn in person.

"Oh, it seems they went to spar." Qi Ya glanced sideways, casually putting his hands behind his head. "But it's more like giving them pointers—after all, the gap between them is so big."

At the same time, a delivery truck sped towards them from the horizon, immediately catching the eyes of the two little ones.

Beep—beep.

As the delivery truck stopped, it kicked up a considerable amount of dust on the exposed ground.

Three figures vaguely emerged from the dust and were walking towards them.

That is—the Chimera Ant Slayer Force!

He only learned from Lynn that the expedition team would arrive today, so he and Xiao Jie were responsible for waiting here and had not yet contacted each other.

Qi's pupils contracted slightly, a hint of anticipation rising in his heart.

"I hope my helpers are strong enough," Qi muttered to himself.

Ever since he learned last night that the catwoman was just a guard ant, or even just one of three guard ants, and that there was an even more powerful ant king to come, he has felt uneasy.

He knew Lynn was very strong; even the terrifying Catwoman was no match for Lynn.

But when he heard that even Lynn considered the Ant King a serious enemy, he became a little uneasy.

What if the Ant King is ridiculously strong?

What if Lynn can't beat the Ant King?

However, Lynn said there were various reasons why the chimera ants could not be dealt with in advance, and that the birth of the ant king was already a foregone conclusion.

Therefore, he hopes his helpers are as strong as possible.

This will give us a better chance of solving the chimeric ant problem.

Thinking back to how he was so terrified he couldn't move when he faced the catwoman last night, he couldn't imagine what kind of being the Ant King would be.

Thinking of this, Qi's face darkened.

Not only him, but Xiao Jie also looked grim after hearing Qi's words.

Their performance yesterday was absolutely awful.

That was the first time in their history that they had encountered such a desperate situation.

That night at the Heaven's Stadium, Kurapika, Leorio, and even Visge and Lynn were present. In the end, it was Lynn alone who defeated the mastermind.

They did not experience any particularly strong feelings from beginning to end.

But last night was different.

There were only three of them, and the strongest one, Kate, had her arm severed in an instant. Coupled with that indescribable, extreme killing intent, it cast a shadow over the two of them.

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, the figures and appearances of the three people were fully revealed to them.

On the left is a man with a full head of silver hair and a burly build; he is the tallest of the three.

He wore his signature sunglasses and his ever-present suit.

His broad nose, square face, and brown skin were not as noticeable as the large pipe slung over his shoulder.

However, this large pipe is currently wrapped in cloth strips and will be removed during the battle.

The man on the right of the three is wearing a black suit and glasses.

Wearing a high-end suit, he didn't look like a staff member; instead, he exuded an aristocratic air, with a calm and indifferent expression.

They didn't know Mo Laowu or Norbu, but they knew the person in the very middle.

Right in the middle of the two was Chairman Netero, the initiator of this Chimera Ant Extermination Team!

"Netro—Chairman."

Qi Ya stared blankly at the three people walking towards him step by step, and murmured to himself.

He hadn't expected that Chairman Netero would also come.

This should have been a good result, but he subconsciously denied it.

Subconsciously, he always felt that Chairman Netero would not be a match for the King of Ants.

Even the feeling that Chairman Netero gave him wasn't as strong as that of the catwoman, and he didn't even know if he could defeat the Guardian Ants.

"Hehehe, looks like he's really taken a hit~"

Netero walked up to him and glanced at Qi, who was hanging his head and looking dejected.

He glanced again at Xiao Jie next to him, whose face clearly showed his lingering fear, stroked his long beard, and remained expressionless.

Netero sighed inwardly, realizing that it was probably not just Chimera Ants capable of using Nen that had appeared now.

It's highly likely that an extremely powerful being has already emerged!

He had a general idea of ​​Xiao Jie and the other two's strength; they were definitely not at the level of children they appeared to be.

These two children are already stronger than a large number of Nen users.

