Chapter 447 The Unawakened Fanged Elephant's Ideas for the Beast King Sword; The Unique Charcoal Burning Orgu

"Excellent!" Tidom, gazing at the reflection of the Fang-Barking Orb in the Sacred Spring, excitedly stood up. He quickly ran to Shen Yun, handing him the stone sphere he was holding, saying, "With the Fang-Barking Orb, as long as we find the slumbering Fang-Barking Elephant, we can awaken it. Then, Shen Jun will surely gain the Fang-Barking Elephant's approval and become a Fang-Barking Ranger!"

She was genuinely happy for Shen Yun.

But the next moment, as if she had thought of something, the joy on Tidom's pretty face vanished, replaced by a hint of frustration. She sighed, "But the description of the slumbering place of the tusked elephant on the scroll is far too vague. The southern area is so vast, how are we supposed to find it!"

"I might know the place where the Fanged Elephant slumbers," Shen Yun said with a smile, watching Tidom's constantly changing expression.

"Huh? Really?" Tidom exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course." Shen Yun pulled up a map, located the location of Woxiang Mountain, and said, "According to the literature and folk tales I found online, there are folk legends about Woxiang Mountain. In the legend, Woxiang Mountain is the hiding place of a giant elephant that once fought off monsters with the heroes. It is a mountain that the giant elephant transformed into. The Fang-Barking Elephant may be sleeping here."

"Wow, that's amazing! This thing called the Internet. It was able to find the resting place of the Fanged Elephant so quickly!" Tidom exclaimed in amazement.

"Gathering information is just the simplest application of the internet. If Tidom wants to learn, I can teach you how to surf the internet when we get back. The internet is really fun, you know," Shen Yun said with a slight smile, enticingly.

"Okay," Tidom agreed with a grin, unsuspecting, then said impatiently, "Let's get going!"

"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 across the surface of the spiral rock, and the Turtle Rock began to rumble and then flew straight toward the direction of Sleeping Elephant Mountain.

Before long, Guiyan flew to Woxiang Mountain and then slowly landed on an open space.

"How desolate this place is." Tidom, holding the stone ball, emerged from Turtle Rock and gazed at the Reclining Elephant Mountain, a landscape of yellow earth with hardly any greenery, and asked doubtfully, "Is the Fanged Elephant really here?"

"In any case, let's try to awaken the Fanged Elephant with prayer first," Shen Yun said.

To be honest, the only thing he valued most was the scroll that hadn't been burned yet.

But the contents really disappointed Shen Yun.

As for waking up the tusked elephant...

He didn't have high expectations; he was just trying his luck.

"Hmm!" Tidom nodded, picked up the stone ball, and then slowly closed his eyes, silently praying.

"A barking elephant!"

As Tidom prayed, the patterns on the surface of the stone sphere she held in her hands suddenly lit up with a green light, which quickly enveloped the entire sphere, and a series of elephant-like sounds emanated from it.

Soon, the green light enveloping the stone sphere dissipated, and a crystal-clear Fang Bark Pearl landed in Tidhom's palm.

"It's a success!" Tidom opened his eyes, looking at the Fanged Orb of the Fanged Elephant in his palm, and exclaimed in delight.

After saying that, Tidom picked up the Fang Bark Pearl that had fallen into his palm, intending to hand it over to Shen Yun, when the Fang Bark Pearl suddenly lit up with a green light.

But the next moment, the bright green light detached from the Fang Gem, circled in mid-air several times, and then crashed into the cliff face in front of them.

The once smooth cliff face, after being struck by this green light, began to rise in the shape of a giant elephant amidst a series of elephant bellows.

"Eh~ How could this be?!" Tidom looked at the outline of the giant elephant on the cliff face and said in disappointment.

"Couldn't it be awakened?" Shen Yun asked, his heart sinking as he looked at the outline of the giant elephant rising from the cliff.

"Yes, the Fang-Barking Elephant and the Fang-Barking Orb have been separated for too long. The Fang-Barking Orb alone is no longer enough to awaken the Fang-Barking Elephant. To awaken the Fang-Barking Elephant, we must use the Beast King Sword to play its melodies." Tidom nodded, looking dejected.

They finally found a powerful beast, but couldn't wake it up.

"As expected..." Shen Yun thought to himself as he looked at the outline on the cliff face that was beginning to disappear.

To awaken the powerful beast that has been dormant for thousands of years, we still need the Beast King Sword.

Shen Yun had already anticipated this, so he wasn't particularly disappointed.

This actually confirmed one of his guesses.

To awaken the slumbering Mighty Beast, the Beast King Sword is essential.

