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

Chapter 84 The Young Master Departs, the Bobu Arrives from the South

"Our Lingyu tribe rose to prominence in the Great Swamp back then, relying on a relic..."

"Crack!"

With tremendous force, Shen Can threw Fu Fu against the cave wall like a dead dog.

Okay, that's enough.

If it's true, I can look for it later if I have the chance.

If it's fake, this bastard will make up anything to survive.

It's better that he's dead, otherwise we'd always have to arrange for a Heavenly Vein Realm member to watch over him all the time.

Soon, some clansmen came in, carried the corpse of the leopard out, chose a place to pour animal oil on it, burned it to ashes, and scattered the ashes.

A stream of water appeared beneath Shen Can's feet, carrying him into the swamp.

After entering the water for several miles, waves surged up, and the crocodile head of the lord appeared on the surface.

"Lord."

The crocodile lord saw Shen Can still in the form of a Kui ox, shrouded in water.

"How's the injury?"

"With the magic potion given by the Lord, I've recovered most of the way."

"That's enough. Attack that gathering point ahead tonight. Remember to scare them, but don't actually attack."

under night.

Gathering point at Gudingshan.

Apart from the sentries on night duty, everyone else had already gone to sleep.

Wow!

Suddenly, streaks of light burst forth from the water's edge and crashed down upon the houses.

Roar!
A roar resounded, and a water beast with a golden glow appeared and disappeared in the water.

The sudden change awoke the entire settlement. The night watchmen began shooting arrows at the water, and figures emerged from the houses and ran deeper into the land.

The beacon tower was set on fire.

Before long, a roaring sound came from the water.

Someone looked back and saw two glowing figures fighting on the water.

Water jets shot into the sky, creating huge waves that crashed against the shore, submerging some waterside fields and low-lying houses.

You can also hear roars that sound like dragons.

Before long, the sounds of fighting drifted into the depths of the marshland.

……

the next day.

Shen Can returned to the tribe.

He had considered whether or not to put on this show before, but then he decided to just treat it as a joke.

With this scene, the story of "Young Master Fu" of the Lingyu tribe is considered over.

People leave their mark as they pass by, just as geese leave their calls as they fly by. What if it comes in handy with the Lingyubo tribe someday?

Besides, it's not much trouble to say it.

On the three-tiered training ground established in the tribal territory, martial artists at the levels of youth, rock-crack, and mountain-opening realms were cultivating, from bottom to top.

As for why there were clansmen who looked quite old in the youth martial arts arena.

Do not ask.

The answer is that they should sit at the same table as the children.

Besides the clansmen, there were also talented martial artists who had emerged from among the subjects in the training grounds.

There are now thirteen settlements, each guarded by tribesmen who teach the lower-quality Kui Niu Fist.

Shen Can obtained many tempering methods from the Shanghuang and Shanghu tribes, but he did not use them to deduce them. Instead, he made the entire tribe fight the Kui Niu Fist to the death.

There's no other reason than to concentrate our efforts on one main direction; the Blazing Flame Sect isn't ready to expand in multiple areas yet.

If someone among the tribe shows talent, they will be incorporated into the tribe and receive the same level of training.

Currently, the clan's martial arts training system is a three-tiered system. Apart from the young people who have just entered the martial arts world, the others will also undertake corresponding tasks during their training.

For example, stationing, patrolling, hunting, gathering, etc., and based on performance and merit, one can obtain additional cultivation resources besides the basic cultivation resources.

Currently, Huotang is leading the clan elders to sort out and prepare to compile statistics on the cultivation consumption of all clan members, and adjust to a more reasonable basic resource distribution system.

In addition, those who serve as elders or hold official positions within the clan will also receive corresponding cultivation resource subsidies.

In short, it will change the previous chaotic state of cultivation.

Of course, those with good talent will be given special attention and double the resources.

The rare seedlings from the Witch Temple belong to this category.

There's nothing we can do; wizards are so rare they don't amount to much.

Huotang, who had nothing to do today, was also training in the martial arts arena.

