Long Summary

The chapter opens with Zongeh's group being chased by a bunch of giant centipedes. Zongeh manages to kill a couple but more appear and they retreat. The focus then shifts to Toriko's group, with Coco complaining about Toriko's impatience. The two groups meet and after being asked how did he do. Zongeh brags about almost reaching the end. Coco observes around and sees assassins and bandits, all of them with death omens. The group then enters the dark cave and Coco starts thinking that the darkness will be good for Komatsu, as he will probably be more careful. Komatsu then hurries to see some ingredients, surprising Coco. They arrive at a fork and Toriko uses his sense of smell to find the right way. While moving forward, Toriko tells Komatsu about Coco's special eyes. They then encounter a cliff and Komatsu almost falls off. A big swarm of Scorpion Roaches then appear, devouring a Bishokuya that fell off from somewhere else. Coco then says he will go first and jumps down while taking off his turban. A dark stain then starts to spread through Coco's skin and the Roaches quickly get some distance from him. Toriko then explains that they could detect the danger from the poison inside Coco's body.
