Chapter 181 Frieza Finds the Elder
"Bulma!"
"We're back! Aunt Bulma!"
"Bulma! Give us the Dragon Radar now!"
Shang Yun, Krillin, and Gohan finally arrived at the crevice where Bulma was hiding. But as soon as they entered, they were dumbfounded; Bulma was nowhere to be found. The three of them anxiously searched back and forth, leaving no corner unchecked, but Bulma remained elusive.
Krillin frowned, muttering with a puzzled look, "That's strange, where did Bulma go? That woman always messes things up at crucial moments!"
Son Gohan, looking anxious, said, "We need to find the Dragon Radar quickly, or we'll run out of time!"
At this moment, Shang Yun squatted on the ground, seemingly having discovered some important clue, and hurriedly called out, "Krillin, Gohan, come and take a look!" The two quickly went over upon hearing this, and saw a clear row of tire tracks on the ground.
After examining it carefully, Klin said, "This looks like a tire track from a jet motorcycle."
Gohan chimed in, "So, Aunt Bulma has already gone out?"
Krillin sighed helplessly, "This woman, does she intend to take the Dragon Radar and find the Dragon Balls herself? There's just no way to deal with her!" He then turned to Shang Yun and Gohan, his expression serious, and said, "We have to catch up with her quickly and get the Dragon Radar, or it'll be too late!" As soon as he finished speaking, Krillin dashed off and took to the air. Shang Yun and Gohan followed without hesitation, flying off into the distance.
……
“Brother Neru, you’re back?” Dandy asked in surprise.
Inside the Grand Elder's residence on Namek, the Grand Elder looked gently at Nail, who had hurriedly returned, and asked softly, "Nail, didn't I send you to assist those Earth warriors in fighting against those evil beings? Why have you suddenly come back?"
Naru lowered his head slightly, his face showing a mixture of guilt and determination, and replied respectfully, "I am very sorry, Elder, protecting your safety is my primary responsibility. In my opinion, you need my protection more right now. If the Elder dies, the Dragon Balls will disappear, and those Earth warriors will not be able to fulfill their wishes..." Naru paused here, not continuing.
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder sighed softly, a hint of helplessness and understanding in his eyes, and slowly said, "Since you have made up your mind, then stay."
Just then, Neru and the Grand Elder sensed an extremely powerful and malevolent aura rapidly approaching. Neru's expression hardened, and he turned to look at the Grand Elder, his eyes filled with vigilance.
The elder's expression was grave, and he said in a deep voice, "It seems they have come knocking after all. Dandy, come here."
Dandy immediately responded and quickly walked to the Elder's left side. The Elder gently placed his left hand on Dandy's head, and as he slowly exerted his power, a mysterious and powerful force surged into Dandy's body, instantly unleashing his latent power. Dandy felt the energy within his body surge like a raging tide, his face filled with shock and disbelief.
After a moment, the Elder slowly withdrew his hand and said to Dandy in a firm yet gentle tone, "Dandy, I have fully unleashed your potential. Now, go and help those Earthlings immediately."
Dandy looked up in surprise, his eyes flashing with hesitation and worry. He was about to say something when he said, "But, Elder..."
The elder interrupted him, his tone leaving no room for argument: "Don't hesitate, go now! They are in deep crisis and desperately need your help. With your current abilities, fly at full speed and you'll be there in no time."
Upon hearing this, Dandy took a few steps back, clenched his teeth, and gradually replaced the hesitation in his eyes with determination. He nodded forcefully and said, "Yes, Elder!" After saying that, he turned around and pushed open the door. His figure flew out like an arrow and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
The elder watched Dandy's departing figure, his lips parted slightly, and he murmured to himself, "I wonder if those evil people will kill me first, or if my old bones will be extinguished like a candle in the wind."
Neru's gaze was fixed on the distance, and he said solemnly, "It seems he's here." He quickly turned to look at the Grand Elder. At that moment, the Grand Elder sat quietly in his chair, eyes closed, face calm, making no move and offering no response to Neru's words.
In the distance, Frieza's sharp gaze precisely targeted the mountain where the Grand Elder was located. A slight, cold smile curled at the corner of his lips as he muttered to himself, "So that's how it is, hidden in such a remote place. However, there are indeed signs of several Namekian life forms there."
Just as Frieza was intently watching the Grand Elder's residence, a figure flew in from afar like lightning, brushed past him, and rushed straight out. It was Dendey.
Frieza glanced sideways at the figure rushing past and muttered disdainfully, "Forget it, let him go. With that brat's abilities, he can't cause any trouble, he won't have any impact."
Dandy, who was moving at high speed, naturally noticed Frieza, but he didn't stop or even react. Instead, he used all his strength to speed up and fly away into the distance.
Not long after, Frieza landed steadily on the mountain where the Grand Elder's residence was located, flew off the aircraft, and was about to attack the house.
At the same time, the door creaked open slowly, and Neru walked out with a cold expression: "Who are you?"
Frieza wore a malicious smile, his crimson eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone carried an undeniable air of dominance: "My name is Frieza. I've come to Namek with only one purpose: to collect all seven Dragon Balls and fulfill my long-held wish. I've been working tirelessly to collect them, but I still haven't been able to achieve my goal. So, I need to find a local and ask them for advice on how to achieve my wish."
Naru said in a calm and powerful voice, "Frieza, you should go back! We will never help an evil person like you to fulfill your wishes."
Frieza's smile faded, and he let out a cold snort, emanating a chilling aura. Just as he was about to make a move, the combat power detector in his ear suddenly started beeping incessantly. Frieza frowned, quickly turning his head to look, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. At the same time, Nail also subconsciously looked towards the horizon, muttering under his breath, "They're here."
Frieza curled his lip in disdain, his tone full of sarcasm: "What's going on? So you still have some comrades who survived. But their combat strength is pitifully low; my detectors couldn't even detect their presence just now."
As they spoke, the three Namekians had already flown to the airspace above the Elder’s house. They turned around, landed steadily, and stared at Frieza without any fear.
