Chapter 303 Antelope Knight

Under the gray full moon, the wind and sand rolled gently on the ground, brushing over the corpses on the battlefield.

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

"How is it, is there any improvement?"

Lu Li asked Ulquiorra. It had been two days since the two of them went together.

After a period of getting along, Lu Li found that although Ulquiorra seemed a little dull during this period, he could not find the meaning of his existence in the void. In short, he was not stupid, but very smart.

In some things, Lu Li found that Ulquiorra thought more carefully than himself. No wonder Aizen trusted Ulquiorra so much two hundred years later in the original work and handed over all the affairs of the Hollow Palace to him.

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

Just as he observed Ulquiorra, Ulquiorra also observed him, and each of them got what they needed.

After Ulquiorra finished swallowing the Achukas-class Hollow in front of him, he replied without emotion: "Very small, almost imperceptible."

"It's too weak for you, it's okay, as we get closer to the central area, we should encounter many powerful guys."

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

The evolutionary path of Achukas is to retreat if you don't advance. Once you stop swallowing, you can't maintain your current strength. Not only that, it is possible that in the continuous decline, you will eventually become a Gillian-class Hollow, and it will never be possible to awaken self-awareness.

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

The law of the jungle in Hueco Mundo is more straightforward than in the human world. The fear of degeneration forces the big hollows to fight. Those Achukas who are more "motivated" and confident in their own strength will move closer to the central area of ​​Hueco Mundo to find stronger opponents to fight.

Analyzing from the hunting situation 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 killed before.

But in fact, he found that the Yak and Orochi Hollows before were already strong Achukas. After killing most Achukas in Hueco Mundo, there were only End Coins, and no inheritance crystals would explode.

"Mr. Lu, I don't recommend going deeper."

Ulquiorra expressed his opinion. He just didn't understand what a magical thing like the heart was. It didn't mean that he didn't have basic logical thinking ability. On the contrary, it was precisely because he didn't have a heart that he could make the most calm logical analysis and judgment most of the time.

"Oh? Why?"

Lu Li had not yet triggered the hunting radar of the pioneers, and through the several Chaos Space explorers he had seen yesterday, he thought that the violators should also move closer to the central area.

Because he found that the explorers of Chaos Space entered this world as Hollows, it was also the first time he knew that the mainstream in the major spaces was not all human, but there were other races.

The main race in Chaos Space is a kind of green-skinned humanoid creature, and according to the differences in individuals, there will be some guys who look very unique in Lu Li's eyes.

Because they look not human at first glance, they can't be classified into the camp of Death God or Human, so they can only be put into the Hollow Mundo by the space to gain a foothold in the Hollow camp.

The major spaces must be fair. In the world of Death God, it is not a good thing to be naturally locked in the Hollow camp, because the power of the Hollow Mundo is the weakest. The explorers of Chaos Space are put here, and there must be some advantages that are different from the explorers of the Death God and the Quincy camp.

After Lu Li's friendly negotiation yesterday, he knew what kind of benefits the explorers of the Chaos Space of Hueco Mundo could get here. Interestingly, it was similar to his side quest.

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

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

Of course, Lu Li felt that his task was not bad, but there were too few Achucas that could explode inheritance crystals.

Through the analysis of the enemy explorers' tasks, Lu Li believed that the violators would definitely not leave Hueco Mundo, and would find ways to gain a foothold in Hueco Mundo and strive for more benefits.

Based on his understanding of the violators, the violators were all lawless people. Since it was his turn as a pioneer to take action, it meant that the violator had killed many judges. Not to mention that he didn't know the information of the hunter yet, even if the violator knew it, he would not be afraid.

In this case, as a 'hollow', the offender would certainly try to use methods that ordinary people would not think of to blast the side quests and try to dominate the Hueco Mundo.

At least Lu Li thought that if he were the offender, he would definitely think so.

After a simple analysis, Lu Li thought that if he wanted to find the offender, it would be right to go close to the Hueco Mundo, where the strong would gather.

At this time, after Ulquiorra finished devouring it, the Great Hollow beneath his feet turned into dust. He calmly spoke: "There is Xuye Palace in the central area of ​​Hueco Mundo. It is the seat of the King of Hueco Mundo, and I heard that It’s not peaceful over there lately.”

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

Lu Li was not surprised by Ulquiorra's knowledge of Hueco Mundo. After all, the other party had been wandering here for many years and there was always a way to obtain information.

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

Ulquiorra said in a calm voice.

Lu Li put one hand on his forehead, "This is my negligence."

He really didn't explain too much to Ulquiorra, mainly because Xiaowu had a lot of questions these two days, and he often discussed philosophy with him, which made him very confused.

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

Lu Li asked the question he was concerned about. Soyousuke has not yet ruled Hueco Mundo. The Xues here are all natural and pollution-free.

He was curious, how strong would the pure natural Vastod in this situation be?

"I haven't seen it, and I don't care about it."

