Hunter x Hunter: Pokémon Master, the World's Strongest

Chapter 4: Sad? Ape! (4/, looking for data)

After listening to Sachi's explanation, Link didn't know what to say.

Someone who hasn't passed the Hunter exam yet.

Inexplicably, I became a two-star relic hunter and a one-star bounty hunter...

This can be considered as breaking the record of the Hunter Association, right?

There aren't many people in the entire Hunter Association who hold a title of this caliber, are there?

……

While Link and Zac were chatting, Gon and the others who were running obediently behind them also officially got to know Killua.

Leorio was panting with exhaustion, and his mature, uncle-like face was covered in sweat.

Suddenly, a silver-haired kid appeared from the side, wearing a skateboard.

This leisurely attitude hurt Leorio who was running hard.

"Hey! Kid, what are you doing? Why did you bring a skateboard in? You're cheating!"

Leorio was furious and pointed at Killua and shouted.

"Huh? That guy in front is riding a dog, why don't you say anything to him?"

Killua said this nonchalantly, using Link as an example to refute Leorio.

"This..." Leorio didn't know what to say. He also wanted to know where Link's dog came from.

Seeing this, Xiaojie on the side quickly came out to ease the atmosphere:

"The examiner just asked us to follow him. He didn't ask us not to use tools."

Gon's explanation attracted Killua, and the two gay friends officially became acquainted.

……

Inside the underground tunnel.

As the first test progressed, more and more people began to lose their strength and dropped out of this long-distance race that tested their endurance.

The remaining candidates were also in poor condition. Most of them were like hard-working oxen, constantly gasping for breath and almost reaching their physical limits!

The entire dim venue was filled with the sound of chaotic footsteps, as everyone was too tired to speak.

Now, every bit of their physical strength is extremely precious!

An extremely long marathon is certainly difficult, but what is more challenging is people's will.

In the absence of information about how far or how long we have to run, every step we take is a test!

The pitch-black tunnel was like an upside-down bowl, trapping them tightly inside, and everyone's mood sunk to the bottom.

And this is even just the first exam!

It's no wonder that only one or two people can pass the hunter exam in every session.

This is an extremely shocking elimination rate, and these exams are extremely difficult for ordinary people!

Finally, in the exhausted eyes of the candidates, they came to a long staircase, and above the staircase was a brightly lit finish line!

As the candidates crossed the last step, they collapsed to the ground as if they had survived a disaster.

His chest was like a large blower, constantly gasping for air. His hands and feet were already numb, as if standing up was a luxury.

A small number of people with strong physical fitness can maintain a standing posture to rest, instead of falling directly to the ground.

They can also maintain basic alertness and not be careless even when passing the first test, but secretly observe the surrounding environment.

After a long run through the tunnel, what appeared before everyone's eyes was an endless wetland.

There was a wide range of fog not far away, which prevented them from seeing the scenery behind them.

Hidden behind the fog are deadly crises one after another!

After a while, seeing that the time was up, Saci glanced at the crowd of people who were talking and said calmly:

"The first exam is up. Those who arrive here later will not be counted as qualified."

Following Saci's order, the huge stone gate connecting the wetland and the underground tunnel sank rapidly until it was completely closed.

"Hey, wait for me!"

There were even a few unlucky guys who were about to climb over, but failed in the end.

However, even if such a person can pass the first exam, the probability of passing the subsequent ones is slim.

"This place is called the Shimeilu Wetlands, and it's also known as the 'Swindler's Nest'."

"Every animal and plant encountered there is extremely skilled at setting traps and luring creatures."

"They are cunning creatures by nature and often prey on humans. Please be careful!"

"This is the only way to the next venue. If you are deceived, you will die! So everyone must follow me closely."

Saci calmly explained the precautions, and the expressions of the candidates around him became more solemn.

Only Leorio wanted to complain:

"You must be kidding! How could anyone fall for that when they know those creatures are trying to trick you?"

Just then, a shout came from the corner next to him.

"Don't believe him! He's a liar!"

A man with brown hair, red clothes and intentional injuries on his face walked out trembling.

He was holding an unconscious monkey in his hand and pointed at Saci who had a calm expression and shouted loudly.

"He's an imposter, I'm the real examiner!"

"Look carefully! The creature in my hand is a human-faced ape that is unique to the Shimele Wetlands!"

"Take a good look at this guy, doesn't he look exactly like it?"

……

As a very representative creature in the Shimele Wetland, the anthropomorpha naturally has the same characteristics as other creatures - it is good at camouflage.

