Chapter 308: Look how scared the child is
boom--

A Yachukas-class Hollow fell with a dull sound, and Lu Li swung his sword with a bloody vibration, ending the battle.

Two days have passed since I started working with Nilu.

The Kyonya Palace did mobilize a lot of Great Hollows to carry out the clearing operations, and some Great Hollows, out of fear of Bylergan, chose to surrender when they were being cleared out and joined Bylergan's army.

Therefore, Lu Li and Ni Lu encountered a lot of resistance as they went deeper into the area. They had encountered four groups of combat troops in the past two days and killed more than thirty Yachukas.

It can only be said that the closer you get to the central area, the less valuable the Achucas become. In the cruel struggle of the survival of the fittest, a large number of Achucas die every day.

But in a normal ecological environment, the number of Achukas in Hueco Mundo will not decrease. The Hollows are devouring each other. At the same time, new Achukas will emerge from the Great Hollow Forest.

"Nelue, aren't you going to devour some? You should be close to Vastod, right?"

Lu Li watched Ulquiorra devour the Hollow he had killed and asked Nel.

Nilu shook her head. "Although they attacked first, this is not the Hollow I defeated. I will not consume your achievements."

"boring."

Ulquiorra stopped devouring and judged Nel's words, "What's the point of this persistence?"

Lu Li smiled at Ulquiorra, "You actually said it's boring."

Ulquiorra put down an Achukas, "I don't understand her thinking. If evolution is the right path, why should she worry about whether the prey was killed by her? Since Mr. Lu has invited her, she doesn't need to kill to get the nutrients for evolution. Why should she refuse?"

He said in a calm but serious tone: "This way of thinking is boring and incomprehensible to me."

Nel was not angry because of Ulquiorra's comments. She just looked at Ulquiorra with some sympathy, "I think the path of evolving into Vastod is the way to find humanity from the animality of the Hollow. As a human being, I naturally have my own persistence."

Ulquiorra was silent for a while after hearing this, "Is that your heart?"

"Heart? Everyone has a heart. You are right. My heart does not allow me to bully the weak, nor does it allow me to kill meaninglessly. So I will only kill those Hollows that attack me without reason, and devour them according to the laws of nature."

Nilu explained, "I think fighting should have a reason. Fighting to follow animal desires is a low-level reason for fighting in my opinion. I don't like to bear the lives of people who are not warriors."

Ulquiorra fell into deep thought. It was obvious that Nel's words were a little difficult for him to understand.

Lu Li watched the conversation between the two virtual beings with great interest. He could only say that the clash of thoughts between Xiao Wu and Ni Lu was very interesting. One was an absolutely calm void, while the other was a naive, kind and chivalrous person with positive energy.

In the past two days, Ulquiorra talked more to Nel than to himself, mainly because there were too many things Nel did that he couldn't understand.

For example, Ulquiorra felt that the probability of Dondechaka surviving was very low, and he didn't understand why Nel would go to save him, putting both her and Pesha in danger.

If it is about valuing companions, then isn't Pei Xue, who is still alive, important? In Xiao Wu's opinion, Ni Lu's behavior is very irrational.

But Nilu said that even if Dondechaka had been killed, she would find Dondechaka's body.

This was even more incomprehensible to Xiao Wu. He wondered what use a corpse would have. Besides, if Dondchaka was already dead, he would probably have been eaten.

In short, he could not understand Ni Lu's thoughts at all, which were even more puzzling to him than Mr. Lu's actions.

"It's a good thing to have self-persistence. In my opinion, you are already a human being, and a powerful one at that."

Lu Li praised from the side. He admired Ni Lu's point of view. Although he was warlike, he would not slaughter the weak meaninglessly.

"Mr. Lu is a very strange person. No, as a god of death, why do you appear in Hueco Mundo and act with the Hollows?"

Nel asked curiously, and even Ulquiorra looked at Lu Li curiously, wanting to know the answer.

"It was just an accident."

Lu Li explained, "Decades ago, I accidentally followed the Great Void through the Black Chamber. I couldn't find the way back, so I stayed in exile in the Great Void Forest. I only got out after I became stronger."

"Is that so? If you want to go back, I can open the black cavity and let you return to the real world."

Nilu said that it was not difficult for a Hollow to open the black cavity, let alone a Hollow like her who was about to reach the watt level.

"I could have gone back after meeting Kuroko, but as a god of death, I want to find out the truth about the chaos in Hueco Mundo, which is worthy of my status."

