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

Chapter 6: It's truly good when everyone is doing well (Please continue reading)

Five thousand miles east of the Blazing Flame Tribe lies a great marsh called the Great Wild Marsh, inhabited by a strange fish with one head and ten bodies, whose voice sounds like a dog's bark.

The strange fish in the Great Swamp appeared outside the village. It is clear that the flood affected the Great Swamp, which allowed the strange fish to swim upstream.

Upon hearing that it was a second-tier monster fish, the tribespeople in the various caves breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since the remains of the dead were found floating in the flood, everyone in the tribe except for the children has been feeling uneasy, fearing that a terrifying wild beast might suddenly appear.

The disasters in the Great Wilderness are completely unpredictable; no one knows when they will suddenly appear.

The fear of the unknown is inherent, and when coupled with one's own lack of strength, it becomes even more terrifying.

Shen Can is the same.

There's only one reason for overthinking: a lack of confidence.

I'm really afraid that a third-tier wild beast will come and not give him time to develop.

Soon the tribe was bustling with activity as members of the tribe took out pieces of animal meat and delivered them to the tribesmen at the Mountain Opening Realm on the shore.

A second-tier monster fish is the best gift that the continuous heavy rain has given to the Blazing Flame Tribe.

Second-tier beast blood is an essential resource for advancing to the second-tier Mountain Opening Realm, and the clan has not produced a new Mountain Opening Realm warrior for several years.

Upon discovering the strange fish, Huotang immediately ordered his people to begin hunting it.

Humans were able to survive in the Great Wilderness not only through martial arts, but also through skillful use of tools and cooperation.

It is still very useful, at least when hunting wild beasts of the third rank or below.

Volcano and the others threw the animal meat into the floodwaters.

The floodwaters were so swift that any meat thrown in would be swept away.

The group did not stop.

"Wang..."

Finally, another sound, like a dog's bark, rang out in the flood.

In the murky floodwaters, a strange fish, entirely black, leaped out of the water.

The bloated, stick-together body was round and plump, like many fish bodies stuck together.

"Wow!"

The millstone-sized mouth swallowed the falling beast meat in one gulp, and floodwaters poured down through the gaps in its mouth.

"Throw it again!"

Seeing this, the tribesmen on the shore threw more animal meat, luring the strange fish closer.

"shoot!"

"Shhhhhh!"

When the strange fish was less than three zhang (approximately 10 meters) from the shore, the hook spear pierced through the air and stabbed into its body.

Rumble!
Before the strange fish could even struggle, it was flung out of the floodwaters and crashed heavily onto the mountainside.

After reaching the shore, the strange fish's tail slapped against the rock wall, producing a thunderous boom, and blood gushed from the pierced spots on its body.

"Catch it quickly, we can't waste this fish blood."

Shen Can didn't see the specific scene of the action clearly, but the bloated, strange fish came into his view; it was huge.

We thought we had reached a dead end and there was no way out. We thought we would have to wait for the heavy rain to stop, but unexpectedly, it was almost time for dinner.

The strange fish in Kaishan Realm, its lifespan is unknown.

The strange fish was quickly dragged into the ancestral temple.

Outside the cave, there was a large crowd of people, big and small.

To show respect for the second-tier wild beast, Shen Can had already smoothed out his hempen clothes and made preliminary preparations before taking up his post.

"Master, let me come!"

Seeing Huo Xian walk towards the wooden shelf where the blood goblet and the phoenix knife were placed, Shen Can quickly spoke up.

Just like last time, the strange fish was firmly held down by its tribesmen.

However, the warriors who held down the strange fish were stronger than last time; they were all second-tier warriors from the tribe.

His confidence in daring to attack the second-tier monster fish stemmed from the fact that he had his clansmen helping him.

Actually, it would have been the same if it were Master Huo Xian. When Huo Xian was young, he was a martial artist at the Rock-Splitting Realm, but as he got older, his blood and energy had long since declined.

Therefore, whenever the tribe hunts a powerful prey, the tribespeople will first hold it down and let Huo Xian take action.

"Little A-Can, you've really become a temple spirit."

"Go ahead and stab, Uncle won't let go."

“With our ancestors here, shut up.”

Huo Xian followed behind Shen Can, silencing the clansmen who were about to speak.

"Ah Chan, let's begin."

Shen Can nodded.

Then, he froze.

Animal ears are used to draw shamanic symbols.

Where are the fish's ears?

"Getting promoted right away? No experience won't cut it." "The bones on either side of the fish's head are where its inner ear is located," Huo Xian, who had been following along, said.

With his master's help, Shen Can jumped onto the strange fish's head and found the location of the inner ear.

The strong fishy smell filled his nostrils, almost causing him to collapse. Huo Xian, who was watching closely, showed a nervous expression.

When he became the temple priest, he had been presiding over the sacrifices for more than two years before he began to deal with the offerings of second-tier wild beasts. Shen Can had only been with him for a little over half a month.