In that case, he can only wait until six months later, when Fanghuang joins the team, and then borrow Fanghuang's Beast King Sword to conduct research.

Perhaps he can replicate the functions of the Beast King Sword?

Basically, it involves playing the sword's melody and then summoning the radish.

As long as the same timbre can be simulated, that's fine.

"Hiss, isn't this the Beast Song Sword?" Shen Yun's eyes lit up.

If he could replicate the Beast King Sword, he could even modify it into the Beast Song Sword.

At that time, simply play the beast-sword to summon the radish.

However, speaking of summoning radishes by playing the flute...

He remembered that the wolf demon's monster summoning also involved playing a wolf flute to summon a powerful beast.

Furthermore, every time the wolf demon appears, it plays a wolf flute to add background music for itself.

To be honest, he was definitely faking it, but he was also genuinely handsome.

Even after many years, Shen Yun still thinks that Wolf Ghost is the coolest villain.

The more Shen Yun thought about it, the more he felt that modifying the Beast Emperor Sword into the Beast Song Sword was a good idea.

When the wolf demon appeared, he and the wolf demon played their flutes together.

"However, Shen Jun, don't be discouraged! The scroll contains information about the whereabouts of other Power Beasts. As long as you can find those Power Beasts that are not asleep, you will definitely be able to gain their approval and become a Gaoranger!" Tidom comforted him.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun couldn't help but smile and said, "Alright, then I'll accept your kind words."

Of course, saying one thing and doing another.

It's clearly impossible to ask him to waste his time searching for those powerful beasts that aren't asleep.

This is such a waste of time; it's much easier to find the sleeping Powermon.

However, he certainly won't focus on finding Power Beast in the next six months.

After all, even if we find the sleeping Mighty Beast, we can't awaken it without the Beast King Sword. It's better to figure out the evil energy first.

"Should we continue searching for other powerful beasts?" Tidom asked.

"No rush, we can take our time finding the Power Beast." Shen Yun smiled and said, "It's getting late, let's head back first. I know a really good yakitori place in the downtown area."

The Shitamachi Ward typically refers to parts of Taito Ward, Sumida Ward, Katsushika Ward, Koto Ward, and Chuo Ward, including Asakusa, Oshiage, Mukojima, Fukagawa, Ueno, and Nippori.

These areas are all referred to as "Shitamachi" by Tokyoites.

The so-called "Shitamachi Ward" refers to the area where lower-ranking samurai and commoners lived together during the Edo period; it is also known as the old town or old streets.

"Huh? Really? Then I'll look forward to it!"

The two chatted and laughed as they walked into Turtle Rock.

Soon, the turtle-shaped rock slowly flew away from the open space of the Woxiang Mountain, turned around and flew towards Tokyo.

……

Tokyo, Asakusa.

Since the goal was to find charcoal to burn Orug, Shen Yun naturally made preparations in advance.

Shen Yun collected various information from the past fifty years since the birth of the charcoal-grilled oruk, and then used big data to calculate the most likely location for the charcoal-grilled oruk to appear—the Asakusa area.

Although it took a little time, Shen Yun still managed to find the skewer stall set up by the charcoal-grilled Oruko in Asakusa.

"Found it!" Shen Yun's eyes lit up when she saw the stall that was exactly the same as she remembered. She took Tidom's hand and led her over.

"It smells so good!" As Tidom approached the stall, he also smelled the rich aroma of barbecue in the air, and his mouth watered.

Upon arriving at the skewer stall, Shen Yun abruptly lifted the curtain, revealing a middle-aged man with a receding hairline, wearing a beige long shirt and a black and white polka-dot towel tied around his head.

"What are you looking at? Just say you're going to eat or not!" The charcoal grilling skewers, Orgu, looked at Shen Yun as he lifted the noh curtain and spoke up.

"I want to eat!" Tidom sniffed the aroma of barbecue 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's no menu. You eat whatever I grill," said Orgu, flipping the skewers on the grill.

"And the price?"

"Why are you babbling on and on? Sit down and finish your food before you talk," said Charcoal Grilled Orug impatiently.

Shen Yun chuckled; this charcoal-fired Orug was quite unique.

However, Shen Yun was not annoyed. He turned around and took a long bench from the table and chairs set up to the side. He placed it in front of the skewer stall set up by the charcoal grilling Orugu, and then sat down next to Tidom, waiting for the skewers grilled by Orugu.

Under the scorching heat of the glowing charcoal, the skewers on the grill began to ooze oil, dripping into the embers one by one, accompanied by wisps of smoke rising and releasing an enticing aroma.