Lu Li was not lying. Information was life. No one had much information at the beginning, so it was relatively safe to inquire at this time. It would be very troublesome to negotiate later after everyone had gained a firm foothold.

"As a god of death? You are the most amazing god of death I have ever seen. I have seen several of them in the past. They were obviously rational beings, but they wanted to kill me without any reason."

Nelue had not seen many Shinigami, mainly because she had been in Hueco Mundo since she could remember. Over the long years, she had only occasionally seen a few Shinigami who had strayed into Hueco Mundo. When they saw her, there was only fear in their eyes, and then they attacked.

"Bias comes from fear, and fear comes from the unknown, which is normal."

Lu Li stretched lazily, "I know you well enough in Hueco Mundo. I will be happy if I can meet someone I can communicate with when I am wandering alone. It doesn't matter whether they are human or Hollow."

Ni Lu and Xiao Wu were both chewing over what Lu Li had just said. Xiao Wu didn't think it was a big deal, but Ni Lu thought it made a lot of sense.

"Yes, we are both rational creatures. If we can have a good conversation, maybe there is no need to fight each other, right? After all, we are all human beings in the final analysis..."

At this point, Nilu became a little angry again, "Bailagan behaved like this, I really doubt whether he is Vastod!"

"of course."

Lu Li said affirmatively.

"Why? As a god of death, you have only been in Hueco Mundo for a few decades. Have you ever seen the King of Hueco Mundo?"

Nilu asked in confusion.

"It is precisely because he considers himself a king and acts so cruelly that he is Vastod..."

Lu Li's tone was full of meaning, "...Nilu, human nature is not only good. Bylergan's greed for power and brutality, isn't this typical human nature?"

After hearing this, Ni Lu opened her mouth slightly and was speechless for a moment, but when she thought about it carefully, what Lu Li said seemed to be true. She was the one who naively thought that Vastod should be as rational and kind as her.

"So, be more careful in the future, and don't think too highly of other people or Xu, otherwise you will suffer a great loss."

Lu Li reminded him as he stood up and prepared to head towards his destination. According to the information he had obtained from torturing a Void, Dondechaka was indeed not dead and might have been imprisoned by several explorers, most likely to be used for fishing.

Just as he was calling Ulquiorra to finish eating and go to rescue Dondechaka, Lu Li suddenly frowned, stretched out his hand and caught a spiritual pressure. The reason why he used the word "Tao" is because this spiritual pressure has a physical form, and like translucent ink, after being caught by Lu Li, it moved a few times before slowly disappearing.

"what is this?"

Seeing this, Nilu asked curiously. Her perception was also very strong, but she did not notice anything like this approaching just now.

"Binding Dao..."

Lu Li pondered for a moment. After catching this spiritual pressure, he quickly understood what it was based on his memory. He had used this kind of binding technique in actual combat before. It was a binding technique used to find people, and it was called "Slapping Toes to Chase Birds".

This binding technique can sense the opponent's spiritual pressure and track and capture their location, but the range is not very wide, at most covering an area as large as Seireitei or Kyōyakū.

Now he has captured the tracking spiritual pressure of this ghost path, which means that the person who released the bondage path is nearby.

Is he an explorer? Or a real indigenous god of death?
Before Lu Li fell into deep thought, reality quickly gave him the answer.

Swah——

A figure came from a distance, stepped at high speed, and appeared in front of Lu Li and his companions.

Because Ulquiorra and Nel were not in combat and were concerned about Pescara, their spiritual pressure was suppressed very low and basically not noticeable, so the newcomers did not realize how terrifying the two Hollows present were.

Lu Li looked at the person who appeared in front of him, and was surprised for a moment, but then he was overjoyed.

The man in front of him was wearing a black death suit, had brown skin, a purple afro, goggles on his face, and had a tall and slender figure, exuding a capable look.

"Death god? Tell me your name and squad number."

The man 'looked' at the direction where Lu Li was and spoke calmly.

In his perception, he captured the spiritual pressure of the God of Death, and there were several Hollows beside the God of Death, but these Hollows were very quiet, and the spiritual pressure fluctuations were not violent. He thought that they should be weak Hollows, and was not very alert.

After all, in his perception, the God of Death was alive and well here, so these Voids couldn't be very strong, otherwise he would have been eaten long ago.

"Lu Li, belongs to the fifth squad."

Lu Li raised his hand, signaling Ulquiorra, Nel and the others not to act rashly, and he negotiated with the Grim Reaper in front of him.

