Son Goku and Piccolo stopped what they were doing and looked up at the strange totem.
A sense of foreboding rose in both of their hearts at the same time.
"Call out--!"
"Call out--!"
"Call out--!"
With almost no gaps, three dazzling streaks of light flashed across the horizon from three different directions!
With a sharp sonic boom tearing through the air, three figures landed steadily at an astonishing speed on the edge of the giant crater, forming an encirclement with Son Goku and Gokua Piccolo, trapping them firmly in the center.
Before this, they were already approaching this area because of the commotion caused by the battle between Son Goku and Gokua, so they immediately followed after seeing Gokua's signal!
Son Goku's gaze swept over the three newly appeared people.
Like Gokua, these three exuded a pure, extremely unsettling aura of evil.
What made Son Goku and Piccolo's expressions change drastically was that the three people were each holding two Dragon Ball!
Besides the one Dende took away earlier...
They've actually collected all the Dragon Ball from Planet Namek!
"Looks like you're in trouble, Gokua."
The woman named Zangya casually tossed her long, orange, curly hair.
The tall, burly man, Bido, also fixed his gaze on Son Goku and Piccolo, twisting his neck.
His eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty anticipation.
"This is the guy who told you to send the signal?"
They looked as thin as two worms.
" Gokua, haven't you been stretching your muscles in too long? Your body's all rusty! Do you want me to help you tear them to shreds?"
Gokua ignored his companion's sarcasm.
"Heh, I just didn't want you to miss out on this good show." He shrugged indifferently.
Then he added a reminder.
Don't let your guard down.
"Be careful not to slip up; we won't use these Dragon Ball to revive you."
However, they were just talking; the Gokua need to ask for help was obviously no small fry.
The three carefully placed the faintly glowing Dragon Ball on the ground.
The four warriors of the Hera Clan have finally gathered together.
Their eyes were sharp as they locked onto Son Goku and Piccolo, who were surrounded by them.
Son Goku and Piccolo stood back to back.
His expression was solemn.
"Oh no!"
"They've called for backup..." Piccolo thought to himself, annoyed.
"How was it, Sun?"
"Two for each of us, wanna see who can last the longest?"
Upon hearing this, Son Goku couldn't help but smile wryly, "To have this kind of interest at a time like this, this isn't like you, Piccolo!"
"If it's a one-on-one situation, I could probably take one down!"
"But one against two... I think I'd probably lose..."
Piccolo continued, "Even if we can't win!"
"Just stall for time as much as possible!"
"Reinforcements are on their way!"
"Huh? Support?" Son Goku's expression shifted slightly!
"Is it support from the base?"
However, his surprise faded quickly.
New problems have emerged.
"But! Facing these guys... my concern is... reinforcements won't be of any use..."
In response to Son Goku's concerns, Piccolo said in a deep voice, "Let's try anything, even if it seems hopeless!"
"At least there's still some hope!"
Just as Son Goku blocked Bido's heavy punch, Gokua's ghostly figure appeared silently in his blind spot!
"That guy, Gailuo, is actually quite reliable!"
"Now we have no choice but to believe him!"
The two silently reached a consensus.
A renewed fighting spirit ignited on his face!
At this moment, the four Hera Warriors exchanged glances!
The four figures left a trail of afterimages as they tacitly split into two groups and launched an attack on Son Goku and Piccolo simultaneously!
The battle erupted instantly!
Bido's towering figure, like a runaway heavy tank, was the first to crush Son Goku!
Son Goku's eyes sharpened, and golden flames gathered wildly on his arms. He crossed his hands and forcefully took Bido's heavy punch!
The longsword in his hand was like a dark red lightning bolt, aimed straight at Son Goku's ribs, attempting to kill him with a single blow!
With his Super Saiyan- like, beast-like fighting instincts, Son Goku forcefully twisted his waist at the critical moment when the long sword was about to strike him!
"Sizzle!"
The sharp blade of the sword grazed past his orange martial arts uniform.
Son Goku followed up with a powerful knee strike, slamming it into Bido's soft abdomen!
Bido let out a painful groan, his massive body involuntarily arching backward.
Using his strength, Son Goku performed a clean and swift backflip, narrowly dodging Gokua's follow-up series of slashes!
The battlefield on the other side was equally fierce.
Zangya's figure moved like a butterfly flitting among flowers, silently darting towards Piccolo.
Piccolo remained calm and composed.
Faced with Zangya's relentless barrage of attacks, he didn't even choose to dodge.
Piccolo's arms moved with incredible speed, like a phantom, blocking every kick from Zangya with perfect precision!
Now!
Suddenly, Piccolo unleashed a powerful punch without warning, instantly shattering the myriad of leg shadows and slamming it solidly into Zangya's crossed arms as he blocked!
"What?!"
Zangya's smile froze instantly.
An overwhelming force surged through her arm, and she was struck as if by a speeding train. With a scream, she was sent flying dozens of meters away, crashing heavily into a distant mountainside!
This Namekian... how can he be so strong?!
Just as Piccolo was about to press his advantage, Bujin, who had been hiding in the back and had not participated in the direct confrontation, curled up a sinister smirk.
His hands had been rapidly forming hand seals without anyone noticing.
It's here!
Alarm bells rang in Piccolo's mind, but it was too late.
Without warning, several purple "spiritual lines," barely perceptible to the naked eye, emerged from the ground like venomous snakes and instantly coiled around Piccolo's limbs!
My body... I can't move!
Piccolo felt his body suddenly stiffen, as if the surging energy within him was forcibly blocked by an invisible force, and his originally swift movements were abruptly halted in mid-air!
"Die, you green monster!"
Zangya seized this fleeting opportunity, a venomous glint in her eyes!
"BOOM--!!!"
The violent explosion instantly engulfed Piccolo, and the terrifying energy shockwave ripped another huge trench in the ground, billowing thick smoke that obscured everything.
"Ha, it's over." Bujin sneered, releasing Piccolo from his restraints.
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.
A green figure reappeared in their sight.
He glanced at his empty right shoulder without changing his expression.
With a low growl, flesh began to writhe, intertwine, and grow at a visible speed from the severed arm!
A brand new, intact, and powerful arm has grown back!
But he was also panting heavily.
Just as both sides were about to move on to the next round of clashes.
Two streaks of light flashed across the sky!
