Chapter 265 Mushroom Beast Soup
After the puppy beast fell asleep, Broly took out the Baya Beast Suit from his personal space, folded it on the ground next to him, and used it as a sleeping rug. He then gently placed the little guy with the golden collar around his neck on it.
The little dog didn't wake up. Broly exhaled, looked at the campfire in front of him, and used his consciousness to open the Crystal Palace panel.
Broly looked at the information on the last day of his stay.
However, his stay in this world was equivalent to 2 days, 3 hours, 11 minutes, and 01 second in the real world, which is a very short stay.
However, in the subsequent instances similar to the previous one where I traveled to Aqua's world, there was a period of time spent in the Digital World.
The time displayed here is 3071 days, 0 hours, 24 minutes, and 33 seconds, with a note that this time is affected by the ratio of the time flow rate in the real world to that in the digital world.
Currently, the time ratio between the real world and the digital world is such that one minute in the real world equals one day in the digital world.
This ratio will actually gradually decrease as the digital world and the real world become more synchronized.
In other words, the dwell time shown on the Broly Crystal Palace panel is fictitious and is not actually more than three thousand days.
However, Broly was unaware of this at the time. After seeing the exaggerated delay, he was initially stunned, but then became quite pleased.
The boy leaned back with complete peace of mind. The long stay made Broly feel that there was no need to rush into finding another wife.
He simply lay down on the ground, using the sky as his blanket, some distance away from the little dog beast, and started to sleep.
The campfire burned all night, only gradually dying down at dawn.
The morning in the dense forest was rather chilly, and the little dog was immediately awakened after feeling a slight chill on its back.
It pricked up its ears and looked around. The dangers it encountered while living alone had made it extremely vigilant.
If it hadn't been so vigilant, it would never have survived to this day.
However, upon seeing Broly beside him, the little dog suddenly realized that he was no longer alone, and his erect ears immediately went down.
"It's a bit cold~"
The little dog sensed that winter was approaching, and seeing the boy still fast asleep on the ground, it didn't hesitate to take the strange green clothes it was wearing from under itself.
Its movements were very slow, as if it were afraid of waking the sleeping boy. It took some effort to cover Broly with the still warm Baya beast clothes.
After doing all that, the little dog remembered that the boy would need to eat after he woke up, so it looked in the direction of the dense forest it had escaped from yesterday, and then ran back with light little steps.
Before long, the little dog arrived at the edge of the orchard from yesterday.
Now that it has four legs, it no longer needs to bump into trees to get fruit.
He simply took two steps back, rushed towards a fruit tree, and leaped onto it.
The little dog used its paws to pick the fruit one by one, and after a while it had picked a whole bunch of fruit.
However, when it came time to take the fruit back, they encountered a problem.
Fortunately, the puppy learned many skills while surviving in this area.
Among them is the ability to imitate Palmon's weaving of vines.
The puppy beast retrieved some vines, and although it no longer had the agile long tail of its Meow Meow beast days, the addition of four limbs allowed it to easily weave a vine net bag.
After putting the fruit into the vine net bag, the little dog beast picked up the net bag and ran back. Considering that Broly had a big appetite, it went back and forth between the fruit grove and the campfire many times.
When Broly woke up, he saw the little beast carrying a vine net bag full of fruit running towards him.
"Did you prepare breakfast for me?"
Broly pointed to a pile of fruit next to him and asked.
"Yes, this is the breakfast I prepared for you."
The little dog wagged its tail and came to the boy's feet, tilting its head up to look at Broly with an expression that Broly seemed to recognize.
After thinking about it carefully, Broly remembered that Aqua sometimes had that expression too, when she had done something remarkable and wanted to be praised and complimented.
"Little Dog Beast, you're amazing! Thank you for preparing breakfast for me."
Broly praised him.
"You're welcome. Preparing breakfast for you, Abu, is what I should do."
The little dog's tail wagged even faster, and its happiness level rose rapidly because it had received praise.
"Abu?"
Broly looked at the little dog beast with a puzzled expression.
"Calling you Raleigh sounds a bit like calling a little girl, but you're a little boy, so I'll call you Abu."
Digimon evolve and their minds grow along with them. The nickname that Meowmon liked during its early stages was not quite right for Puppymon, so it was suggested.
"May I?"
"Of course, you can call me whatever you like."
Broly didn't care and started showing off the fruit he had for breakfast.
"Little dog, you eat too."