Even so, neither of them looked happy.

Nitro subconsciously recalled reports he had read before about chimeric ants.

Although most of those appearing this time are Chimera Ants from the Dark Continent.

However, judging from various signs, they still share many characteristics with the common chimeric ants on the six continents.

The most obvious example is the hierarchical division among chimeric ants, with the queen ant at the top and the soldiers at the bottom.

According to those experts' assessments, the time for the birth of the ant king should not have arrived yet.

In other words—

Do even the Chimera Ants below the King Ant possess this level of strength?!

Netero stroked his beard, secretly marveling at himself, feeling increasingly fortunate that he had invited Lynn.

Otherwise, it would be much more troublesome to deal with.

"What? Aren't these two little devils?"

"Did you go sightseeing out of curiosity, only to find that things were beyond your control?"

"It's best to go home early."

Mo Laowu, carrying a large pipe, spoke in a deep, muffled voice.

In his opinion, Xiao Jie and Qi Ya shouldn't be here at their age; you could tell from their expressions that they had suffered a great blow.

How much skill can someone so young possess?

This naturally makes it easy to encounter enemies far stronger than oneself, which can severely damage one's future development.

Although Mo Laowu spoke a bit roughly, it was all for the sake of the two children.

Norb, standing beside him, pushed up his glasses, a glint of light flashing across the lenses, making his eyes appear even sharper. He said calmly, "Don't say that, they're too pitiful."

"They are just children, so it's understandable that they would be scared."

At this moment, Norb's thoughts were the same as Mo Laowu's.

The two children underestimated the terror of the chimeric ants because of their appearance.

They're just kids, right?

Netero blinked but didn't say anything more.

Anyway, once we see the enemy in person, our perspective will naturally change.

"Are there only three of you?"

Anyone could hear the disappointment in Qi's tone.

Nobu frowned. In his opinion, let alone mobilizing someone of Chairman Netero's caliber, even he and Mo Laowu were probably enough.

Unexpectedly, he even complained that the support was insufficient?

"Oh? Why do you ask that?"

Netero asked with considerable curiosity, even though his meaning was quite clear.

"Not enough—"

Qi slowly raised his head and looked directly at the three of them.

He was already troubled by this matter, and when he heard Mo Laowu and Norbu's disdainful words, he spoke without any politeness.

They had no idea what kind of enemy they were facing.

"Because I have also learned Nen, I know very well that you are all very strong."

At this moment, in Qi's eyes, the auras of the three people were stronger than the other.

Chairman Netero, in particular, is the most powerful of the three.

"But that's not enough! You can't defeat the enemy!"

Hearing Qi's resolute words, even Mo Laowu felt that it was a bit too much.

You could say that he and Nobu aren't strong enough, but Chairman Netero is still one of the world's top fighters.

Although he is no longer the "strongest in the world" at present, he was the "strongest in the world" in the old era, and his strength is not much worse.

Isn't this much support enough?

However, from Qi's perspective, this is perfectly reasonable.

There are two more guardian ants as powerful as the catwoman.

Not to mention the unknown and even more powerful Ant King.

In the original story, Quirrell believed that Netero and his two companions would be no match for Neferpitou, let alone Quirrell now that he knows more.

The only saving grace is that they have Lynn on their side.

This is one of the few pieces of news that brings a sense of relief to Qi Ya.

While Quixote and Netero were talking, Gon didn't interrupt because he had been unconscious the night before and had only just woken up and didn't know much.

"Hehehe, if we don't have enough, then who do you think we need to help out?"

Netero laughed twice, already guessing what Qi was about to say.

At the same time, he was also curious about the enemy he had never met, as he knew how keen Qi's sense of danger was.

Since he said that, it's very likely true.

"I don't know either, but—it would be best if someone as strong as Lynn."

Qi stared intently into Netero's eyes, his determination evident in them.

