Digimon: I really didn't want to be the Digimon Emperor!

It was this canyon stream that stopped the fleeing army, and the pursuing army also surrounded their prey here, finally leading to a fierce battle between the two armies.

The pursuing side is the Savage Beast Legion, while the fleeing side is the Mischievous Monkey Beast Legion.

The number of savage beast legions far exceeds that of the macaque beasts.

However, in the canyon stream, the mischievous monkeys that instinctively rely on their agile bodies to move through the trees have no place to use their skills in this canyon. They can only use the rocks by the river as cover and use huge slingshots to launch fist-sized rocks in retaliation.

"Whoosh—Bang!" A rock struck the charging savage beast precisely, splitting its skull open.

Cheng Yuan crouched down and looked down, secretly marveling. He was familiar with this skill; the injured Naughty Monkey in the team had used this move to help him escape danger, possessing the skill of hitting the target from a hundred paces away.

I've seen many Digimon before, such as at DigiCenters or outposts, but this kind of large-scale battle is truly shocking. The battles I usually see in the training grounds are just skirmishes, I've never seen such a bloody scene before.

Although there weren't thousands or tens of thousands of Digimon here, there were still several hundred. Looking around, the fireballs from the Wildlings flew everywhere, raining down on the other side as if they were free. Some Wildlings swung their clubs and used the [Goblin Assault] skill, braving the rain of stones fired by the Monkeymon to swing their clubs, trying to break through the defenses, but they were riddled with stones and returned defeated.

Some mischievous monkeys, after smashing their heads, use "prank rings" to tie the wild beasts up like dumplings, only to be met with a storm of hard stone bullets.

However, once the Savage Beast breaks through the defenses, it instantly becomes a meat grinder, launching attacks with clubs and fireballs. With the support of fireballs from the rear, it can wipe out a wave of Mischievous Monkey Beasts.

The Mischievous Monkey Beast Legion did not sit idly by. All sorts of stones were transformed into hard bullets in their hands, which were then fired through a huge slingshot that was as tall as the beast. The bullets, sparking from the friction with the air, fell like a meteor shower onto the savage beasts.

Among the mischievous monkey beast army, the most eye-catching is the Vajra in the very center!

Standing over three meters tall and covered in white fur, its right arm has evolved an energy cannon, which is the strongest response to the attacks of the savage beasts. Each energy cannon shot can blast an open space in the savage beast horde.

With a combination of speed and power, his explosively strong arms can sweep away several wild beasts with a single swing, and a single punch can easily take down a wild beast.

【King Kong】

[Data Type - Beastman Type]

[Maturity Stage]

[Skill: Powerful Strike, Energy Cannon]

[Description: Possessing arm strength capable of crushing anything and leg strength to shatter any hard object, it is a Power-type Digimon, yet its movements are surprisingly agile.]

The Vajra roared wildly, sweeping its giant arm and sending several more charging savage beasts flying. Then it frantically pounded its chest, its momentum unstoppable.

"Wow, so cool!" Cheng Yuan couldn't help but exclaim. Looking at the Vajra, he couldn't help but recall what he had said to his deskmate Zhao Lu during class, which successfully got the teacher to lead Zhao Lu into the office.

Do you know which animal is the quietest?

"What animal?"

"It's a gorilla."

Why?

"Because when a gorilla roars in anger, it can't help but tap its head..."

During class, Zhao Lu clutched her stomach and turned red in the face. The teacher thought she was having menstrual cramps and took her away.

Cheng Yuan couldn't help but chuckle. The little dog looked at him suspiciously. This animal trainer, why is he still daydreaming at a time like this?

But the next second, Cheng Yuan's smile froze—

A golden figure moved like a ghost through the savage beast camp.

It was a female Digimon wearing golden armor and a golden double-horned mask...?

This Digimon possesses the characteristics of a strong woman; its golden armor only covers sensitive and vital areas, and the exposed skin is covered with old scars, clearly indicating that it has been through countless battles.

