They soon arrived at the Country of Kakin, after passing without problems, because Netero prepared a certificate that allows him to pass, with the excuse of carrying out an important investigation.
When they arrived, they were greeted by a huntress named Ponzu, who is in charge of taking them to the area, where they had captured the presence of the strange creatures.
What had made them know the existence of these creatures, was that they found an arm on a beach. And recently they captured the appearance of beings with humanoid forms, but with strange appearances.
Upon hearing Ponzu's report, Gid was thinking that the Queen of the Chimera Ants should already be giving birth to more ants. But the Royal Guards shouldn't have appeared yet.
Now what she had to do was find the Queen's lair, to do that she had to discover the areas where they appear the most.
Although she could spread her En directly, that would be very exhausting for Gid, although her Nen could easily take it, her mind could not.
Because spreading her All over her area would pass in the form of information to her head, although all she had to do was feel her presence, it was still difficult. She could only wait for their own Nen to wake up, when that time comes, for Gid it will be no different than a bunch of fireflies gathered in the middle of the night.
But they would have to hunt down Nen users to do that, and if they managed to hunt them down, then they would get enough attention for Gid to find them himself.
So Gid, Ponzu and the other girls went to inspect the area where they appeared earlier.
"Looks like we won't find anything for today," Gid said after searching for hours.
"If we want to find them more easily, we can only use a bait to attract them"
Hearing Gid's words, Ponzu looked at him doubtfully and asked.
"Bait? What kind of bait would attract them? "
"Of course it's a person," Gid said.
"Person?!" Panzu said in surprise.
"From the information I received from Netero, there are many people who have started to disappear, since those creatures appeared, so it is obvious what happened," Gid said nonchalantly.
"You mean...?" Without finishing her sentence Ponzu looked at Gid in surprise, understanding what Gid meant.
"Apparently those guys need a lot of food, and humans are their favorite," Gid continued, then looked into the distance with narrowed eyes apparently feeling something.
All the others also turned their heads in that direction with a frown, due to having felt quite a strong aura.
Seeing everyone looking to the side, Ponzu felt strange since she didn't know they were looking.
"What are you watching? Is there something out there? " I ask with doubts.
"There is quite a strong aura on that side and also quite strange, it shouldn't be human" Shizuku said calmly.
"Let's see, it looks interesting," Gid said with a slightly excited smile.
Although he knew it was one of the Chimera ants, apparently they began to awaken their Nen, but what surprised Gid, was the great aura that it emanated, apparently he had underestimated those ants, a simple soldier ant had the amount of aura than 3 common Nen users together.
Gid couldn't imagine how strong the king was, but he would still be weaker than him, but a simple ant that fled from the dark continent was so strong, Gid didn't understand how humans haven't disappeared from this planet yet.
Then, everyone quickly headed towards the ant's direction, with that ant would be enough for them to find the ant queen, and get rid of her.
Although Gid had no problem with that breed, he knew that these guys would cause a lot of problems in the future, which can get him involved in one way or another.
Gid himself knew that humans would not accept a completely different race from them living in their territory, furthermore this race was much stronger than them by far. So there would be wars sooner or later, Biscuit and Piyon will most likely get involved in these unnecessary wars, even himself might have to do it, so it was better to get rid of the problem from the beginning before it spreads and is done larger.
Thinking of such trivial things, they soon came across a strange and low-rise creature with dark green skin.
If Gid remembered correctly, this guy was the one who would kill Ponzu in the near future and eat her.
But when he saw the weapon he had in his hand, Gid seemed strange to him, he secretly emanated an aura more powerful than the common hunter, but that he uses a weapon meant that he did not know how to use Nen yet.
If that was so, then it would be easier for him.
Seeing humans appear in front of him, made the strange creature get excited, recently he had found some strange humans, who when eating them felt stronger than before. Now seeing more, it made her gulp at the thought of the power she would gain in the future.
"Machi, cut off this guy's limbs and keep them tied" Gid said quietly, seeing the chimera ant in front of him, laughing like crazy at the sight of them.
"Yes!" With a nod, Machi suddenly disappeared in place, only to appear behind the chimera ant.
"Hey?" Seeing that a human had suddenly disappeared, she tried to look around, but before she did, she felt like she was falling.
"Pap"
With a sound his body landed on the ground.
"Hey? EEEH? " In disbelief the ant looked at its unresponsive body, only for an excruciating pain to suddenly come to mind.
"AAAH ..." When he started screaming in pain, he suddenly felt a blow to his head making him lose consciousness.
"Pakunoda, look at this guy's memoirs, see if you can find anything useful," Gid said quietly.
With a nod Pakunoda approached to see the ant's memories.
Ponzu to one side was surprised by the sudden change of scene, a few moments ago they had arrived and found the chimera ant, who had been looking around them, seeing it herself she suddenly felt a lot of pressure, but the next second she was lying in the the ground with his limbs severed, which made him unable to react for the moment.
Ignoring Ponzu who couldn't speak, Kalluta aside suddenly asked Gid.
"Gid-sama, is this creature that belongs to the dark continent?" She asked with doubts, although she seemed strong she did not think it was as scary as belonging to the dark continent, she could face hundreds of these guys herself.
"Yes, or rather it should be a hatchling, of the true creature that came from the dark continent" Gid said after glancing slightly at Kalluta.
"Breeding?" Kalluta asked incredibly.
"Yes, for now let's wait for the information from Pakunoda, to know more details" Gid said indifferently, while waiting for Pakunoda to finish.
So she leaned against the tree with her arms crossed to wait, after all it would not finish in a short time.
