It can eliminate murderous intent and calm the body.
Coupled with the extremely sharp arm blade and lightning speed.
It can be imagined how dangerous this dwarf-like humanoid creature is.
What was surprising was that there was a second one of these creatures in the area.
If the second creature hadn't leaked a trace of its presence before attacking Hisoka, Moses might not have reacted in time.
As for why it leaked its presence?
It's probably due to emotional agitation.
After all, one of its kind had just had its arms severed and was wailing in pain...
Moses could only lean toward this explanation.
Regardless, the important thing was that both of them were unharmed.
Moses glanced at the dead dwarf-like humanoid creature on the ground but didn't dismiss his black sword. Instead, he focused his attention on the other dwarf-like humanoid creature, which was still wailing in agony.
He would never let down his guard until Kyoka Suigetsu was activated.
After the 'false alarm', Hisoka was very sensitive to the killing intent from the dwarf-like humanoid creature, and to be on the safe side, he added a few more strands of Bungee Gum on it.
With that, the dwarf-like humanoid creature, which now deprived of its arm blades by Moses, was completely incapacitated. It could only stand in place, wailing and screaming, while its killing intent was growing even more intense.
Hisoka saw this scene, and still thought it would be better to kill it as soon as possible.
However, since Moses had other plans, he decided not to interfere and stood silently to the side.
While Moses kept his eyes on the black tendrils spreading across the creature's body, he controlled the shadow clone to call the rest of the team over.
After a while-
The others arrived at the scene and saw a dwarf-like humanoid creature, which is in a very violent mental state, and a corpse lying not far away.
They looked closely at the native creature of the Dark Continent in front of them, and a strange look flashed across their eyes.
It was such a small creature with hazy Aura floating all over its body, but it was able to easily destroy Moses's shadow clone in the first attack without leaving any trace.
"Why not kill it?"
Kanzai could clearly feel the creature's intense killing intent.
In his view, keeping something like this alive offered no real benefit.
But Biscuit realized what Moses was trying to do and was surprised.
'I had thought that Moses's Manipulation-Type Ability, which he used back in Greed Island, only worked on humans. But now it seemed it could also affect creatures from the Dark Continent?'
'Or perhaps-'
'This dwarf-like creature fell within the category of 'human'?'
Biscuit was inwardly shocked and looked at Moses for confirmation.
Moses noticed Biscuit's questioning gaze and nodded. Then, he turned to Kanzai and calmly said, "I want to see if we can extract some information from it."
"What?!"
Kanzai thought he had misheard Moses and his face was full of disbelief.
Hisoka rested his chin on his hand, his usual half-smile playing on his lips.
Except for Biscuit, the others were also somewhat surprised.
Moses ignored Kanzai's reaction and turned his gaze to Pyon.
Seeing this, Pyon instantly understood Moses's intention.
She is a Paleograph Hunter and a linguist, if she can successfully decipher the language of the dwarf-like humanoid creature, it means that a basis for communication can be established between the two species.
In this way, they can find a way to obtain some information about the surrounding environment and even their location from this creatures.
"I can give it a try, but there's no guarantee of success."
Before Moses could speak, Pyon spoke up first.
Seeing that Pyon had guessed his intentions, Moses didn't need to explain further. He just nodded and said, "That's fine. Just do your best."
"Okay."
Pyon gave Moses a playful smile.
Then, as she turned her gaze to the dwarf-like humanoid creature, her smile faded, replaced by a cold expression.
Ssshh-
Aura flowed out from her body and quickly gathered on her dominant hand.
Seeing this, everyone's eyes were drawn to Pyon.
Pyon stared coldly at the creature.
[Passage of Time]
Suddenly, she thrust her right hand, which is now enveloped in a swirling Aura, straight into the creature's head.
This action slightly startled everyone present.
Even Moses reflexively raised an eyebrow when he saw this scene.
This might have been the first time he'd seen Pyon use her Nen Ability.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Pyon's expression remained cold, even showing a hint of disgust. Then, her right hand twisted and turned inside the creature's head.
This action did not cause any harm to the dwarf-like humanoid creature.
After about four or five seconds-
Pyon suddenly pulled her arm back.
Everyone immediately looked over and saw that Pyon was now holding an ancient piece of parchment with many cuts on the corners.
Meanwhile, the creature continued to wail and struggle, looking unaffected.
"This 'medium' is incredibly ancient. It seems the difficulty of deciphering it will be quite high."
Pyon looked down at the parchment covered in chaotic, tadpole-like script, and was not surprised by this result.
After all, the 'target' of her [Passage of Time] was a native creature of the Dark Continent...
As a human, fact that she could even create an opportunity for 'communication' between the two species was already bordering on the fantastical.
But this was also the most remarkable aspect of Nen Abilities.
Shizuku glanced at the parchment in Pyon's hand and asked curiously, "What is that?"
"An ancient script that you'll never understand in your lifetime."
Pyon replied casually, then looked at Moses and said quickly: "Moses, I need a quiet environment."
"Understood."
Upon hearing this, Moses immediately used his Aura to create the passage to the Shadow World.
The team, along with the dwarf-like humanoid creature, entered the Shadow World, and the rustling sounds of the grass blades swaying in the wind were instantly cut off.
Before closing the entrance, Moses left 3D Hisoka outside.
Throughout this journey to the Dark Continent, the shadow clone's 'mine-clearing guidance' had been a tremendous asset to the exploration.
Now stationed near the Shadow World's passage, they could also serve as a 'cannon fodder' to provide an early warning.
In the Shadow World.
Pyon began deciphering the ancient parchment.
As long as she could use her vast knowledge of ancient scripts to find even a sliver of possibility, she might be able to complete the decoding process and grasp part of the creature's language.
While Pyon worked on deciphering the ancient language, the tendrils on the creature's body finally completed their growth cycle and formed the Eye of Sight.
Kyoka Suigetsu, activated.
The creature immediately quieted down, no longer struggling or howling.
Hisoka noticed this and narrowed his eyes.
He realized something, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Moses glanced at Hisoka, but he didn't pay it much mind.
'Pyon's [Passage of Time] is the first condition, and using Kyoka Suigetsu to control the dwarf-like humanoid creature is the last condition in 'extracting information'.'
'Perhaps-'
'This unknown creature before them will become the first piece of the puzzle for them to truly come into contact with the Dark Continent.'
'If we could extract information about Nitro Rice, that would be even better.'
Moses silently thought to himself.
He is burdened with a shackle called 'time'.
Because he didn't know when that 'moment' would arrive, the sooner he finds the Nitro Rice, the better.
