Chapter 28 The Chaser
Chapter 28 The Chaser
After Bisky finished speaking, Eligi, who was lying on the ground, emerged from the sand. Bisky always found this sight fascinating and wanted to explore the workings of this Nen ability.
The principle behind Sand Clone Technique is actually somewhat similar to Orochimaru's ability to spit out his main body; it's a C-rank clone technique, which is a bit more advanced than the E-rank clone technique.
A step up is the B-rank Shadow Clone Technique, and an even higher level is the forbidden technique, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
"Looks like I'll have to learn a substitution technique. Using Sand Clone consumes quite a bit of energy each time," Eligi muttered to himself. Every time he used Sand Clone, he could clearly feel his energy level drop.
Ailig estimated that creating a sand clone might require 1,500 to 2,000 units of energy.
In other words, at most, Eligi can use Sand Clones ten to thirteen times.
"Do you know who's chasing you?" Bisky asked curiously.
Eliji didn't hide anything and said directly, "Judging by the time, it should be them, the people from Meteor City in the garbage dump."
There's a famous saying in Meteor City: "We don't reject any trash, but don't even think about taking anything away from us."
"I took something very important from them, so they've been sending people to hunt me down for over a year now. I doubt they'll stop even if they kill all the people who came to hunt me down this time. I know them."
After saying this, Ailiji felt strange. How could a transmigrator like himself know about the people in the garbage dump?
Oh! It seems that Ailiji himself is also from the garbage dump, and he almost forgot that when he first arrived outside, he was also a person without any identity.
It seems that I've been living too comfortably lately and have forgotten the sense of urgency of being overtaken.
That doesn't make sense! Eligi only participated in the Hunter Exam for four or five days, and two of those days were spent fighting with monsters. How can that be considered a peaceful time? People should be more vigilant.
Ailiji's mind was wandering!
"What are you planning to do! I'm not helping you," Bisky said.
After hearing this, Eligi said indifferently, "As long as they don't jump out, we don't need to worry about them. Isn't there a similar plot after the Hunter Exam where people protect their Hunter License?"
"If you step forward, then naturally you'll solve the problem. Don't even think about taking anything from me." As Eliji said this, he didn't even realize that his expression had turned unusually cold.
Bisky's brow twitched at this. She could only say that as expected of someone who came from a garbage dump, they were extremely decisive when they got ruthless.
"Alright then, that's your problem. This place is no longer suitable for training. Let's go back to the arena." Bisky suggested changing venues.
Although Bisky's training of Gon and Killua included dealing with potential dangers at night.
However, it was clear that Bisky felt that someone like Eligi, who was constantly on the brink of death, didn't need this kind of training at all.
It's easy to see from Eligi's performance in dealing with crises that he always maintains a sense of vigilance, even when he's training.
Soon, the group began running back to the Sky Arena, which was also part of their training.
The training ground is 20 kilometers away from the Sky Arena, which is 40 kilometers round trip. 20 minutes to 40 kilometers a day is considered physical training for Eligi and his group.
Not long after Bisky and Eligi left, Dalton arrived with his men at the place where Eligi had been training.
Dalton stopped on a pile of sand, because it was the spot where he had just stopped Eligi from falling.
Dalton crouched down and stroked the sand, saying, "Looks like it's a failure. That was tough!"
After waiting for more than two hours, this should have been the closest we came to success, but unexpectedly, the opponent still managed to evade us with their Nen ability.
"Hey, Dalton, let's get out of this awful place. There are just too many bugs," said the middle-aged man with blond hair standing nearby.
Insects? Dalton then realized that there were indeed many more insects around him.
Dalton casually swatted an insect to death and glanced at it. When he noticed a faint wisp of Nen energy gathering on the insect, his pupils dilated, and he shouted, "Watch out, the other side..."
Before Dalton could finish speaking, a barrage of sand and gravel rained down from the dilapidated building. The sand and gravel struck the stone bricks on the ground, creating bullet holes directly, demonstrating their considerable power.
In just a short time, Dalton's side lost three men.
The remaining men quickly took cover, and upon seeing the three fallen, Dalton cursed under his breath, "Bastards!"
They had always been the ones chasing and killing the other side, who had fled in a sorry state and dared not fight back. They never expected that today the other side would not only launch a counterattack without anyone noticing, but also kill three of them in one fell swoop.
Just then, a figure jumped down from the high-rise building; it was none other than Ailiji, who had returned.
"I knew these people would come here to take a look, and I was right. Come out, weren't you looking for me?" Eligi fired a barrage of sand rain at the cover.
In his "training" state, Eligi could clearly feel the power of this ninjutsu, which was more than twice as strong as before.
I really don't know how powerful a shot would be if it were fired using the advanced Nen technique "Firmness".
Under the barrage of sand bullets, Dalton dared not show his face. At the same time, Dalton was surprised that his opponent had developed his Nen ability to this extent in such a short time.
"We don't want to hunt you down either. As long as you hand over what you stole, the elders can let bygones be bygones and are willing to accept you back," Dalton said.
Although Dalton said this, he had already made several hand gestures, signaling the survivors to begin surrounding Eligi.
Clearly, things were not as simple as Dalton had described. The elders not only wanted to retrieve the items, but also wanted to see Eligi's body.
The elders of the vanguard would be even happier if they could capture Eligi alive.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We're all from Meteor City, don't even think about taking anything from me." Eligi's words sounded somewhat agitated, and his aura rose noticeably with his emotions.
The power of the sandstorm had increased, sending rocks flying everywhere from the cover.
Hidden in the shadows, Bisky shook her head and muttered as she watched Eligi recklessly squander his energy, "His foundation is really too weak; his energy is just scattering everywhere! It seems he needs to undergo more rigorous training."
Just as Bisky said, Ellige only fired continuously for less than two minutes before feeling breathless and needing to stop and catch his breath.
In that brief moment, Dalton's four men appeared in four directions, blocking all of Ellig's escape routes.
"Heh heh heh, how foolish, to choose to walk right into a trap," Dalton sneered.
But when he thought that Eligi seemed to have a few child accomplices, one of whom, with dark circles under his eyes, was a skilled fighter, Dalton said, "Let all your accomplices come out."
