Chapter 279 The Power of Transformation
For almost a year, Moreau's hair has not been taken care of and has become fluffy and messy.
If it were gold, I would probably just grab a bag of coins and do it, so as not to waste time sorting it out.
Morrow was not as casual as Jin, but thinking that he might need to disguise himself later, he had no plans to go to the barber shop.
He concentrated his thoughts on his fingertips, trimmed his temples neatly, and then pushed back his scattered hair.
He tied his hair up with a dry plant root picked up from the ground.
After doing this, Moro jumped onto the back of the Chimera.
ifier|
Morro squatted down and patted the Chimera's back gently with his hand, then straightened up and looked at the endless forest ahead.
That huge and bloated body just rose into the air and flew forward quickly.
It takes about two days.
Morrow came to a town and found a nearby tree hole pawn shop.
If he needed to disguise himself later, he would definitely not be able to bring something like the Sheath of Yuanna that could reveal his identity with him, so he planned to store the Sheath of Yuanna in a tree hole first.
Walking into the pawn shop, Moreau walked to the counter that was blocked by explosion-proof glass. He spent 100 million to exchange for a tree hole gold coin, and then entered through the iron door on the side of the counter.
Going through an enclosed corridor, there is an iron door at the end.
As soon as Moreau arrived in front of the iron gate, the iron gate opened automatically, revealing a faintly lit staircase leading below.
Shudong pawn shops can be found all over the world, but their architectural structures are surprisingly consistent, as if they were printed from the same mold.
Morrow went down the stairs and came to a basement lit by candlelight.
With the flickering candlelight, you can see many cabinets placed against the wall, as well as a conspicuous simple long table.
Even the basement where things are stored is exactly the same as another tree hole pawn shop I visited before.
But what surprised Moreau even more was.—
He looked at an old man wearing reading glasses behind the long table.
"It's him again?"
The thought energy that passed over the old man's body was like a sticky mire, quite calm.
Morrow remembered this state of mind and was more certain of the old man's identity. He was definitely the person who received him last time.
But the Shudong pawn shop I went to last time is a continent away from the current pawn shop.
Could it be that he was transferred to another post and met him by chance?
Morrow was surprised, but without thinking much, he walked straight to the long table and placed the Tree Hole Gold Market and Yuanna's Sheath on the table.
The old man looked up at Moreau.
His eyes have gone through many vicissitudes, but they still have excellent vision. He quickly saw some changes in Moreau,
His eyes suddenly flashed with a strange color.
Morrow said calmly: "Save it."
"Okay."
The old man stood up slowly, put away the gold coin engraved with the tree pattern, and then picked up the sheath of Yuanna and looked at it.
After confirming the status of the stored items, the old man turned towards the cabinets placed against the wall and placed the Sheath of Yuanna in one of the cabinets.
Throughout the process, Moreau kept his eyes on the old man and took the initiative to raise the topic: "The pawn shop I went to last time was a continent away from here. I really didn't expect to see you here."
After the old man put the things away, he slowly turned back to the chair in front of the long table. He had no intention of replying, let alone satisfy Moreau's curiosity.
Shudong's business has some special and high pricing, which also means that Shudong's services are guaranteed, at least there is no need to worry about safety and timeliness.
This confidence is all because the tree hole uses "thought" to build a channel that can deliver items at all major pawn shops at any time.
Of course.
Under the premise that certain conditions are met, that kind of thought channel can also transport people to another pawn shop.
This is the fundamental reason why Moreau was able to meet the old man again in this pawn shop.
The old man didn’t reply, Morrow was not surprised at all, and said to himself:
"Some time ago, I met someone who took the initiative to accept the invitation of the "Eye of Truth". She used that card, and she was able to create a mind space with rules and abilities at will."
The person mentioned in the words was none other than Eve, the third princess of the ancient Ganyu Kingdom.
Hhearing Moreau mention the Eye of Truth, the old man had some reaction and raised his eyes to look directly at Moreau's face.
Of course he has not forgotten the young man in front of him.
I also remember that the young man once asked him about the Eye of Truth.
At that time, he also warned young people not to get in touch with the Eye of Truth too deeply.
"I said -"
The old man understood Moreau's intention, and said with a cold expression: "I only know how to help people keep things."
"What will it take for you to tell me more about the Eye of Truth?"
Moreau asked.
