die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python spoke solemnly and with gratitude:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For this great kindness, the Star Dou Forest will never forget!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Li Zhexian not brought these four Titled Douluo,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the three Spirit Beast siblings would truly have
