Chapter 137

Xiaojie felt a strange excitement, just like the one he felt when he fought with Hisoka.

The feeling that every cell is screaming, the muscles change with every movement, and the heart pumps blood harder every time you exert force.

All of this is like the strongest stimulant.

It's dizzying.

He looked at Killua, a smug smile appearing uncontrollably on his face.

"Jay!"

Killua's hoarse voice pierced Xiaojie's feeling that seemed like a bubble of fantasy, and a sharp pain came from his waist and abdomen.

This sudden incident prevented Xiaojie, who was still excited, from changing positions immediately.

The ant attacking him from behind seemed to realize this.

Faced with such a good opportunity, he raised his grappling hook again.

The shell-like claws flashed a faint light in the sunlight. Xiao Jie realized something was wrong and immediately squatted forward to avoid it.

It's just that the distance is too close, and it's almost impossible to avoid it.

Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed Xiaojie's arm and dragged him away from his previous position.

With the friction, drops of bright red fell onto the grass leaves.

The smell of rust quickly spread throughout the small area.

This makes the atmosphere in this area even more tense.

Killua clutched Gon's arm tightly, fear almost frozen on his face.

Xiaojie also realized his mistake.

This was definitely not his usual reaction.

Is it really affected after all?

Xiao Jie was a little annoyed. He controlled his muscle contraction and tried to stop the bleeding from the wound.

The pain came from the injured part in a thin and dense manner.

"It's okay, I'll take over next."

His voice barely changed, but the slight sense of suppression in his voice made Killua realize that Gon wasn't saying it as lightly as he said.

We can't let Xiaojie continue.

This idea was almost imprinted in Killua's mind at this moment.

So before Gon took action, Killua used electric current to increase his speed, almost turning into a silver shadow, flashing in the forest.

His movements are more precise, with almost no unnecessary movements.

Accurately taking the lives of these ants.

Amidst the flashes of lightning, the ants uttered tiny sounds of fear.

The bodies of the ants quickly stiffened and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

Xiao Jie showed a dotted-eyed expression, and he looked at the scene in a daze.

The excitement just now and the confusion caused by the sudden attack later all converged into a strong sense of shock at this moment.

"As expected of Killua."

The sense of shock quickly turned into admiration in Xiaojie's heart.

Killua's precise attacks and quick reactions made Gon involuntarily dazzled.

Unlike the ease that Gon felt, Killua could now feel an inexplicable sense of weakness in his body.

And a strong pull against consciousness.

'Escape.'

'It's dangerous.'

This voice appeared in his mind again, interfering with Killua's judgment.

Killua easily electrocuted the attacking ants to death again, but his hands were shaking uncontrollably at this time.

Gon noticed this and without thinking he rushed towards Killua.

Although it is not clear why Killua is like this, it is clear that he is abnormal.

That's almost telling the enemy.

Come and hit me.

I am very weak.

Xiaojie joined the battle. He tried his best to remain unaffected by the wounds and moved among the ants.

Each attack was done with all his might to intercept the ants that were attacking Killua.

There was still a distinct smell of blood on his body, but the force of his punches was enough to easily smash those heads.

The bluish-purple liquid covered his young face, forming an effect resembling a ghost face under the light and shadow of the forest.

And the white shadow behind him was clearly a harmless face as white as jade.

But it took their lives precisely.

"No!"

"Spare my life!"

The ants screamed and cried.

There were only two people in front of them, but they felt as if they were facing a dragnet.

There is nowhere to escape.

"Two."

The young man's voice came from near them, and Gon and Killua's eyes quickly focused on the source of the voice.

An ant that looked very much like a human was standing there.

The color of his face is very close to human skin color, and the proportions of his limbs look no different from those of ordinary humans.

"We're just trying to escape."

"I bumped into you guys by accident."

"No offense intended."

The humanoid ant raised its hands and spoke. Xiaojie noticed that unlike the mild smell he smelled, the ant maintained a fierce expression on its face.

The shape of the eyebrows is pressed down, and the corners of the mouth are pulled hard to the sides and downwards.

And the shape of the muscles that are almost fixed on the nose.

There was absolutely no variation when he spoke.

Xiaojie's gaze was so focused that the ant seemed to realize something.

“This is my natural expression.”

The ant's mouth opens and closes, but it does not affect the changes in its facial features at all.

There was a subtle reddish-brown tint on his raised hands.

"You eat people."

Killua said bluntly beside him, and he and Gon quickly entered a tense state.

Ant was slightly stunned, and then a tone full of apology and helplessness flowed from his throat.

"Sorry, but for us, humans are also on our food chain."

"Just like you would eat anything else."

That expressionless face now revealed a sense of apology that was almost human because of his earnest eyes.

Seeing this, Gon was slightly moved for a moment, but Killua didn't believe his statement at all.

“Back off!”

The ant shouted away an ant that was swaying behind the two of them.

Such behavior made Killua alert, and he looked at the ant sideways.

"Don't be so nervous."

Ant's tone was light. He looked at how tense Gon and Killua were and understood why they were so tense.

"I also said, we have to escape..."

"We won't let you leave."

Xiaojie suddenly interrupted Ant's subsequent words, his brown eyes fixed on the other's.

But Killua was a little confused when he heard what Gon said. Where these ants were going and whether they were escaping had nothing to do with them.

The reason we needed to catch ants before was to ask them to help force out the Yuan Ling.

Even if these ants get out, there will be people from the association to deal with them.

If there is no conflict, there is no need to force these guys to stay and increase the risk.

Xiaojie didn't explain why, his eyes were fixed on the talking ant.

The still childish face was now filled with murderous intent.
