Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 131 Exam Preparation

There are no specific maps, and you can easily get lost in them.

This is a challenge for them, as the exam is also time-limited.

As for the martial artists who "hunt" them, since being lost affects them, the martial artists will naturally be affected as well, so it's a mixed bag.

"So do you know what the core is?" Russell asked again.

Is there any key clue?

The person in charge shook his head: "I really don't know about that. I've had a lot of dealings with the Pachi people, but now their villages have banned outsiders from entering."

"But it seems they will have to obtain it from the Pachi tribe."

Being responsible doesn't provide much useful information.

He also took out a book and introduced Russell and the others to the dangerous creatures in the Basen rainforest.

This book is still being updated.

Because the species in the Basen rainforest are changing.

Among them were the Blood Jade Bees that Lucci brought, as well as other creatures affected by the Blood Jade Honey.

The Pachi people use chanting to tame animals.

It also includes some organisms that the Conrad family brought from other places and introduced into the Basen rainforest.

In other words, their strength is not enough; otherwise, they might have started researching monsters like the Puwenla Group.

"The most dangerous things in the Basen rainforest are the various poisonous insects, but these can be mitigated with medication."

The medicine provided by the Pachi tribe can effectively repel poisonous insects.

Jin sniffed the insect repellent when she received it: "It has a faint fragrance, but is it okay?"

"While this smell might repel insects, it could also give us away, right?"

Jin didn't believe that martial artists wouldn't be able to smell it.

Moreover, some of those martial artists are Nen users; who knows what kind of strange and unusual abilities they might possess.

This means that even the use of deworming medication needs to be carefully considered.

"Tell me about the Patch tribe!" Russell emphasized the Patch tribe.

Since they want to obtain some kind of core, it must be related to the Patch tribe.

The process of this exam can be described as evading the hunting and pursuit of those martial artists, and then finding the location of the Patch tribe in the Basen Cloud Forest.

Then they obtained five cores from the Patch tribe.

Since there are five core elements, they must be of different types and may even be located in different places.

This can be easily associated with simple things.

"Most people don't know the details of the Patch Clan, but our Conrad family is different. If Lord Lucci is the examiner for this Hunter Exam..."

"Then I am very confident that you will need to fight the Patch tribe." The person in charge did not actually reveal much.

To be in this position, one must be no ordinary person.

He is also a Nen user.

"Young Master Russell, I must remind you that no matter what method you use to pass the Hunter Exam, it is best not to actually harm the Patch Tribe members."

Once a real fight breaks out, things can easily escalate.

The Patch tribe now retaliates very quickly against anyone who harms its members.

Even if they are from the Conrad family, the Patch family won't give them much face.

The person in charge explained some of the characteristics of Pachi clothing to everyone, so that at least they wouldn't be clueless if they encountered them.

"There are currently three legitimate adventure teams in the Basen Rainforest, one of which is led by a hunter."

There is also related information.

The Basen rainforest is vast, and no matter how xenophobic the Pachi people are, they cannot prevent everyone from entering it.

However, it's more standardized now.

Those teams that venture into the Basen rainforest need to obtain approval.

Without this approval qualification, one is very likely to be attacked if they encounter Pachi people in the Basen rainforest.

The reason I say "possibly" is because the outcome will naturally differ depending on the people you encounter.

Russell and his colleagues indicated that they had taken note of it.

Then we began preparations to enter the Basen rainforest, as not everyone has experience in wilderness survival.

They all decided that the team of five would split up and act separately.

If too many people gather together, they will attract too much attention and it will be easy for them to be caught in one fell swoop.

Enter the Basen rainforest via the official routes.

Hunter Association staff were waiting.

Each candidate was given an electronic watch with a 15-day countdown.

This is also a positioning device.

If a candidate wants to give up the exam, or needs assistance for unknown reasons, they can press the button on the electronic watch.

Of course, this also means completely giving up on the exam.

This is meant to provide some protection for the candidates' personal safety, but in reality, it's completely unnecessary because the Patch tribe can monitor them completely.

But it can cover up some of the truth.

The exam will officially begin at 6 p.m., and candidates can enter in advance, while martial artists and others will not start until 8 a.m. the next morning.

This information also illustrates many issues.

The core cannot be obtained in a short period of time.

In a certain room, Jin's team was located.

"The items have been delivered!"

A large box was pushed into the room.

Unlike others, Russell obtained a great deal of things through the Conrad family's connections.

The box was opened, revealing various tight-fitting clothes and swords, all bearing the marks of the body.

"It's a divine-grade equipment!" DuPont exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the contents of the box.

They were actually quite familiar with these things.

Even players on the 200th floor can buy it if they want.

However, they never bought any, because most of their money was spent on cultivation.

Divine equipment can certainly enhance strength, but unfortunately they don't have the money.

This is not something that ordinary people can afford.

"These divine equipment items can be quite useful even without activating them with mental power."

The weapons are very sharp and can handle various situations in Basen Cloud Forest.

As for tight-fitting clothing, it can effectively prevent many poisonous insects in the Basen rainforest.

Russell could only supply these divine-grade equipment to his own team; he couldn't help the other teams.

"Hurry up and change into it, see if it fits?"

"This is an antidote developed by our family. It can deal with most toxins. Even if we don't need it, it can help others."

Three test tubes per person.

"This communicator allows communication between industrial bases located near the Basen Rainforest."

The fact that the group is operating as a five-person team does not mean that they will not separate after entering the Basen rainforest.

Communication tools are definitely needed.

After making all the preparations, Russell's five-person team immediately entered the Basen rainforest.

We'll start by following the established route to the industrial base, observing the situation along the way before making any decisions.

Enter directly by car.

After all, industrial bases also need transportation to transport raw materials.
