After a century of worship, I became the ancestor of the tribe.

Chapter 25: Declaring One's Ambition and Entering the Game (Please Read Further)

To be honest, Volcano really is thinking of Shen Can.

In various tribes, women with large, round buttocks who have given birth are the most popular.

Good physique, experienced in childbirth, able to have two children in three years and three children in five years.

But Shen Can thought about it and decided against it. The women in the Great Wilderness tribe were all tall and strong, almost as big as the men.

With my small frame, I couldn't even touch my head when I reached sixty-nine on the couch.

The news brought back by the volcano further proved the power of the improved witchcraft medicine.

Whether decocted into a medicinal soup for prevention or burned in a fire to produce smoke, it can effectively drive away plague insects.

Other tribes were ineffective at blocking the plague worms; they couldn't stop the densely packed plague worm army.

Coupled with the one-legged monster bird, once the plague insects tear open a gap, it will be a catastrophic disaster.

By the way, now Shen Can knows what this strange bird is called.

Qizhong (跂踵) is one of the many plague beasts in the Great Wilderness.

"Although some people from the Yanshan tribe escaped, the number of plague insects has grown after they absorbed the young and strong members of the Yanshan tribe. We still need to be on guard."

Huotang spoke up, "A-Can, the women and children of Yanshan tribe will be arranged to stay outside first. You will also be needed to drive away the plague later."

When a plague breaks out, people from other tribes cannot be brought into the tribe all at once; they have to wait outside for a period of time.

How many are there?

Shen Can asked.

"There are over two hundred women, maybe over a hundred, dozens or even hundreds of children, dozens of able-bodied men, and the rest..."

The volcano erupted intermittently.

It doesn't seem very smart, but fortunately the total number isn't too large, so the error shouldn't be too big.

“We can just use the herbs brought by the Fushan tribe. I saw that they have a complete range of varieties.”

“The tribe arranged for a few people to build a fumigation cave outside the tribe.”

Shen Can spoke up, "By the way, make a few more, so we won't run out later."

He had already realized that Huotang seemed to be preparing to annex the remaining forces, and Yanshan was just the beginning.

"You can pick any number of people you want," Huo Tang agreed without hesitation.

In the past, Huotang would have definitely asked detailed questions about the construction of the fumigation cave, but since the appearance of the witch talisman, Huotang no longer asks many questions about the things he arranges.

a few days later.

Shen Can met the remnants of the Yanshan tribe in a cave outside the tribe.

Well, it's a bit different from what was described about the volcano before.

The total number of people is only a little over two hundred.

There were 137 young women, about 30 children around 10 years old, and only 9 five-year-olds and infants.

The remaining women looked quite old, and among them were three female warriors at the Stone Splitting Realm.

Of the dozens of able-bodied men the volcano mentioned, only seven were seen, and all of them were injured.

The atmosphere was very somber; there wasn't even the sound of a baby crying.

……

Outside the cave.

Huotang spoke up, "Ah-Can, how many people do you think will survive?"

The Blazing Flame Tribe has not received any new members from outside for a long time. The members of the tribe are so close that they are all related by blood, and they urgently need outsiders to join them.

He, as the clan leader, was actually very anxious.

"Chief, isolate those with symptoms first, and isolate them as soon as they are discovered. Have the aunties from the tribe come and help take care of the children."

Having suffered such a great upheaval, people are already demoralized. Even if they haven't been infected by the plague yet, they will inevitably catch it sooner or later if they gather together like this.

Some of them may be fine now, but they may just be in the incubation period.

"These people are too weak. Let's cook some thin millet porridge first, and then we'll take the animal meat and mix it into the millet tomorrow to cook it into a paste."

"Stop the fumigation for now and switch to herbal decoction. We'll resume the fumigation once everyone has recovered."

A few days later, two-thirds of the people in the cave developed symptoms.

Even though Shen Can was extremely careful, a few children still couldn't withstand it.

After dealing with the remnants of Yanshan, one must also take care of one's own family.

Now, the clan already knows about his ability to draw shamanic symbols, and his influence within the clan is rapidly approaching that of Huotang.

As soon as Shen Can entered the clan's fumigation cave, someone grabbed his leg.

It turned out to be Fire Turtle.

"Brother Can, are you really a witch?"

The fire turtle raised its head and asked excitedly.

"Can you spray water?"

Fire Turtle's mother, Fire Xuan, reached out and grabbed Fire Turtle by the ears, pulling it upwards, while her other hand landed on Fire Turtle's buttocks.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll spank your ass."

After striking twice, Huo Xuan looked at Shen Can.

“Ah… Temple… Ah Yuan is still young, he…”

"Aunt Xuan."

After pulling Ah Yuan out of his mother's clutches, Shen Can looked at Ah Yuan's mother, who was not as relaxed as before and was very restrained.

With his robust physique and two large, somewhat awkwardly positioned hands, he resembled Lu Zhishen dressed as Lin Daiyu.

Not only Fire Turtle Mother, but also the other women, children and elderly people in the cave looked at him with restraint and awe.