This is different from other creatures that camouflage themselves through the environment, such as pretending to be fruit trees or grass.

With their natural abilities, the anthropomorphic ape can disguise themselves as humans, thereby deceiving those who find it difficult to distinguish.

After hearing what the ape said, the candidates began to discuss and have different opinions, some supporting different sides.

"Could that person be the real examiner?"

"I think what this person said makes sense! Don't these two look so much alike?"

A certain bald ninja and Leorio thought the same thing...

Sasi and Link remained silent, watching the two apes perform as if they were watching a show.

What Saci thought was that he could use this opportunity to let the candidates understand more thoroughly that the reputation of "the nest of scammers" was not undeserved.

Link thought that this human-faced ape really looked like Saci...

He really wanted to laugh...

Chapter 65: The Terror of the Swindler's Lair! (Last chapter before release, thank you for your support)

"Hahahahaha...Sachi, this human-faced ape really looks like you!"

Link patted Saci's shoulder and teased him with a hearty laugh.

He really couldn't hold it in any longer. The sight of this human-faced ape pretending to be unconscious and even sticking out half of his tongue was truly hilarious.

The possibility of them growing so similar is too low. I think it must be that the anthropoid has the ability to change its appearance to a certain extent.

It is highly likely that this human-faced ape deliberately changed its appearance to resemble Saci.

Looking at Link who was laughing, Saci held his forehead helplessly, not knowing what to say.

This human-faced ape is really good at imitating appearance.

To be honest, looking at the face that was almost exactly like his own, Saci himself had an indescribable weird feeling.

The reaction between the two caught the attention of the fake examiner, who opened his mouth quickly, seemingly thinking of saying something.

Before he could say anything, two playing cards suddenly stabbed at him.

In an instant, his eyes rolled back, he stopped breathing, and fell straight back.

On the other hand, Saci on the other side held several playing cards firmly in his hand.

The strength of the two is clearly different!

Hisoka leaned back slightly, standing proudly in the crowd, his hands deftly shuffling the playing cards, making a rustling sound.

"It seems like this is the real examiner!"

"After all, he's an examiner appointed by the Hunter Association. He shouldn't be unable to handle a few playing cards."

Hisoka narrowed his seductive eyes and spoke in a pretentious manner.

Saci threw away a few playing cards and responded without changing his expression:

"I'll take this as a compliment from the candidate, but I still want to remind you."

"Forget it this time, but if you do the same thing next time, I will treat it as an attack on the examiner and disqualify you from the exam."

"Good good."

Hisoka put away the shuffled playing cards and replied nonchalantly, glancing at Link next to Satsuki, wondering what he was thinking...

Link suddenly remembered that what Hisoka said was not directed at the wrong person. If he remembered correctly, Hisoka had attacked the examiner in the last Hunter Exam.

It seems that the examiner was too arrogant?

Just as Link was thinking, another human-faced ape who pretended to be unconscious saw that the matter was exposed.

Without caring too much, he just jumped up and ran away desperately.

A few moments later, a large group of vultures flew over and took the ape killed by the playing cards as their food for the day.

"Although I understand that this is the law of nature, it seems a bit too cruel..."

Leorio wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, staring at the scene in a daze, and muttered softly.

After the lesson on the ape disguise, all the candidates present felt that the name "the nest of fraudsters" was not undeserved.

They all put on their best efforts in their hearts and strengthened their belief that they must follow Saci closely!

Otherwise, the current ape will have the same fate as them later!

After glancing around, Saci suddenly took a step forward.

"Please follow me closely!"

Seeing that the examiner had already set off, the candidates didn't care whether they had had enough rest or not. They all put on a tense face and gritted their teeth to keep up with Saci's pace.

You can take a break at any time. If you lose Sachi, there is only one outcome for the candidates who are mostly ordinary people - death!

Link was still riding his Arcanine leisurely beside Satsuki.

Perhaps because of Arcanine's intimidating nature, Link found that none of the creatures in the Shimele Wetlands dared to approach him.

If the mist was removed, people would find that the monsters were deliberately avoiding Link and the other two leading them.

Rushing madly to both sides towards the unsuspecting candidates behind!

Link and Sachi took advantage of the situation and headed straight for the second venue without any obstruction.

Others may not have such a comfortable experience...

As the team went deeper into the wetlands, the fog around them became thicker and thicker, and gradually more and more people fell behind.

"Huh? What is this? How can there be such a big strawberry?"

One candidate exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the strawberry fruits swaying in the mist.

The strawberry in front of him was as big as a human head, which the man had never seen before.
