Chapter 7
Encounter with the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf
Looking at the Guilmon in front of him, Lin Chen was overjoyed; this was yet another powerful Digimon.
"Panel." Lin Chen murmured to himself, and a transparent attribute panel for Guilmon appeared in his mind.
Name: Guilmon
[Type: Reptile]
[Level: Growth Stage]
[Strength: High Servant Level]
[Skills: Flame Claw, Blazing Rock Smash]
[Ultimate Skill: Flame Bullet]
"A Great Servant-level creature, yet its strength is significantly weaker than Agumon's. That shouldn't be the case." Lin Chen frowned and muttered to himself, "Could it be because Agumon is an Ancient Tyrannosaurus while Guilmon is a Reptilian type?"
"That's very likely the reason. We need to find a way to improve Guilmon's foundation later," Lin Chen pondered for a moment and answered his own question, "But now we need to find an opportunity to test Guilmon's strength."
After three days of cultivation, Lin Chen prepared to inquire about the current situation in Bo City from Mo Fan and the others.
When Lin Chen found Ye Xinxia, he learned from her that two days ago, the Sky Eagle Mage Corps of the Special Operations Department came to Bo City to provide support and began hunting down the general-level demons roaming the city.
The remaining slave-level demons were hunted down by small teams of mages from the safety barrier, who used the safety barrier as a focal point, slowly reclaiming the territory that belonged to humanity from the demons.
Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, and others have also joined in, beginning to hunt down the demons in the city.
Upon learning this news, Lin Chen immediately took Guilmon back to Bo City without saying a word. One reason was to test Guilmon's strength, and the other was to take this opportunity to collect the essence and remnants of demons.
……
"Flameball!"
The flames spewed from Guilmon's mouth struck a giant-eyed rat, instantly turning it into a black charcoal. However, this attack enraged the remaining giant-eyed rats, who then launched an attack on Guilmon.
Guilmon suddenly increased its speed and charged directly at the attacking giant-eyed rat. With a swipe of its right paw, Guilmon knocked one of the giant-eyed rats away and knocked down the giant-eyed rats behind it.
"Coo coo!!"
Instead of immediately launching another attack on Guilmon after being repelled, the giant-eyed gorillas scattered in all directions and surrounded Guilmon.
Seeing the giant-eyed gorilla's unusual movements, Guilmon showed no fear and charged straight at the giant-eyed gorilla closest to it.
"Watch out, Guilmon!"
Lin Chen, who was four or five meters away from the battle zone, noticed that the pupils of the giant-eyed gorillas were contracting violently, and immediately shouted loudly.
As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, beams of scarlet light shot out from the giant-eyed ape's pupils at an astonishing speed.
Just as the crimson beam was about to hit Guilmon, Guilmon stomped its legs on the ground, its entire body leaping into the air, narrowly dodging the giant-eyed gorilla's attack.
Immediately afterwards, Guilmon increased its speed again, covering the nearly ten-meter distance in less than a second.
"Gurgle!"
The giant-eyed ape's eyes revealed shock, and it let out a terrified cry.
"Pfft!"
The claw blade flashed, and a wound appeared precisely on the giant-eyed ape-rat's head, splitting its skull in two. Bright red blood spurted out, splattering all over the ground.
As the giant-eyed ape slowly collapsed to the ground, the remaining giant-eyed apes looked at the Gilmon with horror in their eyes.
"Coo coo coo!!"
With a roar from one of the giant-eyed gorillas, the remaining giant-eyed gorillas scattered in all directions.
Upon hearing the sound, the Gilmon immediately turned around, opened its mouth, and spewed out streams of flame that hit the giant-eyed gorilla with the precision of bullets.
"call!"
Flames burned on the giant-eyed gorillas, and the burning sensation made it impossible for them to escape. They fell to the ground one by one, rolling around repeatedly trying to extinguish the flames.
Meanwhile, the Guilmon seized the opportunity to reach the Giant-Eyed Rats and kill them one by one.
call!
As the giant-eyed ape died, five remnant souls emerged from its corpse and floated towards the ring on Lin Chen's left hand.
"Good job, Guilmon!" Lin Chen walked up to Guilmon, reached out and patted its head, showing his approval of Guilmon's strength.
After emerging from the safety barrier, Lin Chen and Guilmon encountered many lone servant-level demons along the way, all of which Guilmon easily dealt with.
Until he encountered the six giant-eyed gorillas, Lin Chen was initially worried that Guilmon might not be able to handle them and was preparing to summon Agumon, but Guilmon refused to do so.
The final battle proved to Lin Chen that although Guilmon was slightly weaker than Agumon, it was still a powerful Digimon compared to other servant-level monsters.
……
"roar!"
After dealing with the giant-eyed gorilla, Lin Chen and the Gilmon were continuing their search for demons in Bo City when they suddenly heard a roar.
It sounded like a wolf howling. Lin Chen was very familiar with the sound; he had heard it quite a few times recently.
The next moment, accompanied by heavy breathing, a sound like muffled thunder entered Lin Chen's ears.
"Such a commotion, could it be the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf?!"
The moment the thought crossed Lin Chen's mind, a ferocious demon wolf, about two stories tall, with three eyes, a body as sturdy as steel, and sharp horns and bony spikes, appeared at the edge of Lin Chen's sight.
Wow, that's incredibly lucky! I could buy a lottery ticket!
Lin Chen was startled and quickly pulled Guilmon to a corner, not daring to breathe.
A general-level demon is a being far more powerful than a mid-level mage, and Lin Chen didn't think he could handle it with his current strength.
"Knock knock knock!!"
"Knock knock knock!!"
As the three-eyed wolf drew closer, its heavy footsteps grew increasingly deafening, and Lin Chen and Guilmon even felt several nearby houses trembling noticeably.
"Didn't they say the Sky Eagle Mage Corps had already been clearing out the general-level demons in the city? How come there's still such a huge three-eyed demon wolf roaming around here?" Lin Chen couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Thump!!"
"Thump!!"
The footsteps grew closer to Lin Chen and Guilmon. Hiding in the corner, Lin Chen pressed himself tightly against the wall, hoping that the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf wouldn't notice him and would leave directly from there.
But reality is often the opposite of hope. Instead of leaving immediately, the three-eyed wolf stopped near a house not far from Lin Chen and lay down to rest.
"ah!!!"
"This three-eyed demon wolf is fearless! The Sky Eagle Mage Corps is besieging them, and instead of fleeing Bo City, it's resting here!!!"
Feeling the huge commotion as the three-eyed wolf crouched down, Lin Chen's heart jumped into his throat.
I'm doomed!
As time passed, Lin Chen, who was hiding in the corner, gradually calmed down.
Lin Chen found it strange. At such close range, the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf should have found him quickly according to its sense of smell, but so much time had passed and the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf still hadn't found him.
After a while, unable to contain his curiosity, Lin Chen slowly moved toward the location of the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf, wanting to see what was going on.
But when Lin Chen poked his head out, he immediately realized he was in big trouble.
Not far away, the three-eyed wolf had one lantern-sized eye open, and by sheer coincidence, its gaze met Lin Chen's.
In an instant, the air seemed to freeze.
