Chapter 31: The Terminus of the Forest, the Jade Rabbit Beast
Chapter 31: The Terminus of the Forest, the Jade Rabbit Beast
After crossing that sea and coming to the eastern continent, it took less than two days for a multi-way tyrannosaurus beast that evolved into a complete body.
The feeling of finally reaching the destination is a complex mixture of extreme confusion and excitement.
The terminus of the forest, located on the continent east of the Digital World, is also the gateway to the City of Angels.
"Haha, I've finally arrived at the end of the forest."
Looking at the lush forest in front of him, Yabei could hardly suppress the excitement in his heart.
"It's finally here!!"
"Shhh
The demon fox beast made a quiet gesture, signaling Yabei not to get too excited.
"Kaye Dormon is so tired"
The multi-way tyrannosaurus beast that sent everyone to the forest terminal degenerated into a multi-way beast, and finally fainted to the ground due to exhaustion.
"Multi-way beast, are you alright?"
Kaye picked up the multi-way beast in fear.
"It's just very tired"
The Dorwaymon looked at Kaye with innocent eyes, and then fell asleep.
"It seems that I am tired, and I have worked hard for you."
Ryder said, with a smile on his face.
"Let the multi-way beasts rest well, and we'll explore the rest."
"The terminus of the forest is really annoying."
Ledrumon frowned, after all, it was the management realm of the Angel Digimon, and the forest exuded a sacred aura, which made Ledrumon feel very uncomfortable.
"Those hypocrites are in there."
The little monster also sensed the uncomfortable aura of the forest, but it didn't pay too much attention to it.
"Therefore, it is very important to negotiate with the Divine Celestialmon* in the name of Badamon's Digi Egg."
Looking at the Digi Egg in his backpack, Ryder put away his smile.
"Let's go into the forest now."
"But the multi-way beast is asleep."
Kaye seemed a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, Kaye can carry the multi-way beast into the forest with us. After all, time is pressing."
Yabei smiled darkly.
"Since it's everyone's opinion, okay?"
Kaye had no choice but to bow his head, acquiesce to Yabei's method, and honestly carry the multi-way beast.
"Cut, what a useless guy."
The little monster gave Kaye a disdainful look.

There are also few natural landscapes with dense forests that act like natural barriers. Although there were no other Digimon in sight, the same jungle landscape alone was enough to make visitors dizzy.
"Hey...... Demon fox beast, we haven't walked out for so long...... It's hard to say...... That's what it is...... Curse of the Forest!!? ”
Following the demon fox beast that was still leading the way, Yabei was a little uneasy, because almost all the places he passed through were a scene.
"Don't be so imaginative, it's just that the terrain is a little complicated."
The Black Diplomon complained about Kia North, and it really couldn't stand Yabei's nervousness.
"Yabei is a girl after all, so it's not surprising that she will be easily uneasy."
The corners of Ryder's mouth went up slightly.
"I'm just worried that people will get lost."
Feeling that he was being underestimated, Yabei Ma blushed.
"The digital world is not a matter of course for your human world, but I can promise that I will lead you to the right place."
For Yabei to worry about getting lost, the demon fox beast made a guarantee.
"The deepest part of the forest is the teleportation circle leading to the City of Angels, and if you want to come to the City of Angels, you can only appear head-on and negotiate with the guards."
"Those hypocrites are very hostile to humans, and I don't think they will let us in easily."
Hedilumon recalled the words of the Celestial Maiden.
"The truth of five years ago is also the key to the tension between the digital world and the human world."
Ryder is more concerned about what happened in the digital world five years ago.
"I'm afraid I'm not very confident that I will be able to negotiate successfully."
"I think it's okay, as long as the other party is a woman, regardless of race or age, you can easily handle it?"
Yabei looked at Ryder with suspicion.
"Obviously a winner in life who is popular with women"
"That's because Ryder has a charismatic personality!"
Hedilumon corrects Abe's words.
"Compared to you two stupid juniors, Ryder is much better."
"We're stupid, who made Ryder too dazzling."
Yabei refused to admit defeat and argued with the Black Diplomon.
"Why should I be involved?"
Kaye protested quietly.
"Hedilumon and Yabei will wake up the multi-way beast."
Watching the 'ladies' dispute over himself, Ryder 'smiled' and stopped.
"That's all about me."
Yabei glanced at the sleepy multi-way beast.
