I Am a Heroic Spirit

"Is there no one else who meets the requirements? As the goddess of magic, Hecate doesn't accept many disciples or apprentices."

"He's a god, why would he need to take in an apprentice?"

……

While people were arguing online about who Hecate's disciple was, Zhang Luo had already reached the edge of the cliff. Looking out, he saw fourteen figures in the distance on the river below gradually approaching the land under the impact of the waves.

After discovering the traces of the seven children and Digimon, Zhang Luo turned around without hesitation and was about to take Jack and Medea down the mountain.

Chapter 87 Final Encounter

At this moment, the ground in front suddenly exploded, and large pieces of mud and rubble hit him. After waving the feather fan to blow away the cover, what appeared in front of him was the Gogamon that flew out from the ground after the magic duration ended and split the ground with its special move.

"Hell begins here. We are the fire, the rain, the power—bringing slaughter upon this place...Maria the Ripper!"

As soon as Gugamon came out from underground and before it could launch an attack, Jack broke free from Zhang Luo's hand, activated his treasure and rushed forward. In the blink of an eye, Gugamon, which had just crawled out of the ground, was torn into pieces, then disintegrated into a piece of data and disappeared from sight.

"Mother."

After killing the Gugamon, Jack immediately returned to Zhang Luo's side, hugged Zhang Luo's arm, and called him affectionately, as if he wanted to be praised.

"Well done, Jack."

Zhang Luo touched Jack's little head and praised him gently.

Jack smiled with satisfaction after receiving his mother's praise.

"Because they're made up of data, do they disintegrate into data after being killed?" an American scientist speculated inside the base. "If we can intercept the relevant data, perhaps we can create Digimon."

"Let's put that aside for now. We can't enter the Digital World. We can only do this when the evil Digimon from the Digital World invade Earth." Special Agent Peter shook his head and said, "The most important thing right now is intelligence. Have you found anything about this insect-like Digimon?"

"We can determine three points at present. First, this Digimon should be modeled after a stag beetle. Second, its attack method is mainly based on its pair of pincers. Third, its strength is enough to split the ground filled with two meters of mud. More can't be determined, after all, the battle ended too quickly." The Chinese insect biologist next to him spoke, and the others nodded in agreement.

In order to explore the new world, not only scientists but also various biologists and geographers were sent from various countries.

Unlike those in the know in government agencies, people on the Internet did not understand the situation and could only speculate and analyze based on what was shown in the video. Since the Gougamon killed by Jack became the cause of the data crash, everyone unanimously believed that the world was actually a virtual game world. After all, such a situation would only occur when fighting monsters in a game world.

In the digital world, Zhang Luo and the other two were on their way down the mountain. On the other side, after a thrilling escape and fall into the water, the children had climbed onto the shore and sat on the ground, gasping for breath, somewhat exhausted.

Ishida Yamato looked around and saw that everyone was fine. He sighed and said, "We're finally saved."

"What happened to those fish just now?" Shirotosuke knelt on the ground, gasping for breath, and his glasses were crooked.

"That's a school of fish going berserk." Gomamon's eyes were smiling, and there was a hint of pride in his tone, "I can control and command the fish."

Kidosuke straightened his glasses, which had been tilted by the shock, stood up, and said with a smile: "I see, this is your special move! Thank you, Bugamon... ah no, should it be...?"

Kidosuke hesitated as he spoke, because Bugamon was different from before.

"I'm not Bugamon now. I've evolved. I'm Gomamon, who evolved from Bugamon!" Gomamon said, shaking his head.

"Digomon, what are you now?" Gao Shiyue looked at Digomon and asked curiously.

"Let's introduce ourselves." Agumon raised his hand first. "I'm Agumon, who evolved from Rollermon."

"I'm Gabumon, the Unicorn evolved."

"I'm BigEarmon, the evolution of Gummymon."

"I am Biyomon, the evolved form of Bikomon."

"I am Patamon, the evolved form of Digomon."

"I am Barumon, the evolved version of Seedmon."

"I am Beetlemon, the evolved form of Mochimon."

"Evolution?" Yagami Taichi asked in confusion, "You just said evolution?"

Agumon nodded and said loudly, "Yeah, we all evolved!"

Tachikawa Mimi asked doubtfully: "What is evolution?" ·x% .:/

"Generally speaking, it means that all organisms of a certain type transition into more advanced species. This is evolution." Izumi Koshiro, who holds the Knowledge Badge, explained.

"Anyway, it's just more powerful than before." The other children were still a little confused, so Taichi Yagami gave a simple summary.

After resting for a while, Ishida Yamato asked, "So what should we do next?"

"Let's go back to where we were and wait for the adults to come and rescue us," Kidosuke suggested.

