Chapter 38: West Kora part 2

Kai continues to enjoy the food and the music of the tribe, feeling full and entertained. He savors the flavors of the stew and the bread, finding them rich and satisfying. He listens to the sounds of the music and the drums, finding them lively and rhythmic. He sees some people dancing around the fire, moving their bodies with grace and energy. He sees some others playing instruments, making sounds with skill and passion. He sees some children clapping and singing, expressing their joy and innocence.

He also listens to their stories and legends, feeling curious and fascinated. He hears their tales of heroic deeds and mystical encounters, finding them thrilling and inspiring. He hears about their battles with enemies and beasts, their quests for treasures and secrets, their journeys to new lands and realms. He hears about their alliances with friends and allies, their romances with lovers and mates, their discoveries of wonders and miracles. He hears about their encounters with spirits and magic, their experiences with visions and dreams, their learnings from wisdom and guidance.

He asks them about their skills and traditions, feeling interested and respectful. He wants to learn more about their way of life and their culture.

He asks one of the warriors, who is holding a spear, "How do you train your horses? They look very fast and strong."

The warrior smiles and says "We train our horses from birth. We feed them well and treat them well. We teach them to obey our commands and to trust our instincts. We ride them every day, across the plains and the mountains. We make them run faster and longer, jump higher and farther, endure harder and tougher. We make them our partners and our friends."

He points at his horse, which is tied to a post near the tent.

He says "This is my horse. His name is Storm. He's the fastest and strongest horse in the tribe. He can outrun any enemy or beast. He can carry me anywhere I want to go. He's loyal and brave, just like me."

He pats his horse on the neck, saying "I love him."

Kai nods, saying "He's amazing."

He asks one of the shamans, who is wearing a feathered robe, "How do you use your spears? They look very powerful and magical."

The shaman smiles and says "We use our spears for combat and magic. We make them ourselves, using materials from nature and spirits. We carve them with symbols and patterns, imbuing them with meaning and power. We enchant them with spells and charms, enhancing them with effects and abilities. We wield them with skill and faith, channeling our energy and will."

He holds his spear in his hand, showing it to Kai.

He says "This is my spear. Its name is Lightning. It's the most powerful and magical spear in the tribe. It can pierce through any armor or shield. It can shoot bolts of electricity at any target. It's fierce and wise, just like me."

He swings his spear in the air, making a crackling sound.

He says "I love it."

Kai nods, saying "It's amazing."

He asks one of the nomads, who is sitting in a tent, "How do you communicate with nature and spirits? They look very mysterious and beautiful."

The nomad smiles and says "We communicate with nature and spirits through our senses and our hearts. We listen to their voices and their messages, using our ears and our minds. We see their forms and their signs, using our eyes and our souls. We feel their presence and their emotions, using our skin and our hearts. We speak to them with our words and our actions, using our mouths and our hands."

He points at a necklace around his neck, which has a pendant made of a crystal.

He says "This is my necklace. Its name is Starlight. It's a gift from a spirit of light that I met in the spirit realm. It can glow in different colors depending on my mood or situation. It can also help me see things that others can't see. It's beautiful and kind, just like me."

He touches his necklace on his chest, making it shine brightly.

He says "I love it."

Kai nods, saying "It's amazing."

Kai then came up with a theory that the magic that the people of West Kora claimed to have was actually nen, but they were unaware of it and only activated it through the dances and rituals that they learned since childhood.

He came up with this theory because when he drank the kora drink, he felt a slight boost in his nen quality and perception, as if his aura was more refined and his senses were more sharp. He also felt that his second hatsu, dragon eye, which allowed him to see aura and nen abilities, became more powerful and accurate. Kai decided to continue to observe and record the people of West Kora, hoping to find more evidence and clues to support his theory.

