Chapter 370 The opening salute

The candidates who completed the assigned tasks first did not sit idle, but consciously participated in the slow-moving work. With the joint efforts of all the candidates, the preparation work was successfully completed before dark.

At this time, thick dark clouds covered the sky, and the afterglow of the setting sun penetrated the thick clouds and sprinkled onto the rough sea, showing a trace of tenacity and stubbornness.

The wind blowing from the sea gradually strengthened, and the trees on the island swayed with the wind and made a "rustling" sound. The gradually increasing sound of the wind seemed to be counting down, urging the candidates to hurry up.

As the time for the tornado approached, the candidates who went out successfully completed the assigned work and returned one after another. Bao Kuer and Peng Si, who were in charge of the engine and main gun power transmission circuit, sent back a message that the engine had successfully started and the transmission circuit had been turned on.

Kurapika, who was in the command room of the warship, held a microphone and used the ship-wide broadcast to inform the other candidates:

"Attention all ships, before the arrival of the tornado, the ship will take advantage of the rising tide and when the buoyancy reaches its highest point, that is, when the tide reaches its highest point 10 minutes later, all the main guns will be fired together to destroy all the rocks blocking the ship. , At the same time, with the full power of the main power steam engine, back out at full speed and get out of this sea area as soon as possible, please stick to your respective positions and complete your work."

After clarifying the follow-up plan, Kurapika looked up at the clock hanging on the wall: "Then... let's adjust the time together, the countdown to combat operations...start!"

Candidates for each position reported the situation one after another, and there was no abnormal situation for the time being, and the plan was progressing smoothly.

The shells were loaded one after another, the turret turned quickly, and loud artillery fire roared across the sea, pieces of rocks were smashed by the shells, and the flames of the explosion were fleeting in the howling wind, and the high-speed rotating propellers pushed the warship to move quickly , away from the reef-strewn bay.

It's a pity that it hit a rock during the movement, causing the ship to vibrate violently. Kurapika in front of the rudder was thrown out by the vibration, and was caught by Mu Yang before hitting the wall.

"Be careful!" Mu Yang let go of the five fingers holding Kurapika's clothes, letting him fall freely.

"It hurts~" Kurapika, who didn't expect Mu Yang to let go suddenly, fell directly to the ground, and there was a "boom" in the room.

"Are you okay?" Mu Yang looked down at Kurapika who was slowly getting up from the ground.

"It's okay, thank you for catching me, but I hope you can say something before letting go." Kurapika rubbed some parts that hurt a little from the fall, and at the same time ran to the rudder quickly, grabbing the spinning rudder , to stabilize the tilting warship.

After a long period of struggle, a group of people successfully tided over the difficulties.

Dawn broke, the weather was calm, and the association's airship appeared in the sight of the candidates.

After landing on the deck of the warship, the examiner who came out of the airship was very familiar. It was the examiner of the third test——Lieber.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate everyone for passing this test. There is only the fourth and last test left in the Hunter test. I am honored to be in charge of the fourth test."

As he said that, Mu Yang snapped his fingers, and a beautiful woman came slowly pushing a cart, on which there was a lottery box.

"I would now like to ask everyone to draw lots first."

Candidates were a little puzzled when they heard the words, and doubtful words rang out in the crowd.

"Put as many cards as there are in this one, and now draw a card in the order in which you escaped from the trap tower."

As soon as Lieber's voice fell, the beautiful woman next to him announced: "Mr. Hisoka please smoke first..."

Candidates lined up to draw cards one by one and listened quietly to the examiner announcing the rules of the test.

"Now the card you draw should have a number on it, and that number, in simple terms, is the test number of the candidates currently present, and the lot you draw determines... the hunter and the hunted. "

After the candidates digested what he said earlier, Lieber continued: "Simply speaking, the theme of the fourth test is for you to take each other's number plates, so the candidates represented by the numbers on the cards you are looking at , is your goal.”

All the candidates had different expressions when they heard the words, some were smiling, some were serious...

"Now the number cards you have drawn, I have recorded them here, which means that the cards you have drawn can be dealt with by yourself."

The voice of the beautiful assistant came to the candidates' ears, and some candidates took off the number plates worn on their chests, and put the cards in their pockets.

