1037
Huo Yingjie sensed something the moment He Tiantian was in trouble. At the same time, in the distant demon realm, the Snake King, who had once given He Tiantian the essence of water within his body, also sensed that something had happened to He Tiantian.
The essence of water has been eroded and oppressed by external forces.
The Snake King could sense this, and at the same time, he also felt that the essence of water had grown considerably. This shows that He Tiantian frequently came into contact with water and found pleasure in it, which led to this result.
After leaving using the spatial barrier opened by Huo Yingjie, the Snake King left behind his precious water essence.
On the one hand, it's to thank He Tiantian for her support over the years; on the other hand, it's also to leave myself with something to remember her by.
Perhaps he might come back?
If Huo Yingjie can't protect He Tiantian, then he should.
Perhaps his abilities are not as great as Huo Yingjie's, but he is willing to risk his life for it.
Now, after the Snake King returned to the demon realm, he happened to fall into the lair of the Black Bear Spirit.
"Huo Yingjie is a despicable villain," the Snake King cursed. His injuries had not yet healed. Although he had a lot of energy in his body after the tribulation, his injuries were affecting his performance.
I knew Huo Yingjie wouldn't let him have it easy in the demon realm.
Upon our return, we will immediately engage in battle.
The land of Beihuang is bordered by mountains and forests on one side and the sea on the other, with a huge, dense forest in the middle as the boundary.
Beyond the forest, near the mountains, lies the territory of the Black Bear Spirits, home to tens of thousands, countless Black Bear Spirits; on the other side, on the islands overlooking the sea, lies the dwelling place of the Spirit Serpent Clan.
The Black Bear Clan and the Spirit Serpent Clan have been entrenched here for tens of millions of years, fighting each other and experiencing a rise and fall.
Previously, after the deaths of the Serpent King's son and the Black Bear King, both sides suffered heavy losses and were unable to launch a counterattack. Therefore, they could only retreat to their respective territories to recuperate.
The return of the Snake King, accompanied by an imposing aura that commanded respect from the masses, caused unrest throughout the Black Bear Territory, drawing everyone towards the Snake King's location.
When they saw the Snake King, they were immediately stunned.
The elderly people, especially those who had seen the Black Bear King and the Serpent Prince fight together, were startled. Instead of immediately gathering around, they looked around to see if they could find the greatest Black Bear King.
They were disappointed, however, as only the Serpent Prince was present.
"Where is our king?" a tall, burly black bear spirit shouted. "Speak quickly, where is our king?"
The Snake King wanted to say that his king had been killed long ago, but seeing another new Black Bear King approaching from not far away, he devised a plan to sow discord. He said, "Haha, your king has naturally been sealed away in another barrier by me. Do you want your king to come back?"
"That's our all-powerful King Bear! You'd better release our king right now, or you'll be dead." This stupid bear didn't even look at the surroundings.
The black bear spirits around him gradually distanced themselves from him, as if they didn't recognize him.
Each race has only one king. If the previous king does not return to defeat the current king, they can only obey the current king.
However, this loyal subordinate of King Xiongben had never been given important positions by the new king, so he always hoped that King Xiongben could return.
"Hehe, if you let me go, I'll release your Bear King." The Snake King chuckled, but his heart was not as calm as it appeared.
The reason why the Spirit Serpent Clan has not wiped out the Black Bear Spirit for tens of millions of years is that whenever they set foot in this place, their power is suppressed by some force, and they can only exert half of their power. Similarly, the Black Bear Spirit will also be affected when it comes to Spirit Serpent Island.
For this reason, no racial group has ever truly occupied the territory of another.
Their target was the forest located between the two territories, where abundant food could be obtained.
During the truce, even if members of the two tribes see each other, they will not cross the central marker; they will only glare and curse, but will not fight.
However, during a period of conflict, they would fight to the death whenever they saw each other.
Two very strange ethnic groups.
However, this also aligns with the natural order of things. Wars result in death and the survival of the fittest. Too many spirits and monsters would negatively impact the forest's environment. Therefore, after wars, there are fewer spirits and monsters, which reduces their prey in the forest, giving it time to recover.
"Xiong Zhuang, shut up!" the new Bear King, Xiong Wu, roared. "Now that this brat has appeared in our territory during the truce, what we need to do is kill him and avenge the old Bear King!"
They didn't mention a word about bringing Old Bear King back.
With the return of the old Bear King, Xiong Wu's position was in jeopardy, so naturally he was unwilling to mention it.
"But what will happen to the old bear king if we kill him?" Xiong Zhuang was anxious, worried that if he spoke too late and killed the spirit snake prince, he would never hear from the old bear king again.
The new Bear King, Xiong Wu, was furious. He regretted not killing Xiong Zhuang earlier.
In front of so many people, he couldn't say anything that would be heartless and ungrateful.
"Xiong Zhuang, are you questioning me?" the new Bear King Xiong Wu sneered, looking coldly at Xiong Zhuang.
"But······"
"Shut up!" the new Bear King, Xiong Wu, roared. "The spirit serpent is always cunning. Even if we question him, he might not tell the truth. Kill him, extract his spiritual consciousness, and we'll know the correct answer. What we need to do now is kill him, kill him! Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
While they were arguing, the Snake King hurriedly used the secret techniques of the Spirit Snake Clan to repair his wounds and accumulate energy.
There's no escaping it; a major battle is inevitable.
By the time the Black Bear Spirits had finished their discussion, the Snake King had almost finished repairing the damage.
"You little thing, today is the day you die!" The new Bear King, Xiong Wu, shouted fiercely, wielding two huge axes as he charged at the Snake King.
In his haste, the snake king could only flee.
However, the Snake King discovered that the energy in his body was not bound by the Black Bear Spirit's Secret Realm, and he could freely exert his power without being suppressed.
This deduction reassured the Snake King. He might not be able to win against so many Black Bear Spirits, but escaping wouldn't be a problem.
However, before fleeing, he would definitely collect some interest; he couldn't just slink away like that.
"You asked for war, so let's go," the Snake King said arrogantly, showing no remorse for having intruded into the Black Bear Spirit's territory first.
Sure enough, the Snake King's words enraged the new Bear King Xiong Wu and the other black bear spirits, who all pounced on the Snake King.
The Snake King leaped into the air, where he stirred up clouds and rain. With the release of his spiritual power, raindrops clumped together and turned into large blocks of ice and hail, which fell from the sky.
Hailstones imbued with the Snake King's spiritual power rained down on the countless black bear spirits below.
