Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Chapter 445 The Whispers of the Demon on the Way to Ryan Temple

"Half a month has passed, and there's still no news about Orgu. Without a living Orgu as material, the remaining evil energy is completely insufficient to advance the research." Shen Yun sighed as he looked at the research, which had made no progress whatsoever.

The evil energy he extracted from the green foamy liquid left behind after Orgu's death has been almost completely depleted in the past two weeks.

After all, he had only collected one tube of green foamy liquid, and the evil energy extracted from it was limited; every drop was precious.

"We can't just wait passively like this anymore."

Shen Yun planned to go find Charcoal Burning Orug and negotiate terms with him.

"However, before that..." Shen Yun pulled up a map of Japan and found a temple called Laien Temple.

"Lai'en Temple, I remember there was the jewel of the Fanged Elephant and scrolls recording other powerful beasts here."

"With the jewel containing the Fanged Elephant, we could try to awaken it, and perhaps even form a contract with it."

Shen Yun wasn't picky about the Power Beasts; he just wanted someone who could use his power to transform.

Of course, he didn't have a choice.

Over the past two weeks, he has also consulted many ancient documents from thousands of years ago and found a number of records about giant beasts in these documents.

Regardless of the veracity of these records, based on the plot that Shen Yun knows, Power Beasts can disguise themselves as humans or tools.

For example, the black and white bears can transform into two human children, and the barking giraffe can disguise itself as an ordinary crane.

With such disguise, even if you walk right up to them, you might not be able to recognize them.

Not to mention, these powerful beasts are constantly moving, which makes them even more difficult to find.

Only something like the Fang-Barking Elephant, which has slumbered in one place for thousands of years, could possibly be found by Shen Yun.

"Tidom, I've found a place that might have a Power Beast. Let's head there now." Shen Yun walked out of the lab and called out to Tidom, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, hugging a panda plushie and happily playing a console game.

"Huh? Really?" Upon hearing this, Tidom's pretty face lit up with surprise. She quickly paused the game to save it, then tossed the game controller aside, put on her bunny slippers, picked up the panda plushie in her arms, and ran upstairs.

"Shen Jun, wait for me a moment, I'll go change my clothes first."

Shen Yun couldn't help but smile as he looked at the off-white silk pajamas that Tidom was wearing.

Hmm, it seems he's turned Tidom into a shut-in.

Well, that's fine too.

Soon, Tidom changed into her plain white priestess outfit, slipped on her slippers, and hurried downstairs, asking, "Shen-kun, are the headdress and jewels I entrusted to you still with you?"

"Yes, they are." Shen Yun took out the headdress and breast ornament that Tidom had entrusted to him for safekeeping and returned them to Tidom.

Tidom took the headdress and chest ornament from Shen Yun and put them on, regaining his dignified appearance from their first meeting. He said, "Alright, let's set off, Lord Shen."

"Yes, this is where we're going." Shen Yun nodded, took out a map, and pointed to the name of Lai En Temple marked on the map.

"In a temple?" Tidom asked in surprise.

"Yes, according to the records I found, Laien Temple enshrines a sacred pearl and a scroll that recorded the story of a giant animal that fought alongside a hero to defeat a demon a thousand years ago," Shen Yun nodded and explained.

The legend of Lai En Temple is not something he made up; there are real legends about it.

"A sacred jewel? Could it be the Fang Gem?! Let's hurry and set off!" Upon hearing this, Tidom eagerly grabbed Shen Yun's hand and ran towards Turtle Rock outside the villa.

Upon entering Turtle Rock, Tidom released Shen Yun's hand and raised his hand towards the spiraling rock in the center of the Sacred Spring that emitted a fluorescent glow.

A fluorescent light flashed across the surface of the spiral rock, and the entire Turtle Rock began to rumble and fly straight up, heading towards Lai En Temple marked on the map.

Guiyan flew very fast, and in just a few minutes, it flew to the deep mountains where Laien Temple was located.

"Splash!"

The waterfall in the mountain stream, like a silver ribbon, falls from a great height and crashes into the clear spring below, making a gurgling sound. The splashing water wets the mountain path, making it slightly slippery.

"Ah~ the environment here is really beautiful." Tidom exclaimed, gazing at the lush forest and the cascading waterfall before him.

As the Gao priestess, she, like Powermon, has a great love for nature.

"If Tidom really likes it, once the world is at peace again, I'll fund the purchase of this mountain and build a shrine to the powerful beast on it. Tidom can then become the shrine's priestess. What do you think?" Shen Yun suggested with a smile, looking at the excited Tidom.

"The shrine maiden..." A hint of interest flashed across Tidom's pretty face, but she ultimately shook her head, saying, "I'm afraid that won't work. When a shrine maiden isn't on a mission, she must enter a long slumber. When world peace is restored, I'll probably enter Turtle Rock to continue my slumber until Orgu reappears."

Tidom's voice was somewhat downcast; this was a mission and responsibility she could not shirk as the Barbed Witch.

"Really? But there's something strange," Shen Yun asked, feigning ignorance.

"Huh? That's strange. Why do you say that?" Tidom asked, puzzled.

"You told me this before, right? The Purple Granny of Tidom was the previous priestess. Logically speaking, after she guided the previous generation of Gaolangers to destroy Orgu, she should have entered Turtle Rock to sleep. But why is it that after sleeping for a thousand years, the one who came to this era is you, and not your Purple Granny?" Shen Yun pointed out the key point.

"Yes, yes." Tidom was taken aback; it seemed to make sense.

"I suspect this isn't a strict requirement. Tidom could learn from your Grandma Zi," Shen Yun said, trying to manipulate him.

"If he really goes to sleep in Turtle Rock, then Tidom will never be able to eat any new delicacies or play any more fun games again, right? That would be too pitiful."

"This...this isn't quite right. This is my duty and mission as a priestess..." Tidom was very tempted.

"What does it matter? That's what Grandma Zi, whom you admire, does too." Shen Yun uttered a devilish whisper.

"Um..." Tidom couldn't speak.

Yes, that's what Granny Zi does, so there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with me copying her.

Seeing that Tidom was deep in thought, Shen Yun didn't say anything more.

He knew the principle that too much of a good thing can be bad. In any case, he had already made his point clear, and all that was left was for Tidom to understand, and the matter would be perfectly resolved.

If you swing the hoe well, no wall is too big to dig down, hehehe.

I apologize to all my readers. I feel like I've hit a creative block lately, like I've completely forgotten how to write. I write a little, then delete, and after a whole day of stumbling and struggling, I can only manage a little over a thousand words that I'm reasonably satisfied with. I'll try my best to adjust and resume normal updates starting tomorrow.