"Forget it, anyway, I know that arguing with stupid people will only make me stupid."
Eventually, the Hemrumon made a 'concession'.
"Ryder, so I've always been a fool in your eyes."
Yabei rolled his eyes at Ryder.
"Yabei, if you are prejudiced against me, it will make me very distressed."
Ryder smiled helplessly.
"I think I'm very happy."
Yabei continued to roll his eyes.
"No~"
"Absolutely"
"Ryder, you don't have to pay much attention to what she says."
The tone of the Hemdilummon was a little jealous.
"I've been ignored"
Kaye felt like she was a completely airy being, always ignored.
"Kaye has me"
The multi-way beast, which was supposed to be asleep, opened its eyes at this time.
"Multi-way beast, are you awake?"
Kaypi was a little surprised.
"Don't worry, multi-way beast, you better continue to rest."
"Kaye is such a gentle person, the multi-way beast will be refueling in the future, hehe."
A happy smile appeared on the face of the multi-way beast.
"Yes, let's do it together."
The three people and the four beasts talked and laughed all the way, but they were not lonely.

The deepest part of the terminus of the forest is a clearing. On the white altar in the clearing is a teleportation circle depicted with a pentagram pattern, and next to the altar are four white marble pillars representing the east, south, west, and north directions.
This place is also the only place you must pass through to come to the City of Angels.
Outside the altar, three angel beasts are waiting here, alert for an unknown outsider.
As one of the angel beasts was about to change the guard, several figures suddenly appeared in the grass, causing his loose nerves to suddenly rise.
The other two companions noticed his expression, and clenched their weapons as they stared at the figure that flashed in the grass. After the angel beast that first spotted the figure made a gesture with its two companions, the angel beast did not hesitate to fly low and fast to the place where the two intruders were.
At this point, one of the several visitors seemed to sense the sudden intent of war, and stopped and looked vigilantly at the flying Angelmon, two of which were small black Digimon with obvious hostility.
"Stop!"
The angel beast flew down in front of the outsider, pointed the golden long stick in his hand at the other party with an expressionless face, and said in a low voice.
"The land of the Holy Angel City is not a place for you abominable Dark Digimon to set foot in, you have already invaded our land, please leave here immediately, human!!"
After noticing that there were three humans behind the disgusting Dark Digimon, the eyes under the metal mask widened in astonishment for a moment, and the Angelmon's expression was visibly disgusted.
"Human! Get out of here now! If you dare to step into the Holy Land without permission, I will treat you as enemies! ”
"I've disturbed you, noble angel."
A gentle apology echoed the Angel Beast's hostility, and Ryder stepped forward first, a small smile on his face.
"Actually, we have come here to return the Divine Digi Egg to the Divine Celestial Beast, the great ruler of the City of Angels, and I hope you can convey my words and allow us to enter the City of Angels and meet the Divine Celestial Beast."
After finishing his words, the demon fox walked over and took out Badamon's digital egg to prove that Ryder was not lying.
"Human, we still can't trust you."
There is a saying that 'it is difficult to hit a smiling person with a smile', facing Ryder, who was smiling very kindly, the angel beast suppressed the anger in his heart and said calmly.
"Our duty is to guard the teleportation array and prohibit unrelated people from entering the City of Angels. So, I can't let you in. As for the Digi Egg, you can give it to me, and I will transfer the Digi Egg to the Divine Celestial Maiden. ”
"I'm afraid not."
Ryder shook his head regretfully.
"Our main purpose is to meet and communicate with the Divine Maiden, and we have put in a lot of effort to come here, and I hope you can understand our difficulties."
"Human, don't go too far!"
The angel beast's tone revealed uncontrollable anger.
"By letting the Dark Digimon into this sacred forest, we have done our best to treat you as enemies! Now, give me the Digi Egg and leave as soon as possible! ”
"My personality is really bad."
Seeing that the angel beast was so unkind, Yabei was dissatisfied.
"Hmph, that's why I hate these hypocrites."
The little monster beast had a look of disgust.
"If only we could help Ryder, the other party seems to be very stubborn"
Kaye wants to help Ryder, but only Ryder is good at negotiating.
"Ryder is our captain, so it should be fine."
The multi-way beast comforted Kaye.
“”
The Hedilumon was silent, just quietly by Ryder's side, watching him continue to talk to the Angelmon.
However, those golden eyes stared at the angel beast with some resentment.
