Chapter 173: Stone Monster Fish

Two days later, the 286th edition of the Hunter finally began.

Pam and Hisoka had just arrived in the first exam room, and now all the candidates who could take this year's hunter exam were gathered in a church in the center of the castle lord.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

From the back door of the church, a middle-aged man, dressed in a formal suit, looked very serious.

As soon as the middle-aged man appeared on the stage, he attracted everyone's attention, and everyone understood that this person was one of the examiners of this year's hunter exam.

"The registration time for this hunter exam is officially over."

Hearing the examiner's words, except for a few people, including Pam, the rest of the candidates smiled in their hearts.

"Then the hunter exam will begin."

"So, the first of this year's hunter exam, 388 candidates, all participated."

Pam was not surprised by the examiner's appearance, and the next step should be to announce the exam questions.

"The content of your first exam is to enter through this door behind me, and then come out of it, and when the time comes, you will arrive at the exit of the second exam venue."

"I almost forgot to introduce myself, I'm the examiner for this exam, Cage."

"Finally, I would like to remind you that the maximum number of people who can successfully reach the second test venue is 100."

"Come in, then, everybody!"

After the examiner Cage finished speaking, he turned sideways and stepped out of the way.

"I'm the first, I'm definitely going to get a hunter's license."

One of the candidates closest to De Cage rushed into the exam venue in an instant, and the rest of the candidates also flocked.

Goal, pass the first exam!

"Ah......h

From the depths of the door, there was a miserable scream, which made the ordinary candidates present instantly startled, and they could easily hear that the one who had just made a miserable scream was the first person to rush into the examination room.

This is the first exam, and the content of the exam is through the examination venue behind this door, and it is clear from the words of the examiner that the number of candidates who pass the first exam is at most 100 or less than 100.

However, the examiner did not say that it was the 100 people who could pass the exam.

First come, first served? Or are there some hidden conditions?

With limited intelligence, Pam is leaning towards the second.

After almost all the candidates had entered the door, Hisoka spoke to Pam.

"How about seeing who gets to the second venue first?"

As she spoke, she walked in the direction of the door, not waiting for Palm's answer.

Pam kept his face unchanged and walked into the examination room with a smile on his face, following Hisoka.

The content of this first exam may be difficult for the ordinary candidates present, but for Hisoka and Pam, it is a very simple question.

Pam also entered the examination room behind the door, and after passing a flat road, Pam first encountered a staircase that turned straight down.

"Underground?"

Pam's judged inwardly.

After passing the stairs, there are four entrances on the face of Pam, which seems to be a matter of choice, and it all depends on luck.

"In that case, let's pick any one."

Pam chose the first entrance on the right, there was nothing special about this entrance, but Pam chose it if he wanted to.

At Pam's pace, he walked through the passage for more than three minutes, and he came to the front of the four doors again, and now Pam was completely sure that one of the conditions for passing the first exam.

Get out of the maze.

Pam looked at the four doors that appeared again in front of him, and he just smiled lightly, as if he had become a ghost in the maze, and disappeared in an instant.

After encountering the Labyrinth Gate four times in a row, Pam finally met with the other candidates, and one of them was a well-known candidate.

"Dongba."

Pam looked at Dongba who was groping on the examinee who was falling to the ground, and he instantly arrived behind Dongba and shouted his name.

Dongba was instantly startled when he heard someone call him, and when he turned his head slowly, he saw Pam standing not far behind him.

"As someone who has already taken the 34 Hunter exam, you should know how to get out of here!"

Pam said, he just exuded an aura of evil thoughts, which directly pressed on Dongba's body, and he turned a blind eye to the three candidates who fell near Dongba.

Shocked by the evil thoughts on Pam's body, Dongba was so frightened that he couldn't speak at all, and he didn't come back to his senses until Pam put away the evil thoughts on his body.

At that moment, he felt as if he was about to die.

Dongba was confronted with Pam's question, but he dared to say no.

"Know, know!"

Dongba replied tremblingly.

"Tell me, if what you say is false, then I'll kill you!"

Pam said plainly and smilingly, but Dongba didn't dare to think about it in the slightest, because he knew that what Pam said was true.

"No, don't dare!"

Dongba is like a good baby at this time.

"Everywhere in this labyrinth, there is a key that can be opened and left as long as you get it and reach the exit of the labyrinth."

Dongba said, handing over the key that he had just found from the man on the ground.

Dongba, who can participate in the 34th hunter exam and not die, still has a certain ability, his ability is to be knowledgeable, knowing that when he faces an enemy he can't deal with, he will admit defeat with interest, even if he fails the hunter exam, he doesn't care, the important thing is that he is still alive.

