Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 62 Brigitte
After much anticipation, the being behind the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear finally slowly revealed its figure.

It was an extremely beautiful soul beast, emerald green in color, and shaped like a swan. The moment I saw it, many beautiful words unconsciously appeared in my mind: friendly, gentle, noble...

Its entire body seems to be carved from emerald gemstones, especially its wings. Every feather is so gorgeous and dazzling, and the fresh emerald green color is full of life. One can tell at a glance that this is the darling of life and the servant of the goddess of nature.

But the only flaw is that the several burn marks on the soul beast's back somewhat destroy its beauty, and its dim eyes and slow pace reveal a bit of decadence.

"Emerald Swan?!" Lin Yi couldn't help but exclaimed, and then he felt ecstatic. The Emerald Swan was the most suitable soul beast for Lin Qingxuan. As one of the rare soul beasts with life attributes in the Star Dou Great Forest, it was born with the pure vitality of nature. It was extremely fragile and prone to death in its infancy, but if it could grow up, it would be the strongest auxiliary and could be called the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower in the soul beast world.

The strongest of this clan is Brigitte, the Emerald Swan, one of the four most ferocious beasts.

But the one in front of me is obviously not.

Surprise also flashed in Moon's eyes. As an Extreme Douluo, he knew more. The Emerald Swan clan had always been small in number because they were too fragile. It was not until Brigitte grew up and gathered her own clansmen that the situation improved slightly.

And Brigitte is one of the few soul beasts who has no prejudice against humans. In other words, Brigitte treats every life with kindness. Her compassionate character makes Brigitte very prestigious among soul beasts.

And during the beast tide a hundred years ago, it was this Brigitte who tried her best to mediate, which led to several soul beast kings signing a peace agreement with humans. Therefore, among the human upper echelons, this Brigitte also has some face.

Therefore, when facing Biji's people, even if this emerald swan is very suitable for Lin Qingxuan, Moon would never easily use it as Lin Qingxuan's soul ring. What's more, judging from the aura of this emerald swan, it is actually a hundred thousand year old soul beast. However, for some reason, its source of energy seems to have been severely damaged.

After quickly explaining the situation to Lin Yi and his family, Moon looked at the alert Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the indifferent Emerald Swan and asked, "Why are you two here?"

The Emerald Swan was somewhat surprised as to why these humans had not taken action, and was even more puzzled as to why this human had taken the initiative to communicate.

Although not as compassionate as the clan leader Brigitte, the gentle Emerald Swan still replied: "Humans, hello, we come here following an extremely pure breath of life."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Lin Qingxuan and sighed, "It seems that it is not a rare treasure."

Looking at the burn marks on the emerald swan's back and the dusky aura emanating from its body, Moon probably understood that the emerald swan had been seriously injured, so it sensed the breath of extreme life here, and thought that only natural treasures with life attributes would come here.

But unfortunately, this place was the bait released by Lin Qingxuan in order to find the soul ring.

"Humans, who are you and why are you here?"

"Old man, Shrek, Moon."

A hint of surprise flashed in the Emerald Swan's eyes, and then she lowered her head slightly. "So it's His Majesty the Dragon God in person. My apologies."

"You actually recognize this old man?"

"Although I did not participate in the holy war a hundred years ago, I heard of Your Majesty's reputation when I cared for the injured of my own people afterwards."

"So that's how it is. We are here to find a suitable spirit ring for my younger generation."

"Looking at its aura, it seems to have the same life attribute as me?"

"good."

The fifty thousand year old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was already quite intelligent. Upon hearing this, it immediately burst out with terrifying might and attacked Lin Yi and the others, slightly raising its giant claws as if it was going to attack them the next moment.

The Emerald Swan lifted its wings slightly to block the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's sudden movement and subsequent attack.

Moon easily resisted the terrifying might emanating from the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Are you going to attack me?"

Emerald Swan's voice was slightly anxious, yet still gentle. "Your Majesty has misunderstood. We hold no hostility towards you. He simply overreacted when ordered to protect me. Please forgive me."

"Order? Whose order?"

"Of course it's Chief Biji and Lord Xiongjun."

"So, you have a high status. How could you be seriously injured and severely damaged?"

The Emerald Swan paused for a moment before speaking, "Your Majesty has good eyesight. My origin is indeed severely damaged."

"Can you tell me and listen?"

