What Should I Do If I Can’T Die?

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Strange things happen every year, why are there a bit more this year?"

Lao Zhao agreed deeply, "Yes, there have been quite a few strange incidents recently. Just today, you must have heard that someone from our Song family drowned in the Jinjiang River, right?"

"Which servant died?"

Da Congming guessed that the Seventh Young Master must have taken someone else's carriage back, without thinking too much, he began to inquire about the rumors outside.

"You definitely won't guess."

Lao Zhao's expression was complicated with fear, "It was Lao Dou who died."

"What, that annoying Dou drowned?"

Da Congming widened his eyes, looking shocked but also somewhat comical.

Lao Zhao gestured for him to lower his voice, "Keep it down, this matter shouldn't be spread around, otherwise it will easily cause panic. The master is already troubled by it, he has ordered not to spread rumors."

"How is that possible? This guy is a top-notch expert, he has the strength of eight bulls, and he can swim himself..."

Da Congming muttered, unable to accept it.

Although he didn't get along well with Dou, he admitted that the other party was stronger than him and could rank in the top ten among the experts in the Song family.

Such a living person actually drowned, and it happened in the same area where the drowned Jin Yuan Temple monk was found. It looked eerie no matter how you looked at it.

"That's why I said it's strange. A postnatal expert like him actually drowned, it's really damn unprecedented."

Lao Zhao cursed.

"Uh-oh!"

Da Congming exclaimed, quickly jumping off the carriage, "Lao Zhao, are you sure you saw the Seventh Young Master just now?"

"I've told you several times, the Seventh Young Master came back, and we even greeted him."

Lao Zhao was very impatient.

After confirming that Lao Zhao wasn't lying, Da Congming breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, the Seventh Young Master just went to the reed marsh area."

"The Seventh Young Master went there?"

Lao Zhao's face changed drastically, he quickly turned his head and looked around: it was pitch black all around, making him feel uneasy, "Could he have encountered a ghost? I heard that there's a saying that people can come back to life after death, and the Seventh Young Master was even wearing black clothes..."

"Don't scare me!"

Da Congming's hair stood on end as he listened.

"Who knows, it was pitch black just now, who knows if it was a person or a ghost."

Lao Zhao tightened his clothes, "Damn it, even martial artists are afraid of these unclean things. Let's be careful, don't end up like Dou, dying inexplicably."

"You can, but I'm the personal bodyguard, I can't hide and not go out."

Da Congming sighed, "It's hard to make money these days."

"Troubled times are coming. It's safer to rely on the Song family than to be a lone ranger. There's also a chance to receive guidance from Old Qin and have some contact with Innate. We're not doing too bad."

Lao Zhao patted Da Congming's shoulder and glanced at the hollow between his eyes, "Looking at you, your Prajna skill is almost at the ninth level, right? If you can break through, with the strength of Postnatal Realm, you'll have some self-defense power."

"Even if I break through, it's nothing special. Two postnatal experts dying inexplicably in a row, we're just slightly better than ordinary people in terms of self-defense."

Da Congming shook his head, "We need to find the Seventh Young Master quickly, if something really happens, it will be troublesome."

"As long as you can break through to the ninth level, a playboy who only knows how to enjoy life all day won't have much influence on you."

Lao Zhao said meaningfully, "The master is planning to recruit more experts as guards. You can seize the opportunity. If you can become a small leader, there's no need to waste time with the playboy."

"The Seventh Young Master is actually not bad."

Da Congming frowned, thinking of the stones that Song Shi had thrown at him before, "And he's not as simple as he appears."

"He's just trying to win over the subordinates of the family's descendants. Don't let those benefits sway you. Now, following the main branch of the family is the way to go."

Lao Zhao said self-righteously, as for mentioning that Song Shi was not simple, he didn't take it seriously at all.

"I know, thanks!"

Da Congming clasped his fists, Lao Zhao had always taken care of him, although he didn't agree with the other's words, he still had to accept this favor.

"Work harder, I have faith in you!"

Lao Zhao grinned, "Being able to abstain from women for so many years, I admire you for that alone."

...

Reed marsh area.

It took Song Shi half an hour to walk over. He looked at the dark mass in the distance, instead of going straight there, he opened the system panel, modified the respawn point, and set it under the nearby stone bridge.

"Getting closer means dying faster."

Clapping his hands, Song Shi took a deep breath and put on a mask. After making sure there was no one nearby, he walked briskly.

He appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he was a little anxious. The instinctive fear kept growing.

Gritting his teeth, he approached the riverbank, thinking about the strange aura that appeared behind him last time. He stood sideways, trying to observe both sides as much as possible.

Splash!

The river suddenly churned, and Song Shi looked alertly. A black tentacle shot out suddenly.

Plop!

His heart was pierced, blood gushed out, and then he was pulled into the river.

"You were killed by a ghost through your heart. Constitution +1! Yang energy +3!"

"You draw strength from death and gain 1 free attribute point!"

"You will resurrect in three seconds!"

...

Song Shi emerged from under the stone bridge, instinctively clutching his chest and gasping for breath.

"Seems like some kind of tentacle monster, but unfortunately, I only saw the tip of the iceberg. Let's try again!"

Muttering to himself, Song Shi touched his face.

The mask was still there!

Indeed, anything he wore would resurrect with him.

Song Shi stood up, ran out quickly, and headed towards his death.

This time, he intentionally stayed further away from the riverbank, staring at the river with wide eyes.

"Damn it, what the hell is this thing? It killed me twice with just a glimpse of its true form!"

Suddenly, a strong force pushed him from behind. Song Shi was prepared, took a step back, and grabbed it with his hand.

"Hiss, it's so cold!"

Song Shi felt like he was holding onto an ice cube and finally turned his head to see a burly figure.

"Why does it feel a bit familiar?"

Just as he was about to examine the other person, Song Shi felt a pain in his chest again, and his heart was pierced.

"You were killed by a ghost through your heart. Yang energy +5!"

"You draw strength from death and gain 1 free attribute point!"

...

"The rewards have decreased, but there's still a little bit left."

Song Shi glanced at it and didn't mind, hurrying back.

"It seems like there are two things teaming up here to harm people. I can't neglect one while dealing with the other. I'll take them on one by one."

Song Shi changed his strategy and decided to first figure out what was in the water.

One minute later, he was sitting by the river, and something appeared behind him.

Song Shi couldn't be bothered and quietly watched the river.

Soon, the river started to ripple, and black energy surged.

A large hand pushed him from behind.

Song Shi grabbed onto the ground, completely ignoring what was behind him, and stared fixedly at the water's surface.

Swish!

A black shadow rushed out of the water, coming straight towards him.

Song Shi's pupils contracted, finally seeing clearly the tentacle that killed him. It was a sharp-tipped black tentacle, as thick as two fingers, with barbs on it, resembling a venomous snake.

He grabbed it, but the tentacle was unexpectedly strong, effortlessly slicing through his palm like a knife.

The next second, he died in the same way.

Under the stone bridge.

Song Shi frowned as he appeared.

"So powerful? I can't even win on the shore, let alone when it's in the water. I won't consider eliminating it for now with my current abilities. I'll die a few more times before deciding."
