While thinking about how to optimize the formation and improve fishing efficiency.

He knew very well that in this battle with the spirit fish, only by constantly improving strategies could he achieve ultimate victory.

Sure enough, not long after, ripples appeared on the lake again, and this time, dozens of spirit fish appeared.

They formed a semicircle on the lake and slowly approached the crowd.

These spirit fish are of different sizes, but they all exude a powerful aura. There is a fierce light flashing in their eyes, and it is obvious that they come prepared.

They cooperate with each other and act in an orderly manner, as if they were a well-trained army.

Jiang Qiong took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "Everyone listen carefully, we must concentrate our strength to lead these spirit fish into the core area of ​​the formation first, and then launch the attack. Nan Fengxue, you should pay attention to controlling the range of ice spells and try to trap the spirit fish in the formation. Lang Nana, be ready to support at any time."

Everyone nodded, their eyes revealing firmness and determination, and each of them was ready for battle.

They knew very well that the coming battle would be more intense and more difficult, but for the sake of the tribe's sacrifice and the tribe's future, they had to go all out.

As the spirit fish gradually approached, Jiang Qiong injected spiritual power into it again. He increased the output of spiritual power, making the light of the formation even more dazzling.

The spirit fish seemed to be attracted by the light of the formation. With greed flashing in their eyes, they sped up and rushed towards the formation.

When they entered the effective range of the formation, Jiang Qiong quickly changed the way the formation operated. Relying on his deep understanding and superb control of the formation, he made the runes in the formation begin to rotate rapidly.

The rotation of the runes generated a powerful suction force, like a huge whirlpool, pulling the spirit fish towards the core area of ​​the formation.

The spirit fish sensed the danger and tried to break free, but the suction became stronger and stronger. Their bodies seemed to be tightly bound by an invisible force and their movements became slow.

Upon seeing this, Nan Fengxue immediately cast an ice spell. She exerted the power of the ice spell to the extreme and formed a thick layer of ice around the spirit fish.

The ice spread rapidly, freezing parts of the spirit fish's bodies and further restricting their movements.

The spirit fish struggled in the ice. They twisted their bodies hard, trying to break the ice, but the ice was extremely hard and their struggles seemed futile.

Lang Nana was not to be outdone. She summoned several fire snakes, which shuttled through the school of spirit fish like burning blades, causing considerable damage to the spirit fish.

Wherever the fire snake went, the spirit fish cried out in pain, their bodies were burned by the flames, and bursts of green smoke rose up.

Under the combined attack of everyone, the spirit fish fell into chaos. Their originally orderly formation was disrupted, and they collided with each other, letting out bursts of screams.

Jiang Qiong seized the opportunity and increased the power of the formation to its maximum. He poured all his spiritual power into the formation.

A powerful spiritual energy wave emanated from the formation, like a surging wave, directly knocking out several spirit fish.

The monks of the tribe took the opportunity to catch these spiritual fish with special fishing nets and put them into the spiritual fish baskets prepared in advance.

These spirit fish baskets have been specially treated and contain gentle spiritual power that can sustain the lives of the spirit fish and ensure that they will not die during transportation.

However, the battle did not end there. The spirit fish in the lake seemed to be enraged, and more spirit fish came from all directions. They were like a tide, and their number was so large that everyone felt a huge pressure.

Jiang Qiong realized that the battle must be ended as soon as possible, otherwise everyone's spiritual power would be consumed too much and they would be in danger.

He was extremely anxious, but he tried to stay calm, his brain working rapidly, thinking of a way to deal with the situation.

He concentrated his mind and recalled some ancient formation knowledge he had gained in the ruins.

Suddenly, he had an idea and a bold idea flashed through his mind, and he decided to improve the existing formation.

He quickly adjusted the position of the spiritual materials, rearranged them, and changed the arrangement order of the runes in the formation.

At the same time, he exerted his spiritual power to the extreme and injected it into the formation regardless of the consequences.

His face turned pale and his clothes were soaked with sweat, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

The improved formation exudes powerful power. It is no longer just a defense and fishing formation, but has become a formation with powerful offensive capabilities.

Rays of light shot out from the formation, like lasers, accurately hitting the spirit fish.

