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

Chapter 35 Speculation about the Heavenly Vein Realm! (Please continue reading)
Tier 3 wild beasts are not easy for a small tribe like Blazing Flame to obtain.

According to clan records, the third-tier beast blood used for Huotang's advancement was obtained by the previous clan chief before his death, who had fought with all his might to hunt it.

Four warriors at the Mountain Opening Realm died, more than a dozen warriors at the Stone Splitting Realm died, and dozens were injured.

If they don't have the magic potion to paralyze the strange fish, they'll have to use the old method to drag it up.

The strange fish struggled, and whether it died or was injured depended on the luck of its people.

The strange fish is struggling, but the movements are very small, keeping everyone in a safe range.

"Ah Chan, what are your thoughts?"

Huotang approached Shen Can.

Previously, he and Shen Can had discussed hunting a second-tier wild beast as a sacrifice to their ancestors, which would serve as a catalyst for the tribe's reform.

Unexpectedly, I was lucky enough to discover a level 3 monster fish.

Second-tier wild beasts might excite everyone, but third-tier wild beasts will boost the morale of the entire tribe.

Huotang planned to bring the strange fish to the brink of death, drain its blood, and weaken it until it was just barely alive, so that he could drag it back to the tribe.

But Shen Can felt that since they were going to use them, they should use them all.

Being captured alive when they were on the verge of death only boosted the morale of the tribe.

They can be captured and raised, then drugged and rendered unconscious on the day of the ancestral worship ceremony.

We have medicine, what are we afraid of?

Moreover, currently, only Uncle Volcano in the clan has the potential to advance to the Heavenly Vein Realm.

However, this is just Huo Tang's speculation. Shen Can doesn't know how big the gap is between the Volcano Realm and the Heavenly Vein Realm.

Obtaining Tier 3 beast blood is not easy. For example, it requires a month of intensive training for several senior Mountain Opening Realm warriors from Volcano and Huokui to maximize their strength before soaking them in beast blood.

At the very least, it can increase the success rate.

The tribespeople watched the two whisper to each other for a long time before Huotang grabbed two jars of anesthetic and walked toward the strange fish.

He poured two more jars of anesthetic into the strange fish, then ordered, "A-Kui, go back immediately and tell the tribe to dig a large pit to raise fish."

"fish culture?"

Huo Kui's gaze fell on the strange fish, his eyes widening in surprise.

The other tribesmen who heard Huotang's words had the same expression.

Is the clan leader referring to this third-tier monster fish?
Although the tribe had tried raising wild beasts over the years, they had never thought of raising third-tier wild beasts.

too suddenly.

This is a level three monster fish.

"Go quickly."

"Oh!" Realizing what was happening, Huo Kui quickly ran towards the direction of the tribe.

"Get out of the way, all of you. Do you want to wait for the monster fish to recover and bite you?"

Seeing that his clansmen were still gathered nearby, Huotang shouted, "Those who have nothing to do, go and catch the baby fish."

Apart from the fish that were flung out by the strange fish, the rest of the fry in the pool also floated up.

There were seventeen baby fish in total. They were caught but not bled, mainly because Shen Can felt that they were still under the influence of the anesthetic, and bleeding them now would probably leave some of the anesthetic effect, which would be detrimental to the clansmen's cultivation.

Of the ninety jars of the witchcraft anesthetic powder, thirty-seven jars remain.

In order to send the strange fish back to the tribe, the tribesmen felled a large tree and made a huge wooden frame to bind the strange fish to.

The Kaishan tribesmen carried the frame, and Huotang personally held the ironwood spear, standing at the head of the fish, keeping both hands firmly on the spear against the fish's skull.

Whenever the strange fish shows any unusual behavior, it will be sent back home in advance.

On the way back to the tribe, they would pour anesthetic into the fish's gills three times a day, three jars each time.

The people on the road worked day and night, heading back to their tribe with their heads down.

……

Three days later, at the Blazing Flame Division.

It's approaching evening.

The campfire has been lit.

Shen Can returned a step ahead of time and stood on the city wall, gazing into the distance.

The surrounding tribesmen gathered, all excited, craning their necks and standing on tiptoe to look into the distance.

A living, level-three monster fish!

When Huo Kui returned first to report the news, the entire tribe knew about it.

The temple prepared a new witch potion, which paralyzed a level three monster fish.

For tribes without a tradition of witchcraft, the shaman is incredibly mysterious in everyone's eyes.

First came the witch talisman, and now even third-tier wild beasts can be drugged and paralyzed. Shen Can has become increasingly mysterious and awe-inspiring in the eyes of the crowd.

"coming!"

Someone on the city wall shouted.

In the distance, a group of people are carrying a wooden frame.

There are fish on the shelf.

The fish is served on a fire stand.

Huotang transformed into a fish rider.

"Ow..."

Howls rose from the city walls, and many tribesmen rushed down the walls and headed out of the city.

Thankfully, I was still thinking straight and didn't jump off the city wall.

As the group rushed out of the city, before they even got close to the strange fish, a strong aura of malevolence surged towards them.

The pressure forced the tribesmen to retreat repeatedly, but their excitement was still palpable, and they wanted to get closer to take another look.

For safety reasons, Huotang had to repeatedly reprimand him.

But the tribesmen's eyes seemed glued to the strange fish, unable to look away.

