Seeing that they were getting further and further away from the spot where Tang San was buried, Xiao Wu stopped the Titan Giant Ape from running any further.

She knew that Er Ming wanted to take her back to the Lake of Life, but even for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, it would take quite some time to travel from the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Forest to the central region.

The scene of Tang San being buried alive was still fresh in her mind, and she needed to go back as soon as possible to check on his condition.

"Sister Xiao Wu, did those humans bully you?"

Er Ming held Xiao Wu in the palm of his hand, looking at the dried tear stains on her face with an expression full of heartache.

"If you aren't doing well in the human world, just come back to the Lake of Life."

"Big Brother and I will protect you!"

Hearing these words, Xiao Wu was moved, and she recalled the days the three of them had spent living together at the Lake of Life in their early years.

The anger she felt toward Tang San and Meng Yiran just moments ago faded slightly.

As expected, only those who had grown up together knew how to comfort her.

The first thing Er Ming asked when he saw her was whether she had been bullied...

"Thank you, Er Ming."

"Is Da Ming doing well?"

"Big Brother is doing very well, and he often mentions you..."

Xiao Wu's face lit up with a smile once again, and she returned to the "big sister" persona she had always maintained!

"I'm doing quite well in the human world, and I've even met someone interesting."

"If I have that person's help, my plan for revenge will be realized very soon."

As she spoke, a look of determination appeared on her delicate little face.

She met the gaze of the Titan Giant Ape.

"You and Da Ming should focus on your cultivation at the Lake of Life, and wait for my return!"

"Alright, I have to go."

"I've been away for too long, and my friends must be worried about me."

Under Er Ming's worried gaze, Xiao Wu returned the way she came.

On her way to find the spot where Tang San was buried, she took the opportunity to condense her third soul ring.

The purple thousand-year soul ring pulsed rhythmically, and Xiao Wu's entire body matured slightly.

A charm unique to a young woman quietly blossomed.

Although she didn't have a figure as hot as Zhu Zhuqing's, her long, slender legs and pair of rabbit ears made her look even more lively and moving.

Unlike that kind of voluptuous beauty, Xiao Wu gave off a feeling of slenderness and suppleness.

(Attached is a beautiful photo of Xiao Wu that the author secretly took when he traveled to Douluo in his early years!)

After searching for a long while, Xiao Wu finally arrived at the patch of woods where she had buried Tang San.

She spent a great deal of effort dragging him out, only to find that Tang San was now completely unconscious.

It was to be expected; for a second-ring Soul Grand Master to be sent flying by a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, it was a miracle he had survived at all.

"Brother! Brother! Wake up!"

Xiao Wu crouched down and began to pat Tang San's cheeks repeatedly.

It wasn't until his face was almost swollen from the slapping that the person on the ground regained some consciousness.

In his daze, Tang San heard Xiao Wu's voice and tried to wake up, but found that he couldn't open his eyelids no matter how hard he tried.

In the end, images of his past life jumping off the cliff to prove his resolve even began to surface in his mind.

Fortunately, at the final moment, for some unknown reason, a cool energy radiated from the center of his brow into his mind, helping him pull through.

"Xiao Wu..."

A hazy pink figure gradually became clear, and lying on the ground, he happened to see those long, slender legs from an upward angle.

Before he could even feel happy, a sharp, piercing pain suddenly erupted from his lower body!

"Ah! It hurts!"

The weak and shrill cry gave Xiao Wu a fright. She cleared the branches off Tang San's body, only to discover that Tang San's lower half was already soaked in blood seeping through his clothes.

"Xiao Wu... what happened to me?"

Tang San's entire body felt as if his bones had been dismantled, and he couldn't muster an ounce of strength, so he had to ask Xiao Wu for the answer.

However, as the young girl looked down between Tang San's legs, her expression gradually turned to horror. She widened her eyes, let out a scream, and without caring about the person lying on the ground, she ran off into the jungle...

Chapter 33: Young People's Business!

Back on Xia Ran's side, Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai were on the verge of a confrontation. Everyone's eyes were shining as they watched the center of the arena intently.

Just as the atmosphere grew tense, the sound of rustling leaves suddenly came from the jungle.

Looking closely, it was none other than Xiao Wu, who had just "fled" back.

