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

Chapter 33 Third-Tier Wild Beast, Anesthetic Powder (PK, please continue reading)
Shen Can's excitement was immediately extinguished by the fire.

Whether you can go out depends on the situation.

Within a radius of a thousand miles, there is only one tribe, and wild beasts are rarely seen.

Without wild beasts, who will use the neutralizing witch medicine? Are we going to take so many people out to eat rocks?

Moreover, Huotang felt that the swamp he discovered contained at most one second-tier wild beast, and that the valley was only slightly larger in size, making it difficult to drain the water.

He had been away for too long, so he came back to check on things, planning to bring tools to drain the marshland and capture the wild beasts.

The simplest, yet most practical, way to deal with wild beasts in the water is to drain the marshes.

Once aquatic beasts leave the water, their fighting strength is reduced by 70-80%, making them easier to hunt than mountain beasts if the method is appropriate.

"Chief, how big is the water in that valley?"

"The valley is long and narrow, about twenty or thirty miles in circumference."

Huotang carefully described what he had observed.

"There are fruit trees on the cliffs on both sides of the valley, mostly peach trees. I also saw some five-finger handprints on the rock face, which should have been inhabited by monkeys and wild animals before the flood."

"But it's gone now. I searched the valley and didn't see a single monkey or wild beast, nor were there any rotten bones floating on the water in the valley."

The water is very clear, so it's unlikely that any plague insects have hatched there.

Monkeys, as wild animals, have habits similar to humans; they can climb rocks to live in and can also hide when faced with floods.

Therefore, I deduce that when the flood broke out, a water-dwelling beast entered the valley and preyed on the monkey-like beasts that lived there.

"If the water surface weren't so vast, and if I didn't have no idea if there were hidden pits in the valley, I would have captured him long ago."

After hearing Huotang's description, Shen Can was somewhat disappointed.

It's really not worth making a big fuss over a single second-tier wild beast.

Huotang returned for a quick look, then led Huoshan and the others, packed their tools, and headed to the valley where the water swamp was located the next day.

Shen Can, meanwhile, continued to serve as the head instructor for his hundreds of martial arts practitioners, aiming to reduce the number of people to below three hundred.

The grain stored by the surrounding tribes was used as cultivation resources. According to the elder Huo Yu's statistics, if they ate it without limit, it would only last for more than a year.

At that time, the two thousand members of the clan alone would not be able to support the three hundred warriors who would be working full-time.

Therefore, cultivating internal strength and venturing to more distant places to expand hunting became the next direction for the tribe's development.

……

half a month later.

noon.

Shen Can, who was supervising the training from a high vantage point in the training ground, saw Volcano and his group returning from the east side of the tribe.

"There is a strange fish with legs on its belly and third-order mystic patterns in that swamp."

"The chieftain told me to come back and call for people to hunt."

The reason why weak tribes can survive despite the powerful wild beasts is because they have the ability to cooperate and use tools.

When hunting wild beasts, they always cooperate with each other. Even when facing a third-tier wild beast, as long as they are properly prepared, there is a chance of success.

This is why tribes composed of scattered people can produce martial artists at the Heavenly Vein Realm.

However, advancing further in the Heavenly Vein Realm has become an insurmountable hurdle for the small tribe.

Inside the clan storehouse, after moving aside the outer items, something hidden underneath, wrapped in animal hides, was revealed.

The volcano returned from this trip to retrieve this item.

Shen Can used his mental senses to discover that what was wrapped inside the animal hide was actually a crudely made ironwood spear.

He immediately realized that Huotang had furtively moved the storage hole behind the ancestral temple, apparently to carve the ironwood boat fragments he had found into wooden spears.

There are only nine of them.

Just as the volcano was about to leave, it found itself blocked at the entrance of the clan's storehouse by Shen Can.

……

after one day.

Volcano looked like he wanted to stop them but it was no use, watching as a group of three hundred people left the tribe.

He was left behind to look after the tribe.

Shen Can was in the middle of the group.

Yes, he's on the back of the firefish.

It wasn't that he didn't want to walk; everyone assumed he was physically weak and couldn't keep up with the group on his own.

If he's willing, everyone is willing to take turns carrying him.

Volcano was not staying in the tribe willingly, but this time Shen Can was not simply driven by ambition and wanted to run away.

According to reliable information from the volcano, there is a hidden world within the swamp, with a deep pool in the middle of the valley.

This was only discovered after the water in the valley was drained.

During the process of draining the water, a strange fish with legs was discovered.

And it wasn't just one, but a Tier 3 fish plus a group of baby fish.

