Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

In his view, Bai Yu was the kind of person who didn't do anything useless and was extremely goal-oriented.

He simply did not believe that Bai Yu was making such a fuss over such a vague reason as "treasure hunting."

There must be something Bai Yu wants hidden beneath this cave.

Jianliang began to have doubts and developed a strong interest in the true purpose of the hole.

Ruki clearly had little interest in digging holes, and she quickly shifted the conversation to things that were more important to her.

"Hasn't Chief Yamaki found that guy named Oikawa Yukio yet?"

Although she did not participate in the last operation targeting Yukio Oikawa, she took a liking to him after hearing about it.

Upon hearing this name, Qi Ren's attention was immediately drawn to it, and he looked at Bai Yu as well, awaiting an answer.

Bai Yu shook his head, his tone certain: "No, Oikawa Yukio isn't stupid. Once he's on guard, it will be difficult to find him again."

Unable to contain his curiosity, Qi Ren pressed on, "Brother Bai Yu, can that Oikawa Yukio really release energy waves with his bare hands like in the anime?"

“You should ask Jianliang about this; he’s the only one who saw it with his own eyes.” Bai Yu, with his hands in his pockets, lazily raised his chin at Qi Ren, who was full of curiosity, gesturing for him to ask Jianliang.

Upon hearing this, Qi Ren's eyes, filled with a thirst for knowledge, immediately shifted from Bai Yu and turned to Jian Liang with bright eyes.

Jianliang felt the intense gaze and a helpless expression appeared on his face.

He had told Qi Ren before, but this guy was clearly not satisfied with a simple verbal retelling. He insisted on describing every detail and every action he took so that he could construct a clear picture in his mind.

Before Jianliang could even speak, Qiren swarmed around him, relentlessly bombarding him with questions like, "What color is the energy wave?", "How powerful is it?", and "Is it the same as in the cartoon?"

Ruki crossed her arms and looked at the dusty "construction site" and the two boys huddled together whispering, feeling utterly bored.

She turned and walked out of the dilapidated building, preferring to breathe fresh air outside.

Bai Yu completely ignored the commotion over there; his attention was entirely focused on the pit that the Gilmon was constantly digging deeper into.

Half an hour later.

Under Guilmon's claws, which transformed into high-speed drills, the pit had extended downwards for several meters, and the entrance had been widened considerably, enough for a person to easily crawl through.

The dirt and gravel piled up beside it, almost filling the small space.

Qi Ren looked at his completely unrecognizable secret base, his face almost wrinkled into a bitter gourd.

He felt that this depth was already excessive, but Bai Yu was clearly not satisfied.

"Continue, dig a little deeper, and widen the opening as well," Bai Yu's voice came from the side, leaving no room for discussion.

Just as Qi Ren was about to steel himself and give Guilmon another order, a series of urgent cell phone rings suddenly broke the deafening noise.

It was Bai Yu on the phone.

Bai Yu answered the phone, and Yamaki Mitsuo's serious and urgent voice immediately came through the receiver: "Bai Yu, two Digimon have appeared on the streets of the city center and are causing a great deal of damage. Take Qi Ren and the others there immediately!"

The moment the call ended, Bai Yu's relaxed expression vanished.

He shouted into the cave, "Gilmon, stop!"

He then turned to Qi Ren and Jian Liang: "We have something important to do now."

Hearing the commotion, Ruki came in from outside. Seeing Shiraha's serious expression, she understood what had happened.

Without further delay, the group quickly left the park and headed towards the location mentioned by Mitsuo Yamaki.

When they arrived at their destination, they were greeted by a scene of utter devastation: the once bustling commercial street was now a mess, several cars lay overturned on the roadside, billowing black smoke, and the hard asphalt road surface was covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

In the very center of the street, two figures stood out conspicuously.

One of them was burly, shaped like a bull, with two swords at his waist, and exuded a powerful aura.

The other was the complete opposite, resembling a sheep, with a cold and aloof demeanor, holding a strangely shaped bow, and indifferently surveying the surrounding chaos.

Before Qi Ren and the others could ask, Bai Yu took the initiative to explain: "The one that looks like an ox is the Minotaur Beast, and the one holding a bow is the White Sheep Beast. They are both among the Twelve Divine Generals."

Almost the instant Bai Yu finished speaking, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Barbeast: Ultimate level, Holy Beast type, Vaccine type; Strength rating: B.]

[Aries Beast: Ultimate level, Holy Beast type, Virus species; Strength rating: B-rank.]

Keito, Kenryo, and Ruki's expressions instantly turned serious.

They had already personally experienced the power of Tigermon, Royal Serpentmon, and Ironchuckmon, and that was just one of them.

Now, with the two Twelve Divine Generals appearing at the same time, the sense of oppression they bring is far more than just one plus one equals two.

The bull-like beast's large, bronze-bell-sized eyes were fixed on Bai Yu and his group across the street.

It grinned and let out a deep, angry roar that echoed through the shattered streets: "Very well... you brats, you've finally shown up with your Digimon!"

On the other side, the aloof and cold-looking Aries Beast slowly raised the precious bow that gleamed with a cold light, aiming the bow at Bai Yu and the others.

"You dare to kill my divine messenger? Today, none of you will live!"

The successive falls of Flying Tiger Beast, Royal Serpent Beast, and Iron Chicken Beast have thoroughly enraged Vermilion Bird Beast.

Under divine decree, the command was no longer limited to finding the "Light of Evolution," but also explicitly required that, in addition to finding the "Light of Evolution," those children with Digimon partners must also be eliminated.

The bull beast and the white sheep beast deliberately created chaos and damaged the neighborhood on the street this time in order to lure Bai Yu and the others out.

Now they have achieved their goal.

