Chapter 686: Chapter 206: The Diverging Paths of Fourth Grade Cultivation, the Temptation of the Wolf Mother
On the table, everyone was discussing topics such as "Where did Ping’an go," while no one mentioned the "Divine Tomb," because it was set by Li Yuan as a "forbidden topic."
The Divine Tomb is a great secret, the fewer people who know about it, the better.
After the meal, the siblings rode back on the wolves. When they arrived at the entrance of the tomb, the Barbarian King clasped his fists and said, "Sister, this time I might go deeper into the ice field to explore, and it might take more than a month before I return.
That means you’ll have to wait over a month before you can come home for a meal."
Xiaozhao, with the demeanor of an elder sister, said, "Go on, go on."
She was very easygoing, and this ease made the Barbarian King feel novel and comfortable.
He suddenly asked, "What kind of person is our father...after all?"
Xiaozhao: "Eh?"
The Barbarian King asked, "Why are you and I, and Li Ping’an completely different... Obviously... obviously, we all have the same father. I am only thirteen years old this year, but I have already gained... terrifying power.
I heard Li Ping’an is already a true genius outside. Yet, he’s twenty years older than me, has cultivated for twenty more years, and still can be defeated by me in an instant. Why is that?
Why is there such a big difference between us?"
Xiaozhao did not know the "secret of the Barbarian King’s longevity," so she said, "Ping’an and I are different too, our father is a legend after all."
The Barbarian King thought for a moment and realized that indeed, his eldest sister and Li Ping’an were different, so he put aside this small doubt and then said, "Sister, you should go in quickly. Father said that only in the Divine Tomb, you are invincible, outside... you are very fragile."
"Well then, bye-bye." Xiaozhao waved politely and then turned and walked towards the azure passage. As she walked, she turned her body sideways to look back, only to see the Barbarian King still looking at her. She smiled and waved, "Xiaohuang, see you next time!"
Xiaohuang?
The Barbarian King was momentarily stunned and then laughed slightly.
This name... is rather unique, thinking about it, only his mother used to call him that when he was very young.
However, he did not mind, and said, "Elder Sister, I’m watching you walk."
"You also take care of your safety on the road." Xiaozhao babbled on.
The Barbarian King smiled, waving his strong arm, causing the surrounding wind and snow to tremble up and down.
He laughed loudly, "Hey, you should let others take care of their safety! With Zhenyan Huang here, they should be the ones being careful!"
He watched the woman leave, then turned, leading his subordinates and wolf riders into the distance.
This time, he was going to explore a massive ice domain in the northwest direction.
That ice domain was referred to as "Kabulor" in the ancient scrolls of the Nine Great Clans, meaning "Sea of Slumber."
This ice domain is quite unique, mainly because... the wind is very small, and the terrain is very flat.
In a place like the Western Pole Eternal Night, where there are strong winds, blizzards, ice mountains, and snow hills everywhere, calm winds and flat land are anomalies.
However, this area is unusually enormous.
...
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
The Barbarian King did not return as expected because he found that his team had become lost.
However, the Barbarian King would never despair, he was like a burning sun, life continued, and his light never extinguished, he would always enthusiastically lead his troops forward.
Yet, as they walked, everyone suddenly stopped.
It wasn’t them who stopped, but the wolves beneath them, whose limbs went limp, bodies trembled, and emitted pleading, submissive "whimpering" sounds as if facing a superior entity.
The Ice Barbarians quickly calmed them, but the Ice and Snow Giant Wolves all lay down.
Immediately, the air was filled with a strong, strange bloody scent.
The Barbarian King and the accompanying Ice Barbarians looked around, only to see one giant figure after another emerging from the darkness around them, and by relying on their Ice Barbarian bloodline, they finally saw the appearance of these giant figures.
These were all pale two-headed giant wolves.
"There are actually these ghostly things in the depths of the ice field?" an Ice Barbarian said in surprise.
Another Ice Barbarian said, "Be careful, these Two-headed Cyan Wolves do not seem weak."
And yet another Ice Barbarian laughed, "So what if they aren’t weak? It just means they are tougher to chew..."
While everyone was conversing with each other, those Two-headed Cyan Wolves suddenly launched an attack.
These Two-headed Cyan Wolves seemed to be the "superiors" to the Ice and Snow Giant Wolves, except for Xiaobai, who still persisted, all the other Ice and Snow Giant Wolves were quickly defeated without a fight.
However, the Ice Barbarians were natural-born warriors, laughing and fighting fearlessly.
