Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon, I am the Lord of Soul Beasts

Chapter 86 Extra Chapter ! The Past
Xingdou Great Forest, this vast primeval forest, is located in the central area of ​​Douluo Continent and is known as the paradise of soul beasts. The scenery here is magnificent and mysterious, and every inch of land exudes an ancient atmosphere, full of unknown power and strange life.

Entering the Xingdou Great Forest, the first thing that caught my eye was the towering ancient trees. These trees were extremely sturdy, and their trunks were covered with thick mosses and vines, as if telling of the long years they had experienced. The sun shone through the dense canopy, casting a ray of golden light, and the mottled light and shadows intertwined wonderful patterns on the ground.

The path in the forest is winding and covered with thick fallen leaves and moss. Walking on it is light and silent. The surroundings are filled with the calls of birds and animals, some are crisp and pleasant, and some are deep and rich, as if they are playing a natural symphony together. Occasionally, you can see some small soul beasts shuttling through the forest. They are full of vigilance against the outside world, but still smart.

As we went deeper, the air gradually became filled with a faint dampness, mixed with the fragrance of soil and plants. There were many kinds of plants here, with different shapes, some with leaves as sharp as blades, and some with flowers blooming with strange brilliance. Among these plants, there were some that were highly poisonous or had special abilities, so we had to be extra careful.

After passing through a dense bush, the view suddenly opened up and a clear lake appeared in sight. The lake water was as green as jade, shimmering and reflecting the blue sky, white clouds and surrounding trees. The lakeside was full of lush aquatic plants, and several beautiful water lilies were quietly blooming, exuding a light fragrance. Occasionally, a few smart little fish jumped out of the water on the lake, stirring up ripples.

Going deeper, the light gradually became dim, and the air became colder. This area is the core of the Star Forest, where powerful soul beasts and unknown dangers are said to be hidden. The ancient trees are even taller, and the treetops almost cover the sky, with only sporadic light shining through the gaps. The ground is covered with thick dead branches and leaves, and crisp cracking sounds can be heard with every step.

"Shh, can you please keep your voice down?" A girl's voice sounded in the bushes.

"Can you blame me? I'm so big and I'm right here!" The man's voice sounded a little dissatisfied.

Looking closely, the figures of a dragon and a beast were hiding in a very strange posture. The three-eyed golden lion was lying on Ying Qian's head, picking at the dragon scales on his head out of boredom. Ying Qian was staring at a dark cave in front of him.

"Hey, stinky dragon, how long are we going to stay here?" The three-eyed golden lion asked again, unable to bear it any longer. This was the tenth time she had asked this question today.

"Be patient. If you want to eat bear paws, you need patience." Ying Qian said without turning his head.

Ying Qian and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion quietly hid in the bushes, and the air was filled with tension. Ying Qian stared at the cave in front of him, where he could vaguely hear low breathing sounds, as if some huge creature was sleeping soundly in it.

"Are the bear paws you mentioned really that delicious?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion muttered softly. Although she was not very interested in food, she was a little bored after waiting for such a long time.

"Bear paws are very nutritious. They are helpful to our cultivation." Ying Qian explained patiently. Although he was a little impatient, he knew that the prey this time was no trivial matter and he had to be careful.

"But I've never eaten bear paws!" The three-eyed golden lion widened his eyes, "Are you kidding me? You can't cook, and you can't eat it even if you catch it."

"I didn't say I wanted to eat bear paws raw." Ying Qian chuckled, "What we are waiting for is the Dark Demon Bear, which is a thousand-year-old soul beast. Capturing it will not only help me improve my strength, but also provide you with more soul nourishment."

The three-eyed golden lion curled his lips and said, "Humph, if I catch you, I'll give you a bear paw."

"Okay, okay, half is yours." Ying Qian nodded helplessly. Although the three-eyed golden lion was greedy, her request was not excessive. After all, she had to pay a price to take risks with him. Originally, Ying Qian planned to take the three-eyed golden lion to catch the dark gold terror claw bear, but the number of dark gold terror claw bears was too small. And that guy was fierce and ruthless. Ying Qian would not take such a big risk for a meal. So he chose the cave of the guy in front of him as a second choice.

At this moment, a low roar suddenly came from the black hole in front, and Ying Qian immediately became nervous, "Here they come, get ready!"