The legendary shaman suddenly materialized, erasing any sense of familiarity he once had.

“Brother A-Can, Uncle Yuan said that you can unleash a bolt of lightning with a single wave of your hand.”

Fire Turtle looked up at Shen Can and said, "You should fry A-Shu. He keeps pulling my little finger."

"You pinch his too." Shen Can chuckled, patting A Yuan's head. "A Can, you pat my kid's head too."

At that moment, an older woman approached and held out the baby she was holding.

"Patting your head?"

"Me too, let the temple pat your head, maybe you can become a wizard when you grow up."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere inside the cave changed abruptly.

The Zhuang women, who were initially a bit reserved, all gathered around with their babies in their arms.

Shen Can squeezed out of the crowd three times, only to be surrounded three times.

“Temple Master, feel my son’s chin.”

"Come quickly, let the witch touch you."

Soon, a group of children spread their legs in front of Shen Can, while a group of women stood by and commented on their behavior.

Adults in the tribe often tease the children by pinching their genitals, which often frightens the children into running around and screaming, causing a burst of laughter.

In his memory, Shen Can had experienced this scene even when he was a child.

A group of women approached, and the surging waves resembled a terrifying deep-sea scene, frightening him so much that he hurriedly ran out of the cave.

He's now both a temple priest and a shaman, in charge of tribal rituals and medical care. Touching heads is one thing, but pulling on the head...

Is this something a proper wizard would do?

A whiny wizard?

This name is absolutely laughable.

"call……"

Stepping out of the cave, Shen Can let out a long sigh of relief.

Looking out from the mountain, one can see that watchtowers have been built on all the surrounding hills.

The tribe's warriors have now been divided into four groups.

The warriors within the clan, under the leadership of two elders, Huo Yun and Huo Yu, guard the clan's territory.

A warrior from outside the tribe, Volcano led a team to scout out the situation of other tribes.

Another clansman, Huo Kui, second only to Huo Shan, was responsible for transporting supplies from the remnants of the tribe ravaged by the plague, as well as relocating the remaining tribesmen.

The remaining staff were there to run errands for him.

It can be said that if Shen Can wants to rise to power now, he already has the foundation to overthrow Huotang.

However, seeing Huo Tang's weathered appearance, with bloodshot eyes and unable to sleep all night, Shen Can felt that the position of clan leader was a bit tiring.

The moment I opened my eyes, I was surrounded by the daily lives of over two thousand people, their marriages, the safety of the tribe, and the howling of old bachelors.

If a group of burly men, all over two meters tall and with no one to warm their beds, get together every day, who knows what kind of ideas will pop into their heads?

Whoever wants to be the clan leader can do it.

Not to mention his methods at the ancestral temple, he has no chance of becoming the clan leader.

Furthermore, in terms of spirituality, the temple is a higher and more prestigious entity than the clan chief.

Especially during this plague, Huo Xian retreated from public life, and the entire clan, young and old, drank the medicinal soup that he led the way in brewing.

Its influence skyrocketed.

Previously, he was just a temple priest, but now he is both a shaman and a temple priest, and his status in the tribe has risen to the top.

Whenever he opens his mouth, he says he wants to become the clan chief.

Not to mention his own clansmen, even the clan chief Huotang might let him do it.

Over the past few months, Shen Can's mindset has gradually changed, and he has become more and more accustomed to the Great Wilderness world.

At first, he had more of a "self-preservation" mentality, seeing himself as someone hidden in the Blazing Flame Tribe.

They used the Kui Niu Fist and improved the shamanic methods to strengthen the tribe's power, but the focus was not on increasing the tribe's strength, but on their own safety.

I only gave it to them because I was afraid the scorching heat would finish.

In addition, he also acts according to his identity as 'Chan'.

"The past life is like a dream, only this life is real."

……

Ah Yu ran up from the foot of the mountain, "Brother Ah Can, what are you looking at?"

"Looking at the mountains makes me think."

Shen Can slowly withdrew his gaze. "I'm thinking about which of the women among the remnants of Yanshan is suitable to be Yu Di's wife."

Ah Yu's bear-like body suddenly began to writhe.

"Chan...Chan-hyung, two...is that okay?"

To Shen Can's astonishment, A Yu stretched out two carrot-shaped fingers.

Her face turned slightly red.

"Good, good, good, my brother is so kind."

Shen Can tiptoed and patted A Yu's shoulder twice.

"Let's go find the clan chief."

"Ah...isn't that a bit too fast?"

Shen Can took two steps back and kicked A Yu, "What are you thinking? You won't have a wife until you reach the Mountain Opening Realm."

"No, if you don't reach the Heavenly Vein, you can just play with your bird by yourself."

"I'll go ask the clan chief about the situation outside the clan."

"You idiot, is your wife that important?"

“Hey…” Ah Yu scratched the back of his head, “Uncle said it’s really fun to have a wife at night.”

He quickly caught up with Shen Can, "Brother Can, I want one with a big butt. My uncles and aunts all say a big butt is good."

“Alright, follow the temple. Not just you, everyone in the tribe will have a wife.”
