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

Chapter 54: The Blood Witch Appears, Curse Techniques
"Not only has Uncle Volcano improved a lot, but Uncle Huoqi's Qi has also increased to the level of forty-seven Desolate Power."

Hearing this, Huotang felt even more at ease.

Shen Can then asked, "How many Heavenly Vein Warriors does the Shanghuang tribe have? Has the clan leader found out during this time?"

"There are three Heavenly Veins in the Upper Yellow Division on the surface, and I guess there are at least that many more in secret."

"Those are the six Heavenly Vein Warriors."

"Our tribe now has about four people."

"Chieftain, if you think about it this way, now that the Shanghuang tribe has found Tiemu, it will save us a lot of trouble in the future, right?"

Huo Tang watched as Shen Can's eyes widened.

"Ah Chan, you really dare to dream!"

Why would he be worried about fighting against the Upper Yellow Division?

Ah-chan then started thinking about rummaging through his belongings to bring them home.

I really can't keep up anymore.

Then, Shen Can handed the animal hide scroll in his hand to Huo Tang.

"Clan leader, this is the situation of the clan's development during the past few months you've been away."

"There are seventeen people in the Mountain Opening Realm, two of whom have raised their Qi to the Thirty Desolate Power."

"Seven hundred and forty-seven people in the Rift Stone Realm."

Huotang took the animal skin scroll and began to read it himself.

"That much?"

Huo Tang looked thoughtful. Even if he was slow to understand, he understood that Shen Can was showing him his family's wealth.

a long time.

"The Shanghuang tribe doesn't even consider our Zhiyan tribe worthy of their attention. Ah Can, what do you think about us striking first and taking out one or two Heavenly Vein cultivators from the Shanghuang tribe?"

Huotang decided to change his mind much faster than expected.

In fact, Shen Can thought so too.

Otherwise, why would he show off his family's wealth to Huotang? It was just to put Huotang at ease.

If everyone rushes in to attack, they're bound to lose; otherwise, he wouldn't have bet on his own tribe to lose.

The best solution is to create some trouble for the upper section and slow down the repair of the ironwood ship.

The best time to act now is before the upper part of the plant takes off.

Otherwise, when the Shanghuang tribe actually sails the ironwood boat into the Great Swamp and keeps hunting third-tier wild beasts, the Zhiyan tribe should just pack up and run west.

Their family possesses incomplete martial arts techniques; what if they could open up another Heavenly Meridian with the help of beast blood?

This is far more powerful than having another Heavenly Vein promoted.

Knowing there will be conflict, wouldn't it be foolish not to take precautions?

At this moment, Volcano, who had been looking down, suddenly raised his head and said, "Brother A-Tang, what you said makes a lot of sense."

"Ah Shan, what I said makes no sense?" Huo Tang asked.

"It just feels like it makes sense."

After listening, Huo Tang sighed. How could he possibly entrust the position of clan leader to this guy in the future?

He then looked at Shen Can and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Fortunately.

May our ancestors bless us.

After his gaze darted back and forth between the volcano and Shen Can several times, his previously somewhat uneasy thoughts suddenly became firm.

"Ah Chan, we're in the shadows, so there's no rush to make a move."

"I'll go to the mining area of ​​Shanghuang to inquire. The young martial artists guarding the mines can reveal a lot of information."

As he spoke, Huotang stood up, patted Huoshan on the shoulder, and turned to say, "Acan, gather all the able-bodied men in the tribe and start eating more meat now, or I'll get diarrhea later."

Huotang acted immediately, resting for only one day before leaving the tribe again.

Once the temple shrine and the clan chief reached a consensus, it became the will of the entire tribe.

The tribe was fully operational.

Shen Can didn't sit idle either, continuing to treat himself to extra food.

The response to the threat of sulfur dioxide was divided into two steps.

What the tribe lacks right now is time; let's first create some obstacles for the Upper Yellow Tribe.

Once Huotang returned from his reconnaissance mission, Shen Can felt he could administer the medicine to the Shanghuang Department, hoping to slow down their repairs of the ironwood boats as long as possible.

If he could give Zhiyan another year, he would be confident that he could double his chances of winning.

……

Upper part of the sulfurous region.

Black Mountain Mine.

Under the cover of night, the black mineral water blends into the darkness.

The fire bonnet was once again wrapped into a black ball and hidden in the pile of ore.

