Chapter 37 Xiaowu's Lie, Tang Hao Attacks_1
```
"Slap!"
Seeing this, Xiaowu hastily turned around, her long scorpion braid whipping Tang San's hand like a long whip.
Smack!
Pain shot through Tang San's hand, and the dagger fell to the ground.
"What are you doing?"
Xiaowu frowned, speaking coldly.
"Er Ming died because of me, and I am willing to pay with my life," Tang San said, his face etched with sorrow.
In fact, he was secretly relieved.
He had gambled correctly.
Xiaowu was just willfully angry with him and had not completely lost her feelings for him.
"But can Er Ming come back if you do this?" Xiaowu asked, her face pinched with concern.
"The dead cannot be resurrected, even Er Ming, as a Soul Beast Overlord, cannot return from death," said Tang San with a wry smile, shaking his head.
Let alone resurrection; he guessed that even Er Ming's ashes were probably scattered by Qin Xiao, right?
"Since your death can't bring back Er Ming's life, you should live well. Only by living can you avenge Er Ming."
Xiaowu's gaze gradually turned icy cold, "Only by killing Qin Xiao can Er Ming's spirit rest in peace."
Seeing this, Tang San was slightly startled; the harmless Xiaowu he knew seemed somewhat fierce now?
However, it was then that Xiaowu spoke again, "Let's go. I'll take you to Da Ming. Let's head to the true heart of the Star Dou Great Forest. It's even more suitable for cultivation there."
"Okay." Tang San nodded and followed Xiaowu's pace.
After a while.
Tang San suddenly found the scene in front of him opening up.
In front of him was a lake.
The placid water looked like a magnificent sapphire!
He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Who would have thought that the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest would not be a tiger's den, but so tranquil and peaceful?"
"If humans did not encroach and hunt soul beasts, the entire Star Dou Great Forest would be like this," Xiaowu's voice sounded in Tang San's ears.
For a moment, Tang San didn't know what to say.
"Da Ming!"
Xiaowu approached the lake, calling out to the water surface.
"Could it be that the Azure Oxpython is hidden in the water?" Tang San thought with a start.
As for such a Soul Beast Overlord, he knew nothing beyond its name.
"Boom!"
As Xiaowu's voice fell, the surface of the lake began to ripple and then a huge water column soared into the sky.
As the water column dispersed, a massive figure appeared in Tang San and Xiaowu's field of vision.
It was a strong soul beast with the head of a bull and the body of a python, measuring dozens of meters in length.
The immense pressure emanating from it made Tang San feel an urge to kneel and prostrate himself.
The pressure was too great!
Clenching his teeth, Tang San held firm.
"Da Ming, he's my friend, you can't be so rude," chastised Xiaowu, her brow furrowed in displeasure.
"Very well," the Azure Oxpython actually spoke human language, though Tang San could distinctly feel the pressure on him lessen.
Huff...
Inhale...
Tang San breathed heavily, his heart filled with awe.
Is this the Azure Oxpython?
Much stronger than the Titan Ape!
"Why would you make friends with such a weak human?" the Azure Oxpython asked Xiaowu at that moment.
"If I don't befriend the weak, should I become a soul ring for the strong?" Xiaowu retorted sharply.
"This..."
The Azure Oxpython was taken aback; what Xiaowu said seemed to make a lot of sense.
"What about Er Ming?"
"Didn't he go to meet you? Or has he gone wild somewhere again?" it changed the subject, not wanting to embarrass itself further.
"Er Ming, he..."
At these words, Xiaowu started to stammer.
```
Tang San heard the words of the Azure Oxpython, and his heart immediately became uneasy.
"If the Azure Oxpython knows that I had Er Ming go after Qin Xiao, and Er Ming ended up being killed by him, would the Azure Oxpython whip me to death with its tail?"
Subconsciously, he glanced at Xiaowu, silently praying that she wouldn't rat him out.
"Da Ming, Er Ming... it..."
"What happened to it? Xiaowu, can you stop beating around the bush?"
"Er Ming can't come back, it died at the hands of a powerful human..."
Xiaowu finally mustered the courage to tell Da Ming the truth.
"What!"
"Er Ming is dead!"
The Azure Oxpython was incredibly shocked.
Even due to its intense emotional fluctuations, a large number of dark clouds suddenly appeared over the Aquipeia Forest.
The water in the lake beneath it boiled as if it were on a stove.
"What in the world happened?"
It asked Xiaowu coldly.
Xiaowu looked at Tang San, noticing the pleading look in his eyes.
She immediately understood the deep meaning in Tang San's gaze.
Help me!
If you don't help me, I'm finished!
Sigh...
Xiaowu took a deep breath, "A human Titled Douluo discovered my identity and pursued me into the Aquipeia Forest. Er Ming fought against that human Titled Douluo to help me and, ultimately... to cover my retreat, it paid with its life..."
As Xiaowu spoke, tears relentlessly streamed down from her eyes.
She felt guilty toward Er Ming and toward Da Ming.
But for Tang San's sake, she had no choice but to lie...
Thank goodness Xiaowu is on my side... Tang San heaved a sigh of relief after listening to Xiaowu's words.
In the end, Xiaowu took all the blame upon herself.
"Humans!"
"Always humans!"
Da Ming roared as it rolled over the surface of the lake.
The lake was no longer calm, and waves as high as ten meters were whipped up!
Boom!
Thunder echoed across the sky above Aquipeia Forest.
Crack!
The pale lightning made Da Ming appear even more terrifying!
"Xiaowu, tell me who it is, I'm going to kill him!"
Da Ming's voice was incredibly cold.
It made Tang San shiver involuntarily when he heard it.
"That person is Qin Xiao, titled the Thunder Emperor... but, I don't suggest you go seeking revenge just yet!"
"Why?"
"I suspect that he… could very possibly be immune to lightning attributes."
"Lightning immunity?!"
Da Ming was shocked.
It possessed the elements of both water and lightning.
An immunity to lightning on Qin Xiao's part would cut its strength by half...
After the shock, it calmed down, "We should indeed consider this matter more carefully."
"Xiaowu, you first tell me in detail, what's the deal with Qin Xiao, what are his capabilities?"
Xiaowu nodded.
She started recounting from the moment she encountered Qin Xiao.
Time passed.
Three days flew by in the blink of an eye.
On this morning, as the dawn broke, two uninvited guests arrived above Shrek Academy.
One was cloaked in a black robe.
The other wore a grandiose and majestic black uniform, exuding the aura of someone superior.
Without a doubt, these two were the brothers Tang Hao and Tang Xiao.
Among them, Tang Hao spoke coldly, "Qin Xiao, come out and meet your death!"
