Hunter x Hunter: The Ubiquitous Dragon Life

Chapter 211: The second trial of the hunter exam (3)

The whistling cold wind brought a violent airflow, and the sound was shrill and piercing across the gray-yellow earth. Under the feet were dry and cracked loess blocks, black porous stones as large as pebbles and sparse withered grass all over it, looking at the horizon, At the end of the desert, there is an endless desert, extending all the way to the distance. In the extreme distance, from time to time, you can see a number of slender sand dune pillars that dance with the wind and go straight to the sky. In the distance, you can't see anything. It was a dim yellow shrouded in this emptiness of the desert.

Cellulu pushed back her long hair that was blocking her sight again, and then finally unbearably took out a headband, braided all her long hair into a braid, and placed it on her chest.

Huh, it's finally refreshing and clear, although it's a little cold, Celluloid shrinks her neck, but she doesn't put on the hat of her sweater, this kind of strong wind, even if you wear it, it will be blown off very quickly, so don't waste it. strength.

"Speaking of which, the wind here is really strong enough. After about another kilometer, you will enter the desert." The knight smiled and watched Cellulu tie her braids. She was also very cute with her braids.

"It's a little boring." Hisoka said a little boringly. They have been walking for more than an hour, but they haven't entered the desert area of the main topic. This speed is a bit slow. He can't wait to leave the army and go out hunting candidates. But I didn't find any ideal fruit, and finally came back, but this speed..., alas~ Only at this time will Hisoka feel that Cellulo's physique like an ordinary person is a bit nerve-racking.

"Actually, the two of you go first, and I'll catch up later." Cellulu naturally saw that Hisoka's interest was lacking, and the knight also deliberately slowed down to match her speed. It must be within three days. It's not impossible to pass through this 400-kilometer-long desert with a normal person's physical strength, but it will be more difficult. Of course, if you teleport, there is not so much trouble, but she doesn't know where the end of the desert is. The teleport of the purpose will only move in the wrong direction. The teleport of a short distance can be used, but it is too early to use it at present. After all, there will be unknown dangers waiting for all candidates in this test. I don't want to be exhausted when I need it most.

But this is her consideration, but there is no need to let the knights and the others slow down the progress.

"Oh, don't worry anymore, take your time." The knight grinned and refused directly.

"Well, forget it." Hisoka didn't even think about rejecting it, although his expression was still full of boredom.

Kim and Pariston followed the three of them three steps away. They could not be too close, nor could they walk in front of them, because it was easy for them to accidentally give a hint or guide to move forward. However, how to pass the desert without getting lost is also a part of the test. Therefore, at this time, Jin can only stare resentfully at Hisoka and the knight standing beside Cellulu, full of depression. He listened to them chatting, but he couldn't join in, ah, if it wasn't for Parisstone's interference, he wouldn't mind this kind of regulation at all!

Jin glared at Pariston beside him unhappily, he smiled, and even after feeling the sight of resentment, he asked pretending to be worried.

"Oh, Miss Cellulu's speed is a bit slow, can you really pass the second test like this?"

"You'd better not underestimate her, otherwise, it will definitely hurt when you get slapped in the face." Jin smiled confidently, pun and meaningful.

"Haha, I'll wait and see." Pariston also took back the extra meaning, a dazzling smile, and eager excitement appeared in his eyes.

Tsk, when Jin turned back, this was the most annoying thing. No matter how difficult or difficult it was, he couldn't scare this person back, and it would only make him even worse.

Under this kind of slow but not dangerous walking, they finally entered the desert area, and their feet turned into soft yellow sand. When they stepped on it, it was a depression, and the walking began to become laborious, just like walking in water. In general, it is full of resistance and gravity, and can only walk with one foot and one foot. In this desert area, if you have to run fast, it will be a more physically consuming thing.

The wind became stronger, and the speed almost reached more than 90 kilometers per hour. The sound of the wind has become a deafening noise that is almost like a female ghost screaming. It makes people feel irritable for no reason. Cellulu frowned, She was standing in the desert, which was not stable enough. The wind was strong, and it was not easy to fix her body. At this time, she was already swayed by the wind. She struggled to maintain her balance. When the knight and Hisoka saw this, At the same time, he stretched out his hand to hold her, and then when he realized that the other party was also pulling her, he pulled Cellulu towards him.