Shen Can landed on the training ground and gently stomped on the bluestone slabs under his feet.

This is Qingfeng Stone, which is very hard and can withstand the bombardment of twenty to thirty units of desolate power.

It was Huotang who brought it back from the Upper Lake region and used it to cover the training ground, the witch hall, and the martial hall with bricks.

"done?"

Huo Tang walked up to Shen Can.

“When the flames of war were lit last night, I sent Aqi with men to make sure the act was convincing.”

Having caught the dragon fish, Young Master Fu naturally left.

Even when Saruyama and Sotori came to ask him later, he said the same thing.

The young master of the Bo family is leaving, and you're still thinking about having him say goodbye?

“Ah Can, do you think we could recruit more strong women from among the tribes to enter the tribe and encourage childbirth? Anyway, even if they have a few more babies, we can afford to raise them now.”

"Row."

Shen Can nodded.

Encouraging childbirth will be a long-term priority for the tribe.

Currently, excluding himself, the clan has seven Heavenly Vein cultivators, dozens of Mountain Openers, and over a thousand six hundred Stone-Splitting Warriors among its subjects.

The Temple of Witchcraft was initially established, and the Temple of Martial Arts also began to take shape.

Everything is on track.

The next step is to guide the remnant souls of our ancestors, forge sacrificial artifacts that belong to the Blazing Flame tribe, and become a superior tribe.

As the two were talking, a black dot on the distant marshland grew closer and closer.

"It's Ah Shan who's back."

Soon, the ironwood boat entered the man-made river and headed towards the boat hole.

Ahead of the boat, the little dragonfish rushed to the artificial riverbank, its big head raised and mouth wide open.

The children, who had been waiting for the ironwood boat to return, crowded the riverbank and eagerly threw fruit into the little dragonfish's mouth.

The little dragonfish that ate the fruit opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of saliva.

The little ones, soaking wet, didn't cry or fuss, and chased after the little dragonfish.

……

"Looks like we've caught them alive. I'll head back to the ancestral temple first."

Not long after Shen Can returned to the ancestral temple, Huoshan led his people into the temple carrying a long, snake-like water beast that resembled an eel.

A group of dolls followed behind.

Shen Can changed into an elaborate robe.

The changes in his temple attire reveal the development of the Blazing Flame Tribe.

During a flood, you're lucky if you even have clothes to wear.

Although it's still linen, it's now embroidered with witchcraft. Even though the design is a bit abstract, Shen Can is still very satisfied.

After all, the fact that the aunties could beat the uncles' big hands and pick up a needle to sew out the shamanic patterns for them was already a huge improvement.

"The livestock are plump and meaty, and the offerings are plentiful and abundant."

As Shen Can plunged his knife into the water beast's neck, the beast's blood gushed out.

The two disciples, Huoyun and Huoye, who had arrived from the Witch Temple long ago, waited to collect the beast blood and take it to the Witch Temple to neutralize the malevolent energy within it.

Long ago, the task of neutralizing beast blood was entrusted to the Witch Temple.

Of course, it's mainly the two of them.

Senior Brother Huo Zhong is about to break through to the first-tier blacksmithing wizard level. He has been forging iron these days, preparing to create a first-tier wizarding weapon to present to his master.

The High Priest plundered a second-tier wild beast, the Dragon-Patterned Eel, whose lifespan was 190 years.

【Shouyuan: 1685】

Shen Can placed the cut-up sacrificial meat on the offering table, along with seventeen bronze artifacts.

These bronze artifacts are also wiped clean every day.

Knowing that Shen Can planned to use these bronze artifacts as sacrificial vessels, Huo Xian often lingered in front of the inscriptions on the bronze artifacts.

Although he had this idea, Shen Can was not very familiar with how to guide the remnant spirit. He was still flipping through ancient books, searching for useful words and phrases in the nooks and crannies.

"Come all over."

At this moment, Shen Can called over a group of children gathered outside the ancestral temple to help Grandpa Huo Xian polish the bronzeware.

