Hunter x Hunter: My Nen Beast is Strong

Chapter 5 Fox Demon Beast

"ah--"

The silence in the room was shattered by a scream from a young woman. Two fox-like but three-meter-tall magical beasts chuckled and tried to flee as soon as they saw someone enter.

As soon as Ailiji clasped his hands together, dozens of sand-filled nets blocked the way out, trapping the two magical beasts inside the room.

This clearly surprised the two fox-like magical beasts!

Gaara needs to form hand seals to mobilize his chakra when using ninjutsu, but Eligi doesn't need to go through that trouble; he can use ninjutsu simply by putting his hands together.

However, the sand needed cannot be created out of thin air, so the firepower still depends on the sand and gravel provided by Gaara.

"Don't move around. You've all seen the power of those sand bullets, haven't you? If they really hit you, it won't just be a minor injury," Eligi warned them kindly, not wanting to hurt them, since he still needed these guys to get them to the exam hall.

If you really hurt the other person and ruin the relationship, then it will be difficult to ask them to take you to the exam.

"Hehehe—it's been a long time since I've met such a talented examinee as you," one of the fox-like magical beasts said with a laugh.

At that moment, the dark room lit up with a lamp; it was Kurapika who had lit the oil lamp.

When they heard the fox monster speak human language, Kurapika and his two companions all showed expressions of surprise.

Ailiji didn't want to waste time and be among the last to arrive at the examination hall, so he smiled and said, "You must be the guides, right? And this young couple must be your children, since you two smell a bit alike."

"Oh! You can actually recognize us by our scent, that's amazing!" One of the fox-like magical beasts looked surprised, it seemed that this time there was really an extraordinary examinee.

"Is there still an assessment to be conducted?" Eligi asked.

"Of course we'll test you. We have an apple in our hands. My wife and I will turn around, and if you can identify who has the apple, then you'll pass," one of the fox-like magical beasts said with a smile.

Clearly, letting Eligi pass the level like this made the two monsters a little unhappy.

"Alright, let's begin now." Eligi looked very anxious.

Seeing this, the two fox-like magical beasts did not delay. They led the group to an open space outside, and an apple appeared in their hands at some point. They clenched their four fists at the same time, and then the two fox-like magical beasts started spinning in circles.

At first, you could clearly see which fox monster held the apple, but after a while, it became a little dizzying to look at, especially since the two foxes looked exactly alike.

It was really hard to tell for a moment which fox demon had the apple.

"Hey, I'm getting a little confused. Do you guys even know which fox-like monster is holding the apple?" Leorio was the first to be confused.

However, Kurapika also shook his head, while only Gon stared intently, seemingly able to distinguish which fox-like monster was holding the apple.

At this moment, the two fox-like magical beasts finally stopped, looked at Eligi and the others, and chuckled, "You only have one chance. Who has the apple?"

"Xiao Jie, can you still tell the difference?" Ellige asked Xiao Jie, since he certainly couldn't.

However, Ailiji didn't leave without any backup plan; there was sand residue on the apple, which could be detected with careful sensing.

"It's this fox holding an apple. Its laughter is quite sharp, and its shape is easy to distinguish," Xiao Jie said, pointing to one of the fox monsters.

These words stunned both fox monsters. Kurapika and Leorio rubbed their eyes and looked at them repeatedly, unable to see any difference between the two fox monsters. They were exactly the same.

"Hehehe, hehehe, this little brat seems to be able to distinguish between us, husband and wife. How interesting! Have you decided on your answer yet?" one of the fox-like magical beasts asked with a laugh.

Now everyone looked at Eligi, waiting for his final confirmation, even Gon was among them.

Eligi smiled; this feeling of being trusted was truly wonderful. He naturally couldn't let everyone down, so he pointed to the two fox-like magical beasts and said with a smile, "The apple isn't in any of your hands. Open it!"

The two fox-like magical beasts were stunned again, then one of them smiled and said, "You've passed the level. I'll take you to the examination venue."

The fox-like monster did not open its palm in the end, but its response confirmed Eligi's judgment, which only reinforced the misconception that Eligi was very powerful.

But what's actually more powerful is Eligi's Nen beast Gaara.

However, Gaara was also materialized based on Erigi's memories, so it doesn't seem wrong to say that Erigi is very powerful.

And so, Eligi and his group successfully passed the test given by the fox monster family.

The fox monster was willing to take Eligi and his group of four to the examination venue. The way they got there was a bit special: they grabbed the fox monster's legs, and then the fox monster flew and carried the group to the venue.

Swinging dozens of meters in the air is truly a test of arm strength.

Fortunately, Gaara also has the ability to fly, so Eriji didn't have to hold onto the fox monster's legs and swing around in the sky.

The next morning, before dawn, the group arrived at the examination venue, led by the son of the fox demon beast.

The entrance to the venue is a barbecue restaurant. After entering and giving the correct password, you can take an elevator down to the underground.

And so, Ailiji and his group took the elevator directly to the underground tunnel. The moment the elevator doors opened, they could see hundreds of examinees waiting for the exam to begin.

Seeing the sheer number of candidates waiting, Ailiji guessed that his group might be among the last to arrive.

"Here are your number plates, please take them." A small, green, humanoid creature suddenly appeared. This thing looked like a green bean and a person at the same time, which was quite peculiar.

Eligi knew that the green creature was probably the Beanman, the secretary of the Hunter Association's president. It seemed to be a creature with little combat ability, but he wasn't really sure.

"Number 406, it seems there are over four hundred candidates for this exam, quite a lot of people."

Looking at the number plate, Eligi muttered to himself that he had indeed temporarily escaped the pursuit and could now enjoy the Hunter Exam journey in peace.

"Hehehe, you five all look unfamiliar. Is this your first time participating in the Hunter Exam?" A middle-aged man who looked like a sweet potato, with a very honest and reliable appearance, approached and greeted them.

Just by looking at this person's appearance, Eligi immediately thought of the great god Tonpa, an extremely powerful and terrifying person who had participated in the Hunter Exam more than fifty times.