Unlike before, dozens of wooden stakes have been erected inside the rubble pile.

A person was hanging from each log, all of them whipped beyond recognition, and more than half of them had already lost their life.

"I think Huang Ke is nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead. These mine slaves really dared to do this!" Huang Chen said coldly. "We'll continue to arrest and torture people tomorrow. I don't believe these people aren't afraid of death."

Not long after, another voice rang out. "I wonder when the tribe will be able to repair the ironwood boat."

"Once the ironwood boat is repaired, I won't stay here guarding the mine anymore. I'll tell the elders that I'm going to go on the ironwood boat and catch fish, shrimp, and water beasts in the Great Swamp."

"Good heavens, did you guys not see the giant crossbow at the stern? It's said that it takes several Mountain Opening Realm warriors to draw it. How many third-tier wild beasts can avoid such a powerful giant arrow?"

……

Shipwreck Hill.

The fire worm and the fire seedling hid in a small cave in the hills.

One person takes a short rest, while the other keeps watch for safety.

The entrance to the cave was blocked by soil, rocks, and weeds, with only a small hole showing outwards.

It's hard to tell from the outside that there's a cave here.

The two were the only two female warriors at the Rock-Splitting Realm in the clan's scout team, and they were also much smaller in stature compared to other warriors in the clan.

Fire Monkey arranged for the two of them to come here so they could see the shipwreck hills.

After all, the Blazing Inflame Division had been digging for over a month, and if the Upper Sulphur Division came back, they would definitely find new traces.

At that time, the Shanghuang tribe will likely have to search the surrounding mountains and forests.

The two could see most of the area through the small hole that had been left open.

Of course, it needs to be daytime to see it clearly.

At night, when darkness falls, the Fire Rabbits mainly guard against possible wild beasts that could pose a danger to them.

We can't light a campfire either; it'll be too conspicuous in the darkness. That's what Zubo Huohou instructed us to do before he arrived.

Bored, Huo Tu groped in the dark, weaving straw ropes and chewing on dried meat, while Huo Yang slept beside him.

As night fell, a faint red light shone among the hills.

Huo Tu weaves a straw rope for a while, then closes her eyes and dozes off. She inadvertently peeks through a small hole.

He immediately opened his mouth wide, then quickly raised his hand to cover it.

With his other hand, he quickly shook the fire seedlings beside him.

Huo Yang felt a hand groping her body. Just as she was about to speak, she found the hand covering her mouth, and she heard Huo Tu's hushed voice in her ear.

"Ayang, don't speak loudly, look outside."

Through the small hole, Huoyang saw a faint reddish light appear, very blurry, and soon torches lit up again.

It kept moving, and at times it would stop in certain places and flash with blood.

Her eyes widened, and her breathing became rapid.

The two men huddled together, each covering their own mouths.

There really are people coming.

……

Shen Can received the news two days later, and he subconsciously assumed that the Upper Yellow Department had noticed it.

But the red light in the dark night and the flickering torches didn't seem like something the Upper Yellow Department would do.

Arriving at the sunken hill, I squatted down outside the pit and examined it carefully.

The pits that had been dug earlier were already overgrown with weeds, but the weeds in front of us looked as if they had been corroded, and the surrounding soil was scorched black with a hint of blood red.

It also has a slightly fishy smell.

"witchcraft."

With just one glance, Shen Can determined that this was witchcraft.

Is it a coincidence that a wizard has come by?
"Take two intact piles of soil back with you."

……

"This is blood magic."

Inside the cave where they were being held, Fu looked at the soil that Shen Can had brought back, her expression shifting from astonishment to excitement.

"How did your little tribe get involved with these underhanded things?"

What is blood witchcraft?

Shen Can frowned.

"Some people can't learn witchcraft, so they have to find another way."

"Actually, they're similar to me. They need the blood of exotic wild beasts to maintain their magical power, and they especially love those wild beasts that spread plagues and natural disasters."

"But this is not the right way; it will be cursed."

"I'm curious how you got involved with the Blood Witches. When they go crazy, they're no different from bloodthirsty beasts."

The excitement on Lu Fu's face grew even stronger.

"They can cast spells. Let me go, and maybe your tribe will survive. Otherwise, just wait for your people to be cursed to death one by one."

"The curse they cast will not be easy to break."

"Your death will be horribly gruesome."

"Snapped!"

"Ouch...didn't we agree not to slap each other in the face last time!"
