Hunter x Hunter: Pokémon Master, the World's Strongest

Dong turned his body and heard the familiar name -, and smiled:

"I didn't expect my book to be quite famous."

After a pause, a look of reminiscence appeared on Dong's face, and he said carefully:

"'New World Chronicles - East' is a book that compiles everything I saw and heard in the eastern region of the Dark Continent."

"To indicate this, I've written an E for East on the cover of the book, right in the bottom right corner."

"As for the western chapter, it will come naturally. I am now preparing to go west."

Dong continued, "The distance between the east and west is quite far. Even if I move at a fast speed, it will take quite a while."

"So, I came here this time just for the ultimate food in this swamp."

"If you've read the book 'New World Chronicles - East', you should know what I'm referring to..."

Dong paused meaningfully.

Link seemed to have a telepathic connection with him and continued:

"Of course, that's Nitolomi, the ultimate food that can prolong one's lifespan."

What Dong was talking about was the [Nito Lomi] that he had just obtained not long ago.

Dong's words directly answered two questions for him.

The first is "New World Chronicles - West", and Dong will continue to create and compile it while traveling in the western part of the Dark Continent.

The reason why he hasn't gone to the West yet and is still staying in the East is to make more thorough preparations.

Of course, there must be other or more detailed reasons, which Dong did not reveal in full.

This involves some secrets that are inconvenient to disclose.

Although everyone is a human being from the six continents, Dong is not a big mouth. He will say anything when he gets excited.

Seeing Link finish his question, Dong's eyes flickered slightly and he continued:

"Yes, the purpose of my trip is to get [Nitolomi]. It is a great treasure."

"It's a pity that there is a kind of double-tailed snake in there, and they have a terrifying trump card."

"At the beginning, my strength was not enough, and I paid a lot of price to obtain two plants. This allowed me to know the effect of [Nitolomi]."

Speaking of this, Dong's tone was a little sad, as if he was lamenting the experience of escaping death.

Link nodded, confirming what Dong said.

The danger of the Hellbell Twin-Tailed Snake is indeed beyond words. Apart from anything else, the shadow of the demon king alone can knock down a large group of people.

Dong was able to snatch two Nitolomi plants from the two-tailed snake in the past when his strength was not as high as it is now.

This already speaks volumes about his strength.

This also answered another question in Link's mind.

He was originally curious about why Dong wanted to turn back and get Nitolomi.

After all, he had clearly seen and even taken Nitolometh before, and it was recorded in "New World Travels - East".

Now it seems that he probably realized that [Nitolomi] has patience, and he can definitely eat a few more times.

After many times, the effect of [Nitolomi] will be weakened to the point of almost disappearing.

If the six continents are taken as the center, this place is considered the southeastern part of the Dark Continent.

After obtaining [Nitolomi], Dong can go directly from the southeast to the south, and then to the west of the Dark Continent.

However, according to Dong's writing, he probably had no intention of dividing the Dark Continent into four directions: East, West, South, and North.

Instead, it is simply divided into East and West, and then records what you see.

Of course, the content here is extremely limited, and most of it should be from the edge of the Dark Continent.

Dong glanced at Link who seemed to be lost in thought, but didn't pay any attention to him. He continued:

"In the Dark Continent, there are many things that can prolong life."

“But the way to obtain it is, without exception, very difficult.”

Dong sighed, a hint of regret flashing in his cloudy eyes.

I think he has experienced many things that ordinary people can hardly imagine in the Dark Continent over the years.

Link could think of several options at random.

For example, [hope] that can obviously prolong life or have other miraculous effects is not far away.

But they are blocked by some obstacles that are completely impossible to cross or extremely dangerous.

You can only go through a mental struggle in your brain and then give up helplessly.

After all, staying alive is the most important thing.

In addition, there is another thing that Link cares about.

Judging from Dong's tone, it seems that things that can prolong life are quite common in the Dark Continent?

But it is extremely difficult to obtain.

Link deeply agrees with this.

At least so far, the only thing he has encountered of this kind is [Nitolomi]

It also fits with what Dong said, the difficulty of obtaining it is extremely high.

After all, the two-tailed snake has a trump card that can summon a shadow of the devil.

And this only grows on the edge. Things that can prolong life in the depths are probably even more difficult to obtain.

At the same time, there is another possibility.

What can prolong life does not necessarily count as hope.

Maybe...

It may prolong life through some special means, or it may have greater negative effects.