Not knowing how to guide them, Shen Can felt he could start with children. The great spirit of the ancients could be seen in their pioneering of martial arts and protection of humanity.

The remnant spirit possesses only instinct, and precisely this instinct is the purest.

Dolls are key to the continuation of humankind. Putting everything else aside, just ask yourself, if a bunch of dolls were calling you home, would you go back?
This is a shameless method he came up with.

……

“Our clan is enfeoffed in Gufu Forest, and we hold sacrifices there every year.”

Shen Can was holding a bronze book.

Gu Fu Lin should be a place name, which is the ancestral home of the Xiao Yang tribe.

As afternoon approached, Shen Can sat on a wooden recliner outside the ancestral temple, enjoying the gentle breeze as he flipped through the books in Xiao Yang Wu's bag.

This was the eleventh time he had seen this place name in the ancient records of Xiaoyang, just as the Tuozhu had said.

In fact, judging from the collection of the killed Xiaoyang clan members, it is likely that there were internal conflicts within the Xiaoyang alien race. Otherwise, they would not have taken these things and fled to this remote place to hide.

"Gufu Forest".

I repeated the name several times.

"Ayu, go tell the clan chief that the clansmen who were sent to the market to gather information should stay in Quyang Market for a while and see if they can make contact with the people of Yongyi."

"Also, I used the coded signal I gave them to make contact and issued orders to find the people from Yongyi as soon as possible."

The danger of going to the Xiaoyang Ruins to guide the remnants of the human race is self-evident, and thorough preparations must be made in advance.

The crocodile lord hides in the shadows and will not meet with the Blazing Flame tribe, but they can use coded signals to communicate and exchange information.

……

Seeing Shen Can leisurely lying outside the ancestral temple, Huo Tang, who had just inspected the harvest of grain by his subjects, climbed the steps and arrived at the ancestral temple.

"The clan chief has arrived."

Shen Can did not get up to let Huo Tang sit down.

"I was just about to look for you."

“We need to head south to guide the remnant spirits. South of Qushui is a vast swamp, and the Xiaoyang Clan still exists there. Let’s see if we should start preparing a team to head south now.”

Huotang nodded.

"Let Ah Shan go; he can protect you if you encounter danger."

Shen Can thought Huo Tang was going.

"What use would I be if I went? I'm not capable enough, and I'd only be a burden."

"How many of the witch pills that you had the Witch Temple make are still left?"

"There are still more than 1,200 pills left."

The previous batch of witchcraft medicine was uniformly blended into pills with roughly the same potency, and a total of 1,700 pills were made.

Those at the Opening Mountain Realm take one pill every five to ten days, while those at the Heavenly Vein Realm can take one pill a day or one pill every two days, depending on their situation.

These pills are not included in the meat consumed daily.

It is not yet possible to implement this policy across the entire ethnic group.

"Even the worst Heavenly Vein is stronger than a Mountain Opening Realm martial artist."

Huo Tang pondered for a moment, "I'll go select people and conduct another training camp. In a short time, we'll use this batch of witchcraft medicine to cultivate a few Heavenly Veins to go south with you."

"Starting tomorrow, let Ashan venture deeper into the Great Swamp to see if he can hunt down another Tier 3 water beast."

Intensive training in martial arts is like draining a pond to catch all the fish; not everyone is a volcano, and if you don't consider the costs, even if you advance, things might not be easy later on.

In martial arts, progress is not the most important thing; if you advance recklessly and leave internal injuries, you will suffer more in the future.

Not to mention, many members of the Blazing Flame Tribe had already undergone a training camp once before.

That's manageable, since the gap between a Rock-Splitting Realm and a Mountain-Opening Realm martial artist is relatively small, but now it's equivalent to stimulating the emergence of a Heavenly Vein martial artist.

"Are there any candidates among the subjects?"

Shen Can spoke, revealing that he currently had over 30,000 followers, but only four at the Mountain Opening Realm and a mere 400 at the Stone Splitting Realm—a ratio far too low.

