Chapter 447: The Barking Elephant that Cannot Be Awakened, and the Unique Charcoal Fire Burning Orugu
"Great!" Tidom looked at the Fangwei Orb reflected on the Holy Spring, and stood up excitedly. Then he quickly ran to Shen Yun, handed the stone ball in his hand to Shen Yun, and said: "With the Fangwei Elephant's Orb, as long as we can find the sleeping Fangwei Elephant, we can wake it up. By then, Mr. Shen will definitely be recognized by the Fangwei Elephant and become a Fangwei Ranger!"
She was truly happy for Shen Yun.
But the next moment, as if she had thought of something, the joy on her pretty face disappeared, revealing a bit of depression. She sighed and said, "But the record of the place where the Fang-barking Elephant is sleeping in the scroll is too vague. The area in the south is so large, how can we find it?"
"I might know where the barking elephant rests." Shen Yun said with a smile as he looked at Tidom, whose expression kept changing.
"Huh? Really?" Tidom asked in surprise.
"Of course." Shen Yun pulled up a map and found the location of Woxiang Mountain. He said, "According to the literature and folklore I found on the Internet, there are folklore about Woxiang Mountain. According to the legend, Woxiang Mountain is the hiding place of a giant elephant that once fought off ghosts together with the heroes. It is a mountain transformed from a giant elephant. The barking elephant may be sleeping here."
"It's amazing! This thing called the Internet can actually find the resting place of the barking elephant so quickly!" Tidom couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard it.
"Collecting information is just the simplest application of the Internet. If Tidom wants to learn, I can teach you how to surf the Internet after we go back. The Internet is very interesting." Shen Yun smiled and said temptingly.
"Okay." Tidom agreed with a smile without any doubt, and then said impatiently: "Then let's set off quickly!"
"it is good."
Tidom turned around and raised his hand again toward the spiral rock in the center of the sacred spring.
A fluorescent light flashed on the surface of the spiral rock, and the Turtle Rock began to rumble and then flew straight towards the Woxiang Mountain.
Soon, Guiyan flew to Woxiang Mountain and then slowly landed on an open space.
"It's so desolate here." Tidom walked out of Turtle Rock with the stone ball in his hand. Looking at the yellow earth and almost no green of the Sleeping Elephant Mountain in front of him, he wondered, "Is the barking elephant really here?"
"Anyway, let Tidom try to wake up the Fanged Elephant by praying first." Shen Yun said.
To be honest, the only thing he valued most was the scroll that had not been burned.
But the content inside really disappointed Shen Yun.
As for awakening the barking elephant...
He didn't actually have high expectations, he just came here to try his luck.
"Yeah!" Tidom nodded, picked up the stone ball, then slowly closed his eyes and prayed silently.
"Ya- ...Elephant!"
As Tidom prayed, the patterns on the surface of the stone ball held in her palm suddenly lit up with green light, quickly enveloping the entire stone ball, and bursts of elephant sounds came out from the stone ball.
Soon, the green light surrounding the stone ball dissipated, and a crystal clear Fangbark Orb fell into Tidom's palm.
"Success!" Tidom opened his eyes and looked at the Fangxiang's Fangzhub in his hand and said in surprise.
After saying that, Tidom picked up the Tooth-barking Orb that fell into his hand. When he was about to hand it over to Shen Yun, the Tooth-barking Orb of the Tooth-barking Elephant suddenly lit up with a green light.
But the next moment, the bright green light broke away from the Fangwei Orb, circled in the air for several circles, and then crashed into the cliff in front of them.
The originally flat cliff was hit by the green light, and amid the sounds of elephants, the outline of a giant elephant emerged.
"Hey~ How could this happen?!" Tidom said disappointedly as he looked at the outline of the giant elephant on the cliff.
"Failed to wake it up?" Shen Yun asked with a sinking heart as he looked at the outline of the giant elephant rising on the cliff.
"Well, the Tusk Barking Elephant and the Tusk Barking Orb have been separated for too long. The Tusk Barking Orb alone can no longer awaken the Tusk Barking Elephant. If you want to awaken the Tusk Barking Elephant, you must use the Beast King Sword to play the melody of the sword." Tidom nodded and said with a frustrated look on his face.
After much difficulty, I found a powerful beast, but I couldn't wake it up.
"Sure enough..." Shen Yun said to himself as he looked at the outline on the cliff that was gradually disappearing.
If you want to awaken the powerful beast that has been sleeping for a thousand years, you still have to rely on the Beast King Sword.
Shen Yun had expected this, so he didn't feel disappointed.
This actually confirmed one of his guesses.
If you want to awaken the dormant powerful beast, the Beast King Sword is necessary.
