In the dark passage, the chaotic running sound was still mixed with the sound of wheezing, but the footsteps were louder than before, and the same was true for wheezing.

In the course of three hours, the speed of running continued to increase, and the running without seeing the front and not knowing the destination at all made a large part of the runners' mental strength close to the limit, and their physical strength was consumed more quickly than before.

It didn't take long for Leoli to stop, sweating profusely and panting heavily, almost kneeling on the ground.

"Leoli." Xiaojie turned around and looked at Leoli, Ivan and the others also stopped, and in just a few seconds, they who were originally in the middle and lower reaches of the position were directly reduced to the bottom.

"What are you kidding, I can't stop here, I still have to make a lot of money." Leoli, who was originally half-lying on the ground, straightened up and took a few steps forward, but his leg muscles couldn't support such a lot of movement at all, and he was completely out of his control.

"Be careful, you're too reluctant." Ivan held up Leoli, who almost fell.

"He's done, let's go." Killua spoke at this time.

Since childhood, his education and living environment have made him accustomed to abandonment.

"No, Leoli is a friend, I can't leave by myself without taking care of him." Xiaojie said to Killua.

"Leave me alone, you guys go first, it's me who underestimated this hunter exam, all the players are physical monsters, I'll rest for a while, and I'll catch up later, Uncle Ben didn't think about giving up." Leoli said as he breathed heavily.

He didn't want his companions to be dragged down and delay their exams because of himself.

"Mr. Dongba, is there any way?" Xiao Jie turned to the experienced Dongba and asked, trying to find any other way.

"How?" Dongba was entangled for a while, glanced at Ivan on the side out of the corner of his eye, and then had an expression as if he had thought of something.

"By the way, use that, just use that smell." He spoke.

"Didn't there be a sweet smell coming from the right fork just now? It is the fragrance of the sap of the tree that restores the body, and it is possible to restore physical strength. Dongba continued.

"Restore the tree?" Xiaojie asked ignorantly, as for Ivan, he had an expression on his face, please start your performance, and look at Dongba's acting skills.

"In the forest, there are many hunters who recover their bodies by restoring the smell of the sap of the tree, and if you smell this smell for a long time, you can recover some physical strength." Dongba continued.

"There is indeed a tree that can replenish the trace elements that the human body lacks and relieve the lactic acid released by the muscles, and experienced hunters can generally find this kind of tree." Ivan spoke at this time.

Ivan's words made everyone's eyes focus on him, Dongba had an incredible expression, and as for Killua seemed to be guessing.

"That's great." Xiaojie said excitedly.

"Yes... Oh, yes. Dongba smiled awkwardly.

"However, the restoration tree is extremely harsh on the growth environment, the content of negative oxygen ions in the air must reach more than 50,000 units per cubic centimeter, this is an underground passage, above is the range of human activities, according to the growth environment of the restoration tree, there are no growth conditions at all.

And to add that the taste of the restoration tree is not a sweet aroma, but a sour and astringent taste, which can stimulate the body the most, and the way is not to smell, but to chew the roots.

It seems that the restoration tree that Mr. Dongba said is different from what I remembered, maybe the two varieties are different. Ivan continued.

"Is that so?" After listening to Ivan's explanation, Xiaojie looked at Dongba, and Kurapika also vaguely sensed that something was wrong at this time.

"Huh? It should be a different variety, hahaha... But it's also possible that I'm misremembering. Dongba scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, as if he wanted to fool this matter over.

However, Ivan's smile made him feel very weak, and even moved his body back a little.

"Oh." Ivan suddenly realized at this time: "I'm sorry, I seem to have confused the magic lemon tree with the recovery tree, and it seems that there is no plant of the restoration tree in my memory, I'm sorry." ”

For a moment, everyone looked at Dongba, and even Leoli, who was unresponsive, reacted, knowing that the recovery tree was a lie.

"That's not the smell of the recovery tree at all, it's the smell of the ghost cedar tree, and many assassins like to use the smell of this tree to lure out the dark side of the target's heart and make him collapse." At this time, Killua also spoke.

Dongba, who sensed that something was wrong, moved to the corner of the wall and distanced himself from the crowd.

"You guy, have you been lying to us from the beginning?" Leoli roared loudly, furious.

"Cut, have you been discovered?" Dongba's originally panicked expression changed, and it seemed to have a kind of blackening.

"You are a waste newcomer, sooner or later you will be eliminated, I just kindly helped your friend dispose of you who have been eliminated, since you have been recognized, hehe." Dongba lowered his head and grinned, and before everyone had time to react, he pulled his legs and ran, and sure enough, he was a witty boy who had participated in the thirty-five hunter exams and was not killed by others.

"Your companions are waiting to be dragged down by you until they are all disqualified."

The echo in the distance came out, causing Leoli to be even more angry, if it weren't for his lack of physical strength, he would probably have taught Dongba a lesson on the spot, and let out a good breath.

"Ivan, what should I do now?" Xiaojie turned his gaze to Ivan.

"You guys go first, leave me alone, catch up with that bastard, and teach him a good lesson." Leoli gritted his teeth and said, obviously angry.

Ivan looked at Leoli and pondered for a few seconds, as if he was thinking about something, but that look reminded Leoli of the guinea pig he used as an experiment, and he forgot about fatigue in his heart, and suddenly panicked.

"Maybe you can try it, but I can't guarantee it will work." Ivan spoke.

"What's the method?" Kurapika asked cautiously.

"The potential of human beings is huge, but the vast majority of forces sleep in the body in order to protect the fragile body of human beings from collapsing, what I want to do now is to awaken the potential in Leoli's body."

"At what cost?" Kurapika frowned slightly.

He understands that the use of some methods can be very harmful to the body, especially this weird method that stimulates potential.

"It may be at the cost of longevity, but it is more likely that the body is sore for several days, after all, I haven't tried it, I just said to try it." Ivan said.

"Come on." Leoli said very decisively, his eyes were extremely determined.

"Leoli." Xiaojie and Kurapika glanced at Leoli and understood that this was his own choice, and did not stop it.

"Then give it a try." Ivan stretched out his index finger as he spoke, and the curse mark on his neck changed, and the black cloud tattoo wrapped around his shoulder and then around his arm, eventually covering his entire hand.

Only Ivan himself could see that the natural energy was concentrated on the tip of his index finger, like a green flame burning.

In the next moment, this ball of natural energy was injected by Ivan into the opening acupoint in Leoli's body, stimulating its potential.

The moment the natural energy entered Leoli's body, a switch in his body seemed to be turned on, and the power that had disappeared also reappeared, just like the resurrection of full blood after taking drugs in the game, or even stronger.

"The body, the whole body, is constantly bursting with power." Leoli looked at his hands and said excitedly.

"It shouldn't last long, so let's run quickly." Ivan said.

The crowd ran again, but Kurapika looked at Ivan with some unclear meaning.

"Is it a special bloodline like me?" He thought.