In fact, he does not necessarily need to get information related to the Eye of Truth from the old man, but since he met him here, he can always try again to see if he can ask more things.
The old man stared into Moreau's eyes and did not see the persistence he expected.
He thought that Moreau had deposited a card with the Eye of Truth in the tree hole. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "Exchange of equal value is the truth - don't use that card easily, if you want to live longer."
Morrow verified slightly, felt the determination in the old man's words, and immediately stopped entangled.
"Thank you for informing me."
Leaving a thank you, Moreau turned and left.
It wasn't until Moreau's figure disappeared from the stairs that the old man raised his eyes and looked over, with some doubts slowly appearing in his eyes.
He was wondering about the unusual changes in Moreau.
How could he refine his "mind energy" to such an extent in such a short period of time?
This is what makes the old man most confused and surprised.
Outside the pawn shop.
Morrow looked back at the closed iron door on the side of the counter, thinking about what the old man said just now.
It seems that the cost of using the Eye of Truth card is indeed not low.
It is very likely that you have to pay a price such as life expectancy——
Moreau looked back, but didn’t think much about it.
Ever since he confirmed the ability of this card, he has been treating it with caution and will not use it lightly.
Just today Wen met the old man and wanted to pry out more information.
"Perhaps, you can consider selling this card to that princess."
Morrow tended to believe what the old man said. After knowing that the cost of using the card may be a loss of life, the idea of keeping this card became even weaker.
Then instead of leaving it to gather dust in a tree hole, it would be better to sell it to the princess of the ancient Ganyu Kingdom at a high price.
If the princess is still willing to buy it at a high price, then Kangzai's debt can be settled and the financial pressure on Kurapika's side can be relieved.
"Let's go to Biscayne Park and the Lost Melody Wetland to check out the sites first. After we finish the sites, we need to prepare some disguises in advance. By the way, there is also Jin's side——I wonder if he helped me find a "job". "
Morrow temporarily put aside the idea of selling the Eye of Truth card to Eve, and instead thought about what to do next.
Visiting locations and preparing in disguise are all things that must be done.
The other thing is that before the sparring ended, he asked Jin for something, asking Jin to help him introduce some commissions to get rid of the thoughts of death.
However, it has only been two days now, so it shouldn’t be that easy to find the mind-removing commission.
What he was more worried about was that Jin simply forgot about it.
After all, this guy ran away without a trace after the sparring mission ended, and even turned off his phone.
"There is still about a month until the hunter test starts, so just wait."
Morrow glanced at the growth ring tattoo on the back of his hand.
The energy of the third annual ring reached about 93%, and the level also reached Lv.72.
It took him almost a year to rise from Lv.71 to Lv.72,
And he still devoted a lot of time to practice hard every day, and even ate medicinal food for a year, and the result was only a level up.
The process can be described as arduous.
As for the improvement of the energy of the annual rings, Jin received a request from his colleagues, and then took him to a tomb that was being excavated, where he absorbed the resentment of many people who were buried and increased the energy of the annual rings to 93%.
If Jin can find a job for him to get rid of his thoughts of death before the hunter test begins, he may be able to collect the energy of the third ring in one go.
December 9th.
Morro and Chimera arrive at the Lost Melo Wetland.
This wetland is also known as the Trickster's Nest. As the name suggests, every creature here has evolved a unique deceptive hunting method.
In such a dangerous environment, even those with telekinesis abilities cannot be too careless.
After all, manifesting Qi can only help the person with abilities resist attacks from ferocious beasts, but it is difficult to guard against invisible threats.
For example, deadly poisonous gas, or pollen or scale powder with hypnotic and anesthetic effects.
Of course.
For those who have mastered the ability of reading, as long as they are cautious enough, there will basically be no problem.
However, we must always be in awe of nature.
This is what Moreau learned from King.
Morrow stepped on the wet ground, causing a splash of mud.
Surrounded by thick fog, it is like a thick white curtain, covering every corner visible to the naked eye.
The humid air was filled with a smell mixed with the stench of rotting plants and animals.
Morrow had already let Chimera find food on its own, and immediately stepped into the depths of the wetland alone.
He wants to become as familiar as possible with the route from here to Biscayne Park in the limited time.
It’s not that I’m worried about getting lost in the hunter test, but this environment is very suitable for hands-on practice.
