What If I Can’t Die?

This river was called the Black Water River. Its source came from underground. Because the rocks in the canyon were black, the water also looked black.

Above the black river was a huge mountain range, and inside the mountain range, there was still a river flowing slowly.

There was also a huge lake in the upper reaches of the river. It was as calm as ink. At this moment, a circle of ripples appeared on the surface of the lake, which was usually very quiet. The surface of the lake suddenly rose.

With a splash, a huge snake head raised underwater. Cold water vapor spread and formed fog.

The snake head was larger than the house and its body was unknown. Water flowed down the huge scales on its head.

On the shore, many old men in snake skin sat cross-legged. Sensing the commotion, many of them stood up and flew towards the giant snake.

“Lord Totem Spirit, what has alarmed you?” The old man in the lead asked respectfully.

“Several of my outstanding juniors died at the same time. Investigate what happened.” The giant snake said coldly.

“Yes, my lord.”

The few elders revealed puzzled expressions. The battle with Ning Country had already ended. How could many Barbarian Snakes have died and even alarmed the totem spirit?

Crash!

The giant snake returned to the water. He usually did not care unless there was an important battle.

In a mountain range very close to the Black Snake Tribe, it was covered in snow. Many ice mountains had not melted for ten thousand years, and there was a large tribe at the foot of the mountain.

Suddenly, the largest iceberg shook.

At the top of the mountain, a cold wind suddenly whistled and snow fluttered.

A huge snow-white wolf that was more than a thousand feet tall appeared. If not for the fact that the mountain he was on was ten thousand feet tall, its body would have been even larger than ordinary mountains.

Its eyes were bloodshot as it buzzed towards the mountainside, “Han Ya and the others are in trouble. Investigate what’s going on immediately.”

“Yes.”

A reply appeared at the waist of the mountain. Then, a small ice wolf left the tribe with its men.

The Ice Wolf Tribe and the Black Snake Tribe were both located in the north of the Savage Kingdom. One was in the northwest while the other was in the northeast. They were relatively close to each other. They contacted each other in the middle and met up before they arrived at the Savage Kingdom’s Imperial City.

They exchanged information with each other and were rather shocked.

“The Barbarian Kings of the two tribes are leading the team. Even if they went to the border of Ning Country, nothing should have happened, right? It’s fine if something happened, but we can’t even contact them.”

“If not for the connection between the totem spirit and the savage beast’s bloodline power, I’m afraid we wouldn’t know at this moment. This matter is definitely not simple.”

“I suspect that the Ning Country deliberately made a move. Could it be the royal family?”

“The royal family is already afraid of the Barbarian Emperor. They probably don’t dare to. It’s most likely some arrogant sects who will report to the Barbarian Emperor first.”

The two sides conversed briefly and rushed towards the Savage Kingdom’s Imperial City together.

The area where the Savage Kingdom was located was a hundred thousand mountains. In fact, it was in the Savage Desolate Mountain Range. However, it only occupied a portion of it. The Savage Desolate Mountain Range spanned more than a million kilometers, and most of it was still dominated by demon beasts.

Since ancient times, the barbarians had lived in such an area where demon beasts roamed freely. Naturally, they joined forces with some ancient demon beasts and powerful mutated beasts that were now known as Wild beasts to form tribes. Then, under the rule of the strongest tribe, they formed the Savage Kingdom.

Although it was a country, its territory had actually surpassed that of the Ning Country and it was also stronger. Especially since the environment was harsh for generations, the Barbarian Wild beasts were very powerful.

Now, the strongest tribe in the Savage Kingdom was also the Barbarian Emperor’s tribe called the Barbarian God Tribe. Its totem was the Barbarian God and it was once the strongest existence in the Barbarian Tribe.

In the era where the first Barbarian God was, the Savage Kingdom was invincible. It had once occupied most of the Savage Desolate Mountain Range and even swallowed a few nearby countries.

Unfortunately, the later generations became worse. The Savage Kingdom’s sphere of influence shrank a lot and was eventually surrounded by a few countries. It was difficult for them to expand their territory and obtain more resources.

However, the Barbarian Emperor of this generation had the potential to revive. He was powerful and had powerful tricks up his sleeve. First, he unified the various tribes in the country and led the Savage Kingdom to expand its territory again. The first person he attacked was the Ning Country. He won in one battle and successfully made the Ning Country cede thousands of miles of land. He had no choice but to admit defeat.

