Chapter 131 Perilous Situation
Chapter 131 Perilous Situation
Just as Shang Yun, Krillin, and Gohan saw Vegeta, Vegeta suddenly turned around and looked in their direction. Startled, Shang Yun and the others quickly crouched down and lowered their heads. Shang Yun held Dende tightly in his arms, and the four of them huddled together as much as possible, trying to hide themselves.
Vegeta didn't notice them. His gaze swept across the island and the archipelago in the sea, but he didn't notice Shang Yun and the others on the island. He muttered with some frustration, "Is it because my ability is not enough? I haven't fully mastered this skill yet. Sigh, I should have known better than to destroy the combat power detector."
Seeing that Vegeta didn't make any further moves, Krillin breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still said with lingering fear, "Damn it, Vegeta really did come to Namek. Our luck is terrible, running into him like this. But he doesn't seem to be carrying a power level detector, so how did he find us?"
Shang Yun frowned and said in a low voice, "Could it be that he has already mastered the ability to sense Qi?"
Upon hearing this, Krillin's face showed a hint of despair. He then said, "Isn't that terrible? Even though we've all defused our ki, his ki is still there." As he spoke, Krillin subconsciously glanced at Dende beside him. Shang Yun and Gohan also looked at Dende nervously. Dende looked at the three of them innocently, his eyes full of confusion.
At that moment, Vegeta in the air sensed something amiss again. He narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered, "No, there's a very faint aura coming from this direction. I'm not mistaken this time; it should be here. Let's go check it out."
When Shang Yun, Krillin, and Gohan saw Vegeta slowly descending, and that he was facing them, they immediately became extremely nervous, thinking that they had been discovered.
After a moment, the three looked at each other and made up their minds. Klin clenched his fist and said in a low voice, "Since we can't avoid it, let's fight him to the death, even if it means dying."
"Okay," Shang Yun replied firmly, a resolute look in his eyes.
Son Gohan looked at Shang Yun and Krillin, gritted his teeth, and nodded forcefully.
So the three of them held their breath and slowly emerged from behind the mountain wall, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Vegeta by surprise.
Just as the three reached the edge of the island, Vegeta was also about to arrive. Suddenly, a fish the size of a whale leaped out of the sea, sending a huge wave crashing back into the three, including Shang Yun, Krillin, and Gohan. Dende, who was behind the mountain wall, was so startled that he almost cried out.
Vegeta was also startled by this sudden turn of events. He steadied himself and muttered, "Could the faint aura I sensed be its? Never mind, Frieza has already found five Dragon Balls. There are two more left. I must find one of them quickly and hide it so they can't collect all the Dragon Balls and can't grant their wishes. Then I can steal the Dragon Balls they've collected and grant my wishes."
Seeing Vegeta fly away, Shang Yun, Krillin, and Gohan finally breathed a sigh of relief, panting heavily as they collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted. Krillin, his face beaming with relief at surviving such a close call, said, "Thank goodness, we were saved by that big fish."
Son Gohan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said weakly, "Yeah, even though there wasn't a battle, it felt like I had one. I'm exhausted."
Shang Yun slowly stood up, forcing himself to speak, "Alright, now let's calm down. Krillin, are you sure Bulma is nearby?"
Klin nodded and said, "Yes, it should be nearby."
Shang Yun continued, "Alright, let's just use our physical strength to run back. Once we find Bulma, we need to get some rest."
So the four of them, holding Dandy's hand, carefully leaped between the mountain peaks, continuing their journey toward Bulma.
Throughout the journey, Klin kept his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with worry, and his steps seemed heavy. Shang Yun keenly noticed Klin's unusual behavior. He quickened his pace, gently patted Klin's shoulder, and asked with a concerned expression, "Klin, what's wrong? You seem to have something on your mind."
Krillin raised his head slightly, a bitter smile on his face, and sighed helplessly, saying, "Shang Yun, to be honest, I really didn't want to come to Namek at first. Although I know it's unfair to Yamcha and the others, look at the current situation. It seems that if we want to revive them, even more people will die." As Krillin spoke, a struggle and helplessness flashed in his eyes.
After hearing Krillin's words, Gohan tilted his head slightly, blinked, thought for a moment, and then said, "Um, Uncle Krillin, are you referring to us?" His voice was a little childish, but his tone was very serious.
The group continued walking slowly forward, talking as they went. Suddenly, Shang Yun abruptly stopped, his eyes lighting up. He pointed ahead and exclaimed, "Look! Aren't we here?" Everyone looked up and saw a cave in front of them.
Krillin straightened his back slightly, a hint of weary determination in his eyes, and said, "Yes, we're here." Shang Yun stepped forward and patted Krillin's shoulder firmly again, an encouraging smile on his face. "Come on, don't think too much. Let's go inside and find Bulma, get some rest. You're too tired, you need to relax." Krillin hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Okay."
So the four of them hurried towards the cave. As soon as they entered, Shang Yun cupped his hands to his mouth and shouted, "Bulma, where are you? We're back! Bulma, where are you?" The four of them called out as they cautiously made their way deeper into the cave. As they walked, they suddenly saw a large door. Krillin curiously looked around the doorway, his eyes widening slightly, muttering to himself, "Could this be the house that the capsules created?"
Just then, the door creaked open slowly. Bulma cautiously peeked out, peering warily. When she saw Shang Yun and the others, a relieved smile spread across her face. She then opened the door fully, strode out, hands on her hips, and said with a hint of annoyance, "Where have you all been? Leaving a delicate young lady like me alone in this desolate place for so long!"
