I am very interested in the ability to read

Chapter 319: The Sky is Wide and the Sea is Big③

Just like the canyon passage we came in from, there is also a canyon on the opposite bank of the Octagonal Lake, but now the exit is blocked by a newly built four-story hotel.

On the way to the other side, looking at the hotel from afar, Jing Yang and Xiao Di could feel that there were many eyes secretly watching them above and below the water... There was no doubt that they suddenly swam to the finish line, and they definitely had the smoke key with them. But until Jing Yang and Xiao Di reached the other side, no other candidates dared to show up in front of them and snatch their keys.

Instead, a breath that seemed both cold and hot penetrated into Jing Yang's heart.

  Death energy inventory: 19

Jing Yang glanced at the panel and came ashore with a body full of lake water. He participated in a hunter test, did nothing, and inexplicably accumulated so much dead energy. Who can he complain to?

I went ashore with Xiaodi, and my sweater became wet and heavy again. It was a bit uncomfortable to stick to my body. I still had an hour to go before I could use the bulge-eye fish...

  Jing Yang was thinking, why not give up on passing the exam this time, follow the wisdom of Master Dongba, and take the hunter exam every year to collect death energy for fun?

He glanced at the source of the death energy. The range of the death energy absorption had indeed expanded. When he was one and a half kilometers away from here and still swimming in the lake, he absorbed this death energy.

To the west of the hotel entrance, Hisoka was sitting on the body of a candidate whose head had been cut off in half. A piece of chewing gum was hanging from his left index finger, and a smoke key was attached to it, swinging on the pendulum.

Obviously, this candidate found a key as quickly as possible and wanted to rush into the hotel as soon as possible to avoid the terrifying monsters among the other candidates... Unfortunately, because a candidate like him entered the water too quickly, he didn't see that Hisoka didn't enter the water at all, and just squatted at the finish line...

Xiaodi looked at the entrance of the hotel. Mo Laowu was sitting on a recliner like an old man, with his huge pipe against the wall and another small pipe in his mouth, blowing smoke rings while basking in the sun...

Hisoka killed another candidate less than ten meters away. That candidate must have even asked for help from Mo Laowu who was nearby... Mo Laowu had apparently been basking in the sun and smoking, and was unmoved the entire time.

Xiaodi thought: This person smokes with such a small pipe?

"Aren't you guys going to play anymore?" Xi Suo stood up and said to Jing Yang with a smile.

"Just play around, be careful not to kill yourself." Jing Yang said, "Some people have already disappeared. I think the examiner is taking special care of those with Nen ability!"

He was talking to Hisoka, but his eyes were fixed on Mo Laowu who was smoking in the sun, "Could there be some hidden levels?" It was just like that on Greed Island before, they encountered some unlucky dice for no apparent reason and were kicked to all parts of the world.

Mo Laowu declined to comment.

"Hehe." Hisoka opened his mouth wide, obviously thinking of the experience on Greed Island.

Mo Laowu remained unmoved and continued to blow smoke rings.

Xi Suo raised his hand and the smoke key flew far towards the Bagua Lake and fell into the water silently. A figure could be vaguely seen passing by under the water. It was a candidate who had been staring at this side for a long time and took the opportunity to snatch the key thrown by Xi Suo.

"I want to play some more~" Hisoka took off his clothes as if no one was around and jumped into the water in an elegant posture.

  Is this the body that made Aunt Bi blush and bleed from her nose? Jing Yang curled his lips. It's just like that!

"Waiter, serve the food."

Jing Yang took Xiao Di with him in a swagger to find the old man Mo Laowu who was basking in the sun at the door.

Mo Laowu held a small pipe in his mouth: "Key."

Jing Yang turned over his palm and handed over three smoke keys.

Mo Laowu looked at the two of them and said, "Two will do."

Xiao Di asked: "Can I save one in advance?"

Jing Yang said: "There is also a guy named Kurapika, number 41, who is with us. We can't find him right now. If he comes up and doesn't have the key, this will be his."

"No." Mo Laowu said with a straight face, "You must come here in person with the key."