As Kai is deep in thought, he is approached by a group of young warriors who are sitting next to him by the fire. They are wearing leather armor and helmets, holding spears and shields. They have tattoos and piercings on their faces and bodies, showing their status and identity. They have confident and friendly expressions, showing their interest and respect.

They introduce themselves to Kai, telling him their names and ranks. They are Lani, the leader of the group and a senior warrior. She is a tall and muscular woman with long black hair and brown eyes. She has a tattoo of a lion on her chest and a piercing on her nose. She is holding a spear that has a blade made of metal and a shaft made of wood. She is wearing a necklace that has a pendant made of a lion's tooth.

They are Kato, the second-in-command of the group and a junior warrior. He is a short and skinny man with short blond hair and blue eyes. He has a tattoo of a snake on his arm and a piercing on his ear. He is holding a spear that has a blade made of bone and a shaft made of bamboo. He is wearing a bracelet that has a charm made of a snake's skin.

They are Mira, the scout of the group and an apprentice warrior. She is a young and pretty girl with curly red hair and green eyes. She has a tattoo of a bird on her leg and a piercing on her lip. She is holding a spear that has a blade made of stone and a shaft made of reed. She is wearing a ring that has a feather attached to it.

They are Riku, the healer of the group and an apprentice warrior. He is a calm and gentle boy with straight brown hair and hazel eyes. He has a tattoo of a flower on his neck and a piercing on his eyebrow. He is holding a spear that has a blade made of wood and a shaft made of vine. He is wearing an earring that has a petal hanging from it.

They invite Kai to join them on their hunting mission the next day, telling him their plan and goal. They tell him that they are looking for a rare and dangerous beast that lives in the nearby mountains. They say that it is very hard to find and even harder to kill, making it a worthy prey for any hunter.

They say that it is also a test of courage and skill for them, as they want to prove themselves as warriors and hunters. They say that they have been training for this mission for months, preparing their equipment, studying their target, scouting their route, planning their strategy. They say that they are confident in their abilities, but they also know that they need some help.

They ask Kai to join them as their helper, saying that they would appreciate his help as a hunter. They say that they have heard about his achievements and reputation as a hunter, such as his collection of rare specimens, his books about different regions, his battles with enemies and beasts, his quests for treasures and secrets, his journeys to new lands and realms.

They say that they admire his passion and curiosity as a hunter, as well as his skills and knowledge as one. They say that they think he would be an asset to their team, as he could offer them some advice, tips, support, or backup.

They say that they also think he would enjoy the mission as well, as he could experience some adventure and challenge as well as some discovery and research.

They smile at Kai, saying "So what do you say? Will you join us?"

Kai agrees to join them, feeling eager to face a new challenge and to add another specimen to his collection. He thinks that the dangerous beast would be a perfect addition to his collection, as it is rare and exotic, powerful and majestic, dangerous and beautiful.

He also thinks that it would be a great way to improve his skills and to expand his knowledge, as well as to complete some hunter missions along the way.

He says "Yes, I'll join you. I'm looking forward to hunting the dangerous beast with you."

They cheer and thank him, feeling happy and grateful. They say that they are glad that he accepted their invitation, and that they are excited to hunt the horned dragon with him.

They say "You're awesome, Kai. We're lucky to have you on our team." They hug him and welcome him to their group, feeling friendly and respectful. They say "We're going to have so much fun tomorrow."

They tell him some more details about their mission, such as the time, the place, the route, the strategy. They also tell him some more stories about their tribe, such as their history, their culture, their values.

They also ask him some questions about himself, such as his background, his interests, his goals. They chat and laugh with him for a while, feeling relaxed and entertained. They then say goodnight to him and go to their tents, saying that they need to rest for the night.

They tell him that they will meet him in the morning at the car, and that they will leave at dawn. They tell him that he can sleep in one of their tents, or in his car if he prefers.

They say "Goodnight, Kai. See you tomorrow."

Kai says goodnight to them and goes to his car, saying that he prefers to sleep there. He tells them that he will see them in the morning, and that he is ready for their mission.

