Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 384 The Reckless Ant King

The guards and the division commander arrived at the queen ant's location immediately.

One of the reasons he arrived quickly was that he witnessed the birth of the Ant King, and the methods left on Pouf also made him aware of the Ant King's birth.

"Your Majesty!" Puff exclaimed in concern, but then knelt down on one knee.

The same applies to all three guards.

Seeing that the other chimera ants did not move, Pouf immediately berated the division commander and others.

The division commanders were all somewhat bewildered; none of them had expected the Ant King to be born in this way.

They all knelt down, not simply because of Puff's angry rebuke.

It was not the aura of the Ant King that compelled them to submit, but the powerful aura that the Ant King exuded from birth.

The ants have a clear hierarchy, and they have no choice but to submit.

Unless they can defy the hierarchical system ingrained in their genes by their own will.

Other division commanders arrived late, their primary concern being the Queen's condition.

One of the chimeric ants, which was holding a book and looked like a penguin, immediately went forward to investigate.

However, before he could even get close to the queen ant.

The ant queen killed the chimeric ant with a single whip of her tail.

This stunned all the chimera ants present.

They had imagined what the Ant King would be like, but it was never like this.

But what followed was something they found unacceptable.

The ant king took a bite of the chimera ant he had killed, then spat it out, indicating that it tasted bad.

Most of these chimeric ants contain human genes, and some even have vague human memories.

There will still be resistance to the idea of ​​cannibalism.

One chimeric ant, perhaps with a "jaurer" or sycophantic nature, went up to wipe the queen ant's tail.

In the end, he was killed by a tail again.

This dealt a heavy psychological blow to all the division commanders, making them wonder if the Ant King would kill them.

"Isn't there any better food?" the Ant King asked.

He was born early because he felt the food tasted worse, and he figured it was better to be born sooner rather than wait any longer.

Then go find something to eat yourself.

Despite the remaining threats outside, Pouf indicated that he had already prepared a delicious meal for the Ant King.

The King Ant and the three Royal Guards left immediately.

There's also a scene in the anime where Cordo makes a request to Neferpitou, but unfortunately, the dutiful Cordo has already left, so that scene is naturally not shown.

The guards had no idea that they intended to save the queen ant.

After the Ant King and the three Royal Guards left, all the division commanders finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What should we do now? It seems that Mother won't survive this condition," Zazan asked directly, looking at the Queen Ant's miserable state.

"Perhaps we could ask Lord Neferpitou for help," suggested one of the chimeras.

"Don't you want to live anymore?"

Of course, some chimeric ants with the means and ability to treat ants will immediately step forward to treat the queen.

However, the injury was too severe, and unless one possessed healing abilities like the breath of an archangel, there was no way to save the queen ant.

Outside the nest, Puff had made special arrangements.

"What's going on?" The Ant King, who knew nothing about the thick fog outside, asked.

"This is a tactic devised by the enemy to trap us here," Puff truthfully explained.

"Oh, so strong!" the Ant King said, and then plunged into the fog.

"Your Majesty!" This startled Puff.

They immediately plunged into the fog.

It must be said that the newly born ant king is extremely unruly.

The Ant King with this level of power is actually the easiest to deal with.

Netero and his colleagues also immediately noticed the anomaly in the chimeric ant nest.

"That's it!" Netero and the others were guessing.

"The Ant King has been born." Lucci appeared before them.

"Was it born ahead of schedule?!" Nob glanced at Lucci, it seemed that the other party really did know the outcome all along.

"Now should be when he is at his weakest. You have all seen the Chimera Ants' ability to form a colony. Should we make a move now?" Lucci asked Netero.

"The objective is to eliminate the entire chimeric ant colony. Compared to the threat posed by the king ant, the most important thing now is to get rid of the queen ant."

Because as long as the queen ant exists, she will continuously give birth to king ants.

That's the most terrifying thing.

Netero is strong, but not strong enough to take on the three Royal Guards and numerous division commanders at once.

That's why we haven't launched a full-scale attack on the chimeric ant nest for so long.

"Now that the king ant has been born, he will probably leave the nest soon. According to the habits of chimeric ants, the king ant will only take the three royal guards with him when he leaves the nest."

Once the three guards leave, the queen's defenses will be significantly weakened.

Then they can go up and unleash their full power.

In short, let the ant king go for now.

In other words, the two Neteros were unwilling to join forces, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many complicated matters.

But sometimes, what you think might not be what the enemy thinks.

When the Ant King ventured into the mist, the mist spirit beasts naturally attacked him, but how could they possibly be a match for the Ant King, even though he had just been born?

He killed the Mist Beast with ease, but as long as Lucci is still alive, the Beast can spawn whenever it wants.

The Ant King is also rapidly mastering his Nen, and even without knowing the existence of applied techniques, he can use them instinctively.

There's absolutely no need for instruction.

And the learning pace is very fast.

"Since just now, I've had this feeling of being watched. Is it the enemy you mentioned?" the Ant King asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, now is not the time to fight them," Puff tried to dissuade him.

"Since it's someone who can use this kind of power, it must taste delicious." The ant king's face, revealing his teeth, wore a terrifying smile.

Then the circle that belonged to him unfolded instantly.

It wasn't the circle of light particles from the reborn Ant King, but a circle with a wider range than Neferpitou.

He used Catwoman's abilities very naturally after watching it only once.

"Found it!" He then rushed off.

The ant king wanted to eat delicious food, but he was being a bit too arrogant.

When locked by the King Ant's circle.

Norbu and Mo Laowu trembled all over. Even with their Nen protecting them, they could still feel the terror of this danger.

"President?" They can leave anytime they want now.

"That's fine, let me witness his power." At this moment, Netero had not yet put on his "Heart" martial arts uniform.

But when faced with an attack from a powerful opponent, they never even considered fleeing.

"He's really asking for it!" Lucci commented.

They already gave me a chance.

I hope he doesn't die.

"You should be fine, right? I'm also a bit interested in that queen ant, so I'll be leaving now."
