The squad demands one-on-one fights, to which Gon, Killua, and Kite agree to. Heading deeper into the Ant territory, the group is ambushed by Hagya's Squad. Gon fights the Centipede and defeats him using Janken: Scissors, with Kite giving the fatal blow, Killua fights Mosquito and kills her, and Kite kills Yunju. Kite, realizing the evil intent, tells Gon and Killua to kill them. Heading forwards, the trio reach a D² factory, where they are attacked by Yunju's squadron. Since Rammot was severely damaged, Colt comes-having watched from the shadows-to retrieve him. After many clashes, Gon and Killua use their Nen abilities to defeat Rammot. They use Nen, but the Ant still overwhelms them. Kite orders Gon and Killua to fight him to ensure that they were strong enough to handle other Ants. They enter a village, and are confronted by Rammot. He allows Gon and Killua to accompany him, though. Kite, reading Ponzu's message, realizes that the Ant infestation was more severe than expected, ordering Podungo and Stick to return and notify the Hunter Association. Before this happened, she managed to use her bees to send a message to the nearest Hunter, which happened to be Kite, about the Chimera Ant infestation. Zazan takes Pokkle alive, but Ponzu manages to escape, only to be killed by one of Zazan's officers. However, before they can do that, they are ambushed by Zazan's squad. Their group is attacked by the Ants on their journey, so they retreat to inform the Hunter Association.

With Ponzu, Balda, and Pekuba, the group enters NGL to investigate the Chimera Ants. This infestation catches the attention of Pokkle, a Hunter of Fantastic Beasts. Īfter hunting more humans, the Chimera Ants move to a rock formation more inland, and Chimera Ant populations grow faster than ever. Finding the human species to be highly delicious and nutritious, she orders her soldiers to hunt more of them, as well as giving birth to the first humanoid Ant, Colt. The crab-like soldier Ant hunts two children, and the Queen eats them. She orders the soldier Ants to bring food. The Queen feeds herself more and gives birth to some soldier Ants. Meanwhile, on the Yorbian Continent in the south of the Balsa Islands an injured Chimera Ant Queen was left ashore and was trying to heal so that she could give birth to the King.

Only 5 of them manage to actually enter the country due to the harsh, anti-technological policies (Gon, Kite, Killua, Stick, and Podungo). On the journey there, Kite explains the Chimera Ants' unique way of reproduction, phagogenesis, and ponders in horror the consequences of a Chimera Ant infestation in NGL. Returning to Yorknew City, they inspect a map, and theorize that the Queen may be located in NGL, the neo-luddite nation. Killua asserts that the Ant must be over 2m long, enough to easily eat a human. The group surveys a shore to find the Ant queen, but to no avail. The group then discusses a Chimera Ant leg found on the Balsa Islands. He explains his mission to do a biological survey and returns to his group. Kite also tells Gon that he was finally able to find Ging. Both Gon and Killua are left in awe by the revelation that Ging is a Double-Star Hunter who can also qualify to become a Triple-Star Hunter. They enjoy eating dinner while Kite tells stories of his life with Ging. He tells him he has been on Greed Island on Ging's request, and that Gon's use of 'Accompany' instead of ' Magnetic Force' caused him to meet Kite and not Ging, who wanted to make sure Gon and him would be alone if they were to meet. The Nigg they were sent to is revealed to be Kite, Gon's savior when he was attacked by a Foxbear back on Whale Island. Upon approaching Nigg, they are attacked by the latter, but it turns out that they were actually saved from being attacked by Chimera Ants. Kite, Gon, and Killua eating and talking around a campfireĪfter Gon and Killua use an ' Accompany' card to meet Ging or 'Nigg', so they are transported to the Kakin Empire, a country in Azian Continent.
