Chapter 306: Nellie Ludu Odeshuvank
Chapter 306: Nelliel Du Odeshvank
Nel, who was in the middle of a fierce battle with Ulquiorra, was also very nervous when she saw Lu Li walking towards her. She had just seen how Lu Li attacked.
Although the spiritual pressure displayed by Lu Li was not as high as hers and the humanoid Bai Xu in front of him, his lethality was very strong. It only took him a moment to wipe out the Xuyagura army that was chasing her. This was definitely not an ordinary god of death.
Even for a captain-level figure of the Death Gods, it would definitely not be easy to kill this group of Yachukas so quickly and efficiently.
Ni Lu was anxious, thinking that it was already difficult for her to protect Pei Xue while dealing with the human-shaped Bai Xu in front of her. If this terrible god of death attacked them together, they might really die here today.
But to Nilu's surprise, the black-clad Grim Reaper did not attack after approaching. Instead, she shouted to her opponent, "Xiao Wu, stop. I have something to ask her."
Upon hearing this, Ulquiorra used the force to retreat during the attack, flapped his wings, and landed next to Lu Li.
"Mr. Lu, she is very strong."
Ulquiorra warned.
"I know you are much stronger than I thought."
Lu Li smiled and said, to be honest, those explorers who wanted to hunt down Nilu were really a bit too arrogant.
Lu Li didn't know what level the Nel in front of him was, but even if she was not a Vastrode-level Hollow, she was not far behind, and was even higher than Ulquiorra's current stage.
That is to say, Nilu is kind by nature and does not want meaningless killings. Plus, they may have hostages, so they chased Nilu and her group here.
But Nilu is not without temper. If someone she cares about is really hurt, and she is forced into a corner, she will definitely go all out and kill all these Hollows.
It can be seen that she seemed to be taking Pei Xue into consideration. Even in the battle with Ulquiorra just now, she still retained a certain amount of strength to avoid the excessive spiritual pressure from suffocating her companions.
In fact, Lu Li felt that if Nel and Ulquiorra were to go all out, their combined attributes after releasing their spiritual pressure would probably be above 88 points.
This is the power that is close to the Vastod-level Hollow. It can be said that even if they are not Arrancar yet, they are not masters that ordinary captains can deal with.
Oh, the ordinary captain mentioned here does not mean the captain of the Gotei 13 at the beginning of the Bleach plot. To be honest, there was no "ordinary captain" at that time.
But most captains in the history of Soul Society are not that strong. There are even some combat power counting units, or captains like Aikawa Rabu, who are just ordinary captains. To put it simply, their spiritual pressure is about the same, and they can use Bankai, so they are considered captains.
But in fact, the gap between the captain-level Shinigami is huge, from the pure Shinigami peak like Captain Yamamoto to the combat power counting unit.
Honestly speaking, Lu Li felt that if Ulquiorra and Nel went all out to surround and kill him, it would be quite troublesome for him to deal with them. Not to mention Nel, Ulquiorra's super-speed regeneration was like a built-in wireless refill nurse, and he was not very afraid of his own continuous true damage special effects.
If you don't use the forbidden explosive skill, your attributes will be suppressed a lot and it will be difficult to fight.
It’s just that at the moment he and Xiao Wu are on the same front, so there’s nothing to compare.
"What do you want to know? I have no intention of making an enemy of you. If I know something, I can tell you."
Because Nel is about to evolve into Vastod, her rationality is much higher than other Hollows, and she does not have a strong faction prejudice against the Grim Reaper. She thinks it is sad that two rational creatures would kill each other as soon as they meet.
"What happened near the Xuye Palace?"
Lu Li asked, looking Ni Lu's figure up and down. He had to admit that this female knight was indeed very broad-minded.
If you look at Nilu from a distance, you would think she is a mythical centaur, but her lower body is actually an antelope, and it does not mean that only those with a human-like body can meet the standard of the Vastod class.
Nilu has obvious human features, and her lower body is probably just a manifestation of the power of the void that she has not given up on the road of evolution.
If she fully evolves to the Vasthold level, this feature may disappear, or she may retain it on her own, but no matter what, once she becomes an Arrancar, she will completely transform into a human form.
"Lady Nilu... this god of death looks so scary."
Pei Xue hid behind Ni Lu and complained quietly. He saw with his own eyes how Lu Li slaughtered those Yachukas, and he still had some psychological trauma.