"Is this it?"

Pam asked, holding a bronze key from Dongba's hand.

"This is it!"

Watching Pam take the key, Dongba lowered his head and laughed back.

"Then thank you, you can continue!"

When Pam got the key, he disappeared in an instant.

Frightened, Dongba broke out in a cold sweat.

"Almost died!"

Dongba sighed secretly in his heart.

More than two hours later, Pam also found an exit out of the maze.

In more than two hours, after Dongba's intelligence, Pam intended to have the keys to collect, but Pam already had five keys in his hands, that is, Pam had eliminated four people in addition to the one he needed.

The number of people who passed the first exam was reduced to a maximum of 96.

"This is the exit!"

Pam put the key into the keychain on the door and twisted it, and the door of the underground labyrinth, which was originally closed, was pushed open by Pam with a light pile.

When Pam walked out, he found that the examiner, Cage, was already waiting at the door.

"It seems that I was the first person to pass the first exam."

Pam chuckled and said to Cage.

The examiner, Cage, still kept his smile when he saw Pam coming out of the door, but he was a little shocked in his heart, because Pam walked out of the underground maze in more than two hours, which really amazed him.

"You've passed the first hunter exam, so please wait here, I'll take you to the second exam room when this exam is over."

As soon as Cage finished speaking, the closed door behind Pam opened again.

"Yo, Pam! Looks like you've lost it. ”

The second person to pass the first exam was none other than Hisoka.

Pam nodded to Hisoka, then stepped aside, jumped onto a tree and sat there.

Hisoka looked at Pam sitting on the tree, and Hisoka, who was a little unhappy because he had lost the match he proposed, became even more unhappy.

Pam didn't pay attention to Hisoka, but was judging what kind of place this was, and because he was surrounded by mountains, Pam didn't know where it was, only to be sure that it was out of the city.

Little by little, time passed,

It's going to get dark. absolutely

"The first exam is over, congratulations on successfully passing the first hunter exam."

At the time, just after arriving at six o'clock in the evening, Cage directly announced the end of the first hunter exam, and Pam also jumped silently from the tree.

The number of candidates who took the first exam was 388, but now the number of candidates who passed the first exam, including Pam, is only 63.

Next, I will take you to the venue of the second hunter exam, please follow along.

Cage turned and walked deeper into the forest, and Pam quickly followed.

As the three of them entered the depths of this forested land, night fell, and a thick fog spread, providing an excellent hunting environment for many creatures that are good at stealth.

Here, it is still very dangerous for these ordinary candidates, and those ordinary people now, in the face of the situation here, are all weak in their hearts.

Although it is said that now the large army is advancing together, and it is the examiner who is leading the way, the confidence of these ordinary candidates is not very sufficient.

There is an examiner in front of the way, as the road goes deeper, the danger in the dark night is also impossible to put an end to the danger, and there are already a few candidates who are behind in the team, as for life and death, it is life and death.

Anyone who takes the hunter exam is at the risk of life and death.

Pam knew where the examiner Cage wanted to take them, so he could only follow them stupidly, and walked briskly for more than an hour, the fog became thicker and thicker at night, and there were more and more dangers around them, and the group walked deeper and deeper.

Under the guidance of the chief examiner, Cage, the group walked briskly for another two hours, and finally came to a lake.

The fog has cleared, the surrounding area is full of greenery, and the night light in the sky is scattered on the earth, illuminating the lake in front of it, and you can see that there are large trees and many huge boulders lying next to the trees.

"This is the location of your second exam, Mingguang Moonlight Lake, as for whether you can take the second hunter exam, it depends on whether you can survive tonight."

"I'm here to announce that you've officially passed the first hunter exam, and your second examiner will be here tomorrow."

"Now, please try to survive tonight."

After Cage finished speaking, the figure gradually disappeared into the night, regardless of the life and death of this group of candidates.

Pam's position was next to the Moonlight Lake, and it was past ten o'clock in the evening, and it was already completely dark.

Except for the candidates who were taking the hunter exam for Pam and his party, there were only lush trees and lying trees nearby.

"There are still 51 candidates left."

Pam silently counted the number of people, and then he disappeared into the night.

Their request tonight is to live here, so it proves that there is definitely danger at night.

As for the danger, we will not know until the danger comes.

The group of candidates is not stupid, they have already gathered together in groups of three or five to spend this dangerous night together.

Following.

Pam returned to the ranks of the Hunter Candidates, but Pam found that the number of candidates had been reduced to 47, which means that four people were missing last night.

Thinking of this, Pam's heart was directly shocked, because he didn't find any mission movement after not sleeping all night last night.