Capturing a Tier 3 monster fish alive means the tribe has found a way to capture Tier 3 wild beasts.

This also signifies that the path of martial arts has the potential to expand.

Everything is a symbol of the tribe's strength; only when the tribe is strong can they survive better.

The warriors who remained in the clan, including those from Huoshan, rushed forward, took the wooden frame and carrying pole, and walked back to the clan while laughing.

"witch!"

"Ah Chan!"

Suddenly, a member of the tribe pointed at Shen Can on the city wall, and a group of people shouted.

"Clan shaman!"

"Temple!" "Blazing flames!"

……

Various names suddenly appeared, and some clansmen rushed up the city wall, picked up Shen Can, and ran back into the clan.

"Give it to me, I'll carry it."

Those tribesmen who couldn't get a chance to carry the strange fish started scrambling to carry Shen Can.

Shen Can couldn't get one either, so he picked up the tribal doll instead.

They escorted the strange fish into the tribe and released it into a deep pond that had been cleared.

That wasn't the end of it. Everyone carried Shen Can and the child, and circled the pond from a distance.

"The fact that we were able to hunt this level 3 monster fish so easily, and bring it back alive without hurting a single member of our tribe, is all thanks to our tribe's shaman."

Huotang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the strange fish enter the water.

Seeing his people gathered together in great excitement, he said, "Tonight, let's eat our fill and celebrate our shaman for capturing the first live Tier 3 wild beast for the tribe."

“Um… let’s put the shaman down first, he’s frail.”

……

That night.

The bonfire of the Blazing Flame Tribe blazed brightly, as if it were dawn.

The grills, filled with fish and meat, sizzled as oil dripped from the flames, creating a crackling sound and filling the air with a rich aroma.

"Come on, let me pinch it."

Around the campfire, the screams of children running and screaming filled the air.

Shen Can was also surrounded by people.

"Come quickly and let the temple priest touch your head."

"one by one."

The tribe does produce alcohol, but it tastes somewhat bitter and is produced in small quantities.

Shen Can smiled and had the children line up in front of him, then patted each one on the head.

The happy time was short-lived. The woman, having eaten and drunk her fill, left with her baby, leaving behind a group of people howling and wailing around the campfire.

Some even gathered around the campfire to wrestle, drawing cheers from the crowd.

“I will set off tonight to bring back the witch medicine.”

Before the campfire, Huotang leaned close to Shen Can and spoke.

To keep the Tier 3 monster fish docile, you need enough anesthetic.

When he returned this time, there wasn't much anesthetic left. In order to ensure that the strange fish would behave themselves during the ancestral worship ceremony, Huotang planned to go out and raid some tribes.

Why did he go?

He's fast.

Volcano and others need to train with Shen Can.

……

In the blink of an eye.

More than a month has passed.

Inside the ancestral temple.

The three members of the Huo clan—Huo Kui, Huo Qi, and Huo Huo—exuded a strong aura.

After Shen Can's special care, Huoshan and Huokui were able to draw the old bow that Huotang used before he advanced to the Heavenly Vein.

Huoqi is somewhat lacking.

"Ah Chan, when are we going to perform the ancestral sacrifice and collect blood?"

The volcano spoke first, its gaze somewhat eager.

"We've already discussed it with the clan chief; the ancestral worship ceremony will be held in three days."

"However, I hope Uncle Volcano will give up this blood-soaking ritual."

Shen Can spoke.

The wooden bow used before reaching the Fire God Heavenly Vein Realm could be drawn long before the volcano training camp.

This is also why Huotang believes that volcanoes have the potential to advance to the Heavenly Vein level.

However, after a month of devouring second-tier wild beasts regardless of cost, Uncle Volcano's energy has increased significantly again.

Therefore, Shen Can guessed that there was actually a range between opening a mountain and advancing to the Heavenly Vein.

The previous volcanic energy was very likely the lower limit of the body's ability to generate blood and qi.

The successive patriarchs of the Blazing Flame Clan have all adhered to this minimum breakthrough, and after advancing to the Heavenly Vein realm, they have made no further progress.

Shen Can felt that he could choose now that he didn't have a choice before.

……

Three days later, early in the morning.

The volcano led people to throw anesthetic into the pond.

"It's falling over!"

The enormous fish body tilted to one side on the water's surface. Volcano laughed loudly and called to his tribesmen to get on the ropes.

Woohoo!

Outside the ancestral temple, horns sounded, rousing everyone in the tribe.

It's salty from the fire.

No one knows where Huo Xian found a bull horn, but he blew it as the sun rose.

Today, Shen Can wore a dark blue linen coat and a string of animal teeth around his neck, which jingled as he walked.

A chant rang out from the foot of the mountain; the volcano had already lifted the strange fish onto a wooden frame.

Over the past month, wide stone steps and a small stone platform plaza have been carved out of the mountain between the lower clan city and the ancestral temple.

Huotang also came to the stone platform.

Shen Can looked at the third-tier monster fish being carried up below, and waited for the monster fish's lifespan to be cooked.

"Can you pierce the fish's neck? Do you need help?"

"No need. As a sorcerer, I not only know how to administer drugs, but I also have some knowledge of martial arts and weapons."

Huotang didn't speak, but glanced at Shen Can's small frame and then at the third-tier monster fish.

"..."
