Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 406: The One Chosen by God Has Been Cursed

German did not answer Dong's question immediately, but used "mind communication" to talk to Jin, Biscuit and Xiaodi beside him at the same time.

They quickly reached an agreement, and then German continued to communicate with Dong.

"We both want to know the answers to some questions from each other. In this case, why don't we exchange information?"

The black-robed man in the shadows was silent again, but he quickly replied, "Okay, it's settled."

"Please answer my first question first, 'How did you do it?'"

"In fact, it was a gradual process," said German. "We first went to the Ancient Labyrinth, the Gray Desert, and the Steep Mountains."

"We solved the "Plant Weapons", "Immortal Disease" and "Human-Raising Beasts", and obtained the "Herb of All Diseases", "Alchemical Plants" and "No Man Stone". "

"After overcoming these "disasters" and gaining these "hopes", we came here to challenge the "rainforest swamp" where the "two-tailed snake" and "longevity food" are located."

Dong felt slightly surprised as he listened.

He recorded these "hopes and disasters" in "New World Journey: East Coast".

He had walked this entire coastal route countless times over the past three hundred years and was extremely familiar with it.

However, this does not mean that the journey is easy.

In fact, when he was pioneering the new land, he escaped death countless times, until one day he had an epiphany and his strength increased, and things became relatively easy for him.

Over the past three hundred years, he had seen more than once the corpses of many humans who came from the six continents to explore the Dark Continent, and all of them had died in tragic ways.

Some were left with no trace, while others lived a life worse than death.

The East often gives the latter some mercy.

Gradually, he became disappointed with the humans of the six continents.

With his own intelligence, there has not been another him in the six continents for more than three hundred years. This is too much of a failure.

Perhaps a life of overly comfort has caused humans, who were once considered the top predators in the wild, to gradually degenerate.

In addition, due to some horrific experiences in recent years, Dong's mentality has changed dramatically compared to before, so he would not expect any human fellows to visit the Dark Continent.

Unexpectedly, today he suddenly met a group of people who had overcome all obstacles and come here. He couldn't help but be surprised and sigh.

Especially the man who was talking to him. Although the aura he exuded was restrained, it still made him secretly frightened.

Dong lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "I only had time to see the corpses of the two giant snakes, but I didn't see the process of your fight."

"However, it is certain that you have defeated the Disaster."

"If you can defeat the "disaster" here, then I won't be surprised if you can defeat the "disaster" in the other three "regions"."

Dong seemed to be thinking about something. After a long while, he added:

"That is to say, you haven't been to the area of ​​'Mist-like Creatures and Three Original Waters', right?"

"Yes," German replied.

"That's good." Dong sighed softly and said, "Don't go, at least not now... It's quite unstable there. If you're not careful, you might get the "curse"."

German heard a word that interested him - "curse".

At the same time, Kim and Biscuit were also very curious about this during the "heart-to-heart talk" and hoped that he would continue to ask questions.

So, German asked: "Don, now it's your turn to answer our questions."

Dong smiled slightly under his black robe and said, "Since you are willing to call me 'Dong', you must have almost believed in my identity."

"Okay, tell me your questions. I will answer all the ones I can. There are some questions that I don't know or can't answer, so I will ask you to change one."

Germann expressed the common doubts of everyone.

"I knew you would be interested in the 'Curse'." Dong pondered for a moment, tapped the cover of the ancient book with his black-gloved fingers, and said, "If it were an ordinary exploration team, I would never reveal this to them... But you are different. The fact that you have come this far has already proved that you are different."

"I am willing to share this 'knowledge' with you. To mention 'curse', I need to first tell you about the concept of 'demigod'."

"Demigod"?!

German, Jin, Biscuit and Xiaodi looked at each other in confusion, wondering in their hearts.

At this time, Dong suddenly pointed at Germain and said:
"In fact, I have been vaguely sensing a familiar 'breath' not long ago. It may be a little unbelievable, but...what's your name?"

Germain hesitated, but still answered, "Germain."

"German." Dong put down his finger and asked seriously, "Can you hear the "voices" of the people around you and gain "knowledge" from the things around you?"

This time, Germain did not hesitate and said directly, "Yes."

“I see.” Dong’s eyes lit up under the hood. “I didn’t expect that you are one of us at such a young age. It seems that you are also the ‘chosen one’.”

Jin was slightly surprised when he heard this.

Ever since he became interested in the Dark Continent, Jin has been trying to search for clues from the "ruins". Later, he found such an ancient text in one of the "ruins".

"In a certain era, in a certain area, some selected people left records of their visit there in relics..."

Jin had always felt that the phrase "the chosen one" was meaningful, so he kept it in mind. He didn't expect to hear it again from Dong today.

"You must be curious about what the "chosen one" is, right?" Dong said, revealing everyone's thoughts, and said with a smile, "It's actually very simple, it means "the one chosen by God." "

"The 'God' mentioned here refers to the only 'true God' and the four 'demigods'."

Dong's voice gradually lowered without him realizing it, as if he was worried that someone might hear him.

"As far as I know, the four demigods, in the order of their birth, are Darkness, Flesh and Blood, Deep Sea, and Grudge."

Then he stretched out a finger and pointed at the waning moon in the gray sky. It looked inexplicably cold and gray.

"And the only 'true god' is the one who chose the four 'demigods' - 'Red Moon'."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath. This was the first time they had heard of this "knowledge". They felt curious and heavy in their hearts.

German felt as if a stone had fallen from his chest.

The door to a new world that has always existed but they have ignored is now truly open to them.

Dong continued:
"'Demi-gods' are undoubtedly much more powerful than us 'chosen ones', and 'true gods' are even more powerful than us..."

"As far as I know, except for the confirmed fallen Gu Yuan, the Demigods have occupied their own territories, dividing up most of the Dark Continent."

Dong's tone gradually became gloomy, like a crocodile slowly diving into a cold lake.

"If you, like me, barge in rashly, even if you accidentally come into direct or indirect contact with a demigod, you are likely to be infected with the curse."

Dong said this, stood up, walked to the side under the moonlight, and finally took off his black hood.

Under the pale moonlight, there was a hideous and distorted face. There was not a single hair on it, only abnormally red muscles, twisted into irregular shapes like dough.

His face was squeezed up like a leper, and it seemed as if he had been burned and had no skin attached.

The only thing that could be called normal was his eyes.

Dong's face revealed under the moonlight was so shocking that everyone was speechless for a long time.

"It's called the 'Curse of Flesh and Blood.'" Dong waved his hands and covered his ugly face with the hood again.

This time, no one would wonder why he had to hide his face and body.