The more powerful the wild beast, the stronger its aura. Shen Can gritted his teeth and used the beast's blood in the blood vessel as ink to outline the fish's head.

What are you struggling for? Your money's here to be collected.

There are words in his mouth.

"The sacrificial animals are plump and juicy, and the offerings are plentiful and abundant."

The strange fish had sturdy bones and scales all over its body. Fortunately, its lower jaw was quite prominent. Shen Can gripped the Luan Blade and used all his strength.

"puff!"

Gushing blood from the strange fish flowed out and poured into the blood vessel.

[The priest seized the lifespan of the second-tier Great Wilderness exotic bloodline He Luo fish, which was worth 370 years.]

As the Luan Blade plunged in, a thought flashed through Shen Can's mind.

Then, the struggling fish, which had been struggling violently, greatly reduced its strength.

After stabbing the fish, the next step is to cut up the monster's flesh.

Unlike the last time when they dissected the mountain-splitting Kui, this time the tribesmen brought stone troughs and collected all the blood of the strange fish, filling three stone troughs with fish blood.

The Mountain Opening Realm warriors who had previously held down the strange fish now stared intently at the fish's blood in the stone trough.

Shen Can was actually very familiar with that gaze; he had once stared at a first-tier beast blood in the same way.

"Once I have prepared the herbs, they can be used for soaking."

Huo Xian spoke, drawing everyone's attention back from the stone trough.

The beast's blood is tyrannical, and some herbs need to be added before each soak to neutralize it. Although the effect is minimal, every slight reduction could potentially lead to a person's success.

The second-tier monster fish was completely decomposed by the time dawn broke.

Most of these second-tier meats are for second-tier martial artists, with some left for first-tier martial artists. Ordinary clansmen get almost nothing.

Even a strange fish ten feet in size like this wouldn't last long for the Blazing Flame Tribe, which has thirteen warriors at the Mountain Opening Realm. It's one of the few resources that can boost their strength.

The sacrificial meat offered to the ancestors also attracted requests from members of the clan.

This time, however, the children were not from the tribe, but rather warriors at the Stone-Splitting Realm, as well as some tribesmen preparing to advance to the Stone-Splitting Realm, including Ayu.

As a temple offering, Shen Can chose a piece of flesh with abundant vitality and gave it to A Yu.

After dividing the meat, Shen Can intended to go back and continue deducing the Kui Niu Fist, but he saw that the candlelight in the East Ear Cave was still flickering, and Huo Xian's forehead was covered with wrinkles.

Three more piles of medicinal herbs appeared on the stone table, intended to neutralize the violent aura of the beast blood.

This is a recipe passed down from our ancestors.

Huo Xian frowned deeply.

As a tribal shaman, one of the things he most wanted to do was to improve the neutralizing medicine formula and reduce the degree of beast blood explosion.

"Chalcedony orchid, lotus seeds, mountain soil..."

Shen Can took out the ceramic jar and prepared to pack the three portions of medicinal herbs separately.

"Wait a minute, let me think about it some more."

Huo Xian took out a portion of the mountain soil from one of the medicinal herbs, but shook his head and put it back in.

The formula for neutralizing herbs is the result of years of experimentation by the tribe. Second-tier beast blood is hard-won, and rashly altering it could cause even more severe damage to the tribespeople who have been soaked in the beast blood, resulting in the loss of the tribe's Mountain Opening Realm warriors.

Huo Xian has been agonizing over every preparation of beast blood for decades.

Seeing this, Shen Can didn't bother Huo Xian anymore and quietly stood in the corner.

"The formula for neutralizing the blood of beasts from the Blazing Flame Tribe's Mountain-Opening Realm with witch medicine, derived from..."

Having integrated the memories of this life, Shen Can understood it very well.

Only when the Blazing Flame Department is well can he be well.

Quietly enhance the tribe's strength. As the tribe gains more warriors, it will naturally hunt more wild beasts. This is a mutually beneficial process.

If the tribe cannot hold on, no one will be spared when the nest is overturned.

Besides, the tribe members are all very kind.

Enhancing the strength of the tribe members means enhancing our own security level; this is something we must do.

May our ancestors protect us and prevent him from dying prematurely.

Inside the illusory three-legged sacrificial cauldron within his body, the tiny figure reappeared. This time, instead of throwing punches, he sat down and discussed the Dao, deep in thought.

[As a novice in the path of witch medicine, your ambitions soared. You chose to study second-tier witch medicine prescriptions, hoping to improve them. You devoted yourself to arduous research for ten years, painstakingly crafting your own improved prescriptions.]

[Those who used it all died, their deaths gruesome, as if boiled in water, the aroma wafting through the air, too painful to look at.]

[After thirteen years, a better prescription was developed, but the clansmen who used it died without a complete corpse.]

[Fifteen years later, you, possessed by demonic possession, devised your own remedy, took it, and died.]
