Hunters are a special breed, dedicated to tracking down treasures, magical
beasts, and even other men. But such pursuits require a license, and less than
one in a hundred thousand can pass the grueling qualification exam. Those who do
pass gain access to restricted areas, amazing stores of information, and the
right to call themselves Hunters.
Having lost their queen, the Chimera ants are spreading beyond their native
homelands to establish their own colonies. Some attack Meteor City, and the
group of assassins following Gon, known as the Spiders, are called home to fend
off the invasion. Meanwhile, in the Republic of East Gorteau, Gon and Killua
realize that entire populations of towns are going missing. They decide to find
out what's happening and try to stop it, but Gon soon realizes he's not alone,
and whoever's following him is not friendly!
