In the dark cave passage, four people were walking on the smooth road, and the footsteps kept echoing in the empty corridor...

Leoli walked in front, with a metal lighter in his hand, emitting a fire in the dark cave tunnel illuminating the front. Okabaya and others followed him and talked along the way.

The topic we are focusing on is the tour guide couple living under the silver fir tree on the top of this mountain.

Because everyone knows that if you want to rely on the tour guide to take them to the real exam venue, you should have to undergo rigorous tests. As for the content of the test, they have no idea.

"The exit of this cave is ahead." Leoli looked happy when he saw the light at the exit of the cave. After walking for nearly two hours, he had lost his patience and his lighter was already burning hot.

Upon hearing this, Ogata and the others looked at the direction of the exit that Leoli said. They had indeed seen the light source, but they didn't know if it would be under the silver fir tree on the top of the mountain after walking out.

It is difficult to figure out where this cave passage that seems to be formed naturally in the dark cave.

Leoli turned off the lighter, speeding up his pace, with joy and expectation on his face to walk out of this passage.

The same is true for Ogata and the others. After walking about two hours, they have greatly exhausted everyone's patience.

When everyone stood at the exit of the passage and looked at it, everyone's faces couldn't help but look strange.

"It's actually a lake, damn it!" Leoli clenched his fists and looked at the rippling water in front of him. He seemed clear and rippling under the bright moonlight. He had no mood to calm down and stop and watch.

Like the impatient Leoli, Ogata and the others were not interested in this lake. What they cared about was how to get under the silver fir tree and find the tour guide couple who were responsible for leading them on the top of the mountain.

"We should be asked to row over." Kurapika noticed that in the corner of the lake, a small boat that could just accommodate the four of them, and analyzed rationally.

Hearing this, everyone looked at the boat. The boat was very small and broken, but it was just a rope. There were slappeds inside. It was obviously impossible to cross the ocean, but it was still feasible to say that it was to spend this lake.

Xiaojie expressed his joy: "It seems that we can only take this boat, row through this lake, and reach the other side of the shore."

It is indeed as he said, the only choice left for everyone is to row and spend this lake. There is no other way, so you can't turn back the same way. You are looking for other ways out.

Leoli and Kurapika nodded in agreement, only Okata stared at the ship thinking.

Obviously, there was a ship here. I was waiting for them to use it on purpose.

So what Okabata thought was that if the tour guide couple was really waiting for them across the lake, then the couple must have known that they had successfully passed the old lady's test, but did not show up directly at this time, but instead put a boat here and asked everyone to take the initiative to find them. What does this mean?

Okata smiled slightly. The tour guide couple must have wanted to pretend to be a fool and create a new round of test questions for them to solve. Thinking of the old lady at the foot of the mountain who praised him for being a smart person, it is not difficult to guess that the tour guide will create problems, and it seems... it is the most difficult question on the way, otherwise it would not be set up at the last level that is about to arrive at the examination venue.

Leoli and the others got on the boat one after another, and Ogata finally walked up gently and sat cross-legged at the stern.

The paddle work is left to people with good physical strength and strength... Obviously, Ogata, who seems to be "super and weak", is not suitable for this job, because compared with the other three, he has no advantage in terms of physical fitness.

So this kind of work was handed over to the volunteer Leoli!

Obviously Leoli is very smart. He realized that besides Okata, he is the oldest among these four people. Moreover, he has always been very confident in his own strength and believes that he will not lose to others.

Leo rolled up his sleeves, loosened his tie, exposed his strong arms, held the sculls indifferently, and began to sway gently on the lake.

The boats slowly moved in the ripples on the water surface. Under the clear lake, it seemed that one or two fish could be caught by the naked eye to swim. When the bright moonlight shone on this lake, it was pleasing to the eye, and there was also a kind of quiet satisfaction.

Xiaojie and Kurapika sat at the bow to pay attention to the movements in front, while Ogata was responsible for being vigilant of the dangers behind, while Leoli was fully responsible for the boating work. Everyone came from Whale Island to Dorie Island, with the same goal, crossed the sea and the mountain, and had established the most basic tacit understanding and friendship.