However, while eating, Broly didn't forget the little dog beast and invited it to eat the fruit together.
The little dog didn't refuse and lay down on the ground to gnaw on a fruit.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Broly finally asked, "Little Dog Beast, do you have any wishes?"
"desire?"
"That's the goal we want to achieve."
The little dog thought for a moment, then nodded, but quickly shook its head.
"What do you mean?"
Broly didn't quite understand why it was nodding and shaking its head, so he asked directly.
"I had a wish before, and now that wish has come true."
The little dog rubbed against Broly's leg and said something.
Even when it hatched from its Digi-Egg and was still Snowballmon, Puppymon felt that it was waiting for someone.
But it didn't know who it was waiting for until it met Broly yesterday.
"Right now, I don't have any wishes to fulfill, as long as I can be with you, Abu, that's enough for me."
The Puppymon, also known as Protomon, has data from a human pet template inside its body, making it very affectionate.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Puppymon, who was Meowmon before, was always alone. After being rescued by Broly yesterday and fed with Kuwagamon's scissor arm, it developed a strong dependence on Broly.
In addition, Digimon in their growth stage generally have an intelligence equivalent to that of a 7-12 year old human child, and are also in a somewhat clingy stage.
Of course, some Digimon are the naughty type, the kind that are very annoying, but obviously, Puppymon is not that kind of Digimon.
"Of course we'll be together. Hmm, since you don't have any wishes for the time being, little dog, come with me. Let's go find some other delicious food!"
The fruit was just to fill his stomach. Broly was still thinking about the Kugamon that tasted like roasted cicadas from yesterday, and wanted to find another Kugamon, or some other delicious creature.
The little dog hesitated after learning of Broly's goal.
Broly noticed its unusual behavior and immediately asked, "What's wrong, Little Dog Beast?"
"Aren't all other Digimon bad? Can we stop eating the good Digimon?"
The little dog asked.
During its infancy, it also received care from other Digimon.
Although this care was minimal, only occasionally being given a little food when it begged for it, it became the reason it was able to survive its first-generation infancy and evolve into a Meowmon.
Puppymon is not an ungrateful Digimon. Although its personality is still unstable due to its young age, it still remembers the Digimon that once gave it alms.
Kuwagamon is bad; it occupies the orchard and prevents other Digimon from eating it. So it's fine if it eats Kuwagamon, but the other Digimon are just living their own lives. If Kuwagamon were to eat them like this, Kuwagamon would definitely feel terrible.
Of course, if Broly insists, the little dog beast won't object, because Broly is the most important person to it right now.
"Of course, we can eat the bad Digimon."
Broly nodded; his wife's opinion was very important.
"Great! I know some bad guys in the forest who like to bully weak Digimon. I'll take you there to find them, Abu."
The little dog was very happy, jumped up and down on the spot, and then led the way.
The first group to be targeted were a bunch of mushroom beasts.
"These mushroom beasts often travel in packs to steal from weaker Digimon. If the weaker Digimon don't give in, they'll bomb them with small mushroom bombs. Digimon hit by these mushroom bombs will laugh uncontrollably, become paralyzed, and then be beaten up by the mushroom beasts..."
Mushroommon is a Rookie-level Plant-type Virus Digimon with a very wicked personality. It enjoys bullying those weaker than itself and is a bandit in the dense forest. However, when it encounters a stronger Champion-level Digimon, it will bury itself in the ground and pretend to be just an ordinary purple poisonous mushroom.
Have you ever been bullied?
Broly asked.
"These mushroom beasts used to steal my food."
The little dog complained.
"Okay, then let's have mushroom soup today."
Broly licked his lips; he hadn't had the delicious mushroom soup in a long time.
"Uh, but the mushroom beast is poisonous."
The little dog reminded him.
"It's okay, I have the ability to purify water."
Broly was referring to the water purification magic he learned from Aqua, but unfortunately, because of the water-generating magic, he never had the chance to use it.
Broly jumped straight down the slope and landed in the middle of a group of mushroom beasts.
"Who is it?"
The mushroom beast immediately became alert.
When faced with the weak, these purple mushrooms will strike hard.
But when faced with a stronger opponent, they will gather together and release poison simultaneously.
Even powerful Champion-level Digimon generally wouldn't want to provoke a group of Poison Mushroom Digimon.
"I am a Saiyan who picks mushrooms. You mushroom beasts, either pick them for me obediently, or resist and let me pick them for you."