"Even if you say you want to go back," Yagami Taichi looked up at the cliff where they first came from, "we have already been swept very far away."

"It's obviously not easy to get back to the cliff," Ishida Yamato echoed.

After some debate, Gao Shiyue suddenly remembered what happened before and quickly said, "Those soldiers seemed to know we were coming here. Could this be a secret military experiment?"

After Gao Shiyue's reminder, everyone remembered what happened before. At that time, before they picked up those strange machines, some soldiers came over and gave them a few small backpacks, saying that they could use them. Although they didn't know what was going on, they still put them on their backs and somehow arrived here.

"Just like what's shown on TV, we were selected by the military and became experimental subjects."

While guessing, Taichi Yagami took off his backpack, unzipped it, and looked at the things inside. Because of time constraints, he had not had time to see what was inside.

"Compressed biscuits, solid water, miniature tents, tranquilizer guns, electric batons, cold medicines, and so many other things that can be used in deserted places. It seems very likely to be as you guessed." Tachikawa Mimi said in amazement as she looked at the things in the backpack.

Izumi Koshiro shook his head and denied it, "I don't think there's any experiment that would require ordinary kids like us to come here. Besides, modern technology can't even do something like time travel to send us from Japan to this place."

Takenouchi Sona nodded and said, "Besides, it's impossible for us kids to conduct experiments on technologies like time-space conversion."

Ishida Yamato concluded: "Even if it's not the government's doing, the government must be aware of it, otherwise they wouldn't suddenly send us these things."

After discussing for a long time, it seemed that no useful conclusions were reached, and everyone's mood was somewhat depressed. Only Yagami Taichi remained quite energetic: "Anyway, let's go first. Staying here is not a solution."

After saying that, Taichi Yagami walked towards the path next to him.

"Hey, where are you going?" asked Yamato Ishida.

"As for me, I just saw the sea. So let's all go!" Yagami Taichi took the lead and the others looked at each other, nodded encouragingly, and set off.

"I think we should stay here and wait for rescue..." Shirotosuke closed his eyes, crossed his arms, and continued to express his opinions.

"Azuki, what are you doing? Everyone has left!" Gomamon shouted.

"Ah? Wait!" After being reminded by Gomamon, Kidosuke hurried over.

A group of seven people and seven beasts were talking to each other as they headed towards the seaside. On the way, Izumi Kōshiro thought of electronic digital technology from the conversation, but because of Izumi Kōshiro's subjective consciousness and Beetlemon's interruption, he never realized that he was in a network world made up of data.

On the other side, Zhang Luo and the other two had already gone down the mountain and came to the place where the seven children had been brought to justice before. After looking at the traces on the ground, Zhang Luo followed the footprints again without stopping.

People on the Internet also discovered the children's footprints. Zhang Luo's actions made people guess that in addition to them, some other children had also mistakenly entered this strange world. In addition to exploring the new world, Zhang Luo also had the purpose of finding those children.

At this time, the ground shook again, just like the last time, it was a sign of the appearance of Digimon. Zhang Luo and the other two sped up and soon discovered a dinosaur-like Digimon covered in a giant shell, as well as small Digimon that were knocked away one by one by this Digimon, and the seven familiar children.

Similar to the original, even with enough food, the Digimon could not defeat Shellmon. In the end, Agumon relied on the bond between him and Taichi Yagami to evolve into Tyrannosaurus and fight Shellmon. When Zhang Luo went over, Shellmon had been defeated and was about to retreat back to the ocean.

"Medea, grab it."

Because the distance was far, Jack might not be able to catch up with the shell beast before it completely retreated into the deep sea, so Zhang Luo called Medea.

"Yes, master."

Medea responded, then waved her wand, and the ocean where the Shell Beast was located was frozen, freezing most of the Shell Beast's body in the water. No matter how hard the Shell Beast, which had just been severely injured, struggled, it could not break free from the ice.

"It's humans!" Ishida Yamato was the first to notice Zhang Luo and the other two, and shouted in surprise.

"There's also a camera! Is this a special event?" Tachikawa Mimi noticed the camera in Medea's hand.

"That man is Zhuge Kongming! The man who appeared in District 11 some time ago, and Jack the Ripper." Takeuchi Sona recognized Zhang Luo and Jack.

"What's going on?" Taichi Yagami also got up from the ground and asked in surprise as he looked at Zhang Luo and others who were coming over.

"Is he someone you know?"

Tyrannosaurus rex degenerated into Agumon and asked Taichi Yagami in confusion.

The other Digimon were also extremely confused.

Yagami nodded, then shook his head, not knowing what to say.

On the Internet, the battle between water columns and flames, and large dinosaurs and large water dragons has aroused a wave of enthusiasm.

