I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Upon hearing King Dorefan's words, Yuhaka requested some fish that was only available in the Zora tribe's territory. To be honest, King Dorefan was surprised to hear that Yuhaka only wanted this, but in the end, he agreed to Yuhaka's request.

...................................................................

After defeating the Water Beast V. Ruta, Yuhaka, whose Dimensional Cave contained a large amount of Zora territory specialties, was preparing to head to his next destination: the territory of the Goron tribe in the volcanic region northeast of Hyrule.

On his way to the territory of the Gulong tribe, Yuhaka encountered quite a few monsters, but these small fry posed no threat other than providing him with materials. Yuhaka then arrived at a tower near a volcano. Because the temperature there was extremely hot, many flammable things would ignite instantly. However, Yuhaka didn't have to worry about this problem because of the Biscotti Hero's Clothing he was wearing. After all, it was a hero's outfit, and its durability was very high. Of course, if he jumped into the lava, it would still burn.

After climbing to the top of a tower called Ordin, Ehaka placed the Sheikah Stone on the device at the top of the tower. Ehaka then obtained a map of the area around the volcano. Just as Ehaka was about to descend, he looked up at the enormous creature slowly crawling on the volcano in the distance. It looked like a giant lizard. Without a doubt, that thing was the Fire God Beast [Rudanil].

Although the divine beast Rudanil on the volcano is not very obvious when viewed from the tower, once you get to Rudanil, it's basically no different from a large building.

Then Yuhaka jumped down from the tower, opened his paraglider, and headed towards the territory of the Gulong tribe. Along the way, he encountered some traveling merchants and sold them the equipment he had obtained from robbing the Pokoblins. In return, he bought a large amount of seasonings and other items from them.

The volcanic region of the Gulong tribe is extremely hot. Yuhaka, wearing only a Biscotti Warrior outfit, inevitably attracts a lot of attention as he moves through the scorching heat. Meanwhile, after encountering the Gulong tribe at a mining site, Yuhaka inquires about the location of their territory.

Although the appearance of the Gulong tribe is somewhat similar to that of humans, their appearance is quite comical. Men, women, and children are basically shaped like a round gourd with four limbs, with round eyes and something like a tortoise shell on their backs. However, their tribe seems to be very resistant to heat, and they do not seem to be scorched by the heat even near lava.

Chapter 616 [Gulong City and the Gulong Tribe]

After Yuhaka inquired about the territory of the Gulong tribe from them, he headed towards the location of Gulong City, as the Gulong tribe had described. On the way, Yuhaka encountered a situation that resembled a rain of fire falling from the sky, but his agile speed allowed him to easily dodge it.

After dodging the sudden downpour of fire, Yuhaka continued his journey towards Gulong City. Just as Yuhaka was about to reach Gulong City, a deep roar suddenly came from afar.

"————————!!"

Yuhaka looked up at Rudanil, the fire-divine beast, walking on the distant volcano. Although he didn't know why Rudanil was walking on the volcano, Yuhaka just thought it was very noisy.

Soon, upon arriving at the gates of the Gulong tribe's city, Yuhaka encountered a Gulong guard on duty. Seeing Yuhaka approach, the guard looked at him with surprise and said:

"Hey, a customer has arrived? By the way, are you alright, gulong?"

Hearing the guard's words, Yuhaka looked at the guard with an "OwO?" expression, then checked himself over and, finding no injuries, said to the guard:

"No injuries!"

Yuhaka's answer seemed to relieve the guard, who said:

"Oh, that's great! Because of that volcanic bomb, there have been fewer visitors to Gulong City lately, and everyone has become quite idle. By the way, what brings you to a place like this, Gulong?"

Hearing the guard's words, Yuhaka also reached out and said:

“Investigate the mythical beasts... and buy the seasoning powder from the Gulong tribe.”

The so-called Gulong tribe seasoning powder is similar to the curry powder specially made by the Meru cats in Yuhaka's territory, except that the ingredients used in the two are from different places. After hearing Yuhaka's words, the Gulong tribe guards looked at Yuhaka with a troubled expression and said:

"I didn't know you were saying this to me so suddenly, Gulong... If you want to know more, go visit our leader, Gulong. Also, if you need Gulong's special seasoning powder, you can buy it at the shops in the city."

Yuhaka then arrived at Gulong City, built by the Gulong tribe. Unlike the exquisite buildings in the territory of the Zhora tribe, most of the buildings in Gulong City were simply holes carved into the rocks or caves made of piled rocks, appearing very rough. This was probably due to the geographical environment and the aesthetics of the Gulong tribe, which led them to build houses in the way described above.

However, the rock houses and caves built by the Gulong people are very sturdy. After arriving in Gulong City, Yuhaka met a Gulong guide who took him around the city and told him about the shops and local specialties. The most common local specialties in Gulong City are various minerals and gems, Gulong-made seasonings, fire retardants, and fireproof gear. Although the latter two are not very useful to the Gulong people, they are very important to travelers visiting Gulong City.