Even when Lynn was mentioned, his eyes, which had been somewhat gloomy, lit up.

Lynn is very strong.

If we get another helper like Lynn, that should be enough to make things safe, right?

When Lynn's name appeared, both Mo Laowu and Netero were taken aback, except for Netero, who had expected it.

"Hey, what are you talking about? Do you even know what kind of person Lynn is?" Mo Laowu covered his face and said helplessly.

Does this child really know what he is saying?

He felt that Qi Ya's reaction was too extreme.

The live broadcast from Sky Arena that night made countless people who didn't know Lynn realize his strength.

Even some people who knew Lynn were surprised by that battle.

It is no exaggeration to say that Lynn is fully qualified to be the "strongest in the New World," and his strength even far surpasses that of those who follow him.

Lynn's name deserves to be singled out and listed as a separate level of strength!

Now this kid is saying that Chairman Netero isn't enough, and he even needs Lynn's help?

Mo Laowu, who was unaware that Lynn was a teammate and had even met with Qi Ya and others the night before, tacitly agreed that Qi wanted Lynn to join.

The situation was far more outrageous than he had imagined; what Qi wanted were two [Lynns].

"I know, I know Lynn, that's why I said those things!"

Qi glanced sideways at Mo Laowu, her tone quite resolute.

Mo Laowu muttered to himself, and a thought inexplicably popped into his mind.

Could he be right?

"When people encounter an unknown opponent, they tend to overestimate the opponent. You are just experiencing temporary panic right now."

"Leave the rest to us, you can go back and rest."

Nob shook his head, thinking that they were just children after all, and it was reasonable for them to react this way.

"Oh, everyone's here."

Suddenly, a sound came from the other side.

Everyone turned to look, and saw that the one who spoke was Lynn, who was walking towards them, with a slightly disheveled Kate behind him.

He and Kate just went to spar.

Of course, it was nominally a friendly sparring match, but in reality it was a form of guidance for Kate, because the difference in strength was too great. His main goal was to extract cards from Kate, and the result did not disappoint him.

【Name: Bapho】

Grade: A+

[Type: Item Card]

[Background: The Legend of the Demon Soldier]

[Introduction: The most unique ARM in the world of MARHEAVEN, also known as "Treasure Trove," has three effects. Effect 1:]

**Effect 1:** Babo can transform into magical items with different effects according to the user's wishes. **Effect 2:** Growth – Babo's potential increases with each use. **Effect 3:** Devour – Babo can devour different materials, thus forming a specific type of transformed form.

This time, it's Babo from the world of [MARK].

Perhaps it was because of Kate's "Crazy Joker" that this card was revealed.

Lynn remembered that the world of Wraith Saga was very interesting, with many magical items called "ARM" that were divided into weapon types, guardian types, and natural element types.

The protagonist, Ginta, possesses a very special magical item called Babo, also known as "Baobao," which can transform into various forms.

Basic weapons include swords and knives.

The ranged weapon is the bubble gun.

It can also transform into a guardian like the Stonewing Demon, which can fire destructive beams from a ring in its mouth.

For example, the Holy type Alice appears as an angel in a black dress and can remove the Dark ARM curse and restore fatigue.

His Babo is different; he doesn't have a fixed magical item form and is more like a blank slate, making him more malleable.

For example, he can now turn Babo into swords and bows, which are just ordinary weapons.

But if you have a rich enough imagination and enough energy, Babo can become an even more powerful tool in your mind.

It can be the form that Bapho takes in the original work, or it can be an item from other works.

The more times it is used, the more Babo will grow.

Finally, by consuming different types of items, one can increase the chances of creating more forms of similar items.

Overall, it may not be as powerful as it is in the original work, but it has great potential. If properly nurtured, it can definitely become a useful tool. Orochimaru can study it regularly.

This kind of thing has great potential and is very versatile; Orochimaru, the scientist and inventor, would definitely be very interested in it.
