Chapter 303 Antelope Knight

Chapter 303 Antelope Knight
Under the gray full moon, the wind and sand rolled gently over the earth, brushing past the corpses on the battlefield.

The man in black was sitting on a piece of gravel, with a knife across his knees, watching Ulquiorra in front of him devouring the corpse of the Hollow.

"How is it, is there any improvement?"

Lu Li asked Ulquiorra, it had been two days since the two of them had started their journey together.

After spending some time together, Lu Li discovered that although Ulquiorra seemed a little dull during this period, he was more unable to find the meaning of his existence in the void. In short, he was not stupid, but rather very smart.

In some matters, Lu Li found that Ulquiorra was more careful than himself. No wonder Aizen would trust Ulquiorra so much two hundred years later in the original work and entrusted all the affairs of the Kyonyakū to him.

Lu Li couldn’t say that he had awakened Ulquiorra now. He felt that Ulquiorra probably just became curious about him during his exile, so he wanted to follow and observe him.

Just as he observed Ulquiorra, Ulquiorra also treated him as an object of observation, and the two of them got what they needed.

After Ulquiorra finished devouring the Achukas-class Hollow in front of him, he replied without emotion: "It's very small, almost imperceptible."

"It's too weak for you, right? Don't worry, as we get closer to the central area, we should run into quite a few powerful guys."

Lu Li thought, the area of ​​Hueco Mundo is very large, and the edge areas are very desolate, but the closer to the central area of ​​the Hueco Mundo Palace, the more large Hollows gather.

Yachukas's evolutionary path is one of either advancing or regressing. Once he stops devouring, he will not be able to maintain his current strength. Not only that, he may continue to decline and eventually become a Kilian-level Hollow, and will never be able to awaken his self-awareness again.

This is an extremely terrifying thing for many Achucas. Due to this limitation, most Achucas try hard to hunt every day, either hunting enemies and devouring them to evolve, or turning into food for other Achucas.

The law of the jungle in Hueco Mundo is more straightforward than in the human world. The fear of degeneration forces the Hollows to fight each other. Those Achukas who are more "motivated" and confident in their own strength will move towards the central area of ​​Hueco Mundo, looking for stronger opponents to fight.

Analyzing from the hunting situations of Lu Li and Ulquiorra in the past two days, Lu Li felt that ordinary Achukas might be useless for Ulquiorra's evolution. At least they would have to be as effective as the two Achukas he had killed before.

But in fact, he found that the Yak and Orochi Hollows before were already considered strong Achukas. In the Hueco Mundo, most of the Achukas he killed would only have End Coins, and no inheritance crystals would explode.

"Mr. Lu, I don't recommend going any further."

Ulquiorra expressed his opinion. He just didn't understand what this magical thing called the heart was. It didn't mean that he didn't have basic logical thinking ability. On the contrary, it was precisely because he had no heart that he could make the most calm logical analysis and judgment most of the time.

"Oh why?"

Lu Li has not yet triggered the Pioneer's hunting radar, and based on the several Chaos Space Explorers he met yesterday, he believes that the violators should also move towards the central area.

Because he discovered that the explorers of the chaotic space entered this world as virtual beings, it was also the first time he knew that the mainstream in the major spaces were not all human beings, but there were other races as well.

The main race in the chaotic space is a kind of green-skinned humanoid creature. Depending on the differences among individuals, there will be some guys who look very unique in Lu Li's opinion.

Because they don't look human at first glance, they can't be classified into the camp of Death Gods or humans, so they can only be thrown into the Hueco Mundo and gain a foothold in the Hueco Mundo camp.

All major spaces must be fair. In the world of Bleach, being naturally locked in the Hollow camp is not a good thing, because the power of the Hueco Mundo is the weakest. Explorers of the Chaos Space who are sent here will definitely have some advantages over explorers from the Bleach and Quincy camps.

After Lu Li's friendly negotiations yesterday, he learned what kind of benefits the explorers of the chaotic space of Hueco Mundo could gain. Interestingly, it was similar to his side quest.

Chaos Space Explorers will all receive a side quest that defines them as Achukas, and they can directly obtain free attribute points by killing other Achukas!

Yes, this kind of reward is more direct than the reward for Lu Li’s side quest, and it is also more generous.

Of course, Lu Li felt that his mission was not bad, except that there were too few Yachukas that could drop inheritance crystals.

