Chapter 52 Breath on the Lake
Click! Click!
Li Yi was walking in the forest with the beta beast, and the dead branches and leaves under his feet made sounds from time to time.
Because there was no mental fog blocking his vision and sunlight, he moved much faster this time.
Under his calm leadership, Betamon, who had just entered the forest for the first time, became more relaxed and even began to leisurely observe the situation around the forest.
However, due to the previous battle between Ogamon and Forest Shellmon, most of the Digimon living in Mirror Lake Forest suffered misfortune, so the forest at this time was particularly empty.
As a result, Betamon searched for a long time and couldn't find any trace of Digimon's activities.
This made him disappointed and said:
"What!"
"The forest doesn't feel as dangerous as everyone says!"
Li Yi smiled and shook his head without explaining, but his attention never relaxed.
I don't know if his vigilance had an effect. In the next few hours, neither he nor Betamon encountered any other Digimon.
This made him feel happy, but also a little speechless.
“All my mental preparation was in vain!”
But just when he was about to move forward with Betamon, Betamon suddenly stopped, tilted his ears and said happily:
"Agumon, Agumon, I seem to hear the sound of water!"
"Are we going to Mirror Lake?"
When Li Yi heard Betamon's words, he subconsciously thought that Betamon was tired from walking, so he had such random thoughts.
Because he remembers very clearly that this is the place where he killed the second Boogermon with the help of Captain Agumon.
It’s still about an hour’s walk from Jinghu Lake.
How is it possible to hear the sound of Jinghu Lake from such a long distance!
But just when this idea just appeared in his mind, suddenly, a cool breeze passed through the forest and hit his face with moist water vapor.
Let him freeze in place!
Because his data core told him that such humid water vapor can only be found near water sources.
No more than one kilometer at most!
However, the memory also stored in the digital core told him that this place is at least ten kilometers away from Jinghu Lake.
One question, but two answers!
This made him have to doubt——
"Is the computer crashed?"
Li Yi nervously tapped his chest with his paws, just like he did when he was a child when there were snowflakes on the TV.
But the Betamon on the other side didn't have such worries and ran straight forward.
Seeing this, Li Yi had to keep up.
Then after walking a few steps, he pushed aside a branch, and a large lake that could not be seen to the edge appeared in front of him and Betamon.
"This, how is this possible?"
Li Yi subconsciously gestured with his hand to the Jinghu Lake he saw last time, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Although it was already dark at the time, I couldn’t see very clearly.
But he still clearly remembered that he could see the other side of Jinghu Lake.
But now, even if you look far away, you can only see a white mist.
This huge gap between reality and memory made him stunned.
On the contrary, Betamon on the side saw Mirror Lake for the first time, so he naturally accepted that Mirror Lake should be this big.
Then, he took a few steps to run, jumped hard, plunged into the lake, and started swimming happily.
While swimming, he shouted to Li Yi:
"Agumon, the water here is so comfortable."
"You come down too!"
Li Yi came back to his senses under the cry of Beta Beast.
But before he could say anything, he suddenly heard a rumble, like the sound of thousands of troops galloping.
Because the sound was too loud, his and Betamon's heads felt as if they had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, making them dizzy for a while.
When I came back to my senses, a huge wave of seven or eight meters high had already rolled in water mist and surged from the center of the lake to the shore.
When Betamon, who was playing happily just now, saw this scene, his green-skinned face turned white with fear.
Then it swung its four paws and a short tail desperately and ran towards the shore.
But——
Although the sharp single claw gave him good attack power, it made him swim slowly in the water.
Seeing that the seven or eight meter high wave was about to hit him hard, he was still a little far away from the shore.
But at this moment, Li Yi suddenly charged over, grabbed the Beta Beast that was still in the water, then turned around and ran away!
The huge wave followed him less than one meter behind him, and the roar like thunder kept exploding.
The splashing water droplets hit him like stones, causing him pain!
All of this made Li Yi understand what kind of power the huge waves behind him were carrying, and he ran harder and harder!
He didn't know how much he ran in one breath, but he didn't dare to stop until the roar of the huge waves behind him had disappeared.
Then I looked back and saw that I had already run several hundred meters.
And through the road that he ran all the way, he could vaguely see that the huge wave had receded.
At the same time——
"This lake has expanded again!"
Li Yi looked at it again and again before finally making a judgment.
And at this moment, a faint muffled breathing sounded over the distant lake.
Li Yi vaguely felt that with the sound of breathing, the fog on the lake had changed.
But because of the layers of branches, he couldn't see the whole picture clearly.
But the thrilling encounter just now made him never want to run to the lake again.
After finally looking around, he came up with an idea——
Climb a tree!
Although his body is not suitable for climbing trees, but——
"I have enough confidence in my claws!"
Li Yi lowered his head and glanced at his claws, which had begun to shine with metallic luster after being strengthened several times, and said softly.
The next second, he stabbed a tree next to him with his left paw, directly piercing the trunk.
Then, stab the right paw thirty centimeters above the left paw.
Next, his two claws staggered into the tree trunk, and then used the upper claws as the point of force to drive his body up slowly.
After climbing like this for three or four minutes, we finally reached two-thirds of the height of the trunk.
At this time, he felt that if he continued to climb up, the trunk of the tree might break.
Not wanting to experience a broken back, he decisively chose to stop going up and then looked towards the center of the lake.
There, a huge vortex is slowly shrinking.
And the deep breathing he just heard came from a familiar Digimon in the center of the whirlpool!
Alukamon!
And the moment Li Yi saw Alukamon's body, the whirlpool completely disappeared, and then——
A huge column of air displaces hundreds of meters of lake water and rushes into the sky.
The drained lake water accumulated outwards, and in just a blink of an eye, a huge wave more than ten meters high appeared in Li Yi's sight.
Boom! Spreading in all directions!
At this moment, Li Yi finally understood the cause of the vibration he felt not long ago, and the source of the huge wave that almost killed him and Beta Beast.
All of this comes from Alukamon’s breath one after another!
