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

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

Pebbles rained down on the rocks, and Cheng Yuan hunched over behind cover, not daring to lift his head.

The little dog was lying beside him when a pebble grazed its ear, making it yelp in pain.

"Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm some kind of Hello Kitty!" Cheng Yuan gritted his teeth. "You little beasts, get them!"

"Alright!" The little dog beast rolled out of its cover, and five holy light bullets roared out from different angles at the same time.

The mischievous monkeys in the tree were clearly not prepared for their opponent to be able to control so many light projectiles at the same time, and even turn them. They frantically tried to dodge, and in the end, all three mischievous monkeys were hit and fell from the tree with screams.

"Squeak squeak squeak!" A rapid whistle sounded from afar, and three more mischievous monkey beasts rushed over. They nimbly took up high ground, some pulling back their huge slingshots, others swinging their prank rings, preparing to launch a new round of attacks.

Cheng Yuan shouted again that he had come to deliver a message, and the injured monkey beast also hurriedly explained in digital language.

But the mischievous monkeys, already enraged, paid no heed and attacked even more fiercely.

"Divine Barrier!" The little dog beast activated its protective shield, and sparks exploded on the light screen. Cold sweat beaded on Cheng Yuan's forehead—1 against 6, even though three of them were already injured, this would still be a tough battle.

"Wait..." Cheng Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and took out a grapefruit-sized blue object from his backpack—it was the digital core left behind by the dead King Kong.

The fresh core exuded a powerful aura, standing out conspicuously in the jungle.

"Woo—" A long monkey cry suddenly rang out from deep in the forest. The six mischievous monkeys immediately stopped attacking upon hearing the sound, but remained on guard.

Cheng Yuan held his breath and waited. A moment later, a lean, long-limbed brown monkey swung out from the treetops. It wore an ancient Amazonian-style totem mask with several colorful feathers stuck on top, and carried a huge boomerang on its back.

Cheng Yuan then noticed that the monkey beasts of this tribe all wore various masks, some tied on their heads and some hanging around their necks—just like the wild beasts of the Golden Horned Beast tribe all had small golden horns.

Masks appear to be a characteristic of this tribe.

"The King Kong Beast of the King Kong Tribe is dead?" The masked monkey's voice came through the wooden mask, carrying a sense of vicissitude. "You did it?" It glanced at the little dog beast. "No, it wasn't you."

It paused for a moment, the patterns on its mask glowing faintly: "The soul of the Vajra Beast tells me it wasn't you; its resentment didn't haunt you."

"Tell me, what happened?"

Cheng Yuan was surprised. This strange monkey seemed familiar. It looked like it had appeared in an animation, but he didn't remember it very well. It seemed to have some special abilities related to the soul.

It can see through so much information at once, as if it can communicate with the soul, which is a bit scary.

He secretly opened the encyclopedia:

【Sepikamon (Earthlingmon)】

[Liberty Bell - Demon Type]

[Armored Body - Mature Stage]

[Skills: Soul Boomerang (soul-sealing effect), Soul Interference (confuses and confuses enemies)]

[Introduction: Long secluded in the depths of the Digital World's dense forest, it possesses a strange mask that allows it to communicate with the souls of the dead. Legend has it that it only appears when the spirits meet. The ritual mask it carries has a dual function: it is both combat equipment and a medium connecting the boundary between life and death, making it one of the very few Digimon capable of directly communicating with the dead.]

"We've come to deliver a message," Cheng Yuan said cautiously.

A commotion arose among the treetops, and the mask of the Sepik beast turned to him: "Reporting a message?"

"The Golden Horned Beast's warband is sweeping through the Monkey Beast tribe!" Cheng Yuan held up the Diamond Beast's Digicore. "Its tribe has been wiped out. We're here to warn you."

The bandaged monkey beast that came with Cheng Yuan said, "That's right, we were also attacked... but it was just a small group that kidnapped some of our cubs."

Sepikmon looked at the bandaged monkeymon, unable to immediately recognize which tribe it belonged to. "You are...?"

"I am... a warrior of the Hanu tribe," said the bandaged monkey beast.

"So it was the Hanu tribe of the Golden Warriors..." Sepikmon's voice was filled with nostalgia. "Since the last Hanumon died, no other Amakimon has been able to evolve into that form."

It turned to Cheng Yuan: "I believe in you. But even the formidable King Kong tribe couldn't withstand the Savage Beasts, so our Native tribe will probably have an even greater chance of resisting them."

Cheng Yuan nodded in agreement.

The immediate priority is to organize the evacuation and gather the forces of the various tribes through the tunnels. The hatchlings and digital eggs, in particular, must be protected as a priority.

The Sepik immediately began directing the retreat.

Cheng Yuan was surprised to find that although the mischievous monkey beast was inherently unruly, the tribe was quite orderly under the organization of the Sepik beast.

If it were the King Kong tribe, it would probably be in complete chaos by now.

Hundreds of mischievous monkey beasts began to emerge from their homes and line up to enter the cave, with cubs and digital eggs being escorted first, while warriors covered the rear.

"Hurry up!" Sepikmon slammed its staff on the ground, the patterns on its mask flashing with an urging light.

However, the tunnel entrance is only wide enough for two people, so it would be a huge undertaking for hundreds of Digimon to pass through.

Several mischievous monkeys leaped and jumped around in the group, almost knocking over the net bag carrying the digital eggs; some of the cubs were also affected by the tense atmosphere and started crying anxiously.

The Sepimon had to run back and forth, tapping the heads of those who didn't follow the rules with its boomerangs.

In the midst of this chaos, Zhao Lu and Kang Zhaodi, along with the other classmates, finally arrived at the cave entrance.

"We've arrived just in time," Zhao Lu said, adjusting her glasses.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Lin and Cao Jin arrived with the flying insect beast and the big-eared beast.

Wang Lin still looked languid, with a blade of grass dangling from her mouth, but her eyes had become sharp.

Cao Jin nervously wiped away his sweat, his large-eared beast standing up with its long ears, constantly monitoring the surrounding movements.

"Wow, what a big fuss." Wang Lin chewed on a blade of grass, looking on with an expression of watching a spectacle.

"Hmm." Cheng Yuan pondered.

He said, "Instructor Wang Lin, please have the Flying Insect Beast scout and patrol. If you spot any Wildman Beasts, contact us immediately using the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Then, please, along with Teacher Cao and all the students, assist the Sepik Beast in directing the retreat. These mischievous monkey beasts are naturally playful and careless; even the Sepik Beast is exhausted and needs help. Wenrou and Huala Beast, please stay and take care of these Hanu tribe cubs."

"receive!"

"The Big-eared Beast arrived too!"

The physical education teacher immediately responded, leading the students and Digimon to assist.

Wang Lin: ? ? ?

I'm your instructor, and I've been assigned to the miscellaneous tasks and ordered around like this?

Kid, are you trying to rebel?

He's really starting to resemble that jerk team leader more and more!

"Instructor Wang Lin, hurry up!" Zhao Lu, Kang Zhaodi, and others urged from behind.

Wang Lin spat out the straw and hesitated for a moment.

Cheng Yuan didn't know what she was thinking. He only saw that Wang Lin exchanged a glance with the flying insect beast, and then the flying insect beast took off. She herself turned around and walked towards the errand team.

Cheng Yuan wiped away the cold sweat...

Beautiful lady!

You're our instructor!

You are a professional animal trainer from the privileged class!

You... are so obedient...
