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

Chapter 55 The Calamity of Shanghuang! (Please continue reading)
"The chapter on witch doctors' exorcism includes methods for breaking curses, but at the time I didn't like practicing witch medicine and only remembered a few scattered parts."

Inside the cave where he was imprisoned, Fu stared in the direction Shen Can had walked out, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

After months of turmoil, all he has left is endless resentment.

"Keep fixing it, keep fixing it. This was researched by the mad witch doctor in our tribe."

"Only when the entire tribe is wiped out can I quell the hatred in my heart."

……

As Shen Can emerged from the cave where he had been held captive, he appeared thoughtful.

The location of the shipwreck is known only to Shanghuang and Zhiyan in the vicinity.

Of course, other tribes that did not perish cannot be ruled out, but the main suspect is still the Shanghuang tribe.

Otherwise, with such a vast wilderness, how could they have found it so accurately?

If the information leaked from the Upper Yellow Department suggests that the Blood Witch's origins are very likely the Copper Shell Market.

The Shanghuang tribe carried back two ironwood logs from the market. These ironwood logs, each over ten feet long, had been carried this far; who knows how many people saw them?

It's flashy enough.

"Ayu, go and call Brother Fire Monkey. I need him to contact the clan leader; there's something I need to discuss."

After arranging everything, Shen Can returned to his ear canal while chanting the incantation for exorcising curses.

[A ritual to exorcise curses and remove incantations, costing ten years of one's lifespan]

Shen Can entered the sacrificial cauldron with his divine sense, his face contorted in a five-pointed-up-heaven posture.

In the first year, you attempted to use this incomplete witchcraft, feeling your body gradually being hollowed out. In the third year, you died.

[You've noticed something amiss; this isn't a complete incantation exorcism technique, but rather an incomplete method that blends incantations and incantation techniques.]

……

After a century, you have finally traced the origins and analyzed the incomplete versions of the Zhuyou Exorcism Technique and the Witch Soul Blood Crossing Technique.

[You begin to deduce the method of exorcising curses using incantations...]

The next day, Shen Can woke up with a look of confusion in his eyes, and it took him a long time to come to his senses.

He spent over two hundred years of his lifespan trying to develop the method to remove the curse.

What Wei Fu gave was not only incomplete and harmful, but could only be considered a part of the exorcism ritual within the Zhu You (祝由) system.
That night, he only grasped the basics of exorcism techniques; he would need to extend his lifespan further to improve.

……

Seven days later, Huotang returned.

"Ah Can, Fire Monkey told me that a witch has been discovered at the shipwreck site."

I searched around the mining area and actually found some charred, withered grass.

I brought it back for you to see. It looks like burn marks, and it smells a bit bad.

“This time I went to the mining area to eavesdrop and confirmed that Shanghuangbu was indeed going to Daze.”

Huo Tang watched Shen Can examine the soil and asked impatiently, "How is it? Doesn't it resemble the marks on the sunken hill?"

"Ah."

Shen Can nodded after checking.

“Ah Can, I didn’t pay attention before, but when I went to the mining area this time, one of the martial artists from the mining team went missing.”

In their search for the missing warrior, they killed many miners.

I originally thought he was killed by the resentment of the miners, but now it seems most likely he was captured by this sorcerer and thus learned about the Shipwreck Hills.

Shen Can quickly made a judgment about the situation.

Based on the current information, the explanation has been completed.

As for the origin of the witch, it is more likely that she came from the Copper Shell Market. After all, it is difficult for witches to be born in the nearby barren land, and blood witches also have their own requirements.

"Ah Can, does this mean that the Upper Yellow Division is being targeted? Otherwise, why would a dignified wizard travel such a long distance to come here?"

Huotang paced back and forth in the ancestral temple, unsure whether to laugh or cry at this speculation.

It's true that they don't get along, but as tribes that are both striving to develop, they just had a chance to rise up when the crisis arrived.

