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

The silver-horned beast's massive body visibly shrank back. "B-because..." it stammered, "The shaman beast said that without cubs, the wild beasts will become fewer and fewer..."

Cheng Yuan keenly sensed the key point: "So you're using the baby monkeys as a bargaining chip?"

"Hmm..." The silver-horned beast's voice trailed off, "The shaman beast said that two mischievous monkey cubs can be traded for one wild beast cub..."

Cheng Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, and a terrifying thought flashed through his mind—could the shaman beast be using some method to "transform" the wretched monkey beast cub into a wild man beast? He continued to ask a few more detailed questions, his brows furrowing more and more tightly.

Meanwhile, the people outside were experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions.

The silver-horned beast's massive body convulsed violently at times and remained eerily still at others, its metallic maw opening and closing incessantly, resembling a dilapidated robotic doll.

"What on earth is the class representative doing in there...?" Kang Zhao scratched his head, and the pangolin followed its master's actions.

Zhao Lu pushed up her slipped glasses: "Looks like you're negotiating?"

Only when the silver-horned beast suddenly quieted down, as if listening intently to something, did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"Did it work?" Wenrou asked softly.

Just then, Cheng Yuan's voice suddenly rang out from Zhao Lu's Digivice: "Zhao Lu, ask Seppimon for me why the wine brewed with Mammoth has a fruity flavor?"

A moment later, the aged voice of Sepikmon came: "Panmon has been consuming Digimon for a long time—which are actually the fruits of some kind of Digimon tree. Their bodies have accumulated the data essence of the fruits, so the wine they brew has a special fruity aroma."

"I see!" Cheng Yuan's eyes lit up, a sly smile playing on his lips. He closed the call and suddenly switched to a friendly, neighborly tone:

"Little Silver Horn~" The gentle tone made the little dog's fur stand on end. "If your brother can help you brew even better monkey wine, wouldn't your sister be even happier?"

"R-really?" The silver-horned beast's voice immediately filled with anticipation.

"Of course!" Cheng Yuan declared confidently, "I, Cheng Yuan, am a class leader, and I never lie to children!"

The little dog silently covered its eyes with its ears, feeling that its tamer looked like a little devil wagging its tail.

"You don't believe me?" Cheng Yuan raised an eyebrow. "How about we make a bet? If I can brew an even more fragrant monkey wine, you'll have to do whatever I say today. If I can't, I'll come out of your belly right now. Do you dare?"

The silver-horned beast's massive body visibly stiffened for a moment. Although it was as imposing as a mountain, its mind was like that of a playful child. Provoked by Cheng Yuan, it immediately became interested: "Okay, okay!" it agreed in a muffled voice, its anticipation barely concealed.

"Then let your savage underlings retreat first," Cheng Yuan said, seizing the opportunity to make a request.

The silver-horned beast hesitated noticeably, its thick fingers fidgeting nervously: "But my sister said..."

Cheng Yuan immediately raised his voice: "Disobedient? Then I'll control you to kill them all!" As he spoke, he deliberately pushed the joystick, causing the silver-horned beast's arm to rise uncontrollably.

"No!" the silver-horned beast cried out in panic, "I... I'll make them retreat right away!"

With a deafening roar, the savage beasts exchanged bewildered glances, but obediently began to retreat from the battlefield. The mischievous monkeys peeked out from the treetops, watching this scene in disbelief.

"Well done!" Cheng Yuan took out a green fruit from his backpack—a Digimon gifted by the mischievous monkey beast from the Hanu tribe. "Little dog beast, it's your turn now!"

The little dog, carrying a green fruit in its mouth, nimbly slipped out through the crack in the hatch. It trotted along the broad shoulders of the silver-horned beast until it reached the enormous gourd. The gourd's opening was larger than the little dog's entire body; with a forceful bite, the gourd stopper fell off.

"Plop!" The green fruit fell into the wine.

Almost instantly, an intoxicating fruity aroma wafted from the gourd, several times stronger than before.