"As I said just now, if you want to capture the number plate of the target, you must get a card with six points if you want to pass the fourth test." Lieber examiner continued to explain the test rules.

"Six o'clock...what do you mean?" Hanzo crossed his arms and asked a question.

Lieber explained: "In the fourth test, each card has a different number of points, that is to say, the target number card decided by the lottery just now is... three points, and the examinee's own number card is also... three points. Simply put, it was successfully captured. The target's number plate can also protect your own number plate, and the fourth test will be considered a pass."

"By the way, you can get one point by capturing the number plates other than the target. Of course, it doesn't matter if you get six points in this way. We will stay on the guard island for a week. The venue is the whole guard island. No matter what method you take, As long as you can collect six points from the pass number plate."

After explaining the rules, Lieber planned to leave, and told his assistant, "Okay, Carat, I'll trouble you for the rest."

"Yes." The beauty called Carat said to the candidates with a slightly excited tone: "Next, I want to tell you a piece of good news. All the candidates present will be unconditionally promoted if they take the hunter test next year. The first level test, so even if you fail this time, you can still challenge again next year."

However, the expressions of the examinees were... expressionless, as if to say that this is some good news.

Candidates who have broken through many barriers only think about passing the final test and obtaining a hunter's license. They don't think about failure at all. After all...how can they be timid before fighting!

"This group of people is really not easy..." Carat was speechless for a few seconds, and then explained the rest, "There are still two hours to go..."

After the explanation, the examinees relaxed and rested according to their favorite ways, preparing for the test two hours later.

The previous friendly atmosphere had disappeared, and an atmosphere of mutual alert enveloped the warship. Mu Yang was also sitting alone on the railing on the edge of the warship, looking at the blue sky and listening to the sound of the waves.

"One week...it's a bit long!"

The time limit for the previous tests was close to a week, and the time limit for the fourth test was directly one week, and a hunter test actually took about half a month.

"I kind of want to end the exam early..."

The words that did not contain any emotions dissipated in the wind, while the other examinees around the warship felt inexplicably cold, as if being blown by an extremely cold wind.

"What's going on?" Leo Li rubbed his arms vigorously, turned his head left and right to look around, what was the chill that emerged from the bottom of his heart?

Qi Ya looked at the raised pimples on the surface of his arms, and the hairs rose up one by one, which was the body's instinctive reaction when a chill appeared in his heart.

Slowly curling up his body, Qiya hugged his arms, and the instructions engraved in his consciousness by Ilmi emerged, tending to keep him away from here.

Xiaojie looked back suddenly, the feeling of being targeted by the top predator was fleeting.

Hisoka, who put a playing card on the card tower, froze, his arms hung in the air, his breathing became rapid, his pupils contracted, and he seemed to be very excited.

Murderous aura... leaked a little uncontrollably.

Candidates who were closer to Hisoka felt that they were being stared at by a beast again, that feeling of being on their backs.

The face of Yi Ermi, who was alone, squirmed, like a bullet fired from the chamber, and the needle shot in all directions...

Yiermi, who had recovered her original appearance, did not rush to change her appearance, but looked backward...that was where Mu Yang was.

In his impression, among the examinees present, only two had such a strong aura, one was Hisoka he knew, and the other was a stranger with the ability to read.

What is that guy up to? !

Yiermi, who had changed his face again, went to Qi Ya's location, just in case, he decided to stay by his brother's side.

At the same time, the rest of the candidates reacted to this one after another, some with a big reaction, and some with a small reaction.

"Sure enough, forget it..." Mu Yang gave up his previous thoughts and turned to think about what to do in a week.

"Playing games, watching anime, manga... It's such a happy decision."

After this test, the number of candidates will be reduced to 12 and below, and the number of candidates will be halved again in the last test, and the final number of qualified candidates will be six and below.

"Speaking of which, who is my target?"

Mu Yang looked down at the cards he had drawn out. He had no impression of the numbers on them. He didn't memorize the candidates' numbers at all.

"In that case, let's pick three lucky ones by the way."

Amidst the sound of the waves of the warship piercing the sea, the warship arrived near the venue of the fourth test, that is, the sea area near the island of guarding Er.

