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

Chapter 75: A Battle Against a Foreign Race, the Destruction of Shanghu, and an Unexpected Visitor (Please Read Further)

The Upper Lake Department is in chaos.

Suddenly, figures began to dart about throughout the tribe, crashing into houses and trampling rice paddies.

In the chaos, countless tribesmen screamed in terror, staring in horror at their suddenly transformed kinsmen.

Shui Lan trembled and collapsed to the ground, looking at her transformed state with no idea what to do.

Those who practice blood magic are neither human nor beast, and those who are tainted by blood magic will suffer endless consequences.

After annihilating several tribes, the backlash from the sacrificial Xiaoyang tribe has finally arrived.

Initially, he only wanted to practice witchcraft and expand the Upper Lake tribe.

Rumble!
The owl burst out of the cave and crashed into the Shanghu Ancestral Temple, glaring angrily at the water ripples covered in black fur.

"Find the person!"

The hoarse voice held a murderous intent.

Shui Lan shuddered and finally snapped out of her daze.

He suddenly realized that he had completely lost control of the Upper Lake Department.

This owl-like alien beast, kept in the tribe, had unknowingly taken control of the tribe members.

At this moment, looking out through the broken ancestral temple, one can see the tribesmen fighting each other, and the entire tribe has lost its former peace.

Among the tribe of over 13,000 people, some were unable to suppress their will, their eyes turned bloodshot, and black hair began to grow on their bodies.

"Someone has stolen our tribe's heritage!"

The Nightmare Owl kept uttering strange incantations, and the entire tribe grew increasingly chaotic as it murmured.

"Go into the water and search for me, go into the soil and look for me."

The Nightmare Owl also rushed out of the ancestral temple, determined to find the thief who stole its inheritance.

Shui Lan didn't want to move, but now he was powerless to change the situation.

After tonight, the rumors circulating about the Upper Lake tribe will be confirmed.

And he will become a homeless dog.

……

The Nightmare Owl moved continuously through the Upper Lake area, its bulky body moving with incredible speed.

What was stolen was not only a storage pouch, but also books, witchcraft artifacts, and other items passed down from a branch tribe.

Its greatest desire is to restore the glory of the Xiaoyang clan.

Once upon a time, the larger tribes of the Xiaoyang clan would sacrifice thousands of people in small-scale sacrifices and tens of thousands in large-scale sacrifices.

After the ceremony, the entire clan would feast, and the bones would be piled in a large pit outside the ancestral temple. The more pits each tribe had, the more honored they were.

The blood energy released from the human remains covered the sky, and the blood was like a cloud.

……

The commotion caused by the Upper Lake tribe was immediately noticed by the scouts of the three tribes who were roaming nearby, and they quickly ran towards the direction of the three tribes' camp.

Shen Can had already followed the lakes and marshes of the Upper Lake and entered the winding waterway to the southeast.

"Ah Chan".

On the north bank of the Qu River, Huoshan and Huoqi, along with their clan warriors, met up with Shen Can.

Thunder rumbled and flames flickered within the upper lake, accompanied by incessant cries and roars.

Everyone was surprised to learn what Shen Can had done.

Did they dig up someone's ancestral grave?

Shen Can glanced back and breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, this cannibalistic monster has a strong control over the Upper Lake region. If we were to hunt it down and take its storage pouch, we might actually find ourselves surrounded.

Fighting and killing are not suitable for his noble status.

It won't be long before the troops from the three tribes come to attack.

"Let's find a place to settle down temporarily and avoid being discovered by the scouts of the other two tribes."

At that moment, he felt the sachet in his arms tremble. "Oh no, everyone has gone to the south bank of the Qu River to prepare for battle. The cannibals are coming."

Upon hearing this, the group crossed the Qushui River.

Before long, Xiaoyan rushed out from Shanghu, followed by dozens of black-haired monsters with bloodshot eyes, and charged directly into Qushui River.

"put!"

Before the group of black-haired monsters could even swim across the winding river, arrows shot through the air, and figures fell one after another.

But some continued onward, their bodies riddled with arrows.

In particular, the Nightmare Owl roared and leaped up, trying to cross over to the shore.

At this moment, two water dragons erupted from the exploding water below, instantly binding Xiaoyan's legs.

The black light then pierced through the chest of the Nightmare Owl, transforming into a witch nail that flew back to Shen Can's side.

Volcano seized the opportunity and fired an arrow, but it was shattered by Owl Nightmare's punch.

But the volcano moved quickly, continuously drawing back the bowstring and unleashing a full-moon-shaped blast.

The rest of the tribesmen drew their bows and aimed them at the remaining black-haired monsters.

Shen Can continuously manipulated the water, transforming it into countless water arrows and water snakes that bombarded Xiao Yan, holding him back tightly.

"Human, you deserve to die!"

The Nightmare Owl stared at Shen Can, sensing that the witch's sachet was in Shen Can's arms.

Whoosh!

With a whooshing sound, the Nightmare Owl formed a layer of blood energy defense, shaking off the water that bound it, and charged towards Shen Can.

"Zhengzhengzheng!"

The volcano, upon seeing this, realized it was a serious matter.

You might as well kill me instead of rushing towards Ah Chan.

Three witch arrows were nocked on the bowstring, aimed vertically at the area from the owl's forehead to his chest.

Huo Qi, along with twenty warriors at the Mountain Opening Realm, also targeted Xiao Yan.

shhhhhh!
Most of the arrows were blocked by the blood energy emanating from Xiaoyan, but the arrows shooting out from the volcano could not be blocked and could only be dodged. Shen Can saw this and was not about to let them dodge.

