Background / History
Xiao Wu enters the Star Dou Great Forest alongside Tang San, the other Shrek Monsters, and Liu Erlong. She claims to be searching for an herb that can cure Flender's condition, but the claim is an excuse: she wants the group’s protection while traveling deeper into the forest. 43
Her actual purpose is to confirm the safety of Da Ming and Er Ming after learning that a large group of Titled Douluo had entered the forest to hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Fearing that humans might target her two brothers for their soul bones after the hunt, she is willing to deceive even Tang San to reach them. 44
Xiao Wu later reunites with Da Ming at the core-area lake. When Ning Yao arrives, she recognizes him as the one responsible for harming Er Ming and openly accuses him. Da Ming immediately seals her mouth with soul power, fearing that she will provoke Ning Yao and endanger herself. 48
She witnesses Er Ming emerge from the lake in a mutated state, covered in leaves and flesh-like growths. Though Er Ming later regains his awareness after Ning Yao intervenes, Xiao Wu remains caught between her concern for her brothers and her inability to influence the confrontation. 49 51
When Tang San's group reaches the lake, Da Ming transfers Xiao Wu into Er Ming's hand while he confronts the humans. Unable to speak or move freely, she struggles to warn Tang San and the others away after realizing that Ning Yao is connected to Zhao Wuji's death and Flender's injuries. 52 53
