Chapter 158 An interesting ranch

Ichigo reached where the explosion took place. He found that there was a huge hole there.

The white snowy sand terrain was completely changed from what it should be.

The white sand slowly fell down and filled in the huge hole like a waterfall.

It created a very beautiful picture after the destruction.

Ichigo looked around the area to find a trace to who or what might be the cause of the explosion.

Ichigo found some traces that told him that the cause of the explosion must have come from an arrancar of Vastor Lorde class.

Not only there were traces of the said arrancar.

There were other traces that indicated that there were more than two arrancars of the Vastor Lorde class.

They might have fought with each other and then the explosion happened.

"How is it, Kurisaki-sanbanme?"

As Ichigo had investigated the area.

Aizen had appeared near him. Ichigo could not sense him until he appeared.

Ichigo couldn't help but wonder how strong this man was.

He looked friendly and harmless but for some reason he gave off the same feeling when he was in the presence of someone far stronger than him.

"I found traces of powerful arrancars here."

Ichigo told Aizen everything about what he found. Aizen just nodded then said.

"Keep investigating, When you find something. Report to me directly."

Aizen then left. His expression was not changed a little bit as if the explosion was to be expected.

Ichigo didn't know what he was thinking at all. He seemed to know something but it was like he deemed it unimportant and just let him do whatever he wanted to.

'How strong is he, I wonder'

Ichigo shook his head and decided to focus on the matter at hand.

He followed the traces he could find and head straight to where it looked like to be a forest full of weird looking trees.

All the trees had so many holes in them and Ichigo could feel spiritual energy coming out from them like a tree producing oxygen.

"Hana, come out and keep some samples from these trees. Maybe we could use them in the future."

Hana came out of his inner world then looked around.

"Papa, Hana didn't like this place."

Hana felt bad but for her Papa she would do anything to please him like any good daughter would do.

"I am sorry, Hana. But help Papa a little bit okay."

Ichigo knew how to treat a kid so he gave her some candy he had made using spiritual fruit and she took them with a happy smile.

She then went to collect some samples for him.

Ichigo looked around with a very satisfied face. He shorted on many different types of ingredients for experiments but now he got so many things to experiment on.

"I need more clones. With my current amount of spiritual energy. I should be able to create a few hundred more."

Ichigo thought of sending his wood hollow clones to explore this world.

There were many wonderful things in this lifeless world.

It was just that no arrancar dared to venture in the desert in fear of being stripped off from their existence.

Ichigo also could feel that the desolate desert tried to swallow him but his existence was too much for them as he wasn't only hollow but many things combined.

After Hana finished gathering some samples for Ichigo. He sent her back to his inner world as she didn't like to be inside Hueco Mundo much.

Ichigo walked deeper inside the forest.

He saw many animal-like hollows. They were not different from normal animals. The difference was just that they ate spiritual grass or spiritual fruit instead.

Ichigo thought about it a little bit then.

"Let's have some animals inside my inner world."

Normal people's inner world should not be able to store anything as it was just a manifest of their soul but Ichigo's inner world was like an actual world because of his abnormal amount of spiritual power.

He collected many types of animal-like hollows.

"Hey! King, what the actual f–"

"No swearing! Bad Shiro!"

"Urg…King, why are there so many animals here? Are you going to open a ranch here? Are there any horse-like hollows there? If there is one, give them to me!"

Ichigo thought about it and he felt that opening a ranch inside his inner world was pretty interesting.

"Let's do that. I'll find them for you but you have to take care of them for me."

He would make Shiro a ranch boy.