If it weren't for its towering 2-meter height and wild aura, one would really mistake it for a human female.

"A female... savage beast?"

This is incredible! He recalled the intelligence from last night: the four major forces in Savage Valley are ruled by four mature Digimon, one of which is called "Golden Horn Beast," whose characteristics are similar to those of the person in front of him.

At the same time, Cheng Yuan also discovered that these wild beasts all had a small golden horn on their heads.

This mature humanoid Digimon is undoubtedly Goldhornmon, one of the rare mature evolutions of Wildmanmon. It is said that no other Goldhornmon has ever appeared in the Digiverse where other Wildmanmons are present.

"Could it be that the attackers of the savage monkey beasts are from the Golden Horned Beast tribe of the Savage Beast clan?" Cheng Yuan rubbed his eyes and quickly pulled out his Raptor to scan the area:

Golden Horned Beast

[Virus Type - Demon Type]

[Maturity Stage]

[Skills: Demon Burial (Seven-Star Golden Staff Strike), Raging Demon Fury (High-Voltage Electric Current), Lightning Demon Kick (Lightning Kick Technique)]

[Introduction: A Digimon with female characteristics, a lithe physique, and long green hair. She wears clothing reminiscent of figures from ancient Eastern mythology and wields a seven-star golden staff. Her overall design incorporates unique Eastern elements.]

The golden-horned beast on the battlefield was already bloodthirsty and in a frenzied state, letting countless meteor-like stone bullets pierce its golden armor and skin. It swung a spiked metal mace as tall as its eyebrows into a whirlwind, and wherever it passed, the mischievous monkey beasts were either killed or injured.

"That's too brutal..." Cheng Yuan's scalp tingled. The wretched monkeys that were hit were instantly reduced to data fragments, not a single corpse intact.

The fierce battle and the splattering digital blood seemed to be stimulating the Golden Horned Beast's nerves, and even though it was still being attacked by the Monkey Beast, it seemed to feel no pain.

It grabbed a savage monkey, tore it in half, and threw it aside.

The Vajra roared in fury and charged at the Golden Horned Beast like a runaway train. The savage beasts were smashed to pieces, but the colossal beast had only one target—

"Boom!" The two adult Digimon collided violently, and the shockwave overturned the surrounding sand and battle groups.

After the dust settled, Cheng Yuan saw a breathtaking scene: the Golden Horned Beast caught the giant fist of the Vajra Beast with its bare hands, and the two began to wrestle!

Time seemed to stand still.

"This woman is incredibly strong!" Cheng Yuan's jaw nearly dropped to the ground.

This is a battle between berserkers and savage behemoths.

Just as both sides were gradually exhausted, the Golden Horned Beast suddenly burst out with dazzling lightning! The high-voltage current of [Rage, Wrathful Ghost, Raging Blaze] instantly paralyzed its opponent.

【Rage, Wrathful Demon, Wrathful Blaze】—Releases high-voltage current from the entire body, which can be used to attack and paralyze enemies, making it an all-around skill that excels in both offense and defense.

Discharging electricity is practically a must-have for murder, arson, close combat, cheating, and home life.

Mahalmon was instantly paralyzed, and Magnamon seized the opportunity, delivering a beautiful Lightning Kick that sent Mahalmon flying into the air, followed by a devastating slam of its spiked club down with the force of Demon Burial!

"Bang!" The Vajra flew towards the mountainside like a cannonball, crashing squarely into the rock face near Cheng Yuan and embedding itself there.

"Holy crap!" Cheng Yuan quickly ducked his head as gravel rained down on him.

When he peeked out again, the battle had turned completely one-sided. The Monkeymon, having lost its leader, was in complete retreat, while the Goldenhornmon moved through the enemy ranks as if they were nothing.

Without high-end combat power to counter it, it inflicted heavy casualties on the Mischievous Monkey Beast Legion.

Cheng Yuan stared wide-eyed at the Vajra Beast that had almost hit him.