The three-eyed golden lion also stopped playing and looked ahead alertly. A huge dark demon bear slowly walked out of the cave, its red eyes flashing fiercely in the night. A strong sense of oppression emanated from the dark demon bear, as if the air around it had become heavy.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the cave, and then a huge figure slowly emerged from the darkness. It was a huge soul beast, as big as a mountain, covered with thick hair, and its eyes flashed fiercely like flames. It was the famous dark demon bear in the Star Dou Great Forest. Although it was not as good as the dark gold terror claw bear, it also had powerful strength and terrifying defense.

The three-eyed golden lion also stopped playing and looked ahead alertly. A huge dark demon bear slowly walked out of the cave, its red eyes flashing fiercely in the night. A strong sense of oppression emanated from the dark demon bear, as if the air around it had become heavy.

"We only have one chance, and we must win with one strike." Ying Qian whispered, his eyes fixed on the Dark Demon Bear's every move.

"I understand." The three-eyed golden lion nodded, and a hint of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.

As the Dark Demon Bear got closer, the tension of Ying Qian and Three-Eyed Golden Lion grew. Just as the Dark Demon Bear was about to step into their ambush, Ying Qian suddenly roared like a dragon and rushed towards the Dark Demon Bear like lightning.

"Now!" Ying Qian shouted in a low voice, and then he quickly jumped out of the bushes, the dragon scales on his body flashing coldly in the moonlight. His dragon claws suddenly grabbed the neck of the shadow giant bear, and at the same time released a powerful soul power, trying to defeat the enemy with one blow.

The three-eyed golden lion quickly jumped down from Ying Qian's head. Her body drew a graceful arc in the air, and then released golden light, forming a huge golden claw mark, and slapped the shadow giant bear hard.

The Dark Demon Bear was startled by the sudden attack, and by the time it reacted it was too late. Ying Qian's dragon claws fiercely grabbed the Dark Demon Bear's chest, with a sharp sound of wind.

The Dark Demon Bear roared and struggled hard, but the light of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had penetrated deeply into its eyes, blurring its vision. Ying Qian's attack was successful, and he used all his strength to push the Dark Demon Bear to the ground, holding its body tightly with his dragon claws.

"Hurry, now!" Ying Qian shouted.

The three-eyed golden lion rushed forward quickly, and the third eye on her forehead emitted a golden light, which directly hit the dark demon bear's head. The dark demon bear let out a shrill roar, and its body twitched violently, and finally fell to the ground powerlessly.

Ying Qian breathed a sigh of relief, slowly stood up, took a deep breath and said, "Finally it's done."

The three-eyed golden lion also relaxed his tense body, with a satisfied smile on his face, "Not bad, stinky dragon, we cooperated well this time."

"Yes, but this is just the beginning. We still have a lot to do." Ying Qian said with a smile. Ying Qian's sharp dragon claws immediately swung, and the huge dark demon bear's body was instantly cut into complete pieces by Ying Qian. The two front claws were carefully handled by Ying Qian.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at Ying Qian curiously as he processed the bear paws. "Are you really going to take these two bear paws back with you?"

"Of course. This is a rare delicacy. I'll prepare it and bring it back for everyone to taste." Ying Qian said with a smile. His movements were extremely skillful and he quickly processed the bear paw cleanly.

The three-eyed golden lion curled his lips and said, "I didn't know you had this skill."

"Of course. As a knowledgeable dragon, I have to have this skill." Ying Qian smiled proudly.

While the two were busy, suddenly, a low roar came from a distance. Ying Qian and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion immediately became alert, quickly put away the bear paws, and prepared to face the new challenge.

"Here they are again? This area is really lively." The three-eyed golden lion frowned.

"It seems that they were attracted here by the roar of the Dark Demon Bear." Ying Qian said in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on the direction where the sound came from, ready to deal with possible danger at any time.

A moment later, a soul beast larger than the Dark Demon Bear appeared in the field of vision. It was a dark giant tiger, emitting a strong pressure all over its body, and it was obviously one of the overlords of this area. The giant tiger's eyes were originally full of hostility, but its eyes were fixed on Ying Qian and the three-eyed golden lion. The giant tiger's eyes were obviously stunned for a moment. He probably would never have thought that there would be auspicious beasts and a giant dragon in the mixed area of ​​the Xingdou Great Forest.

"Stinky dragon, what should we do?" asked the Three-Eyed Golden Lion nervously.

