Chapter 700: The Storm
Jay's prediction was not wrong in the slightest, and soon after, the sky was covered in a large area of darkness, and the sea breeze that had been originally Hexi began to violate.
Barely half an hour after the sight of the dark clouds to the rough waves, the rain began to pour down, and the lightning and thunder plunged the entire sea into a terrifying realm.
In the face of such a celestial might, no one dared to say that this old cargo ship could take them alive, and the violently shaking hull seemed to be about to collapse at any moment.
"Hey, it's too late to give up, this year's storm is too strong, with your ability, you'll die." A sailor shouted at the entrance to the cabin.
Realizing that this human race could not resist at all, two more people chose to give up, and even fewer people chose to challenge the storm.
On the deck, only Jay and Goofy were in a state of ease, and the others were all solemn, and some had already begun to use cables to tie their bodies so as not to fall into the sea.
Goofy saw that Leoli didn't have the determination to win, but seeing that children like Jay had stayed, how could he retreat and stay on the deck with such a stubborn idea.
At this point, the sailors were all ready, standing at their respective posts, solemnly listening to the captain's orders, every fight against the storm was the result of nine deaths, and no one was sure that the captain would be victorious every time.
The cabin is completely closed, and at this time, it becomes impossible even if you want to quit, this is the cruelty of the hunter exam, and a considerable number of people will die here.
Among them, there are brave people who want to prove their strength, and there are thugs who have committed many crimes, and no one dares to guarantee that they can be alone, including the magician Hisoka.
The trials of the hunter exam have been completely changed, and the original plot was fine as long as you don't get seasick, but now it is a real test of life and death.
When the monstrous waves formed, the storm officially showed that terrifying threat, and the old captain's deep voice was clearly visible in such a stormy environment. Command after command for the sailor to be flawless.
The most shocking thing is that even by this time, the ship did not fully raise its sails, knowing that one accidentally broke the entire mast. Then the ship will lose power, and even if it survives the storm, it will not be able to reach the next port, becoming a ghost on the sea, and everyone will die of hunger and thirst.
At this moment, the wind seemed to have become a sharp weapon in the hands of the old captain. One after another, the huge waves that were much higher than the boat, were smoothly shuttled by him by relying on the power of the wind, and they were thrilling to the extreme.
The people who stayed on the deck were also holding all kinds of solid objects on the ship, and at this time there was no room for grace, and once they were thrown out of the hull, they would definitely die.
This soon happened, a person did not tie himself tightly, and as a result, the rope automatically released in a toss, and disappeared in an instant, without even having time to scream.
In a wet environment, only thunder and lightning can barely illuminate the surrounding sea. The lights on the ship are barely visible, and it can be difficult to grasp the objects around you on your own.
None of the people left here were not extraordinary, not even Jay, who punched a person with all his strength to death.
But in this dark sea of storms, no one knows when the storm will pass, and the test of perseverance is even more important, and a slight relaxation may mean death.
In fact, this time the storm exceeded many people's expectations, and a full six hours passed. It has not abated in the slightest, which has exceeded the expectations of many people for the storm.
"No way, how could this storm last so long, I can't hold on." After a panicked shout. It was swept straight into the sea.
Jay tried to throw his line out and pull the man back, but in such a violent storm, the light hook couldn't orient a person at all.
"Is this the Hunter Exam? It's brutal. Jay watched this scene with some pain, and after the man ran out of strength and was swept into the sea, several more people lost their strength and were thrown out of the hull. One of them was particularly miserable, he had a cable tied to his body, but he had no strength to hold himself in place, and as a result, he was stoned to death on the boat, and dragged into the sea like that.
"If you knew the value of a hunter's license, I'm afraid you wouldn't think so." Goofy's voice wasn't high, but it came into Jay's ears clearly, and the people around him heard it clearly.
He is the most relaxed member, just one hand grasps the cable wrapped around the mast to support it until now, there is no intention of returning one hand at all, but the shape of the soup chicken is really not handsome.
"Let's put it this way, the value of the hunter license can be sold for at least 5 billion rings, and if you want to start your own business, you can easily borrow more than 10 billion from the bank, and this is only the most basic value of the hunter license." Goofy said lightly about the benefits of the hunter's license, which made Jay stunned at the same time, but also made the eyes of the others around him fiery, and suddenly the originally weak arm once again burst out with new strength.
"There are so many." Jie was distracted by the literati number of nuns, on that small island on the edge, Jie's own pocket money never reached 1,000 nuns, and the number of nuns in hundreds of millions was far beyond his imagination.
"That's right, that's the hunter's license I want, and when I become a real hunter, money, fame, and power are all at my fingertips, and it's glad to think about it." Leoli was motivated by Goofy's words, and fell into delusions in this dangerous environment.
Leoli's words simply represent the voices of many people around him, why did he take the hunter exam, isn't it just to get more money and fame?
Even if you fail, if you can get a good ranking, you can also be famous, and you can easily find a very rich job, and people with power are not willing to become a low-level citizen like that and work hard all their lives.
"Hmph, hunter is a very noble profession, and the goal is money, which is nothing more than the work of low-level hunters." Kurapika couldn't help but speak out, and it was a group ridicule all of a sudden, if it weren't for the current dangerous environment, I'm afraid a PK would be inevitable.
"Little ghost, what do you say, if you have money, you can get everything in this world, how can a person who doesn't understand the charm of money become a hunter?" Leoli was immediately enraged by Kurapika, and the two began to fight each other, just as the power of the storm began to wane, but those attracted by the debate had not yet noticed.
Leoli and Kurapika's views are completely at two extremes, one worships the power of money, with which many regrets can be avoided; One insisted on his beliefs, did not bend over money, was full of idealism, and after a fierce quarrel, the two invariably chose to fight to maintain their ideas.
It was only then that the others realized that the storm had reached a point where they could easily handle it, and the remaining people were almost overwhelmingly in favor of Leoli for this battle.
Kurapika's handsome looks and childish beliefs are not at all favorable, and Leoli seems to have learned to fight, but this product of the underground ring is not at all elegant.
Just as the battle between the two was about to break out, the mutation unfolded again, and after one sailor was exhausted, the other was accidentally thrown away.
Without any hesitation, the two chose to rescue the victim, but they didn't catch it by a finger's hand, and a small figure rushed out of the hull like lightning and grabbed the arm of the crew.
Leoli and Kurapika also grabbed Jay by the ankle and managed to rescue the crew, who would have died if the storm had not subsided.
However, Jay's actions were not as reckless as people imagined, and Goofy could clearly see that the fishing line was firmly tied to the mast, and even if no one held him back, he could survive with the tough fishing line.