"Your Majesty, if you can speak, then of course it's fine. This matter has to start from the holy war a hundred years ago. In that holy war, the soul beasts suffered heavy losses, and countless people were seriously injured afterwards. The clan leader naturally did not want to see so many lives lost, so he tried his best to treat them. We couldn't bear to see the clan leader busy alone, so we joined in."

"As for me, because I consumed too much of my essence while healing the soul beast, I unexpectedly encountered the 100,000-year heavenly tribulation early. Although I luckily survived the tribulation, the lightning tribulation damaged my essence. In the past, even the chieftain of the Biji clan personally tried to heal me, but she was unable to heal my injuries. This is why I hurried here because I sensed the pure breath of life. Your Majesty, please forgive me for any offense."

Moon said calmly, "It's okay."

Then there was an unspeakable silence.

As if sensing the change in atmosphere, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear growled uneasily. The Emerald Swan raised its wings and gently stroked its thick arms, as if trying to soothe the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's emotions.

Knowing that these humans were here to obtain spirit rings and that they were no match for them, they secretly regretted their impulsiveness. Then, the Emerald Swan's eyes flickered slightly, as if they had made a decision. "Your Majesty, I am willing to become the spirit ring of your junior. Could you please let it go?"

Upon hearing this, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was about to explode, but was frightened by the Emerald Swan's stern look and dared not move. It was obvious that the Emerald Swan had a special place in its heart.

It is definitely not as simple as what the Emerald Swan said before, that it was protecting it on the orders of Brigitte and Mr. Bear.

Moon didn't answer Emerald Swan's question, but instead asked, "There's something interesting about you and this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Would you like to tell me about it?"

The beast was under the eaves and had to bow his head. "If Your Majesty wants to listen, I will tell Your Majesty."

Afterwards, the Emerald Swan seemed to be lost in memories, its black pupils revealing a human-like look of reminiscence.

After a long pause, he slowly spoke, "That was ten thousand years ago, before I even broke through the 100,000-year barrier. Chief Biji and Lord Bear brought it to me when it was still young. Because it was born weak and had difficulty growing, they hoped I could take care of it."

"Since Chief Brigitte asked me personally, I naturally agreed. After that, I often nurtured it with my vitality. Slowly, the little guy gradually completed his foundation and grew up smoothly, becoming the behemoth it is today." The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear growled, and his cold eyes were now full of admiration.

The Emerald Swan said it simply, but Lin Yi seemed to see a little bear cub being cared for by the Emerald Swan in the past, gradually growing strong enough and slowly starting to show the terrifying combat power of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. This is a story of cultivation.

Ten thousand years ago, you raised me, and ten thousand years later, I will protect you. The emotions among soul beasts unexpectedly possess such truth, kindness, and beauty.

Thinking of something, Lin Yi said, "So, a hundred years ago, you didn't hesitate to overdraw your own essence just to save it?"

Although somewhat surprised by Lin Yi's sharpness, the Emerald Swan nodded. "Yes, in that holy war a hundred years ago, it was seriously injured and nearly died. It took me a lot of effort to save it."

Lin Yi was somewhat moved by what he heard. Ouyang Xi suddenly said, "Their so-called holy war is to fight against us humans. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was injured because it was seriously injured when it killed humans."

Lin Yi didn't feel anything about this rare bond at the moment, as it was just two soul beasts.

However, Lin Yi's eyes rolled around, as if he had thought of some bargain he could get.

The golden tree was summoned, and a soul force of ultimate life was emitted and penetrated into the body of the emerald swan. An extremely pure life force immediately spread into the body of the emerald swan. The indescribable feeling of comfort made the emerald swan couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

Looking at Lin Yi in surprise, the Emerald Swan said in astonishment, "So that aura just now originated from you, but the fluctuations seem to be much weaker."

Lin Yi's eyes twitched. "Will it help with your injury?"

"A little bit, not much use," I answered subconsciously. Suddenly, Emerald Swan's eyes widened. "You want to heal my injury?"

Lin Yi didn't reply and put his hand on his father's back again. Lin Qingxuan immediately understood what his son meant.

The Life Wutong was transformed into the ultimate life attribute, and Lin Qingxuan's first to sixth soul rings flashed alternately. It was obvious that he had tried his best except for his martial soul true body. If his martial soul true body had not been cooling down after being used a few days ago, Lin Qingxuan would have wanted to use his martial soul true body as well.

