Chapter 192: Tree of Might's fruit
“There’s no time to lose, so let’s hurry up. I have a feeling that this affair involving Tree of Might’s Fruit will be quite big!” Xiaya has a faint premonition. Since Raiga could find traces of the Tree of Might, couldn’t others do it too?
Such as Slug and the others?
Those overlords of North Area has rushed over to the East Area for no reason, no one would believe it that they haven’t done it in order to obtain something. Their objective, most likely, is Tree of Might’s fruits.
These are really strong experts ah! Just the mention of their names would scare people out of their wits.
However, as Planet Hongshan was located in the East Area, the Saiyans had the advantage of being in the right place at the right time, so they could compete with the them. At the very least, Xiaya believes that they would arrive at Planet Bahert before the others.
Additionally, at East Kai’s request, the Galactic Patrol Organization recruited a large number of experts and tasked them with intercepting those overlords, which would buy enough time for Xiaya and his party to rush over to Planet Bahert and grab the fruits before the arrival of these experts. Really delightful!
“I will arrange it immediately. How many Saiyans are we sending?” Rebecca faced Xiaya and asked. Her daughter has changed in these past 2 days, and as an experienced person, she understood the reason why, and although that made her delighted, she also felt the need to remind them to refrain from overly indulging in that kind of thing.
Young people should have a bit of moderation, after all.
“I plan to take all one thousand members of the Guardian Corp along. Aunt Rebecca, you all will come as well. We must move quickly, so that we can deal with this matter as soon as possible, in order to avoid any unexpected trouble due to the delay!” Xiaya decided.
Everyone nodded. The Guardian Corps observation center worked at full speed, and soon, every member of the Guardian Corp, who stood guard on Planet Hongshan, were assembled.
Looking at the Guardian Corp members donning dark-red uniforms with black border below, Xiaya’s heart was tranquil, yet he inevitably also felt a sense of pride.
These Guardian Corp members had been carefully selected from the most powerful people on Planet Hongshan. After training for many years, they had already become an invincible troop. The number of Elite Warriors among them accounted for more than half of all Elite Warriors on Planet Hongshan.
“Mr. Raiga, these are the people who will travel with us,” Xiaya said to Raiga, who was stunned by the strength of the Planet Hongshan’s warriors.
Raiga curbed his astonishment and sighed: ” Saiyans really deserve to be called a Fighting Race. This small planet have so many warriors who has more than 10,000 Battle Power!”
If an ordinary high-level planet possessed four or five experts with Battle Powers higher than 10,000, it would be considered quite impressive. Although the number of Saiyans on Planet Hongshan wasn’t too much, no one would have thought that there would be so many experts among them.
When he shifted his gaze from the dense crowd of Guardian Corp members to Bardock, Rebecca, and the others standing on a tall platform, Raiga’s face twitched… experts—these were all great experts!
The aura emanating from these Saiyans was just as powerful as his, especially that middle-aged Saiyan named Bardock. The energy being exuded from his body made Raiga, who stood in front of him, tremble.
Frightening, really frightening. His Battle Power must be no less than 180,000, ah!
The Saiyans’ high-end combat strength was unexpectedly so shocking!
This made Raiga rejoice that Planet Bakuf maintained a good business relationship with Planet Hongshan. It really was a wise move to invite the Saiyans to participate in this operation. The demonic tree would surely be eradicated, then he would be able to comfort the people from his homeworld.
This was a wish that Raiga had cherished for a long time.
When Raiga looked around and didn’t see even the shadow of a spaceship, he was flabbergasted. Are they planning to fly with their individual strength? But I heard that Saiyans couldn’t survive in the space for a long period of time.
Raiga’s eyes flashed, and he spoke to Xiaya, who stood at his side: “Planet Bahert is located in the northwestern region of the East Area; it is extremely far away from Planet Hongshan. If there are no spaceships, it may be quite difficult to go there.”
Xiaya smiled: “Rest assured Mr. Raiga, we have our own way.”
Afterward, Xiaya gestured at Xiling and Myers with his eyes and on cue, the two ladies quickly rounded up the more than one thousand Saiyans and made them hold each other’s hands.
“We will use Instant Transmission to directly reach Planet Bahert; this saves both time and effort!” Xiaya smiled faintly at the sight of Raiga’s startled expression.
“Get ready to depart!”
Xiling and Myers also made preparations as to launch Planet Yardrat’s Instant Transmission, they would need to sense the other side’s aura; moreover, the aura being sensed also couldn’t be too far away, or else, they wouldn’t be able to sense it. Therefore, this time, they could only rely on Xiaya’s Instant Transmission to go to Planet Bahert.
With a burst of flickering resplendent brilliance, the crowd in the square, who numbered more than one thousand, vanished into thin air, moving together to the other side of the distant starry sky.
……
Planet Bahert.
