The possibilities inherent in Nen Abilities also gave Pyon the chance to achieve 'cross-species communication'.
The moment she pulled the ancient parchment from the dwarf-like humanoid creature's head, all that remained was the translation and interpretation process.
And with the Shadow World providing her with an absolutely quiet environment...
Moses felt the chances of success were high, and all he had to do was wait.
And Pyon didn't keep Moses waiting long. In just half a day, she successfully translated the contents of the ancient parchment.
As the conditions of her ability were met, the parchment dissolved into specks of light, slowly seeping into Pyon's head.
From this moment on, Pyon gained the ability to communicate with the dwarf-like humanoid creature on a basic level.
"Moses, it's done."
Pyon stood up from the ground and looked at Moses.
Hearing this, Moses's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded at Pyon. He then manipulated the creature to walk over.
Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Pyon and the creature began a rapid exchange of guttural, incomprehensible sounds.
Moses and the others naturally couldn't understand it. They just felt that the pronunciation of this unknown language is incredibly awkward, almost like random gibberish.
If it weren't for the power of Nen, it would have been impossible to communicate with such a species.
If V5 or the International Permit Agencies were to witness Pyon's ability to communicate with the creature, they would likely give it the highest level of attention.
After all, when it comes to exploring the Dark Continent, establishing a bridge of communication with another species was an achievement of the highest priority.
Soon-
Thanks to her real-time translation ability, Pyon gathered a fair amount of information from the creature.
Stopping the verbal exchange, she turned to the team and said seriously, "Its name is hard to pronounce even if it's translated literally, so let's just call it 'Little Green'."
"…"
Everyone fell silent after hearing this.
Kanzai even suspected that Pyon had come up with the 'hard-to-pronounce name' excuse just to satisfy her own whims.
But this kind of thing is not important, and no one cared.
Pyon then briefly summarized the information she had obtained from Little Green.
There are various dangerous creatures in the giant grassland where they are currently located, and each dangerous creature has a specific range of activities, indicating a strong sense of territoriality.
And the judgment of the danger level of those creatures is all based on Little Green's own understanding.
This meant that even though Little Green had the ability to erase its presence and hide its form, there were still many creatures in this grassland that could threaten its life.
As a result, after settling in one area, Little Green had no intention of expanding its 'territory'.
Because maintaining the status quo was enough to satisfy its survival needs.
In fact-
"This is the elimination zone. All creatures that have settled here, including Little Green, are forced to stay here because of their 'lack of ability'. Their main source of food is the grass blades that can be found everywhere."
"According to Little Green, the grass blades taste terrible, but they can provide all the nutrients their bodies need, and they also grow very fast, so there is no need to worry about not having enough to eat."
Pyon raised a finger, and emphasized one of the more important points in the information.
Hearing Pyon's words, Moses and the others' expressions grew serious.
If Moses were to assess Little Green's threat level to a human individual, he would give it an 'A-' rating.
But even a troublesome creature like Little Green was just a 'loser' in the 'survival of the fittest'...
This gave them a glimpse of the challenges that lay ahead.
"I asked Little Green, and it doesn't know anything about Nitro Rice. In its understanding and perception, there's no such thing as something that 'extends life'. However, it does know a path that can lead us out of here."
Pyon shared the final piece of information.
Little Green's 'survival competitiveness' is so weak that it can only live in a remote corner like a frog at the bottom of a well.
It wasn't that Little Green didn't want to jump out of the well, but for it, staying at the bottom was the only way to survive safely.
Therefore, trying to get information about other regions from such a 'loser' was basically impossible.
Although they failed to obtain any information about Nitro Rice, Moses wasn't disappointed.
He hadn't set his expectations too high in the first place, and besides, it's not like they had gained nothing.
According to Little Green, while this giant grassland was the last refuge for 'losers', there were still plenty of creatures more threatening than it.
How to cross this grassland became a pressing issue for the team.
But Little Green could guide them around these threats...
This would not only significantly reduce the danger they faced, but also ensure their progress.
Everyone silently digested the information provided by Little Green.
Only Kanzai kept glancing at Little Green, who had become docile under the effects of Kyoka Suigetsu, with a strange look in his eyes.
"So it's a vegetarian!"
Kanzai's face was full of amazement, as if he had discovered a new continent.
"…"
Hearing Kanzai's exclamation, the team's thoughts momentarily paused.
'Was that really the point???'
Pyon rolled her eyes. If she hadn't been planning to extract more information from Little Green, she would have definitely roasted Kanzai for his comment.
Moses shook his head slightly.
After the team took a short break, they would have Little Green lead them out of this giant grassland.
Half an hour later.
The team emerged from the Shadow World's passage.
3D Hisoka stood guard near the passage, and during that time, everything had been calm.
The creatures in the giant grassland had a strong sense of territoriality and wouldn't cross boundaries unless necessary.
After all, the grass blades everywhere were enough to meet their survival needs.
Therefore, as long as they stayed within Little Green's territory, they didn't have to worry about being attacked.
Unless a new outsider barged into the grassland and happened to stumble into Little Green's territory...
Before the team set off, Moses grabbed a handful of grass blades and threw them into the Shadow World, along with some soil.
He felt that these grass blades had great research value, and in his opinion, the soil might serve as a container for preserving Nitro Rice in the future.
Whether it would be useful or not was another matter, as it was just something he did on a whim.
Afterwards, Little Green, under the control of Kyoka Suigetsu, led the team to a spot covered with withered roots.
When the withered roots were lifted up, a dark and narrow hole was revealed.
The path Little Green had mentioned was actually an underground tunnel.
But it clearly wasn't suitable for humans.
Fortunately, Moses's Shadow World could solve this problem.
So, everyone returned to the Shadow World again, and Moses attached the Shadow World's passage entrance to Little Green. As for 3D Hisoka, it remained in a two-dimensional shadow form, ready to take action at any time.
And so, Little Green, carrying the Shadow World's passage, made its way through the narrow, silent tunnel.
Two days later.
Little Green finally emerged from the tunnel.
The exit was a crevice in a rock wall. Coming out of the crack, they can directly see a stream and sparse large trees.
Moses controlled the Shadow World's passage to stick to the rock wall. He was not in a hurry to come out, but let 3D Hisoka scout the area a few times.
After a safety check, Moses finally led everyone out of the Shadow World.
When they come outside, their gaze passed through the sparse trees, and they could still vaguely see the green of the giant grassland in the distance.
Having crossed the grassland so quickly and safely, Moses felt they had been lucky.
Little Green jumped onto the rock beside the stream and mumbled something in its strange language.
Moses couldn't understand and subconsciously turned his head to look at Pyon.
Pyon looked at Little Green's back and frowned slightly. Just as she was about to speak, her pupils suddenly contracted sharply.
Above the rock, Little Green's large head flew into the air silently.
"!!!"
The sudden scene made everyone enter a state of combat readiness in an instant.
Kanzai was even more decisive and stood directly in front of everyone.
At the next moment.
Without any visible movement or even the slightest Aura fluctuation...
Kanzai's body was suddenly covered in dozens of wounds, blood spraying out in crimson arcs.
"What…?!"
Kanzai's eyes widened, completely unaware of what had happened.
Even before his body started bleeding, he hadn't felt anything.
'Where on earth did the attack come from?!'