Bai Yu quickly scanned the two enemies, lowered his voice, and spoke very fast: "You two work together to hold one back, I'll take care of the other as soon as possible, and then come back to support you."

The situation is urgent and there is no time for further discussion.

Qi Ren nodded heavily, Jian Liang next to him gripped the Arc Light Machine in his pocket, and Ruki had already placed a card between her fingers. No one objected.

The moment they reached a consensus, Aries Beast moved.

It made no extra movements, simply drawing the bowstring to its fullest extent.

"Buzz!"

A solidified energy arrow instantly formed on the bowstring, then shot through the air with a piercing whistle, heading straight for the stench.

"Scatter!" Bai Yu shouted.

Keito, Kenryo, and Ruki simultaneously lunged to the left to dodge.

Bai Yu then swiftly rolled to the opposite right side.

Boom!

The arrows arrived almost the instant they left their positions, embedding themselves firmly in the ground.

A violent burst of energy erupted, tearing a gruesome gash in the road surface, sending countless fragments of rock flying in all directions amidst the shockwave.

Seeing this, the Minotaur chose to attack the lone White Feather.

It let out a roar, its thick hooves slamming into the cracked pavement.

"Boom!"

Centered on its landing point, the ground instantly caved in and shattered in a spiderweb pattern, and flying rocks shot towards Bai Yu like cannonballs.

The glass windows of the shops along the street could not withstand the impact and shattered instantly, scattering shards of glass all over the ground.

Faced with this impenetrable attack, Bai Yu reacted with lightning speed!

He took the time-space drive out of the system space and slapped it on his waist, while simultaneously inserting the [Flying Tiger Beast Watch] into it.

"Flying Tiger Beast!"

"Henshin!"

"Digital Moment - The Twelve Divine Generals: Tiger!"

A cold, electronic sound effect rang out.

A data storm of bright yellow and deep purple enveloped Bai Yu. The flying pebbles crashed into the outer edge of the storm and were all deflected, not even touching the hem of his clothes.

When the data storm subsided, Bai Yu, dressed in her [Flying Tiger Beast Armor Form], stood still.

The bull-like beast looked at Bai Yu, who had transformed, and initially showed great interest. However, when it clearly sensed the familiar power emanating from Bai Yu, its pupils suddenly contracted.

That's the power of the Flying Tiger Beast!

"You scoundrel, you have insulted the strength of my compatriots!"

The bull-like beast's originally ferocious expression suddenly became even more ferocious, and it almost squeezed out these words from between its teeth.

It roared, its boiling killing intent almost materializing: "I will use your blood to pay homage to the Flying Tiger Beast!"

Before the words were even finished, the bull beast unleashed its explosive power, its four hooves flying as it charged forward.

It drew a broadsword from its waist, the heavy blade tearing through the air with a piercing whistle, and slashed horizontally toward Bai Yu's waist.

The sharp sword wind even pushed the debris on the ground, scattering it to both sides.

Faced with this attack, Bai Yu did not choose to take it head-on. Instead, he suddenly unfolded the "sonic wings" on his back, and the purple energy patterns on the edge of the bright yellow wing membrane lit up instantly.

"Buzz!"

The wings eject energy streams, providing a powerful burst of thrust.

Bai Yu's figure transformed into a streak of yellow and purple lightning, sidestepping the cold blade of the precious sword to avoid the wind.

"Boom!"

The bull-like beast's sword slashed down, embedding itself powerfully in the ground.

The hard road surface was like a fragile biscuit, easily splitting open a deep crack several meters long.

Chapter 114: Battle against the Minotaur and the Rammon

At the very moment the bull-like beast's sword tore through the road, a stream of data flashed in Bai Yu's bright yellow compound eyes, and he had already summoned the [Treasure Staff - Long Staff] into his hand.

Without pausing, Bai Yu's "sonic wings" on his back suddenly vibrated, and he transformed into a blurry streak of light, soaring into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, he drew a trajectory in mid-air that was impossible for ordinary people to catch, and quickly circled behind the bull beast.

"call!"

Bai Yu raised the [Precious Staff - Long Staff] high, carrying the wind pressure, and smashed it down on the back of the bull beast's head with all his might!

This strike was swift and ruthless, giving the opponent no chance to react!

But the Minotaur was, after all, one of the Twelve Divine Generals, and its fighting instincts were already ingrained in its very bones.

The moment the staff struck its body, it didn't even turn its head, its left hand flashing as it drew another sword from its waist, crossing the two swords above its head!

"Clang—!!!"

A deafening metallic clang exploded, causing another layer of shattered glass to fall from the surrounding area.

The bull-like beast took the blow head-on.

But a tremendous force traveled along the sword to its arms, and then spread throughout its entire body.

Its massive body suddenly sank down, its four hooves sinking deep into the ground. The road beneath its feet cracked with a "crack," and spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread outwards!

On the other side...

Keito, Kenryo, and Ryuki faced the cold-tempered Aries Beast without the slightest hesitation.

"Let's go!" Qi Ren shouted.

The three of them simultaneously pulled out their arc lights from their pockets and drew out their respective cards.

"Card swap! Hyper-evolution component S!"

"Card swap! Hyper-evolution component S!"

"Card swap! Hyper-evolution component S!"

Three beams of evolution light illuminated almost simultaneously, completely illuminating Guilmon, Terriermon, and Renamon.

In the light, their forms rapidly lengthened, grew taller, and were reshaped!

A crimson dragon, an armed hunter, and an elegant fox spirit.

Groudon, Garugon, and Ninetales, three Champion-level Digimon, are positioned in a triangular formation, facing Ariesmon directly.

"Roar--!"

The Gura Beast was the first to attack, letting out a terrifying roar that even made the shop windows along the street vibrate.
