Two Realms: Hunters and Pirates

"Wow, it's so high!"

Zane and the other three walked to the edge of the tower and looked down at the ground below.

The Trap Tower is shaped like a cylindrical chimney and is taller than many skyscrapers.

Looking at the ground far away, Leorio gasped.

"At this height, and with the smooth exterior walls, it's probably difficult to descend using conventional methods," Kurapika said, frowning.

As if in response to his words.

A candidate who claimed to be a professional climber walked confidently from a short distance away and actually chose to climb down the rock.

Under Zane's watchful eyes, the candidate initially appeared quite normal, indeed demonstrating impressive rock climbing skills.

Just after climbing down a short distance, a strange scream came from behind.

Several enormous, strange birds with baby-like faces flew over and snatched away the climbing examinees in one gulp.

"Let's look for it. Since the test requires us to reach the ground, there must be a secret passage at the top of the tower." Zain crossed his arms and looked away.

Leorio and the other three nodded upon hearing this, and then began to split up to search.

Tap tap tap...

As Zain walked to the top of the tower, whether it was good luck or not, he hadn't gone very far when his feet suddenly felt light.

Zain stopped stepping down in time and looked down to see the floorboards beneath his feet slightly tilting downwards.

He looked up at Xiao Jie and the others who were still searching for the entrance.

After thinking for a moment, he called out to the group, "Leorio, Gon, Kurapika, Killua, I'm going down now. Take care of yourselves."

After saying that, when Leorio and the other three came looking over, Zane smiled and waved goodbye to them before taking a step forward.

brush!

The stone slab flipped over, and Zane immediately disappeared from the top of the tower.

Zain was naturally aware of the situation in the third test.

However, he was not insistent on going with Leorio and the others.

Everyone has their own adventure.

Even if it's to take care of Leorio, he can't really be like a nanny, staying with him 24 hours a day.

Since he had found the entrance by sheer coincidence, Zane decided to go ahead and take the first step.

As the stone slab flipped, Zain, who was falling, quickly landed.

He slowly stood up from his half-squatting position and looked around, finding himself in a closed stone chamber.

Meanwhile, there was a display screen on one side of the wall with prompts on it.

"You two, from here to the finish line, you can go alone or together."

Walking up to the display screen, Zane stared at the prompts on it.

"It can be one person or two. Isn't this just infighting among those who want to get in here?" Zane smiled knowingly.

He turned around, sat cross-legged, and looked up at the unresponsive ceiling, waiting quietly.

With his right elbow resting on his knee and his right hand hanging halfway down, his inner energy quietly gathered into a small ball, which began to move around his five fingers and palm.

The speed at which the ball moves is not uniform; it can be fast or slow, and sometimes it can even move in the opposite direction, highlighting its freedom.

Time passed slowly, and just as Zane was preparing to add another Nen ball to further increase the difficulty of Nen control, suddenly, a strange noise came from the ceiling.

brush!

A stone slab on the ceiling flipped over, and a figure fell down with it.

Just like Zane before him, the newcomer landed smoothly on the other side.

only.....

Zain looked at the person who had arrived, and covered his face with his left hand in a somewhat helpless manner.

"Oh, what a coincidence!"

Hisoka looked at Zane sitting cross-legged opposite him, paused for a moment, and then happily raised his hand to greet him.

"It's quite a coincidence. Take a look at this." Zane sighed at Hisoka's enthusiasm, gave a thumbs up, and pointed to the screen behind him without turning his head.

Hisoka looked up and immediately saw the prompt on the screen.

"What's there to choose? Of course I'm going with you!" Without the slightest hesitation, Hisoka made his choice directly, and even gave Zane a flirty wink.

If I had known, I would have jumped off the top of the tower from the beginning.

Zane made a comment about Hisoka's perverted behavior.

Stand up.

Zane, too lazy to waste any more words with Hisoka, simply put on the watch attached to the screen.

Hisoka didn't mind Zane's cold treatment and went forward to take the watch and put it on.

Rumble~~~

After the two put on their watches, a stone door fell down from the wall to the side, revealing a dark passageway.

Without wasting any time, Zane took the lead and walked into the passage.

Hisoka followed leisurely behind.

"Hey, do you know what's wrapped around you?" Hisoka's voice echoed from inside the passage.

Zain did not reply, but simply walked forward calmly.

But this clearly did not stop Hisoka from talking.

Receiving no response, Hisoka didn't mind and continued, "This is Nen. Anyone who masters this kind of energy is called a Nen user, you know...?"

Next, Hisoka began to talk about Nen, almost as if he were talking to himself.

"Alright, I know a bit about Nen. Tell me your purpose." Zane, who originally didn't want to pay attention to Hisoka, had no choice but to stop and turn to look at him as Hisoka kept rambling on and on.

Hisoka grinned wickedly and raised his index finger, saying, "I don't have any particular purpose. I just want to invite you to a life-or-death battle with me after you have fully mastered Nen."

"Oh, sure, I'll contact you then." Zane's reaction surprised Hisoka, who calmly accepted the challenge.

Hisoka stared at Zane and said, "Your reaction really surprised me."

"Otherwise what? Fear? Panic? Don't be ridiculous. I also love fighting. What worries me now is that you might prevent me from having enough fun." As he spoke, Zane suddenly laughed.

Hisoka's eyes lit up.

Zain's words hit the nail on the head.

"That's wonderful, your eyes really please me. Don't worry, I will definitely kill you with all my might when the time comes."

Zane gave the other person a deep look, then turned and continued walking forward, saying, "If you want to kill me, prove it with your strength later. Don't bother me now."

"No problem!" Hisoka followed with a smile, having received a satisfactory answer.

........

An unexpected calm prevailed in the passageway.

They hadn't encountered a single trap or obstacle along the way, until they came to a fork in the road.

Zane and Hisoka stopped at the fork in the road and looked at the display screen on the wall in the middle of the fork.

The instructions above state that the two people need to each enter a separate passage.

"I didn't expect we'd have to part ways so soon. I thought we'd have to work together to overcome all the challenges," Hisoka said with a regretful expression.

no respond.

Zane completely ignored Hisoka and stepped into the passage on the left.

Seeing this, Hisoka shrugged and turned to walk into the passage on the right.

It seems to be to prevent violations.

As Zane entered the left passage, a sturdy iron gate immediately descended from above, blocking the way he had come.