Tidom stared intently at the skewers of grilled meat that Orug was turning over on the charcoal fire, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

It smells so good!

Charcoal-grilled Orug seemed to notice Tidom's longing gaze, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

As he turned the skewers, he sprinkled a little salt on them, then placed the grilled salt-baked shrimp and braised chicken meatballs on a plate and handed them to Shen Yun and Tidom, saying, "Please enjoy."

"Arigato!" Tidom's mouth was already watering from the aroma. He couldn't wait to pick up the salt-grilled shrimp in front of him and take a small bite.

Grilled shrimp have a firm, bouncy texture, are juicy and flavorful, and have a subtle aroma of charcoal.

Fresh ingredients don't need many seasonings; just a sprinkle of salt is enough to bring out their original, fresh flavor.

"Mmm! It's so delicious! The owner's cooking is amazing!" Tidom was captivated by the taste of the skewers after just one bite, praising them as he ate.

"Hahaha! Eat more if you like it! Here, this meal is on me!" Charcoal Grilled Orug laughed when he heard Tidom's praise. He put all the grilled skewers on the grill into a plate and then placed it in front of Shen Yun and Tidom.

"Huh?! That's not a good idea." Upon hearing this, Tidom quickly waved his hand and said.

"I don't charge people who appreciate my taste. Eat as much as you like!" Charcoal Grilled Orug patted his chest and said with a smile.

"Yes, yes! Boss, you're such a good person!" Tidom nodded repeatedly.

Seeing how happily Tidom was eating, Shen Yun also picked up a skewer of braised chicken meatballs and took a bite.

The salty-sweet sauce coats the crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside chicken meatballs, perfectly balancing the oiliness of the meatballs. The crunchy cartilage fragments inside the meatballs also add a chewy texture, resulting in an excellent taste.

Although they were just ordinary chicken meatballs, they tasted better than the grilled skewers he had eaten at high-end Japanese restaurants.

Charcoal-grilled Orug stood in front of the grill, fanning the charcoal with a small fan while smiling at Tidom's happy face.

The cassette player on the handcart was playing old songs from the Showa era. The soft, melodious singing made this somewhat secluded corner feel as if it had returned to the Showa era.

"Phew~ I'm so full!" Tidom put down the wooden skewer in his hand, patted his slightly bulging belly, and said with a satisfied look.

Seeing that Tidom had finished eating, Shen Yun put down the wooden skewer in his hand, looked up at the charcoal-grilled Orug, and said, "Let's talk, Orug the charcoal-grilled."

Upon hearing this, Oruk, who was skewering ingredients with wooden sticks, also had a sudden change in expression.

"Huh? Orug? The boss? No way!" Tidom exclaimed.

"How did you know?" Charcoal-grilled Orug didn't deny it, but looked at Shen Yun with a serious expression and asked.

The name Orlugu is not something that ordinary people would know.

"There have always been urban legends about you in the downtown area, and with some eyewitnesses uploading blurry photos to the internet, it's not difficult to find out your identity," Shen Yun said.

"I see. You must be the Gaorangers, right? Are you here to take my life?" Charcoal-grilled Oruk asked.

"No, I never kill innocent people indiscriminately." Shen Yun shook his head and analyzed seriously, "I have investigated you. Apart from causing a scene at the Asakusa festival in the autumn of Showa 21, you have not carried out any other destructive activities."

"In the more than forty years that followed, although you occasionally appeared, you mostly frightened people and there were no cases of you hurting anyone, so you can be considered a harmless type."

"Huh?! Was this also found out through an online survey?" Tidom exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right." Shen Yun nodded with a smile, then looked at the charcoal-grilled Oruk and continued, "And according to the urban legends circulating in the downtown area, you only reveal your true form out of anger when your cooking skills are criticized or when customers have leftovers."

"Amazing! You were right about everything. Are all the Gaorangers this strong now?" Charcoal-grilled Oruk said with a wry smile.

"Times are changing, aren't you the same, Uncle? It's quite incredible that you, as an Orgu, could suppress your destructive impulses and become a human chef living in the human world," Shen Yun said with a smile.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you so politely, Uncle."

"Haha, I never thought it would be my past self who saved me." Charcoal-grilled Orug laughed heartily, then looked at Shen Yun with interest and asked, "Young man, what do you want to talk to me about?"

I've written several thousand words of discarded drafts these past few days. This plot is driving me crazy. I reckon things will be a bit smoother once I finish writing the story about researching evil energy and start writing the story about Yabo Yellow, Yabo White, and Yabo Blue joining the team.
