Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

Bai Yu was just trying his luck, after all, it was better than them wandering around the huge city like headless flies.

A few minutes later, the previously quiet Gilmon suddenly sniffed hard, and the next second, it abruptly raised its head, its large eyes flashing with alertness.

"I smell Digimon," Guilmon said in its childish but unusually certain voice.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu's expression changed instantly, and his eyes sharpened.

He immediately put away his phone, lowered his voice, and asked urgently, "Where?"

The guild beast stretched out its short claws and pointed to a utility pole not far away by the street, saying confidently, "It's right there!"

Bai Yu's gaze followed the direction pointed by the Gilbeast's claws and locked onto the utility pole.

He did not hesitate for a moment, nor did he have even the slightest doubt in his heart.

Bai Yu trusted Guilmon's sense of smell.

With a flick of his wrist, the Lynx Watch appeared in his hand, and he pressed the button on the watch without hesitation!

"Lynx!"

Accompanied by a system sound effect, several fiery manes instantly condensed from Bai Yu's wrist!

"call out--!"

With a whooshing sound, the several fiery manes shot out like arrows, accurately targeting the utility pole!

Just as the fiery mane was about to hit, a somewhat displeased voice came from the telephone pole.

"You dare to ambush me!"

Immediately afterwards, a ball of dark purple flame ignited out of thin air and crashed into the mane of flames!

They collided in mid-air with a loud bang, producing a not-too-loud explosion!

"Ahhh!"

The sudden explosion completely shattered Qi Ren's already tense nerves.

He screamed in fright, his legs gave way, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Qi Ren didn't care about losing face anymore; he used all his strength to shout for help at the top of his lungs.

"Gilmon! White Feather Bro! Come save me!"

Almost the instant his shout ended, two figures rushed out from around the corner.

"Qi Ren!"

Guilmon shouted anxiously and rushed to Qiren's side, protecting him tightly behind him and keeping a watchful eye on the utility pole.

Bai Yu followed closely behind, blocking Qi Ren on the other side.

Bai Yu raised his head again and looked at the utility pole.

We were far away and it was nighttime, so we couldn't see it clearly.

But now, as the distance closed, under the dim light of the streetlights, Bai Yu finally saw clearly the figure standing on the utility pole.

It was a small, demonic Digimon.

It has purple skin, pointed ears, and a distinctive red scarf around its neck.

Its face wore a cynical, yet smug, mischievous grin.

The moment Bai Yu saw the other party clearly, his pupils contracted slightly, and a name almost slipped out: "Little Demon Beast?"

The little monster perched on the telephone pole was visibly startled when Bai Yu called out its name accurately, a hint of surprise flashing in its eyes.

However, this slight surprise was quickly replaced by an even stronger sense of smugness.

The little demon beast put its hands on its hips, raised its head, and let out a loud laugh filled with arrogance and conceit.

"Hahaha! Not bad, kid! It's me!"

The little monster's laughter sounded particularly jarring in the quiet night.

Qi Ren, who was being protected behind him, had also recovered from his shock.

When Qi Ren saw clearly the little monster's small body, which was not even as tall as him, and its arrogant appearance that pretended to be mature, he realized that...

The tension caused by fear in my heart vanished instantly.

Chihren wasn't afraid of these small, seemingly harmless Digimon at all.

The fear dissipated, replaced by shame and anger.

Qi Ren scrambled to his feet, not even bothering to brush the dust off his backside.

He tilted his head back angrily and shouted at the little guy on the utility pole, "Hey! What are you doing, sneaking around there at night trying to scare me?"

"Don't you know that's very impolite?!"

Hearing Qi Ren's furious questioning, the little monster standing on the telephone pole not only showed no sense of being in the wrong, but instead laughed even more arrogantly.

"Hahahaha! I'm just trying to scare a coward like you!"

"With your cowardly appearance, you dare to call yourself a beast tamer? You're absolutely hilarious!"

"You...you bastard!" Qi Ren's face turned bright red with anger, and his whole body was trembling.

He had never seen such an arrogant and annoying guy!

"I won't allow you to bully Qiren!"

Guilmon got angry when he saw his partner being mocked like that.

"Apologize to Qi Ren right now!"

"Apologize? With your big, dumb stature?" The little monster curled its lip in disdain, not taking Guilmon seriously at all.

"Gilmon, stop wasting your breath on him! Teach him a lesson!"

Qi Ren was completely enraged. He pointed at the little monster on the telephone pole and loudly gave his partner the order to attack.

"Flameball!"

Upon receiving the order, Guilmon opened its mouth without hesitation.

A blazing fireball instantly condensed in its mouth, then shot out with a scorching shockwave, heading straight for the little monster!

