Jiang Qiong, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana returned triumphantly with abundant supplies and precious spiritual stones.
The moment they stepped into the tribe, joy was like a surging tide, instantly submerging the entire tribe.
The tribesmen rushed forward, their eyes full of amazement and joy, staring at the spoils they brought back.
The mountains of supplies sparkled attractively in the sun, and the spiritual stones emitting a mysterious aura made sparks of hope flash in everyone's eyes.
The cheers rose one after another, as if they were about to break through the sky, and echoed above the tribe for a long time.
The elders also hurried over, their faces filled with satisfaction and appreciation.
His eyes were full of recognition and praise for Jiang Qiong and others. He nodded continuously and praised them endlessly.
They knew better than anyone that this trip to the market was undoubtedly a timely relief and of great significance to the tribe.
It not only brought much-needed supplies to the tribe and alleviated its urgent needs, but more importantly, it injected strong impetus into the tribe's future development and gave the tribe a broader space for development.
In the days that followed, the tribe made full use of the proceeds from this transaction and launched an all-round improvement campaign.
They purchased a large amount of daily necessities, which significantly improved the living standards of the tribesmen.
The originally dilapidated houses have been repaired and become more solid and comfortable; people's clothes have also been renewed and are no longer as shabby as before.
At the same time, based on the valuable information provided by Jiang Qiong and others, the tribe carefully planned and began to prepare a series of new development plans.
They knew that water was the lifeline of the tribe, so they decided to improve the water supply and find more stable and higher-quality water sources to ensure the safety of the tribe's water.
Defense is the guarantee of tribal security, so strengthening tribal defense has also been put on the agenda, building stronger walls and setting up more stringent defense facilities to resist various possible dangers.
However, Jiang Qiong, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana did not become complacent or satisfied with the status quo because of this success.
Their vision is firm and long-term, and they know that this is just a small beginning. The tribe's future road will be long and arduous, full of unknowns and challenges.
Without hesitation, they continued to devote themselves to the construction of the tribe, fighting side by side with their fellow tribesmen and working together.
The cultivation of shaling fruit is an important industry for the future development of the tribe. They carefully care for each shaling fruit seedling, doing every step personally from watering, fertilizing to pest control, and dare not slack off in the slightest.
In the construction of the tribe, they also actively offer suggestions and contribute their wisdom and strength. They appear wherever there is a need.
They firmly believe that as long as all the tribesmen are united and work together, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome. The tribe will surely be able to bloom more brilliantly in this vast and challenging desert and write its own glorious chapter.
Time flies by like a white horse, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.
During these seemingly peaceful days, a solemn and mysterious atmosphere gradually spread in the tribe, as if a major event was about to happen.
It turned out that the grand sacrifice held once every ten years was about to begin. This was the most sacred and important ceremony of the tribe. It carried the hope and future of the tribe and was related to the future well-being of the tribe.
It is said that as long as one offers sacrifices sincerely, one can move the spirits of the ancestors in heaven, thus blessing the tribe with good weather, abundant water resources, and stopping the sandstorms in the desert, thus bringing peace and prosperity to the tribe.
In order to ensure that the sacrifice can be held smoothly, the entire tribe was mobilized and fell into a busy state.
All kinds of sacrificial items need to be carefully prepared, and there must be no mistakes in every detail.
Among the many offerings, spirit fish is undoubtedly the most critical and important one.
There are clear records in the ancient books of the tribe that only the spiritual fish caught in the mysterious huge lake northwest of the tribe are the best sacrifices to the ancestors and can express the tribe’s respect and piety to their ancestors.
After learning the news, Jiang Qiong, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana volunteered without any hesitation.
They knew the difficulty and importance of this mission, but for the future of the tribe, they were willing to step forward and take on this responsibility. Together with the experienced and skilled monks in the tribe, they set out on a journey to catch spiritual fish in the Spirit Lake.
The group marched arduously through the desert for several days. Along the way, the wind and sand filled the sky, blocking out the sun.
