Under the flying abilities displayed by Roy and Eighteen, the candidates felt an immense pressure on their willpower.
Those who had already begun to slacken mentally completely collapsed.
One by one, they fell to the side of the path.
For example, at the beginning, a small, chubby man had been full of enthusiasm.
He pretended to act confident, mocking others with his computer.
Now, his computer fell to the ground.
His steps stumbled.
Sweat, tears, snot, and saliva mixed across his face.
Why?
Why is the Hunter x Hunter exam completely different from what I imagined?
And why can people fly during the exam?
I must be dreaming.
Yes, dreaming.
He laughed uncontrollably.
Another candidate completely lost control.
Originally, the little fat man had already been shaken by the verbal attacks of Dongba and Amori.
Now, he was directly overwhelmed by Roy and denied his own ability.
The little fat man was just one of many candidates who became demoralized and gave up.
Many others collapsed on the road, unable to continue.
The first stage of the Hunter x Hunter exam proceeded in this chaotic environment.
Meanwhile, due to impatience and boredom from the long-distance test, Eighteen and Roy reached the finish line quickly.
Getting lost was impossible for them.
The first checkpoint of the exam was at the Lost Beauty Wetlands.
The Lost Beauty Wetlands were home to rare beasts and monsters, all exuding strong life energy.
With Nen perception as a guide, Eighteen and Roy naturally did not get lost.
Even if they had, a simple Ki burst would have guided them out effortlessly.
Here it is? Eighteen looked around.
This is the Lost Beauty Wetlands, also known as the Fraudster's Lair.
It is almost the only path to the second stage of the exam.
In this wetland, there are many rare and exotic beasts unavailable elsewhere.
Most of these creatures feed on humans, cunning and greedy by nature.
From Saba City, where we started, we can see this wetland is very close.
Judging by the examiners' pace and direction, they should arrive here in about seven hours.
Roy and Eighteen arrived hours ahead of the main group.
They couldn't just wait idly.
That would be boring.
Roy turned to Eighteen.
Number Eighteen, shall we explore the forest?
There might be many rare beasts…
I hate humid environments.
I'll stay here. Eighteen brushed her blonde hair aside, speaking indifferently.
Roy continued, ignoring her, explaining the potential treasures in the wetland.
Rare beasts like horned scale bears, possibly containing hidden treasures.
Number 18 suddenly lit up, realizing the opportunity.
Hmm! These rare beasts are extremely valuable.
If we capture a few, then…
So what are we waiting for? she said eagerly.
But don't you hate humid conditions?
No! This is clearly a golden opportunity!
The scent of adventure was irresistible.
Eighteen's anger turned into excitement, and Roy quickly followed.
Number Eighteen asked, How many are you going to catch?
All of them!
Roy: ...
The rare and ferocious beasts of the Lost Beauty Wetlands were doomed.
In the following hours, Roy and Eighteen wreaked havoc.
They killed the dominant beasts, cleared their nests, and captured the leading beasts in universal capsules.
They spared ordinary creatures to maintain the wetland's ecological balance.
Ahem.
It was definitely not because Roy lacked universal capsules.
The dominant beasts were the strongest and most valuable.
Naturally, they became the primary targets.
Thus, the most disastrous hunting operation in the history of the Lost Beauty Wetlands was recorded.
The wetlands became a barren landscape under the unmatched skill of Roy and Eighteen.