The imp showed no sign of panic. With a nimble leap to the side, it easily dodged Guilmon's fireball.

"You can't hit me, you can't hit me, you idiot!"

The little imp beast landed steadily on the ground and immediately made a face at Guilmon, sticking out its tongue in a highly provocative manner.

"Damn it! Guilmon, keep attacking! Use Rockbreaker Claw!"

Qi Ren's reason had been completely clouded by anger.

He had only one thought in mind: to give this infuriating little brat in front of him a good beating!

"Wait, Qi Ren." Bai Yu gently placed a hand on Qi Ren's shoulder.

"Brother Baiyu, why are you blocking my way? I'm going to have Gilmon teach this guy a lesson!" Qiren looked at Baiyu in confusion, his anger still simmering.

"There's no need to waste time with this kind of guy," Bai Yu said in a very calm tone.

In Bai Yu's opinion, the little monsters in the later stages were indeed very charming.

But this one is just a "brat" who likes to play pranks everywhere and enjoys making others angry.

There's really no need to get angry with a brat.

Hearing Bai Yu say this, Qi Ren glared angrily at the little demon beast not far away, but in the end, he did not let Guilmon continue to attack.

He pouted, gave an angry "humph," and turned his head to the side.

Seeing his expression, Bai Yu smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Alright, stop being so stubborn. Let's go, we have important business to attend to."

After saying that, Bai Yu left with Qi Ren and Guilmon.

Seeing that Bai Yu and the others were leaving just like that, the little demon beast became unhappy.

He hasn't had enough fun yet!

How can you leave?

"Hey! You guys stop right there! Did I give you permission to leave?!" the little demon beast shouted in dissatisfaction.

He then quickly ran in front of Bai Yu and Qi Ren, blocking their way.

Chapter 27: I know where that guy's lair is.

Bai Yu looked down at the little demon beast blocking his way and slowly narrowed his eyes.

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable chill.

"Kid, don't go looking for a beating."

Hearing these clearly threatening words, the little demon beast showed no fear whatsoever; instead, it laughed even more arrogantly.

It stretched out a finger and pointed it at Bai Yu's nose without any politeness.

"You think you can beat me up when all you know is sneak attacks?"

The little demon beast stood with its hands on its hips, chin held high, looking at Bai Yu and Qi Ren with an expression that said "you're an idiot."

"You've got this straight, this time I'm not letting you off the hook!"

"If any of you don't have fun with me today, none of you are leaving here!"

Upon hearing the little demon beast's extremely arrogant declaration, Bai Yu was first taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh.

At this stage, the little monsters really didn't know their own limitations.

That's right. If Indramon doesn't give Impmon a good beating, Impmon won't grow up.

However, it's not that we can't let it experience it in advance.

Bai Yu stopped smiling, turned his head to look at Qi Ren beside him, and said, "Since it insists on making itself uncomfortable."

"Then, Qiren, you should teach it a lesson."

"Let Guilmon evolve, treat it like a ball, and kick it around a bit to teach it a lesson."

"Okay!" Qi Ren agreed immediately.

Having been stopped by Bai Yu, Qi Ren now had Bai Yu's permission, so why would he hesitate in the slightest?

He immediately pulled out his Arc Machine from his pocket, and with his other hand, he swiftly drew out the card for the [Super Evolution Component S].

"Guilmon, prepare to evolve!" A fierce fighting spirit ignited in Keito's eyes.

"Hey Hey hey!"

When the little monster heard the word "evolution," its arrogant expression instantly froze, and its eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

Although it likes to cause trouble and stir up trouble everywhere, it is not stupid.

It certainly knows what "evolution" means.

Especially when it saw that Qi Ren actually took out the arc light machine and was actually going to swipe the card, its expression completely changed.

"Wait! Hold on!"

The little demon quickly waved its hands, forcing a smile, and said, "You two are really idiots! I'm actually here to help you, okay!"

"Can't you show some basic courtesy to kind people?"

Hearing the little monster's completely unexpected words, Qi Ren suddenly stopped swiping his card.

He stared in disbelief at the guy who had been incredibly arrogant just a second ago, but who was now claiming to be there to help.

Qi Ren retorted angrily, "You're trying to shift the blame! It's you who's being rude!"

Seeing that it had temporarily stabilized the situation, the little demon beast regained its courage and immediately puffed out its chest, retorting, "It's you who's being rude, you coward! You actually dared to lay a hand on me when you saw me, the great master!"

"It's you who's rude, you little eggplant!" Qi Ren retorted loudly, giving the little demon beast an unpleasant nickname.

"Who are you calling a purple eggplant?!"

The little monster was instantly enraged by the nickname and jumped up and down in anger.

"You're the one with a breadhead!"