He says "Goodnight, guys. See you tomorrow."

He goes to his car and puts his backpack and suitcase in the trunk. He also helps Zal get in the car and lie down on the back seat. He gets in the passenger seat and reclines it, making it into a bed. He prepares his equipment for the mission, checking his camera, notebook, weapons and supplies.

He also makes sure that Zal is ready for the mission, caressing his metallic scales and horns, giving him some meat and water.

He says "We're going hunting tomorrow, Zal. We're going to hunt a horned dragon. It's going to be fun."

Zal nods and growls softly, feeling excited as well. He says "Yes, Kai. It's going to be fun. I like hunting with you."

He says "We're going hunting with some new friends. They're nice and cool. They're warriors of West Kora. They're going to help us hunt the horned dragon."

Zal nods and purrs softly, feeling friendly as well. He says "Yes, Kai. They're nice and cool. I like making new friends with you."

He says "We're going hunting for our collection. We're going to add a horned dragon to our collection. It's going to be awesome."

Zal nods and snorts softly, feeling proud as well. He says "Yes, Kai. It's going to be awesome. I like collecting with you."

He says "We're going hunting for our challenge. We're going to beat Killua in our challenge. It's going to be epic."

Zal nods and roars softly, feeling competitive as well. He says "Yes, Kai. It's going to be epic. I like challenging with you."

He smiles and hugs Zal, saying "I love you, Zal. You're my best friend."

Zal smiles and licks Kai's face, saying "I love you too, Kai. You're my best friend too."

He takes out his phone and contacts Killua via phone, telling him about his plans. He wants to tell Killua about his mission, as well as to tease him about their challenge. He dials Killua's number and waits for him to answer.

He hears Killua's voice on the phone, saying "Hey bro. What's up?"

He says "Hey bro. I have something to tell you."

He tells Killua about his mission with the warriors of West Kora. He tells him that he is going to hunt a dangerous beast in the nearby mountains. He tells him that it is a rare and dangerous beast that lives in West Kora.

He says "It's going to be an amazing hunt. I'm going to see a dangerous beast up close. I'm going to take some photos and samples of it. I'm going to add it to my collection."

He hears Killua's voice on the phone, saying "Wow bro. That sounds awesome. I'm happy for you."

He says "Thanks bro."

He teases Killua about their challenge with West Kora. He tells him that he is going to explore more of West Kora with the warriors of West Kora. He tells him that he is going to learn more about their culture and wildlife. He tells him that he is going to complete some hunter missions along the way.

He says "It's going to be a great adventure. I'm going to see more of West Kora. I'm going to learn more about their warriors and shamans. I'm going to complete some missions in West Kora."

He hears Killua's voice on the phone, saying "Wow bro. That sounds cool. I'm proud of you."

He says "Thanks bro."

He teases Killua more about their challenge with the dangerous beast. He tells him that he is going to beat him in their challenge with the dangerous beast. He tells him that he is going to have more specimens, books, battles, quests, journeys than him.

Killua says "goodluck with the challenge tomorrow".

Kai replies "thanks bro, have fun with gon."

Killua replies "you too, have fun there."

Kai then sleeps as he will wake up early tomorrow morning for the challenge.

The next morning, Kai wakes up early and meets with the group of warriors. He sees them waiting for him by the car, wearing their leather armor and helmets, holding their spears and shields. He sees their horses tied to the posts, ready to go. He sees Lani, Kato, Mira and Riku smiling and waving at him, greeting him warmly.

He greets them back and joins them by the car. He puts his backpack and suitcase in the trunk, and takes out his camera and notebook. He also helps Zal get out of the car and fly above them. He gets on his horse, which is a brown stallion that Remy lent him. He adjusts his seat and reins, making sure he is comfortable.

He says "Are we ready to go?"

They nod and say "We're ready."