Broly frankly stated his purpose.
Mushroom Beast: "???"
Picking mushrooms, I picked them on the heads of mushroom beasts. What are these things?
The mushroom beast, already a tyrant in the dense forest, immediately flew into a rage.
"Damn it, I know you're human, how dare you provoke us mushroom beasts?"
"Boss, the Gazhi Beast contacted us before, asking us to keep an eye out for any human children in the dense forest."
However, if we find human children and capture them to hand over to them, we can exchange them for many things from those Gazhi beasts.
"Capture this boy, alive, and hand him over to the Gazhi Beast to claim the reward!"
Upon hearing this, the leader of the mushroom beasts' eyes lit up, and he commanded his group of mushroom beast underlings to have the two in front go up and tie up the boy.
"Slap, slap~"
However, the two purple mushroom beasts that went up were knocked unconscious by Broly with a single chop to the neck.
"What?"
The mushroom beast leader stared wide-eyed in surprise, as if it couldn't believe that a mere human child could defeat them, who were Rookie-level Digimon, with a simple chop.
"You've got some skill, no wonder you dare to provoke us. But we Digimon are different from you humans, we have special attacks! Brothers, this guy's tough, let's team up and fight him!"
A group of mushroom beasts gathered around their leader and shouted in unison, "Mushroom Bomb!"
"Bang!"
As the explosion occurred, a cloud of purple toxic smoke rose into the air.
But the next moment, Broly casually waved his hand and dispersed the poisonous mist created by the combined explosion of a group of mushroom beasts.
The mushroom beast opposite was also blown about by the sudden gust of wind and fell to the ground.
"Run! We're no match for them!"
After getting up from the ground, the leader of the mushroom beasts, seeing the other mushroom beasts lying scattered about, immediately realized that something was wrong. He called out and fled towards the bushes.
"Where do you think you're going without my permission?!"
Upon seeing the fleeing mushroom beast, Broly immediately jumped up and, in Mario's mushroom-stomping pose, stomped on the head of the fleeing mushroom beast leader.
In just a moment, this mushroom beast leader, who usually swaggered around in the dense forest with his other mushroom beast underlings, was trampled into a lump of mushroom paste.
While the other mushroom beasts that were preparing to escape were frightened, Broly was also somewhat frightened, because the mushroom beast leader, who had turned into mushroom sauce, simply vanished into data.
After trying a few more times, Broly discovered that any Digimon he killed would quickly turn into data and disappear without a trace.
However, if you want to use mushroom beasts to make soup, you must do so while they are still alive.
Capturing it alive increases the difficulty of dealing with Mushroommon, but this only applies to ordinary Digimon. For Broly, the only problem he needs to consider is how much force to use to knock Mushroommon unconscious without killing it.
As it turns out, it wasn't difficult.
At noon, the thick purple soup was bubbling in the pot.
A group of mushroom beasts began to get acquainted with Broly under the stirring of his magic spoon.
However, the soup made from them was indeed highly poisonous.
After stirring for a while, the spoon in Broly's hand actually melted.
"Abu, maybe we shouldn't eat this."
The little dog was a bit worried and tried to persuade him.
"Don't worry, it's just a poisonous mushroom. I've even eaten swamp poisonous dragon mushrooms before."
Broly cast a water purification spell on the poisonous mushroom soup, and as the spell took effect, the soup changed from dark purple to light purple.
After trying to put a spoon handle in and finding that it didn't melt, Broly took a bite first.
The delicious flavor is unique to mushrooms.
The soup had a slight spiciness, likely due to residual toxins.
However, it didn't affect Broly much.
Broly cast water purification magic twice more on Thondo, finding a balance between neutralizing the toxins and preserving the original flavor of the mushroom soup. Only then did he ask the little dog-beast beside him, "Little dog-beast, would you like to try it?"
Upon hearing this, the little dog nodded, trusting that Broly wouldn't harm it, and received a mushroom soup containing a trace amount of toxin.
Because of the three water purification spells, this almost transparent mushroom soup is far less delicious than the light purple version, lacking many layers of texture and rich flavor.
However, when it took its first sip, the little dog's tail wagged, because it had never tasted even the simplest mushroom soup before.
The data stream reappeared, but this time it appeared on the claw.
The puppy beast raised its paw and extended it, only to find that its paw was already covered with a faint layer of mushroom beast paralyzing toxin.