The sky covering enormous tree branches extended out of the atmosphere, and as the branches were spread out like a huge umbrella, it blocked the warm sunlight shining down from a star.
On a cold and dark tree branch, Madix and Duke were bored stiff from keeping watch. They yawned from time to time, as they tossed a pebble back and forth to each other.
“Hey, Duke, did you really not find anyone else in this godforsaken place? We have been here for so long and, there isn’t even a fly to be seen, except for that Saiyan monkey at the beginning!”
Madix soon got tired of their stone tossing game; he floated over and leisurely circled around the trunk of the Tree of Might. He didn’t find anything, so he again returned to the tree branch, and laid down on his back.
“Isn’t it good that you haven’t found anything, King Cooler had us guard the Tree of Might, and I don’t want anything to go wrong!” Duke’s eyelids slightly jiggled as he said those words, although he was also feeling very bored.
“Aiya, that’s boring!” Madix shook his head, took off the energy detector on his ear and played with it—throwing it into sky again and again.
Suddenly, his energy detector began beeping non-stop. Beep! beep! beep! These beeps were accompanied by many numbers continuously flashing on the screen appeared in front of his eyes, before the energy detector exploded with a bang.
“What happened?! How could the detector suddenly explode?” Madix frowned, voicing the astonishment that he felt.
It must be known that these new types of energy detectors could calculate energy in several tens of thousands, so it was impossible for it to suddenly burn down like this.
“Did it break down because you tossed it?” Duke asked.
“Its quality wouldn’t be so bad, right?”
“Who knows, let me check it out.” Duke smiled and switched on his detector.
In order to save energy, they alternated the use of the detectors; Duke’s detector had been turned off before. As soon as Duke pressed the switch on his detector, his expression turned grave because his detector burned down just like Madrix’s did!
“How can this be!” They were shocked; the previous expressions of content and leisure that donned their faces had long since evaporated. Immediately, they stood up and paid attention to their surroundings with great vigilance.
Duke’s ashen expression became grave as he said: “Two detectors have simultaneously burned down. The only logical explanation is that it has detected a strong energy signature on Planet Bahert! Damn it! King Cooler is about to arrive. We must protect the Tree of Might’s fruits before King Cooler arrives!”
Madix nodded: “The probability of the detectors malfunctioning is very low. Since both energy detectors burned down, the opponent’s Battle Power has to be at least 50,000. Didn’t you notice, just now, before the energy detector had burned down, a series of numbers appeared…”
“It seems a lot of people have come!” Duke muttered icily, and a murderous aura erupted out from his body.
“Caution is never wrong. We should immediately inform King Cooler about this. I hope he can hurry over as quickly as possible!”
“Hmm!”
Madrix and Duke glanced at each other before jumping and rushing over to the place they had landed their spacecrafts. After they got there, they sent news of the new development on Planet Bahert to Cooler’s headquarters in clear and simple words. Afterward, they waited near the Tree of Life in combat readiness.
Without a backup energy detector, they could not find the traces of the intruders.
On the other side of the planet, Xiaya arrived with a lot of Saiyans. When he appeared, he was shocked by the Tree of Might’s body, which covered the sky and sun—like a huge lid covering the planet.
And when they spotted the red fruits amongst the mass of green fruits, which resembled apples, their eyes glowed with a crimson light.
“Hurry up and collect the red fruits. Don’t bother with those green ones; just pick those crimson red fruits!” Xiaya hurriedly yelled at everyone without much hesitation. Those fruits were very useful, and represented everyone’s future; thus, the more they pick up the better.
“Yes, Sir Xiaya!”
“Let’s get moving! Don’t bother with those half-green, unripened fruits. You, you, quickly open Hoi-Poi Capsules…”
Fervently shouting, the Saiyans stroked the crimson fruits with bloodshot eyes, just like they would a lover that they hadn’t seen for a long time. Even Bardock and Rebecca had forsaken their usual calm and joined the fruit plucking frenzy.
“Mr. Raiga, two thousand kilometers away from here, in the southwest direction, there are two aliens with Battle Powers 170,000 and 130,000. Are those the aliens that you said to have seen?” Xiaya turned to ask Raiga once he had sensed the auras on Planet Bahert.
Raiga didn’t understand how Xiaya discerned their location, but he nodded and said, “Yes, I had indeed discovered two aliens last time I got close. It should be them…”
After receiving confirmation, Xiaya pondered for a bit before yelling towards Xiling and Myers, who were both nearby moving back and forth among the tree’s branches, plucking Tree of Might fruits: “Xiling, Myers, don’t be in a hurry to pick the Tree of Might fruits. First, go and finish off those two aliens.”
Xiaya was worried that the two aliens might try to destroy the Tree of Might if they were driven to desperate situation, so the safest method was to thunderously capture them before they could react.