Cellulu felt like the child who was robbed by two mothers, but there is no real mother here who would feel sorry for the child and let go. Only two **** with super exclusive desires still looked at each other defiantly and defiantly. However, the strength in her hands grew stronger. Cellulu, who was used as a tug-of-war rope, unhappily bounced off the hands of the two people at the same time. The next second, she suddenly lost the pulling force and was blown by a gust of wind. A green onion was planted in front of it, and it was buried in the sand.

"Cellulo." The knight squatted down to help him. Hisoka's flexible love had already pulled Cellulo out. His voice was weakened a lot by the wind. Even at a very close distance, it still sounded vaguely .

"Hmm, little Lulu, be careful~"

It's not the two of you. Cellulu glanced at the two of them resentfully. Hisoka's thoughts were still stuck to her back, but it also reduced the possibility of being blown down again. Therefore, Cellulu directly rejected the knight. The hand-in-hand proposal, the knight glanced at the slender thought line connecting Hisoka and Cellulu, and for the sake of no direct physical contact, he endured it, and finally each went his own way.

Jin watched from behind, and had the urge to rush up several times. Those two guys only knew that they were jealous, so how could they not take care of others? Jin’s feet tickled and slapped the ground constantly. Pariston laughed a little funny. .

"Mr. Jin, you care about Miss Cellulu very much, but those two men seem to have a crush on Miss Cellulu. Are you rivals in love? But Miss Cellulu's attitude seems to be a little subtle. Ah~"

"It's none of your business!" Jin didn't want to mention any more and just pushed it back to the end. The more he said, the more mistakes he made, and the more information he could analyze for Pariston.

Pariston didn't speak again. Originally speaking in such a strong windy day in the desert area was asking for guilt, and one mouth could eat a stomach of sand. Soon, the five walking people had to bow their heads, use their arms or It was the front of the clothes that blocked the violent sandstorm and moved forward.

In front of them, there were also a large number of candidates, scattered in all directions, as if they were caught in some predicament, and the travel routes were unusually circuitous and irregular, and even Cellulu saw someone walking around like a headless fly or Backtracking, and the reason, Celluloid quickly knew.

The strong wind speed has driven the rapid and drastic changes in the desert terrain. Often, the sand dunes that I saw not long ago have become troughs when I actually walked. The troughs that I thought were safe, in front of the constantly blowing sand, for a while. It can be buried up to their knees. In order to move forward, the candidates and they have to change the route frequently to avoid being buried, but this way of constantly changing the route can avoid being buried, but it is easy to cause the loss of direction. This is why There will be a large number of candidates staying here and acting in a roundabout way or even going backwards.

On their side, it was the knight who kept observing the dim sun in the sky to correct the violent deviation of the direction. Cellulu tightly grasped both sides of the brim of the sweater to prevent it from being blown off by the wind, and worked hard to follow. Behind the knights, they were now in a straight line, with the knights walking in the front, her next, and the rear of Hisoka, and Jin and Pariston were not far behind them.

This is already the level of a sandstorm, Cellulu sighed, and followed the knight to avoid a dune that was about to form.

Suddenly, a scene not far away caught her attention. The two candidates were walking, and suddenly they began to struggle violently, as if they were still shouting something, but they were completely inaudible because of the violent wind. What, right after that, I saw the two candidates sinking into the water as if they had fallen into the water. After a while, they passed their chests. Now, even if they couldn't hear what they were shouting, Celluloid knew how to respond. something happened.

It was quicksand, and they fell into quicksand, and obviously the speed of the quicksand was extremely astonishing. Just in such a stupefied effort as Cellulu, the heads of both of them had completely submerged into the desert, and only two hands were left in vain. It struggled upwards, but quickly disappeared.

The wind and sand blew past, as if there had never been two figures there.

When the people around them saw this, they were horrified and quickly moved away from the area to prevent themselves from falling into the quicksand area.

"There is quicksand here, everyone be careful." After the knight warned, he was even more careful.

Celluloid nodded and looked away, but this area was obviously a quicksand gathering area. After a while, several groups of candidates encountered quicksand, and most of them died. Only a few candidates were lucky enough to be in the quicksand. At the junction of the normal desert, candidates with companions were rescued by their companions, but those who came to the exam alone could only sink helplessly. Even if he begged for help, no one came to save him.

"Hmm, people really can't live without a partner~" Hisoka shrugged when he saw this scene.

"Haha, it's not like what you would say, I thought you were a lonely wolf in the end of the world." The knight said with a smile.

"It's only at times like this~" Hisoka admitted without any rebuttal.

Cellulu smiled and listened, the three of them continued to walk forward, but as they were walking, suddenly a sticky feeling came from their feet at the same time. quicksand.