Moreover, with over 30,000 people, even if the tribe can be settled, it's impossible to understand each and every one of them.

Shen Can still leans towards the idea that there are hidden martial artists among these people.

“Find those who have attachments and use incentives to lure their relatives into joining the tribe and receiving training from the tribe.”

After thinking it over, Shen Can felt that since his divine sense was strong and he hadn't yet gone to check on his subjects, he could take the opportunity to get a feel for them.

It's always a good idea to make more preparations before heading south to the territory of the Xiaoyang tribe.

No sooner said than done, the next day Shen Can began inspecting the areas where his subjects gathered.

When he inspected the third gathering point, Qingshan, he found that Huotang had also arrived.

Mount Qing is not high, only about forty feet high, and houses stand at its foot.

It is about a mile from the water.

Not only did the Fire Clan arrive, but the Fire Monkey, who had been relaying messages back and forth from the market, also came.

"Clan leader, what happened?"

The sudden arrival of Huotang made Shen Can suspect that something had happened.

“Ah Hou is from Qushui, let Ah Hou tell you about it.”

Qushui is currently the route south from the Zhiyan area to Yongyi.

“Temple, a huge flying ship has arrived from Yongyi. It’s so big, two or three times bigger than our tribe’s ironwood boats.”

The blue wings on both sides of the boat flapped, blocking out the sun.

"Flew in from the south?"

“I was at Quyang Market at the time.”

"The airship didn't land?"

"No, they are high and mighty."

Fire Monkey thought for a moment, "It's like looking at ants, as if the people below don't exist."

After surveying the area above Quyang Market, it headed east, so I rushed back to report. Now I don't know where the flying boat is.”

"This flying boat must be of a high grade."

At this moment, Huotang felt just like before the flood, when all he wanted was to have enough to eat. Now that he was full, all sorts of problems were piling up.

"I wonder what they're doing here."

"Let's gather more information. As I just said, they're watching ants. Maybe it's just some idle member of a large tribe coming out to watch monkeys?"

After a moment, Shen Can stopped dwelling on the matter.

"Chieftain, Temple, I'll go back and continue gathering information."

"Did you get a reply to the contact code I gave you?" At this moment, Shen Can grabbed Fire Monkey.

"not yet."

The fire monkey didn't linger any longer and quickly headed south.

"Chief, there really are people hiding in the settlement."

As he spoke, Shen Can had A Yu hand Huo Tang a piece of animal hide.

"At the Qianshan gathering point, there was a man named Tian He, who had a family of three with him."

"At this Qingshan gathering point, there is another person named Yao Chong."

"Ah-Can, what did you find?"

"Their auras are fluctuating wildly, and they have hidden injuries. After I've circled all the gathering points, I'll summon them all to the clan's territory and have a good chat with them."

……

In the blink of an eye, a month later.

Due south of Ohnosawa, in a dense forest.

The enormous flying ship flapped its two pairs of blue wings.

In the mountains and forests, figures emerged from a small village and looked up at the sky. Some children ran while gazing at the heavens.

"Haha, Ah Le, look at these ants, some of them are even kneeling down."

On the bow deck, several young men leaned against the stern, looking down.

"The wilderness is teeming with ants, what's so interesting about it? Haven't you had enough of it after traveling for so long?"

Some young people looked indifferent, showing no interest whatsoever.

Some, however, made 'sucking' sounds towards the crowd looking up below.

"puff!"

Some people chewed on bones and spat them directly downwards.

Not satisfied with that, he threw down the remaining bone he was gnawing on.

"Haha, this is something that ants have never seen in their lifetimes. Today, it's like their ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke."

"Uh-huh!"

“I feel that once I return to my clan’s territory, I can raise the Azure Water Golden Essence Turtle.”

……

The summit of a small hill in the distance.

The Xiaoyang tribesman, whose body resembled a black bear, held a vibrant green bamboo shoot in his hand and sneered as he watched the flying boat turn into a black dot.

"They swagger northward from our territory, as if it were eight thousand years ago!"