With a flick of his hand, a water dragon flew up from the Qu River and instantly bound Xiao Yan's body.

Xiao Yan could only dodge the arrow to the head; the remaining two arrows pierced through his blood energy defense and stabbed into his chest.

Wow!

This wasn't the end of it. The witch nail, which had already submerged back into the winding water, transformed into black light and flew out, aiming to pierce the back of the owl's head.

The magic nails used by the Lingyu tribe to stab small dragonfish are very convenient for launching surprise attacks.

Shen Can thought the battle was over, but he didn't expect the other party to also have divine sense. His head tilted slightly again, and the witch nail passed by the left side of his skull, shattering a piece of bone.

"what!"

One side of his skull was smashed open, and Xiaoyan screamed in agony as his long lower lip curled upwards, covering most of his skull.

Seeing that Xiaoyan was severely injured, the Huoshan tribesmen didn't need to be told; they immediately drew their bows at Xiaoyan.

shhhhhh!
Shen Can wasn't idle either; he raised his hand and smashed Si Lin Yin towards Xiao Yan's forehead.

The small seal swelled to the size of a foot and was slapped onto Xiao Yan's upturned lower lip, imprinting the four ancient characters 'Imperial Decree for Forestry'.

Then, the upturned lips fell off, revealing a dented and shattered skull.

"Instant-cast sorcery... damn it!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Yan staggered forward two steps, riddled with arrows, and collapsed backward into the Qushui River.

"Check it out and take its body away."

As soon as Shen Can spoke, several clansmen quickly jumped into the water.

As he watched the cannibal's corpse being dragged up, he tightened his robes.

This cannibal's martial arts level must at least be comparable to a martial artist who has opened four or five Heavenly Meridians. Unfortunately, no matter how high his level is, he is still afraid of being ganged up on.

At least at the Heavenly Vein Realm, Shen Can felt that he still needed to be cautious about his personal martial prowess.

Almost every single one in each department is a headstrong individual; they would never act recklessly on their own when given the opportunity to gang up on someone.

This is a habit that people have developed through years of hunting.

Even the most powerful creature would have to transform into a hedgehog when facing so many archers.

……

On the Upper Lake side, Shui Lan herself had also transformed into a black-haired gorilla, her body swollen with blood sacs.
His eyes lost all rationality, and with a wave of his hand, he knocked down and crushed the shrine in the ancestral temple.

The entire tribe descended into chaos, with nearly half of its members falling into a state of delirium and covered in hair.

The remaining half of the people also had bloodshot eyes and bloodthirsty expressions.

The few who are clear-headed know they can't escape no matter how hard they try.

By the time the soldiers of the three tribes arrived, Upper Lake had become a scene of purgatory.

Bloodstains were everywhere—on houses, in marshes, and in rice paddies.

Everywhere you can see people covered in black hair, or people who have lost their minds chasing each other.

"What's going on?" Canghe asked in surprise.

Ape Peak muttered to himself, "The ancestral records state that those who practice blood witchcraft by sacrificing to calamity beasts will inevitably suffer a backlash, implicating their bloodline. It turns out that it was true."

"What are those dark figures? Are they wild beasts?!"

The dark figure stood out in the chaotic tribe; it was covered in black fur and was extremely bloodthirsty.

"It's an alien race!"

Huotang spoke, pointing to the highest point of the Upper Lake area.

A dark figure stood there silently, covered in black fur and with a robust physique.

It was the water ripples after the mutation.

"What are we waiting for? These alien races are wreaking havoc on human tribes; we cannot allow them to run rampant like this!"

Huo Tang looked around and with a whoosh, drew his long sword.

"Shieldbearers in front, archers prepare!"

"Charge in! The aliens must die!"

Upon realizing what was happening, Canghe and Yuanfeng immediately ordered their clan soldiers to take action.

The troop deployment they had discussed for several days to deal with Shanghu was now useless.

In this situation, we can simply form an array and advance.

The tribal soldiers, wielding swords, spears, and shields, were in front, followed by archers.

shhhhhh!
The three tribes had two thousand soldiers, including more than seven hundred archers.

Hearing the commotion, the 'tribe members' scattered around the area from the Upper Lake tribe rushed towards the soldiers of the three tribes.

"Don't hold back, they've all been cursed!"

"Do you still want to escape your slave status? What are you waiting for!"

The former slaves of the Shanghu tribe, who were huddled together, saw someone leading them and shouted as they rushed into the Shanghu tribe's territory.

……

The waters in the southeast direction of the Upper Lake area.

Shen Canqian looked towards the battlefield from the water.

This location is where the Upper Lake connects to the Qushui River.

After the cannibal was killed by him, the Upper Lake tribesmen, who had lost their rationality and were filled with bestiality and chaos, were no match for the organized tribal army of the three tribes.

The three tribes' troops were divided into three formations, with shield bearers forming a circle in front, warriors wielding spears or swords behind, and archers at the very back.

When they encountered the bloodthirsty tribesmen from Shanghu who charged forward, they were first met with a volley of arrows, followed by sword and spear warriors who came forward to finish them off.

It was a one-sided kill.

On the contrary, the slaves suffered heavy losses.

At that moment, a crocodile swam upstream in the Qushui River and hid among the water plants, its one white and one red eye looking towards the Upper Lake.

Furthermore, it constantly swallowed and exhaled water, ingesting the blood streaks in the water into its body.