"Wow!" The silver-horned beast sniffed, its voice filled with surprise. "That's right, that's the scent!"

Cheng Yuan pressed his advantage: "How about it? Cooperate with me, and I guarantee your sister will drink even better wine, and you'll never have to catch those annoying monkeys again!"

The silver-horned beast hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay!"

"Woof!" The little beast nimbly jumped back into the cockpit, its tiny paws deftly slamming the hatch shut. It shook its fur, giving off a disgusted look as it shook off the smell of alcohol.

Just as everyone was discussing this, the silver-horned beast suddenly fell silent again, standing still like a giant statue. The wild beasts had almost all retreated, but Cheng Yuan's side remained silent.

"Should we ask about the situation?" Zhao Lu suggested.

Wang Lin nodded and turned on the Tyrannosaurus Rex: "Cheng Yuan, report the situation."

Cheng Yuan's voice came from the Digimon machine: "Instructor, I'm all set."

Cheng Yuan paused for a moment, then said, "Next, I will attack in my Silver Horned Beast form!"

Chapter 54 Omens of the Uprising

"No, no, we absolutely can't take the Silver Horned Beast to negotiate with the Golden Horned Beast." Cheng Yuan pondered, stroking his chin in the Silver Horned Beast's cockpit, and discussed with the little dog beast with his eyes: "That big oaf will definitely turn into a good boy in front of his sister, and our little trick will be exposed in no time."

The little dog perched on his shoulder, its tiny paws supporting its chin, and tilted its head, its eyes conveying a sense of unease: "What should we do?"

[As planned, we'll first go to the Hanu tribe to meet up with the other mischievous monkey beasts.] Cheng Yuan pushed the joystick, and the Silver Horned Beast's massive body began to clumsily turn. He glanced at the Tyrannosaurus Rex machine: [Let's wait until Instructor Wang Lin brings Teacher Xu and the others over.]

Cheng Yuan and the various branches of the Stubborn Monkey Beasts agreed to meet on the highlands of the Hanu tribe to jointly resist the Savage Beasts.

He silently considered that the Savagemon tribe also had four major branches, including Windstorm, Goldhorn, Silverhorn, and Demon—four Champion-level Digimon. The Mischievousmon tribe, although also consisting of four tribes, only had two Champion-level Digimon left, making the difference in strength far too great.

Wang Lin communicated with him via text through the Digivice, explaining that as a medium-sized digital space controlled by the Association, the number of Champion-level Digimon should generally not exceed three. The Champion-level Digimon in this space were somewhat overcrowded, and the Beast Tamers Association wouldn't stand idly by; otherwise, a riot would inevitably break out sooner or later.

Therefore, the association will eventually send professional animal trainers to clean up the area to prevent problems from arising.

She had just reported the situation of this digital space to the association, and there would probably be a response later.

At the same time, she had also dispatched flying insect beasts to rush to Savage Valley to find Xu Xin for support.

Cheng Yuan sat in the cockpit of the silver-horned beast, pondering Wang Lin's words.

Are these digital spaces controlled by these associations, which are open to ordinary animal trainers, being used as resource pools or training grounds to help them grow?

If there are too many Champion-level Digimon, how would a professional trainer "cleanse" them up? Kill them, or take them away?

Since Teacher Xu's team happens to be in Savage Valley, they'll probably take on this quest while they're at it.

This was his first experience with the daily work and tasks of a professional animal trainer, which was quite an eye-opener. This experience will be very helpful for his future career as a professional animal trainer, essentially serving as an early internship.

As he pondered this, he controlled the silver-horned beast, navigating through the jungle towards his destination.

"This view is really good." Cheng Yuan looked down at the entire jungle through the observation window. The silver-horned beast's ten-meter-tall body gave him the illusion of piloting a Gundam. It could step over several trees with each step, looking incredibly majestic.

This hands-on experience of "piloting a Gundam" was incredibly exhilarating for him.

Seeing Cheng Yuan's excitement, the little dog was also a little eager to try.

