Chapter 16 The Neighing of Centaur and Beast
"The end of the month is coming soon. According to our Hongshi Village custom, we have to get together for a meal at the end of every month."
"But because we welcomed you last time, the food stored in the village has almost been eaten, and we need to go to the market over in Chita to purchase more."
"I used to do this all the time."
"Now that we have more Agumon, I just want to be lazy."
"I wonder if you are willing to take on this matter."
Agumon Village Chief sat on his stool, looked at Li Yi and said with a smile.
Li Yi agreed immediately.
"This thing started because of me, and now it's only natural for me to do it."
"But I have never been to Chita, so I may not know the way."
When the Agumon village chief heard this, he waved his hand and said:
"It's simple. All the Digimon in the village work in a red stone mine on that mountain."
"You look at the mountain and walk, find the mine, and then talk to the person in charge there to borrow the rail car that transports the ore."
"Follow the car and you will see Chita when you stop."
"It's the same when you come back. The food you bought can also be transported by rail car."
When Li Yi heard this, he nodded and said:
"In this case, I have no problem."
Seeing this, the head of Agumon Village showed a satisfied expression on his face, then turned around and took out a wooden box and put it in Li Yi's hand.
"Inside are coins made of Digizaloid, used to buy things."
"I guess after buying the food, there should be some left. You can buy something for yourself and the rolling ball beast."
Li Yi took the wooden box and opened it curiously.
Although it has been almost a month since he came to the Digital World, he usually lives and eats in the village, and has never seen the currency of the Digital World.
But after opening it and reading it, I suddenly felt that it was just the same thing.
It looks a bit like Yuan Datou in my memory, but the surface is rough and there is no value mark such as one yuan on the front.
But on the back, there is a stamped head like Yuan Datou.
But they were not the Perfect and Ultimate Digimon that he was familiar with.
After so many days, he had developed the habit of asking the Agumon village chief if he didn't understand something, and he immediately pointed at the avatar and asked:
"Chief Agumon, what kind of Digimon is this avatar?"
After hearing this question, Agumon Village Chief showed a proud expression on his face and said:
"This is Boltmon. It is the ultimate Digimon created by gathering the power of the entire Steel Empire. It surpasses the Perfect Digimon and can stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods!"
"It is the pride of every member of the Steel Empire!"
"Unfortunately, our place is too far away from the capital of the empire. Not to mention the Bolt Beast, even the nine general managers responsible for all aspects of affairs have no chance to see it."
"But don't be discouraged. When I pass the exam, I can transform into Dr. Agumon; or if you, Agumon, evolve into Greymon, there is still a chance."
Li Yi listened carefully on the surface, but he didn't care that much in his heart.
After all, although he still recognized his identity as a Digimon, he was not too interested in the so-called Iron Empire. Anyway, just don't delay your farming.
So he quickly waved goodbye and did not continue to ask questions about which managers the Iron Empire had and what their strength was.
Going all the way south in this way, we soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.
This mountain is what he usually sees in the village. The rocky hill that blocks the red pagoda is also the mine where the Digimon in Red Rock Village usually work.
Because the mountain is not that big, he easily found the location of the mine, and with the help of several Digimon from the village, he successfully got on the rail car heading to Chita.
But what left him speechless was that the one pulling the rail car was not the steam locomotive he imagined.
But——
A centaur!
Through his momentum perception, he instantly determined that this was a powerful mature Digimon.
The specific strength is probably still higher than the Gugamon he met on the first day of his journey.
However, the condition of this centaur is not very good. Its body is entangled in chains made of digital alloy, and some visible whip marks can be seen on its back.
But the one driving this centaur is just a growing Kajimon.
It was a virus-type Digimon that was covered in gray fur and had a pair of long front paws, resembling a mixture of a rabbit and a lynx.
After seeing Li Yi boarding the rail car, he waved the whip in his hand and hit the centaur on the back with a snap as he was about to start.
Then, as if to show off, he snorted to Li Yi.
Seeing this, Li Yi couldn't help but frown.
Although he doesn't have much negative emotions about the centaur's almost slave experience.
But this kind of behavior of deliberately hurting other Digimon just for a little vanity made him very disgusted.
Because the former can be interpreted as for profit, while the latter is simply bad!
The good impression I had for the Iron Empire due to the influence of Agumon Village Chief during this period of time almost disappeared in an instant.
However, he did not stand up and make any righteous accusations.
Because he knows very well that with his current strength, this kind of accusation will not only be useless, but will actually put himself in danger.
It will even affect other Digimon in Red Rock Village.
So he simply closed his eyes and ignored all this.
And the Jiazhi beast couldn't help but show dissatisfaction when it saw Li Yi's reaction.
But just when he was about to take the next step, a whistle sounded.
The Kachimon shivered instantly and began to concentrate on controlling the movement of the rail car.
And the centaur beast that Mo Minqiu had just been whipped silently walked step by step, panting heavily, dragging more than a dozen rail cars filled with ore, and started slowly.
Boom! Boom!
With the efforts of the centaur, the rail car was getting faster and faster, so fast that Li Yi could no longer lie in the car with his eyes closed, and had to hold on to something to stabilize his body.
This made him look at the centaur in surprise, and said in disbelief:
‘This is pulling a dozen rail cars full of ore, and it can run at this speed under such circumstances. If there is no burden, the speed will be amazing!’
‘Mature Digimon are really powerful!’
And just when Li Yi was silently marveling at the speed and power of the Centaur Beast, the Centaur Beast, which was temporarily relieved of its burden under the action of inertia, suddenly looked up to the sky and neighed.
The high-pitched neighing sound, like gold and stone, tears apart the clouds and mist, pierces the sky, and echoes for a long time.
Li Yi didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that in this neighing sound, he could hear a desire for freedom and anger at humiliation.
For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a fondness for this centaur whom he had just met for the first time.
Kajimon, who was sitting at the end of the rail car, curled his lips disdainfully and said:
"What the hell are you calling! If you yell again, be careful and I'll slap you!"
