Chapter 18

The Call of the Wolf Spirit - Gabumon

"There's a pack of one-eyed wolves resting about 500 meters to the left front. Be careful, everyone," Wang Min said as she emerged from the depths of the forest.

"Have you ascertained their numbers and strength?" Zhang Tian asked.

"There were probably thirty or forty of them. I don't know their strength. I didn't see if there were any three-eyed demon wolves. I was afraid of being discovered by them and getting into unnecessary trouble, so I didn't get too close," Wang Min replied.

"Everyone, let's stop resting and change direction to continue heading back," Zhang Tian immediately decided.

"Okay!" the Skyfire Squad members echoed.

Rumble!!

The Skyfire Squad members had barely left their original spot when suddenly, a series of loud bangs came from a distance behind them, and the violent tremors shook the Skyfire Squad members from side to side.

"What's going on?" Zhang Tian's face was somewhat grim, and an ominous premonition enveloped his heart.

Looking back, one could see that about a kilometer behind, the dust and smoke were so thick that the sky was completely obscured, and nothing could be seen at all.

"Awooo!!"

"Awooo!!"

Suddenly, a series of terrifying roars came from the smoke and dust, deafeningly loud.

A massive figure leaped out, appearing first in everyone's sight—a three-eyed demon wolf, followed by two slightly smaller three-eyed demon wolves.

Before everyone could recover, a pack of one-eyed demon wolves emerged from the dust and smoke. They charged towards the Skyfire Squad with unparalleled ferocity, following their leader, a three-headed, three-eyed demon wolf. Wherever they passed, the mountains and forests trembled.

"Holy crap! Didn't you say you didn't get too close and didn't disturb them?! How come they've all come over now?" Liu Meng swallowed, his voice becoming hoarse.

"I don't know either! I really didn't disturb them!" Wang Min's face turned deathly pale. He couldn't understand how this pack of wolves had suddenly rushed over.

"Never mind that. It looks like we can't outrun them. Let's prepare for battle. Whether we survive or not is up to fate."

Zhang Tian knew he was now at a life-or-death moment, and as soon as he finished speaking, he threw a punch.

Boom! The giant fist of blazing fire roared past like a fiery dragon, trying to devour the entire wolf pack.

"call!"

The three-eyed demon wolf, its mouth full of fangs, opened wide, and a surge of rich energy erupted from its mouth. In an instant, the powerful breath collided with the flames and canceled each other out.

"Damn it! This is at least a mid-level warrior with full combat power." Zhang Tian's face turned pale.

"Ice Lock - Bone Crusher!"

Suddenly, the area where the Skyfire Squad was located became extremely cold and biting, and large patches of frost began to spread rapidly from Liu Lin's feet toward the direction from which the wolf pack was rushing.

"Bang bang bang!"

As the leading three-headed, three-eyed demon wolf stepped into the icy area, countless thick ice chains burst forth from the ground and shot directly toward the three-headed, three-eyed demon wolf.

The three-headed, three-eyed demon wolf was caught off guard and was instantly trapped by the ice chains.

"Clang clang clang!"

The chains of ice intertwined and extended continuously, binding the three-headed wolf in multiple layers.

Before the Skyfire Squad could even relax, a "crack, crack" sound came from the chains. In the blink of an eye, the wolves broke free of the ice chains, and shattered ice fragments were scattered everywhere.

"No, the magic damage is spread across the three-headed warrior-level demons, which is not enough to cause them much harm." Liu Lin quickly realized this.

"We'll try to hold off these three general-level demons. The remaining servant-level demons are your responsibility, Lin Chen," Zhang Tian said after a moment's thought.

"No problem." Lin Chen nodded and summoned both Agumon and Guilmon.

"Since you can summon two beasts at the same time, is it a natural talent?" Zhang Tian asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Lin Chen said.

"We've really struck gold!"

No sooner had Zhang Tian finished speaking than the pack of wolves, which had been galloping at high speed, arrived in front of everyone.

"Ice Lock - Vast Wilderness!"

Liu Lin used the ice chains to imprison the largest three-eyed wolf once again.

