From Hunter x Hunter to Supreme Will

This made him think of something in an instant.

Meruem's talent.

The ant king has the instinct of "eating". After eating the brain tissue of the Nen ability user, his energy will become stronger... To put it bluntly, he can evolve infinitely! It is similar to the ability of Oboro. He thought it was just a special case.

But now it seems that this is not the case at all!

Humans eat food to sustain life and take in nutrients... but essentially, what we eat cannot be transformed into "power". There is a very necessary process in between, which is practice!

But the creatures in the Dark Continent don't seem to be like this.

They can absorb the essential life energy through digestion!

Note that it is absorbing energy... not simply eating living things.

This is scary...

This means that it is very likely that most of the life in the Dark Continent...there is a characteristic in their food chain.

As long as you 'eat' you can become stronger, which will make the fights between species in the food chain even more cruel and bloody...but humans don't have this ability. At least in the current human world, no human has this trait, unless they have some special abilities like Oboro.

There is a possibility of 'evolution'!

Evolution, always evolving...

No one knows how many years the Dark Continent has existed. In this case, doesn't it mean that some of the ancient creatures on this continent are at the top of the food chain and have evolved into "super-dimensional species" of unknown level?

It’s the same as raising Gu.

Insight into this point means that on this land, there must be several or more, or a group of the most terrifying "things".

Long's heart was pounding.

Netero did not state this in his report to V5, but... maybe the old man realized it, so he banned humans from setting foot on this continent.

"Luckily I developed the ability to stack passive abilities... Otherwise, I wouldn't even have the basic qualifications to participate in this game. Evolution... is just a ticket." Long suddenly realized, "The reason why I can evolve is because of my powerful digestion and absorption abilities... In essence, it's still the difference in the structure of my life."

Long couldn't imagine whether the humans who had not yet migrated to the island in the lake had this characteristic. At least now... they didn't.

He thought of Alluka again.

The kind of life substance that involves the energy of the rule system.

Any living thing has all the power it needs to survive. This is the law.

Oboro once believed that Alluka relied on human inner desires as bait to obtain the "food" he needed, but what was its food?

Although it is invisible to the naked eye.

There is no connection to food, it seems to be just 'playing around'.

But anyone who was infected or was close to it died...the price they paid for it was their life.

If Alluka can really transform "external life" into life span through his own power... then it undoubtedly touches the essence of life energy.

It has no entity, so naturally it does not need physical food, but what it needs... to sustain its survival, or to sustain its existence, is life energy.

It is not just flesh, blood, spirit and soul;

From this perspective, both the Ant King and Alluka are close to the essence of "continuous evolution through hunting and absorbing life energy."

Is this a characteristic unique to the Dark Continent?

Alluka's evolutionary characteristics are not very prominent, but that doesn't mean they don't exist... It's just that it's still relatively young, and its "way of eating" is also unconventional.

Thinking about this, Long felt a little creepy.

He was not sure whether all species in the Dark Continent had the characteristic of 'evolution', or whether it was... limited to only a part of them.

Even so, I dare not delve into it further... because it is too terrifying.

He now vaguely understood Netero's "good intentions".

Looking at this world again, Long felt like a "pitiable person" who had lost his way and strayed into the abyss.

"No matter how bad the human world is, it is still a relatively safe paradise...but here is a real hell."

Hazy muttered to himself.

"It's just a pity...I still want to come."

"Because I already have the qualifications and tickets to participate in the game... This most authentic hunting feast derived from evolution, how can I miss it..."

"Prey and Predator..."

"I think I like this side a little better. After all, there is no intrigue here. It is more pure. Whoever is stronger...will survive."

The next second, Long suddenly laughed.

A hint of bloodthirsty desire ignited in his eyes.

He came here...also to evolve!

As he spoke, he walked alone towards the area where the water was rising.

Chapter 244 Drinking Everything Will Only Hurt You

Before Long walked into the lizard's trap, ripples suddenly appeared in the space nearby.

Some invisible creature appeared from the void, as if it had smelled the sweet fragrance of water vapor and came looking for it.