"It's okay, I'm here."
Nel first comforted her two companions in a gentle voice. With a firm and steady gaze, she answered Lu Li's question, "I'm not sure either, but the King of Hueco Mundo seems to be very angry about something. He may have been bewitched by some 'person'. He ordered the expulsion of the surrounding Hollows. We are just victims."
Speaking of this, Nel was also a little indignant. Although she had never seen the King of Hueco Mundo, she believed that it must be a Vastold-level Hollow.
A Xu of this level must have regained his rationality and transformed from animality to humanity, but why would he still do such a cruel thing?
Obviously, there were many exiled small Hollows in the nearby area, as well as small groups like hers who were not interested in fighting with the world, but they were all ruthlessly slaughtered by Bylergan's army.
Those small Hollows, which were not even big Hollows, were not spared and trampled by the army. The brutal Achukas Hollows let out bloodthirsty laughter, which made her very uncomfortable.
"Is this common?"
Lu Li asked thoughtfully. He knew that Bylergan himself was not a good person. He was the kind of tyrant who would want his subordinates to fight each other for fun when he was bored. However, mobilizing the army on such a large scale to clean up the surrounding area was obviously a bit wrong.
"We have lived in a hidden cave nearby for hundreds of years and have never encountered anything like this. I think Bylergan has gone crazy."
There was dissatisfaction towards the tyrant in Nel's eyes, and she was unwilling to admit that he was the king of Hueco Mundo.
"Xiao Wu, what do you think?"
Lu Li asked Ulquiorra for his opinion. Since the other party's name was too long, he gave it a shortened name. Ulquiorra himself had no objection and quickly got used to his new name.
"I have not seen the King of Hueco Mundo either, but this is very unusual. From a survival perspective, I do not recommend moving forward, but I will defer to Mr. Lu's judgment."
Ulquiorra said in a calm voice, he had no reason to go to the central area, but he wanted to observe Lu Li and understand how the heart would drive a person to do what he considered 'abnormal' actions.
"Well, let's go check it out."
Lu Li grinned, he felt that things were becoming more and more interesting, if the King of Hueco Mundo was behaving so abnormally because of a violator or a soul singer, then he had come to the right place.
Although he is a warrior who doesn't like to think, he will not rush into action recklessly. If his opponent really has hooked up with Bylergan, he will first consider withdrawing from the Hueco Mundo and returning to Soul Society to seek external help.
It's like everyone can use leverage.
But before that, he wanted to find out the specific situation of the water in Hueco Mundo.
Anyway, with Ulquiorra by his side, the other party can activate the Black Chamber, and he can withdraw from Hueco Mundo at any time.
"Hey, didn't you hear what I just said? It's extremely dangerous within 500 kilometers of Xuye Palace now."
Ni Lu kindly reminded her that since the war had stopped and the other party had helped her out in disguise, she certainly didn't want to see the other party go over there and die.
"But I have something to confirm over there, so I can only go and take a look."
Lu Li said as he called Ulquiorra to head towards the direction of the Palace of the Night. From the perspective of strength, he could cooperate with Ulquiorra to kill Nel, but there was no reason for that. He was also a rational creature and would not mindlessly slaughter people just for the sake of the mission. The Achukas he and Xiao Wu had met in the past two days were the kind of guys who would rush up and scream when they saw him as the god of death, so they killed them all.
Besides, when he personally read the comics, he quite admired this chivalrous Miss Nel. She was a rare kindhearted girl among the Espada, and he had no intention of hurting Nel.
After Lu Li and Ulquiorra walked forward for a while, they found that Nel had also followed them, or was walking in the same direction as them.
"Woman, what are you doing following us?"
Before Lu Li asked, Ulquiorra turned around and spoke.
Nilu seemed happy to be called a woman, but when she thought of something, her heart became gloomy, "I'm not following you, but going to Xuye Palace."
"Oh? Didn't you just persuade us not to go to dangerous places?"
Lu Li asked with a smile.
"Lord Nilu, please calm down. Dondechaka may have escaped from somewhere else."
Pei Xue was also beside Ni Lu at this time and tried to persuade her, "It's very dangerous to go back now."
He is Nilu's follower and also Dondechaka's good friend. Naturally, he wants to go back to save Dondechaka, but his personal strength is not enough, and he doesn't want to see Nilu go back to take risks.
