Chapter IV

From the map, it is just an abstract line segment distance, but in fact, the difficulty of moving forward is far beyond everyone's imagination. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Document Island is nothing more than a small island to the Server Continent, and this eastern desert on the computer map of Mitsuro is countless times larger than the entire Document Island. The distance between its east and west ends is about the same as the sea between File Island and the server continent.

The desert is a desert, and it has a completely different environment from the wasteland I walked before.

Dry, hot, and intensely lit.

Even if I was able to endure it at first, after a few days of continuous trekking, everyone felt unbearable.

"If this continues, my skin will tan." Meimei's complaint was actually just a means for her to divert her attention.

After a long time of progress, the children no longer knew how far they were from the target location.

The compass can no longer correctly guide everyone in the direction of progress, because Mitsukolang's computer is out of power.

This is undoubtedly a difficulty that no one thought of before, even Taiyi, who has not considered this aspect.

There was no one in the team who had a particularly good sense of direction, and even now everyone was wondering if they had deviated from the original direction.

"Huge cactus, where the hell is it?"

"I can evolve into a cactusmon......"

"Don't play with Barumon, we're looking for badges, not cacti."

A small badge of innocence made everyone suffer, but the children did not complain, and they had nothing to say if they had good psychological quality. Even a person with a mature mind like Taiyi was a little unbearable, but seeing the hard work of his companions, he would never give up easily.

Whether it's a matter of being strong or a matter of face, all in all, he persevered.

The word "person" is not only walking on two legs, but also supporting each other. Human beings are creatures that support each other in order to survive.

Taiyi didn't know that it was the hard work and rootedness he showed in front of everyone that gave these half-grown children the motivation to continue their journey.

The power of role models is endless, and it was this week-long trip to the desert that planted the seeds of perseverance in the hearts of children. Even in the face of a confused future, we will never give up hope.

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best thing in the world. Good things never pass.

I don't know how many days I've spent in the desert where there is a lack of water and food, and suddenly the evolution key on Meimei's body has reacted.

She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, making sure the light wasn't really her hallucination.

"Everyone, the badge is nearby. It's my badge. ”

The news was much more exciting than the fact that they had found an oasis in the desert.

When Taiyi heard this, he immediately took out his binoculars and looked around.

The cactus, the giant cactus, is not a mirage, but a truly huge cactus, just behind a chain of sand dunes in the distance.

When they really got closer, everyone stared at the exaggerated plant in front of them.

With a vertical height of sixty or seventy meters, it is almost twenty stories high, and its cylindrical giant stems have a radius of more than ten meters, and the thick branches completely block the sunlight, allowing the children to enjoy the coolness that they have not seen for a long time.

"Ah, the key to evolution......"

The evolutionary key on Mimi's chest floated, and on top of the giant cactus, everyone witnessed a miraculous flowering scene.

From the bones of the blooming flowers, huge stone slabs flew out. The slate turned into a grass-green badge of innocence, inserted with the evolution key.

"Great. Congratulations, Meimei. "Taiyi congratulates.

"In that case, Barumon can evolve too."

"I don't know what it is for me to evolve into a full body, but I really hope to evolve into a 'Super Cactus Beast' as powerful as this cactus." Barumon said wistfully.

"Why haven't I heard of this Digimon?" The beetle beast shook its head in confusion.

"Because it's just Barumon's own imagination." Mitsukoro also said.

"No, I don't. Barummon, you have such strange tastes. Meimei, as the owner of the badge, finally couldn't bear to speak.

Everyone smiled when they heard this, and the fatigue caused by the suffering of the past few days was also relieved a lot.

"Great, now we can finally determine our location again." Asuke pulled out his notebook.

A few days ago, he had already recorded the map on Mitsukolang's computer with a pen. It's just that because there was no reference, it didn't come in handy at the time.

Now, there are giant cacti that can be used as landmarks, and beautiful compasses can come in handy again.

"Asuke, you're still very reliable." The Gommer slapped Asuke on the back vigorously, causing him to complain.

"Judging from the map, there is an enchantment of the fairy beast not far away. The direction is southwest. Based on the speed at which we have been moving forward in the past few days, it will only take half a day's journey to get there. ”

"Will the elven beasts welcome us?" Meimei said uncertainly.

"The old man said yes, it should be." Suna wasn't sure what to say.

"It's shady under the shadow of the cactus, let's have lunch here now and rest for a while, and then let's continue our journey."

In the past few days, Taiyi has been keeping everyone's emergency rations, but he turned his head to look at Ah He with some hesitation, and opened his backpack in front of Ah He.

"What is this? What about emergency rations. Ah He asked, looking at the strange thing in front of him.

"In fact, this morning, the emergency rations were exhausted. I just didn't tell you. ”

"Huh? So what's in your bag? ”

"It's jerky."

Although Taiyi said so, the hard erections in Taiyi's bag didn't look like edible at all.

"Because I was worried that one day I would run out of food, so I went with the Battle Agumon to prepare a reserve of food these days, although it looked a little ...... Lizards in the desert are also edible. ”

Ah He heard the word lizard and hurriedly took a step back. However, Gabumon was not afraid at all, but looked at Fighting Agumon and said, "Fighting Agumon, weren't you a reptilian Digimon originally?" Aren't lizards of your kind? ”

"These lizards aren't Digimon. If it's a Digimon, it won't leave a corpse behind when it dies. ”

"That's right." Gabumon nodded, and took out a piece of jerky from his bag and nibbled on it.

"Lizards? Don't ...... "Meimei would rather eat nothing than eat this disgusting thing."

"Actually, it tastes good." Barumon advised her.

"Taiyi said that you can eat it, it should be fine." Su Na looked at the food with a very problematic image, but she really didn't have any appetite.

"Suna, it tastes delicious." The bhikshu beast stuffed the jerky into his mouth with a satisfied expression.

"Even if you say so...... Suna took a small slice, it was dry, and she couldn't taste anything. She immediately remembered that Digimon and humans had different taste systems.

Eventually, only three humans, including Taiichi, ate the lizard jerky, but all six Digimon ate it. Hungry Ahwa, Awu, Mimi, and Suke, it seems that they have no appetite just by seeing the lizard meat.

It seems that not only Wangmei can quench thirst, but sometimes jerky can also quench hunger.

A meal can still be a little bearable.

After the break, everyone raised their fighting spirit again and set off towards the location of the badge of friendship and knowledge.

Below is a screenshot of the giant cactus in episode 17 of the anime. The picture includes a cruise ship, a cactus, and the selected children.

As you can see from the picture, this thing is so terrifying that it may be more than 20 stories high. It may be more than 100 meters high.