The strong winds carried the yellow sand, like ferocious wild beasts, constantly rushing towards them, as if wanting to devour them.
Fortunately, with the guidance of experienced tribal monks, they relied on their familiarity with the desert environment and keen insight to cleverly avoid dangerous quicksand traps and fierce sandstorm areas.
Every time they successfully avoided danger, everyone felt relieved and it also strengthened their determination to complete the mission.
Finally, on an afternoon when the sun was so hot that it seemed to melt the earth, they saw the legendary spiritual lake in the distance.
When they first saw the Spirit Lake, everyone was deeply shocked by the scene before them. The lake water was a deep blue, like a huge, priceless gem, embedded in this vast desert, emitting a mysterious and charming light.
However, in sharp contrast to the heat of the desert, there were bursts of biting cold coming from the direction of Linghu Lake, as if the cold wind was blowing from the depths of hell.
Even though they were far away, everyone could clearly feel a dense layer of goose bumps on their skin and the chill penetrating into their bones.
As they gradually approached Ling Lake, they discovered that there was a thin layer of mist on the surface of the lake. The mist was not ordinary water vapor, but carried a trace of icy air, as if it was composed of countless tiny ice crystals.
Every time you inhale, you feel as if your internal organs are about to freeze, as if your body is instantly frozen. On the sand and rocks by the lake, there is a thick layer of frost, which glitters coldly under the sunlight, like a world of ice.
An elderly monk from the tribe stepped forward and said solemnly, "The temperature of this lake is extremely low. It is said that this is because there is a powerful cold spirit vein at the bottom of the lake."
"The spiritual fish living in it are also special species. They live in this extremely cold environment all year round. Not only do they have strong cold resistance, but they are also very aggressive. If we are not careful, we will be in danger. Everyone must be vigilant and must not take it lightly."
His voice was deep and powerful, ringing in everyone's ears like a huge bell, making everyone more deeply aware of the danger and difficulty of this mission.
Jiang Qiong looked around and found that the plants by the lake were also extremely peculiar. Their leaves and branches seemed to be wrapped in ice crystals, swaying gently in the breeze, making crisp and pleasant sounds, as if they were playing a mysterious piece of music.
Occasionally, ripples appear on the surface of the lake, as if something is swimming underwater, but it is fleeting and so fast that it is difficult to capture its trace.
All of this made the Spirit Lake seem even more mysterious and full of unknown dangers. After a short rest, everyone began to prepare intensively for fishing for spiritual fish. Based on his previous in-depth research on the formation and the detailed information about the Spirit Lake provided by the tribal monks, Jiang Qiong decided to set up a large-scale fishing formation after careful consideration.
He knew very well that ordinary fishing methods would not work when it came to the spiritual fish in the spiritual lake, and he had to rely on the power of a powerful formation.
He directed everyone to place the special spiritual materials brought from the tribe in specific positions. These spiritual materials were minerals and woods containing powerful spiritual power. After special processing, they could resonate with each other and form a powerful spiritual field.
The placement of each piece of spiritual material is crucial. The slightest deviation may affect the effect of the entire formation.
Nan Fengxue used her ice magic to fully assist Jiang Qiong in stabilizing the flow of spiritual power between the spiritual materials.
She danced with her hands in a graceful posture, and rays of ice-blue light shot out from her hands like sharp arrows, accurately merging into the spiritual material.
Thanks to her efforts, the connection between the spiritual materials became more stable, the flow of spiritual power became smoother, and the power of the formation was further enhanced.
She was concentrating so much that beads of sweat covered her forehead, but she was unaware of it as she was only focused on ensuring that the formation could be set up smoothly.
Lang Nana stood aside, observing her surroundings vigilantly in case the spirit fish suddenly attacked.
She held the magic weapon tightly in her hand, her eyes revealed determination and concentration, and she remained highly vigilant at all times.
She knew very well that in this dangerous environment, any negligence could lead to serious consequences.
Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, not missing any slight movement, providing solid security for everyone.
