Dende silently shook his head in his heart; he knew Frieza wouldn't keep his word.
But he couldn't come out to stop him now; otherwise, it would only lead to death!
The elder took out the hidden Dragon Balls, reluctantly but having no choice but to hand them over.
"Here are the Dragon Balls, leave quickly!"
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Frieza sneered.
"There's one more thing. Please tell me where the other two Dragon Balls are?"
The elder was furious upon hearing this.
"You actually want me to betray other villages? I can't do that!"
Frieza still wore a face full of cold laughter.
"You destroyed our scouter. We can't find other villages, so getting this Dragon Ball is useless! If I can't achieve my goal, naturally I won't let you live..."
"Don't even dream of it! According to the agreement, you should leave!"
Frieza showed a troubled expression.
"Heh heh heh~ You people on this planet are all the same, so stubbornly kind. Forget it, you adults and children will all have to die anyway..."
"What did you say?"
The Elder didn't expect that after Frieza got the Dragon Ball, he wouldn't keep his word!
"You despicable beast!"
Dende watched everything silently, Frieza's vileness was within his expectations.
"I can't die!"
Dende only had this thought in his mind!
Even if it followed the original storyline, he couldn't die! Otherwise, there would be no way to fight Frieza!
Without Dende, even if everyone gathered the Dragon Balls, they wouldn't be able to make a wish!
Frieza showed no anger at the insults, but instead revealed a cold smile.
His dictionary contained absolutely no words related to keeping promises!
"Kill them all!"
Dodoria received the order and immediately prepared to attack.
"Children, run!"
The Elder shouted and, at the risk of his own life, tried to hold Dodoria back!
"Let you all witness the power of the Namekians!"
Dende didn't know what to do and was about to run when he saw his companion had just run out, only to be immediately killed by Frieza.
"Kark!"
The Elder was stunned. Were all the children in the village really going to die here today?
Dende watched, helpless, as his companion died before his eyes. He hadn't even been able to see Frieza move.
Am I really going to die here?
Someone, please save me!
Despair washed over Dende, and he couldn't help but look towards the mountain, his only hope.
As he looked, Dende's eyes met Son Gohan's.
"Save me!"
Frieza had already attacked. Terrified, Dende disregarded everything and rushed towards Son Gohan.
Dodoria saw this and leaped into action, directly intercepting Dende.
"Heh heh, killing you is easier than crushing a bug!"
"If you beg me, I might let you die a little quicker!"
Dende felt death closing in as he looked at Dodoria's bumpy face.
"Stop!"
At the critical moment, Son Gohan shouted and jumped out, kicking Dodoria away.
Right behind Son Gohan, Krillin, the bald one, also jumped out.
"Gohan, you're such a fool!"
Krillin hadn't expected Gohan to expose himself to save the Namekian.
After all, with their strength, facing Frieza and the others was simply a death wish!
"Who... are you?"
Dodoria had lost his scouter and couldn't gauge the strength of the person in front of him, nor did he know where these two had come from!
"You bastard, I'm going to beat you to a pulp!"
The kind-hearted Son Gohan had never seen such a bad person before. He was so angry that smoke seemed to be coming out of his ears, and his power greatly increased in his fury.
"Big talk!"
As a henchman of Frieza's group, which possessed the strongest power in the universe, Dodoria had great confidence in his own strength.
However, before he could finish speaking, Krillin had already caught him off guard, flying up and kicking him again, sending him flying.
"Idiot, Gohan, run! If you don't run, you'll die!"
Krillin said as he picked up Dende and ran away!
Frieza couldn't figure out where the two came from, only that they didn't look like Namekians.
"Quickly, chase them, catch those guys!"
Frieza immediately ordered Dodoria.
First, the scouter was destroyed, and then Son Gohan messed things up. Dodoria felt that Frieza was already somewhat angry because he hadn't handled things well. Cold sweat poured down his face, and he hurriedly chased after them.
In mid-air, Krillin saw Gohan's panicked look, knowing that he was still just a child, and urged him,
"Fly with all your might! Otherwise, you're dead!"
Dende, held by Krillin in mid-air, clutched at Krillin's clothes, sighing with relief.
It looks like we're safe!
However, Dodoria behind them was far faster than Krillin, quickly closing the distance.
Krillin felt a sinking feeling.
"We're going to be caught!"
"We should fight him!"
Son Gohan said angrily.
He hadn't thought much when he attacked just now, and he still didn't care about the consequences.
"We're no match for them! We have to find a way to escape!"
"Here!"
Krillin decisively threw Dende towards Son Gohan.
"Gohan, close your eyes!"
Dende understood Krillin's actions immediately and quickly closed his eyes!
"Solar Flare!"
Even with his eyes already closed, Dende still felt a flash of intense light. Then came a feeling of weightlessness – Son Gohan was carrying him as they descended rapidly!
Seeing Krillin and Son Gohan hiding together, Dende quickly whispered a reminder:
"No, if he can't find us, he'll definitely destroy this entire area!"
"You're smart!" Krillin replied softly, "But I have a way!"
Dodoria was blinded by the Solar Flare and lost his target. Thinking about how he'd messed things up for the third time, he felt uneasy, not knowing how Frieza would punish him.
After circling around four or five times, Dodoria still couldn't find a single person.
"Damn it, you dare to trick me? Prepare to die!"
"Let's see where you hide!"
At the same time, Dodoria quickly flew higher, gathering power, and blasted down below!
"You were right!"
Krillin was immediately impressed by Dende. Luckily, Dende had anticipated this situation, and Krillin was prepared!
With the massive blast coming, Krillin took advantage of the chaos, quickly grabbing Son Gohan and Dende, and flying high into the sky, stopping far behind Dodoria.
"Hahaha~ Serves you right for looking for death! You won't even have ashes left now!"
Dodoria stroked his large, fat head, already thinking about how to report back to Frieza.
Seeing Dodoria fly away, Krillin finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had managed to survive with two children, it wasn't easy.
"Let's go back, can you fly?"
Dende tried to let go of his hand, only to discover that he could instinctively fly.
"Thank you for saving me!"
Dende thanked them repeatedly. The series of events had been too stimulating, and he had really almost died.
"You should thank Gohan. He was the one who rushed out to save you!"
Dende nodded, looking at Son Gohan with gratitude.
"By the way, are you injured?"
Dende knew that his own strength was too weak now. He had to find a way to improve his strength with the help of the system!
"Don't worry about it. It was nothing. We aren't hurt at all!"
Krillin obviously didn't know what Dende was thinking.
Hearing Krillin's words, Dende turned to look at Son Gohan again.
"The system seems to say that saving the dying is what gets me the reward! But I need to first get good at the skill of saving people!"
Seeing that neither of them were hurt, Dende knew he couldn't practice his healing skills right now.
The two of them took Dende and headed towards Bulma's base.
"We're safe for now, at least. Now I need to think about where I can find someone who's dying!"
Dende flew along, working hard to think.
On the other side, Dodoria was in a hurry to get back to report, thinking about how to find the other Dragon Balls, when he was suddenly kicked into a lake.
Struggling to climb onto the bank, Dodoria saw a person standing there.
"Dodoria, long time no see!"
"Vegeta?!"
