Watching the lizard Giant Hollow fall, Chōjirō Sasakibe prepared to deliver the finishing blow.
Suddenly, Yamabuki asked: "Is it dead?"
Feng Yuan replied: "It's not dead; it has some resistance to toxins, only causing a fainting effect.
If we don't kill it quickly, it will be troublesome once it wakes up."
Yamabuki had a bold idea: "Don't kill it yet.
Don't you feel like our squad is missing something?"
Chōjirō Sasakibe and Feng Yuan were both stunned. What was missing?
"It's transportation! Are you really planning to cross the entire Hueco Mundo on foot? That's too unrealistic, isn't it?" Yamabuki laughed, "Don't you think this big lizard is perfect for our transportation?"
Is it too dangerous to use a Hollow as transportation? After all, this Giant Hollow was subdued by the two of them working together.
Yamabuki walked over and kicked the Lizard Giant Hollow hard. The Lizard Giant Hollow had already fainted, but Yamabuki's kick woke it up.
The Lizard Giant Hollow's instinctive reaction upon waking was to open its huge mouth and bite at Yamabuki. As a result, Yamabuki slapped it away, and its massive body spun more than ten times in mid-air before falling onto the desert. Chōjirō Sasakibe's mouth dropped open; the Hollow he and Feng Yuan had worked so hard to subdue was actually slapped away by Brother Yamabuki. This was too terrifying!
Most Hollows have no intelligence and act according to biological instinct: fight if you can win, run if you can't, and eat when hungry.
Seeing that it couldn't defeat Yamabuki, the Lizard Giant Hollow turned and ran, but Yamabuki grabbed its tail tightly. "You little punk, I can't beat the Captains, but I can't beat you either?"
After a good beating, the Lizard Giant Hollow was quickly tamed by Yamabuki.
Yamabuki sat on top of the Lizard Giant Hollow's head with his two subordinates, looking at the surrounding scenery. It was truly leisurely.
Then he punched the Lizard Giant Hollow's left side, and the Lizard Giant Hollow cooperated by walking to the left. He punched the right side, and the Lizard Giant Hollow walked to the right.
Two punches in the middle meant stop, one punch meant forward, and continuous punches meant run faster!
"It's decided, your name is Lizard Maru. From now on, whenever I come to Hueco Mundo, you have to be ready at my beck and call, understand?" Yamabuki sat cross-legged like a wealthy landlord, pointing at the landscape.
Lizard Maru wanted to cry but had no tears. My leisurely life just "poof" disappeared? If only I hadn't been so greedy for that bite!
However, Lizard Maru's speed was extremely fast, leaving everyone in the dust. Chōjirō Sasakibe felt like he wasn't here to conquer Hueco Mundo, but rather to travel. This was too comfortable! Indeed, following Brother Yamabuki was always the right choice.
"But, we've been running for so long, why haven't we seen any stronger guys! Going back like this would be too boring!" Yamabuki, oblivious to danger, was practically setting himself up for trouble.
Chōjirō Sasakibe said excitedly, "Brother Yamabuki, I didn't expect Hueco Mundo to be as terrifying as the legends say!"
"No, it's not that Hueco Mundo isn't dangerous, it's that I'm too strong. Perhaps the Hollows nearby detected my powerful reishi and fled in a panic." Yamabuki had a very high opinion of himself.
Suddenly, Lizard Maru abruptly stopped at the foot of a hill, almost throwing the three people on its head off!
Yamabuki angrily punched Lizard Maru's head hard: "I didn't tell you to stop, so why did you stop? Are you asking for a beating?"
Lizard Maru looked at Yamabuki pitifully, indicating that it wasn't its fault. "Look at what's happening ahead!"
Yamabuki used Shunpo to reach the top of the sand dune and looked down, immediately gasping. Below, two groups of strangely shaped Hollows were confronting each other, each group numbering over a thousand.
Yamabuki quickly pulled his head back. These Hollows all emitted very powerful reishi. The weakest among them were Giant Hollows, and there were many Menos Grande, with even a few Adjuchas mixed in.
Yamabuki finally understood why he hadn't seen any Hollows for so long. All the powerful Hollows in the vicinity were gathered here.
Chōjirō Sasakibe also cautiously leaned over: "Brother Yamabuki, why are there so many Hollows down there? What are they doing?"
Yamabuki whispered, "They're probably playing landlord, right?"
"Playing landlord?"
"Or maybe mahjong! There's no way they're gathered here for a meeting." Yamabuki said in a low voice, "Don't disturb them, let's carefully retreat."
Even if Yamabuki was hailed as the strongest Vice Captain in history, he couldn't face so many Hollows at once, especially with so many Adjuchas.
He wouldn't need many; just two Adjuchas would be enough to give him a hard time.
But before Yamabuki could retreat, these two groups of Hollows suddenly began to fight. The Hollows on both sides charged forward like mad, the front ranks directly shattering into pieces, their flesh and blood trampled by their comrades charging from behind. Then came the great clash of Hollows.
Lower-level Hollows fought with claws and teeth, while higher-level Hollows directly unleashed Ceros. There were Ceros of all colors, like a rave party.
However, at this rave, lives were at stake.
"Brother Yamabuki, why are they fighting?" Chōjirō Sasakibe asked like a curious child.
"How should I know? Run!" Yamabuki grabbed Chōjirō Sasakibe and returned to Lizard Maru's head, preparing to have Lizard Maru take them away.
Just then, a stray Cero landed on the sand dune, blowing the entire dune away and raising a cloud of smoke and dust.
"Hmm? Why are there people over there? Are they your ambush?" A talking Adjuchas questioned.
"Are your eyes blind? Those are clearly humans, how could they be our ambush?" The opposing Adjuchas shouted.
"Why are humans appearing here?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
"Everyone stop fighting, outsiders have infiltrated! Let's kill these humans first, then we can continue."
Instantly, the remaining thousand elite Hollows simultaneously focused their gaze on Yamabuki.
Even though Yamabuki was skilled and courageous, he was completely unnerved at this moment and could only force out a very strained smile: "Hello everyone! We're just passing by, we don't know anything, see you later. Let's go, let's go!"
Yamabuki fiercely punched Lizard Maru twice.
Suddenly, a Giant Hollow shouted, "He's not a human! Look at the Zanpakutō in his hand, that's a Shinigami, our sworn enemy! He's here to kill us!"
"Brother, will you die if you don't say anything?"
Yamabuki wished he could rush over and kill it right now.
"Shinigami!" The several Adjuchas present all cast unfriendly gazes: "I heard Shinigami are a great tonic. Nobody fight me for them, these three Shinigami are mine!"
"You wish! Let's fight for them, charge!!!"
Instantly, over a thousand Hollows surged forward like a tide.
