Under Tang San's pleading gaze, Lin Mo slowly shook his head.
He looked calmly at Tang San, " Tang San, I don't mind helping you within my capabilities."
At this point, Lin Mo paused, his tone becoming even more serious, "But you should be clear, it's highly likely to be a Titan Giant Ape that's 100,000 years old."
Its power is beyond our imagination. Asking me to rescue someone from it is no different from sending me to my death.
Lin Mo knew Xiao Wu's true situation better than anyone else.
For others, the Star Dou Great Forest is fraught with danger, and even Titled Douluo dare not let their guard down.
But for Xiao Wu, returning here is like returning home.
With the protection of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, two kings of the forest, there are very few things in this world that can threaten her, unless she insists on venturing into the human world.
Upon hearing this, Tang San Bite his lip tightly, his body trembling slightly, but he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.
What Lin Mo said were all irrefutable facts.
Compared to the Titan Giant Ape, their strength was as insignificant as dust.
However, people in despair will always grasp at any glimmer of hope.
Tang San suddenly raised his head, a near-obsessive hope rekindling in his eyes. He spoke urgently, " Lin Mo! Aren't you on good terms with Poison Douluo's granddaughter? Could you—could you ask Poison Douluo for help?"
He pleaded, like a drowning man grasping at a last straw, "If Your Majesty the Poison Douluo is willing to intervene, there's definitely a chance to save Xiao Wu! Please, Lin Mo!"
At this moment, Tang San had long since put aside his previous fear of Dugu Bo, and his mind was filled with only one thought: to save Xiao Wu.
Before Lin Mo could respond, Zhao Wuji's expression had already changed.
He stepped forward abruptly and shouted in a deep voice, " Tang San! Shut up! Do you know what you're saying?"
Zhao Wuji was inwardly groaning, feeling utterly overwhelmed.
This trip to the Star Dou Great Forest has been fraught with troubles, one after another.
Before entering the forest, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had already offended Lin Mo and the two girls with intimidating backgrounds beside him.
Now, Tang San is having this ridiculous idea that he should have Lin Mo beg Poison Douluo for help?
If Poison Douluo really comes, given his notoriously protective nature, the first thing he'll do is deal with those who just offended his granddaughter!
Zhao Wuji felt a chill run down his spine.
Besides, instead of wasting time thinking nonsense, Tang San should go back and beg his elusive father, the Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao!
If that person were willing to step forward, the chances would be much greater than if they could get Poison Douluo involved!
After scolding Tang San, Zhao Wuji quickly turned to Lin Mo, "Brother Lin Mo, don't mind him."
Tang San was frantic; Xiao Wu was missing, and that's why he lost his composure and started talking nonsense. Please don't take it to heart.
Upon hearing Tang San's words, Lin Mo almost burst out laughing on the spot, feeling utterly bewildered.
Ask him to beg Dugu Bo to save Xiao Wu? Tang San really dares to think that way.
Lin Mo shook his head inwardly.
Putting aside the fact that Dugu Bo has arrived, given his temperament, shouldn't he first stand up for Dugu Yan and the others?
If Xiao Wu knew that Tang San had invited a Titled Douluo to visit her, she would probably start to doubt Tang San's intentions.
This can't be considered grasping at straws in desperation!
Lin Mo shook his head immediately, "Impossible, I won't ask for that, and Senior Dugu won't get involved in something like this."
He looked at Tang San, and out of a final bit of camaraderie, said a few more words, " Tang San, now that you have both obtained your Third Soul Ring and broken through your bottlenecks, leave the Star Dou Great Forest immediately and return to the academy."
"If you insist on staying here, you are not only playing with your own life, but also being irresponsible to your companions."
In your current state, you are betraying the trust they placed in you to take this risk!
"Shut up!"
Lin Mo's words were like a sharp thorn, piercing Tang San's fragile and sensitive nerves at that moment.
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Lin Mo, his gaze filled with incomprehension, Rage, and a sense of despair at being betrayed.
"You have the ability! You have such a powerful Martial Soul! You clearly know Titled Douluo! Why won't you help me? Why!"
Tang San's voice was hoarse, " Xiao Wu is also your classmate! How can you be so cold-blooded?!"
Extreme Rage and despair over the loss of Xiao Wu had completely overwhelmed Tang San's reason.
He couldn't understand, nor could he accept, Lin Mo's rejection.
In his simplistic and biased logic at this moment, having the ability but not helping is considered cold-blooded and a failure to save someone in distress.
Lin Mo looked at Tang San, who had lost the ability to think, and said nothing more. Then, he moved slightly and leaped onto the back of the Charizard.
"Let's go."
The Charizard let out a low roar, spread its Dual Wingbeat, and the powerful airflow stirred up fallen leaves and dust on the ground, causing the Shrek members to instinctively squint or raise their hands to shield their eyes.
The Red figure soared into the sky, quickly turning into a black dot and disappearing into the high heavens.
Lin Mo rode the Charizard, speeding towards the direction he had agreed upon with Dugu Yan and the others.
The core area of Star Dou Great Forest, the Lake of Life.
The crystal-clear lake reflects the shadows of towering ancient trees, and a rich sense of Life permeates the air.
The mountain-like Titan Giant Ape Er Ming was sitting carefully by the lake, with a petite pink figure perched on its broad shoulders.
Xiao Wu hugged her knees with both hands, resting her chin on them. Her usually bright and lively eyes were now staring blankly at the shimmering lake.
Erming seemed to sense Xiaowu's low spirits. It raised its huge hand and awkwardly scratched its head.
After a long while, it finally spoke in a low, humming voice, " Sister Xiao Wu, you... aren't you planning to go back to find that human?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's slender body trembled almost imperceptibly.
She remained silent for a long time, so long that Er Ming thought she wouldn't answer, before finally letting out a soft sigh and shaking his head.
"I'm not going back."
Xiao Wu didn't explain further. She hugged her arms tightly, but her experience on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest not long ago involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
She still held onto a sliver of hope.
He thought the human world was vast, and that Titled Douluo Titled Douluo few and far between, so he wouldn't be so unlucky as to encounter one of such a rare number.
But this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest was like a bucket of cold water, completely waking her up. If it weren't for good luck that Poison Douluo didn't come with Dugu Yan and the others.
Then she would probably have to face a Titled Douluo directly, and the consequences would be...
She didn't even dare to think about it further. Once her identity as Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form was exposed, her fate would almost certainly be sealed.
Just then, ripples silently spread across the calm surface of the Lake of Life, and a huge blue bull's head emerged from the water.
The deep, resonant voice of the Sky Azure Bull Python Da Ming, Daming, echoed directly within the Lake of Life, "It's too dangerous outside. It's better for Sister Xiao Wu to stay here. With me and Er Ming here, we will never let anyone harm you."
Er Ming immediately nodded heavily, letting out a low growl of agreement.
Feeling the heartfelt sentiments of her two companions, Xiao Wu felt a warm current flow through her heart. She raised her head and looked up at the sky above the forest.
Finally, he nodded slightly.
"Um."
