Chapter 103 The Beginning
Chapter 306 Begin②
Dongba, although not amazing in appearance, started participating in the hunter test at the age of 10, and has participated in it 33 times in a row without landing a single test. He is truly a strange person.
The strange thing is not that I have participated 33 times, nor that I have not yet become a professional hunter after participating 33 times, but that I have participated 33 times and I am still alive and well.
In the past, Dongba always thought that this was because he had good eyesight. He could not only see clearly the opponents taking the exam together, but also avoid making trouble with those who were not easy to mess with. He could also seize any opportunity to stumbling against the rookies. Tomoe can see himself clearly - he has long understood that he is not the material to be a hunter at all, so he has never expected to pass the hunter test. In this case, of course he can wait and see the situation at any time in the dangerous and unpredictable exam, forever Stand in the safest position.
I just wanted to disgust the other candidates as much as possible. I never thought about winning, so how could I lose?
Dongba has always believed this. He was able to maintain an injury-free record in 33 exams because his mind was clear enough, his goals were clear enough, and he was cautious enough.
But when he met Madge's cold gaze, he suddenly realized that he was really wrong... He was able to survive the 33rd hunter test until now, not because of his good mind, but purely because of good luck.
The horrifying suffocation feeling, like a thousand needles piercing the heart, squeezed Dongba's heart tightly at this moment, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Dongba was so shocked by Ma Qi's look that his eyes were blind, his face turned blue, his whole body was trembling slightly, and he almost urinated on the spot... Jing Yang had no intention of stopping this, and Xiao Di didn't care at all. Bart La and the others didn't notice it at all. Only Kurapika noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He suddenly looked at the bottle of drink sent by Dongba in his hand. He saw that Jingyang and Xiaodi had no intention of drinking it. There was nothing else. understandable?
"Is there something wrong with this drink?" Kurapika frowned, "Is it poisoned?"
Alice was shocked and quickly put her and Batra's drinks on the ground and kicked them far away. Xiaopin and Xiaozi followed suit. Xiaozi kicked the two bottles of drinks away, and then turned around to see Leorio. With a stunned look on his face, the can in his hand had been crushed, and he had obviously been bored for a long time.
"I don't know." Madge threw the can of drink casually and said in a calm tone, "But the malice he showed when he served the drink was unmistakable."
"Are you malicious?" Xiaodi said, throwing away the drinks in her and Jing Yang's hands.
Dongba's eyes were dazed, his head was covered with cold sweat, and he staggered away.
Jing Yang looked at his back as if he was sleepwalking: "How can this kind of fear of riding a horse be as cruel as poisoning in public? At most it is a powerful laxative or something. If it is this kind of trick, you will not be fooled by it. It’s normal for people to intuitively think it’s malicious intent that deserves vigilance.”
Xiaodi has a star mark on her body, so even if it's rose poison, Jing Yang probably won't have much trouble. But whether laxatives are effective... Jing Yang is not interested in testing them anyway.
It was okay that he didn't say it. After he mentioned that it might be a powerful laxative, everyone looked at Leorio with extremely confused eyes. Leorio was sweating profusely and said awkwardly: "Yeah, it doesn't have to be a laxative..."
Who makes you drink in such a hurry? Even if you want to stop me, you can't even make an excuse.
Jing Yang held on hard and said slowly: "Anyway, the official competition will not start until noon tomorrow. Let's find a place to rest now to save some energy."
After all, it was a quite spacious venue. Jing Yang and the others randomly found a place and sat down together like they were camping. But not even ten minutes after he sat down, there was a strange sound in Leorio's abdomen that everyone could hear.
"Pfft..." Alice burst into laughter for the first time.
Leorio's face turned green as he held his stomach.
"I'm sorry..." Alice suppressed a smile and turned her head to rest on Batra's shoulder.
Leorio hurriedly rushed to the toilet... This kind of fun was also noticed by several other people, all of whom were experienced hunters in the hunter test. They all knew the name of Dongba's so-called rookie killer, and they were happy to watch the joke without saying a word. .