But slowly, they began to realize something was wrong.
Because these Two-headed Cyan Wolves numbered in a ridiculous amount, and... an average Ice Barbarian could barely hold off one Two-headed Cyan Wolf.
One must know that the Ice Barbarians who could follow at the Barbarian King’s side were very powerful, with at least half having reached the level of a Fifth Grade.
Yet even as a Fifth Grade, they could only barely fend off one Two-headed Cyan Wolf.
The gray wolves surged back and forth, quickly shattering the Ice Barbarians into pieces.
Under the repeated charges, Barbarian King’s subordinate Xiaobai soon exhausted itself, its knees buckled, and collapsed to the ground.
The Barbarian King twisted his neck, but he didn’t leave; he stood beside Xiaobai, frantically hacking at the approaching Two-headed Cyan Wolves.
But he, after all, was not an invincible Demon God. While it wasn’t a big problem to protect himself, a moment’s mistake led to Xiaobai being dragged away by a wolf.
The Barbarian King was enraged instantly, roaring with fury, wielding his Golden Giant Axe, and chased after it.
Xiaobai was tamed by his father personally.
Xiaobai grew up alongside him.
For him, Xiaobai was not just a mount!
Yet, somehow, the number of Two-headed Cyan Wolves here was overwhelming, and the Barbarian King was soon submerged in the slaughter, only able to take care of himself, unable to attend to the dragged-away Xiaobai any longer.
He didn’t know how long he fought, only that the corpses of Two-headed Giant Wolves had already piled up like mountains beneath him.
He stood atop this mountain of flesh and blood, looking around, and realized that all he could see... were these strange wolves everywhere.
The Barbarian King finally began to catch his breath, muttering, "How can there be such a ghostly place?"
He fought with all his might, the mountain of flesh and blood beneath his feet grew taller, but he remained determined...
But this determination too would fade with time.
After who knows how long, he finally felt a tremor in his right arm.
Then, his legs also began to tremble.
Finally, in the leap of a huge Two-headed Cyan Wolf, he was knocked to the ground.
Crash!!
The Golden Giant Axe skillfully chopped the giant wolf in half.
The Barbarian King stood up, grasping a wolf head with his left hand, "bang," it exploded.
But he lost his direction, all he could see were countless Two-headed Cyan Wolves, he finally began to pant...
He swung the giant axe, slowly becoming numb.
He began to hope these gray wolves would decrease, but... this thought went unanswered.
The weight of exhaustion grew heavier, finally, he staggered forward, then quickly planted the giant axe into the ground, barely maintaining balance.
And at that moment, he suddenly felt the attack of the Two-headed Giant Wolves cease.
The Two-headed Giant Wolves opened up a path.
The Barbarian King looked up, and saw a graceful figure cloaked in Silver Gauze, walking out from the wolf pack with an enticing smile.
"Wolf Mother!"
The Barbarian King shouted the name of the coming figure.
But then, he shook his head, puzzled and uncertain.
Because the person appeared as the Wolf Mother, but wasn’t the Wolf Mother of the Barbarian Race.
After standing still, the Silver Gauze girl said, "I am the Wolf Mother."
"You..."
"There are nine Ice Barbarian Clans in the world, so why can there only be one Wolf Mother?" The Silver Gauze girl covered her mouth and laughed, laughing until her voice became mocking.
The tone of derision was impossible to hide.
The Barbarian King asked with a muffled voice, "What are you laughing at?"
The Silver Gauze girl said, "I’m laughing at you... knowing nothing, yet living happily every day."
The Barbarian King was silent for a moment and asked, "Know what?"
The Silver Gauze girl stepped forward fearlessly, arriving beside him, lifting his chin lightly, and caressed his body.
The Barbarian King seized her, lifting her into the air, staring at her coldly.
The Silver Gauze girl said, "I am Meng Xingxian."
"I don’t care what you call yourself," the Barbarian King said.
Meng Xingxian laughed, "I laugh because I pity you... you still don’t know you can only live for a little over thirty years, do you? Great Barbarian King?"
The Barbarian King snorted coldly, pressing his axe to her neck, and said, "Fool! Make your wolves get out of the way, or... I’ll kill you!"
Meng Xingxian gently clapped her hands.
A group of Two-headed Giant Wolves immediately parted ways.
The Barbarian King looked around, then walked out with Meng Xingxian in hand.
As he walked, he kept looking back, and surely... the Two-headed Giant Wolves did not pursue.
