The giant sea monster, once falling from the esophagus, is often burdened by its massive size, making it almost dead or crippled upon landing, while ordinary sea monsters might escape with their lives.
However, even if they land safely, they still face endless parasites.
The slaughter in the darkness was intense from the start. From the vantage point, Luo and his companions soon smelled the strong scent of blood.
En.
Luo silently expanded his "En," and the movements of countless objects were transmitted into his mind through the delicate sensations on his skin.
It was simply... a one-sided massacre.
The rock island crab swallowed countless creatures in one bite, treating them like livestock and throwing them into this waterless slaughterhouse.
From the sea to the land, these marine creatures were at a loss, only able to expose their necks and await the parasites' slaughter.
The killing and devouring resembled a war.
"Exhilarating."
Bisky also expanded her En, sensing the slaughter in the darkness, and couldn't help but whisper.
A human slaughterhouse kills many livestock daily, but this place was more extreme and terrifying.
Dozens of parasites pounced on a single sea monster, like a swarm of piranhas, devouring it completely within seconds, leaving not even bones behind.
Luo and Bisky could only sense tearing and devouring, without any bones left, feeling the cold, merciless killing atmosphere.
To take a step back, it was like countless low-level Nen users collectively releasing a murderous aura. Although not threatening, it was unsettling.
Bruna's soft body shrank, transforming from human size to that of a three or four-year-old child, trembling on Luo's shoulder.
Tonpa's senses were even more acute than En, his face slightly pale, shaken by the scene in the darkness. Having participated in dozens of Hunter exams, he didn't go weak at the knees.
On the flat ground, blood was already flowing like a river. In the process of devouring, the parasites couldn't care for the splashing blood, letting it flow on the ground.
Everyone waited in silence until the sounds in the darkness finally subsided, then they walked down the slope to the flat ground.
Just now, the light of the algae had illuminated the bottom of the slope, revealing a rushing river of blood. Now, the blood seemed to have vanished, as if absorbed into the ground.
It was indeed a gruesome feast, whether by the rock island crab or the parasites...
Returning to the flat ground, the group continued forward.
In the darkness, where the light couldn't reach, there were often cold, needle-like gazes, but Luo wasn't worried.
Even if the algae's Nen conversion rate was high, it didn't matter. With Bisky's Ms. Cookie, they could rotate continuously, ensuring the algae glowed every second.
In a prolonged battle, Ms. Cookie's role was invaluable. Inviting Bisky to join was undoubtedly a wise decision.
The Bruna clan's racial talent seemed to be unique perception and memory. Whenever the rock island crab fed, Bruna would promptly alert Luo's group and find suitable hiding spots in the vast darkness.
This danger-avoidance ability had some similarities with Tonpa, but there were many differences.
They traveled smoothly for two days, encountering the rock island crab feeding no less than ten times, each time devouring a huge number of marine creatures.
Thinking carefully, with such an exaggerated appetite, could the ocean species sustain themselves?
Perhaps existence is reasonable. The dark sea couldn't be judged by common sense, and maybe its growth cycle was far higher than the six continents.
That day, the journey's peace was broken.
The parasites, which feared strong light, no longer avoided the algae's light. They didn't enter the light's range but surrounded Luo's group.
Realizing this, everyone stopped, looking into the darkness and seeing countless pairs of crimson eyes.
Tonpa and Bruna couldn't hide their fear, clinging tightly to Luo and Bisky.
"Probably a command higher than instinct, suppressing their aversion and fear," Bisky said calmly.
Luo glanced at Bisky and said, "It seems the main threat has appeared, saving us the trouble of finding it."
Bisky's eyes changed suddenly, looking in a direction and saying in a low voice, "Do you feel it?"
As soon as she spoke, Luo's expression changed slightly, looking in the same direction, and said solemnly, "A malicious aura overflowing, undoubtedly condensed by Nen."
"What do you think?" Bisky asked seriously.
"A parasite ruler using Nen?" Luo speculated.
"Very likely." Bisky frowned. The magical beast race already had far superior physical qualities to humans. If they knew how to use Nen, it wouldn't be a simple addition.
It should be noted that none of the magical beast races surviving under human recognition on the six continents used Nen. If they did, humans might lose dominance.
From another perspective, the combination of magical beast physical qualities and Nen could be even more terrifying than the multiplication of vows and restrictions.
Luo's expression turned slightly grim. He had seen magical beasts using Nen on Demon Island, but they were products of the Surprise Box, with many drawbacks. The parasite ruler was likely a true magical beast Nen user.
At that moment, a pure, extremely malicious aura flowed from the darkness. Tonpa and Bruna were directly affected, nearly collapsing to the ground.
Facing the aura head-on, Luo and Bisky were unaffected.
This aura from an unknown creature in the darkness was comparable to the three royal guards of the Ant King.
"Roar."
A roar broke the silence of the darkness.
God knows how a fish-like creature could produce a roar reminiscent of a tiger.
The crimson eyes in the darkness, like a star array, were pushed aside by a pair of eyes ten times larger, approaching Luo's position.
Slowly, carrying a chilling, tangible aura, a parasite ten times larger stood at the edge of the light range, staring at Luo's group with icy eyes.
"Human."
The ruler's low voice uttered strange syllables. Luo's group didn't understand. Even if they did, they wouldn't know how to respond.
Crack.
The sound of teeth chattering came from beside him.
Luo glanced at Tonpa, feeling speechless.
The aura was terrifying, but Tonpa knew how to use Nen. Was this reaction necessary?
Luo shook his head slightly, calmly looking at the ruler outside the light range. He suddenly took out a flashlight and directed the beam at the ruler.
When the beam hit the ruler's forehead, it roared, and the sound waves shattered Luo's flashlight and knocked Tonpa to the ground.
A magical beast race using Nen was inherently an Enhancer.