However, Dongba himself, who was supposed to enjoy this joke the most, seemed a little out of sorts. As if he had lost his soul, he staggered away and suddenly bumped into someone. When he looked up, he met the eyes full of the sharp temperament of a soldier and suddenly woke up.
The second prince's private guard picked up Dongba by his collar and threw him away. Several people dodged and allowed Dongba to fall to the ground and roll around several times. From beginning to end, the second prince Camilla did not even glance at Dongba.
Scatteredly, a dozen more candidates came in. By the time the clock reached 8pm, there were less than a hundred candidates gathered. The huge venue still seemed empty, occasionally echoing with Leorio's footsteps rushing to the toilet in a panic. Voice.
Late at night, all the candidates had taken a rest, and even the lights in the venue suddenly went out, making the entire venue dark.
Most of the candidates slept with their clothes on, leaning against the wall, lying on their sides on the ground, or spreading a thin blanket. But if you are an experienced person, you can tell from the sound of breathing that not everyone is really asleep.
The hunter test may not start until noon tomorrow, but the competition among the candidates begins silently after entering here, and they have to sleep with half an eye open.
Many candidates secretly cursed, the Hunter Association is so damn wicked, is it necessary to turn off the lights? Still think the candidates are not careful enough about each other? This is a dark place, surrounded by unfamiliar competitors. Who dares to rest at ease?
"I was really killed by that dwarf..."
Leorio muttered and came out of the toilet while holding on to the wall. Suddenly his eyes froze and he saw two figures walking furtively in the venue... Leorio adjusted his glasses and his expression suddenly changed. , suddenly turned around and rushed into the toilet.
As for the two sneaky figures, they moved lightly, like silent beasts under their feet. They moved in unison and quietly moved to the two people resting farthest from the crowd in the corner of the venue.
In the darkness, far or near, a pair of eyes opened, watching quietly.
The figures held each one down, covering the examinee's mouth and nose, and slit his neck. When they stopped struggling, the two figures quietly returned.
The dark venue was so quiet that the sound of breathing around him was like rolling thunder. Dongba's face was bitter, and his little body shrank into a ball. He closed his eyes tightly and dared not open them, let alone move his body.
What's going on? There are too many scary people among this year's candidates!
Kurapika looked away and closed his eyes again.
A breath that was both cold and hot hit my heart...
Jing Yang, who was wrapped in the same blanket as Xiao Di, opened one eye.
Total amount of thoughts: 20,000 qi
Death energy inventory: 6→7
Under such circumstances, Jing Yang had no intention of refining the death energy on the spot, so he left it alone for the time being.
Across the dark space, Jing Yang looked past the candidates who were really sleeping and pretending to be sleeping on the ground, and looked in the direction three hundred meters away. The second prince Camilla was stroking a palm-sized white kitten, always arrogant. A smile appeared on the indifferent face.
Nian beast?
Jing Yang focused his eyes and looked at the pocket white cat that the second prince was playing with for a while. Unexpectedly, the kitten seemed to sense it and turned to look back at Jing Yang, its little head tilted in confusion.
Jing Yang looked away and turned around to see, in the dimness, Madge's eyes staring at him intently.
Ignoring the former spider, Jing Yang tightened the thin blanket and continued to rest with his eyes closed against the drop.
…
Naturally, it was difficult to sleep in such an environment. Battra tilted her head and fell into Alice's arms, waking up with a start.
"Haha, if I hadn't practiced...cough, I would have lost half my life this night with my old bones." Batra yawned lightly and made a joke casually, realizing that the others had already woken up. .
Moreover, the venue became very lively at some point and was already packed with at least 200 people.
Jingyang folded his arms and was looking somewhere in the crowd of candidates with Xiaodi, Kurapika and others.
A tall man wearing a costume, with the number 144 on his chest, with flaming red hair, holding a playing card between his fingers, with two scars on his left and right cheeks extending to the base of his ears, smiling. He asked the examinee in front of him who had a rude face——
"Do you know...how I got this scar?"
