Chapter 317: Luo Ge's Method

~6 min read 1,096 words

A man with brown-yellow hair, wearing red clothes and bearing deliberately inflicted wounds on his face, stumbled out.

He was still carrying a monkey that had already fainted.

That monkey looked exceptionally similar to Sats.

He pointed at Sats and shouted loudly.

"He is a fake; I am the real examiner!"

"Look clearly! The creature in my hand is a Face-Monkey unique to the Shimele Wetlands!"

"Take a good look; does this fellow look exactly like it?"

Luo Ge crossed his arms and glanced over.

Face-Monkey.

A creature with highly representative characteristics of the Shimele Wetlands, possessing the same traits as other creatures.

It is skilled at disguise.

Unlike other creatures that disguise themselves through the environment, such as pretending to be fruit trees or grasslands.

The Face-Monkey relies on its innate ability to directly disguise itself in the form of a human, thereby deceiving those who cannot distinguish the difference.

Under the Face-Monkey's words, the examinees began to murmur and argue, with supporters on both sides.

"Could it be that person is the real examiner?"

"I think what this person says makes sense! These two look too much alike!"

The bald ninja Zepile and Leorio thought the same...

Sats, adopting a posture of watching a show, let those two Face-Monkeys act out their play.

Sats felt he could use this opportunity to make the examinees stay alert.

To more thoroughly understand that the reputation of the "Nest of Swindlers" is no empty name.

Luo Ge could roughly figure it out as well.

The possibility of growing to look so similar directly is too low.

It must be that the Face-Monkey possesses the ability to alter its own appearance to a certain extent.

It is highly likely that this Face-Monkey deliberately changed its form to resemble Sats.

This Face-Monkey's imitation of appearance is indeed first-rate.

To be honest, looking at a face almost identical to his own, Sats himself felt an indescribable sense of strangeness.

Clap, clap, clap...

Luo Ge clapped his hands, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Sats rubbed his small mustache with his fingers and looked over in surprise.

Does Mr. Luo Ge intend to do something?

"Since there are two examiners, naturally one is fake."

"You just said that is a Face-Monkey unique to the Shimele Wetlands, so it is a type of monkey, right?"

Although it was clearly a question, Luo Ge stated it in a tone of certainty.

The fake examiner's heart tightened; for some reason, he had a bad premonition, but with the arrow already on the string, he had no choice but to shoot.

"That's right, you saw it too, didn't you? That fellow looks exactly like the Face-Monkey in my hand; no matter how you look at it, it is a Face-Monkey."

"You need not explain."

"I have a method to quickly identify which one is the Face-Monkey."

Luo Ge's expression remained calm as he casually snapped his fingers.

In an instant, a large black bird appeared beside him.

Its body was several times the size of a human; standing on the ground, a pair of sharp bird eyes filled with momentum.

For a moment, exclamations of shock erupted from the crowd.

They could not figure out at all where that bird had come from, appearing out of thin air.

Just as strange as that airplane.

However, among the crowd, a different kind of exclamation arose.

The unlucky boy Burukuru, carrying a bow and arrows, exclaimed in surprise:

"That is not an ordinary bird!"

"That is a rare creature from the Forest of Beasts in legend—the Monkey-Eating Vulture; it is said this creature specializes in eating monkeys!"

"They can smell monkeys from a long distance and then go to hunt them."

Burukuru's dream was to become a Hunter related to animals, so he knew a lot about this kind of knowledge.

"That's right, just like that."

"Next, let it distinguish who is that Face-Monkey!"

Upon hearing this, the Monkey-Eating Vulture immediately fixed its gaze on the fake examiner, causing the fake examiner to break out in cold sweat and immediately flee backward.

The Monkey-Eating Vulture then flew forward and pierced him straight through.

Everyone was instantly shocked.

That one was the fake examiner!

So Sats, who had been with them all along, was the real living person.

In the crowd, Hisoka looked regretful as he slowly lowered the playing cards in his hand.

He had been hoping to find some fun...

Unfortunately, Luo Ge had ruined it.

After this lesson on Face-Monkey disguise, all the examinees present truly felt that the title "Nest of Swindlers" was no empty name.

They all tensed up in their hearts, firmly establishing one belief: they must follow Sa Ci closely!

Otherwise, the man-faced ape now would be their fate in a moment!

After scanning the area, Sa Ci suddenly strode forward.

"Please follow me closely!"

Seeing the examiner had already set off, the candidates, regardless of whether they were rested enough, tightened their faces, gritted their teeth, and followed Sa Ci's pace.

Rest can be had anytime; but if they lose Sa Ci, for the candidates, mostly ordinary people, there is only one fate—death!

Luo Ge continued to advance riding the Rotom plane.

Perhaps due to beasts' premonition of danger, Luo Ge found that not a single creature in the Fumero Wetland dared approach him.

If not for the concealment of the mist, people would discover that monsters were deliberately avoiding the two leaders, Luo Ge and Sa Ci.

They frantically charged toward the sides and rear at the unsuspecting candidates!

Luo Ge and Sa Ci passed through unimpeded.

Others did not have such a comfortable experience...

As the group delved deeper into the wetland, the surrounding mist grew increasingly intense, and gradually more and more people fell behind. 4.2 "Hmm? What is this? How can there be such a huge strawberry?"

A candidate, seeing the strawberry fruit swaying in the mist, could not help but cry out in surprise.

The strawberry before his eyes was as large as a human head; the man had never heard of such a thing.

Though curious, the man still obeyed Sa Ci's warning, preparing to bypass this strawberry of unknown origin.

Unfortunately, it was already too late...

Boom, boom, boom!

A giant turtle suddenly burst from the ground, extending its long neck and biting the candidate in one gulp!

"Ah! Save me!" A miserable wail came, and after a few breaths, all sound ceased completely.

The surrounding candidates had no time to react before that person was already inside the turtle's belly.

Mist-Strawberry Turtle!