As the ship sailed into the middle of the lake, there were no ups and downs along the way, like an ordinary night.

But as there seemed to be some strange "rattle" sounds around the lake, all of which were broken.

"Be careful of the beasts and monsters nearby, and always feel that this lake is not peaceful." At this time, Kurapika removed his sword from behind and his eyes became sharp.

Hearing Kurapika's words, Xiaojie nodded, his perception was the strongest among the four people, and he also kept his eyes fixed: "There are indeed traces of other creatures appearing here."

"Warcraft?" Okao's eyes blinked. He knew the beast, but he didn't have a definite understanding of what the monster was. But it was not difficult to guess. In theory, the monster they mentioned should be a creature with a higher level of wisdom than the beast. But it might be possible to have strange abilities or something.

Leoli rowed the boat hard. He was the closest person to Okata, but he did not notice the doubts on the latter's face.

When the fluctuations on the lake surface seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and the ripples that were originally hooked by the oars gradually turned into circles of tides spreading in all directions, suddenly a large splash of water splashed, followed by a terrifying roar that was deafening.

Okara's eyes narrowed. He quickly pulled out the scalpel inserted into the leather from his hand. His entire narrow hull stood up. In the direction of the stern, he was directly facing a monster hiding deep in the bottom of the lake, grinning with his bloody mouth, shaking its body wildly with its white fangs.

"Leoli!" Xiaojie and Kurapika's faces changed, and they hurriedly urged Leoli to speed up the paddles and avoid the pursuit of this huge monster as much as possible.

When Leoli noticed the monster, his scalp numb. His face changed, and his arms quickly shook his oars. The originally floating boat seemed to be installed on a high-speed engine, breaking the waves directly on the lake surface, with an indomitable momentum.

And this python-like monster did not give up and chased after it. It wandered in the lake, like a human being running on land, exerting its instinctive predation in a specific environment.

"roar!"

I watched the eyes of these pair of lanterns approaching me in a round manner.

Okabaya suddenly shook out the scalpel inside his hand. At the same time, he connected it with the qi and controlled it as he pleased!

The tip of the scalpel reveals its sharpness and stabs it towards the python's head!

"Bang!" The scalpel hit the top of the python's head, and the black scales refracted the moonlight, swallowing the silver-white sharpness.

The momentum of the blade came to an abrupt end. The scalpel did not fall into the monster's flesh layer, but instead made a resound similar to a metal impact. A terrifying scene occurred, and the attack that he was determined to win was difficult to shake its defense.

Damn it. Okabata's eyes turned cold and did not retract his scalpel. Instead, in the surprised eyes of Kurapika and Xiaojie, the scalpel rotated at an extremely fast speed, forming a cold vortex.

After a while, the scalpel attacked the python's head again.

Silver light twists and arrogance!

However, this time, with the tip of the knife as the intermediate point, the destructive force of the entire hand blade became terrifying during the high-speed rotation. The half of the blade body was like a drill bit, slowly breaking through the monster's flesh layer, and it seemed to easily fall into its flesh.

The strange-colored blood slowly penetrated along the hilt of the scalpel and dripped into the lake, turning into a large color as dark as ink...

The monster yelled like crazy, and the entire lake became more dangerous than the sea level. Its body caused huge waves and hit the boat, and everyone felt that it might capsize at any time.

Fortunately, with Leoli's efforts, the ship was approaching the shore.

Okao recalled his scalpel, and the huge monster seemed to be unable to approach the land. With his head broken and bloody injury, he let out an unwilling roar and had to sneak back to its nest, which was at the bottom of the lake just now.

"It was really dangerous just now!" Leoli threw down the oars, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his clothes, and said with lingering fear.

Kurapika said with a wry smile: "Yes, we can't beat that monster in the water."

"Okata, are you okay?" Xiaojie asked Okata around him with concern at this time, because he was the only one who fought head-on with the monster.

