As expected, if you want to learn Bankai, you still have to rely on yourself in the end!
Yamabuki staggered out. He remembered that Chiyo's life was still unknown. Now that what needed to be dealt with had been dealt with, it was time to collect her body. Bah, it was time to save her.
Yamabuki believed that Chiyo must have a strong life and would not die so easily!
...
Early morning.
The dew wet people's clothes, and the occasional sound of birds singing could be heard from the mountains. Chiyo woke up in a daze.
"Where am I?" Chiyo opened her eyes and found that she was not unconscious in the mountains but in a small wooden house. She was covered with a thin blanket. The blanket gave off a strange smell, just like the medicine her mother made for her when she was sick as a child, except that this smell was stronger than the smell of medicine.
Chiyo couldn't help but cover her nose.
It seems that I was rescued by someone.
Will the hero rescuing the beauty after jumping off the cliff be an even more bloody plot? The person who saves me must be a handsome guy? And then I will start a touching love story with him!
Should this be the case?
By the way, what about the Hollow that was chasing me? If the Hollow is still nearby, I can't say I'm safe now!
Chiyo stood up from the bed and found that she had a lot of bandages on her body. It seemed that the wounds on her body had been treated by someone.
At this moment, the door of the cabin creaked open.
A figure walked in from the door.
Chiyo was originally imagining that the person who saved her was a tall and handsome man, but when she saw the person coming, Chiyo's expression suddenly fell.
How can this be called a handsome guy? He is clearly an old man!
Judging from his appearance, he might be in his seventies or eighties. He was leaning on a cane, his skin was brown and dark, his face was full of wrinkles, and he was holding a medicine bowl in his hand, walking towards him with a smile on his face.
The smile on that face was eerie and strange, and it didn't look like the smile of a good person at all.
"Little girl? Are you awake? You are seriously injured! Do you want Grandpa to check your body? By the way, this is the medicine I just made. You should drink it quickly! It is good for your body!" The old man staggered over with a cane, as if his body would fall apart if he moved a little.
Chiyo looked at the bowl in the old man's hand. The medicine in the bowl was purple-black, giving off an unpleasant smell, and bubbling. It didn't look like medicine for curing diseases or injuries but more like a deadly poison!
No, even the most poisonous thing wouldn't smell this bad! This should be a bowl of mud scooped up from some swamp.
Let yourself drink this???
"Grandpa, thank you. I...I will drink the medicine right away! Hahaha!" A smile that couldn't be more fake appeared on Yuba Chiyo's face.
"Drink the medicine so that your injury can heal faster! I won't disturb your rest. I've left the medicine here for you." The old man squinted his eyes and looked up and down at Chiyo's body, making Chiyo feel uncomfortable all over.
The old man turned around slowly and walked out of the cabin little by little with the help of his crutch. While he was turning around, Chiyo hurriedly poured the bowl of black medicine into the grass outside the window. As a result, the grass withered instantly when it came into contact with the medicine, which was terrifying to see.
What kind of medicine is this? This must be highly toxic! I've met a pervert!
If I had known, I shouldn't have joined the Gotei 13. If I hadn't joined the Gotei 13, I wouldn't have participated in the actual combat exercises. If I hadn't participated in the actual combat exercises, I wouldn't have met the Hollows. If I hadn't met the Hollows, I wouldn't have ended up in this sad state!
Of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one. Although the old man saved her, Chiyo always felt that the other party had ill intentions, especially since she was a young, cute and beautiful girl.
Chiyo moved her body a little and fell from the cliff, causing some damage to her bones and muscles. However, she remembered that she used Kido to cushion the fall, so she was not seriously injured.
Slip away!
Chiyo gently opened the window and originally wanted to climb out of the window with a nimble posture, but she overestimated her motor nerves. When she climbed out of the window, her thumb hit the windowsill, and she fell forward on the grass.
Then I almost screamed while holding my thumbs up!
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" When Chiyo was about to cry in pain, a figure enveloped her and was laughing with his head down.
Chiyo looked up stiffly and saw the old man bending over with a sly smile on his face: "Little sister, where are you going? Why didn't you tell Grandpa?"
"I...I...I..." Chiyo's brain was working rapidly to find an excuse. Suddenly, Hollow's roar resounded through the valley.
A massive Menos-class Hollow lumbered toward them.
Yamatake Chiyo saw this and knew that her chance had come. Although she didn't know how strong this old man was, he would be occupied fighting the Hollow. She could escape during the chaos.
The old man turned around staggeringly, his movements like a 99-year-old stroke patient.
"Why did so many Hollow appear last night? It's so annoying!" The old man slowly raised the cane in his hand, then disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already before the Hollow. His cane pierced through the Hollow's mask like an indestructible blade before he flashed back to his original position, resuming his feeble act.
Chiyo's mouth fell open.
The Hollow didn't die immediately—its body began to melt. Within seconds, the fifteen-meter creature dissolved into putrid sludge.
"This is... flesh-melting poison!" Though young, Chiyo recognized the technique. The cane was clearly envenomed.
Remembering the "medicine" he'd offered her, Chiyo's blood ran cold.
What does this old monster want? To turn me into some preserved specimen?!
"Little sister, you didn't take the medicine Grandpa gave you, right?" The old man smiled.
"I...I...I have no appetite!" Chiyo's grimace was uglier than crying.
Is Mercury in retrograde?! Why do I attract perverts? First that lecherous lieutenant, then Captain Unohana, and now this fossil?!
HELP! ME