Ying Qian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Since you're here, buy one get one free. I also want to collect a tiger skin coat to wear."

As the dark giant tiger slowly retreated, the air was filled with a tense atmosphere. Ying Qian and the three-eyed golden lion stood together in tacit understanding, ready to face this new battle. The dark giant tiger was extremely fast, and it rushed in front of the two of them in almost an instant, and its sharp claws attacked Ying Qian with a sharp sound of wind. He seemed to know that he couldn't escape, so he planned to fight, and the bicycle turned into a motorcycle. Naturally, he didn't dare to attack the auspicious beast, so he had to set his target on Ying Qian.

Ying Qian suddenly jumped up, avoiding the giant tiger's attack, and at the same time let out a dragon roar, and the powerful dragon's might frightened the giant tiger's movements. The three-eyed golden lion took the opportunity to attack, and her third eye shot out a golden light, hitting the giant tiger's head directly.

The giant tiger was hit by the golden light and roared in pain. Its body swayed slightly, but it did not fall down. Its anger was aroused, and it pounced on Ying Qian even more fiercely, and its huge body brought up a gust of wind. Ying Qian was not willing to be outdone, and he fiercely met it with his dragon claws. The two forces collided in the air, making a deafening sound.

At this time, the three-eyed golden lion flew up and quickly circled behind the giant tiger, and her claws fiercely grabbed the giant tiger's hind legs. The giant tiger roared again in pain and tried to break free, but Ying Qian's dragon claws tightly grasped its forelimbs, preventing it from moving.

The two cooperated tacitly and gradually gained the upper hand. The giant tiger's movements became slower and slower, and it was finally pressed to the ground by Ying Qian and the three-eyed golden lion. Ying Qian's dragon claws pressed the giant tiger's neck fiercely, and the golden light of the three-eyed golden lion pierced its eyes. The giant tiger let out a final whine and finally fell down powerlessly.

"Well done!" Ying Qian released his claws and said while panting.

The three-eyed golden lion also breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face, "Stinky dragon, we are really a match made in heaven."

Ying Qian smiled and nodded, "Yes, our cooperation is getting better and better."

The two men packed up their spoils, took the dark demon bear's paws and some of the giant tiger's spoils, and prepared to leave the area.

As the sun sets, Ying Qian puts the bear paw he has prepared on the fire and starts roasting it. The heat from the flames slowly penetrates into every texture of the bear paw, gradually emitting an alluring aroma. The three-eyed golden lion sits on one side, staring at the bear paw on the fire with all three eyes, drooling unknowingly at the corner of his mouth.

"Bake it quickly, I can't wait!" The three-eyed golden lion couldn't help but urge, her eyes fixed on the bear's paw, afraid to miss any delicious moment.

"Don't be impatient, good things need to be cooked slowly." Ying Qian said with a smile, and he gently turned the bear's paw with his dragon claws to ensure that each side was evenly heated. The light of the flames reflected on his dragon scales, flashing a strange beauty.

"What do you think? Should we take the remaining bear paws back for everyone to taste?" asked the Three-Eyed Golden Lion while swallowing his saliva.

"Forget it!" Ying Qian shook his head, and the image of Aunt Brigitte and others eating bear paws involuntarily rang in his mind. The scene was too beautiful to be watched.

Gradually, the aroma of the bear paw became stronger and stronger, and the flames roasted it to a crispy outside and tender inside, emitting an attractive golden color. Ying Qian gently poked it with his dragon claw and was satisfied to see that the skin of the bear paw was already crispy, while the meat inside was still tender and juicy.

"Okay, it's almost time to eat." Ying Qian said, then used his dragon claws to carefully take the bear paw off the fire and handed it to the impatient Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"Finally, we can eat!" Three-eyed Golden Lion cheered, quickly took the bear paw, and ate it with relish. Her face was filled with a satisfied smile, as if the bear paw was the most delicious food she had ever eaten.

Ying Qian couldn't help but smile at the appearance of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. He also picked up a piece of bear paw and took a bite. Sure enough, the tender meat melted in his mouth, with a hint of roasted aroma, which was endless aftertaste.

"Well, it's delicious." Ying Qian said with satisfaction.

"Yes, this time the harvest is really good." The three-eyed golden lion nodded while eating. Her mouth was full of food, but her eyes were shining with satisfaction.