"Xiao Wu? Weren't you taken away by the Titan Giant Ape?"

Ning Rongrong widened her beautiful eyes, never expecting to see her again.

Zhao Wuji stepped forward, supporting the figure who was nearly exhausted.

"Where is Tang San? Isn't he with you?"

Seeing everyone, Xiao Wu's eyes brightened instantly, as if she had grabbed onto a lifeline.

But the intense running left her unable to speak for a moment; she could only lean on Zhao Wuji, gasping for air.

Seeing this, Oscar hurriedly handed over a sausage, and Ning Rongrong also cast two support effects on her.

After another two or three minutes, she finally caught her breath.

"Third Brother! Go save him, quickly!"

"He's covered in so much blood, and..."

Halfway through her sentence, she seemed to recall some unspeakable image, and the second half of her words stuck in her throat for a long time, unable to be uttered.

Seeing this, everyone looked anxious, and Zhao Wuji asked with a furrowed brow.

"And what?"

"I don't know, just go quickly."

Xiao Wu's pink eyes were filled with tears, and she bit her lower lip tightly. Whether from fear or something else, her expression was currently one of extreme terror and helplessness.

Immediately, she grabbed Zhao Wuji's sleeve, large teardrops falling.

"Teacher Zhao, please go save Third Brother, I feel like he's seriously injured."

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji did not delay any further and instructed the person to the side.

"Xia Ran, you stay here and keep an eye on them."

"Xiao Ao, give me a few Big Recovery Sausages and a Small Detox Sausage, quickly!"

"Oh, right!"

Oscar hurriedly activated his spirit skill, but unfortunately, he had used his spirit skills far too many times today.

Having provided for Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Xiao Wu, he had drained all his spirit power, managing to produce only two Big Recovery Sausages and one Small Detox Sausage.

"Teacher Zhao! I really have no spirit power left!"

Zhao Wuji rolled his eyes at him and turned to look at Xiao Wu.

"Lead the way."

Originally, Zhao Wuji had thought that since they encountered the Titan Giant Ape during this trip, Xiao Wu being taken meant there was basically no hope of survival, Tang San had chased after her and vanished without a trace, and that good-for-nothing Dai Mubai had chosen this moment to act up and provoke Xia Ran.

With so many frustrating things happening, he was truly fed up; he had already decided that once he brought this group of dead weight back, he would leave the academy.

He hadn't expected things to take a turn for the better.

Xiao Wu wasn't dead, and even if Tang San was severely injured, he wasn't dead either.

With this interruption, Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai shouldn't be fighting at such an inappropriate time anymore.

As long as he found Tang San and returned directly to the academy, dumping this mess, he could continue to slack off at Shrek for a few more years.

It was just as he thought; seeing Zhao Wuji leave the group, Xia Ran immediately stopped the confrontation between Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai.

After the commotion caused by the Titan Giant Ape, many powerful spirit beasts in the surrounding area had been startled.

If a fight were to break out now, attracting nearby spirit beasts, he really wasn't confident he could protect such a large group of people.

By the time Zhao Wuji arrived at that part of the forest, Tang San had been staring blankly at the sky for a long time.

He could barely even turn his head now; there wasn't a single part of his body that could move, especially the blood below, which had already soaked through his entire pair of pants in this short time.

"Tang San? How are you..."

"Hiss~"

Zhao Wuji had seen Tang San lying there from a distance, but as he walked up to ask something, he was shocked by the sight before him.

It made even his own legs feel a bit chilly.

"Teacher Zhao... I..."

Tang San seemed to want to say something, but whether it was due to excessive blood loss or simply having no strength left, he couldn't tell.

In any case, his weak, thread-like state made Zhao Wuji feel like giving up on the spot.

It was Xiao Wu at his side who reminded him that he still had Oscar's sausages in his hand.

"Ah, right! Eat the Big Recovery Sausage quickly..."

Fortunately, Oscar's sausages didn't need to be chewed; they turned into energy the moment they were placed in the mouth and were absorbed by the body, otherwise, Tang San would have struggled even to eat in his current state.

With two Big Recovery Sausages and one Small Detox Sausage in his stomach, Tang San's condition eased slightly.

His complexion was not as pale as before, and his speech became clear enough for them to understand.
