This guy, has he been playing me all this time?
He secretly became more alert in his heart, but on the surface, Gu Shi pretended to be unaware of anything and let out bursts of laughter.
"Haha, is that what you think? I thought that as long as I ate humans, you could arrest me with legitimate reasons and put me in the laboratory for research."
Although the Death Girl had never heard of the term "laboratory", it was not difficult for her to guess the meaning of the word from the literal meaning and Gu Shi's context. She easily understood what Gu Shi meant and was secretly happy.
The fact that he could casually talk about things that she didn't even know further proved that Gu Shi's memory before he became virtual was well preserved, which was consistent with her guess. The desire of the Death Girl to get Gu Shi became even stronger.
However, although she was happy in her heart, as a noble, she had been playing nice with peers and elders from other families every day when she was young, which had honed her acting skills to the peak. Even if she went crazy secretly on weekdays, in the eyes of other nobles, she was still a standard sickly young lady, a harmless Yamato Nadeshiko.
Communicating with others while wearing a mask has long become an instinct ingrained in our bones.
Therefore, although the desire in her heart was extremely strong, on the face of the Death Girl, all that could be seen was seriousness and worry. She clamped her hands together, holding Gu Shi's big head tightly, staring into Gu Shi's eyes, appearing extremely serious.
"Of course I won't hurt you, but, big guy, other Death Gods won't be as easy to talk to as I am. If you can't become stronger soon, and you meet a Death God who is willing to capture you, I can still find a way to get your family to save you.
"But what if you meet an idiot who can't see your specialness? You know, most of the reapers are idiots who only have muscles but no brains. Those idiots will definitely kill you without any hesitation, and then you will be really finished."
The Death Girl acted very seriously, and Gu Shi was no worse than her. Although he might have some disadvantages in acting, as a Hollow, his face was completely covered by the bone mask, and his expression could not be seen at all. In terms of acting, this was a natural advantage. As long as the voice and eyes were in place, it didn't matter if the expression management was a little worse.
"This... well, what you said makes sense, thank you for thinking about me so much. However, I still don't want to eat people. Anyway, eating void can also accumulate spiritual power, so I'd better go find the void."
He shook his head vigorously and broke free from the hands of the Death Girl. Gu Shi looked around, found a direction without any trace of human activity, and immediately took action.
"Let's go! Jilang, follow me quickly, let's see who can find Xu's whereabouts first!"
The Death Girl who was thrown on the spot narrowed her eyes, and subconsciously placed her right hand on the Zanpakutō at her waist, but then immediately let go. An extremely incongruous cheerful smile appeared on her face as pale as a corpse. She instantly caught up with Gu Shi and tapped him lightly on the head with a reproachful look.
"Really, big guy, you only know how to play these little tricks. Don't worry, although I still don't agree with your idea of not eating people, I don't want to force you to do something unpleasant. Let's go hunt for Xu. After all, the spiritual energy content in the body of Xu is higher. Eating one will yield more than eating several people."
Having said that, the Death Girl once again sat on Gu Shi's shoulder naturally. Perhaps to fully demonstrate her closeness to Gu Shi, she also turned sideways and leaned on Gu Shi's big head which was covered with bone armor and did not feel comfortable at all.
Gu Shi glanced at this combination of a madman and a liar, and said nothing more. He continued to run casually. He did not intend to run slowly to make the other party more comfortable, nor did he deliberately bump his head to torment her with the bone armor on his head.
There is no point in doing small moves now except to make the other party feel a little uncomfortable. It is better to use gentle performance to slowly eliminate the other party's vigilance, and then wait until the strength is enough to bite off this guy's head in one bite.
Feeling that Gu Shi's running pace had not changed, the Death Girl was a little surprised.
When the big guy ran away before, he clearly greeted the dog but deliberately ignored her. She thought that the big guy still had hostility towards her, so when she decided to lean on the big head, she was already prepared to be tossed around.