The Ning Country and their relatives had chosen the Ninth Princess. The two Barbarian Kings who had gone to pick up the Ninth Princess were already halfway there when they secretly learned that the Ninth Princess had run away. The location she had gone to was very close to them, so they simply changed directions to capture her. In the end, they suddenly lost contact with her.

When the elders of the two tribes arrived at the palace, they did not see the Barbarian Emperor. Instead, he was the uncle of the sixth prince of the Barbarian Race, the Barbarian King of the Ice Wolf Tribe, Han Ci.

The latter was slightly older than Han Ya and wore a golden robe embroidered with wolves. When he saw the two elders, he said, “After I received the news, I’ve already pressured the Ning Country and asked them to ensure the safety of Han Ya and Xuan Che.”

The two elders heaved a sigh of relief. Their two tribes were both supporters of the Sixth Prince and knew that nothing could happen at this time. They had to successfully reconcile. In the future, the Sixth Prince would be able to obtain some resources from Ning Country and have a chance to become the next Barbarian Emperor.

The elder of the Black Snake Tribe asked, “Should we go over?”

“Yes, the Sixth Prince asked us to find out what exactly happened. Is it because some people in Ning Country are unwilling to marry, or is it because other outsiders are interfering?”

Han Ci’s gaze was cold, “Only after we figure it out can we answer to His Majesty.”

The Ice Wolf Tribe elder frowned. “Indeed, this matter is strange. We have to go and take a look personally.”

“Let’s set off as soon as we’re ready. We should be able to obtain some information halfway.”

Han Ci sneered. “I think those spineless people in Ning Country wouldn’t dare to not investigate properly.”

When they set off, a team of people from Ning Country rode a spirit ship through the void and crossed the mountain range, quickly approaching the area where the barbarians had disappeared.

On the ship, a few people stood at the edge and observed the situation on the ground.

“These remote places are all mortal villages. Could it be that some wild villagers will cause something to happen to the bridal escort team led by the two Barbarian Kings?”

A man wearing a felt hat and looking like a scholar casually voiced his confusion.

On the other side, a soldier in golden armor with a sharp aura said coldly, “If they didn’t deliberately tease us, then there must really be some expert hiding here.”

“Expert? General Chen, you’re too nervous. What expert came back to this godforsaken place?”

The scholar in the felt hat could not help but chuckle and say meaningfully, “I think the other ability is greater. There’s a faction that doesn’t want to see the Savage Kingdom’s Sixth Prince and our Ninth Princess marry. If that’s the case, what faction do you think it is?”

“I don’t think anyone dares to offend the two countries. Moreover, this Ninth Princess escaped on her own.”

General Chen disagreed.

“What if it’s someone from the Savage Kingdom?”

The felt-hat scholar teased, “There’s internal strife everywhere. I think there are also people over there who don’t want to see this marriage being completed.”

“You’ve underestimated the Barbarian Emperor’s methods.”

General Chen shook his head. “This is the Barbarian Emperor’s idea. Whoever dares to play tricks will die miserably.”

“Indeed. How can it be simple to subdue those unruly barbarians and start a war?”

The scholar in the felt hat agreed and looked at the ground with a displeased expression. “In the end, this Ninth Princess is still insensible. If not for the fact that she doesn’t know the severity of the matter, why would there be so many things happening and giving others a chance?”

“Sirs, there’s an abnormality ahead.”

Suddenly, a soldier rushed over to report.

The two people who spoke instantly disappeared, and the others rushed forward.

At the bow of the ship, the people observing the situation were looking ahead in a daze, their expressions filled with shock.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two higher-ups appeared. Soon, their expressions changed and their pupils constricted. Their gazes gathered upon a village.

Between the village and them, there was really a huge palm that was still in the state of falling, but it had not completely fallen and was floating in the air.

This handprint spanned more than a thousand meters. The space below was enveloped by the palm. From the sky, one could vaguely see some black snakes, ice wolves, and human figures.

The two of them could not help but look into the distance with dark expressions.

General Chen frowned and said, “Chief Wu, what you said makes sense. There are really experts in such a place!”

The latter’s expression was not good as he shouted, “How dare you suppress our Ning Country’s esteemed guest. You really don’t know what’s good for you.”

His voice rumbled as he arrived at Qingsang Village a step earlier. “Hurry up and let go of the esteemed guests. Otherwise, if anything happens, you won’t be able to bear the responsibility!”

Song Shi, who was listening to Ning Ruqin play the zither in the courtyard, was stunned. The first batch of people to come was actually from Ning Country and not Savage Kingdom. Furthermore, they were actually on Savage Kingdom’s side.

This was really interesting.
