2-4 Concentrated Reishi

You know, when we first got here, I thought we'd discover that this was a world where nothing was able to live.

But surprisingly, there are some little animals here. Even though they're all Hollows.

Now wait, don't Hollows have to constantly eat human souls just to survive? I wonder what these little guys end up eating to stay alive?

Here in Hueco Mundo, Reishi is highly concentrated throughout the air.

That's good for the smaller Hollows. I imagine they can absorb enough energy by simply breathing.

There's reishi in the air? C'mon, how could you even know that?

Quincies make use of the ambient Reishi when they fight. The higher the density of Reishi, the stronger we are.

I confirmed that in the last battle we had. Once I get the hang of it, I should be able to fight better than in the world of the living, or even in the Soul Society.

Oh, well that's interesting.

You say you function better when there's a lot of reishi around... It sure sounds like a Hollow to me.

Excuse me?!

Soul Reapers are practically the same!

I'm not! I'm different...

Yeah right, just you! Rukia had to go back to the Soul Society for a while before she could regain her powers.

Rukia's just weird like that.

Keep this is mind. The higher amount of Reishi benefits the Arrancars as well as me.

I don't know how many Hollows Aizen has turned into Arrancars. More to the point, it's hard to say how well he's able to control them.

As far as the Arrancars are concerned, we're not only the enemy, we're also food.

Even if we should come across a normal-looking Hollow, we're going to have to be extra vigilant. The way I figure, the additional reishi in Hueco Mundo's air will make it a lot stronger than it ever would be if we encountered it in the world of living.

Therefore, we need to carefully observe-

You talk too much, Uryu. Let's roll!

Hey! Stop interrupting me. This is important!

Dude, you're such a pain in the ass... But you're free to keep talking.

Let's go, Chad.

Wait!

Yaaaahahaha!

What's that sound?

Aahahahaha!

A human?!

No way, there can't be another human living here. That's impossible!

We'll deal with that later! We've gotta save her!
