Douluo 2: This Dragon God has too much martial virtue

Chapter 630 Hell Joke
This treehouse was carved from a towering ancient tree that had grown for over a thousand years. Its massive canopy stretched out, blocking out the sun, like a huge, dark green cloud floating in the air, stretching as far as the eye could see. Almost every thick branch was home to the fearsome Emerald Demon Birds, which, under the protection of Shepherd Star, once considered this place a safe haven for these ferocious little soul beasts.

At this moment, however, the raging flames were spreading wildly from inside the treehouse outwards, the scorching flames greedily licking the ancient wooden structure, billowing thick smoke, which startled the Emerald Demon Birds, causing them to scatter and flee like a pot exploding, never daring to look back.

Brigitte stood silently in the center of the treehouse, at the heart of the most raging fire. Scorching flames licked at her vibrant green feathers and skirt, producing a soft, sizzling sound. Although this level of fire wasn't fatal given her immense life force honed over hundreds of thousands of years, the relentless heat and choking smoke still caused her extreme discomfort and considerable suffering.

This is the price for angering the Silver Dragon King.

She was ordered not to move an inch until the giant tree was completely burned to ashes.

Otherwise, kill without mercy.

Is this what it means to be in a position of power? Even when they're not in the right, they can easily convict her of a grave offense of disrespect. Yet, instead of killing her outright and giving her a quick death, they impose a pretext of punishment, tormenting her both physically and mentally, and demanding that she kowtow in gratitude for not being killed.

Flames danced in her emerald eyes, whether reflecting the raging fire or the barely suppressed resentment and bitterness within her, it was hard to tell. Compared to this so-called ruler of the soul beasts, the Beast God was truly merciful. When Xiong Jun repeatedly challenged his authority, Di Tian at most used absolute power to suppress and intimidate him, forcing him to submit; he would never have conceived of such a humiliating method towards his subordinate.

Zi Ji is right. No wonder Di Tian ran away with Mu Xing. They had clearly expelled those people from Shrek Academy and even killed that guy who claimed to be the father of the Sea God, but they were unjustifiably blamed for disturbing the Silver Dragon King's slumber.

"Was Di Tian more seriously injured back then?" Bi Ji thought, and felt much better. But then she realized that she looked like a roast goose being smoked by fruitwood...

That smells delicious.

"Why are you doing this? She didn't order you to stay." Brigitte turned her head and looked at Ziji, who also seemed somewhat uncomfortable in the sea of ​​fire, but stubbornly stayed by her side.

Isn't roasting a dragon a bit too extravagant? Especially since it's a purebred one.

Zi Ji had no idea what her dear friend was thinking. She flicked her dragon tail, which was burning hot from the heatwave, and said with an indifferent expression, "I have water attributes, and I'm a dragon, plus my dragon scales are definitely more heat-resistant than your feathers. But you... sister, you smell so good!"

That's so tempting!

The Emerald Swan clan is born with the purest life force of nature. A single Emerald Swan with 100,000 years of cultivation possesses a life energy so pure and abundant that it can rival that of a creature of gold shrunk a thousand times in size. For any soul beast, it is a highly coveted tonic.

Even the bear next door was drooling with envy. At this moment, Brigitte was in the heart of the raging flames. The pure life force emanating from her body seemed to be constantly evaporated and refined under the scorching heat of these eerie flames. A bitter feeling welled up in her heart; she feared that before long, she would truly be roasted into a crispy goose.

It seems that the theft of the Gold of Life has been discovered, because the flames unleashed by the Silver Dragon King in his rage were no ordinary flames. They contained the domineering power of the dragon race's origin, specifically designed to suppress and refine life force.

What saddened her even more was that the towering ancient tree beneath her feet, which served as the structure of the treehouse and was now burning fiercely, was itself extraordinary. It was a plant-type soul beast with nearly ten thousand years of cultivation, created by Mu Xing using special methods.

Pure life force became the fuel for continuous refining, the body of a ten-thousand-year-old plant-type soul beast became the perfect vessel, and the dragon's primordial fire mercilessly licked everything... Wasn't using it to make roast goose too extravagant? Bi Ji felt that if she had to be eaten, stewing might be more suitable. She had already desperately categorized herself as food. If she had known this would happen, she should have run away with Di Tian in the first place. It would have been better to leave Xiong Jun to lord it over in Xingdou than to be roasted like this.

"Get out of here!" Brigitte angrily slapped at the flames on her body, which were already sizzling and dripping with oil. This was a double torment for the emerald swan, who always cherished her wings.

"..." Seeing her disheveled yet resolute appearance, Zi Ji knew that staying any longer would be futile and might only distract Bi Ji. She transformed into a streak of purplish-black light, forcefully breaking through the surrounding flames, and landed pathetically outside the treehouse.

At this moment, the ferocious beasts in the core area of ​​the Star Dou region had already been alerted and gathered nearby. After all, such a fierce fire suddenly breaking out in a place of great danger was definitely not a good omen. If your main base caught fire, would you sit idly by?

The Demon King's face was ashen, his azure eyes appearing even more profound and eerie in the firelight, a stark contrast to the vibrant and beautiful emerald green of the Jade Swan. As the only plant-type being among the ferocious beasts, he could best understand the ancient tree's suffering in the flames. Every cracking sound of wood breaking was a mournful cry in his ears, causing him to involuntarily tense up.

Except for a few special species that are naturally drawn to fire, plants and trees in the world have always been afraid of fire, and he was no exception. Looking at the towering flames and feeling the heat wave in the air, he felt uncomfortable all over, and a sense of disgust and anger arose from his instincts.

The problem is that this is the Shadow Master's territory. For thousands of years, even when she was not around, even Xiong Jun did not dare to act recklessly. He had to carefully avoid the rare and exotic plants when passing through the garden in front of the treehouse, let alone set the tree on fire.

It's likely that the only fire-attribute ferocious beast among them, the Crimson King, wouldn't have the guts.

Several ferocious beasts hovered in mid-air, gazing at the raging treehouse, their expressions varied, but all bore an undisguised solemnity. The fire had started too strangely, so all inquisitive gazes were now focused on Zi Ji, who had just emerged from the inferno.

The Hell Dragon Queen looked quite disheveled. Her originally dark purple scales were blackened by smoke, and the edges were even curled. Sparks still lingered at the tips of her hair. She was breathing heavily, her dragon eyes filled with lingering fear mixed with barely suppressed rage.

"What exactly happened?" The Demon King stared intently at Zi Ji. "Where is Bi Ji?"

Zi Ji opened her mouth as if to speak, but then gritted her teeth as if she was worried about something, and finally squeezed out a sentence through her teeth: "It was that person's order. She ordered that Bi Ji not to leave the tree until it was burned down."