"Ah-chan, is this sorcerer very powerful? Why is his sorcery different from yours? It has a faint stench?"

Even if Huotang didn't understand witchcraft, he knew that such witchcraft was definitely not good witchcraft.

"It's alright, it's a curse, I can break it."

"Really?"

Huo Tang looked at Shen Can, thinking, "This is a bit too fast."

After pondering for a moment, Shen Can said, "This wizard shouldn't be too strong, but his methods are rather ruthless."

The reason for this judgment is that, as Fu Fu had said before, when he advanced to the second-tier wizard, he only had a five-zhang divine sense perception.

Moreover, spiritual sense is extremely susceptible to external interference, which can cause a decline in its sensitivity.

The message from Huo Tu said that there were still torches, which means that the person's level of witchcraft was not strong, otherwise they wouldn't have used torches.

"If there is only one shaman, the impact on the Shanghuang tribe is uncertain, but it is still much better than us dealing with the situation in Shanghuang alone."

"In that case, I still need to go back and inquire about the situation."

After much thought, Huotang felt that the existing information was still too limited.

However, the fire monkey that delivered the message returned a few days later.

“Temple”.

Seeing the fire monkey rush into the ancestral temple, covered in dust, Shen Can, who was drawing shamanic symbols, stopped writing.

"The clan chief sent word that something has happened in the Shanghuang tribe!"

"Their Heavenly Vein Warriors suddenly turned on each other, and at least one died."

Shen Can was stunned. What kind of luck is this?
Then, another chill arose.

It was most likely the work of a blood witch.

Lu Fu said that blood witches are ruthless and unpredictable, and he only thought of using drugs. What the hell is this curse?
At lower levels, witchcraft and incantations require a medium to maximize their effectiveness.

"medium?"

"Even third-tier martial artists were affected."

"It's Tetsuya!"

Shen Can quickly figured it out.

Only those at the Heavenly Vein Realm can divide Tier 3 minerals, so it's perfectly normal for Heavenly Vein Realm warriors to come into contact with them.

In order to repair the ironwood ship, the Shanghuang tribe must have gone to the market more than once, and this was probably the first time they went that they were targeted.

A blood witch has come all this way just to incite infighting within the Upper Yellow Tribe; wouldn't that be a wasted trip?

The target should at least be the entire Shanghuang.

About half an hour later, Shen Can sorted out his thoughts.

"Ayu, go and invite the clan elders and Uncles Huoshan and Huoqi to the ancestral temple."

Soon, several figures arrived at the ancestral temple. "Ah Can, what's the matter?"

"Uncle Huoqi, gather all the warriors in the clan and divide them into two groups."

A force of four hundred men set up camp halfway between our tribe and the Upper Huang tribe to await news, while the remaining warriors were responsible for guarding the tribe.

Then, Shen Can looked at the two elders, Huo Yu and Huo Yu.

"Elders, Uncle Volcano and I are leaving the tribe. You need to mobilize all the tribespeople to pack their belongings and wait for news to come back."

In case of any unforeseen circumstances, Uncle Huoqi will lead the warriors who have gone out back to the tribe.

Then you will escort your people to Bishi Mountain, a place near the water, which is one of the migration sites chosen by the clan chief.

I will travel with the clan chief to Jadestone Mountain to meet you.

Shen Can made two preparations: if there were any missed spots in the upper part of the sulfur field, he would pick them up; if not, he would run away.

Why run? It's all because of this Blood Witch. If it were a Tier 3 Blood Witch, then running would be the only option.

However, the probability is low; it's at most a second-order probability, but he won't gamble on it.

"Ah Chan, this..."

While everyone was still in shock and silence, Huo Xian's lips were dry.

"Master, this is just a pre-arranged plan. Maybe we'll get something out of it."

As he spoke, Shen Can suddenly looked at Huo Qi, "Uncle Huo Qi, if you return, the first thing you should do during the migration is to have Uncle Huo Kui kill that guy in the detention cave."