Cheng Yuan knew that the battles of mature beings were not something he should participate in. If his classmates appeared in this canyon, they would be the ones to die.

He turned to look at the Vajra embedded in the rock face. The giant beast was on its last legs, its body charred black, with a huge dent in its chest, and a digital halo began to encircle its body—a sign of impending death.

"Hide well, don't show your face!" Cheng Yuan whispered to the little dog beast, while he himself crawled along the ground like a gecko towards the king beast.

He carefully took out the digital collector and aimed it at the Vajra. A flash of blue light appeared, and the massive body gradually turned into data and was sucked into the device. The blue digital core, about the size of a grapefruit, fell to the ground and was quickly put into his backpack.

In the chaotic battlefield below, the bloodthirsty Golden Horned Beast suddenly came to its senses, stopped its lightning-fast kicks, and looked towards the mountainside.

The aura of Vajra... was gone, even the aura of death had vanished.

Chapter 49 Reporting the News

At the entrance of the cave, Zhao Lu paced back and forth, occasionally glancing into the deep jungle.

The cubs seemed to sense the tense atmosphere and huddled together obediently, except for the golden-haired black ball beast, which was still restlessly wriggling on the pangolin's back.

"It's been twenty minutes, why isn't Cheng Yuan back yet?" Zhao Lu checked the RNG machine for the third time, but there was still no signal. "I'm going to find him!"

"Are you crazy?" Kang Zhaodi grabbed her arm. "Your Gear Beast is an offensive type, not a speed type. If something happens, you won't be able to escape!" Kang Zhaodi said.

Wenrou held the trembling black ball beast in her arms, her voice shaking: "Could we have encountered a savage beast?"

"Squeak!" The injured monkey was equally restless, dragging its body, which was covered in bandages, and tried several times to rush into the jungle.

Just as the fishy market was filled with the sounds of rustling leaves, a series of hurried footsteps came from deep within the jungle.

Cheng Yuan and the little dog rushed out, tumbling and crawling, as if they were being chased by a demon.

"Quick! Back to the cave!" Cheng Yuan shouted breathlessly, his face still covered in streaks of black ash.

"What happened?" Zhao Lu grabbed his collar. "What's this on your face...?"

"Let's get out of here first! We'll talk on the way!" Cheng Yuan broke free, picked up the two dogs and cats that had fallen behind, and ran into the cave.

Xing Sui was completely confused, but she quickly organized the cubs to retreat back into the depths of the cave.

The tunnel echoed with creaking sounds as the black ball beasts huddled in the rattan chair on the pangolin's back, like a basket of restless balls of yarn.

"Do you know any other way back?" Cheng Yuan asked the mischievous monkey beast, catching his breath. He knew that this invaded tribe was not the monkey beast's homeland, but merely a place it passed through.

Judging from the horrific scene I just witnessed, this tribe has been massacred by the savage beast army led by the Golden Horned Beast.

The monkeybeast gestured to indicate that the caves and tunnels were interconnected, providing alternative routes back and connecting to other tribes. These tunnels were masterpieces left by the monkeybeast's ancestors, facilitating travel between tribes through the tunnels within Green Fruit Mountain. However, the tunnels were intricate and likely harbored other wild Digimon like Spidermon.

Cheng Yuan nodded, and then told Xing Shuai everything he had just witnessed: how the Double F army had massacred the Sly Monkey Beast tribe, and how the Golden Horn Beast had fought fiercely with the Vajra Beast...

Cheng Yuan retrieved some of the intense battle footage recorded with his Ryujin camera and shared it with them.

My God, that's a fierce battle between two mature animals!

Cheng Yuan handed over the data acquisition device, and Wen Rou watched the rapidly increasing amount of data inside...

“Wait,” Wenrou suddenly interrupted him, pointing to the frantically jumping numbers on the data collector, “Cheng Yuan, how many corpses did you collect? This amount of data is more than the 30-plus savage beasts we collected yesterday!”