"Wind Discharge - Tornado!"

A howling whirlwind suddenly appeared beneath the three-eyed wolf on the left, engulfing it and quickly carrying it away from the center of the battlefield.

"Storm Wave - Exterminate!"

Rou Rou unleashed her magic on the three-eyed wolf to her right. Although the wolf barely dodged it, the remaining wave slammed the two one-eyed wolves behind her into the ground, smashing them to pieces.

Taking advantage of the fact that the three-eyed wolves were tied up, Agumon and Guilmon charged into the wolf pack in a flash.

However, the servant-level Cyclops were no match for Agumon and Guilmon, and seven or eight Cyclops died in their claws in an instant.

"what!"

Just as Lin Chen was about to have Agumon and Guilmon continue to exterminate the Cyclops, he heard a painful scream, followed by the sound of Fluttershy frantically releasing magic.

"Water Control - Circulation!"

Lin Chen turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came and found that Liu Meng, who was originally holding off a small warrior-level three-eyed demon wolf by himself, had been knocked to the ground by the three-eyed demon wolf due to a mistake. If Rou Rou hadn't put on a magic shield in time, he might have already died.

"You're in charge of Agumon's three-eyed wolf," Lin Chen instructed.

Agumon nodded, then turned and rushed over.

Am I going to die?

As Liu Meng watched the three-eyed wolf repeatedly strike the magic shield, he couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.

Just as the three-eyed wolf's front paws were about to strike again, a yellow figure swiftly appeared from the side, knocking the wolf's paws away. Then, three bursts of flames forced the three-eyed wolf back.

"Thank you!" Liu Meng said, then hurriedly scrambled to his feet and punched the three-eyed wolf. The flames struck the wolf's chin, forcing it back several meters.

Just as Liu Meng was preparing to deal with the three-eyed wolf alongside Agumon, he heard Liu Lin's exclamation again; they couldn't hold off the mid-level warrior wolf any longer.

"I'll leave Agumon to you. I'm going to help them." Liu Meng said, blasting the mid-level warrior wolf around before heading towards the battlefield.

As time passed, Lin Chen discovered that after killing several Cyclops Wolves in succession, the Gil Beast was held back by three advanced Cyclops Wolves.

Agumon and the Three-Eyed Wolf were evenly matched, and Zhang Tian and Rou Rou were each at a disadvantage against the two Three-Eyed Wolves they were fighting.

In the original story, it takes at least five mages of the same rank to deal with a demon of the same rank. The fact that the members of the Skyfire Squad were able to do this shows that they are quite strong, but if they are not careful, someone could lose their life on the spot.

Not only that, everyone had to be careful of the sneak attacks from the one-eyed wolves scattered all around. If it weren't for Guilmon's quick reaction speed, Lin Chen alone would have died countless times.

"What should we do?"

Lin Chen suddenly felt a headache coming on. This was the first time he had encountered such a crisis since he came to this world. He was far inferior to his opponent in both strength and numbers.

"If only there were a few more people," Lin Chen thought to himself.

The moment the thought flashed through Lin Chen's mind, he realized that he could have one more Digimon instead of a human!

Lin Chen focused his mind into the ring, and the moment his mind touched the wolf soul, a system notification sounded in his mind.

"Does the host wish to use this wolf spirit to summon a specific Digimon?"

"yes!"

Without any hesitation, Lin Chen directly selected the confirmed option.

"The system has detected that the host's cultivation level is too low. We are now assisting the host in increasing their cultivation level!"

"Host's cultivation has been improved. The system is beginning to summon a specific Digimon for the host!"

"Host's Digimon has been selected, and the Digimon has hatched!"

As system notifications rang out one after another, a flash of blue light appeared, and a Puni Beast appeared beside Lin Chen.

Immediately afterwards, a beam of evolutionary light emanated from Punimon's body.

Punimon leaps to evolution!

Gabumon!

With the appearance of Gabumon, a transparent attribute panel also appeared in Lin Chen's sight. Lin Chen, who had just been feeling a headache, instantly felt relieved, knowing that there was hope.
