In the dark cave passage, four people walked on the smooth road, and the footsteps echoed continuously in the empty corridor.

Leo Li walked in front, with a metal lighter in his hand, which emitted a firelight to illuminate the front in the dark cave tunnel.And Ogata and others followed behind him, talking along the way.

The topic everyone revolved around was the tour guide couple who lived under the silver fir tree on the top of the mountain.

Because everyone knows very well that if you want to rely on the tour guide couple to take them to the real test venue, you should go through a rigorous test.As for the content of the test, they had no idea in mind.

"Ahead is the exit of this cave." Seeing the light at the exit of the cave, Leo Li was overjoyed. After walking for nearly two hours, he had lost his patience, and his lighter was already burning hot.

Hearing this, Ogata and the others raised their eyes to look in the direction of the exit that Leorio had mentioned, and they had indeed seen the light source, but they didn't know if it would be under the silver fir tree on the top of the mountain after they walked out.

Going around in the dark cave, even Ogata, who has a good memory, can hardly figure it out. Where does the cave passage that seems to be formed naturally lead?Leorio turned off the lighter and quickened his pace, with the joy and expectation of walking out of this passage on his face.

The same is true for Ogata and the others. After walking for about two hours, everyone's patience has been greatly worn down.

When everyone stood at the exit of the passage and looked at it, everyone's faces could not help showing strange expressions.

"It's actually a lake, damn it!" Leo Li clenched his fists, looking at the sparkling water in front of him.The lake water looks clear and rippling under the bright moonlight.There is no mood to stop and watch quietly.

Same as the impatient Leorio.Ogata and the others are not interested in this lake either. What they care about is how to get to the silver fir tree and find the guide couple who are in charge of leading them on the top of the mountain.

"It should be to tell us to row a boat." Kurapika noticed a small boat docked in the corner of the lake at this time, which could just accommodate the four of them, and analyzed rationally.

Hearing this, everyone looked at the small boat. The boat was small and broken, but it was only pulled by a rope.And there are sculls inside.It is obviously impossible to cross the ocean, but it is more feasible to cross this lake.

Xiaojie had a happy expression on his face: "It seems that we can only take this boat, row across the lake, and reach the other shore." It is indeed as he said, the choice left for everyone at present, The only way to get across this lake is by boat.There is no other way, and we can't go back the same way.Looking for other ways out.

Leori and Kurapika nodded in agreement, only Ogata stared at the ship thoughtfully.

Obviously in this place.A ship has just been prepared here, and it is deliberately waiting for them to use it.

So what Ogata thought was that if the tour guide couple was really waiting for them on the opposite side of the lake, then the couple must have known that they had successfully passed the old woman's test, but they didn't show up directly at this time. A ship is here, let everyone take the initiative to find them, what does this mean?

The corner of Ogata's mouth curled up into a slight smile. The couple of tour guides must be trying to play tricks and create a new round of test questions for them to solve.Reminiscent of the expression on the old woman at the foot of the mountain when she praised him as a smart person, it is not difficult to guess that this pair of tour guides will also create problems, and it seems to be the most difficult problem to solve along the way, otherwise it will not be established in the upcoming Arrive at the final stage of the exam venue.

Leorie and the others boarded the boat one after another, and Ogata stepped up gently at the end and sat cross-legged at the stern.

The job of paddling is assigned to someone with good physical strength and strength. Obviously, Ogata, who seems "gentle and weak", is not suitable for this job, because compared with the other three people, he does not have any advantages in physical fitness.

So this kind of work is handed over to Leorio who volunteered!

Apparently Leorio was smart enough to realize that besides Ogata, he was the oldest of the four.And he has always been very confident in his own strength, thinking that he will not lose to others.

Leo Li rolled up his sleeves, loosened his tie, exposed his strong arms, nonchalantly held the sculls, and began to swing gently on the lake.

The boat moved slowly in the ripples on the water surface, and under the clear lake surface, it seemed that one or two fish could be caught swimming by with the naked eye.When the bright moonlight shines on this lake, it is not only pleasing to the eye, but also a kind of quiet satisfaction.

Jay and Kurapika sit on the bow and keep an eye on the movement ahead, while Ogata is in charge of alerting the danger behind, and Leorio is fully in charge of rowing the boat.All the way from Whale Island to Dolly Island, with the same goal, we have crossed a sea and a mountain, and have established the most basic tacit understanding and friendship.

As the boat sailed into the middle of the lake, there were no ups and downs along the way, just like an ordinary night.

But as there seemed to be some strange 'crawling' noises around the lake, it all fell apart.

"Be careful of the wild beasts and demonic beasts around here, I always feel that this lake is not peaceful." At this moment, Kurapika unfastened his two knives from behind his back, his gaze became sharp.