Wherever the light reached, the spirit fish instantly lost the ability to move, as if they were fixed by a spell, and sank to the bottom of the lake.

These lights contain powerful spiritual power, which can instantly destroy the defenses of spirit fish and cause fatal damage to them.

Under the powerful attack of the formation, the offensive of the spirit fish gradually weakened. They began to flee in all directions, no longer united and organized like before to launch attacks.

Jiang Qiong and others took the opportunity to expand their victory and continued to catch the injured and escaped spirit fish.

They cooperated well in the battle, supported each other and did not miss any opportunity.

After an arduous battle, they finally caught enough spirit fish and completed this difficult fishing mission.

Carrying the captured spiritual fish, everyone set out on the journey back to the tribe, tired but excited.

Their faces were filled with the joy of victory, but their bodies were exhausted.

The experience of catching spiritual fish in Ling Lake made them deeply realize the difficulty of the tribe's survival and strengthened their determination to contribute to the development of the tribe.

They know very well that in this desert full of unknowns and dangers, only continuous efforts and struggles can lead the tribe to a better future.

When they returned to the tribe, they handed the spirit fish to the elders. The elders looked at these fresh spirit fish and smiled with satisfaction on their faces.

The tribe’s sacrificial ceremony is about to be held as scheduled, and everyone is looking forward to bringing new hope and well-being to the tribe through this sacrifice.

In the following days, the tribe was busy. People carefully prepared the details of the sacrificial ceremony, from the layout of the sacrificial site to the arrangement of the sacrificial process. Every link was discussed and confirmed repeatedly. Jiang Qiong, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana were also busy. Together with the monks of the tribe, they continued to make suggestions for the development of the tribe.

Finally, as everyone was eagerly waiting, the day of sacrifice arrived.

The first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone on the tribe, dispelling the chill of the night, but failed to dispel the heavy and solemn atmosphere in the air.

The sacrificial square in the center of the tribe had long been cleaned spotlessly. The ground was covered with white fine sand collected from the depths of the desert, sparkling with tiny rays of light under the sunlight, like a tranquil silver ocean.

Tall totem poles rise from the ground around the square, with carvings of legendary deeds of the tribal ancestors’ heroic struggles on the poles. Every line seems to be telling an ancient story, and the traces of time add a bit of mystery and solemnity to them.

In front of the square, a high altar was built. It was made of huge black rocks, and the surface of the rocks was polished smooth like a mirror, reflecting the sunlight, making it look more solemn and majestic.

On the altar were placed various exquisite sacrificial items, including ancestor statues carved from precious wood, with faces that were kind and majestic, as if overlooking the entire tribe;

There are also gorgeous flags woven with colorful silk threads, fluttering gently in the breeze, making rustling sounds, as if whispering to the gods of heaven and earth.

In the center of the altar, in a huge jade container, was placed the spiritual fish that Jiang Qiong and others had caught after going through many hardships.

The spirit fish swim gently in the container. Their translucent bodies emit a faint blue light under the sunlight, which complements the surrounding sacrificial atmosphere, as if telling their ancestors about the fearlessness and tenacity of the tribal warriors.

As the sun gradually rose higher, the tribesmen dressed in their best clothes slowly gathered at the sacrificial square from all directions.

Their costumes are distinctive, but all are embroidered with unique patterns that symbolize the glory of the tribe. The bright colors interweave into a gorgeous ocean under the sun.

The old people held walking sticks, their expressions solemn, their eyes full of awe for their ancestors and anticipation for the sacrificial ceremony;
The young warriors stood tall and walked vigorously, their faces filled with pride and determination, showing the hope for the tribe's future;
The children followed their elders with curiosity in their eyes. Although they might not fully understand the significance of the sacrificial ceremony, they were deeply moved by the solemn and warm atmosphere and quietly followed the order.

When all the tribesmen had gathered, the elders of the tribe, dressed in black robes and wearing crowns inlaid with jewels, slowly walked up to the altar.

Their faces are weathered and resolute, and their eyes reveal their deep concern for the fate of the tribe and their infinite devotion to their ancestors.

The chief elder was holding an ancient book in his hand. It was a sacrificial manual that had been passed down in the tribe for a long time, and it recorded every step of the sacrifice and every detail of the ceremony.