Soul power filled with ultimate life continuously flows into the Emerald Swan's body. The refreshing feeling brought by the pure vitality makes the Emerald Swan unable to resist at all. Its body, which has been almost rusted, seems to be revitalized.

But soon, the Emerald Swan discovered that this was just an illusion. Its tattered body and broken origin made it impossible for its vitality to be retained, which was somewhat similar to Moon's physical condition at the time.

Feeling that the injection of life was of no use to him, the Emerald Swan sighed, knowing that he was doomed to die, and the turnaround he had been expecting never came.

"So you are here."

A female voice was heard, and before the voice fell, a beautiful green figure suddenly appeared.

The person who came was a woman, a peerless beauty in human form, with long emerald green hair draped behind her head, eyes that were also emerald green, a slender figure, and a water-green long dress that perfectly outlined her slender body. A pair of snow-white arms like tender lotus roots were exposed.

The most peculiar thing is that there is a pair of wings behind her, a pair of wings that look like they are carved from gems, and they are somewhat similar to the emerald swan, but more gorgeous.

If the emerald swan just now was the servant of the goddess of nature, then the woman who arrived at this time was the real body of the goddess of nature. The rich breath of life gathered on its own, and the force of life became extremely active, as if singing praises to the goddess of nature.

"Clan leader."

Being called the patriarch by the Emerald Swan, the identity of this peerless beauty is self-evident. She is none other than Brigitte, one of the ten most ferocious beasts.

Brigitte wanted to say something to the emerald swan, but her eyes suddenly caught sight of the skinny old man over there.

"Dragon God Douluo, Moon! Why are you here?"

"I originally wanted to bring some juniors to obtain spirit rings, but unexpectedly I met your people and chatted with them for a while." Facing Brigitte, Moon did not hesitate and directly stated his purpose, but he secretly increased his vigilance.

Brigitte's eyes narrowed. These humans came to hunt soul beasts again. This time, were they targeting their own people?

Brigitte, who had a bad feeling, hurriedly asked the Emerald Swan in her ethnic language, and then she learned that her own people had actually sensed the pure breath of life and came here on their own initiative. Moreover, after hearing about its story, these humans actually wanted to save it.

After understanding what happened, a hint of tenderness flashed in Brigitte's eyes, and there was a bit more kindness in her eyes when she looked at Lin Yi and the others.

Especially the look he gave Lin Yi and Lin Qingxuan, which was vaguely intimacy.

"Little guy, you also have the life attribute?"

Being watched by Biji, the fourth of the ferocious beasts, it would be a lie to say that there was no pressure. However, at this moment, Biji not only did not release her coercive power, but also showed kindness in her eyes. Especially with Moon guarding him, the bold side of Lin Yi's character gradually emerged.

"That's right, sister, I also have the attribute of life."

"Sister?" Hearing Lin Yi's name, Brigitte was slightly startled, but looking at Lin Yi's clear eyes and handsome yet tender face, the sense of closeness in her eyes became stronger, and she couldn't help but smile. When such a smile appeared on that beautiful face, even Ouyang Xi couldn't help but hold her breath.

"Little guy, your life attribute should be called the ultimate attribute in the human world, right? The purity is even half a point lower than mine."

Lin Yi nodded, looking non-guarded. His well-behaved appearance and the instinctive closeness from their nature made Brigitte very happy.

After thinking for a while, Brigitte took out something and threw it to Moon.

Moon reached out to take it, and when he looked down, he saw that it was a green crystal.

"This is the essence of life. It requires my clan to concentrate on condensing vitality for at least a thousand years to form. It is quite rare. Although it is not as good as that treasure, our clan's life essence is also a top-level treasure with life attributes. I have seen it today and it is a fate. I will give it to this little fellow. There is not a single soul beast remnant on him. I wonder how this little fellow achieved it..."

Brigitte looked at Lin Yi with a strange glint in her eyes, and when she said the last sentence, she was almost mumbling to herself.

But the Extreme Douluo has very good hearing. Although Brigitte was talking to herself, she did not hide her words. How could she avoid Moon? Naturally, she heard it clearly. Moon was about to thank her, but after hearing the last part, he was a little puzzled.

Brigitte obviously had no intention of answering, and turned around to leave with her people and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Lin Yi quickly said, "Sister, please wait a moment!"