Hearing Kurapika's words, Xiaojie also nodded, his perception is the strongest among the four, and he also strained his eyes: "There are indeed traces of other creatures here."

"Warcraft?" Ogata's eyes blinked. He knew about beasts, but he didn't have a definite understanding of what a monster was.But it's not hard to guess. Theoretically, the Warcraft they are talking about should be creatures with a higher level of intelligence than wild beasts.But whether there are any strange abilities or not, maybe.

Leorie rowed hard. He was the closest person to Ogata, but he didn't notice the doubt on the latter's face.

When the fluctuations on the lake surface seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and the ripples that were originally drawn by the oars gradually turned into waves spreading in all directions, suddenly a large splash of water splashed, followed by a terrifying roar that was deafening.

Ogata stared.He quickly pulled out the scalpel inserted into the leather from his hand.The narrow hull of the whole person stood up.in the direction of the stern.What he was facing directly was a python-like monster hiding deep in the bottom of the lake, with its bloody mouth wide open, its white fangs bulging, and its body frantically shaking.

"Leori!" Xiaojie and Kurapika's expressions changed, and they hurriedly urged Leori to speed up the paddles, trying to avoid the huge monster's pursuit as much as possible.

When Leorio noticed this monster, his scalp went numb.His complexion changed, and he swung the oars quickly with his arms. Immediately, the wobbly boat seemed to be equipped with a high-speed engine, and it directly broke the waves on the lake, with an indomitable momentum.

And this python-like monster didn't give up chasing after it. It swam in the lake like a human running on land, displaying its instinctive hunting nature in a specific environment.

"Roar!"

He watched the pair of lantern-sized pupils approaching him round and round.

Ogata yanked out the scalpel in his hand.At the same time, connect it with Gang Qi, and control it as you like!

The tip of the scalpel revealed its sharpness.Stab towards the python's head!

"Bang!" The scalpel hit the top of the python's head, and the black scales reflected the moonlight, engulfing the silver-white sharpness.

The momentum of the blade came to an abrupt end, and the scalpel didn't sink into the monster's skin and flesh, instead it made an echo like a metal impact.A terrifying scene happened, and the attack that he was bound to win was hard to shake its physical defense.

hateful.Ogata's eyes turned cold, and he didn't take back his scalpel, but let the scalpel rotate at an extremely fast speed under the surprised eyes of Kurapika and Xiaojie, forming a bitter vortex.

After a while, the scalpel struck the python's head again.

Silver light, twisted and arrogant!

But this time, with the tip of the knife as the middle point, the entire hand blade is rotating at a high speed, and the destructive power becomes terrifying. Half of the blade is like a drill bit, slowly breaking through the monster's flesh layer, which seems to be easy. into its flesh.

The strange-colored blood slowly seeped along the handle of the scalpel, dripped into the lake, and turned into a large piece of black ink like ink

The monster yelled like crazy, and the entire lake became more dangerous than the sea level. Its body made huge waves and slammed on the boat. Everyone felt that the boat might capsize at any time.

But fortunately, with the efforts of Leorio, the ship has already approached the shore.

Ogata called back his scalpel, and the huge monster seemed to be unable to bully the land. In the state of being wounded and bleeding, he roared unwillingly and had to sneak back to its lair, which was just now in the bottom of the lake.

"It was really dangerous just now!" Leo Li threw down the oar, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his clothes, and said with lingering fear.

Kurapika smiled bitterly and said, "That's right, we can't fight that monster in the water at all."

"Ogata, are you okay?" Xiaojie asked Ogata beside him with concern at this time, because he was the only one who fought the monster head-on.

Ogata shook his head, he was naturally fine, because he was controlling the scalpel from the beginning to the end, and went to compete with that monster while ensuring his own safety.Although it didn't kill it, it also made the monster suffer. There was only one reason for doing it. He hated snakes.

Just like some people don't like bugs or mice, for Ogata, it's not fear, but pure hatred.Because in his opinion, animals like snakes are more disgusting than bugs.

After landing, several people breathed a sigh of relief.Because the monsters have receded, everyone can sort out their mood and complete more important things.

Looking around, Ogata found that after crossing the lake, the few of them came to the top of the mountain, less than 200 meters away from the silver fir tree under the moonlight.

"Fortunately, that old lady didn't lie to us." Leo Li put down his sleeves again, stared at the silver fir tree like everyone else, and said happily.

Kurapika nodded slightly: "Let's go, maybe we still have new tests to complete."

When the four of them arrived under the silver cedar tree, they found a house standing alone, which looked like the rented house that Ogata and Leorio lived in some time ago.

Leorio walked up carelessly.Go to knock on the wooden door: "Is there anyone? We are candidates under the mountain."

Ogata and the others were behind him.Waiting for someone to open the door.Or respond to them.