They ride their horses towards the mountains, following Remy who leads them. They ride across the plains and the hills, enjoying the scenery and the breeze. They chat and laugh along the way, feeling relaxed and entertained.

They encounter some obstacles and enemies along the way, such as bandits, traps and wild beasts. They face them with teamwork and strategy, using their skills and weapons.

They encounter a group of bandits who try to rob them. They fight them off with their spears and shields, using their speed and agility. They knock them down or scare them away, leaving them behind.

They encounter a trap that is set by some hunters who want to catch some beasts. They avoid it with their senses and instincts, using their eyes and ears. They spot it or hear it before it activates, dodging it or disabling it.

They encounter a wild beast that attacks them. They defeat it with their combat and magic, using their strength and spells. They hit it or burn it with their spears or fire breath, injuring it or killing it.

They overcome these obstacles and enemies with ease, feeling confident and proud.

They continue to ride towards the mountains, getting closer to their target. They see the peaks of the mountains in the distance, looming over them. They feel a sense of anticipation and excitement, eager to hunt the dangerous beast.

They reach the lair of the dangerous beast, which turns out to be a huge griffin with golden feathers and sharp claws. They see it resting on a ledge, overlooking the valley. They see its majestic and fearsome appearance, its wings, its beak, its tail. They hear its loud and powerful roar, echoing through the mountains.

They engage in a fierce battle with it, using their spears, guns and magic. They charge at it with their horses, throwing their spears or shooting their guns at it. They dodge its attacks with their agility, avoiding its claws or fire breath. They cast spells with their magic, creating shields or explosions to protect or harm it.

Kai manages to take some photos and samples of the griffin during the fight. He uses his camera to capture its image and movements, zooming in or out to get the best shots. He uses his knife to cut off some of its feathers or scales, storing them in his backpack for later analysis.

He also helps the warriors by distracting it with Zal's fire breath. He commands Zal to fly above it and breathe fire at it, making it look up or away from the warriors. He also tells Zal to taunt it or mock it, making it angry or confused.

They fight the griffin with courage and skill, hoping to defeat it and claim it as their prey.

They finally defeat the griffin after a long struggle. They see it fall from the ledge, crashing to the ground. They see its lifeless and bloody body, its wings, its beak, its tail. They hear its final and weak cry, fading away in the mountains.

They celebrate their victory and congratulate each other. They cheer and shout, expressing their joy and relief. They hug and high-five, showing their affection and respect. They compliment and thank, acknowledging their efforts and contributions.

They also thank Kai for his assistance and praise his bravery and skill. They say that he was a great help and a great hunter. They say that he was brave and skillful in fighting the griffin. They say that he was smart and resourceful in taking photos and samples of the griffin.

They decide to take the griffin's corpse back to their camp as a trophy and a source of meat. They say that it is a rare and valuable prize that they want to show off and share with their tribe. They say that it is a large and tasty meal that they want to cook and eat with their friends.

They tie the griffin's corpse to their horses, using ropes and hooks. They ride back to their camp, feeling proud and satisfied. They look forward to telling their stories and legends about their hunt. They look forward to enjoying their food and music after their hunt.

But as they were about to leave, Kai decides to explore more of its lair since rumors say that griffins hide treasure just like dragons. He tells the warriors that he wants to check out the ledge where the griffin was resting, hoping to find something interesting or valuable. He asks them to wait for him for a few minutes, promising to be quick and careful.

He says "Hey guys, can I ask you something?"

They say "Sure, what is it?"

He says "Can I explore the griffin's lair for a bit? I want to see if there's anything cool or useful there. Maybe some treasure or clues."

They look at him with a curious expression, feeling surprised and amused.

They say "Really? You want to explore the griffin's lair? Why?"

He says "Well, I've heard some rumors that griffins hide treasure just like dragons. They collect shiny and precious things from their prey or their territory. They stash them in their lairs as a sign of their wealth and power."