After all, other races are unlikely to be as heat-resistant as the Gulong tribe. Of course, Yuhaka's physique is even stronger than that of the Gulong tribe. With his current physique, swimming in lava is not a problem for Yuhaka.

After the Gulong guide led Youhaka on a tour of Gulong City, Youhaka headed to the residence of the Gulong chieftain, Burdo. Upon arriving at Burdo's dwelling, Youhaka saw an elderly Gulong man with a single eye patch, a white beard, and white hair, stomping his feet angrily and saying:

"Damn it! That bastard Rudanil!"

Seeing the old man from the Gulong tribe looking very angry, Yuhaka looked at Burdo with a puzzled expression and asked:

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's question, the Gulong elder immediately explained to Yuhaka why he was angry:

"Recently, due to Rudanil's increasing rage, the eruptions of the Death Mountain (i.e., the volcano) have become more frequent."

As the old man from the Gulong tribe spoke, he pointed to Rudanil on the volcano and said:

"Rudanil is that big guy over there. It's said that he was our guardian spirit 100 years ago... Now, because of that guy, we can't mine, and we've lost a lot of customers. It's a real headache."

"I always have to use cannons to drive him to the crater, but now he's escaped again!!"

Burdo, looking angry, clenched his fists and stomped his feet. With a cracking sound, Burdo clutched his waist as if he had twisted it, crying out, "It hurts..." Seeing this, Yuhaka's tail stood up in fright, looking like it was in pain.

Yuhaka asked how Burdo was doing, and Burdo complained of a bit of back pain. But then, Burdo looked at Yuhaka with a puzzled expression and said:

"Huh? By the way... who are you?"

Hearing Bouldo's question, Yuhaka also raised her little hand and said:

"Youyou is just Youyou, OwO~"

Hearing Yuhaka's words, Burdo scratched his bald head and looked at Yuhaka with a puzzled expression, saying:

"Uh... really... you came all this way to say hello?!"

Then, Burdo, adopting a stern expression, looked at Yuhaka and said loudly:

"My name is Boulder! I'm Boulder, the boss of the Koulong Group who scares kids so much they don't dare make a sound!"

Then, Burdo, looking like he was in back pain, looked at Yuhaka and said:

"I need to get rid of Rudanil now, but my back hurts so much... But why hasn't Yuan come back yet?"

Hearing Burdo's words, Yuhaka looked at Burdo with a puzzled expression and asked:

"Who is A-Yuan?"

When asked about Yuhaka's question, Burdo replied that Ayuan was a young man from the Gulong tribe who usually helped him drive away Rudanier. However, he had gone to the abandoned northern mine to get painkillers for Yuhaka's back pain, but had not returned yet, which puzzled Burdo. He suspected that Ayuan had gone off somewhere to slack off.

Chapter 617【Ah Yuan】

Upon hearing Buldo's words, Yuhaka also wore a (☆w☆)! expression, as if she had heard some kind of mission request. So Yuhaka raised her little hand and said to Buldo:

"Youyou, go find~ that Ayuan OwO~"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Burdo looked at Yuhaka with a surprised expression and said:

"Huh? You're still a child, aren't you?"

With a serious expression, Bouldo stood with his hands on his hips and looked at Yuhaka, saying:

"There are plenty of monsters in the abandoned mines to the north, and that bastard Rudanil's volcanic bombs will also rain down from the sky!"

Hearing what Buldo said, Yuhaka puffed out his cheeks, looking a little angry. After all, Yuhaka was also very angry to find himself being looked down upon. No matter what, Ji Lin never treated him like a child (actually, he was just trying to coax him), but the old man in front of him actually treated him like a child.

Then Yuhaka demonstrated to the old man from the Gulong tribe named Burdo what it means to split a boulder with bare hands.

.................................................. ......................

Amidst the stunned and aching expressions of old man Burdo, Yuhaka walked out with a smug look on his face. Burdo, on the other hand, stared wide-eyed at the boulder that had been split in two. To be honest, he hadn't expected that an unknown race that looked like a child could split the boulder in two, and the shock made his back pain flare up.

"Hiss... Who is that little girl? But that thing around her neck looks kind of familiar?"

Then the pain in his lower back forced Boulder to shift his attention to his back.

Yuhaka left Gulong City and went north. On the way, Yuhaka encountered Gulong guards responsible for protecting that area. At first, the Gulong guards stopped Yuhaka from going to the abandoned mine in the north, because it was very dangerous there. In addition to the monsters, the volcanic terrain and the volcanic bombs caused by the divine beast Rudanil were also very dangerous. It was not suitable for a child like Yuhaka to play there.

