Douluo Dalu - First Slash

In the core region of the Great Star Dou Forest, there was an ancient tree that was over 20 meters tall, and its leaves were lush and full of life. Everyone sat under the tree, and a large bonfire was burning in front of them. The flames were three feet tall, and they released scorching heat waves.

The Titan Great Ape was holding a massive spirit beast on a thick branch, and it was roasting it over the bonfire.

This was a Dragonhorn Elephant with 10,000 years of cultivation, and it was extremely powerful, but it was now reduced to a meal for everyone.

Under the scorching heat of the flames, the Dragonhorn Elephant gradually turned golden, and droplets of translucent grease seeped out from its surface. A rich and fragrant meaty aroma wafted through the air.

"The meat is ready, we can start eating!"

Titan Great Ape wasn't as hypocritical or courteous as humans. It stuffed the meat into its mouth, and with a crunch, it devoured more than half of the Dragonhorn Elephant.

It chomped down on the Dragonhorn Elephant meat with a silly grin, and it was completely devoid of the terrifying aura it had displayed during the day.

"You have no manners!"

Xiao Wu was so angry that she was amused. She patted the Titan Great Ape on the back, then put her hands on her hips and glared at it like a big sister.

"Er Ming, we have guests here today, so why are you only eating? You have no manners at all!"

"You've changed, Big Sister Xiao Wu. You're becoming more and more like a human. We're spirit beasts, so why must we learn such hypocritical manners from humans?" the Titan Great Ape grumbled.

"How dare you talk back, Er Ming?" The Sky Azure Bull Python glared at the Ape, and the latter immediately shrank back, not daring to say another word.

Xiao Wu pulled out a few silver plates from her spirit tool and used a knife to cut up the roast meat. First, she distributed it to Fang Xuan and Shui Bing'er, kept a small piece for herself, and gave the rest to Da Ming and Er Ming.

These two spirit beasts had huge appetites, and this Dragonhorn Elephant was probably not enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.

Everyone chatted as they ate the meat.

"Fang Xuan, what are you doing here?" Xiao Wu slowly finished her meal and looked at Fang Xuan in confusion.

"It's a long story, so I won't tell you," Fang Xuan said calmly.

???

What kind of brain did this guy have?! Xiao Wu was speechless for a while. She then turned to look at Shui Bing 'er and said in surprise, "I remember you. You're Shui Bing'er from Sky Water Academy. You even fought against our Shrek Academy."

"Yeah, I remember you too. You're Xiao Wu from Shrek Academy!" Shui Bing'er smiled sweetly, showing a friendly expression as she greeted Xiao Wu gently.

Xiao Wu had been spending much time with Da Ming and Er Ming. Although she had a good relationship with the two spirit beasts, there were many things that she couldn't tell them about.

Therefore, she felt very close to her when she saw her. The two of them got along very well, and it didn't take long for them to start chatting enthusiastically.

"What?! You and Fang Xuan … have a child?!! "

When she heard Shui Bing'er talk about her wedding, Xiao Wu couldn't help but be shocked. She looked at Fang Xuan with disdain and scolded indignantly,

"Bastard Fang Xuan, so irresponsible! He didn't even care about his wife and child, and planned to run away by himself. Ptui, scum! "

"Pfft … cough cough!" F

ang Xuan, who was drinking water, suddenly choked and coughed violently. He widened his eyes and looked at the two girls innocently.

He said angrily, "Trap! How did you get the child out?!"

Shui Bing'er's face was red as she hurriedly explained the truth.

After learning the truth, Xiao Wu's face was full of joy. She held her stomach and laughed, "Hahahaha, serves him right. Who told this guy to trick and harm people? This time he finally fell into someone else's hands. Bing'er, you did a great job!"

What the f * ck?

The corner of Fang Xuan's mouth twitched slightly. He rolled his eyes and ignored the two girls. Instead, he went to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. He snatched a big mouthful of golden and crispy Dragon-Horned Elephant meat from the Titan Great Ape's hand and ate it in big bites.

