Chapter 508: Water Splashing Chapter: Soul Bird Shuten Takes Action

Underground, the evil matrix.

"You have the nerve to come back even though your eggs are not even damaged!" Shuten was extremely annoyed when he saw Kakukao and Abaiba returning covered in dirt. He raised his hand and threw out a ray of flame, hitting Kakukao and Abaiba.

The flames spread, and Jiaojiao and Yabaiba cried out in pain. They were knocked to the ground, gasping for breath.

"If Fang's heart is born, King Fang will definitely be resurrected. Oh Nore, in that case..." Shuten clenched his fists, knowing that he would have to do it himself.

However, before that, it has to prepare a secret weapon to deal with the Fangrangers.

……

Black Feather Valley.

Tidom took the Tooth Barking Egg back from the lion's hand, put it back into the wooden box, and returned with everyone along the same route.

On the way back, Lion asked with concern: "Tidom, how long will it take for the Tooth Bark eggs to hatch?"

"It will probably take a day or two." Tidom held the wooden box containing the Fangyoo eggs, looked at the anxious lion and said with a smile: "Red, be patient. Even if the Fangyoo eggs are hatched, they can't cure the Fangyoo lion right away. We still need to wait for the Fangyoo hatchling to grow into the Fangyoo heart, and this process will take several days."

"Oh~ we still have to wait..." sighed the lion.

"There's nothing we can do about it." Tidom said as a matter of course.

Having said that, Tidom turned his head and looked at everyone, smiling and saying, "While there is still some time, let's continue to help Mr. Shen find the Power Beast."

"Okay." Ohkawa Sae was the first to speak with a smile.

Without waiting for others to speak, Shen Yun directly refused: "No, Tidom and I are enough to go find the Power Beast, everyone else stay."

"Huh? Why?" Samezumi asked puzzled.

"Because you have to stay to deal with the counterattack of Orugu. Orugu failed to destroy the egg of Fangwang, but they will definitely not watch the resurrection of King Fangwang. They will definitely attack you before Fangwang's heart is fully grown. Maybe even High Duke Shuten will take action personally." Shen Yun said concisely.

"..."

After hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Indeed, if they were Shuten, they would definitely choose to do so.

"I understand. Doctor, you and Tidom can go and look for Vilmmon without worry. Leave this to us." Washio Takeshi said with a smile, his arms folded across his chest.

"Well, just in case, I'll give you this belt. You should be able to use it, right?" Shen Yun handed the briefcase containing the Orga drive to Shi Zizou and asked.

After his improvement, this organ drive can be used by ordinary people.

The only drawback is that it puts too much strain on the body. If ordinary people use it frequently in a short period of time, their bodies may collapse.

"Could it be..." The lion walked away holding the suitcase, his expression changed slightly.

"Well, who knows? Just in case. Maybe it won't be used." Shen Yun said with a smile.

"Anyway, Tidom and I will find Fangbarking Peacock as soon as possible and rush back. Before that, don't die."

"Don't worry, Doctor."

"We will never lose." Everyone assured confidently.

"Okay, as long as you have confidence." Shen Yun smiled and said.

Soon, the group returned to the Turtle Rock in the forest, and the Turtle Rock took off from the ground and flew towards Tokyo.

After returning to Tokyo, Guiyan also stayed briefly in Shen Yun's manor. After the Fangrangers left, Guiyan rose vertically into the air, turned around and flew to China's Yunnan and Guizhou regions.

……

Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, Xishuangbanna, the hometown of peacocks.

Turtle Rock slowly landed in a rainforest. Shen Yun and Tidom also left Turtle Rock and came to the nearest city.

When passing by a huge square, the noise of laughter inside also attracted their attention.

The square was very lively. Men, women, young and old were splashing water on each other and playing, with screams and noises coming one after another.

"It's so fun to see so many people gathered together having a water fight." Tidom looked at the lively square with great interest and was eager to try.

"This is not a water fight, this is a New Year festival of an ethnic minority in our country called the Water Splashing Festival." Shen Yun said with a smile.

"Eh~ New Year's Day? But didn't New Year already pass a long time ago?"

"Different ethnic groups use different calendars, so the time of the New Year is naturally different. We've lucked out. Maybe we can see the Yawei Pearl of the Yawei Peacock during the New Year's sacrifice." Shen Yun explained with a smile as he looked at the bustling square in front of him.

He looked up the history of this world, and although it was generally the same, there were some changes after all.

The residents here hold a grand ceremony to worship Piman during the Water Splashing Festival every year.

Piman, a transliteration of the Dai language, means "village god" or "community god", which is similar to the spirit mediums in the three northeastern provinces, both of which are household gods.

However, the residents here worship the peacock as a totem.