The monks of the tribe also took action. They had a clear division of labor. Some were responsible for carrying the spiritual materials. Although the spiritual materials were extremely heavy, they had no complaints and persisted.
Some used their own spiritual power to assist in setting up the formation. They continuously injected spiritual power into the formation, providing powerful power for its operation.
With the concerted efforts of everyone, a huge circular formation gradually took shape.
The edge of the formation was engraved with mysterious runes. These runes flickered under the stimulation of spiritual power, as if telling an ancient spell and containing endless power.
Just as the formation was about to be set up, violent ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake, as if an invisible giant hand was stirring the bottom of the lake.
Immediately afterwards, a huge spirit fish broke out of the water. Its appearance was like a sudden storm, instantly breaking the tranquility of the lake.
This spirit fish is more than two people tall. Its body is translucent, and its internal bones and organs are clearly visible. It seems as if it was carved out of ice crystals, emitting a crystal clear light.
Its eyes flashed with a faint green light, like two will-o'-the-wisp flames, revealing a sense of weirdness and ferocity.
The fins and tail of the fish are covered with sharp barbs, which flash coldly in the sun like sharp blades, making people afraid.
The spirit fish let out a sharp cry, and the sound was like a sharp dagger, as if it could penetrate the human soul and make people feel dizzy.
Then, it swung its huge tail and rushed towards the crowd like an arrow. It was so fast that wherever it went, the lake was stirred up with high waves.
Seeing this, Jiang Qiong reacted quickly and shouted, "Everyone stay calm, don't panic! Follow the plan!"
As he spoke, he quickly formed seals with his hands, his movements as skillful as flowing water, and injected a powerful spiritual energy into the formation.
His eyes were firm and calm, and he was not intimidated by the fierce momentum of the spirit fish at all.
The formation was activated instantly, and a dazzling light rose from the formation, like a bright beam of light, shooting straight into the sky.
The light formed a huge spiritual shield that enveloped everyone and provided a solid protective barrier for everyone.
The spirit fish hit the spirit shield, making a dull thud, as if a thunderclap in the sky, making everyone's ears buzz.
The spiritual power shield shook violently, as if it would break at any time, but with everyone's full efforts to maintain it, it stubbornly resisted the attack of the spiritual fish.
The spirit fish seemed to be irritated. It kept hitting the spirit shield. Every impact brought up an icy air, causing the temperature around the spirit shield to drop sharply, as if it had instantly entered the coldest time of winter.
Nan Fengxue took the opportunity to cast ice spells. She condensed countless ice cones, which, under her control, shot towards the spirit fish like a swarm of angry bees.
The ice cones flashed coldly in the sunlight, like sharp arrows, carrying a biting chill, piercing towards the spirit fish fiercely.
The spirit fish twisted its body flexibly. Its movements were quick and agile, like a nimble swallow, avoiding most of the ice cones.
But several ice cones still hit its body. The ice cones pierced into its body and instantly froze the blood and tissue around it.
The spirit fish felt pain and let out a sharper cry. A layer of ice mist appeared around its body, as if it was using its own cold ability to resist the attack of the ice cone.
The icy fog filled the air, making the surrounding environment even more eerie and terrifying.
Lang Nana seized the opportunity and summoned a fire snake. The fire snake whizzed out from her hand, carrying a blazing heat, like a burning flame, and pounced towards the spirit fish.
When the fire snake met the icy fog surrounding the spirit fish, a violent reaction occurred instantly.
The water vapor was rising, making a sizzling sound, as if a fierce battle was going on.
The spirit fish seemed to be afraid of the fire snake. It felt the scorching heat on the fire snake, which was completely different from the extremely cold environment it was adapted to.
It quickly dived into the water and disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only a ripple, as if telling everyone of its existence.
No one dared to let down their guard and continued to maintain the operation of the formation.
They knew very well that this spirit fish was just the beginning. There were many spirit fish in the lake, and they were very likely to unite and launch an attack.
Jiang Qiong paid close attention to the movement of the lake, his eyes fixed on the lake, not missing any slight changes; (End of this chapter)