They nod, saying "We've heard those rumors too. But we don't know if they're true or not. We've never seen any treasure in a griffin's lair before."

He says "Well, maybe we just haven't looked hard enough. Maybe this griffin was different. Maybe it had some treasure in its lair. Maybe we can find it and take it."

They shrug, saying "Maybe. But we doubt it. We think it's just a myth or a legend. We think it's just a waste of time and effort."

He says "Well, I don't. I think it's worth a try. I think it's a part of my job as a hunter. I think it's a part of my challenge with Killua."

They roll their eyes, saying "Oh, right. Your challenge with Killua. How could we forget?"

He says "So, can I go? Please? It won't take long. Just a few minutes. I'll be back soon."

They sigh, saying "Fine. Go ahead. But be careful. Don't get into trouble. Don't make us wait too long."

He says "Thank you. I will. Don't worry."

He climbs up the ledge with Zal, using his hands and feet. He reaches the top and sees the griffin's lair, which is a large and deep cave. He enters the cave and sees many treasures in its lair, such as gold and silver coins, jewels and gems, rings and necklaces, crowns and tiaras, swords and daggers, shields and armors.

He gasps, feeling amazed and delighted.

He says "Wow! Look at this, Zal! It's true! The griffin did hide treasure in its lair! It's incredible!"

Zal nods and growls softly, feeling impressed and curious.

He says "Yes, Kai! It's true! The griffin did hide treasure in its lair!"

He takes out his camera and takes some photos of the treasure, finding them rare and valuable. He also takes out his notebook and writes some notes about the treasure, finding them fascinating and informative.

He says "This is awesome! I'm going to add these photos and notes to my collection! I'm going to beat Killua in our challenge!"

Zal nods and snorts softly, feeling proud and competitive.

He says "Yes, Kai! This is awesome!"

He also decides to take some of the treasure with him, finding them cool and useful. He picks up some of the coins and jewels, some of the rings and necklaces, some of the swords and daggers.

He says "This is great! I'm going to take some of these treasure with me! I'm going to use them for my missions or my research!"

Zal nods and purrs softly, feeling happy and helpful.

He says "Yes, Kai! This is great!"

He puts the treasure in Zal's nen object, which is a small metal box that can expand into a large metal room when opened with nen. He opens the box with his nen and sees the room inside, which is fifty times the size of a football stadium. He sees his other specimens and books inside the room, neatly arranged on shelves and tables.

He says "This is perfect! I'm going to put these treasure in Zal's nen object! I'm going to store them safely and securely!"

Zal nods and roars softly, feeling loyal and protective.

He puts the treasure in the room and closes the box with his nen. He puts the box in his backpack and zips it up.

He says "There. That's done. Let's go."

Zal nods and says "Okay. Let's go."

But as they are about to leave, he sees something else in the cave, something that catches his eye and his interest. He sees an egg on the top of the cave, hidden behind some rocks. He sees its shape and size, its color and pattern. He sees that it is a griffin's egg, a baby griffin inside.

He gasps, feeling shocked and intrigued.

He says "Wow! Look at that, Zal! It's an egg! A griffin's egg! A baby griffin inside!"

Zal nods and growls softly, feeling surprised and curious.

He says "Yes, Kai! A griffin's egg! "

He decides to take the egg with him, finding it cute and adorable. He thinks that it would be a great pet for him and Zal, a new friend and companion. He also thinks that it would be a great addition to his collection, a rare and exotic specimen.

He says "This is awesome! I'm going to take this egg with me! I'm going to make it my pet!"

Zal nods and purrs softly, feeling friendly and excited.

He carefully picks up the egg and holds it in his arms, feeling its warmth and weight. He also feels it move slightly, as if it senses him and Zal.

He says "Hello there, little one. I'm Kai. This is Zal. We're your new friends. We're going to take care of you."

Zal smiles and licks the egg, feeling its texture and taste.

