Chapter 12, First Exam
At this moment, Hisoka felt as if his body had been hit hard, and it was extremely difficult to move even a little. However, he still managed to control the "Easy-to-Stretch Love" that had been stuck to his body to contract, causing his body to quickly leave the spot.
"Bungee Gum" is one of Hisoka's abilities, possessing the stickiness and elasticity of chewing gum.
The longer the stretch, the greater the rebound force, which is why Hisoka can move quickly without exerting any force.
Hisoka developed "Bungee Gum," which is practically like Spider-Man's webs.
Hisoka wanted to escape, but Eliji naturally wouldn't let go of this dangerous enemy.
But just as Eligi was about to catch up and finish off Hisoka, several pins forced him to stop.
"Illumi?" Eligi stopped in his tracks. The surroundings were shrouded in mist, and rushing in would easily expose him to Illumi's attack.
But being controlled by Illumi is no joke!
So Elijah loaded his pistol with bullets, preparing to kill Hisoka completely with a curse.
"Hey, you bastard, you've completely messed up the whole thing about worshipping the evil god! It's outrageous! The evil god will be very unhappy about this!" Hidan shouted.
Eligi paused for a moment, then looked down and realized that he had disrupted the formation, which meant the curse had lost its effect, hence Hidan's displeasure.
Seeing Hidan's state, Eriji couldn't help but complain, "Isn't it all because you're dawdling!"
"Do you even know how to worship the evil god? Forget it, I don't want to talk to someone like you who has no respect for the evil god at all." Hidan gets angry just like a child.
"Forget it, let's hurry to the exam venue. Hisoka is so badly injured, he'll probably bleed to death. Even if he doesn't die, he won't be able to cause any trouble." After analyzing the situation, Eligi decided to leave Hisoka alone.
The three then proceeded to the final location of the exam.
Just as the exam was about to end, the three of them finally arrived at their destination.
Eligi glanced around the arena. Everyone who was supposed to be there had arrived. Even Hisoka appeared as if nothing had happened, but his clothes were completely red and his lips were pale, clearly signs of excessive blood loss.
"Hehehe!" Hisoka smiled at Eligi when he saw him looking over.
Seeing this, Ailiji smiled and mouthed, "Looking forward to your next dance!"
"Eriji, are you alright?" Kurapika and Gon's group approached.
Kurapika and Leorio actually witnessed a bit of Erige's battle, but they wisely left in the end. Therefore, when Hisoka arrived at the venue, they couldn't help but feel worried about Erige and his group.
"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine," Eligi said, then chatted with Xiao Jie and the others.
Satsuki glanced at Hisoka and Elijah, then muttered to himself, "Looks like this guy has the advantage. That's good, without Hisoka's interference, the match should proceed smoothly."
Sarts withdrew his gaze and, seeing the clock on the manor directly in front of him reach twelve o'clock, said, "The exam time is up. Congratulations to all the candidates present. You have successfully passed the first test. The second test will now take place in the manor ahead."
After Satsuki finished speaking, he vanished without a trace, leaving a group of examinees looking around in bewilderment.
At this moment, the door to the second exam opened, revealing a very spacious courtyard filled with hundreds of open-air kitchen counters.
If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a competition venue for a food show.
Seeing this scene, Ailiji couldn't help but scratch his head. Although he knew the exam questions in advance, he had no way to pass the test because he was not a chef.
Although Eligi was somewhat troubled, he wasn't too worried, because he knew that since no one passed, the president of the Hunter Association would personally intervene and change the rules of the food competition.
"Welcome to the second test. The test topic is roasted pig! As long as you get my and Buhali's approval, you can pass the competition directly."
Wearing only underwear underneath and a mesh bag on top, the hot examiner, Menqi, announced the exam questions directly.
When the exam question was about roasted pig, all the candidates present were dumbfounded and didn't understand what was going on.
But soon, the ground began to shake violently, and a group of pink piglets rushed over. These were the Magpie-nosed Crazy Pigs.
The Magnolia Boar weighs as much as a full-grown horse; most people couldn't lift it. Moreover, the Magnolia Boar is so large that it's difficult to hunt.
The exam mainly tests the candidates' observation skills and basic knowledge.
Upon seeing the pig, the group of examinees immediately had a goal and rushed out to hunt the monstrous boar.
However, many people suffered broken bones and tendons from being hit by the horde of monstrous boars, and some unlucky ones were even trampled to death.
The main reason is that the group had just completed a run of seventy or eighty kilometers, and many people had not yet recovered their strength, so their agility was greatly reduced, which eliminated those who barely managed to persevere once again.
Knowing what was going to happen next, Eligi said directly, "We'll just hunt a wild boar." As he spoke, he made a gun gesture with his hand, then jumped high and shot at the head of the boar with the big nose.
This is the weakness of the Giant Nose Boar; if it is hit on the head by an object the weight of an apple, it will faint.
To this end, the Magnolia evolved a hard nose to protect its forehead.
"Boom—"
The knocked-down boar glided a short distance on the ground, and Aliji easily lifted the boar, which weighed over a thousand pounds.
In the past, it would have been unimaginable to carry such a large wild boar.
After carrying the wild boar back, they needed to figure out how to cook it, so Eligi looked at Gaara and Hidan and asked, "Can either of you cook?"
Gaara shook his head, while Hidan simply said, "Tsk, what's so important about cooking compared to serving the Jashin-sama and performing the killing ritual?"
Ailiji felt somewhat helpless at this, but fortunately he knew a little about cooking and had made kiln-roasted chicken before.
I've never made kiln-roasted pig before, since pork isn't cheap, and if I fail, I could lose thousands of dollars.
So, Eriji started directing Gaara and Hidan to get a pig.
"Gaara, make a sandpit. Hidan, bleed that pig. This is the Jashin's best stuff. Be serious," Eligi instructed, while he went to prepare charcoal.
He planned to bury the monstrous boar underground, then use the charcoal fire above to heat the sand and steam the boar, preserving its original flavor.