This reminded Link of the zombie movies on Blue Planet.

If it exists in that form, it seems to be continuing life in some sense?

In general, Dong has seen more than any of them, and has seen countless things.

The most valuable thing about him is not just his strength, but his memory over the past few hundred years.

Even a summary of experience.

So……

An idea popped up in Link's mind. He really wanted to get Dong's memory.

This memory is much more valuable than Shi Jin's memory.

Shi Jin can only be said to be the local overlord of a small area, and the places he has seen and explored are mainly limited to the nearby terrain.

Useful, but also limited.

Even from the time they crossed the swamp, Shi Jin's memories were of little use to him.

But Dong is different.

It has been hundreds of years since Dong set foot on the Dark Continent. During these hundreds of years, he has traveled to many places and seen many things.

These are the truly valuable ones.

Although it is most likely limited to marginal areas, it is still a rare treasure.

After all, it was his strength that limited him, and Link could understand that.

Dong seemed to feel the gaze of "someone" and felt a warning in his heart, thinking that some danger might have happened.

After observing the surroundings inconspicuously for a while and seeing that there were indeed no sudden incidents, Dong's slightly frowned brows relaxed again.

[Is it because of the big mood swings that have caused my nerves to become a little sensitive? ]

This is the only explanation Dong can give.

His emotional ups and downs today are probably comparable to those of the previous month, or even longer.

There are many advantages to being a lone ranger.

For example, you don't have to be on guard against your companions around you, in case they have malicious intentions, want to steal treasures and kill people, etc.

For example, when encountering danger, you can escape more easily without worrying about whether others will catch up.

But there is one shortcoming that cannot be ignored.

When a person travels for a long time, his human emotions will not be released and his emotions will gradually fade.

If this continues for a long time, people are likely to suffer from various mental illnesses or lose their normal human emotions.

When he spoke for the first time, his voice was extremely low and hoarse because he had not spoken for a long time.

If he hadn't paid attention to it and opened his mouth to make sounds from time to time, his voice might have deteriorated.

In this vast dark continent, he is a very lonely existence, with basically no one to negotiate with.

So, in such an environment, his spirit gradually became numb.

Usually there will be fluctuations only when there is harvest or danger.

Today was a rare day for him, with a lot of emotional ups and downs.

Ignoring the strange feeling just now, Dong looked a little solemn and said to Link:

"I originally planned to go directly into the swamp forest, but before I got close to here, I sensed a strange and eerie aura."

"I've experienced that aura before. It's the breath of the Demon King. So I concluded that the Twin-Tailed Snake had used its trump card again."

At this point, the solemnity on Dong's face grew even thicker, and a look of obvious surprise appeared in his cloudy eyes.

"Then, another unexpected thing happened."

"Not long after the Demon King's aura appeared, another completely different aura came from the swamp forest."

Dong looked at Link with an extremely serious expression: "That's an aura I've never felt before!"

“It gives me a feeling as vast and deep as the ocean, as if I were in a bottomless sea.”

"It's taking my breath away!"

"Moreover, when that aura appeared, heavy rain fell in the swamp and even in the surrounding areas."

"This heavy rain was extremely strange. There was no warning at all. A large, continuous cumulonimbus cloud appeared out of nowhere in the sky."

"After such a rain, the moisture content in the surrounding areas has increased significantly."

"If it rains a little longer, I suspect the surrounding areas will turn into a giant lake."

Dong's face turned pale, and he said seriously, "You may not know what this phenomenon means?"

"Any disaster that can affect the surrounding area is, without exception, extremely dangerous!"

"They generally only appear in the deeper areas of the Dark Continent. This is the first time I've seen one appear on the edge."

"Furthermore, this unknown [Disaster] is terrifyingly powerful!"

"After a burst of energy fluctuations, the aura of the Demon King disappeared. It was obviously destroyed."

"This means that the unknown [Disaster] is far more powerful than that Demon King."

Maybe it was because I finally met a "fellow countryman", or maybe it had been a long time since I had spoken so freely like this.

Dong Wanru opened up and kept talking, mainly talking about what happened in the swamp forest.

However, with every word he spoke, the expressions on Link's and the people around him became weirder.

If they understood correctly, what Dong was saying now seemed to be...

After a while,

"That's why, to be on the safe side, I didn't go directly into the swamp forest."

"I'm thinking about trying to obtain Nitolomi after some time."