Okata shook his head, and he was fine, because he controlled the scalpel from beginning to end, and fought against the monster while ensuring his safety. Although he did not kill it, it also caused the monster to suffer... There is only one reason for his actions, he hates animals like snakes.

Just like some people don’t like bugs or mice, for Okata, it’s not because he is afraid, but simply hates it. Because in his opinion, snakes are even more disgusting than insects.

After getting ashore, the few people breathed a sigh of relief. Because the monster had retreated, everyone can calm down their mood and complete more important things.

After looking around, Okabaya found that after passing through the lake, they came to the top of the mountain, which was less than two hundred meters away from the silver fir tree under the moonlight.

"Fortunately, that old lady didn't lie to us." Leoli put down his sleeves again, staring at the silver fir tree like everyone else, and said happily.

Kurapika nodded slightly: "Let's go, maybe we have new tests to complete."

......

When the four people arrived under the silver fir tree, they found a separate house, which looked like the rented house where Okata and Leoli lived some time ago.

Leoli walked up carelessly and knocked on the wooden door: "Is anyone? We are candidates at the foot of the mountain."

Okara and his men were behind him, waiting for someone to open the door or respond to them.

But after waiting for a while, there was no reaction. Leoli reached out his hand impatiently to push the wooden door that seemed to be closed.

Squeak!

When the door was pushed open, halfway open.

Through the light of music, Okara and others with good vision saw a terrible scene.

A tall monster with wings and a fox's face shining with light in the darkness. It was holding a girl hostage. A man was sitting on the ground, facing the monster in horror, trembling all over.

"Be careful!" Okay first saw it and quickly spoke up to remind him.

When Kurapika and Xiaojie reacted, the fox monster had already dragged the girl with his claws and quickly broke out.

"Leoli, Kurapika, Xiaojie, I'll stay here to save people." Okay quickly digested the current situation and said to them.

The three of them came back to their senses and quickly chased in the direction where the monster disappeared.

Ogata who stayed on the spot was the doctor. He had noticed the injured in the room. The man who was extremely frightened, if nothing unexpected happened, was one of the tour guides who took them to the examination room this time, so it was necessary to save him.

After his companions chased him, Okara adjusted his mind and walked into the hut on the top of the mountain.

He looked at the man who was lying on the ground with a look of horror.

"Where are you injured?" Okabaya walked in and asked with concern.

The man pointed to the wound on his shoulder and said to Okata: "I was scratched by that monster, right here."

"Okay, I'll come and take a look." Okabaya approached him, his face and expression as usual, and he looked neither anxious nor anxious.

When he squatted down and helped the man get up, his hand was placed on the man's shoulder, and his originally caring and kind expression slowly became cold. His eyes looked straight at him and said word by word: "You are not a human."

"Hmm?" The man raised his head in surprise and looked at Okata's eyes without hesitation, his pupils contracted a little.

The face under the black hat brim was very calm.

His eyes were aggressive, as if he had determined his own judgment.

"Tell me, what is the test content? Was it asked me to kill you, or are you the so-called tour guide?" Okao grabbed the man's arm, fucked the scalpel with his other hand, and landed on his neck, with the cold blade close to the skin.

The man pretended to be panicked: "What the hell are you talking about... I am a human, a human living here, and the one who was kidnapped just now was my wife..."

Okara smiled softly, and he slowly exposed the other party's lies: "A real doctor can see the clues at a glance. Your wound is really right, and your changes really amazed me, but it can copy the appearance but it is difficult to clone the changes in the tissues inside the human body... The scratches of the wound extend from the outside to the inside, and the degree of falling into it and the focus are all deliberately forged at our own perspective. The broken skin is about an inch, and there is no blood left. Obviously, in the process of forgery, in order not to harm one's own muscle tissue, some spare energy was specially left."

"So, being able to hurt yourself with your claws from this perspective and leaving such wounds makes me guess that you are a monster with the ability to change, not the human look in front of me."