Looking at the features of the appearance, he immediately recognized the god of death in front of him. It was clearly the captain Kaname Tōsen a hundred years later. He should still be a chief officer now, but after being trained by Aizen, Tōsen Kaname also learned to hide his strength and act like a villain. His real strength at this time is already very good, so he dared to move around in Hueco Mundo.

"Lu Li? The Fifth Division? I don't remember the names of the seventh and eighth seats in the Fifth Division. Who are you?"

Dong Xianyao frowned and took a fighting stance, somewhat alert.

He did not forget that the Shinigami who were pulled into Hueco Mundo disappeared in a very strange way. Moreover, he had searched Hueco Mundo for two days and only sensed the spiritual pressure of this one Shinigami. He analyzed that those Shinigami should have all been destroyed.

When he sensed the spiritual pressure of the Shinigami, he thought it might be the two chief officers of the 5th Division. After all, it was too difficult for ordinary Shinigami to survive in Hueco Mundo. However, the name reported by the Shinigami in front of him was wrong.

"Mr. Lu, do you want me to kill him?"

At this time, Ulquiorra spoke, which made Tosen more alert.

Just as he was about to release his power and decided to kill these Hollows first and then interrogate Lu Li about what was going on, a dark and deep spiritual pressure descended like rain and pressed down on him.

Even though he had already become a vice-captain under the training of Lord Aizen, he still felt tremendous pressure at this moment, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

How is this possible!? This is actually a powerful Achucas, no, could it be Vastod!?

Although blind, Tosen has a strong sense and can sense the appearance of others through spiritual pressure. At this moment, his mentality changed and when he looked at these Hollows with his mind's eye, he sensed a terrifying possibility.

Those are the two Voids following Lu Li. They are not big in size, but they both have human-like appearance!
Could this be... two Vastrod-class Hollows?

But why didn't these two great voids attack the death god named Lu Li? They even seemed to obey his orders?

For a moment, Dongxian's nervous brain was a little out of order, and his body just stepped back stiffly, "Chirp! Clear the insects!"

Seeing that Tosen was about to get sweaty from being frightened, Lu Li looked at Ulquiorra, "Ulquiorra, hold back your spiritual pressure, you're frightening the child."

Tosen was determined to die, regretting that he could not repay the kindness of Lord Aizen. He was about to fight with Lu Li and others, but suddenly he heard these words and was stunned.

He thought to himself, could it be that he had run into some old demon god of death who lived in seclusion in Soul Society? No, even a third-rate storybook in Rukongai wouldn't dare to write such a plot!

"I've been in exile in Hueco Mundo for a while, so it's normal that you don't know me. By the way, do you know Aizen Sosuke? He was my roommate when I was in the Spiritual Arts Academy. He can confirm my identity as a Death God."

Lu Li asked knowingly.

"You know the Vice Captain Aizen?"

Under the continuous tension and high pressure, Tosen almost called the wrong name. At the same time, he was also surprised that the person in front of him actually knew Lord Aizen. If the other party was not lying, he had been roommates with Lord Aizen?

Wait, he remembered, decades ago, Lord Aizen seemed to have mentioned 'Lu Jun', and a few years ago he went to Hueco Mundo to do research and investigation, it seemed that he had looked for him, but to no avail, and he never mentioned it again after that.

Could the person in front of me be the 'Lu Jun' that Lord Aizen once talked about?

According to this, he has been in exile in Hueco Mundo for 70 years! ? Back then, he should have been a new Shinigami, right? It's hard to say whether he has the strength of a chief officer. How could such a person survive in Hueco Mundo?

To be honest, he used to be very jealous of the 'Lu Jun' mentioned by Lord Aizen, because he felt that Lu Jun was a dead man. He had disappeared for so many years, but Lord Aizen still missed him. What a 'favor' this was.

Even though he is so loyal and capable, Lord Aizen never seems to be very open with him.

But now seeing the person in front of him, he suddenly understood why Lord Aizen was obsessed with 'Lu Jun'.

Because Lu Li was also a genius beyond his imagination. He entered the Hueco Mundo with a weak body, lived in exile for seventy years without dying, and even subdued a great Hollow who might be at the level of Vastold as his subordinate!

Among all the 'young' Shinigami he had ever seen, no one except Lord Aizen could do this!

"Oh, Sosuke has become the vice-captain. Does that mean I will have to work under him when I return?"

Lu Li touched his chin and smiled again, "It seems not bad."
