Chapter 71: A Path to Death Already Begun!
Half an hour later.
Tang San led the Shrek Academy members on a hurried journey and finally arrived at Soto City.
Led by Dai Mubai, they arrived at a secluded alley. Immediately, a strong smell of blood filled the air, and everyone's expression changed instantly.
In the middle of the alley, Ma Hongjun lay amidst a pile of rubble, covered in blood, especially his lower abdomen, where a large patch of dark red had soaked through his trousers.
At this moment, his face was deathly pale, his breath was weak, and his eyes were tightly closed.
He looked as if he might die at any moment. What was even more disgusting was that, obviously due to the pain or extreme fright, he had soiled himself and looked utterly wretched.
Seeing this scene before him, Tang San's expression changed slightly, and he was momentarily stunned. He suppressed his discomfort, quickly stepped forward, squatted down, and gently helped Ma Hongjun up.
"Fatty! Are you alright?"
Tang San called out in a low voice, but received no response.
When Xiao Wu saw Ma Hongjun's miserable appearance, she felt nauseous and covered her mouth, turning her head away, unable to bear to look at him.
Ning Rongrong immediately raised her hand to cover her eyes.
Although Zhu Zhuqing did not speak, she subconsciously looked away and turned her body coldly to the side.
"Little Oscar! Quick, restore the big sausage!" After a quick check of Ma Hongjun's body, Tang San's gaze darkened, and he shouted urgently to Oscar behind him.
Upon hearing this, Oscar dared not be negligent. He took a deep breath and shouted in a low voice:
"I have a big sausage!"
Before he finished speaking, his first spirit ring suddenly lit up, and with a flash of yellow light, a plump, fragrant sausage appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, Oscar stepped forward and handed the sausage to Tang San.
After taking the sausage, Tang San did not hesitate at all. He gently pried open Ma Hongjun's tightly clenched teeth and skillfully stuffed the sausage into the other's mouth.
The moment the sausage entered his mouth, golden energy flowed through Ma Hongjun's body like a warm current. The bleeding from his mangled abdomen visibly stopped.
Seeing this, everyone's expressions softened.
Slowly exhaling a breath of stale air, Dai Mubai, his face filled with shame, stepped forward and looked at the unconscious Ma Hongjun, asking in a low voice, "Xiao San, is Fatty... alright?"
Upon hearing this, Tang San remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking:
"I probably won't die. But..."
"But what?" Dai Mubai asked urgently.
Tang San raised his head, glanced at Dai Mubai, and said calmly but with a hint of anger, "However, his reproductive organs have been completely destroyed. He probably won't be able to continue his family line in the future."
"Wh-what?" Xiao Wu's eyes widened suddenly, her face full of disbelief.
"You mean..." Oscar's eyes widened as well, seemingly unable to believe what he was hearing, and he said, "If that's the case, how will Fatty deal with the problem of the evil fire within him in the future?"
"Yes, you heard right. Fatty will probably be unable to carry on the family line in the future." Tang San's tone was decisive and without the slightest hesitation. "The opponent's attacks were extremely ruthless, each move was fatal. One of the moves hit Fatty's lower abdomen, directly shattering the meridians and soft tissue in that area. Even if a Soul Master were to provide subsequent treatment, it would probably be too late to save him."
After those words were spoken, a deathly silence fell over the surroundings.
A moment later, Tang San stood up, took a deep breath, and glanced at the uneasy crowd. His tone was calm yet carried an undeniable air of authority as he said:
"The fat boy's condition is not optimistic. We must send him back to the academy for treatment as soon as possible. Xiao Ao, take Rongrong with you and escort the fat boy back. See if the dean and teachers have any ideas; perhaps there is still a chance to save him."
"Okay, leave it to me!" Oscar nodded without hesitation.
Ning Rongrong nodded in agreement.
Immediately afterward, Tang San turned his gaze to Dai Mubai and asked, "Mubai, you just fought with that blonde woman. Can you describe in detail what the woman who injured the fat man looked like?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's face darkened. After recalling for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said:
"The woman had long blonde hair, was very beautiful, had a great figure, and wore a gold bodysuit. She was decisive and ruthless in her attacks, and was clearly not a kind person. Beside her was a young man in blue clothes, wearing a bamboo hat, so his face could not be seen."
