Chapter 250: Szayelaporro's Scheme

As everyone expected, these arrancars didn't even care about their own kind, so naturally they didn't care about their lives. Ceros were released one after another, sweeping towards them.

Although it was not very powerful because it was just an ordinary Cero, and the attacking speed was not very fast, but under this kind of indiscriminate attack, it still caused a lot of trouble for Ichigo and others, especially under the circumstances that they had to fight against the surrounding Gillians, so the movable space had long been limited to a very small range, and it was proving to be extremely difficult to avoid those Ceros.

"These guys don't care about the lives of their companions at all, they just want to put us to death!" Ichigo said loudly.

He actually didn't quite understand the arrancars' behavior. These Gillians should be regarded as their companions, right? So why do they don't even care about their companions' lives?

"Perhaps, to arrancar, these Gillians are not their companion at all." Rukia's voice sounded to answer Ichigo.

"After all, hollows evolve by devouring others of their kind... For the more advanced Menos Grande, Gillians are just their food!"

"How could that be...?" Ichigo couldn't understand.

Even if it was difficult to understand, it didn't change the fact that they must break through.

Continuing to be dragged there would only attract more Menos Grande, this was the forest of Menos Grande, in the whole vast forest, and no one knows how many Menos Grande exists. Even if their current strength had improved a lot comparad to when they invaded the Soul Society, both Sado and Uryuu had improved their strength through training, Ichigo also learned to use the power of hollow inside him, Renji completed his Bankai training, and Rukia regained her shinigami powers, but that's not a reason that they could ignore these Menos Grande.

Soon, Rukia formulated a strategy of action. Ichigo and Renji following each other, one cleared the way, the other cut the back, while she, Uryuu, and Sado feigned an attack from the sidelines. In this way, the five individual went deeper into the forest of Menos Grande.

Although it might be more dangerous to go deeper, but at that time, they had no other choice.

"Chase, don't let them escape!"

The three humanoid arrancars in the lead waved their hands, and immediately several pseudo-arrancars (the one referred to as fake arrancars) in the form of animals chased after them with many Gillians.

Gillian was the lowest level of Menos Grande, and it moves slowly. It was not very difficult for Ichigo and others to run away from the Gillian's siege and head towards the depths of the Menos Grande forest.

"Don't worry, they can't escape."

Another arrancar saw his subordinates chasing after him, and comforted his companions.

The last arrancar also spoke, "Is it really okay to just kill them like this? After all, Aizen-sama had forbid to attack them."

"It is true that Aizen-sama issued an order not to attack, but this is only for the high-ranking figures like Espada. He will not pay attention to us small characters. In addition, to kill them, is an order issued to us by Szayelaporro-sama."

"Szayelaporro-sama, he is our boss!"

The other two arrancars immediately shut their mouths.

Although Aizen was the current king of Hueco Mundo, arrancars were originally born from his hands, but not all arrancars were willing to obey Aizen's orders, after all, Aizen was once a shinigami.

Hollow, succumbing to shinigami, was a very difficult thing for some hollows to accept.

Although he had given them great power, they don't necessarily have to listen to him.

Right now, the three arrancars were Szayelaporro's subordinates. Although Aizen made them arrancars and had them possess stronger power, they were obviously more willing to obey the orders of Szayelaporro, who was also a hollow, than Aizen, a shinigami.

After Ichigo and others invaded Hueco Mundo, Szayelaporro became interested in them.

After all, both shinigami and humans with special abilities were of great research value, but because of Aizen's order, he couldn't do it himself, so he finally handed over this task to his subordinates.

And because he was worried that there would be accidents if he ordered Ichigo and others were captured alive, he issued an order to several of his subordinates that he would not care whether they were captured alive or dead.

Although the value of research after the death of the subject was not as good as before, but it was safer, after death, at least their corpses could be studied without any scruples.

Watching several pseudo-arrancars chase along with the Gillians.

The three arrancars were also ready to go after Ichigo.

Ahead was the depths of the Menos Grande Forest, where Ichigo and the others were going to take the initiative to find their own way of death.

At that moment, a crimson light suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

"Who?"

An arrancar immediately snapped and looked around.

Beside him, his two companions were also on guard.

"So you are Szayelaporro's subordinates."

A deep voice sounded, and the three arrancars followed the voice, and immediately looked at the branches of the big tree next to them, where a figure in a Shihakushō stood quietly on it.

"Shinigami?"

When the arrancars saw the outfit on Mazuru, the speaker was slightly taken aback, and then his eyes revealed a cold look.

The other two arrancars were taken aback, their expressions under the broken masks changed slightly, as they recognized Mazuru, "Mazuru...sama?"

Although they were unwilling to succumb to Aizen in their hearts, at least they would not show such dissatisfaction in front of Aizen. After all, Aizen's strength that could control the Espada was real.

Similarly, the strength of the other shinigami who followed Aizen also made them jealous.

The two arrancars immediately recognized that the shinigami in front of them was one of the shinigami who followed Aizen at the beginning, but it was strange that he had not defected to Hueco Mundo with Aizen.

"Mazuru-sama, what do you mean by this?" An arrancar spoke, tentatively negotiating with Mazuru, intending to ask why he wanted to intercept them.

"Why, are you questioning me?" Mazuru asked back, "Or, are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

The unceremonious words were spoken, and the expression of arrancar who spoke immediately sank.

But fortunately, Mazuru didn't seem to intend to chat with the character who didn't have a name in the original book for too long at all. The next moment, the crimson stream intercepted in front of them moved again and turned into a dazzling sword light, sweeping towards the three arrancars.

At the same time, Ichigo and others who were being pursued by a group of Menos Grande suddenly felt a chill.