Except for the sound of insects chirping in the night, he didn't notice any movement at all.

In other words, in this deep forest, there are one or more hunters lurking.

"What's that?"

One of the examinees shouted in surprise as he raised his head and pointed to the sky.

Pam also looked at the sky with the candidate's call.

I saw a figure descending directly from the sky.

"Good morning everyone!"

The young man who fell from the sky was dressed as a hunter and wore a tiger fur coat.

Pam could tell it was a real tiger fur coat.

"My name is Ebony, and I'm the chief examiner for your second hunter exam, and congratulations on surviving last night with the Ringing Blood Bug."

After Pam listened to Ebony's words, he also thought about how those candidates disappeared, although Pam didn't know what kind of thing the Bloodworm was, but that thing was definitely not easy to mess with.

The few candidates who disappeared last night are the best proof of this.

Looking at the appearance of the many candidates, Ebony smiled, and then directly untied a long, thick vine from a large tree, and then tied it to a heavy stone.

Pam guessed that this should be the test item for today.

Sure enough, as Pam expected, he continued after seeing Ebony tie the stone with vines.

"That's what you're going to do today."

As soon as Ebony's words fell, an anxious candidate couldn't wait to ask.

"Ebony Examiner, what is this going to do? If it's a vine tied to a stone, it's too simple. ”

The corners of Ebony's mouth hooked slightly, and he said.

"Of course it's not that simple, you need to fish with it."

"Fishing?"

After listening to this, Pam couldn't help but think in the bottom of his heart.

"Ebony Examiner, how is this possible, how can a stone be able to afford to catch a fish?"

"It's ......"

Ebony looked at the more than forty candidates who were arguing, and he said directly.

"This vine is a special plant in this forest, it is very tough, it is not easy to break, the bearing capacity should be more than one ton, if it is subjected to more than one ton of tension, it can last for an hour in a tense state."

Pam was confused, completely unsure what this had to do with the fishing exam that was going to be taken.

"No matter how tough you are, you can't fish with stones!"

Looking at the candidates who were still noisy, Ebony didn't bother to explain, he first walked to the vicinity of Moonlight Lake, and then grabbed the stone tied up at the other end of the vine and threw it directly into the lake, about ten meters from the shore.

"You see, the next thing is for you to take his exam."

After Ebony threw the stone down, he pinched the vine in one hand, stood on the edge of the lake, stared at the lake that had calmed down, and turned his head to look at Pam as they spoke.

Pam stood on the outside of the crowd and Sisoka stood together, quietly looking at the ebony, thinking of the word fishing, and suddenly felt incredible, thinking in his heart.

"That's a rock, is it possible that a fish will be hooked?"

The atmosphere of the scene also stopped after the sound of ebony fell.

After about five minutes, the calm surface of the lake suddenly stirred up a circle of ripples, followed by a splash of water, and at the same time, the vines pinched by the ebony in his hand instantly straightened, as if a fish had been hooked.

"It's coming!"

Ebony said suddenly.

Looking at the straightened vines, there is a sentence in the hearts of many examiners that MMP doesn't know whether to say or not.

"There are really fish that like to eat stones."

Seeing this, Pam also sighed in his heart.

"It's really a long experience, and you can really catch fish with stones."

Seeing this scene, not to mention the many candidates, even Pam and Hisoka, two of them, were a little stunned for a while.

If the vine in Ebony's hand didn't have anything, Pam wouldn't be so surprised, because he knew that there was a vine in the world that could catch fish without bait.

The vines in Ebony's hands straightened, and he kept pulling them back.

The splash of the lake became more and more violent, and a huge black shadow more than a meter long gradually floated under the water, as if it was swinging its body frantically, trying to get rid of the pull from the vines.

However, in front of Ebony, a telepathic person, any struggle was meaningless, and the unknown creatures in the lake were dragged to the shore by Ebony in this way.

Then he was picked up by ebony with one hand.

This is a very large strange fish, in shape, it looks like a baby fish that has been magnified countless times, but it has no limbs, and there are more than a dozen wide fins on the belly and back of the fish.

The stone thrown by the ebony has been eaten by the strange fish.

After the strange fish came ashore and was raised by the ebony embankment, it still had abundant physical strength, jumping lively, dancing in gusts of wind.

Ebony held the right hand of the strange fish, grabbed the strange fish and threw it on the ground, and the whole strange fish fainted.

Then Ebony looked up and said to Pam and them.

"That's the goal of your exam, it's called the Stone Fish, it's a fish endemic to this lake, and their food is stones."

"You can start fishing, it's seven o'clock in the morning, as long as you can catch a stonefish before twelve o'clock at noon, you will pass the second exam."