If Yi Mi comes to participate in the hunter test, then this wetland that is often shrouded in thick fog will be an excellent place for him to attack Yi Mi.
Morrow traveled through the wetlands and encountered various plants and animals that could kill people.
It is no exaggeration to say that you can basically encounter one within a few dozen meters.
A place full of dangers like this is just the first level of the hunter's test. It's no wonder the death rate is so high.
Morrow was wandering in the wetlands. When he encountered an attack, he would not take action if he could. He would only carefully observe the immediate environment and the deceptive hunting methods of these predators.
While wandering around, he even encountered a giant wolf that was clearly strong and had sharp claws, but it insisted on simulating a human cry for help.
This gave Morrow a deeper understanding of the Shimeile Wetland.
Although it is somewhat confusing, it can only be regarded as a phenomenon after biological evolution.
After Morrow walked along the route for a few hours, he randomly found a flat ground to take a rest.
Just moments after he sat down, the sound of rapid breathing came from the thick fog.
It is the sound of a woman's breathing.
Morrow looked around with a calm expression and saw a short woman in ragged clothes walking out of the thick fog.
The woman's face was covered with various scars, but she could not hide her frightened expression.
"It's great, it's great, I finally saw someone."
After seeing Moreau, the woman suddenly showed a look of excitement.
Morrow had no reaction at all, he just tilted his head and looked at the woman.
Intent to kill.
He easily sensed murderous intent from the woman.
In addition to the killing intent, you can also vaguely smell a faint fishy smell that is unique to animals.
"Disguise?"
Morrow looked at the woman, and for a moment he thought of creatures like the human-faced ape in the Lost Melo Wetland, and the ferocious fox that was responsible for the hunter's test guide. Both of these creatures have the ability to transform into humans.
Thinking of the need for disguise in the future, Moreau suddenly became very interested, and his eyes towards the woman gradually changed slightly.
The woman in shabby clothes noticed the change in Moreau's eyes, as if she was suddenly in the ice and snow, and felt a sharp sense of crisis.
"This human being is extremely dangerous!"
The unknown creature that transformed into a woman suddenly started to tremble. There was no thought of hunting Moreau.
The only word left in his mind was escape.
However——··
How could Moreau let go of such a research material.
In a city on the Urubian continent.
city center, within a star hotel suite.
On the sofa in the living room, a body wearing a nightgown was reclining.
Around him, there were many corpses wearing black suits and carrying firearms.
In the center of these houses, Ilmi looked indifferently and looked at a seriously injured telepath who was leaning on the door frame.
The person with the telekinesis ability was breathing heavily, but his expression was extremely fierce, and he said sternly: "No matter who you are, if you dare to attack the important guests of the ten old men, you are dead——
For such meaningless cruel words, Yi Mi There was no response, and he casually raised the bead-headed needle between his fingers.
The seriously injured person leaned on the door frame and stood up with difficulty, and immediately rushed towards Yi Mi with a ferocious expression.
At this moment, the lights in the suite suddenly went out.
Yirmi remained unmoved, and still accurately stabbed the bead-headed needle into the head of the approaching ability user.
However, just as the bead-headed needle sank into the head of the capable person, a sharp figure swept over from outside the door that was knocked, went around behind Ilmi, and stabbed out with his bare hands.
Poof!
The palm that stirred with telekinesis penetrated directly into Ilmi's chest, bringing out a large amount of blood and minced flesh.
"Your meat smells quite bad."
The person who took action was a man with an airplane haircut and dressed in black. He was the lizard in the Ten Old Man's Yin Beast Army.
"It makes me lose my appetite."
The lizard slowly withdrew his arm and stared at the dying assailant in front of him with cold eyes.
Suddenly,
Him, he became alert and turned his head sharply to look in the direction of the toilet.
With the faint light projected into the room from the outside, I actually saw another Ilmi standing at the door of the toilet.
"Clone ability?!"
The lizard instantly entered a fighting state, but did not notice a figure standing quietly at the open door.
That figure is also Yi Mi.
But this is the real ontology.
The two Yilmies in the room are just his acupuncture people.
"The accuracy of the ability is high enough, um, no problem."
Outside the door, Yi Mi raised her hand to rest on her chin, thinking to herself.
In one year, Moreau is not the only one who wants to reach the top of the mountain.
Elmi, whose limbs have been reborn, and Hisoka, who can't forget Moro, are both improving their abilities——