Ulquiorra said, "But I am certain that the King of Hueco Mundo is a Vastod-level Great Hollow."

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

"I learned this from my fights with other Hollows. It may not be accurate, but they said that the Army of Hollow Night Palace was cleaning up the surrounding area, and many Achiukas were killed."

Ulquiorra walked to Lu Li and stood next to him, "I think it is unwise to go to that chaotic place now."

"Weren't you indifferent to life or death before? Were you also worried about danger?"

Lu Li asked curiously.

"I just don't know the meaning of living. It doesn't mean that I want to die. The instinct of living things should be to live, right? Besides, I have to evolve to the Vastod level to get a heart."

Xiaowu's white mask revealed only a pair of eyes, looking at Lu Li calmly.

Lu Li felt very strange, as if he was talking to a robot, unable to understand the emotions in the conversation, and this artificial intelligence was always trying to figure out what the heart was.

"Well, what you said makes sense. Normal thinking as a creature is to avoid danger and move in a direction that is more conducive to its own survival."

Lu Li dusted himself off as he stood up, "But, I still want to go to the central area."

"Why?"

Ulquiorra said the three words he said most these days.

Lu Li smiled and patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder, "Because this is the fun. Just hunting for trash fish around and repeating boring things is so boring. Wasn't it the same with you before? You were so boring that you didn't even bother to use your true strength. Hunted."

"interesting……"

Ulquiorra savored the brief summary words that Lu Li often used, "Even if the front is very dangerous and you may encounter invincible enemies, Mr. Lu will still want to move forward. This does not conform to my understanding of survival. This... is Is it your heart that makes the judgment?”

"It can also be said that if I just retreat easily because I feel there is danger and lose the courage to challenge the strong, then I will feel that my life is too boring. Only fish that dare to swim upstream can transform into a dragon. Maybe."

Lu Li explained, and as he spoke, he stepped forward.

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

Of course, he would not seek death and enter Xuye Palace, and after experiencing so many worlds, he is not such a foolhardy person.

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

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

According to the contract, that group of people will travel from the broken world to the present world through the black cavity that Ulquiorra helped open, and help him deliver a certain message to the Shinigami of Division 5.

His starting position is isolated and difficult to rely on, and he may be at a disadvantage compared to the violators or soul singers in the chaotic space, but he also has people in this world.

If there's a real group fight, who wouldn't know how to shake people off?

"Are they fish swimming upstream...are those Daxu who go to the central area to fight, also fish?"

Xiao Wu followed Lu Li, seeming to be talking to himself or asking questions.

He suddenly discovered that not only could he not understand the behavior of the humans in front of him, but he could not even understand the behavior of similar Daxu.

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

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

"Everyone in this world is a fish in the river. Some fish drift with the current and are at ease, while others swim upstream and fight endlessly."

Lu Li said with emotion.

"Mr. Lu, what kind of fish are you? A fish that fights against the current?"

Ulquiorra asked curiously.

However, to his surprise, Lu Li shook his head and said with a smile, "No, if I had to say... I should be the fish that wants to jump out."

"So, do you have to be a fish swimming upstream or a fish jumping out, so that your 'heart' will not feel bored? Is this the meaning of self-realization for you people with a heart?"

Ulquiorra kept thinking.

"No, you misunderstood."

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

"Happy..."

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

"I'm not asking you to feel it with your hands, nor am I asking you to understand it with your heart."

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

While the two were talking, the sand dunes in front of them exploded with sand and dust. It was obvious that there were creatures fighting.

Lu Li and Ulquiorra both focused their attention on the direction of the spiritual pressure explosion and ended this daily chat.

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

In the sand waterfall, a nimble figure rushed out of the sand with a Hollow in his left hand.

The incident happened suddenly, but Lu Li's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan still saw the figure clearly. The upper body was a girl with curvy 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 backwards and threw the Hollow following her to a safe area. Her eyes were fixed on the enemy behind the sand dunes, "Why are you attacking us? We have no intention of being your enemy!"

Her tone was full of confusion and puzzlement. She gathered a knight's spear with her spiritual pressure in her hand to block the opponent's attack.

Swish, swish, swish——

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

The leading Achukas held a weapon like a broadsword and collided with the antelope knight's spear. During the confrontation, he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has ordered to expel all the great Hollows wandering in this area. If you don't want to leave your habitat, you can also choose to submit to Your Majesty."

"We have never had a conflict with the Xuye Palace, and we have no intention of 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 surrounding Achukas had already surrounded her, with more than 20 people, which made the powerful antelope knight frown slightly.

She was not worried about her own safety. With her strength, these Achukas could not keep her, but she had to worry about whether her companions would be injured in the battle.

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

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

"Heh, His Majesty said that if he sees a powerful Hollow, he will recruit it into the Hollow Night Palace. Today you either surrender or die here."

Yachukas, holding a broadsword, burst out with spiritual pressure, further threatening.