Although they are small fish, they are about the same size as an adult.

It is speculated that this third-tier monster fish likely took advantage of the flood, swimming upstream from the Eastern Great Swamp specifically to give birth. The secluded pool in the valley also proves that the monster fish did not choose this location randomly.

This was a place deliberately chosen for its water, to ensure a place to live for decades or even centuries, while waiting for the next flash flood.

The strange fish chose a good spot, but it would be difficult for the tribe to hunt it. The depths of the pool were unknown, and they wanted to go down and catch it...

Let's forget it; it's not easy for Huotang to survive either.

In addition to bringing people, Shen Can also brought Wufei Ma San, a medicine made from eight kinds of witchcraft ingredients, including aconite, arisaema, and toad venom.

As for why he was given anesthetic, well... he still had some lifespan left and saved it for an urgent situation.

This anesthetic formula is based on the tribe's existing herbal combinations and is not the most optimal formula.

Therefore, the tribesmen on this trip carried many animal skin bags, all filled with medicinal herbs.

If the medication is not effective enough, then increase the dosage.

Because of this witchcraft formula, Huoshan, as the tribe's most authoritative and only shaman, had no choice but to reluctantly stay behind in the tribe.

After Shen Can's intensive training, many of his clansmen are close to becoming Stone-Splitting Warriors.

As for how much meat was wasted for this group of people, that's another question.

Martial arts training, as the foundation of a tribe, cannot be measured by cost.

This time, he went specifically to find the strange fish.

We arrived at the Watery Valley.

Huotang and his men not only dug a waterway at the mouth of the valley, but also dug several large caves on both sides of the valley, releasing water at a rate even greater than a flood discharge.

The valley has long since lost its water features, leaving only a deep pool.

When Shen Can arrived, Huo Tang was leading his men to throw stones into the pool from a high vantage point.

"I had vines lowered down, but there's no bottom even after a hundred feet, and we'll still be attacked by strange fish."

"Chief, there's too much water."

Looking at the pool of water overflowing from it, Shen Can felt that he hadn't brought enough anesthetic.

Throwing it in now will only add some flavor.

He glanced at his busy tribesmen and thought, "That's why humans are so resilient."

No matter how frequent the disasters and how harsh the environment are in the Great Wilderness, people are trying their best to do things instead of begging for mercy from heaven and earth.

The strange fish trapped in the pool never expected to be treated like this.

With the addition of the three hundred clansmen brought by Shen Can, the number of clansmen gathered here approached four hundred, and the stone-throwing team expanded several times over.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

On the mountain peaks on both sides of the valley, the tribesmen threw stones.

There is a hidden danger in doing this: if there is a hidden channel deep underwater, the strange fish may leave, and you will end up getting nothing.

But digging down is different from building up. Not long after the flood, the groundwater was plentiful, and water would gush out after digging only a few feet deep.

Although he had figured out the problem, Shen Can never thought of jumping into the pool to demonstrate his witchcraft.

He understood the basic principle that a first-tier wizard couldn't defeat a third-tier beast.

His current witchcraft is good for surprise attacks, but he can't be a main force.

Wow!

Amidst a shower of falling pebbles, several stones suddenly rebounded from the water and crashed against the rock walls on both sides.

"I couldn't resist coming out."

"continue!"

Huotang instructed his people to increase the quantity of water. He then took a specially made large bow and moved closer to the edge of the pool.

Pieces of rock fell, and more rocks flew out of the water, many colliding in mid-air.

But with hundreds of people on high ground looking down without any sense of martial ethics, no matter how much the strange fish thrashed its tail, more stones still fell into the water.

The water in the pool kept overflowing and flowing away along the channel.

"Gudu!"

Amidst the splashing water, a sound like a bird's call rang out, and a dark figure leaped out of the water.

call out!
In an instant, Huotang, who was outside the pool, made his move.

His arrows were specially made, with very thin but extremely strong animal sinew at the tip.

After the arrow left the bowstring, it pierced the dark figure's skull with lightning speed.

Then Huotang grabbed the animal sinew rope and pulled wildly in the opposite direction, forcefully dragging the dark figure out of the pool.

Seeing the strange fish that Huotang had caught, Shen Can called out to everyone, "Collect the beast blood carefully, don't waste it."

Previously, the blood of wild beasts that did not reach a certain rank would not be used for soaking.

However, Shen Can felt that having cultivated the superior Kui Niu Fist for so long, his absorption efficiency was better, which might be able to offset the impact of the decline in the quality of the beast blood.

He brought people along just to give it a try.