"Stop talking. I won't abandon Dondechaka."
Nilu said in a deep voice.
"From what you said, your partner was arrested?"
Lu Li touched his chin and confirmed his previous guess. He said that no matter how good Ni Lu's temper was, she wouldn't be able to be chased without fighting back. It seemed that Dongdechaka had indeed become a virtual substance.
"We were suddenly attacked. A few green Yachukas kidnapped my friend Dondechaka. I was afraid they would hurt Dondechaka, so I didn't fight back. Now that the crisis is over, I naturally have to go back to save him."
Nilu explained briefly. She was quite smart and knew that if they fought in a tense situation, Dondechaka would most likely be killed in the chaos because his opponent would not be calm.
But if she finds an opportunity to go around and rescue secretly, she might be able to save Dondechaka.
At this moment, Lu Li suddenly heard a prompt in his ears, and he triggered a hidden task.
[Hidden Mission: Bond of Admiration]
Mission content: Help Nilu rescue Dondechaka.
Mission Difficulty: Normal ~ Must Die
Mission Reward: Admiration Bond
Failure penalty: None
Judging from the difficulty of the mission, this mission may not be that easy to complete. Depending on his luck and the situation he encounters, he may complete the mission easily, or he may end up confronting the King of Hueco Mundo and the Chaos Army.
But the reward for the mission was considerable. Lu Li looked at the details and found that this was a world positioning item, through which he could return to the world of death.
Lu Li felt that it was not realistic to defeat the Grim Reaper within a few months, so he needed to strive for the reward for this mission.
"Since it's on our way, if you are willing to help us deal with the enemies along the way, we can also help you rescue your companions."
Lu Li thought for a while and said that he felt that helping Ni Lu was not without benefits. It was more dangerous to go deeper. Even if it was not for the mission, it would be a good thing to have more strength among the companions.
"Really? So you're a good person."
A smile appeared on Nilu's face, she was a little surprised, she didn't expect that the other party was willing to help them.
"Lord Nilu... He is the god of death..."
Pei Xue reminded quietly from the side.
"It seems that your partner is prejudiced against me, but does the god of death have to hunt down hollows? Xiaowu and I get along very well."
Lu Li said, patting Xiao Wu on the shoulder, "Xiao Wu, you said so, right?"
"Mr. Lu, I don't know if we get along well."
As a result, Xiao Wu started to sabotage as soon as he opened his mouth.
Lu Li was a little embarrassed. "It's up to you to judge. Anyway, I'm going to the central area to collect intelligence."
"No, I believe you. I have no prejudice against the god of death. Since you are willing to communicate with us, I believe we can understand each other."
Nilu's face was somewhat innocent as she spoke, "Let's act together."
"Well, we can act together. I will also help you rescue your companions along the way, but you must not stop us from hunting down the Hollows we encounter."
Lu Li pointed at Xiao Wu beside him and said, "I hope Xiao Wu can evolve to a Vastod-level Hollow, so that he won't have to worry about degeneration anymore."
"You are such a weird person. If he wants to evolve, devouring other Voids is a normal part of his ecology. Why should I stop him?"
Ni Lu said, and suddenly understood what Lu Li meant, "Oh, I won't meddle in other people's business. What do you think of me?"
"Then it'll be fine."
Lu Li shook his head. He realized that he had been overthinking. Since Nilu could evolve to a Vastod-level Hollow, she couldn't be a pedantic Hollow.
Before evolving to the pinnacle, she must have hunted many Achukas, but she may not be so proactive in hunting after reaching the current stage, and will only kill and devour the invading Achukas.
After confirming the temporary alliance, Lu Li explained himself, "My name is Lu Li, what's your name?"
"Nellielu du Odeshuvank, you can just call me Nellielu."
Nilu introduced herself with a smile, and then introduced the Xu next to him, "This is my friend, Peixue Kadishe."
When Xiao Wu saw the others looking at him, he said, "Ulquiorra Cifer."
"Xiao Wu, go clean up the battlefield, and then we'll set off."
Lu Li ordered that so many Xu were not killed in vain and should not be wasted.
Especially the personal guards under Bylergan, who were considered strong among the Yachukas. They all gave him inheritance crystals. It would be a waste if Xiao Wu didn't swallow them.