Through the analysis of the enemy explorers' missions, Lu Li believes that the violators will never leave Hueco Mundo, and will try to gain a foothold in Hueco Mundo and gain more benefits.

Based on his understanding of the violators, they are all lawless people. Since it is his turn as a pioneer to take action, it means that the violator has killed many judges. Not to mention that he does not know the information of the hunter yet, even if the violator knows it, he will not be afraid.

In this case, the offender, as a 'Hollow', will of course find ways to use methods that ordinary people would never think of to clear the side quests and find ways to dominate the Hueco Mundo.

At least Lu Li felt that if he were the violator, he would definitely think so.

After a simple analysis, Lu Li thought that if he wanted to catch the violator, it would be a good idea to go closer to Xuye Palace, as that was where strong people gathered.

At this time, after Ulquiorra finished devouring, the Hollow under his feet turned into dust. He said calmly: "In the central area of ​​Hueco Mundo, there is the Hueco Mundo Palace. That is where the King of Hueco Mundo is located. I heard that it is not peaceful there recently."

"Oh? Why didn't you tell me before?"

Lu Li was not surprised by Ulquiorra's knowledge of Hueco Mundo. After all, he had been wandering here for many years and must have ways to obtain information.

"Mr. Lu didn't ask me, I just followed you."

Ulquiorra said in a flat voice.

Lu Li held his forehead with one hand and said, "This is my negligence."

He really didn't explain too much to Ulquiorra, mainly because Ulquiorra had a lot of questions in the past two days and often discussed philosophy with him, which made him very troubled.

"Is the King of Hueco Mundo very strong? How big is the gap between you and him?"

Lu Li asked the question that he was concerned about. Now that Sosuke has not yet ruled the Hueco Mundo, all the Hollows here are pure and natural and pollution-free.

He was very curious, how strong would the natural Vastod be in this situation?
"I haven't seen it, and I don't care about it."

Ulquiorra said, "But I am sure that the King of Hueco Mundo is a Vastold-class Hollow."

Lu Lixin said, isn't this nonsense? "You just said that the central area is not peaceful. Did something happen?"

"I learned this when I was fighting other Hollows. It may not be accurate, but they said that the army of the Kyonya Palace was clearing the surrounding area, and many Achukas were killed."

Ulquiorra walked over to stand next to Lu Li, "I don't think it's wise to go to that chaotic place right now."

"Didn't you not care about life or death before? You were also worried about danger?"

Lu Li asked curiously.

"I just don't know the meaning of life, but it doesn't mean I want to die. All living things should want to live, right? Besides, I have to evolve to the Vastod level now to get a heart."

Only a pair of eyes were revealed on Xiao Wu's white mask, and he looked at Lu Li calmly.

Lu Li felt very strange, as if he was talking to a robot. He could not feel any emotions in the conversation, and this artificial intelligence was always trying to figure out what the heart was.

"Well, what you said makes sense. Normally, as a living being, we should avoid danger and move in a direction that is more conducive to our own survival."

Lu Li brushed off the dust on his body as he stood up, "But I still want to go to the central area." "Why?"

Ulquiorra said the three words he said most often in the past few days.

Lu Li smiled and patted Xiao Wu's shoulder. "Because this is interesting. It's boring to just hunt small fish around and repeat the same boring routine. Wasn't it the same for you before? You were so bored that you didn't even bother to use your real strength to hunt."

"interesting……"

Ulquiorra savored the brief summary that Lu Li often used, "Even if the road ahead is dangerous and you may encounter an enemy you cannot defeat, Mr. Lu will still want to move forward. This does not conform to my understanding of survival. Is this... the judgment made by your heart?"

"You could say that if I retreated easily when I felt there was danger and lost the courage to challenge the strong, I would feel that my life was too boring. Only the fish that dared to swim upstream could become dragons."

Lu Li explained, and walked forward.

Ulquiorra's judgment was calm and correct, but Lu Li wanted to complete the task of hunting down violators and obtain more inheritance crystals.

Of course, he would not commit suicide by entering the Xuye Palace, and after experiencing so many worlds, he is not such a reckless person.

The situation in this world is very chaotic, and his own strength is not top-notch. If he wants to go to the center of Hueco Mundo and fight against possible soul singers and violators, he must have a backup plan.

So when he met those explorers of the chaotic space, he did not kill them, but signed a contract with them and asked them to help him do something.