As long as the big guy dared to toss and turn her on purpose, she would immediately punish him, using force to help him recognize who was the dominant one between the two of them, and warn him not to act recklessly by relying on her favor.
Unexpectedly, although the experience was still much worse than the well-trained mount at home, this big guy did not target her specifically.
It seems that what I said before is still very effective.
Nodding with satisfaction in her heart, the Death Girl continued to sit steadily on Gu Shi's shoulder, leaning her uncomfortable big head against the tree, looking at the lush mountains and forests in the distance. Her eyes gradually became empty and she began to think about Lie Xu's matter.
The spiritual energy content of the Void's body is higher than that of humans, and the benefits of hunting are more considerable. She is of course aware of this, but in the real world, Voids generally act alone, and it is difficult to find large-scale groups of Voids.
After all, Xu not only eats humans, but also eats other Xu. If several Xu get together, within a few days, they will probably become a stronger Xu.
Therefore, if you want to find a Xu in the real world, you are lucky if you can encounter one within a few days.
In comparison, people are much easier to find. You can easily harvest hundreds or even thousands of souls in any village or small town.
As long as she followed the patrol map distributed by Soul Society when she was stationed in the human world, and swept through each village one by one, it wouldn't take long for her to build up the strength of the giant spirits.
What's more, the disadvantage of looking for a Void is not only a waste of time. If you are unlucky, you might encounter danger and it is possible that you will run into a strong Void head-on.
At that time, she would probably have to go into battle personally to cover the big guy's escape, risking getting injured to prevent him from being eaten by other virtual beings.
[It's a pity. If the big guy wasn't so valuable and I had to completely cut off the possibility of my family getting the information, I wouldn't have to kill the guards so early. If I encountered danger, I could throw the guards out to cover my retreat.]
Chapter 18 I want to open a zoo!
"Wow, wang wang!"
Erlang's barking could be heard from afar, and then a violent howl sounded from the other side of the hill. Gu Shi and the Death Girl's expressions changed, and they all became alert.
Xu's howl is so distinctive, that hollow sound that seems to have its own reverberation. Once you hear it, you will never mistake it the next time you hear it.
As expected, after the howling, a spiritual pressure filled with chaos and mania also rose up. Gu Shi didn't think twice and immediately rushed towards the direction where the spiritual pressure came from.
The virtual creature was obviously discovered by Erlang. If he didn't hurry over, Erlang would probably be eaten.
The Shinigami girl, who was still sitting on Gu Shi's shoulder, relaxed again after feeling the spiritual pressure. She could easily deal with a Hollow of this strength even without her Zanpakutō, so there was no need to be nervous at all.
Soon, after just a few breaths, Gu Shi had rushed over the hill and saw the howling Xu.
I have to say that Xu is indeed a very magical life form. Although all Xu are transformed from humans, almost no Xu looks like a human. They are all various kinds of birds and beasts.
Xu, who appeared in front of Gu Shi at this time, was no exception.
It stands on all fours with a high raised back, and its entire body is covered with a huge piece of white bone armor. Although its head looks like a hairy turtle head, its forehead is also covered with a small piece of armor. There are also more than a dozen sharp spikes on the small tail dragging behind it.
Seeing the dignity of this virtual creature, Gu Shi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then he quickly continued to sprint and pulled back Erlang who had been knocked down by the spiritual pressure. After making sure that Erlang was not injured, he finally spit out the complaints that had been in his heart.
"What the hell? Is this a glyptodon? Will I meet a Tyrannosaurus Rex next time?"
It's no wonder that Gu Shi couldn't help but complain, because the appearance of this Xu, except for the pure white color of its bone armor and the mask on its face that all Xu have, it looks very much like the long-extinct ancient mammal "Glyptodon".
Although the armadillo has a carapace on its back, the carapace is segmented and there are no spikes on its tail. This one-piece carapace and spiky tail clearly belong to a glyptodon.
But the problem is, not only has the glyptodon been extinct for nearly 10,000 years, but the place where it lived before its extinction was South America. Why would the transformed Asians turn into the appearance of the glyptodon?