"The boy in blue?" Tang San frowned, a hint of familiarity flashing in his eyes.
My own brother, doesn't he usually like to wear blue clothes?
I wonder how he's been doing since he went to Heaven Dou City? So much time has passed, and even though I know he's at Shrek Academy in Soto City, he hasn't even written a letter…
While Tang San was lost in his memories, Xiao Wu next to him shrugged and said helplessly, "With so few clues, searching for someone in a place as big as Soto City is like looking for a needle in a haystack. There's no specific location, and no Soul Master registration, so we can't find anything."
"Can't find it?" Dai Mubai slammed his hand on the pillar beside him and shouted angrily.
"She attacked one of our Shrek Academy members? And injured Fatty like this? Even if it's like finding a needle in a haystack, I'll find that woman in the city! Shrek Academy can't lose face!"
Upon hearing this, Tang San nodded, a flash of killing intent in his eyes, and said, "I agree. Now that they have attacked us, we absolutely cannot let this go."
In Tang San's view, once he determined that the other party was an enemy, then he had already prepared to die, so he should not show mercy, otherwise he would only cause himself more trouble.
As he spoke, Tang San's gaze swept over the group, and he began assigning tasks:
"Next, we'll split up; it'll be more efficient that way. Xiaowu and I will be in one group, starting our search from East Street. Mubai, you and Zhuqing will be in one group, starting our search from West Street."
"Remember, once the target is spotted, do not act without authorization. Fire the signal flare immediately! In addition to us, the dean has also sent Teacher Zhao to follow us secretly this time."
After saying that, Tang San's hand brushed over the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon at his waist, and then he took out several signal flares of different colors and handed them to Dai Mubai.
"Understood." Dai Mubai nodded, took the signal flare, and replied in a low voice.
…………
Soto is especially lively at night.
The night market was brightly lit, with vendors lining both sides of the street, their calls rising and falling, and various aromas filling the air, attracting many people to linger there.
Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier walked side by side through the crowd, surrounded by the hustle and bustle.
"Hurry up, Tang Chuan!" Xiao Ruier tugged at Tang Chuan's sleeve, her face beaming with excitement. "Look, look! There are sugar figurines for sale over here, and that's an ice sculpture of a rabbit!"
She ran around like a naive child.
One minute they'd buy a candied hawthorn, the next they'd insist on watching a puppet show on the street. Before they knew it, they had two paper bags in their hands, filled with the snacks and trinkets they'd just bought.
Clearly, the human world is quite novel to the Emperor Beast.
Tang Chuan looked helplessly at Xiao Ruier, letting her enthusiastically drag him around the streets.
Just then, Xiao Ruier suddenly stopped. She walked up to a jewelry stall and her eyes were instantly drawn to it.
She picked up a butterfly-shaped hair clip from the stall; the pale gold metal wings were adorned with pink gemstones that refracted a gentle halo of light.
"Tang Chuan, look at this, isn't it pretty?" Xiao Ruier turned to look at Tang Chuan, her eyes bright and her lips slightly upturned, as she tucked a hair clip into her temple.
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan paused slightly and looked up at Xiao Ruier.
At that moment, the girl's golden hair, bright smile, and delicate butterfly hair clip... slowly overlapped with a familiar figure from his memory.
Both had blonde hair and both loved to laugh; one spring afternoon...
Wearing an almost identical butterfly hair clip, she sat under a cherry blossom tree on campus and turned to him, asking, "Do you think I look good today?"
The long-forgotten memories resurfaced, causing Tang Chuan to become slightly lost in thought.
"Hey, what are you spacing out for?" Xiao Ruier tilted her head slightly and waved her hand in front of his eyes.
Tang Chuan then came to his senses, a complex emotion flashing across his eyes, before he smiled gently and said, "No, I just think this hair clip suits you quite well."
"Of course, I have a great eye for talent."
Xiao Ruier immediately raised her chin triumphantly and snorted.
However, just then, a clear and energetic female voice rang out from afar, breaking Tang Chuan's brief reverie.
"Third Brother, there's a night market over there, shall we go check it out?"
I'm asking for monthly votes and recommendation votes.