In that case, he would have to wait half a year until Yawenhuang joined the team, and then borrow Yawenhuang's Beast King Sword to conduct research.
Maybe, he can replicate the function of the Beast King Sword?
Anyway, just play the music of the sword and then summon the radish.
As long as it can simulate the same tone, it's fine.
"Hiss, isn't this the Beast Sword?" Shen Yun's eyes lit up.
If he could replicate the Beast King Sword, it would not be impossible for him to transform it into the Beast King Sword.
At that time, just play the Beast Sword to summon Radish.
But speaking of playing the flute to summon carrots...
He remembered that the wolf ghost's summoning of magical beasts was also to blow the wolf flute to summon the powerful beast.
Moreover, every time the wolf ghost appears, he will play the wolf flute to add background music to himself.
To be honest, he is really pretentious, but he is also really handsome.
Even after many years, Shen Yun still thinks that Wolf Ghost is the most handsome villain.
The more Shen Yun thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good idea to change the Beast King Sword into the Beast Sword.
When the wolf ghost appeared, he played the flute facing the wolf ghost.
"However, Mr. Shen, don't lose heart! The scroll also records the whereabouts of other Powerbeasts. As long as you can find those Powerbeasts that are not sleeping, Mr. Shen will definitely be recognized by the Powerbeasts and become a Fangranger!" Tidom said comfortingly.
Shen Yun couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said, "Okay, I'll take your good words."
Of course, words are one thing and actions are another.
It was obviously impossible for him to waste time looking for those powerful beasts that were not asleep.
This is such a waste of time. It’s easier to find the sleeping Powermon.
However, in the next six months, he will definitely not focus on finding the Power Beast.
After all, even if the sleeping powerful beast was found, it could not be awakened without the Beast King Sword. It would be better to figure out the evil spirit first.
"Next, shall we continue to look for other power beasts?" asked Tidom.
"No rush, we can take our time in finding the Powermon." Shen Yun smiled and said, "It's getting late, let's go back first. I know a delicious skewer restaurant in the lower town area."
Shitamachi Ward usually refers to Taito Ward, Sumida Ward, Katsushika Ward, Koto Ward, etc., including Asakusa, Oshiage, Mukojima, Fukagawa, Ueno, and Nippori, as well as part of Chuo Ward.
These areas are called "shitamachi" by Tokyo people.
The so-called Shitamachi area is where lower-ranking samurai and common people lived during the Edo period, that is, the old city area and old streets.
"Eh? Really? Then I'll be looking forward to it."
The two chatted and laughed as they also walked into Turtle Rock.
Soon, Guiyan slowly flew away from the open space of Woxiang Mountain, turned around and flew towards Tokyo.
……
Asakusa, Tokyo.
Since he needed to find charcoal to burn Orugu, Shen Yun naturally made preparations in advance.
Shen Yun collected various information from the past fifty years since the birth of Charcoal-Grilled Orugu, and then used big data to calculate the most likely place for Charcoal-Grilled Orugu to appear - the Asakusa area.
Although it took some time, Shen Yun still found the skewer stall set up by Charcoal Grilled Orugu in Asakusa.
"Found it!" Seeing the stall that was no different from the one he remembered, Shen Yun's eyes lit up. He took Tidom's hand and walked over with her.
"What a nice smell!" As he approached the stall, Tidom also smelled the rich barbecue aroma in the air, and his mouth began to water.
When he arrived at the skewer stall, Shen Yun pulled open the warm curtain of the stall, and a Mediterranean uncle wearing a beige gown and a black and white spotted towel on his head immediately came into his sight.
"What are you looking at? Just eat it or not!" Tidom, who was grilling skewers on the charcoal fire, looked at Shen Yun who lifted the warm curtain and spoke.
"I want to eat it!" Tidom sniffed the barbecue aroma in the air and raised his hand decisively.
"Uncle, do you have a menu?" Shen Yun asked, looking at the various types of skewers on the grill.
"There is no menu. You eat whatever I grill." Charcoal-grilled Orugu said as he flipped the skewers on the grill.
"What about the price?"
"Why are you complaining so much? Sit down and finish eating first." Tanhuoshao Orugu said impatiently.
Shen Yun smiled silently. This charcoal-roasted Orugu is really unique.
However, Shen Yun was not annoyed. He turned around and took a long bench from the table and chairs set up nearby, placed it in front of the skewer stall set up by Charcoal Fire Orugu, and then sat down side by side with Tidom, waiting for the skewers grilled by Charcoal Fire Orugu.
Under the roasting of red charcoal fire, fat began to overflow from the skewers on the grill, falling drop by drop into the charcoal fire, accompanied by wisps of green smoke and the sound of puffing, emitting an enticing aroma.