Hearing the words of the Gulong tribe guard, Yuhaka was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't care too much. Instead, he told the Gulong tribe guard that Burdo had asked him to go find Ayuan. When he heard that it was Burdo, the leader, who had asked Yuhaka to go find Ayuan, the Gulong tribe guard was so frightened that his eyes almost popped out.

Then, the Gulong tribe guard told Yuhaka A Yuan's location without saying a word and made way for him, which shows how much credibility Boss Burdo has among the Gulong tribe.

After saying goodbye to the Gulong tribe guard, Yuhaka continued his journey to the abandoned mines to the north. On the way, Yuhaka encountered a strange creature, a monster that looked like an octopus, but it didn't look very appetizing.

Upon arriving at the abandoned mine in the north, Yuhaka encountered another guard from the Gulong tribe. After relaying Burdo's words to him, Yuhaka learned Ayuan's location. According to the Gulong guard, Ayuan was currently in a storage room in the abandoned mine in the north, but for some reason, Ayuan had not returned yet.

Upon hearing the words of the Gulong tribe guards, Yuhaka tilted his head in confusion, thinking that Ayuan might have encountered some trouble since he hadn't returned yet.

In fact, it's pretty much what Yhaka thought...

On the scorching Death Mountain, Yuhaka encountered many monsters. For those monsters that used slow, deliberate attacks like fireballs, Yuhaka retaliated with a different attack.

That is to throw the bomb like a baseball, and the bomb thrown by Yuhaka is like a cannonball fired from an artillery shell.

Those simple buildings constructed on volcanic rocks were instantly reduced to ashes by Yhaka's attack.

After defeating the annoying enemy, Yuhaka continued his search for Ayuan. Soon, Yuhaka saw a cry for help coming from a cave blocked by stones. So Yuhaka threw away the stones and saw a young man from the Gulong tribe curled up in place like a turtle, not moving at all.

Hearing the sound of stones being moved behind him, he noticed a little girl throwing a stone, and he was immediately dumbfounded.

After seeing Yuhaka move the stone blocking the cave entrance, the young man from the Gulong tribe looked at Yuhaka with a surprised expression and said:

"Huh?! Who, who are you, Gulong?"

Hearing the words of the young man from the Gulong tribe, Yuhaka also raised his little hand and said:

"Youyou is just Youyou~"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's reply, the young man from the Gulong tribe looked at Yuhaka with great gratitude and said:

"Youyou? By the way, did you help me move these rocks blocking the hole? Thank you so much, Gulong!"

Then, the young man from the Gulong tribe seemed to remember something, looked at Youhaka, scratched his head, and said:

"Uh... come to that point, what are you doing here, guh?"

Regarding the question from the young man from the Gulong tribe, Youhaka explained that she had come to find Ayuan on Burdo's orders. Upon hearing Youhaka's words, the young man from the Gulong tribe looked at Youhaka with an expression of understanding and said:

"Oh, is that so! So it was the boss who asked you to come find me?"

A relieved, A-Yuan looked at Yuhaka and said:

"Phew... Anyway, at least I'm saved..."

After a brief self-introduction, A-Yuan explained that when she came to get the painkillers for the boss, the entrance to the cave was destroyed by volcanic bombs from the eruption, leaving her trapped.

A-Yuan looked at Yuhaka with obvious surprise and said:

"But speaking of which, Youyou, you're really strong! You threw those big rocks away so easily. You're amazing!"

Upon hearing A-Yuan's words, Yuhaka also put on a poof expression and said:

"Youyou is so strong~OwO"

Hearing what Yuhaka said, Ayuan looked bewildered. However, now was not the time to chat, as Ayuan needed to return the painkillers to Boss Burdo.

Chapter 618 [Don't stop, Moriblin!]

After Yuhaka and Ayuan returned to Gulong City, Ayuan gave the painkillers to Boss Burdo, and Boss Burdo felt much better afterward. At the same time, Boss Burdo also heard from Ayuan about how Yuhaka helped Ayuan get out of trouble, and Boss Burdo gave him some things as a reward.

Meanwhile, Yuhaka also learned from Boss Buldo that they relied on A-Yuan, who possessed the "Guardian of Darkel," to "harden" and then used A-Yuan to smash Rudanil away. Incidentally, A-Yuan's Guardian of Darkel is something that can generate an energy shield around the user, which is why Boss Buldo used A-Yuan as a cannonball. Otherwise, ordinary cannonballs would have little effect on Rudanil.

"Alright, enough of this small talk. Let's get rid of Rudanil—ugh..."

As he spoke, Burdo assumed a fighting stance. Just then, Yuhaka heard a familiar cracking sound from Burdo's body. Burdo clutched his back, feigning pain and crying out, "It hurts!" Yuhaka tilted his head and looked at Burdo, saying:

"Manly OwO?"

"It's alright... no way, traveler! Hiss... it seems I can't go today either... traveler, could you please tell A-Yuan that it's on hold today? A-Yuan should be at the Ordin Bridge."