It is said that thousands of years ago, the tribes and villages here fought each other for a sacred object left by the Peacock God.

Finally, the leaders of several large tribes felt that fighting like this was not a solution. Since all the tribes took the peacock as their totem and belief, it would be better for them to simply enshrine the sacred objects left by the Peacock God, and everyone would take turns to guard them as a god to be worshipped by all the tribes.

This idea was also unanimously recognized by other tribes and villages.

Thus, this custom was passed down and evolved into an important part of the Dai New Year.

It is said that this custom has been maintained for thousands of years, and people here hold sacrifices every year.

Shen Yun estimated that what these ethnic minorities were offering sacrifices to were most likely the Yawei Pearl of the Yawei Peacock.

In fact, this is understandable. For the ancients, there is not much difference between powerful beasts and gods.

The only problem is, if he takes the Fangwei Orb from Fangwei Peacock, won’t he be hunted down by the locals?

This is no different from disturbing other people's ancestral graves.

"Eh? Really? When is the New Year's sacrifice?" Tidom was delighted when he heard it and asked quickly.

"According to the information I have read, the residents here will hold a New Year's sacrifice tomorrow." Shen Yun replied.

"Tomorrow? Then..." Tidom looked at the lively scene in front of him, and also looked up at Shen Yun, his eyes full of anticipation.

"If you want to play, go ahead and play." Shen Yun let out a sigh and said.

"Great! Mr. Shen is the best." Tidom cheered and ran into the square impatiently.

"Wait..." Shen Yungang raised his hand, looked at Tidom who had already run into the square, and swallowed back the next words.

Don't go in empty-handed.

Forget it, it’s a good opportunity for Tidom to experience the enthusiasm of Songkran Festival.

Soon, Tidom held her head and ran out of the square screaming. Her wet blonde hair stuck to her pretty face, and the wet hair was still dripping water. Even her dress was wet and stuck to her body.

Although he was splashed with water as soon as he entered, Tidom did not show any sign of annoyance. Instead, he walked quickly to Shen Yun with a smile on his face and complained, "Really, Mr. Shen, why didn't you remind me?"

She ran in without taking anything, so she was just going to get splashed, right? She couldn't even fight back.

"I reminded you, who told you to run so fast? You ran in before I even finished speaking." Shen Yun raised his hand and tapped Tidom's brow, saying with some amusement.

"Hehe, let's go buy a bucket and then go in and have a water fight." Tidom touched his forehead, then laughed, pushed Shen Yun to a store near the square, bought two large water guns, and then pulled Shen Yun into the square.

"Watch out!" As soon as they entered the square, Tidom turned against Shen Yun. He raised the water gun in his hand and sprayed it at Shen Yun with a smile.

Shen Yun, who had never expected Tidom to betray him, was caught off guard and splashed with water in the face.

Shen Yun wiped the water stains off his face, looked at Tidom with a fake smile, and said, "Tidom, you are very brave."

"Just kidding, I'm super brave."

"Then there's nothing more to say. Prepare to die." Shen Yun also raised the water gun in his hand and sprayed water on Tidom's face.

"Ah~" Tidom let out a scream, then ran away, laughing and fighting back at Shen Yun with a water gun.

After playing for a while, Shen Yun and Tidom left the square, and gave the water guns to the children in the square.

Because they were all wet, Shen Yun took Tidom to a nearby place to buy new clothes.

Then, Shen Yun took Tidom to check out the place where the sacrifice would be held tomorrow.

"I sensed it. There is indeed a Fang-barking Orb here." Tidom had just arrived near the sacrifice when he immediately sensed the existence of the Fang-barking Orb and said happily.

"Can you determine the location?" Shen Yun asked.

"There!" Tidom raised his hand and pointed out the direction.

Shen Yun looked in the direction Tidom pointed, and saw a pagoda.

The octagonal pagoda has nine floors and is nearly twenty meters high. Its weathered appearance shows that it is very old.

Since Theravada Buddhism, also known as Hinayana Buddhism, has a great influence in Yunnan and Guizhou, it is not surprising that Buddhist beliefs are integrated with the original beliefs of local ethnic minorities.

After all, there is also a Peacock King in Buddhism.

With Shen Yun's eyesight, he could also see a green gem enshrined on the top of the pagoda.

"Let's come again tomorrow and see if there is any chance to get the Fangwei Orb inside." Shen Yun glanced at the top of the pagoda, and before the guards guarding the pagoda noticed them, he retracted his gaze and said softly.

There were people guarding the pagoda, so they couldn't stay here for too long. They could only see if the young Toothbark could provide any support.

If the young of the Toothbark can summon the Toothbark Orb of the Toothbark Peacock, it can save a lot of effort and trouble.