"Celullu!" Because Jin and Pariston were far away from them, they hadn't entered the quicksand range. Seeing that something was wrong, Jin immediately wanted to rush over.

Pariston didn't stop it, but said something very leisurely. "Mr. Jin, if you pass this time, the three of them will definitely fail the exam. Do you really want to do this?"

Jin paused for a moment, glared at Pariston angrily, and then, looking back at the three of them, he couldn't make a move, unless the three of them really couldn't get out of trouble on their own.

Jin stared at the three of them nervously. After the three of them were surprised for a moment, Cellulu wondered if she flew directly out of the quicksand range, but looked at Paris Stone and others who seemed to be watching not far away. Their candidates, she hesitated again. At this time, the knight has calmed down, and he raised his voice slightly.

"Sit down and lie down immediately, open your hands wide, increase the stress area, take a deep breath, take as deep a breath as possible, and release the items at hand."

When Cellulu heard this, she decided to do as the knights said. It was not too late to fly out and rescue them. The two of them immediately followed suit, feeling as if their bodies were floating on the sea in the soft and damp sand. The body slowly floated up, and the feet no longer felt sticky, the knight said again.

"After staying afloat, slowly pull your feet out, then roll sideways and move back, moving slowly in the direction of Kim."

As he spoke, he quickly pulled out his foot, but Cellulu felt that her foot was too heavy and could not be pulled out no matter what. "Knight, no, I can't get my feet out."

"Hmm, me too~" Hisoka was also exerting force, but he tried a little harder. Not only did he fail to pull out his feet, but instead let his body sink a lot, and he also drove the surrounding people. The two of them also sank a little.

The knight immediately exclaimed, "Don't move, Hisoka, don't move! Vibration can easily drive the quicksand to sink faster."

Seeing that Hisoka and Cellulu didn't move, and the speed of the quicksand sinking also changed back to the slow rhythm before, the knight wiped a cold sweat with lingering fears, and he calmed down and said.

"I remember both of you are wearing boots. That thing tends to create huge resistance when you pull out your feet. You two find a way to take off your boots, and then try to pull your feet out. Be sure to take your time and move. Take it easy!"

Cellulu and Hisoka kicked off their boots carefully and slowly, and then felt a sudden light on their feet, and this time they easily pulled them out.

The knight only said when he saw that both of their feet were free. "Well done, but now we're a little deeper than before, so we can't roll sideways to get out, backstroke can do it, everyone keep this position, slide your arms back slowly, and push your body to a safe place. "

The knowledge of the knight has played a great role at this time. According to what he said, Cellulu and Hisoka found that their bodies were no longer sinking, and they were slowly moving towards the safety zone. Cellulu was the lightest. Therefore, she was the fastest to escape. After realizing that she had touched the soft but firm desert, she quickly rolled over and finally escaped from the quicksand area.

She stood up quickly, and Wu Xia rushed to her, seemingly confirming that she was okay, and Cellulu just shouted at Hisoka.

"Xiso, I'm running back now, remember to pull yourself up."

"Huhu, does Xiao Lulu want to pull me? But it's alright, I can. The main reason is that Xiao Lulu's strength is too weak to pull me." Hisoka rejected Cellulu's offer with a smile. Good intentions, although the flexible love that sticks to Celluloid's back is elastic, the further the distance between the two, the greater the elasticity of retraction, but Celluloid's light weight is small and weak, and this elasticity is ultimately unknown to him. Should I pull Cellulu to my side?

Cellulu froze for a moment, then looked at the knight again. She originally thought that after pulling Hiso up, he could use his flexible love to pull the knight up too, but now, if they can't come up, they can only I used my ability to save them, but fortunately, although the two moved slowly, they finally rolled to the safety zone without any risk.

Both the knight and Hisoka were covered in sand, and their clothes felt extremely uncomfortable. The two immediately slapped their bodies all over. Cellulu felt relieved, only to realize that Jin was also slapping the sand for her, and she quickly thanked her.

"Thank you, Kim."

Jin had already cleaned up the outside for her. Looking at her feet in thin socks, he frowned.

"There are all kinds of poisonous insects in the desert, and it's too cold to travel long distances without shoes. I'll give you my shoes."

Pariston spoke again. "Wait a minute, Mr. Jin, I'll leave it alone if you clean up the sand for Miss Cellulu. After all, it won't affect the exam, but giving her the shoes will have a big impact on the exam."

