Conversely, Yoru Chikao in the New Territory remained completely unaware of everything that was happening in the Place of a Hundred Hollows' Mutual Devourment.
He was still tirelessly hunting a group of Freshman Hollows.
His spiritual pressure and size were steadily increasing.
A snake-shaped Hollow, about four meters long, was tightly constricting another pig-shaped Hollow with its body.
The snake-shaped Hollow's body twisted continuously, then suddenly exerted force and tightened.
"Crack!"
Following a muffled sound, the pig-shaped Hollow's bones immediately snapped, and it died instantly.
Just as the snake-shaped Hollow was about to feast on its prey, the sand layer below trembled, and a large white centipede's giant tail suddenly emerged from the ground behind the snake-shaped Hollow, with dark golden lightning patterns coiling around it.
"Boom!"
A fierce strike directly slammed the snake-shaped Hollow several meters deep into the sand.
"Hiss hiss!"
In pain, the snake-shaped Hollow let out a hiss and then struggled, trying to get up.
"Oh, to be just a mere Freshman Hollow and not immediately pass out after taking a tail whip from me, you can be proud!"
Yoru Chikao's upper body slowly emerged from the sand, looking at the resilient snake-shaped Hollow and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, but admiration aside, his attack did not stop.
Golden lightning arcs flickered on the segments of the centipede tail, directly pressing down on the snake-shaped Hollow again.
"Zzzzt!"
As a sharp electric current sound flashed, Yoru Chikao even smelled a hint of roasted meat.
Looking at the charred snake-shaped Hollow, Yoru Chikao shook his head helplessly.
"It seems the heat was a bit too much!"
However, he wasn't picky; he stuffed the entire snake-shaped Hollow into his mouth like eating spicy strips, puffing out his cheeks, but it returned to normal after a while.
After finishing the snake-shaped Hollow, Yoru Chikao looked at the pig-shaped Hollow's corpse lying nearby, rushed forward, and quickly devoured that pig-shaped Hollow as well.
"Long snake catches pig, Yoru Chikao follows behind!"
After completely digesting both Hollows, Yoru Chikao patted his belly contentedly.
Unknowingly, it had been two months since he came to this world.
He had now fully adapted to life in Hueco Mundo, though he occasionally missed the games, anime, and entertainment activities from his previous life, and of course, the ladies.
"This world also has a Human World; if I can become a high-level Menos Grande and then an Arrancar, I should still have a chance to return to human society."
Thinking of this, Yoru Chikao shook his head helplessly.
"What's the use of thinking so much? Without knowing the timeline, only becoming stronger is the truth!"
Yoru Chikao quickly adjusted his mindset, and just as he was about to search for other prey again, he suddenly noticed movement ahead.
"Something's happening up front?"
Yoru Chikao activated Concealing Presence, hiding his entire body under the shallow sand layer and moving quickly, approaching the source of the sound.
"Woof, woof woof!"
What met his eyes was a scarred Haruto being chased by something invisible.
Haruto leaped desperately, narrowly dodging an invisible whip, and then some unseen giant suddenly swung a circle, throwing Haruto seven or eight zhang away.
"Dahuang?"
This suddenly appearing Haruto immediately pulled Yoru Chikao's memories back to his previous life.
When he was a child, Yoru Chikao found a young Haruto, and Haruto grew up with Yoru Chikao.
That period was Yoru Chikao's most cherished childhood, but unfortunately, good times didn't last.
One day three years later, Yoru Chikao never saw that Haruto again after school, leaving behind only a bloody dog leash.
Since then, Yoru Chikao had never raised another dog.
If it weren't for the almost imperceptible deep white mask on Haruto's face and the round Hollow hole on its belly, Yoru Chikao would have almost thought this was his Dahuang, because it was too similar.
"It's just a weak Freshman dog-shaped Hollow, not... my Dahuang!"
The unknown entity that had been following Haruto did not directly prey on it; it was clearly toying with and tormenting this dog-shaped Hollow, indicating that this thing's intelligence was not low.
And from spiritual pressure observation, it seemed to be quite a bit higher than Yoru Chikao's.
But Yoru Chikao judged that as long as he got the first strike, he definitely had a chance.
So he no longer hesitated.
"First, hit him with a blast!"
His right index finger extended from the sand layer, and a trace of black-red spiritual pressure gathered at his fingertip.
"Whoosh!"
A black-red beam, carrying terrifying high temperature, grazed the dog-shaped Hollow's tail and shot behind it.
Just a tiny graze from the Cero melted Haruto's tail, leaving only a black scar.
"Woof!"
Haruto yelped and rolled to the side.
"Roar!!!"
A piercing roar came from behind it, and then a huge figure appeared: a dark green giant lizard.
It was about five meters tall and thirty meters long.
In the hands of this giant lizard were two sharp, large bone spikes.
At this moment, it was opening its mouth wide, spitting out its already mangled scarlet tongue, its eyes coldly staring in Yoru Chikao's direction, the brutality in its eyes indescribable.
"Lizard? No, it should be a Chameleon!"
Judging from its spiritual pressure and size, this Chameleon Hollow should be at the Giant Hollow level.
It was one rank higher than Yoru Chikao at this time.
Upon seeing this Chameleon Hollow reveal its true form, Yoru Chikao immediately felt confident.
Its tongue, which served as a weapon, had been blasted by a Cero; Yoru Chikao was confident he could defeat a half-crippled Giant Hollow!
"Damn it, who is it! How dare you harm this lord!!! This lord will tear you to pieces!"
The Chameleon Giant Hollow actually spoke human words, fiercely addressing Yoru Chikao's location.
Yoru Chikao had painstakingly searched for an intelligent fellow, and unexpectedly, he encountered one here in such a way.
However, Yoru Chikao did not intend to speak with it; he continued to stealthily move under the sand, coming behind the Chameleon Hollow's tail and quickly striking, carrying faint lightning arcs, sending the unsuspecting Chameleon flying backward.
"Damn it! How dare you interfere with this lord!! I'll kill you!! I'll kill you!!"
Yoru Chikao completely ignored the Chameleon Hollow's frantic screams.
While it was unable to get up due to the Gran Rey Cero's electrocution, he quickly swam in front of it, and his upper body sprang out of the sand.
Clenching his fists, golden lightning arcs wrapped around his fists as he furiously struck the Chameleon Hollow's softest belly.
Yoru Chikao's Gran Rey Cero, which initially could only attach to the centipede segments of his lower body, had progressed to being able to attach to his entire body!
"Ora, Ora!"
Under Yoru Chikao's series of wild punches, the Chameleon Hollow, which was already belly-up, was riddled with holes; each punch created a bloody hole, and dark green blood splattered everywhere.
"Zzzzt!"
Not good, this beast's blood is corrosive.
Yoru Chikao's fists were continuously burned by the dark green blood, and affected by this, his punching speed slowed down.
