Six-Eyed Sukuna, starting from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 21 The Scope of Abilities

"Let's go." Su Wu turned and walked towards the caravan.

"Where is that girl?" one of the three guards asked, sounding conflicted and reluctant.

"If she really needs help, she'll follow us even at the cost of her life." The white-haired boy continued walking, leaving behind this meaningful statement without turning his head.

The three adults glanced at the blonde girl, then followed the boy in front of them.

The girl, whose pseudonym was Lucy and real name was Bisky, could no longer cry. She stood there, head down, taking three deep breaths, ignoring her lost hair, and then raised her head again, looking helpless and frail, stumbling to catch up with the person in front of her.

"Wait for me...don't leave me behind."

You white-haired brat, you just wait.

The upcoming exams will definitely not be easy for you!

Her face showed pitifulness and helplessness, but inwardly she gritted her teeth and thought viciously.

The caravan members were somewhat surprised to see a girl following behind Su Wu and her companions. After listening to the other three explain why this little girl named Luqi was in the desert, they fell silent.

"Then let her come with us. Once we get to a stable city, we'll see if we can find a family to take her in..." The caravan leader decided to keep her.

Su Wu had reason to suspect that the team leader actually knew this blonde woman who looked like a little girl but was definitely much older.

"My leg is injured, and I want to go with him..." The blonde little girl lifted her skirt and looked at Su Wu pitifully.

The implication was quite clear: she wanted to ride on the same camel as Su Wu.

A group of adult men all looked at Su Wu.

In their view, two children of similar age should have more in common to talk about.

The white-haired, blue-eyed boy asked expressionlessly, "Don't you want the other braid either?"

Bisky: Ugh—! You actually brought that up?!

What an unlikable little boy! It's true what they say about boys his age being universally disliked!

In the end, she sat alone on another camel, no longer trying to attract attention, and instead quieted down.

This quiet and unpretentious demeanor only made Su Wu feel more suspicious.

If the other party is related to the Hunter Exam, they should try to create difficulties for these candidates and increase the challenge.

Such quietness must mean they're already plotting what to do next.

As dusk approached and the sun was almost completely below the horizon, the girl who called herself Lucy did not cause any more trouble.

The caravan chose a spot to pitch their tents and light a fire, while the guards were divided into several groups to keep watch at night.

Because of her age, Su Wu was assigned to the second half of the night shift.

"There are many magical beasts in the desert. During the day, the sand is too hot, so they hide under the sand to sleep. But at night, when the temperature drops, they come out from under the sand and begin to hunt..."

"Under normal circumstances, there's no need to worry. There are many of us, and the monsters won't be foolish enough to target us directly."

"Unless we encounter some monsters that have gone mad and lost their minds, but that's an extremely rare occurrence."

Night had fallen, and the desert temperature fluctuated wildly, with a difference of tens of degrees between day and night. A group of people gathered around several bonfires, on which large iron pots were placed, simmering food. The scalding heat, along with the aroma, rose and filled everyone's noses.

The caravan leader was clearly a seasoned veteran who frequently traversed the desert, and he shared his experience with everyone in great detail.

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone returned to their tents to prepare for sleep, while the members on night watch sat outside the tents, each guarding one of the four sides.

Su Wu didn't go back to his tent to sleep. He didn't want to share a tent with the others, and he didn't think anyone would actually get a good night's sleep.

He sat alone some distance from the caravan's camp, continuing to explore his Nen abilities.

Twenty-four hours had long passed, and he was able to draw cards again.

And this caravan has so many people, we can let him test the card abilities, hmm...

We'll try it on the blonde woman whose braid he cut off first.

"The Wheel of Law," he murmured to himself.

Soon, a roulette wheel with a bluish glow appeared in mid-air in front of him.

Inside, the cards, their faces obscured, spun around, awaiting his selection.

He reached out and drew three cards without hesitation, and the roulette wheel disappeared again.

[Reversed Demon] Debuff Card.

[Upright Moon] Boost Card.

[Reversed Hanged Man] - A card that reduces benefits.

This time, he first flipped the card over to look at it, and there were no countdown numbers yet.

It seems the countdown will only start in the last three minutes.

We need to find someone to try...

Su Wu looked at the place where the caravan had pitched their tents, trying to see if she could use her abilities on the people inside the tents from a distance.

The first attempt failed.

300 meters is not enough.

Even after closing the distance to 200 meters, the attempt failed again.

Another attempt, at a distance of 100 meters, still unsuccessful.

Su Wu tried to release his inner energy, creating a circle about twenty meters in diameter centered on himself, which enclosed the tent within that area. This was the maximum range of the circle that he could release with his current inner energy.

The basic purpose of a circle is to sense danger within its radius. For example, the people in the Meteor City underground palace could only extend their circles to a radius of a few meters.

His life energy and physical qualities were already extraordinary, and his Nen was much stronger than that of most people from the beginning.

Inside the tent, Bisky quickly sensed the presence of the circle, opened her eyes, and pulled open the tent flap by lifting her skirt.

I want to see which brat is staying up all night and using a circle to surround a tent.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, a white-haired, blue-eyed boy with mysterious facial markings sat outside, his eyes gleaming in the moonlight.

He was holding two cards between his fingers, showing them to the two men guarding outside the tent.

"Please cooperate with me to perform a magic trick. No matter what happens afterward, please don't make a sound," he said with a smile, discussing with the two of them.

However, neither of them considered it a simple discussion and dared not refuse in the slightest.

Su Wu then threw the cards at the two people. The moment they touched each other, the cards seemed to merge with the other person, disappearing into their bodies.

"It worked successfully," he murmured to himself.

So the area where the card is used is the area covered by his circle.

Two members of the night watch suddenly found themselves with several thick, long chains attached to one of them. One end of the chains was wrapped around him, while the other end disappeared into thin air.

The other person remained motionless, maintaining their previous posture.

"What's going on?" The person entangled in the chains tried to pull on them, but couldn't break free at all. The chains only tightened around him more because of his movements.

"It's just a little game, it'll be over tomorrow," Su Wu said casually while observing the other person's situation.

The other party did not move at all, as if they were frozen or petrified.

【Reversed Devil】Effect 1: Binding Chains.

【Reversed Hanged Man】Effect 1: Causes a person to freeze in place.

These are all cards that can be used on enemies during battle.

Bisky watched this scene with a hint of curiosity and stepped forward to examine the suddenly appearing chains.