"Wow, Little Silver Horn is amazing!"

"Little Silver Horn is probably the most powerful fighter in the entire Savage Valley."

"Little Silver Horn's fireball is awesome! It could take down a fully-formed being in one shot!"

This burly silver-horned beast has the personality of a child. With Cheng Yuan and the puppy-dog beast constantly praising it, the silver-horned beast is happy to play along with them.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. According to the Silver Horned Beast, it has only been evolved for less than a year and usually relies on the Golden Horned Beast for care, so its mind is naturally not very mature.

“Little Silver Horn,” Cheng Yuan suddenly had a bright idea, “would you like to hear a story from the real world?”

"The real world?" the silver-horned beast asked curiously.

"Yeah, there are game consoles, computers, PS25s..." Cheng Yuan vividly described the game consoles, "Endless video games, endless delicious food, and even airplanes that can make you fly..."

The silver-horned beast listened intently, occasionally letting out a "wow" of amazement. Cheng Yuan took the opportunity to brainwash it, depicting the real world as if it were a fairy tale.

"When we have the chance in the future, I'll take you to an amusement park," Cheng Yuan said confidently. "It'll be much more interesting than your wine gourd!"

"Really?" The silver-horned beast was so excited that it almost made Cheng Yuan dizzy again.

And so, under Cheng Yuan's "storytelling" and the little dog's "praise mode," the silver-horned beast was completely won over and willingly cooperated with their next plan.

Unbeknownst to them, they had already approached the hilly area near Qingguo Mountain. Cheng Yuan suddenly remembered that the evil beast that Mo was looking for was said to be active in this area.

"I wonder if that guy found the evil beast yet..." Cheng Yuan muttered. Although Mo had an eccentric personality, he had at least helped them before, and Cheng Yuan was still a little worried about his safety.

At this moment, Mo was standing in an empty savage camp, his face so gloomy it could drip water.

“Damn evil beast…” it gritted its teeth and kicked a stone away.

The little devils huddled around it in fear, not daring to breathe.

It finally arrived here, only to find no trace of the demon beasts, but some elderly wild beasts remaining in the tribe. The young and strong wild beasts and demon beasts had all gone to hunt the mischievous monkey beasts.

His crimson eyes looked toward Qingguo Mountain: "Chase after them."

With a flicker of its body, it transformed into a swarm of bats and took to the air, with the little devilmon quickly following behind.

The evacuation was still ongoing inside the tunnels.

Kang Zhaodi led his team to the Target Beast Tribe, and with the introduction of the Sepik Beast and the Hanu Tribe's Mischievous Monkey Beast, they finally met the legendary "sneaker fanatic".

"This, this is Targetmon?" Kang Zhao stared wide-eyed at the bright pink monkey-type Digimon in front of him.

It wore a pair of tattered sneakers on its arms, the uppers worn so worn that their original color was no longer visible, and the soles as thin as paper.

Target Beast

[Virus Type - Doll Type]

[Maturity Stage]

[Skills: Electric Shock Hug Sneakers, Sharp Flame Head, Anya's Serenade]

[Description: Target Beast presents a trendy monkey image, with a flashy pink as its main color. It wears shoes on its hands and has a flame-like decoration on its head, making it look very unique. Once Target Beast sets its sights on a target, it will tenaciously lock on and never let go, demonstrating strong stubbornness.]

The Target Beast was scratching the flame decorations on its head with its worn-out shoe "hands," and when it saw Kang Zhaodi's brand-new limited-edition sneakers, its eyes lit up like searchlights.

"Squeak squeak squeak!" It excitedly pointed to Kang Zhaodi's shoes, then to the "rag" on its arm, gesturing wildly.

“It said…” Hanu the monkey, acting as translator, “It wants your shoes.”

Kang Zhaodi's lips twitched: "I saved up my allowance for three months to buy this..."

Upon seeing this, the Target Beast immediately put on a pitiful expression and wiped away non-existent tears with its worn-out shoe "hand".

