  We show that a bumpy closed Riemannian manifold $(M^{n+1}, g)$ $(3 \leq n+1
\leq 7)$ admits a sequence of connected closed embedded two-sided minimal
hypersurfaces whose areas and Morse indices both tend to infinity. This
improves a previous result by O. Chodosh and C. Mantoulidis on connected
minimal hypersurfaces with arbitrarily large area.
