Seeing this, Eligi smiled: "Don't worry, we won't let you die easily, but you should also be prepared to encounter danger at any time. We might really have to give up on you then."
Ino laughed after hearing this: "Then it's a deal."
After they finished speaking, they smiled at each other and then got busy searching the village for any surviving villagers. The result was similar to their guess; there was no trace of any villagers.
Ino's expression also turned serious, and he asked Eliji, "Eliji, now that you've subdued these magical beasts, can you have them lead us to their lair?"
Eliji shook his head and replied, "No, I've already tried it, and it didn't work at all. It's getting dark now, so let's find a place to rest first, and we can talk about the exploration tomorrow."
Ino glanced at the sky; it was already getting dark, and the visibility around them was decreasing rapidly, making it unsuitable to continue the exploration.
"That's all we can do," Ino muttered.
Soon, night fell, and the group settled down in the village.
Ino looked out the window at the night sky, lost in thought, and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak—" The chirping of small animals came from the surrounding woods and fields.
Ino picked up her phone, hesitated for a moment, and finally pressed the send button. Then she stomped the phone to pieces and kicked the broken phone under the bed.
After finishing together, Ino breathed a sigh of relief and went to bed to sleep peacefully.
The next day, before dawn, Ino woke up with a start and listened carefully; it sounded like fighting outside.
Ino hurriedly got up and put on her shoes. As she looked down, she couldn't help but glance at her phone, which had been trampled on yesterday. Finally, she looked away, got up, and went to the door to listen to the sounds outside.
After the sounds of fighting subsided, Ino hurriedly opened the door and peeked out, only to find that Eligi and his group were sparring. She breathed a sigh of relief.
The sounds of fighting turned out to be Eligi and his group practicing, not what Ino had thought—that they were being attacked by monsters.
After letting out a sigh of relief, Ino straightened her clothes, opened the door and went out: "Ailiji, you guys are really early."
"Did I disturb you?" Eligi said apologetically.
"It's alright. Seeing you all like this makes me feel safer," Ino said with a smile.
After chatting for a bit, the two packed their things. Today they were sending Ino's two companions away from NGL, so they weren't going to do any exploration missions.
So the group chose to return the way they came, and everything went smoothly without any unexpected incidents.
In the end, Ailiji had Aji safely return the two to the starting point, and Ailiji and his group packed up and prepared to set off again.
Because they had to take care of Ino, an ordinary person, the group of people, including Eliji, did not travel very fast.
The group traveled along the way, stopping frequently, and eventually settled down by a river.
"What a pity. NGL truly lives up to its reputation as a protected area; it has so many rare animals," Ino couldn't help but sigh.
Along the way, we encountered many rare animals, and even a monster with deep red skin that looked somewhat like a human.
At that time, the monster seemed to sense the powerful aura of Eligi and his group, so it did not approach but turned and left.
"Don't worry, there will be opportunities for you to film properly, Ino," Eligi comforted her from the side.
So the group decided to rest by the river and wait until the sun wasn't so scorching before continuing their journey.
During their rest, Eligi took Hinata on a patrol around the area, having Hinata use her Byakugan to check for any dangers within a three-kilometer radius.
To everyone's surprise, a group of people dressed in white were slowly approaching.
This should be the protector of NGL, or even the military.
The leader was clearly a woman, accompanied by a tall man; the group was a small team of fourteen people.
Everyone was holding submachine guns and moving around.
Seeing this, Ailiji took the initiative to go forward and block the group's path, because if they got any closer, they would be near their camp.
Eligi and his group were relatively unharmed by the submachine guns, but it was a different story for Ino, an ordinary person.
"Who are you? Don't you know that NGL is a protected area where high-tech items are not allowed? What you are carrying is enough to warrant the death penalty in NGL," Eligi asked, feigning ignorance.
The woman facing them was named Sheena. When she heard Eligi's question, she was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "You have quite a few contraband items on you too, and you still have the nerve to talk about us here."
"Alright, why waste time talking to you guys? Just arrest them and interrogate them. You must be illegal immigrants."
"Ha, interesting. Let's test the power of the Nen Beasts I just obtained with you." Eligi summoned the Nen Beast Collection, and then summoned the more than twenty Chimera Ants he had collected yesterday.
Upon seeing the sudden appearance of more than twenty chimera ants, Sheena's team felt a slight panic; it was the first time they had ever witnessed such magic, summoning monsters out of thin air.
Sheena was stunned for a moment when she saw this, but quickly said in a cold voice, "Don't panic, just fire."
As she spoke, Sheena fired first. With the machine gun fire of "dedede", more than a dozen bullet holes appeared on the body of the two thousand multi-headed chimeras, some of which went straight through the chimeras' bodies.
But these bullet holes did not stop the Chimera Ants from moving forward. Two thousand Chimera Ants charged forward under the command of Eligi.
Finally, after sacrificing seven chimera ants, they managed to charge into the firing crowd and knocked down more than a dozen people in just a few shots.
They're fine when they keep their distance, but once they get close, these people are no match for the Chimera Ants.
"Who are you? Do you even know who we are?" The leader, Xina, was restrained, but she continued to shout. She was clearly defiant.
Having been subdued by a group of outsiders on his own turf, how could he possibly face Zaiyiluo when he returned?
Eligi ignored the shouting Sheena, jumped down from the tree, and then looked at the chimera ants that had been killed.
After collecting their blood, the Nian Beast Collection re-materialized the corpses into cards.
"If it can be reused, then I can control an army of Chimera Ants that never die!" Eligi thought to himself.
It's exciting to think about, but I don't know if these Chimera Ants can awaken Nen. If not, there are too many of them, and they can't even defend against human firearms. So, they won't be of much use.
"Hey, can't you hear me?" Sheena shouted, clearly very unhappy that Eligi was ignoring her.