He slowly opened the book, cleared his throat, and began to read the sacrificial blessing in a low and powerful voice.

The content of the blessing is a review and summary of the tribe's past year, which includes the joy of harvest, the tenacity in the face of difficulties, and the gratitude for the protection of the ancestors.

The voice of the great elder echoed over the square. Every word seemed to carry an invisible power, deeply touching the hearts of every member of the tribe.

While the great elder was reading the blessing, Jiang Qiong, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana stood on one side of the altar, looking focused and solemn.

They knew very well that this sacrifice was not only a way to honor their ancestors, but also an important opportunity for the tribe to gather strength and look to the future.

Jiang Qiong's eyes were fixed on the ancestral statue on the altar, and he prayed silently in his heart that the ancestors would protect the tribe, grant them wisdom and strength, and allow the tribe to continue to prosper in this difficult desert.

Nan Fengxue closed her eyes slightly, feeling the mysterious aura around her. She merged her own ice spiritual power with this aura, trying to use the power of nature to add a sacred atmosphere to the sacrifice.

Lang Nana watched her surroundings vigilantly, making sure that every step of the sacrificial ceremony could proceed smoothly and not miss any possible unexpected situations.

After the blessing was read, the great elder gently placed the book in his hand on the altar, and then picked up a copper incense burner filled with spices.

He shook the incense burner gently, and suddenly, wisps of green smoke rose up, exuding a light and mysterious fragrance.

The fragrance quickly spread throughout the entire sacrificial square, as if carrying a power to purify the soul, immersing every member of the tribe in a peaceful and pious atmosphere.

The chief elder held an incense burner in his hand and walked slowly around the altar, muttering something to pay his most sincere respects to the ancestors.

With every step he took, the elders behind him followed in turn. Their movements were in unison, as if they were a closely coordinated whole, performing this sacred ceremony together.

Afterwards, the sacrificial ceremony entered the most critical part - sacrificing the spirit fish.

The elder came to the jade container that held the spirit fish, put his hands together, and prayed silently for a moment. His expression was extremely focused, his forehead slightly wrinkled, as if he was having a silent conversation with his ancestors.

Then, he carefully took the spirit fish out of the container. The spirit fish gently swayed its tail in his hand, and the faint blue light illuminated the weathered face of the great elder.

The great elder held the spirit fish high up and faced the east. At this moment, the sunlight was shining directly on the spirit fish. The faint blue light on the spirit fish became more and more dazzling, as if it merged with the light of the sun, making people's eyes hurt.

The great elder chanted an ancient spell. The pronunciation of the spell was obscure and difficult to understand, but it seemed to carry a power that penetrated time and space, circling and echoing over the square.

As the spell was recited, the air around seemed to tremble, and the originally gentle breeze became rapid, blowing people's clothes rustling.

The great elder slowly placed the spirit fish into a brazier in the center of the altar.

A raging fire had already been lit in the brazier. The flame was a strange blue-green color. It was ignited by a spiritual wood unique to the tribe. It was said that this spiritual wood could communicate between the yin and yang worlds.

The flames instantly engulfed the spirit fish, making a slight crackling sound, as if the spirit fish was telling its final words to its ancestors.

At the same time, a strange light rose from the brazier. The light was not of a single color, but was interwoven with a variety of colors, including dark blue, golden, and emerald green. The light went straight into the sky, as if the soul of the spirit fish was carrying the tribe's prayers, struggling to fly to the world of ancestors.

At the moment the spirit fish was sacrificed, the entire tribe fell into silence.

Everyone held their breath and stared at the light, their eyes filled with awe and anticipation.

Jiang Qiong and others were also deeply shocked by this sacred scene, and a strong sense of mission surged in their hearts.

Jiang Qiong clenched his hands unconsciously. He knew very well that the future of the tribe not only depended on the blessing of the ancestors, but also required the efforts and contributions of each and every one of them.

In this challenging desert, they must constantly strengthen themselves to protect the tribe's homeland. Nan Fengxue's eyes flashed with determination. She felt that the ice elements around her became unusually active, as if they were cheering for this sacrifice. (End of this chapter)
