Chapter 194 Summoning the Dragon
Chapter 194 Summoning the Dragon
In the Namekian sky, Krillin was speeding at full speed, silently chanting in his mind, "Faster, faster. I hope the Elder is still alive, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain."
Suddenly, as if sensing something, Klin abruptly stopped, turned his head to look to his right, and muttered to himself, "Why is there an aura there, and why does it seem so familiar..." After hesitating for a moment, Klin finally decided to go and investigate. He turned around decisively and flew off in that direction.
As he drew closer, Klin looked closely and was pleasantly surprised to find it was Dandy. His face lit up with joy, and he excitedly shouted, "Dandy!"
At that moment, Dandy was also searching the air for any trace of Klin and the others. Hearing someone call his name, Dandy quickly stopped and looked back.
Because Krillin was facing the backlight, the intense light made it difficult for Dandy to see his face clearly. He only saw that Krillin was dressed as a soldier of Frieza's army, and Dandy was startled and turned to run away.
Seeing this, Klin quickly shouted, "Dandy, don't run! It's me, Klin!"
Upon hearing this, Dandy paused, hesitated, and turned around again. This time, he finally saw Klin's face clearly and exclaimed excitedly, "Klin!"
Klin was equally excited and replied, "Dandy!"
The two ran towards each other and embraced tightly.
Dandy exclaimed excitedly, "Great! I've finally found you!"
Klin asked, "Dandy, what are you doing here? I'm in a hurry to find the Grand Elder."
Dandy replied, "The Grand Elder sent me to find you. By the way, what do you want with the Grand Elder?"
Klin hesitated for a moment, then asked, "The Grand Elder wouldn't have already..."
Dandy quickly replied, "It shouldn't be yet, but the Grand Elder is about to collapse, which is why he sent me to find you."
Krillin continued, "Dandy, we've collected all the Dragon Balls, but for some reason we can't summon Shenron or grant our wishes."
Dandy explained, “This is why the Grand Elder sent me to find you. The code to summon Shenron must be spoken in Namek.”
Klin asked doubtfully, "Is that so? The Grand Elder is really stingy. Why didn't he tell us before?"
Dandy replied, "Because even the Grand Elder didn't expect you to actually be able to collect all seven Dragon Balls."
After listening, Klin said anxiously, "Alright then, let's hurry up and fulfill our wish!"
Dandy nodded in agreement, "Okay! Let's go! Frieza might be catching up soon!" With that, the two of them sped off towards Shang Yun and the others.
……
Outside Frieza's spaceship, Gohan sat bored on the Dragon Ball, his hands supporting his head, muttering to himself, "Even if Uncle Krillin is fast, it will still take two hours to get from here to the Grand Elder and back. What if Frieza comes back during that time?"
Just then, Gohan noticed a toad desperately pushing a Dragon Ball. The Dragon Ball was enormous, and despite the toad's best efforts, it wouldn't budge. After a struggle, the toad, panting heavily, leaned against the Dragon Ball to rest. As soon as it looked up, it met Gohan's gaze, and startled, it leaped up and hid behind the Dragon Ball. Seeing no further movement, it cautiously peeked out again.
At that moment, Son Gohan was staring at the toad with great curiosity. After a while, he asked, "Aren't you the villain who swapped bodies with my dad?"
Upon hearing this, the toad was so frightened that it quickly shrank its head back.
Son Gohan continued, "Stop hiding, it's definitely you. Now that you've turned into this, let's see how you do evil in the future!" After saying that, he reached out and fiddled with the Dragon Ball.
Seeing that it had been exposed and daring not to resist, the toad could only hop away in a panic.
On the other side, Shang Yun was sitting cross-legged by the lake, watching with great interest as Son Gohan teased the toad. Seeing that the toad had run far away, he casually grabbed another toad from the lake and threw it at the fleeing one.
The two toads collided in mid-air, and coincidentally, the one Shang Yun threw was the female toad. Upon impact, the female toad seemed to develop a liking for the toad possessed by Ginyu. Ginyu noticed the female toad's feelings and, frightened, turned and desperately jumped away, with the female toad hot on his heels.
Shang Yun watched the farcical chase between the two toads and exchanged a smile with Son Gohan.
Suddenly, the two sensed two powerful presences rapidly approaching. Shang Yun flashed and instantly landed beside Son Gohan, and the two instinctively shielded the Dragon Balls behind them.
Son Gohan looked nervous and said, "Godfather, two auras are approaching, and they are very strong."
Shang Yun's expression was solemn. He nodded slightly, pondering to himself, "Could it be Krillin? But why are there two people's auras? This aura isn't evil, and it feels somewhat similar to Krillin's." He couldn't help but voice his doubts.
Gohan looked puzzled and added, "Besides, Uncle Krillin shouldn't be back so soon."
As the two were talking, the aura suddenly vanished. Gohan asked in a panic, "Godfather, the aura has disappeared! What should we do now?"
Shang Yun comforted him, "It's alright. Judging from the aura just now, it shouldn't be Frieza's people. Let's wait and see, maybe it really is Krillin who has returned."
Sun Wukong wanted to say something more, but Shang Yun interrupted him. Shang Yun said in a low voice, "They're here."
Hearing Shang Yun's words, Son Gohan immediately looked up at the sky. He saw Krillin and Dende. Son Gohan excitedly shouted, "Uncle Krillin, you're back! Dende, what are you doing here?"
Dende and Gohan hugged each other excitedly. Shang Yun also flew over, greeted Dende, and then asked Krillin, "Krillin, what happened? Why are you back so soon? And why is Dende here too?"
Klin explained, “I ran into Dende on the way. Dende was sent by the Grand Elder to tell us the secret code to summon Shenron. Apparently, we have to use Namekian to summon Shenron.”
Upon hearing this, Shang Yun was overjoyed: "Great! Let's summon the dragon right away!"
Krillin then asked, "Where's Vegeta?"
Gohan replied, "Vegeta said he hasn't slept since he came to this planet, and he's going to sleep now."
Krillin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "That's great. I wanted to avoid him, so I hid my ki far away. That way, we can secretly move the Dragon Balls to other islands to fulfill our wishes."
Shang Yun's eyes lit up, and he said, "This is a fantastic idea, let's get started!"
So the four of them landed on the ground, carefully picked up the Dragon Ball, and flew towards a nearby island. Upon arriving on the island, they gently placed the Dragon Ball down and stood in a row around it.
Klin looked at Dandy and said, "Dandy, begin summoning Shenron."
Dandy responded softly, then fixed his gaze firmly on the Dragon Ball, chanting, "Boom blah blah blah... Boom blah blah blah... Boom blah blah blah blah blah..."
However, after Dende finished reciting the instructions, the Dragon Balls remained motionless. Krillin, growing anxious, couldn't help but ask, "What's going on? Why aren't the Dragon Balls responding?"
Just as Krillin finished speaking, Gohan suddenly shouted excitedly, "Look, the Dragon Balls are glowing!"
Krillin quickly looked down and, sure enough, the Dragon Balls began to emit a faint light, and at the same time, the sky gradually darkened.
Shang Yun remarked with a sigh, "Just like when we summoned the dragon on Earth."
Krillin turned to Dende and asked, "Dende, did Namek also summon Shenron?"
Dandy replied, "Yes, our Namekian dragon, which we call Porunga, is the god of dreams and hope."
As they were talking, the Dragon Ball's light grew stronger and stronger, so bright that everyone's eyes were blinded, and they quickly covered their eyes with their hands.