Zhao Lu said worriedly, "Cheng Yuan, picking up a few is fine, but don't risk your life."

"No, no," Cheng Yuan waved his hands repeatedly, "I only picked one up..."

"One?" The fishy-smelling water...

“Hmm,” Cheng Yuan scratched his head, revealing an innocent smile, “A Vajra.”

The stench of blood and gore...

Kang Zhaodi's loud voice caused several pebbles to fall from the cave ceiling. "A mature Vajra? How did you do that?"

“Shh—the fierce beast has a strange aura.” Cheng Yuan waved his hand modestly, “It just happened to be crippled by the Golden Horned Beast, so I… just picked it up.”

Zhao Lu rolled her eyes: "You call this 'finding a bargain'? I've heard that the market price for a mature Digimon starts at least at 500,000!"

"Alright, let's get down to business." Cheng Yuan put away his playful expression. "Zhao Lu, you take the team and follow the route of the Sly Monkey Beast. Big Brother, have the Pangolin use its Earth-Splitting Claw to blast the entrance shut, completely blocking it. That Golden Horned Beast is not to be trifled with; I doubt even Instructor Wang Lin could be its match."

"Alright!" Without another word, Kang Zhaodi turned and left with the pangolin. A moment later, a series of deafening explosions came from deep inside the tunnel, and the entire cave shook.

The cubs huddled together in fear, even the most mischievous Golden-haired Black Ball Beast burrowed into the Puppy Beast's fur. They only continued forward after the shaking stopped.

The tunnel was eerily quiet, with only the sounds of footsteps and the occasional dripping of water echoing through it.

“That group of savage beasts will find the tunnels to other tribes sooner or later,” Cheng Yuan said in a low voice. “We must notify the next tribe before they do.”

"Why would they invade? For food? Or data?" Zhao Lu frowned in thought.

“I think…” Cheng Yuan revealed a mysterious smile, “It’s related to reproduction.”

Some inappropriate images for children suddenly appeared in the sea of ​​erotic content, and several girls blushed instantly.

Wildman Beast & Mischievous Monkey Beast?

How could you!

"What time is it and you're still saying this!" Zhao Lu slapped Cheng Yuan on the back of the head. "Don't you know that Digimon don't reproduce like real animals? Most Digimon are born as Digi-Eggs by separating and backing up the DNA from their Digicores!"

"Most of them?" Cheng Yuan became interested, turned around and walked backwards. With the little dog beast leading the way, he walked with great confidence.

"And what about the rest?"

Cheng Yuan continued, "I once heard researchers at the Pengcheng Institute of Evolution discussing the reproduction of the Wildman Beast. They said that they have not yet discovered the Wildman Beast's digital eggs or juvenile stage, and do not know how they are born and evolve into Wildman Beasts."

Cheng Yuan looked at the carefree cubs, lost in thought: "When I saw the Savage Beast attack just now, it only killed the Monkeymon, but collected the Blackballmon, the Wobblinmon, and the DigiEgg. If it was for food, there was no need to go through all that trouble... unless..."

“Every now and then, the Savage Beasts invade the Sly Monkey Beast tribe and kidnap the children,” the Sly Monkey Beast said through gritted teeth.

Cheng Yuan's eyes lit up: "This is related to the 'mission' that Teacher Xu and the others mentioned! I think I understand." He quickened his pace, "We have to notify the next tribe before the Savage Beast. Sly Monkey Beast, you and I go first, leaving marks along the way. The rest of you take the cubs and follow the marks."

“Cheng Yuan,” Zhao Lu said worriedly, pulling him back. “Don’t act rashly. If anything happens, contact Instructor Wang Lin.”

"Don't worry!" Cheng Yuan patted his chest. "You guys contact the instructors, we'll meet up up ahead!"

After saying that, he, the puppy beast, and the mischievous monkey beast disappeared around the corner of the tunnel.

Kang Zhao stared in the direction they had left, scratching his head: "Ever since entering the digital space, the class representative's audacity... is fatter than pork belly."