Xiaodi picked up the third key and threw it far into the Bajiao Lake behind him, at least five or six hundred meters away. Seven or eight figures were chasing the key under the water, waiting to grab it...

"Stingy!" Jing Yang and Xiao Di handed a key to Mo Lao Wu. Mo Lao Wu picked up the big pipe and tapped it lightly on the key.

The originally indestructible smoke suddenly dissipated, revealing a copper-yellow ordinary metal key in the palms of Jingyang and Xiaodi. Jingyang's key had the number 21 written on it, and Xiaodi's had the number 8 written on it.

"One key, one empty room." Mo Laowu glanced at Xiaodi, "Go in and rest by yourself. You can take a shower and change clothes in the room. If you are hungry, go to the restaurant by yourself, but you are not allowed to leave the door again."

"What will happen if it comes out?" Xiaodi asked.

"Not very good. The rooms you used will be sealed."

"Oh, if you want to come in again after coming out, you have to find a new key." Jing Yang said. Mo Laowu waved his hand, and Jing Yang and Xiaodi took the key and stepped into the hotel together.

……

Mo Laowu really didn't lie. This was indeed a temporary hotel. Rather than calling it a hotel, it was more like a resting place built by Mo Laowu himself for fishing in Bajiao Lake. The lobby on the first floor was filled with various fishing tackles, diving gear, and a research room for analyzing minerals and aquatic products...

The restaurant is on the first floor, but there are no waiters. It's all self-service. If you want to eat good, hot food, you have to make it yourself...

Jing Yang took the key and went up to the 3rd floor. Xiao Di's room was on the 2nd floor, and the two separated at the stairs.

Jing Yang found Room 21, unlocked the door, casually took off his wet clothes, and activated his transformation telepathic ability, Quick Wind, to transform the energy in his body into a strong wind... Well, in the state of suppressed telepathy, it was at most a light breeze that swirled and dried his wet shirt.

Taking out the Jia ring, Jing Yang activated the Moon Mark: [Kurapika, Kurapika, I heard your reply. ]

Still no response.

In fact, when the Moon Mark is activated, it can sense which Moon Mark is "online". Although Kurapika does not always wear the C-ring, it is too abnormal for him to disappear inexplicably now...

Lying down on the single bed, Jing Yang glanced at the panel.

  Death energy inventory: 19

If all of this dead energy is refined, he could probably increase his total mental energy from 7.2 to just over 9... However, there are 19 in total, and even if he refines them without eating or drinking, it will still take him ten days or half a month.

This is a slow and delicate job, and Jing Yang is not in a hurry.

  What's more, he is now in Men Qi's mind suppression state, and the Qi in his body is forcibly suppressed at 50. If he refines the dead Qi in this situation, what if Men Qi's mind suppression takes priority, and refining the dead Qi does not increase the amount of mind? Wouldn't he be at a great loss?

If I wait a little over 4 hours, my mind suppression will be almost lifted...

Jing Yang lay on the bed with his eyes closed. After a while, he used the Jiazi Jieyue logo to find Xiaodi to chat, but found that she was not online either.

Oh, yes, she was taking a shower and changing clothes, she definitely wouldn’t be wearing a Yi ring…

But Xiaodi's clean clothes are in the bulge-eyed fish... Well, it just so happens that her mind suppression is about to be lifted... But if the bulge-eyed fish can be used, Xiaodi can just suck the moisture out of the clothes, and there is no need to take a shower...

Jing Yang was resting in a half-asleep state, and suddenly opened his eyes.

An hour has passed. It's okay that Xiaodi stayed in her room and was too lazy to go out, but it's impossible that she didn't contact me at all. Why is there no movement from Yuebiao?

He sat up suddenly, and the Taoist nun's mind beast emerged from the floor.

Jing Yang activated the Moon Mark, but the Yi Zi Ring Moon Mark was still "offline".

Jing Yang rushed out of the door, jumped down the stairs in two steps, quickly found room 2 on the second floor, and banged on the door: "Xiao Di! Are you there?"

The Taoist nun's mind beast penetrated the ceiling and sneaked into Xiaodi's room before him. She walked around inside and opened the bathroom, but could not find Xiaodi's wet clothes, nor could she find Xiaodi.