"Glyptodon? What is that? Isn't it a turtle?"
The Death Girl also heard Gu Shi's complaints, looked at the virtual one, and raised her eyebrows in confusion.
"What nonsense! It looks like a turtle, but have you ever seen a turtle with a shell on its head and thorns on its tail? This is clearly a glyptodon!"
Gu Shi casually refuted the Death Girl, but his mood unconsciously became high.
Although the reason is still unknown, if the form that a person takes after becoming a hollow also includes extinct life, can he expect to encounter the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Smilodon, Megalodon, and Purusaurus in the future?
By the way, it would be even better if we could see the Dunkleosteus!
What to do? I suddenly want to open a zoo in Hueco Mundo!
The Death Girl totally couldn't understand Gu Shi's excitement. She glanced strangely at Gu Shi, who was so excited that his breathing was heavy. Then she stood up and lightly retreated to the side with a flash step. As she left, she grabbed Erlang's neck and took the big black dog away with her.
The next second, the frenzied glyptodont rushed in front of Gu Shi. Its sharp claws left four huge wounds on his chest, and its bloody mouth bit straight into his neck.
Gu Shi dodged subconsciously, and although his neck luckily avoided the attack, a piece of flesh was bitten off from his right shoulder by the big mouth of the glyptodont.
The Death Girl, who was already sitting on a treetop nearby, then put away the binding technique in her hand and switched to the healing technique to help Gu Shi stop the bleeding from the wound.
“Big guy, you can still retain your memories of your previous life after you have become a virtual being, which is a good thing. However, this also means that your behavior patterns still retain a lot of habits from your past as a human, such as walking upright.
"In a close combat without using weapons to extend the attack distance, standing up straight and exposing your vulnerable chest and abdomen is actually an extremely dangerous behavior. If that claw had gone down a little bit, your intestines would have definitely flowed out by now.
"Also, you suppressed your cannibalistic impulses and prevented your reason from being affected by the hollow's instincts. I'm afraid that you also suppressed the hollow's innate fighting instincts.
"This is why, after other people become hollow, they immediately have impressive combat capabilities. Although they cannot be said to have combat skills, at least they know how to fight under the guidance of instinct. But you, you probably didn't experience many battles in your life, right? Without the combat instinct of a hollow, do you know how to kill your opponent?"
While Gu Shi was dodging the crazy attacks of the Glyptodont Void in a panic, he was listening to the long speech of the Death Girl and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Let alone combat experience, his only fighting experience was the memory of fighting with other children before two years of elementary school.
Ever since he broke the neighbor's kid's head in the second grade of elementary school, whenever he got into a fight with others, no matter who started it first, his father would beat him up severely. In less than a year, his father helped him completely quit his fighting addiction. After that, from the third grade of elementary school to graduation from college, the number of fights he had fought was not enough to cover the space of five fingers.
As he was smiling bitterly in his heart, Gu Shi felt a pain in his left arm, and the glyptodont beast scratched him, leaving four bloody wounds.
[Tsk, if this continues, I will probably be hunted by the Void first, let alone hunting the Void.]
After seeing that the Death Girl pointed out his problem, she stopped talking. Gu Shi knew what she was waiting for. He hesitated for a moment, and after the Glyptodont roared again, he shouted decisively.
"I really don't know how to fight! Please help me! Teach me the fighting techniques!"
While shouting, Gu Shi did not forget to quietly comfort himself in his heart, [It is not shameful to ask the enemy for help. It will definitely be interesting to kill the enemy using the fighting skills taught by the enemy! ]
The Death Girl sitting on the treetop nodded with satisfaction, rubbed Jilang's furry head hard, and then raised her voice with a smile on her face.
"You asked me to teach you combat skills instead of asking me to help you kill that Hollow. At least you have passed the battle willingness test! Now! Get down quickly! I told you that your chest and abdomen are your weak points, why are you still standing there like an idiot!?"