"It's a shame, but I understand your duties and obligations."
The smile on Ryder's face remained the same, but in response to the Angel Beast's gaze, it contained countless ice needles inside.
"If you don't mind, this sacred digital egg will be in danger~~ Angels with righteous hearts shouldn't want anything to go wrong with this digital egg. We're just fulfilling the simple request of meeting the Divine Maiden."
"Human, You"
Angelmon glared at Ryder with resentment, who knew that humans would use the same despicable tricks as dark Digimon.
"He's right, if you don't want the Digi Egg to be in danger, please let us enter the City of Angels."
Glancing at Ryder unexpectedly, the demon fox beast understood something and cooperated with his performance.
"Ryder doesn't have to be like this, it's better to communicate with them!"
Kaye was taken aback by Ryder's behavior and hurriedly dissuaded him, but was stopped by Yabei.
"Kaye, you can just watch from the sidelines. It's better not to be nosy."
"But"
"That idiot is right, it's enough to give it to Ryder, you just have to stay by and watch."
The Hemdilummon said calmly.
"I won't be deceived by you, even in despicable ways"
Disgusted with humans and dark Digimon, Angelmon broke out in a cold sweat, but didn't want to compromise.
The other two angel beasts waiting on either side of the altar felt tense and planned to press the button on the stone pillar to inform their companions of the current situation.
"What's going on?"
A calm voice came from the altar, and a white beam of light emanated from the altar's teleportation circle, and after the beam dissipated, Digimon that had been large rabbit-like appeared on the altar, and their red eyes stared at the angelmon and several uninvited guests.
"Lord Jade Rabbitmon, humans and Dark Digimon want to enter the City of Angels without permission, and even use DigiEggs to blackmail them."
One of the angel beasts immediately explained the situation to the Jade Rabbit Beast.
"Stand down, and I'll negotiate with this human."
With a simple order for the Angel Beast to stand back, the Jade Rabbit Beast took the initiative to step forward to negotiate with Ryder.
"Do you need to report the slashing angel beast?"
Angelmon wants to ask for its consent to prevent the unexpected from happening.
"No, you wait here first."
The Jade Rabbit Beast said calmly.
"Jade Rabbitmon, Data Species, Full-Body Digimon, the trick is parts bombardment."
Kaye's D-ark shows the Emerald Rabbit's profile.
"This Digimon seems to be easier to communicate with"
"It's actually cute."
Yabei stared at the ears of the Jade Rabbit Beast, in reverie What it would be like if he grabbed the long rabbit ears with his hands.
"First Meeting, Children of Humanity, and Your Partner Digimon"
Completely contrary to Angel Beast's attitude, Jade Rabbit Beast introduced itself to Ryder and the others very politely.
"I am the Jade Rabbit Beast, one of the rulers of the City of Angels."
"Please forgive the stubbornness of the Angel Beasts, as guarding the teleportation array is also an important responsibility for them. You want to enter the City of Angels to exchange the Digi Egg of the Ultimate Angelmon and negotiate with the Divine Maiden*, right? ”
"Yes, since you are one of the rulers of the City of Angels, I think you should also know the truth about the anomaly that happened in the human world a few days ago, right?"
Ryder gets straight to the point.
"We're here for this."
"I apologize to you on behalf of the Celestial Maiden for her actions. Because the Digi Egg of the Ultimate Angelmon is indeed an important treasure for the City of Angels that cares about the future of the country. ”
The Jade Rabbit Beast smiled wryly. Then, it shifted its gaze to the Demon Fox Beast.
"Demon fox beast, your purpose has been achieved."
“”
Looking at the red eyes of the Jade Rabbit Beast, the Demon Fox Beast acquiesced.
"Well, can we enter the City of Angels now?"
Not knowing what the Digimon were trying to say, Yabei asked about the subject.
"The contradiction between humanity and the digital world does need to be resolved, please come with me."
The Jade Rabbit agreed to the request.
"Wait, Lord Jade Rabbit, is this really good?"
Hearing that Jade Rabbitmon had let humans and Dark Digimon enter the City of Angels, the Angelmons looked embarrassed.
"If the Celestial Maiden-sama and the Slash Angel Beast knew that humans and Dark Digimon had entered the City of Angels, they would be furious."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of all the consequences."
The Jade Rabbit Beast's tone was very indifferent, and its voice was very soft.
"For the future of the ideal"