"It really is from ancient times. Those two are clearly dinosaurs."

"Can dinosaurs breathe fire? Can they spit out water?"

"It should be a fantasy game set in ancient times."

"By the way, I want to play this game too! The legendary virtual reality game! I've been looking forward to it for a long time!"

"Don't be naive. If it's just an ordinary game, would the army use it like that?"

"The most important thing about virtual reality is the reality itself. In games where you enter your own body, there's generally no chance of resurrection."

"From a preliminary assessment, it can be determined that the world is set in ancient times and is composed of data. As for whether it's a game or not, that's a matter of opinion."

……

"Hello, children of the prophecy."

Zhang Luo walked forward, looked at the group of bewildered children, and was the first to greet them.

"Prophecy? What prophecy? Do you know us?"

Taichi Yagami came out and wanted to inquire about the current situation, but he heard some words that were worth paying attention to.

"Yes, I do know you." Zhang Luo said in a low voice, "According to the information the Vongola family obtained from the future at the cost of their lives, the seven of you will be the main force protecting the world in the future."

The seven children were stunned. Zhang Luo's words

Chapter 88 Demonic Beast

After briefly introducing the situation to the seven children, they were all confused and could not understand at all.

After a while, when the online craze died down, the seven children finally reacted.

"What you mean is that the dark forces of this digital world will invade the earth, and we will be the main force against them in the future. No, to be precise, it will be our Digimon." Taichi Yagami asked Zhang Luo while turning his head to look at Agumon next to him.

Zhang Luo nodded.

"In other words, this world is really made up of electronic digital devices." Izumi Koshiro suddenly realized.

Zhang Luo nodded again and said, "Yes, we can already tell that this world is a cyber world made entirely of digital electronics. Digimon are all based on creatures that existed in the real world. For example, the bug on the mountain over there is based on a stag beetle, and that shell is based on a dinosaur from the Cretaceous period."

"It's Gougamon and Shellmon," Patamon said.

"Is that so?" Izumi Mitsushiro seemed to understand.

"Then why did you come here? Just to tell us this?" asked Yamato Ishida.

"That's one of our goals, primarily to protect you. While I'm saying I'll protect you, I won't interfere unless you face a life-threatening situation, lest it impact your original development. Another goal is to gather intelligence about this Digital World. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in every battle. The invasion of Earth by the dark forces of the Digital World is inevitable, so we must quickly gather intelligence about the Digital World."

Zhang Luo paused for a moment and said meaningfully, "After all, the future of mankind can't really be counted on a few children."

The children expressed their understanding. Even they themselves could not imagine that the country would hand over the future of mankind to them. This was not an animation or a movie. How could the country have such an idea?

However, the outside world's thoughts on the base were completely different from those of the children. The Digimon's combat power had been clearly demonstrated in the previous battle. While not as powerful as Heroic Spirits, it undoubtedly far surpassed the power of humans, and they naturally had to utilize this power. As for Zhang Luo's words, apart from the ordinary people who were unaware of the situation and the seven children involved, everyone else knew that it was simply to avoid putting too much pressure on the children.

"That's it." Zhang Luo took out something like an amulet from his pocket and threw it to Taichi Yagami.

Taichi Yagami hurriedly caught it, then looked at Zhang Luo in confusion.

"This is a magic prop I made. Put it on your body. Once your life is in danger, I will know." Zhang Luo said.

"Aren't you going to join us?" Tachigawa Mimi asked hurriedly. She had finally met a human being, and a powerful one like Zhuge Kongming. If she could be together, she would feel more secure.

"No, we need to explore this world. People outside are still waiting for the exploration of the new world." Zhang Luo pointed to the camera held by Medea behind him and said that his achievements also required walking around, and it was too boring to follow these children all the time. The novice difficulty copy was not suitable for them.

At Zhang Luo's signal, Medea completely froze the shell beast into a ball of ice, then removed the earth's restraints, allowing it to float over, and then quickly left here in the children's puzzled gaze.

After Zhang Luo and the other two disappeared from sight, Yagami Taichi suddenly screamed, "Not good!"

"What's wrong, Taichi?" Takenouchi Sona looked at Taichi Yagami in confusion.

Agumon also pulled Yagami Taichi and asked, "What happened, Taichi?"

Yagami Taichi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Since Zhuge Kongming and the others can enter this world from the outside, it means they can also leave. We can definitely ask them to send us away."

Everyone else was stunned because the information Zhang Luo revealed was so shocking that they couldn't react. Since the three of them could take the initiative to enter this world, it meant that they could also get out of here.

Shirotosuke said, "I told you before that we should go back to the cliff and wait for rescue, but you insisted on coming."

"Let's catch up now!" Gao Shiyue suggested.