"Teacher! I'm not used to moving on four legs. I'm afraid that if I lie down, I'll trip over my front legs and expose my flaws!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Just lie down when I tell you to. I will tell you how to move next!"
"Understood! Teacher, I'm lying down!"
"Don't lift your head so high when you're lying down. Are you stretching your neck to wait for your opponent to gnaw at your throat? Lower your head!"
"Report to the teacher! After lying down, the field of vision becomes very low! The range that can be seen has also become much smaller! I feel anxious if I don't look up!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Get used to this view. With me here to heal you, how can you still die? Why are you panicking? Go ahead and bite his belly! This turtle's carapace is so thick, there's no other weak spot except the belly!"
"Yes, sir! But teacher, he's not a turtle! He's a glyptodon!"
"Okay, okay, okay! It's a glyptodon! Bite him now!"
Chapter 19 From today on, I am the funny character
"Ha, ha, ha, I'm so tired, but this feeling is really refreshing. I feel like I'm going to get addicted!"
Gu Shi had no image at all, lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, with the torn body of the Glyptodon lying beside him, but he couldn't help but let out intermittent laughter.
Although the battle was difficult and he would have nearly died at the hands of his opponent many times if it had not been for the treatment provided by the Death Girl, it must be said that this kind of close combat at close range can really stimulate the primitive instinct for violence.
The experience of being able to clearly feel the opponent's roar and the hot air hitting your body when breathing is more fascinating than the most exciting roller coaster. The strong sense of being "alive" made Gu Shi unable to help but start to savor it in his heart as soon as the battle ended, and secretly look forward to the arrival of the next battle.
The Grim Reaper Girl sat on the treetop, looking at Gu Shi, who was covered in injuries despite her guidance, with a hint of disgust on her face.
"Is it satisfying? Big guy, let me remind you that the instincts of the Hollows are not just cannibalism. The endless pursuit of violence is also one of them."
Gu Shi was shocked when he heard this, and quickly checked his mental state, making sure that his enjoyment of the battle was indeed from his heart, and not influenced by Xu's instinct. Only then did he feel relieved and relaxed, enjoying this brief tranquility.
After a while, without anyone urging him, Gu Shi felt that his strength had almost recovered, so he sat up on his own initiative, grabbed a thigh of the glyptodont next to him, hesitated for a moment, and then stuffed it directly into his mouth.
Although he thought it would be better to roast it over fire and cook it before eating, Gu Shi knew in his heart that his refusal to eat humans had already greatly slowed down his growth. If he were to follow a lot of rules when eating humans, he would be underestimating this dangerous world.
According to the plan that Gu Shi made for himself, he would definitely go to the Hueco Mundo in the future. Only there would there be enough Hollows for him to devour and become stronger.
The dangerous environment of Hueco Mundo, where Hollows are everywhere, may be a back garden for the powerful Arrancar in the comics, where he can stroll around for days without seeing an opponent who can pose a threat. But for a weak Hollow of his strength, there are countless opponents who are equally powerful or even stronger than him. The end of one battle may mean the beginning of another one immediately.
After a fight, getting enough rest time is a luxury. You have to devour your prey as quickly as possible and quickly replenish your spiritual power to recover, so as to avoid being exhausted and hunted by your opponent in the next battle. There is no time for barbecue.
Therefore, before going to Hueco Mundo, you must fully adapt to the eating habits of the low-level Hollows. For example, eat your prey as quickly as possible, or go a step further and look for opportunities to gnaw on your opponent's body while fighting, so that you can finish most of your meal by the end of the battle, thus shortening the post-war recuperation time to a minimum.
After finding a lot of reasons to convince himself, Gu Shi chewed the thigh of the carved-toothed beast into pieces and swallowed the "flesh, blood and broken bones" full of spiritual power into his stomach.
It has to be said that during the battle, although Gu Shi was limited by his body structure and could only use claws and teeth as weapons, and he bit his opponents a lot, the process of eating after the battle was quite different from the feeling of biting during the battle.
Gu Shi tried his best to ignore the gap caused by psychological factors and forced himself to eat faster.