Candidates changed to another ship. After all, warships are not suitable for getting too close to the island.

After a while, a ship docked somewhere on the edge of the island.

On the deck, the examiner's assistant explained the rules of entering the island to the candidates: "Now, prepare to disembark in the order in which you pass the trap towers first. The method we adopt is to wait for the first person to disembark 2 minutes before the next disembark. A week later, please return to this place to gather with the six points you have obtained."

Saying so, Carat made a "please" gesture: "Now please prepare for the first candidate..."

Hisoka stepped on the wooden board between the rock wall and the deck, and walked slowly towards the opposite side, while the other candidates quietly watched him walk into the woods.

According to the rules of this test, candidates from advanced islands will undoubtedly have an advantage. Although 2 minutes is not long, it is still enough to do something.

After a period of time, all candidates entered the island, and the fourth test officially began.

Mu Yang walked in the forest, the sun shines through the canopy to the grassland, forming beams of light and mottled light shadows, birds chirping occasionally, but the roar of wild animals has not been heard for a while.

"There is a person 200 meters away on the left, who is slowly approaching, and 320 meters ahead, there are three people who are moving away quickly. There are two people [-] and [-] meters away on the right, one in front and one behind, and they are candidates who have locked the target Are you following?"

Using the derivative skill "circle" of the ability of mind, Mu Yang detected the surrounding situation, and he slowly turned to look behind.

"There are two people 50 meters behind, and the distance is rapidly shortening. Is it the person who is eyeing me?"

"It's interesting, let's do some activities first!"

A few seconds later, two galloping figures stopped ten meters away from Muyang, they were Xi Suo and Yi Ermi.

"Hey~ Unexpected situation." Mu Yang looked at the two of them and tilted his head slightly.

"Whose target am I?"

Hisoka and Yiermi didn't answer Mu Yang's question. The three of them looked at each other for a while. Hisoka took the lead, disappeared in place, and rushed towards Mu Yang from the right side. A pink jelly-like object appeared between his hands. , changing shape with his movements, like a rope looping towards Mu Yang.

At the same time, the chanting needles on Yi Ermi's face shot out, he quickly grabbed a few of them, and projected them towards Mu Yang, blocking his movement track, while he himself rushed towards Mu Yang from the left .

"The cooperation is a tacit understanding!"

Mu Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, it seems that the two of them may not have known each other for too long.

The surging air was released suddenly, like an illusory white flame enveloping Mu Yang and burning, waves of air swept in all directions, and the circular grass waves rippled.

"Ow——"

The loud wolf howl exploded, and a wolf with pure white fur and eyes as dazzling as sapphires sprang out from the flames, flashing electric arcs all over its body and biting Hisoka and Yiermi, and the lasing needles were also caught. block.

Huh!

Looking at the snow-white fangs, Hisoka and Yiermi didn't even try the idea of ​​how the wolf's teeth are. The tendency of charging forward stopped immediately, and they threw the charged attack at the same time to stop the wolf's bite. Dodge to one side at the same time.

"Aww—" the pack of wolves let out a loud howl and chased after the two of them.

"Resound! Thunder!"

Accompanied by the roaring thunder, the running wolves turned into blue and white wolf-shaped thunderbolts. The trees along the way were smashed by the dancing thunderbolts, and the grass turned black, showing the destructive power of the thunderbolts.

The field with a radius of [-] meters was turned into lightning by wolves. Once you step into this area, you will receive an electric shock. The shattered trees will be ignited, and the burning flame will produce black smoke, which together with the roaring thunder will attract the attention of other candidates.

"What...is the situation there?"

All candidates raised their heads and looked at the area where the smoke was billowing. Could it be that someone set fire to the mountain?

At the same time, I wondered where the continuous roaring thunder came from, and the sky was clear without any dark clouds.

And the thunder was not coming from above.

There are not a few candidates who are curious about this, but none of them immediately went to the location of the black smoke to investigate the specific situation. As for Qi Ya and others... they have already guessed, after all, Mu Yang used the ability of thunder and lightning in front of them, and also talked about the ability of mind. knowledge, so choose to stay away.
