Chapter 18 Branches, King of the Forest

 As Hualanmon spoke, she turned around quickly, rummaged through a pile of shelves, and quickly found the gift she was talking about.

A broken branch.

Li Yi was originally a little curious, but at this time he couldn't help but be disappointed.

Because no matter how he looked at it, he just thought it was an ordinary branch.

Probably because his disappointed expression was too obvious, Hualanmon could see it at a glance, and immediately snorted and said angrily:

"You really have no eyesight. You shouldn't think that I'm fooling you with ordinary branches."

Li Yi nodded silently in his heart, is it possible?

However, he was not a fool who didn't understand anything. When he heard Hualanmon's words, he immediately understood that this branch might have some tricks, so he asked humbly:

"I don't know much, why don't you introduce Hualanmon to me?"

Seeing Li Yi's good attitude, Huala Beast looked a little brighter, nodded and said:

"Okay, seeing as your attitude is quite sincere, I'll reluctantly tell you."

"It is said that far, far away, there is a forest called Nemi."

"In that forest, there is a dreamlike small lake in the forest. And the branch in my hand was picked from a big tree beside the small lake in the forest."

"It is said that any Digimon, whether it is an infant, a growth stage, a mature stage, or a complete body, or a plant type, a beast type, or a human form, as long as it can pick a branch from any tree, it will instantly possess transcendent perfection.

The strength of the body, and the title of 'King of the Forest'."

Li Yicai was attentively listening to Hualamon's explanation at first, but as he listened, he couldn't help but laugh, shook his head and said:

"This is too ridiculous. You can gain power beyond the complete body by picking off a branch. It's like a fairy tale told to children."

When Hualanmon heard this, he was not annoyed at all, but said quietly:

"A fairy tale? It's just that you haven't heard it to the end."

"After picking off a branch and becoming the king of the forest, that Digimon must patrol around the big tree sleeplessly."

"Because once another Digimon repeats his behavior and breaks off a branch from that big tree, his power and life beyond the complete body will be taken away by the new person along with the branch."

"Over the years, the person holding the title of King of the Forest has changed countless times."

"This also means that the lives of countless Digimon are dissipated there."

"Now, do you still think this is a fairy tale?"

Hualamon's voice became colder little by little, which made Li Yi subconsciously recall the coldness that lingered on his body like tentacles when he entered the forest to kill the goblin beast.

Then, he muttered unhappily:

"Whether it's a story about the forest or the Digimon in the forest, it's always like this, can't it be normal?"

When Hualanmon heard Li Yi's complaint, a smile flashed across his face, and then he continued to ask in that cold tone:

"How about it, do you still dare to buy gifts from me now?"

What Li Yi said:

"What dare you do! If it dares to act like a monster, one day when I am strong enough, I will directly blow up the King of the Laoshizi Forest and the tree as well!"

"But whether you dare or not is one thing, whether you buy it or not is another matter."

"Your stories are fantastic, but you still haven't told me what the use of this branch is."

"It can't be like the story, giving the person who owns it the power to transcend the complete body, right?"

Hualanmon rolled his eyes and said angrily:

"You are so beautiful. If this branch had this effect, it would be your turn!"

"It has only two effects. One is that no matter how much time passes, it will remain evergreen and remain as green as it is now."

"Second, if the plant-type Digimon carries it in the forest, it will gain some benefits. For example, it will be harder to be discovered by enemies, and the efficiency of absorbing data from sunlight and the earth will become higher."

"Speaking of which, my current situation is largely due to the protection of this thing."

"But now I am busy running plantations and food stores every day. I have not been to the forest for a long, long time. There is a high probability that I will not have the opportunity to return to the forest in the future."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't sell it to you."

"Just tell me if you want it or not!"

The more Hualanmon talked, the angrier he became, and in the end he even yelled at Li Yi directly.

When Li Yi heard this, he reached out and took the branch and looked at it for a while, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't see anything strange.

For a moment, he was a little hesitant. He didn't know if Hualanmon was deceiving him or if he was simply blind.

But just when he hesitated, suddenly, the badge representing innocence shook slightly in his conscious space.

In an instant, he made a decision.

"Okay, I want this branch."

"How much does it cost?"

Hualamon felt a little surprised when he heard Li Yi suddenly changed his expression, and then made a decisive decision.

She could clearly see the hesitation on Li Yi's face just now.

Moreover, based on her past experience, non-plant-type Digimon cannot sense the strangeness of this branch.

This is also an important reason why she has been able to keep this branch for so many years.

And now——

‘What a strange Agumon.’

Hualamon said silently in his heart, and then glanced at Li Yi, who had calmly grasped the branch in his hand, and suddenly felt a trace of reluctance in his heart.

But the habit of running a business for so many years prevented her from saying anything regretful, so she could only say in a firm tone:

"All the money you have!"

After hearing this, Li Yi pushed the money in the box to the other party without saying a word.

This decisive action made Hualanmon dumbfounded again, and he said blankly:

"Why doesn't this guy counter-offer?"

"You're making a counteroffer!"

If I make a counter-offer, wouldn’t I be able to take advantage of the situation and not sell it!

Li Yi couldn't help but laugh when he heard Hua La Beast's words sounded like Mrs. Xianglin's, and said:

"Since what you said is true, then I am the one who can buy it with this little money."

"How can you bargain with that cheap Digimon?"

Hualanmon was already filled with a sigh of relief, but now that he heard Li Yi repeatedly saying "taking advantage", he only felt a burst of pain in his heart.

He immediately covered his body and said sadly:

"Stop talking, stop talking!"

Li Yi accepted it as soon as he saw it, and was about to pick up the package with food and leave, so as not to continue to irritate this 'kind-hearted' Hualan beast.

But just as he was about to turn around and leave, a sudden and uniform sound of 'clang' and 'clang' sounded from behind him.

He followed the sound and saw a group of energetic, impressive and uniform Agumon walking past the food store with square steps.

But unlike the Agumon he had seen, these Agumons all held digital alloy axes that shone with cold light.