He says "Hello there, little one. I'm Zal."

He puts the egg in Zal's nen object, making sure it is safe and comfortable. He opens the box with his nen and sees the room inside. He sees a nest made of hay and feathers in one corner of the room. He puts the egg in the nest and covers it with some blankets.

He says "There you go, little one. This is your new home. You'll be cozy and warm here."

Zal nods and snorts softly, feeling cozy and warm as well.

He closes the box with his nen and puts it in his backpack again.

He says "There. That's done too. Let's go for real this time."

Zal nods and says "Okay."

Kai returns to the camp with the warriors, feeling proud and satisfied. He sees the tribe waiting for them by the fire pit, cheering and clapping for them. He sees their smiles and hugs, their praises and thanks. He sees the griffin's corpse on their horses, attracting their attention and admiration.

He shares his photos and samples with the tribe leader, who is impressed by his achievement. He shows him his camera and notebook, displaying his images and notes. He tells him about his hunt and his discovery, explaining his methods and findings. He tells him that he managed to take some photos and samples of the griffin, as well as some treasure from its lair.

He says "This is what I did, Tala. I took some photos and samples of the griffin. I also found some treasure in its lair. I wanted to share them with you."

Tala looks at Kai's photos and samples, feeling amazed and delighted.

He says "This is incredible, Kai. You did a great job. You captured the griffin's essence and beauty. You also discovered its secrets and wealth. You're a remarkable hunter."

He thanks Kai for his contribution and generosity, expressing his gratitude and friendship. He says that he appreciates Kai's help and gift, and that he values Kai's friendship and respect.

He says "Thank you, Kai. You're very kind. You helped us hunt the griffin. You also gave us some of its treasure. You're a great friend."

He also gives him some gifts as a token of gratitude and friendship, such as a necklace made of griffin feathers, a spear made of griffin bones, and a book about Kora's history and lore.

He says "These are for you, Kai. They're gifts from me and my tribe. They're symbols of our gratitude and friendship."

He hands Kai a necklace made of griffin feathers, saying "This is a necklace made of griffin feathers. It's a sign of your courage and skill as a hunter. It will protect you from harm and bring you luck."

He hands Kai a spear made of griffin bones, saying "This is a spear made of griffin bones. It's a sign of your power and magic as a shaman. It will enhance your abilities and connect you with spirits."

He hands Kai a book about Kora's history and lore, saying "This is a book about Kora's history and lore. It's a sign of your passion and curiosity as a hunter. It will teach you more about our culture and wildlife."

He smiles at Kai, saying "I hope you like them."

Kai thanks him for his generosity and kindness, and tells him that he has learned a lot from his experience with Kora. He accepts his gifts and puts them on, feeling honored and touched. He says that he has enjoyed his time with Kora, and that he has gained a lot of knowledge and skills from them. He says that he will always remember them fondly, and that he hopes to visit them again someday.

He says "Thank you, Tala. You're very generous. You gave me these wonderful gifts. You also taught me a lot about your tribe and your land. You're a great leader."

He smiles at Tala, saying "I had a lot of fun with you and your people. I learned a lot from you and your warriors. I saw a lot of amazing things in your spirit realm. I will always remember you with gratitude and friendship. I hope to see you again someday."

He also invites them to contact him if they ever need his help or advice as a hunter. He gives him his phone number and email address, saying that he is always available and willing to help. He says that he considers them as his friends and allies, and that he would be happy to assist them in any way he can.

He says "Here, take this. This is my phone number and email address. You can contact me anytime you want or need. I'm always ready and happy to help you."

He hands Tala a piece of paper with his contact information, saying "You're my friends and allies. You can count on me for anything. If you ever need my help or advice as a hunter, just let me know. I'll be there for you."

Kai decides to stay with them for fifteen days before continuing his journey. He enjoys their company and participates in their activities. He also updates his book with new information and insights about Kora's wildlife and culture.