"Pariston..." Before Kim and Parison could clash again, Cellulu hurriedly interrupted. "It's alright, Kim, your shoes are too big for my feet to be of no use to me, and with socks in there, you're not completely barefoot."

Kim then gave up reluctantly, Pariston still smiling.

Hisoka finished slapping his body, looked at the personal belongings that hadn't sunk in the distance, and rescued something with his flexible love. Cellulu brought a small bag, which contained some dry food, drinking water and replacement clothes, but Her things were the heaviest, so they sank and could not be rescued. The knight and Xi Suo each brought a little change of clothes, without any food and water, and their things came back in good condition. As for the musical instruments, only the lute and guzheng Because of its large size, it survived the disaster, but the flute sank.

The three men repaired for a while, and then started the road again. This time, they walked more carefully. While paying attention to the quicksand, they faced the strong wind and kept avoiding the sandstorm. After they got there, Celluloid was a little numb, and just swayed mechanically. He followed the knight in front of him tightly with his legs, and when he came back to his senses again, he realized that the wind had gradually weakened, and the dim sun was half-fading and hung at the end of the horizon. It was already dusk, dim and blurry. In the desert, strange and terrifying black porous and thin rocks began to appear one by one.

This dark rock has one every ten steps. It is not high, only about two meters. It is about the height of a strong man, and its width is about the same as that of a strong fat man. To describe these rocks, because Celluloid found them to be too human-like.

Yes, these rocks are like the corpses of people who have been burned and dried up by the fire and formed after years of weathering. They have a rough torso shape, and even the top of the rock seems to be the place where the face is suspected. The position of the perforation is exactly where the eyes, nose and mouth should be, and the shape of the hole is very hideous, making people look at those rocks as if they are laughing and crying.

Cellulu glanced at it, and felt a little creepy and didn't dare to look at it again, but these rocks became denser and denser, and at the end, it was like an army array covering the entire desert, and each one resembled a human being. The same, but with slightly different postures, different shapes, but only one thing is the same, these dark rocks like human corpses are extremely terrifying.

Celluloid walked through these dense rock groups, as if a group of scorched black mummies looked down from the top of her head maliciously. She felt extremely bad, and it made her hair stand up to the extreme. She couldn't help but unconsciously walk. A little closer to the knight.

The knight noticed and smiled. "Hee hee, Cellulu, are you scared? However, the reason why this desert is called the Desert of the Undead is because of these rocks? It's quite vivid, as if an entire army died here."

Celluloid pursed her lips and didn't say anything, Hisoka came up, stretched out her hand generously, and said with a smile.

"Little Lulu, if you're afraid, my fiery embrace will be open for you to hide at any time (*＾-＾*

Celluloid glanced at him sullenly, not wanting to say that she was really scared, it wasn't like a psychological illusion, but there was a real terror spreading, as if something vibrated in the air, making one's scalp tremble. Numbness, numbness in the fingertips, extremely fast heartbeat, and intense secretion of adrenaline, as if these rocks would become something terrifying in the next moment.

Jin also frowned slightly worriedly. Once night falls in this black rocky area, some incredible phenomena will occur. Although it is impossible to prove whether this is a natural formation or the influence of residual thoughts, the origin of the title of Undead Desert is absolutely Not only because these rocks looked like undead, but he couldn't give them any hints.

The knight looked at Cellulu's lack of energy, and felt that her fear was cute and at the same time soft-hearted and distressed. He walked to a rock and observed it carefully for a while, and even peeled off a stone with all his strength, and then took it. Said in front of Celluloid.

"This is a genuine rock. You can feel this fragment. It belongs to a type of volcanic rock. It is dark and porous. It's just a coincidence that it grows like this."

"Yeah." Cellulu took the rocks, which were indeed ordinary rocks. Although she knew that this kind of fear was too much, she couldn't be relieved when she saw those rocks, and could only respond with a forced smile.

The sky was getting dark, and they had been walking for almost a day today. Even though the knight and Hisoka were still physically strong, they didn't plan to hurry up without sleepless nights, and they had to take into account Celluloid, so the knight was looking for a leeward After the rock, they were ready to rest. Many candidates also had the same idea as them. Celluloid walked all the way and saw at least dozens of candidates scattered in different corners to stop and rest.

Before the sky was completely dark, the knight and Hisoka went out to hunt the prey for the night. There were no creatures in this desert area. Hisoka caught an extremely ugly but not small black-gray lizard. The knight brought A string of a dozen or so gerbils came back. Although they were all things that made people feel a little complimented, they should not pay too much attention to this kind of place. Cellulu looked at Pariston not far away, and hesitated. At one point, it directly compressed and gathered the moisture in the air, forming a large water ball. It was difficult to obtain water in this place. If she could hide her ability, it would be unreasonable.

