Arriving at Hueco Mundo, but there are no Hollows

After the three of them departed, Kinroku Izuhara said with some concern, "Captain, will it be okay for Yamabuki to take those two people to Hueco Mundo?"

Yamamoto said calmly, "Don't worry about this. Yamabuki has great potential. Didn't you notice that his spiritual pressure has increased a lot since he came back from the human world this time? I guess that was the potential that was discovered during the battle with Zenjōji. I threw him into the Hueco Mundo this time to better train him! After all, Soul Society is likely to experience a catastrophe soon!"

Several captains were silent. The captain had already told them about the Quincy. They didn't expect that the Shinigami would have a group of such enemies.

"Okay, let's go back!" Yamamoto turned around and walked back.

"Captain, where are you going?" Shihōin Chika asked curiously.

"Of course, I'll go back and have tea. Let me know when that kid Yamabuki comes back." Yamamoto left without looking back.

...

Yamabuki finally arrived at Hueco Mundo with his two useless younger brothers. He had only seen Hueco Mundo in anime before and knew that Hueco Mundo was very desolate, but he did not expect that Hueco Mundo would be so desolate. There was nothing to be seen except the white sand on the ground. Even the occasional tree had long been dead and had no moisture at all.

"The most important question now is, do you two have any food with you?" Yamabuki turned around and asked.

He thought there would be a lot of team members coming, but he didn't bring anything with him. Yuan-Feng took out his bag, which contained dry food, water, a hat to protect against wind and sand, various hidden weapons and poisons, and everything. He really deserves to be an assassin, and he considers things more carefully than ordinary people.

As long as there are supplies, it's good. Yamabuki looked around. There is no daytime in Hueco Mundo. There is a huge moon hanging in the sky. For some reason, it makes people feel a little scalp-tingling.

"Chief of Staff, which direction should we go?" Yuan-Feng asked in a low voice.

How do I know which direction to go? This is my first time in Hueco Mundo, and I can't tell east, west, south, or north. Forget it, just point to a random direction and go forward!

"Go over there." Yamabuki pointed in a random direction and said, Chojiro held his Zanpakuto nervously, fearing that a vicious Hollow would emerge from some corner. As a result, along the way, there was no Hollow, not even a grasshopper. It was a vast expanse of emptiness!

"Where the hell did the old man kick me to? Why can't I even see a single Hollow?" Yamabuki also began to doubt. There are no Hollows in the Hueco Mundo. Is this a joke?

Suddenly, Chojiro exclaimed, "Brother Yamabuki, what do you think this is?"

Yamabuki followed the sound and went over to take a look. It turned out to be a thumb-sized lizard-type Hollow with a white mask on its head, grinning at the three people.

"So cute! I didn't know there were Hollows like this in Hueco Mundo. I thought all Hollows were vicious and evil. Brother Yamabuki, can I catch one and bring it back to Hanako?" asked Chōjirō.

"What are you thinking? No matter how small it is, it is still a Hollow and will evolve. What if it hurts Hanako?" Yamabuki said, "Stop playing around. Either let it go or kill it!"

Chōjirō couldn't bear to kill such a cute little Hollow, so he could only let it burrow into the sand and leave.

"That's not right! Even if Hueco Mundo is desolate, we shouldn't have walked so far without seeing a single Hollow! What went wrong?" Yamabuki took the initiative to ignore the little guy who was not even as big as a human finger.

Yuan-Feng raised his hand and said, "Chief of Staff, I have a guess; I don't know if it's correct."

"Oh, explain!" Yamabuki looked at him and spoke,

"Large wild beasts often have their own territories and do not allow other beasts of the same kind to enter these territories. Do you think there is a powerful Hollow hidden in this area?" Yuan-Feng asked.

Yamabuki pondered for a moment. It was indeed possible, but the surroundings were endless, and he couldn't see any powerful Hollows!

But with my current strength, no one can be my opponent except Vasto Lorde, so we don't have to be afraid!

Chojiro exclaimed again, and Yamabuki asked without turning his head, "What's wrong? I told you not to take Hollow back to raise him..."

But the next second, Chōjirō 's scream had turned into a cry for help: "Help! There's something under the sand!"

Yamabuki hurriedly looked back and found that the yellow sand under his feet had actually formed a huge sand dune with a diameter of more than ten meters.

Oh no, what Yuan-Feng said was right. There really is a powerful Hollow in this area. The enemy's true identity has not been revealed yet, but Yamabuki has already felt the opponent's spiritual pressure. It is not strong, at most at the level of a giant Hollow. But for Chojiro and Yuan-Feng, this is indeed a challenge.

"Bang!"

A gigantic lizard rushed out from under the white sand, opened its bloody mouth, and bit the three people. The three people used shunpo at the same time to dodge the lizard's attack.

This giant lizard was over ten meters long and three meters tall, like a heavy truck. It had bloodshot eyes and wore a white mask. It approached the three people step by step.

"I thought it was something amazing, but it turns out to be this thing. I'll leave it to you two." Yamabuki put away his Zanpakutō. The strength of the two of them was considered upper-middle among the Gotei 13, so dealing with a giant hollow should not be a problem.

"Pierce, Gonryōmaru!"

"Poison, stinging wasp!"

Yamabuki saw for the first time that Yuan-Feng's Zanpakutō was released. The outer part changed from a blade into a two-foot-long scarlet cylindrical syringe, the tail end of which was wrapped around Yuan-Feng's arm.

The two launched an attack instantly. Although the giant hollow lizard was huge, in the world of death, size did not represent everything, and spiritual pressure was the most important.

For a moment, smoke and dust billowed in the desert. Chōjirō and Yuan-Feng flew up and down, attacking the giant hollow lizard while looking for an opportunity.

There was a flash of lightning on Gonryōmaru, and the sword pierced the leg of the giant lizard hollow. Yuan-Feng took the opportunity to get closer and attacked the injured part of the lizard giant hollow with his own Zanpakutō. In an instant, the scarlet venom was injected into the giant hollow's body, and the color of the sting wasp turned white.

Replenishing the venom requires the user's spiritual pressure to be consumed.

"You're worthy of being an assassin!" Yamabuki looked at Yuan-Feng with some surprise. The ability of this knife is too suitable for assassination. It can attack instantly and hit the target with one blow. Even if it fails to kill you at that time, the poison injected afterward can also take the life of the victim. Combined with his superb flash step, it is simply a perfect match.

Unlike someone whose Shikai requires two hits to kill someone but whose Bankai can directly carry a nuclear bomb to assassinate. Is that even called assassination?

Don't hide; I'm talking about you, Soifon.

Sure enough, after the venom was injected, the body of the lizard Hollow began to stagger like a drunk, and within a few minutes, it lay motionless on the ground!