He says "I've decided to stay with you for a while. I want to learn more about you and your land. I want to have more fun with you and your people."

They welcome him and invite him to join them in their activities. They say that they are happy to have him as their guest and friend. They say that they have a lot to offer him and to teach him.

They say "We're glad that you decided to stay with us. We want to share more with you and your dragon. We want to have more fun with you and your dragon."

They take him to different places and events in their land, such as their villages and markets, their festivals and ceremonies, their farms and gardens, their schools and libraries. They show him their way of life and their culture, such as their customs and traditions, their beliefs and values, their arts and crafts, their stories and legends.

He updates his book with new information and insights about Kora's wildlife and culture. He uses his camera and notebook, recording his observations and experiences. He writes about the places he visited, the people he met, the things he saw, the events he attended.

He also proves his theory that their magic is the same as nen, the staff he was given with is imbued with nen but they said it was made with the help of magic. He uses his second hatsu, dragon eye, to see the aura and nen abilities of the people of Kora. He sees that they use nen unconsciously through their dances and rituals, activating it with their emotions and intentions. He sees that the staff he was given has nen imbued in it, creating a bond between him and the staff.

He sends some copies of his book to his family, his publisher and Killua. He uses his phone and email, attaching his files and messages. He tells them about his adventure and his findings, sharing his excitement and pride. He tells them that he has completed some hunter missions in Kora, exploring the spirit realm, finding treasure in the griffin's lair.

He also went to do some combat hunter missions such as defeating bandit camps, gangs, poacher camps and criminals all over West Kora. He heard about these missions from the warriors of West Kora, who asked him to join them in their patrols and raids. He agreed to help them, as he wanted to improve his skills and to protect the people and wildlife of West Kora.

He says "I've also decided to do some combat hunter missions. I want to help you fight the enemies and threats in your land. I want to improve my skills and protect your people and wildlife."

They thank him and welcome him to join them in their patrols and raids. They say that they appreciate his help and his skill. They say that they have a lot of enemies and threats in their land, such as bandits, gangs, poachers and criminals.

They say "We're grateful that you decided to help us. We need your help and your skill. We have a lot of enemies and threats in our land. They harm our people and wildlife."

They take him to different locations and situations in their land, such as bandit camps and hideouts, gang territories and bases, poacher camps and traps, criminal dens and markets. They fight them with their spears, guns and magic, using their speed, agility, strength and spells.

He fights them with his medium sword, guns and nen, using his skills, knowledge, weapons and abilities. He uses his first hatsu, dragon fist, to create parts of the dragon to fight using his arms and feet. He uses his second hatsu, dragon eye, to see the aura and nen abilities of his enemies. He uses his third hatsu, dragon scale, to boost his attributes depending on the color and pattern.

He defeats bandit camps, gangs, poacher camps and criminals all over West Kora, completing some combat hunter missions along the way. He sees them run away or surrender, leaving behind their weapons or loot. He hears them beg for mercy or curse him, admitting their defeat or threatening him.

Kai bids farewell to them after fifteen days and resumes his journey with Zal. He packs his backpack and suitcase, putting his equipment and supplies in them. He also puts Zal's nen object in his backpack, making sure it is safe and secure. He gets in his car and starts the engine, ready to go.

He says "It's time to go, Zal. We have to resume our journey."

Zal nods and growls softly, feeling ready as well.

He looks at the map of Kora and decides to explore the north, east and south Kora. He sees the different regions and features of Kora on the map, such as the forests and lakes of North Kora, the deserts and oases of East Kora, the islands and seas of South Kora.

He says "This is our next destination, Zal. We're going to explore the rest of Kora."

He says "Yes, Kai."

He wonders what new adventures and discoveries await him in the world. He thinks about the places he will visit, the people he will meet, the things he will see, the events he will attend.

He says "Yes, Kai. This is our life"