Unless there is really no other way, Shen Yun would not consider robbing.

"Yeah." Tidom nodded vigorously.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

"Mr. Shen, come and see, the Fangbark Egg seems to be about to hatch." Tidom said excitedly as he looked at the Fangbark Egg, which was flashing with a halo inside and shaking constantly.

"Here it comes." Upon hearing this, Shen Yun also walked to the side of Tidom, looking at the Fangy Egg whose inner halo flickered like a pulse, and said, "Is it finally going to hatch?"

The Fanghou Egg is about to hatch, which proves that Shuten is about to take action, so they have to speed up their actions as well.

I hope that this hatched Fanghui baby can summon the Fanghui Orb.

Otherwise, he would have no choice but to rob it.

"Mr. Shen, can we let Red and the others see what we are seeing here?" Tidom suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Yun and asked.

"Sure, what's the matter?" Shen Yun asked.

"I want Red and the others to witness the hatching of Fangbark's egg." Tidom said with a smile.

"Witness it? All right." Shen Yun did not refuse. He directly contacted the Fangrangers in the villa through satellite signals and virtual projection.

When the Fangbarkers heard that the Fangbarker Egg was about to hatch, they all excitedly gathered in front of the virtual projection screen.

"Let me see, let me see."

"Hey, don't squeeze me."

Amid the noisy chatter of several people, the frequency of the Fang Barking Egg's shaking became increasingly louder.

"It's almost time to be born." Tidom said with joy on his face as he looked at the gently swaying Toothbarking Egg.

"Crack!"

As soon as Tidom finished speaking, a crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the eggshell of the Fangbark Egg with a crisp "crack" sound, and then the crack quickly spread out and surrounded the eggshell of the Fangbark Egg.

Seeing the changes in the Fangbark Egg, the Fangbark Rangers stopped fighting for position and stared with wide eyes, watching the Fangbark Egg hatch.

As the eggshell cracked in the middle, a bright white light shone from it, and a young bird pushed open the eggshell and appeared in front of everyone.

When the light faded, everyone could see His appearance clearly.

This is a baby bird with light blue fur all over its body, but white fur on its cheeks and belly. There is a sapphire between its eyebrows, and its body is a little chubby. It looks very cute.

"It's hatched."

"Ah~ so cute!" Ohkawa Sae's eyes lit up as he looked at the hatched soul bird.

The young soul bird also opened its eyes amid the noise of the crowd, and the first thing it saw was Tidom lying on the table, looking at it with a smile on his face.

"Biyu~" the soul bird flapped its little wings and called.

"Is this Yawang's heart?" the lion asked in surprise.

"This is a hatchling, and it hasn't grown into the heart of Fangwang yet. We have to wait until the hatchling grows up." Tidom picked up the soul bird, looked at the people on the virtual screen, and smiled.

"Come to think of it, He doesn't have a name yet. How about we give Him a name?" suggested the Lion.

"Okay, what should we call Him?"

"Just call me Biyu-chan."

"Hey~ What's this name?"

“Because He keeps calling out ‘Uh-huh-huh’ all the time.”

"This name is too casual."

"Biyu! Biyu!" The soul bird in Tidom's arms suddenly screamed in panic.

"What's wrong? Biyu-chan?" Tidom looked at the frightened soul bird strangely and asked.

"Wow!"

At this time, the sacred spring suddenly gushed out a large amount of water, which attracted the attention of Shen Yun and Tidom.

"Has Orugu appeared?" The Fang Rangers also heard the rapid alarm.

"No, it's not Orugu. This fluctuation is much stronger than before." Tidom quickly came to the sacred spring with the soul bird in his arms. The gushing water gradually disappeared, and the scene appeared on the water surface.

High Duke Shuten was laughing, enjoying the screams and fear of the humans.

"Red, you guys go and stop Shuten quickly. We will come back immediately after we wake up Fanghou Peacock. You must hold on." Shen Yun saw Shuten appear and turned to look at the Fanghou Rangers on the virtual screen and said.

"Yes!" The Fangrangers nodded, hung up the phone, ran out of the villa and rushed to the scene.

"Tidom, bring Biyu-chan with you, let's go get the Fangwei Orb now." Shen Yun said again.

"Yeah." Tidom nodded, holding the soul bird, and left Turtle Rock with Shen Yun and ran towards the sacrificial site.

The grand sacrificial activities being held in the city were becoming more and more intense. Local residents were beating drums and gongs, singing and dancing as they walked towards the sacrificial site.

The streets were crowded with people, watching the excitement everywhere.

Shen Yun held Tidom's wrist and protected Tidom as they struggled through the crowd. Finally, they arrived at the sacrificial square ahead of the sacrificial team. (End of this chapter)
