Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 340: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

On the other side of the forest, Xiao Wu was dashing along the path.

With her body covered in the fresh blood of the Sky Azure Bull Python, Xiao Wu gritted her teeth and leaped forward quickly. Each leap was accompanied by large teardrops streaming down her face. The hatred in her heart, which had gradually dulled over the years of being with Tang San, was once again ignited.

"Crazy woman, Clear Sky Clan, I'll remember you! I'll remember you all!"

Before returning to the campsite, Xiao Wu hesitated briefly. Relying on her experience, she found an abandoned cave, concealed herself using some methods, and began to guide her essence to condense her third soul ring.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Tang San, who had been unconscious, gradually woke up with the assistance of Zhao Wuji and the others' soul power. The moment he regained consciousness, Tang San didn't thank Zhao Wuji and the others. Instead, he immediately leaped out of Zhao Wuji's embrace, stood up, and frantically scanned the campsite.

"Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu?! Xiao Wu!!!"

"Xiao Wu?!"

After looking around a few times and finding no trace of Xiao Wu, Tang San's voice immediately grew louder. He began using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, circling the entire campsite in search of her. However, after searching the entire area, he still couldn't find Xiao Wu.

Seeing Tang San's panicked state, Zhao Wuji, who had been through similar situations, could only sigh helplessly.

"Tang San... Xiao Wu is no longer here."

"What? Xiao Wu is dead? I'll make you all pay with your lives!" Reacting impulsively, Tang San pulled out various hidden weapons from his belt, ready to throw them indiscriminately. But before he could act, a massive gravitational force pressed down on him, restraining his movements and pulling him toward Zhao Wuji.

Watching the frenzied Tang San, Zhao Wuji raised his hand and slapped him across the face. Although he didn't use any soul power and deliberately held back his strength, the slap from his martial soul-possessed hand was still powerful enough to leave Tang San momentarily stunned, his mind blank, as if he were seeing his past life in the Tang Sect.

"Kid, calm down! When I said Xiao Wu is no longer here, I meant she's not in the campsite right now. We don't know where she went. I didn't say she's dead. Can you listen properly, even if you're madly in love with your little girlfriend?!"

Faced with the Shrek Academy students, Zhao Wuji had already restrained his temper as much as possible. If it had been anyone else, daring to show killing intent after being saved, Zhao Wuji would have slapped them straight into oblivion.

Hearing Zhao Wuji's explanation, Tang San finally came to his senses, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

"Xiao Wu... Xiao Wu isn't dead. Teacher Zhao, do you know which direction those two soul beasts went? If we follow them, we might be able to find Xiao Wu."

"Kid..." Zhao Wuji shook his head in exasperation, then pointed Tang San in a direction.

"Those two beasts went that way. Their massive bodies left tracks. But if you're chasing them, it's on you. I, Zhao Wuji, don't have the guts to follow."

Before Zhao Wuji could finish speaking, Tang San didn't wait or thank him. He practically sprang toward Oscar, who was still groggy.

"Sausage!"

Tang San stared at Oscar with an emotionless gaze. Under the oppressive feeling of his murderous glare, Oscar instinctively summoned his sausage without even chanting the incantation. Tang San grabbed it, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it. With the speed and power boost from the sausage, he used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track at his fastest speed ever, chasing after the tracks left by the beasts.

Watching Tang San's disappearing figure, Zhao Wuji shook his head and didn't follow. After some thought, he stopped Li Yusong and Lu Qibin, who were preparing to pack up and leave, and decided to maintain the campsite.

"Let's wait for that kid. Although soul beasts can be chaotic, the ones on the outer perimeter aren't much of a threat to us. Let's give him three days... no, two days. If he doesn't come back by then, we'll consider him dead. If he does return, we'll take him back to the academy."

Not knowing that Tang San's father was the Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, nor having any Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan princesses in the group, Zhao Wuji had already been as lenient toward Tang San as possible.

Although it was hard to say what kind of entity Shrek Academy truly was, one thing was undeniable – Shrek fiercely protected its own. Right or wrong, they always stood by their own, a tradition that remained unchanged even after Shrek Academy was destroyed and rebuilt.

Chen Ming quietly followed Tang San while also keeping an eye on the others. A few minutes after Tang San had left, Xiao Wu emerged from another direction, returning to the campsite and searching for Tang San.

Upon learning that Tang San had left to look for her, Xiao Wu abandoned all rationality. She gave up the opportunity earned by the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape's sacrifice, summoned her soul ring, and recklessly charged in the direction Tang San had gone.

The sight of both of them running off forced Zhao Wuji to sigh deeply. He instructed Li Yusong and Lu Qibin to stay behind and guard the campsite, then summoned his martial soul and chased after the two of them to see if he could bring them back.

Elsewhere, during his search for Xiao Wu, Tang San encountered an enraged Venom Spiked Beast.

The Venom Spiked Beast was a special type of rodent soul beast, said to be a mutated species of the lowly Hardfur Rat, created through some form of contamination. It possessed poison and evil attributes, with sharp spines covering its back like a porcupine.

However, since it originated from the ordinary Hardfur Rat, its foundation was weak. Even as a mutated soul beast, it was only of mid-level quality. It relied on its sharp spines and lack of edible meat to avoid becoming the lowest rung of the food chain.

In terms of quality, this beast was even inferior to a standard mid-tier spirit beast like the Wind Demon Wolf of the same age.

The Venom Spiked Beast before Tang San was about 1,500 years old, appearing to be an ordinary specimen. It had fled its cave due to the aura of the two beast kings and harbored a natural hostility toward human soul masters due to its simple mind.

To be honest, with Tang San's strength and speed, he could have easily bypassed the short-legged Venom Spiked Beast and continued onward. But seeing the beast blocking his path, Tang San directly treated it as if it were the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python that had taken Xiao Wu, his rage boiling over.

"How dare a mere Venom Spiked Beast block my path to find Xiao Wu? You're courting death! Although you're not as good as the Poison Arrow Porcupine or the Man-Faced Demon Spider my teacher recommended, this is an emergency, and I can't be picky. The Venom Spiked Beast's poison may be weaker, but it'll do."

Tang San pulled out his Zhuge Divine Crossbow and aimed it at the Venom Spiked Beast's head.

"Evil soul beast, become my third soul ring and lend me your power to find Xiao Wu!"
