N-A-A Chapter 21 The Enemy in Pursuit
Chapter 21 The Enemy in Pursuit
A few days later, because they had no identification, Eliji and his group had to sneak into the Republic of Batokia to prepare for their journey to the Sky Arena in the east.
The Sky Arena, the fourth tallest building in the Hunter World, stands at 991 meters tall with 251 floors. It is a sacred place for fighters to compete and also a good place to make money.
Winning a single floor of the 190th floor will earn you a reward of 200 million Jenny. If you haven't lost any battles before, you'll accumulate nearly 400 million Jenny.
Four hundred million kyats is enough for a family to live a wealthy life for two or three generations without doing anything.
Eligi's first stop was the Sky Arena. Once you reach the 100th floor of the Sky Arena, you can get a private room to live in.
At the same time, they also gained temporary protection. The people who came out of the garbage dump were a group of dark forces and did not dare to openly cause trouble in a place like the Sky Arena.
Unfortunately, it seems that Eligi's thoughts were known to the people chasing him from behind, so he was constantly being pursued and deviated from the route to the Sky Arena.
Finally, surrounded and pursued, Eligi had no choice but to flee to another continent to take the Hunter Exam.
"Hehehe, those people probably still think I'm taking the Hunter Exam? They're probably still waiting for me outside the Hunter Exam!" Eligi said with a very smug look on his face.
The group was having dinner at a restaurant in a town. They had just found out that it was more than 600 kilometers away from the Sky Arena, and it would probably take a day to get there by car.
However, it's already late, and there won't be a ride to the city where the Sky Arena is located until tomorrow.
Therefore, Eligi could only stay in town for one night.
"Boss, check please!" Ailiji pulled out five thousand-yuan notes from his pocket and reluctantly handed them to the boss.
Although the six of them didn't encounter any pursuers in the past few days, their expenses on the road were not low.
The cost of food alone is 10,000 nuns a day, plus 5,000 nuns for lodging, which adds up to 15,000 nuns a day.
In just a few days, they spent over 100,000 yuan on the nunnery.
Eligi currently only has less than 100,000 Jenny. Although the pursuers haven't reacted yet, getting to the Sky Arena is still an urgent matter.
"Hinata, are you full?" Eligi asked, counting the remaining hundred or so thousand-yen bills in his hand.
Hinata blushed at the question, and finally answered in a voice barely audible, "I'm full!"
"Alright, boss, pack another order of pastries." As he spoke, Eric pulled out two thousand-dollar bills from his hand.
Seven thousand jenny were spent in one meal, and Eligi only blinked once.
If you can cook for yourself, you can cut your food expenses in half, since a pound of meat only costs two hundred nuns in town.
Three thousand nuns can buy fifteen catties of meat, which can be made into roasted meat and yield at least two catties per meal.
Ailiji has a small appetite; one pound is enough to fill her up.
Hidan, Hinata, Akamaru, and Kiba, along with their dog, ate the most.
After the group finished their meal, they booked three more hotel rooms in town, each costing two thousand jenny, for a total of six thousand jenny.
Inside the room, Eligi tallied up the remaining Jenny, which amounted to at most five or six days' worth of expenses. He hoped to earn some money at the Sky Arena as soon as possible.
However, in the current six-person team, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, Gaara, Hidan, and Eriji all possess Nen abilities.
However, only Hidan and Hinata are skilled in physical combat.
Gaara and Shino are considered to have weaknesses in physical combat, and as for Kiba's physical combat skills, Eligi isn't very clear either.
The Sky Arena only allows the use of items up to the 200th floor; below that, it's all bare-handed combat.
Therefore, the first two hundred floors of the Sky Arena really a test of basic skills.
"Hinata, with your taijutsu, you should be able to take on two hundred floors without any problem, right?" Eligi muttered as he counted his money.
The room was furnished with double beds, and Hinata was currently eating the pastries she had brought back on another bed.
Hinata's stomach is of unknown origin; it seems capable of consuming the food of four or five adults, and her digestive ability appears to be extremely fast. It's unclear whether this is due to her bloodline.
"Elij, I will try my best to reach the 200th floor." Hinata did not give a definite answer, which was very much in line with Hinata's personality.
Erigi didn't insist on this. The adorable Hinata gave people the feeling of being a friendly girl next door.
"Get some rest. We can talk about tomorrow's matters the day after tomorrow." After saying that, Eliji put away all the jenny and then lay down to rest.
Hinata quickly finished the pastries, then sensibly turned off the lights and rested.
The following day, Ailiji and his group took a bus to the city where the Sky Arena was located, spending nearly 20,000 jenny for the six of them.
As a result, Eligi's Jenny will soon be running out, since the cost of living in the city where the Sky Arena is located is not low.
Just one day after Eligi left, a group of strangers entered the town to inquire about Eligi and his group.
"That's right, it's this one. The other day, two adults and four children from my restaurant, I remember them quite well. They seemed to have taken a bus to the Sky Arena, I guess they're there by now." The restaurant owner described the situation of Eligi and his group.
The two adults are probably Erigi and Hidan, and the four children are Gaara, Kiba, Shino, and Hinata.
At this moment, the four of them did indeed look like children, and were generally a head shorter than Hidan and Erigi, which was quite obvious.
"Five more people? Three children and one adult, hmm—" A middle-aged man with some wrinkles on his face fell into deep thought.
This is Dalton, who was in charge of hunting down Eligi. He originally thought that hunting down someone who didn't know Nen would be an easy task.
Unexpectedly, not only did Eliji awaken Nen midway through, but he also gained a skilled Nen user.
This made the hunt more difficult, for which Dalton was often reprimanded by the Elders.
It's only been a few days, and Eligi has already gained four more companions. No matter how you look at it, this seems a bit strange.
"In the end, we let him escape to the arena. Since that's the case, we can only deal with him through the arena." Dalton muttered to himself.
Deaths and injuries are permitted in the Sky Arena; such incidents are quite common and go unnoticed.
The casualty figures are most pronounced in matches above the 200th floor, since the use of various weapons is permitted above that level.
Having made his decision, Dalton led his six companions toward the Sky Arena.
Dalton's six companions were all skilled in Nen and had developed their own unique Nen abilities.
When Dalton saw the Elders send such skilled fighters to hunt down a young man who didn't know Nen, he was somewhat puzzled.
However, after this period of entanglement with Eligi, Dalton also understood the necessity of sending out these Nen users.
It seems the elders had foreseen something.