Due to Fang Xuan's abuse of power, the Er Ming didn't say anything. It just gnawed on the bone gloomily. It wasn't until the wee hours of the morning that everyone was finally full and ready to rest.

At this time, Xiao Wu suddenly thought of something important. She anxiously asked Fang Xuan, "By the way, Fang Xuan, have you seen my third brother? How is he? Is he okay?!"

"Your third brother is dead. Even his bones have turned to ashes!" Fang Xuan's expression was unusually serious, as he said it firmly.

"What! My third brother is dead?!" Hearing this, Xiao Wu's pretty face turned pale. It was as if a bolt from the blue had struck her. Her eyes turned red all of a sudden. She looked like a red-eyed rabbit.

"That's right. He's dead. He's dead. Not even his ashes are left." Fang Xuan sighed and shook his head. He looked sad as if the one who died was a close friend of his. He hurriedly comforted Xiao Wu. "Xiao Wu, your third brother, is dead. Don't you think it's a little unreasonable if you don't commit suicide? Don't worry and die. Reunite with your beloved third brother in the afterlife. Leave your funeral to me!"

Xiao Wu: "???"

'You're asking the wrong person if you're asking me about Tang San's situation. I was enjoying the massage in the Martial Spirit Hall's prison. Although the tools used for the massage were blades, soldering irons, and sticks …'

Fang Xuan was scheming in his heart, and he was prepared to kill Xiao Wu. After that, her spirit ring and spirit bone would all belong to him.( T/N - For what)

The Sky Azure Bull Python turned to Fang Xuan with hostility in its eyes as it roared, "Don't believe this guy, Xiao Wu! There's no good human in this world!"

"That's right, that's right. Humans have killed countless of our companions. Countless spirit beasts in the Great Star Dou Forest have died at their hands. Humans are all evil!" Er Ming said angrily.

"Humans are indeed evil, but you Spirit beasts aren't good either. At most, we're all jackals of the same tribe…"

Fang Xuan spread his hands calmly. He looked at the Titan Great Ape, who was eating the Dragonhorn Elephant's meat.

"You keep saying that humans are evil, but aren't you eating the meat of your own kind? And you're enjoying it so much! Humans are evil when they hunt spirit beasts, but you're not evil when you eat spirit beasts? You've cultivated for 100,000 years, and during that time, you must've eaten an extremely terrifying number of spirit beasts. Don't tell me you're not eating! Therefore, don't always stand on the moral high ground and criticize others for being evil."

"The truth is, we're all bastards!"

Titan Great Ape: "…"

Sky Azure Bull Python: "…"

Shui Bing'er: "…"

Xiao Wu: "…"

Everyone was completely dumbstruck. They had encountered a weirdo with all kinds of crooked theories. Regardless of whether they were spirit beasts or humans, he was cursing all of them.

"Actually, not all humans are bad, but I can tell you clearly that the man standing in front of you is a real baddie!" Shui Bing 'er cast a glance at Fang Xuan beside her and said solemnly.

"I can see that." The Sky Azure Bull Python nodded in agreement.

"This guy looks even more vicious than me. He's definitely a bad guy," the Titan Great Ape chimed in.

"I knew that …" Xiao Wu grumbled internally.

"What did you say, little traitor? Have you forgotten how I saved your life?"

Fang Xuan was furious. He raised his hand and viciously smacked the back of Bing'er's head. The girl's eyes brimmed with tears from the pain, and she looked very pitiful. "You're bullying me again …"

In the end, through Shui Bing'er's explanation, Xiao Wu learned that Fang Xuan had lied to her about Tang San's death in order to obtain her 100,000-year spirit bone. She heaved a sigh of relief before glaring angrily at Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan and Shui Bing'er had fled from the Anarchic Lands to the Great Star Dou Forest. They had never seen Tang San, so how could they know if Tang San was dead or alive? However, according to the plot, Tang San was most likely swinging a hammer under a waterfall right now.

Fang Xuan revealed some of the plot to Xiao Wu, and she felt a lot more at ease. This was a small reward for Xiao Wu for helping them stop the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Great Ape.

Night slowly passed as everyone quarreled…