She held a water polo to the knight and Xisuo Dao. "This is the water used to wash the prey. Also, if possible, can we use a stone to make a stone pot and a stone bowl? We need to add some water."

"Hmm~ Then I'll make a stone pot and stone bowl." Hisoka immediately grabbed a job that didn't feel so disgusting, but there was no imbalance in the knight, because Cellulu also came to help him clean it together.

Pariston's eyes lit up, and he conjured a water polo out of thin air. Is this the girl's special ability? He was about to speak, but Jin coldly blocked him back.

"Shut up if you have any questions. Cellulu is not obliged to answer you, nor will she answer you."

Pariston looked back at Jin, with a clear warning flashing in his eyes. He looked at the girl again, but found that the girl avoided his gaze, obviously not wanting to talk much, and didn't want him to ask more. The other two A man, although there is no movement, but the momentum he exudes is a feeling that he better be silent.

Pariston didn't say anything in the end, but stuck his chin with a smile, and fell back into thinking for something.

The sky was completely dark, and the fire became the only light between the sky and the earth, not only theirs, but also other candidates, dotted with stars, decorating this dark desert.

They made two fires. The stone pots were placed on two large stones, and gerbil soup was boiled in them. On the other fire, big lizards were roasted on skewers with thick dead branches. There was no salt. Without seasonings, Celluloid is also a skillful cook without rice. It can only be said that it can fill the stomach, it will not be burnt or undercooked, but the taste cannot be expected too much.

Cellulo distributed the stewed soup and roasted meat to everyone, but Pariston declined. He brought dry food and water himself. Cellulo did not force it, and it was not a delicacy, since he had food , it's normal to not want to go ahead, Jin also brought dry food and water, but Parisstone still wouldn't give it to Cellulu and the others, so Jin, in a fit of anger, went with Cellulu and the others through weal and woe.

After finishing the meal, Celluloid sat by the fire in a daze. The night in the desert was very cold, especially in the winter, even if there was a fire, it was still of no avail. Celluloid curled up, still feeling unstoppably cold. It kept coming, and after walking all day, the socks had long been worn out by the sand. Her feet were just casually wrapped in clothes, but they couldn’t resist the cold at all. Celluloid’s toes kept coming. They rubbed each other, but their toes were still cold and wooden.

When the knight saw it, he directly pulled Cellulu's feet into his arms. Cellulo didn't sit firmly and almost fell on her back, but instead of falling on the hard ground, she fell into a warm embrace. Cellulu was stunned and then realized that she was being held in his arms by Hisoka, the warm high heat from her back continued to hit, and the feet that fell into the arms of the knight were also quickly heated by the knight's hands.

In addition to being touched, she was still a little awkward. She always felt that it was a bit shameful. Why did it seem like some kind of stallion hugging from side to side, and she immediately struggled.

"Knight, Hisoka, I'm fine, I'm not cold, let me go."

"Little Lulu listens too much, so keep your mouth shut, or I don't mind using your mouth to make you unable to speak." Hisoka sounded lazily above his head. Lu hugged a little tighter.

The knight glared at Hisoka in dissatisfaction, and then complained to Cellulu. "It's not cold, your feet are obviously cold like ice cubes, aren't you? Well, don't say anything, I won't let go, you should rest early, you're tired all day today, right? Your physical strength is no different from that of ordinary people. If you don’t want us to walk tomorrow, you will obediently go to sleep, and occasionally you will quietly obey us.”

Celluloid pursed her lips, and finally nodded her face with a burning panic, accepting this shy and embarrassing but heart-warming concern.

Jin is on the side but can't wait to bite the veil, if it weren't for Parisstone! If it weren't for Parisstone! He can also go up and warm up Cellulo.

"Mr. Jin, this is the first time I know that a man's jealousy can be so ugly." And Pariston actually dared to add fuel to the fire and laughed.

"Paris, one day, I will make you laugh no more." After Jin was mad, he looked at the Paris channel with extreme indifference.

"Haha, many people say so like you, but no one can do it so far." Pariston smiled and spread his hands.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Well, because love is abused, I have some doubts about why Celluloid didn’t fly out of the quicksand immediately, so I’d better add some celluloid’s ideas, including the place where the water polo was made later, which is also more intuitive, so as not to cause More questions.

There is one more update, it should be updated tomorrow night.