But after waiting for a while, there was no response. Leorio impatiently stretched out his hand to push the wooden door that didn't seem to be tightly closed.

Squeak!

When the door was pushed open and opened halfway.

With the light of the music, Ogata and others with good eyesight saw a terrible scene.

A tall monster with wings and the face of a fox, its pupils gleaming in the gloom.It is holding a girl hostage.And a man sat on the ground, facing the monster in horror, trembling all over.

"Be careful!" Ogata saw it first, and quickly reminded.

When Kurapika and Xiaojie reacted, the fox monster had already grabbed the girl with its claws, and quickly broke through the door.

"Leori, Kurapika, Xiaojie, I'll stay here to save people." Ogata quickly digested the current situation and said to them.

The three of them came back to their senses.Quickly chase the monster in the direction where it disappeared.

Ogata who remained on the spot was a doctor, and he had already noticed the injured in the room.That frightened man, if nothing else happened, he was one of the tour guides who took them to the examination room this time, so it was necessary to save him.

After his companion chased after him, Ogata adjusted his thinking and walked into the hut on the top of the mountain.

He looked at the man who fell to the ground with a frightened expression on his face.

"Where is it hurt?" Ogata walked in and asked with concern.

The man pointed to the wound on his shoulder and said to Ogata, "I was scratched by that monster, right here."

"Okay, I'll come and take a look." Ogata approached him, his face and expression as usual, unhurried.

When he knelt down to help the man get up, his hands were on the man's shoulders, his originally caring and kind expression gradually became cold, his eyes looked directly at him, and he said word by word: " You are not human."

"Huh?" The man raised his head in surprise, and looked into Ogata's eyes without hesitation, his pupils constricted a little.

The face under the black brim was very calm.

The eyes are aggressive, as if confirming his own judgment.

"Tell me, what is the content of the test? Do you want me to kill you, or are you the so-called tour guide?" Ogata grabbed the man's arm, and the other hand picked up the scalpel and landed on his neck, cold The blade is close to the skin.

The man pretended to be panicked: "What are you talking about? I am a human being, a human being who lives here, and the one who was taken away just now is my wife."

Ogata smiled softly, and he slowly exposed the other party's lies: "A real doctor can tell the clues at a glance. Your wound is really right, and your changes really amaze me, but you can Copy the appearance, but it is difficult to clone the internal tissue changes of the human body. The scratches of the wound extend from the outside to the inside, and the degree of penetration and the force of the focus are all deliberately faked from this angle. The broken skin is about an inch or so There was no blood stain left. Obviously, in the process of forgery, in order not to hurt the muscle tissue of oneself, a part of the spare power was deliberately reserved."

"So being able to hurt yourself with your claws from this angle and leave such a wound makes me have to guess that you are a monster with the ability to change, not the human appearance in front of me."

"Oh?" The man's gaze changed, his voice lowered and became deep: "I really didn't expect that such an interesting guy would come to this year's hunter exam. You are right, I am not human "

Hearing this sentence, he changed his mind, and he had already guessed the content of the test.

The essence of a hunter, the first test is the basic way of survival, while the old woman's test is the indispensable calmness and calmness of the psychological quality, and here, what should be tested is the candidates' ability to distinguish right from wrong!

Suddenly, Ogata put down the scalpel and looked at him: "It seems that the woman who was taken away is also your kind. And the two of you, together with the fox just now, should be stationed on this mountain, waiting Candidates come to the test guide, right?"

"What a powerful analytical ability." The man stood up, as if nothing happened, with a calm expression: "Indeed, we are the tour guides who greeted the candidates in the past."

"It seems that my test should have passed smoothly. And you should be the so-called monsters. Although they look different from humans, they possess human intelligence and communication methods." Ogata said lightly.

The man didn't refute, just nodded.Just like what Ogata said, the second he saw through his identity, it proved that he was qualified and had the qualification to go to the candidate meeting place.

"Did you have anything to drink?" Ogata sat down on the ground, looking at the man opposite him as if chatting about family matters.

The man was startled, looked at him in astonishment, and then reacted, took out a bottle of drink from the refrigerator, and handed it to Ogata.

Ogata took it over, glanced at the other person's expression, and then took a sip without any scruples.

"It's so sweet." Ogata put down and pursed his lips.

At this time, the man couldn't help asking: "Don't you care about your companions? After all, they haven't come back yet."

"Don't worry, you should be back soon." Ogata replied with a smile.

With Xiaojie's kind of little ghost who is close to nature, it should only take a short time to discover the identities of these monsters.Besides, Kurapika is also the kind of person with a calm mind, plus forget it, Kurapika and Xiaojie alone should be able to handle it.

Ogata automatically filtered Leorio, because this guy was a little careless when he was impulsive.
