"We're still short two ID badges! Damn it! Ti is running out."
"Hey! There's soone over there!"
"Hahaha! Our luck is seriously too good!"
"Shh, quiet! The usual routine!"
...
Three figures shuttled through the jungle.
A few bees landed not far from them.
The eastern coast.
"It's actually this guy? He's still alive? Brat! If you don't want to die, hand over your ID badge."
"And that woman too!"
"You're out of luck running into our three brothers!"
Three candidates ford a triangle formation, surrounding Riku and Ponzu.
It was none other than the "brilliant" Amori brothers!
#197 Amori, #198 Imori, and #199 Umori!
The three of them possessed excellent tacit understanding.
Riku swept his gaze over them.
These guys are sothing else... they actually haven't been eliminated yet? Dumb luck.
But they were just a bunch of misfits.
The three of them only had a single Blue-tier trait combined; the rest was all Green and White-tier garbage.
Trait: [Synchrony] (Blue)Effect: A trait exclusive to siblings. Naturally grants an extrely high level of tacit teamwork and coordination.
A trash trait.
This trait was basically useless to him, but for these three guys combined, it could indeed produce a 1 1 1>3 effect.
No wonder these misfits enjoyed a certain level of fa among the candidate circles.
At least for ordinary candidates, or even those with so strength, being completely surrounded by these three would be quite a troubleso ordeal.
"Ah! It's the Amori brothers!? Those three are very strong and excel at coordinated combat, Lord Riku!!"
Ponzu instantly grew incredibly nervous.
"Hahahaha! You've heard of our brothers' reputation, right! Then obediently hand over the badges, otherwise if you end up dying, you'll only have yourselves to bla!"
The eldest, Amori, sneered.
They were exactly two badges short.
Weren't these readymade targets right in front of them?
Hiss hiss hiss—
Suddenly.
Just as the three brothers felt victory was practically in their grasp, the sound of snakes echoed all around them!
They looked toward the sound, their expressions instantly changing drastically.
They shockingly saw a massive, dense swarm of snakes appearing out of nowhere!
"Fuck! We've been ambushed! This brat did it on purpose!!"
"Damn it! How are there so many snakes?"
"Damn it, those are venomous vipers! We absolutely cannot get bitten, otherwise it's over!!"
...
The three brothers were instantly shocked and furious.
They felt they had fallen right into a trap.
They even believed Riku was the one who set them up.
But the snakes surrounding them were multiplying rapidly; they even spotted several golden pythons and a wide variety of venomous vipers among the swarm.
Let alone them, even a genuine Pro Hunter would probably feel intimidated on the spot seeing this many snakes.
"Hehe, yo. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... That's a bit over the required points, but it doesn't matter. Take out your ID badges, otherwise... I can't guarantee my little babies won't eat you all up, you know?"
In the distance.
The snake charr Bourbon appeared, currently holding a snake flute and playing a tune.
Following his sound, the snakes moved obediently under his control.
Riku looked over, the corners of his mouth curling up.
Na: Snake Charr Bourbon Traits: [Beast Taming (Talent)] (Blue), [Snake Charming (Skill)] (Blue), [Poison Making] (Blue), [Disguise] (Blue), [Unard Combat] (Green), etc.
Interesting!
To think he actually saw a [Beast Taming] talent.
And he had to admit, Bourbon's traits were quite potent.
In the original tiline's destiny, this guy was stung to death by Ponzu's bees. It could be said... it was a very stifling way to die.
After all, he was practically covered in Blue-tier traits.
But most of his traits couldn't form direct, overwhelming combat power.
Furthermore.
Beast Taming was a talent; perhaps even Bourbon himself didn't fully realize it. He might just possess a natural affinity for and ability to ta these animals.
He just used it entirely on snake charming.
What a waste of a heavenly gift!
But what a great catch!
Hahahaha!
A talent-type trait was essentially a passive skill that required no activation whatsoever.
It was the exact sa type as the Luck traits.
As long as you had it, it was active.
"Damn it!! Damn it!!"
"Brat! Rember this! You better pray you get your Hunter License this year, otherwise we'll definitely kill you when we et next year."
"Fuck! Bro, there are too many snakes!! Save !!"
"We surrender! We give up!!"
...
The Amori brothers were furious. They had worked so hard to get this far.
But they never expected to be forced into an absolute dead end by these venomous snakes right before their eyes.
If they didn't choose to surrender, they would absolutely be bitten to death by these things.
Dying during the exam was not protected by law.
The legal concepts in the Hunter world were quite thin, after all.
"Hehe, only smart people survive, right? That young man who spawn-camped the ship, you should have quite a few badges on you, right? From now on, they are all mine."
Bourbon slowly walked over, a triumphant smile on his face.
Possessing snake-charming abilities, he considered himself absolutely the strongest existence among all the candidates, bar none.
The only thing he had done these past few days was seek out the snakes on the island.
And then... cast his net at the endpoint, waiting to slaughter the fattened New Year pigs.
It coincided perfectly with Riku's own strategy.
Moreover, he was extrely cautious.
Even in a situation where he already had certain victory, he still maintained a solid hundred-ter distance from Riku.
In front of him were dense swarms of venomous snakes acting as a barrier.
"According to the exam rules, while retaining one's own badge, a person only needs a maximum of three other badges. You should have enough points by now, right?" Riku looked at Bourbon and said with a smile.
"Of course it's enough. But... maybe so other people won't have enough later? It shouldn't be hard to sell a badge for hundreds of thousands or even a million Jenny, right? No one despises money," Bourbon smiled.
Hearing this, the expressions of the Amori brothers twisted.
Fuck!
This son of a bitch is too fucking greedy.
Wait!
That's right!
"Ah! T-then bro!! I want to ask, how many badges do you need right now? Can we just buy our own badges back from you?" The eldest, Amori, reacted and asked excitedly.
"Yeah! The boss is still the smartest!"
"Aweso!"
The two younger brothers were instantly energized.
"Oh? My badges? I already have enough. Of course, the badges can be sold to you. Everyone pays... two million—no, let's make it 1.5 million Jenny each. This price is already very fair."
"Are you considering buying? But I only accept cash, or any highly valuable items will do," Bourbon said with a cheerful smile.
Hearing this, the expressions of the three brothers were worse than if they had eaten shit.
Motherfucker!
How is this any different from outright robbery?
"Hehe, ship-camping boy, you can also buy your own badge back. However, your actions on the first day made very uncomfortable, so yours will cost 3 million Jenny each."
"How about it?"
Bourbon smiled weirdly as he looked at Riku.
The majority of the snakes imdiately sward toward Riku's direction instead.