According to the contract, that group of people will go from the Dangkai to the real world through the black cavity opened with the help of Ulquiorra, and help him convey a certain message to the Death God of the Fifth Division.

He was isolated and helpless at the beginning, and it was difficult for him to gain any support, so he might be at a disadvantage compared to the violators or soul singers in the chaotic space, but he also had connections in this world.

If a real group fight breaks out, who wouldn’t know how to call for help?

"Fish swimming upstream? ... Are those Hollows heading to the central area to fight also fish?"

Xiao Wu followed behind Lu Li, seeming to be talking to himself, but also as if asking a question.

He suddenly realized that not only could he not understand the behavior of the humans in front of him, he even began to be unable to understand the behavior of his own kind.

Don't those great hollows know that it is dangerous to go to the central area to fight and kill? But they still went there. Was it because they succumbed to the fear of degeneration or the desire for evolution?

It turns out that those virtual beings not only want to survive, but also want to pursue "transformation into dragons" to live a better life.

“Everyone in this world is a fish in a river. Some fish go with the flow and are at ease, while others swim upstream and struggle to cross the river.”

Lu Li said with emotion.

"Then Mr. Lu, what kind of fish are you? A fish that swims upstream to cross the river?"

Ulquiorra asked curiously.

However, to his surprise, Lu Li shook his head and smiled: "Neither. If I have to say... I should be the fish that wants to jump out."

"So, only by being a fish swimming upstream or jumping out can the 'heart' not feel bored? Is this the meaning of self-realization for those of you who have a heart?"

Ulquiorra was constantly thinking.

"No, you misunderstood."

Lu Li slowed down his pace slightly. "Every fish has its own way of living. No one can easily define the right or wrong and meaning of other people's way of living. Whether you fight against the current or go with the flow, as long as you are happy, it is meaningful."

"Are you happy..."

Ulquiorra silently chanted the word, placing his hand on his chest, "It is difficult for me to understand some of the words you humans use. I can't feel anything here, only endless nothingness."

“It’s not for you to feel with your hands, nor is it for you to understand with your heart.”

Lu Li said, "When you really feel happy, your body will naturally tell you."

While the two were talking, a cloud of dust burst out from behind the sand dunes in front of them, obviously some creatures were fighting.

Lu Li and Ulquiorra both focused their attention on the direction where the spiritual pressure burst came from, ending their daily chat.

Amid the roar, the sand dunes were completely blown away by the flash, forming a sand waterfall that rushed into the sky, sweeping towards Lu Li and Ulquiorra like a tsunami.

In the sand waterfall, an agile figure rushed out from the sand with a virtual weapon in his left hand.

The incident happened suddenly, but Lu Li's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan still allowed him to see the figure clearly. The upper body was that of a girl with curvy figure and undulating hills, with an antelope-like mask on her head, and the lower body was an antelope-like body.

She exerted force with her hand and threw the virtual being that followed her to a safe area. She stared at the enemy behind the sand dune, "Why are you attacking us? We have no intention of being your enemy!"

Her tone was filled with confusion and bewilderment, and she used her spiritual pressure to gather a knight's spear in her hand to block the opponent's attack.

shhhhh--

Figures appeared one after another under the sea of ​​sand that covered the sky. The high-speed sound made them surround the female antelope knight. Most of them were strange-looking Achucas, and some were green-skinned "Hypocrites" with crude masks on their faces.

The leading Yachukas wielded a broadsword-like weapon and clashed with the antelope knight's spear. During the confrontation, he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has ordered that all the Great Voids wandering in this area be expelled. If you do not want to leave your habitat, you can also choose to submit to His Majesty."

"We have never had a conflict with the Kyonakyu Palace, and we have no intention of going to war in the future. Release Dondechaka and let us leave. I don't want to fight with you."

The Antelope Knight tried to negotiate.

But at this time, the Yachukas on all sides had already surrounded him, there were more than twenty of them, which made the powerful antelope knight frown slightly.

She was not worried about her own safety, as with her strength these Achukas would not be able to keep her, but she was worried about whether her companions would be injured in the battle.

"Lord Nilu, don't worry about me, just evacuate first!"

The Hollow that was thrown into the sand dunes by the Antelope Knight crawled out and shouted anxiously.

"Heh, His Majesty said that when he sees a powerful Xu, he wants to recruit him into the Xuye Palace. Today you either surrender or die here."

Achukas, who was holding a broadsword, had his spiritual pressure burst out, further threatening him.