Also, from now on, force-feed him anesthetic powder and don't let him wake up.

"I understand."

Huoqi nodded. "I will lead my people to wait for them halfway there."

"Ah Shan, protect Ah Can."

“I know,” Volcano nodded.

Shen Can went to the shelf behind him, grabbed a handful of talismans and stuffed them into his pocket, saying, "These talismans on the shelf are distributed to the most elite warriors in the clan. Just tear them open when you need them."

……

"Don't worry, Master. Even if we can't beat you, we're not short of legs."

After saying a few words to Huo Xian, Shen Can led Huo Shan, Huo Qing, Huo Mu, Huo Hou, and others away from the tribe heading south.

Huo Qing and Huo Mu are two clansmen who have recently been promoted to the level of thirty Desolate Power.

The fire monkey is the messenger.

The group, fully armed with bows, crossbows, witch knives, and wearing armor, arrived near the Shanghuang tribe.

Even Shen Can was dressed in witch armor and had a bow slung over his shoulder.

In a secluded valley, they awaited the arrival of the fire.

This is the meeting place between Fire Monkey and Fire Spirit; they determine the next location only after each meeting.

I waited for two days.

"Ah Chan, what brings you here!"

Upon seeing Shen Can appear in the valley, Huo Tang immediately ordered Huo Shan to send him back.

“Chief, we can’t just leave these opportunities unattended. How can we deal with that blood witch without me?”

"How is the condition of the upper part of the body?"

"very bad."

Huotang said, "I'm no longer in the mining area; I'm on a hilltop outside the Shanghuang Department."

In recent days, there have been violent battles every night within the tribe, leaving the entire tribe in a state of panic.

At this point, Huotang's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

He was also a little scared.

If a tribe lives in constant fear, it is not far from destruction.

"Is that place safe? Shall we go check it out?"

Huo Tang looked at the clansmen who had come with him, who could be considered the strongest in the clan, and had no choice but to nod in agreement.

into the night.

On a small hill in the northeast corner of Shanghuang, there used to be a sentry post.

A dense foliage mingled among the grass and trees, and several heads popped out, looking towards the direction of the upper part of the plant.

As the moon rose high in the sky, a sudden scream erupted from the quiet Shanghuang tribe's land, and torches were lit.

One by one, the figures quickly converged at one place.

Then, the sounds of fighting began.

It lasted for about half an hour before it subsided, and it seemed there were casualties.

……

On the hilltop, Shen Can squinted and scanned the surroundings of the Shanghuang tribe's territory.

Blood witches don't use the sophisticated spellcasting methods one might imagine; they must be activated at close range.

"Chieftain, let's wait. The Blood Witch won't show himself so easily unless we wreak havoc on the Upper Yellow Tribe."

This went on for almost half a month, with fights taking place every night.

On this day, the moon was hidden, and the night was colder than usual.

Before midnight, there was movement in the Shanghuang tribe's territory.

Chief Huang Yun of the Shanghuang tribe, with bloodshot eyes and blood trickling from the corners of his eyes, suddenly smashed through the house and rushed out.

They continuously blasted away the clansmen who came to stop them.

"Chieftain, wake up!"

"Ancestors, what has happened to us? Why are we being punished like this?"

……

Huang Yun let out a strange roar, like a beast's howl, and in a short time, dozens of his tribesmen were killed, their bodies covered in blood.

"what……"

After being stained with blood, his face became incredibly ferocious, with blood vessels bulging under his skin as if bloodworms were crawling on it.

In an instant, Huang Yun became even more bloodthirsty, and even the Heavenly Vein warriors in the clan were beaten by him and sent flying, spitting blood.

"Fire arrows!"

Huang Yang stood on the high place, tears streaming down his face, and roared tremblingly.

Dozens of his clansmen raised their crossbows and aimed them at their clan leader. Some of them were so weak that they could not stand steadily.

"put!"