I, the target beast, have long suffered from worn-out shoes.

“Alright, alright…” Kang Zhao sighed, bending down to untie his shoelaces, “but you have to promise to help us fight against the savage beasts.”

Targetmon nodded frantically, eagerly flung its old shoes away. When it slipped the brand-new, limited-edition sneakers onto its arms, the entire Digimon shone with dazzling brilliance.

"Squeak squeak squeak!" It excitedly waved its new shoes, then suddenly did a backflip, crossing its arms—[Electric Shock Hug Sneakers]!

Two bolts of lightning shot out from the sole of the shoe, shattering a distant boulder into pieces.

Kang Zhao stared at his toes peeking out from the front of the sneakers he'd swapped with, tears welling in his eyes: "My shoes..."

Meanwhile, the Golden Horned Beast was leading its massive army of Savage Beasts in a grand advance. When it learned from the fleeing Savage Beasts that the Silver Horned Beast had been "captured," its spiked club clenched so tightly it creaked.

"What?!" The golden-horned beast roared in fury, its long green hair billowing even without wind. "Those damned monkeys dared to touch my brother?!"

It immediately reorganized the remnants of the Silverhorn Beasts into a larger legion, and marched menacingly toward the gathering place of the Stubborn Monkey Beasts.

“Windstorm Beast is right…” A ruthless glint flashed in Golden Horn Beast’s eyes. “This digital space is too small. It’s time to break free of the cage.”

A few days ago, the Windstormmon secretly found it and proposed a bold plan—to use Shamanmon's ability to transform all the Magnemon cubs into Wildmon cubs, secretly strengthen the clan's power, and then break through the outpost in one fell swoop and break out of the digital space that had imprisoned them for many years.

The thought of adventuring in a wider world with his brother and challenging even more powerful opponents filled the Golden Horned Beast with excitement. But now, it had only one thought in its mind—to rescue the Silver Horned Beast and then stuff all those damned monkeys into its gourd!

"Speed ​​up!" At the Golden Horned Beast's command, the Savage Beast Legion immediately began to jog, their heavy footsteps causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Chapter 55 Alliance

Meanwhile, the flying insect beasts finally found Xu Xin's team in Savage Valley. They were preparing to return empty-handed—the entire Savage Valley was deserted, without even a trace of a savage beast.

"Several Champion-level Digimon have appeared in Qingguo Mountain?" Xu Xin frowned after hearing Flymon's report. "It seems that Shamanmon has also gone there."

He made a quick decision: "Teachers, take the students back first, and a few of us will go and take a look."

The Dark Tyrannosaurus Beast raised its head and let out a deafening roar. Xu Xin's team quickly climbed onto its shoulders. With a series of earth-shaking footsteps, the elite team sped towards Green Fruit Mountain.

Cheng Yuan was completely unaware of this. He was focused on "driving" the silver-horned beast towards the Hanu tribe.

As darkness approached, they quickened their pace.

Cheng Yuan sat in the cockpit of the Silver Horned Beast, watching the shadows of trees rushing past through the observation window, pondering his next plan. The little dog beast lay on his head, its two front paws gripping his hair tightly, as if afraid of being thrown off by the jolts.

"Hey Little Silver Horn," Cheng Yuan said, trying to get information out of you while manipulating the joystick, "how does your sister usually train you?"

The silver-horned beast's voice came from all directions, tinged with grievance: "Sister...sister always kicks me..."

"Huh?" Cheng Yuan almost burst out laughing. "How do you kick it?"

"It's...it's that..." the silver-horned beast stammered, gesturing, "【Lightning Ghost Kick】! Every time I slack off from training, my sister uses this move to kick me into the lake..."

Cheng Yuan imagined the scene—the majestic silver-horned beast being kicked away like a ball and falling into the water with a splash—and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Woof!" The little beast suddenly perked up its ears. "There's something up ahead!"

"That's the territory of the Hanu tribe ahead," Cheng Yuan said, pointing to a high ground in the distance through the observation window.