A gigantic rat, with only one round scarlet eye on its face, a body and hair like a rat, but limbs like a lion or tiger, which is clearly a sign of evolution.

And it is undoubtedly a hunter!

While the lizard was luring its prey, it also exposed its own existence and was targeted by stronger life forms.

There was a bang.

As soon as the mouse appeared, its entire body instantly sank into the soft sand. Then the two creatures from the bottom of the Dark Continent began to fight fiercely. For a moment, yellow sand filled the sky and the ground shook violently, like a magnitude 10 earthquake.

Compared with these two giants, the tiny dust-like Yun seemed about to be blown into the sky by the residual power of the shock.

Because even Men Qi and his men who were hiding far away retreated and moved away, and all the stones that blocked their figures were blown away... If they didn't leave, they would be affected too.

It seems that the distance is far, but in fact, for these two creatures, it is right in front of them.

"sky!"

As Gabwich ran, he couldn't help but look back.

They had seen the octopus before, but had not had time to take a closer look. But now... after taking a closer look at this creature from another continent, they couldn't help but change color and exclaim in surprise.

Lizards and mice rolled and howled back and forth in the desert, causing the surrounding sand to surge violently and appear a little chaotic.

The sound of the two monsters fighting each other was enough to shake the earth.

And the captain...has disappeared.

It seems to have been submerged by the sand tide!

This sudden hunt was over quickly and the winner was the mouse.

It dragged the lizard's corpse out of the ground, then opened its fangs and began to chew it with relish.

Long walked through the sand curtain step by step and came to the field covered with blood.

Stand under the mouse.

He needed to look up so that his vision could cover the entire body of the mouse, like looking up at a mountain.

The mouse was eating heartily, still chewing the flesh and bones of its prey in its mouth, but its eyeballs moved a little and stared at a black spot at its feet...but it just glanced at it and didn't pay any attention to it.

It seemed like it had no interest in the 'little thing' that was approaching.

"Strange?" Long read an emotion from the mouse's eyes.

Maybe it was the first time for this monster to see a human being, and he was not on its menu. In addition, he had restrained some of his aura, so his life energy seemed very low... Moreover, although his physical fitness was invincible in the human world, it was still at the lower level in the Dark Continent.

Long did not release the ghost fog.

After arriving in this land, perhaps his real strength is not his body, but his soul.

"Being... looked down upon."

Long smiled silently.

Just as he was about to take action, something strange happened again.

The mouse that was originally eating suddenly stopped, its eyes became frightened, as if it had sensed something. It had just put down its food, causing the ground to shake, and then it ran away.

Suddenly, the sky became pitch black as if covered by dark clouds.

A cold storm blew up, and Long's body instantly turned into a soul, making him immune to harm from the wind curtain and ignoring physical damage.

He looked over and saw that the mouse, which was still running away, had its body disintegrated and was cut into several pieces in the blink of an eye.

A strange bird with three heads covered with rotten flesh descended from the sky and grabbed the mouse's already damaged corpse with its sharp claws.

The mouse was the hunter one second ago, and the next second it became the prey...

Interlocking.

The important thing is that crises can occur at any time.

This frequency of hunting and the dangerous living conditions seem to be the norm in the Dark Continent.

It was not until this moment that a series of air currents and sound waves suddenly rose from the sky above, indicating that this strange bird had flown from a very far distance, and its speed definitely exceeded the speed of sound... After its body landed on the ground, the lingering pressure and sound followed.

As for how far away...how far away he spotted the mouse, Long couldn't estimate...but it was definitely beyond his perception range.

He didn't notice it.

After catching the mouse's corpse, the strange bird did not start "eating" immediately. Instead, it looked around first, and after making sure there was no danger, it began to tear the mouse's corpse apart piece by piece.

That's right, tearing.

Its heads were shaped like those of some ferocious beast. Instead of the beaks typical of birds, they had three mouths full of sharp teeth and round mouthparts.

Long approached again.

But like the mouse, the strange bird obviously noticed 'him', but did not attack.

It seems that in its eyes, this level of life energy is not worth its attention at all.