Tidom stared at the skewers being roasted over the charcoal fire as Orugu flipped them, and couldn't help swallowing.
It smells so good!
Charcoal-burned Orugu seemed to have noticed Tidom's eager look, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He flipped the skewers and sprinkled a little salt on them, then placed the salt-baked shrimp and sauce-roasted chicken meatballs on a plate and passed them to Shen Yun and Tidom, saying, "Have some, please."
"Arigato!" Tidom had already been tempted by the aroma. He couldn't wait to pick up the salt-roasted shrimp in front of him and took a bite.
The charcoal-grilled shrimps are chewy, firm, juicy, and have a light woody aroma from the charcoal fire.
Fresh ingredients do not require too much seasoning. Just sprinkle a little salt and you can taste the original flavor.
"Wow! It's really delicious! The boss's cooking skills are really good!" Tidom took just one bite and was immediately captivated by the taste of the skewers. He praised while eating the skewers.
"Hahaha! If it tastes good, eat more! Come, I'll treat you to this meal!" Charcoal-grilled Orugu couldn't help but laugh when he heard Tidom's praise. He put all the skewers grilled on the grill on a plate and then placed it in front of Shen Yun and Tidom.
"Eh?! This is not good." Upon hearing this, Tidom quickly waved his hands and said.
“I don’t charge money to people who understand my taste. Just eat to your heart’s content!” Tan Huo Shao Orugu patted his chest and said with a smile.
"Yeah! Boss, you are such a good person!" Tidom nodded repeatedly.
Seeing that Tidom was eating so happily, Shen Yun also picked up a string of braised chicken meatballs and took a bite.
The salty and sweet sauce wraps around the crispy outside and tender inside chicken meatballs, which neutralizes the fat in the chicken meatballs very well. The crispy bone fragments in the chicken meatballs also add a bit of chewiness to the chicken meatballs, giving them an excellent taste.
Although they were just ordinary chicken meatballs, they tasted better than the kebabs he had eaten in high-end Japanese restaurants.
Charcoal Grilled Orugu stood in front of the grill, fanning the charcoal in the grill with a small fan, and smiling at Tidom's happy face.
The tape player on the cart was playing old songs from the Showa era. The humming and humming songs made this somewhat secluded corner seem to have returned to the Showa era.
"Wow~ I'm so full!" Tidom put down the wooden stick in his hand, touched his slightly bulging belly, and said with a satisfied look on his face.
Seeing that Tidom was full, Shen Yun also put down the wooden stick in his hand, looked up at the charcoal burning Orugu, and said, "Let's talk about the charcoal burning Orugu."
Upon hearing this, Charcoal Grilled Orugu, who was skewering ingredients, suddenly changed his expression.
"Huh? Orugu? The boss? Impossible!" Tidom exclaimed.
"How did you know?" Tanhuoshao Orugu did not deny it, but looked at Shen Yun seriously and asked.
The name Orugu is not known to ordinary people.
"There has always been an urban legend about you circulating in the Shitamachi area, and some eyewitnesses uploaded blurry photos they took to the Internet, so it is not difficult to know your identity." Shen Yun said.
"I see. You must be the Fangrangers, right? Are you here to take my life?" asked Tanhushao Orugu.
"No, I never kill innocent people." Shen Yun shook his head and analyzed seriously: "I have investigated you. Apart from the fall of the 21st year of the Showa era, you caused a big disturbance at the festival in Asakusa, and you have never carried out any sabotage activities again."
"In the forty years since then, although you have occasionally appeared, you mostly scared people and never hurt anyone. You can barely be considered a harmless person."
"Huh?! Was this also investigated through the Internet?" Tidom asked in surprise.
"That's right." Shen Yun smiled and nodded, then looked at the charcoal fire roasting Orugu and continued: "And according to the urban legend circulating in the lower town area, you will only show your original form out of anger when your cooking skills are criticized or when customers have leftovers."
"Awesome! You got it all right. Are all the Fangrangers so powerful nowadays?" Tanbi-shao Orugu said with a wry smile.
"Times are changing, aren't you the same, uncle? As an Orugu, you can actually suppress the urge to destroy and become a human chef living in the human world. This is also a very incredible thing." Shen Yun smiled and said.
"If not, I wouldn't be sitting here and talking to you in a nice tone."
"Haha, I didn't expect that I was the one who saved myself back then." Tan Huo Shao Orugu laughed, then looked at Shen Yun with interest and asked, "Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?"
I have written several thousand words of drafts in the past few days. The plot is almost killing me. I estimate that after I finish writing the plot about studying evil spirits and start writing the plot about Yawenhuang, Yawenbai and Yawenlan joining the team, things will be smoother.
