Come In, Both Son-kuns!

"Help! Son-kun!"

Seeing the man and the dragon getting closer and closer, Bulma, who had been stunned by fear, finally came back to her senses. Knowing the abilities of the Son Gohan brothers, she quickly shouted for help.

"Hahaha, do you think this little shrimp can save you?"

Ribut was about to mock further when Son Gohan, beneath him, made a move.

He gripped the Ruyi Staff and shouted, "Extend!"

The short red staff seemed to come alive, its body rapidly elongating. In the blink of an eye, it was over ten meters long.

Before the dumbfounded Ributan could react, Son Gohan swung the staff with all his might and brought it down on its head.

"Boom!"

The staff, with the force of a thousand pounds, struck Ributan directly on the head, forcing the entire dragon to its knees!

Before it could react, Son Gohan immediately used the Ruyi Staff to thrust it into the ground, right under its belly.

"Lift!"

Son Gohan roared, and the dragon Ributan, weighing several tons, was directly lifted into the air.

At this point, it was dazed from the blow, its claws hanging limply. Bulma, whom it had been holding, let out a scream and began to fall from the sky.

The feeling of dizziness terrified Bulma, and she screamed. She flailed her limbs, trying to find a point of balance, but couldn't immediately.

"It's over! I don't want to die!"

Son Gohan raised his hand and looked up, observing the distance between them. He extended the Ruyi Staff behind him, propped one end on the ground, and after adjusting his angle, shouted, "Extend."

The Ruyi Staff carried him rapidly towards Bulma, catching her steadily before she hit the ground.

Bulma, who had closed her eyes and was lost in thought, suddenly felt herself being tightly held. Acting on instinct for survival, her limbs clung to Son Gohan like an octopus, too scared to let go.

At this moment, Ributan, which had been flung into the air, also fell back down, landing precisely around where Son Goku was meditating.

The impact created another "boom," and a deep crater was formed in the ground.

"Wow! Gohan, it's so fat!"

Seeing that Son Gohan had successfully hunted and captured such a large, fat dragon, Son Goku clapped his hands in delight, his eyes shining brightly.

Ributan felt the world spinning around it. It then saw the little guy with the monkey tail in front of it drooling and looking like he was ready to eat.

It immediately struggled to get up. It was too terrifying. It looked like this when it wanted to eat the human earlier. If it didn't get up now, it would probably be eaten.

Son Goku was carefully examining the fat dragon. He saw its body begin to tremble, as if it were about to escape.

"Huh? Still got the strength to struggle!"

"Ah, Hah!"

With a forceful exhale, Son Goku thought for a moment before directly assuming a horse stance and delivering a punch to Ribut's forehead. This time, Ribut only managed to let out a muffled groan before his vision went black and he completely lost consciousness.

"Done!"

Seeing Ribut collapse into sleep, Son Goku clapped his hands excitedly, preparing to resume his meditation.

This meditation technique was taught to him by Son Gohan, who said that after each cultivation session, one should sit quietly for a period, calm the mind, and feel inner peace.

Apart from being unaccustomed to it at first and often falling asleep, Son Goku gradually grew used to the feeling of meditation, which often brought him greater tranquility.

Most importantly, after meditating multiple times, he could now control himself when transforming into a giant ape under the full moon!

As for Son Gohan, he hadn't lost control since his soul had initially fused completely after he turned six.

While Son Goku was examining the unconscious food, Son Gohan, in the distance, finally walked over with his "accessory."

"Hey, Goku, go easy on him. Don't kill him. I want to see if I can influence him. If we can get another mount, traveling will be much faster!"

He casually tossed the Ruyi Staff back to Son Goku and then looked helplessly at Bulma, who was clinging to him. Although the feeling was comfortable and he wasn't at a disadvantage, being hung like this wasn't ideal.

He helplessly spoke again.

"Miss Bulma, there's no more danger. You can get down now."

Hearing his words, the trembling Bulma slowly lifted her head, which had been buried in Son Gohan's chest.

"That was terrifying! That Dragon suddenly appeared, I thought I'd never see Mom and Dad again!"

Seeing that it was truly safe, she still shivered with lingering fear. When she realized she was hanging from Son Gohan in such an undignified manner, her face turned bright red.

"I'm so sorry, Son-kun!"

After a quiet apology, she quickly released her still-wrapped legs and jumped off Son Gohan.

After all this commotion, the sun was already setting. They had originally planned to spend the night on the mountaintop, but after surveying the area, Bulma said she couldn't bear it and insisted on going down the mountain.

Son Gohan didn't insist. Before leaving, he turned back with Goku to look at Baozi Mountain.

"Goku, take another look. Once we leave this mountain, it might not be easy to come back and live here for long."

"But won't we be able to go home after we revive Grandpa?" Son Goku asked curiously.

Gazing at the distant cottage, Son Gohan didn't offer any explanation.

Son Gohan knew the future development of the Dragon Ball world. Even with him as a variable, the general direction wouldn't change.

All sorts of characters would appear, on Earth, in the Galaxy, and even the Universe!

Humans, gods, demons, monsters! They would encounter all of them, and peaceful days would be a thing of the past.

"Heh, it's nothing. Maybe when we have time later, we can come back."

He rubbed his chin and replied to Son Goku.

"Perhaps, we can go together and see the realm above the Universe. That way, it won't have been a wasted trip."

Putting aside his emotions, the three continued on their journey. Since Ribut the Pterosaur was still unconscious, Son Gohan carried him this time.

Son Goku, whose stamina hadn't fully recovered, rode on the back of the motorcycle. He was full of curiosity for this "iron monster" that could travel faster than him.

He was shouting and laughing all the way, full of joy.

They continued like this until the sun set and the moon hung high in the sky, and only then did the three completely leave the Baozi Mountain range.

Seeing the moon high in the sky, Bulma stopped the motorcycle first.

"Let's set up camp here for tonight!"

After she spoke, she casually took out another storage box from her pocket, took out a capsule, and gently threw it on the ground.

A beautiful, luxurious duplex house instantly appeared before the three.

"Please come in, both Son-kun!"
