I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself
Chapter 396 - 170: Subduing the Wild Beasts, Luwu Treasure Blood (Part 2)
The Golden-winged Sword-toothed Tiger spoke, its voice booming.
Compared to ordinary wild beasts, their inheritance is more complete, making communication with different races not difficult.
"These people you brought can’t even approach the descendants of Luwu."
The eyes of the Golden-winged Sword-toothed Tiger glanced at other Blazing Flame Clan People, noticing that some had transformed into human forms.
At this moment, Shen Can finally understood what the fallen giant beast was.
A descendant of Luwu, no wonder it’s so formidable, attracting Tier Four Wild Beasts to compete for it.
A true pureblood Luwu is an existence on par with Kui Ox.
Shaped like a large tiger, with nine tails, capable of swallowing mountains and seizing peaks.
This made him even more eager to obtain the Treasure Blood dropped by the Luwu descendant.
It’s not about coveting the blood energy, but rather the fact that the Treasure Blood carries the aura of Luwu. Perhaps he could sense the Luwu Divine Form from it, which could be used to enhance his own Desolate Beast Battle Body.
Human Race’s Martial Dao stems from wild beasts, and only by witnessing it personally can one have deeper insights.
"Don’t seek the Luwu, find the wild beast that obtained the Luwu Treasure Blood."
Saying this, Shen Can took out the Beast Pill of the Purple Cloud Celestial Eagle he got earlier, instantly attracting the attention of two wild beasts.
These two fellows wanted to take advantage of the wounded eagle, relying not only on courage but also on their strong bloodlines.
"When we hunt the wild beast, the Beast Pill will help you ascend to Tier Four."
For the newly tamed wild beasts, Shen Can directly offered them what they most desired.
"This celestial eagle should have been severely injured while vying for the Luwu Treasure Blood. You should know who took the Treasure Blood."
At this moment, the Dragon Horned Wilderness Beast spoke, "I don’t know who took the Treasure Blood, but I do know that nearby, another Tier Four Black-haired Hound was also severely injured."
"So much time has passed, maybe the wild beast that took the Treasure Blood has already begun refining it."
Hearing this, Shen Can frowned.
The Dragon Horned Wilderness Beast spoke correctly; from the giant beast falling to the clansmen returning to report, a considerable amount of time had passed.
Although refining the Treasure Blood cannot be completed in a day or two, the longer it takes, the lower the chances of obtaining the Treasure Blood.
Moreover, this is the Giant Mountain Range, where the strength of wild beasts is unknown. If a couple of extremely powerful Tier Four Wild Beasts suddenly show up, he would have to flee for his life.
However, Shen Can soon regained his composure.
Although he hadn’t obtained the Luwu Treasure Blood yet, he had subdued two Tier Three Peak wild beasts, which had the potential to become Tier Four.
And a complete corpse of a Tier Four Wild Beast.
That’s already a substantial gain.
Even if he doesn’t find the Luwu Treasure Blood, he still has a Tiger Race wild beast. When the Golden-winged Sword-toothed Tiger in front of him ascends to Tier Four, it can also assist him in observation and inference.
In the Giant Mountain Range, one must not be overly greedy.
"If I obtain it, it’s my fortune."
Then, Shen Can asked, "Did you come here looking for the Giant Eagle? Is its nest within this mountain forest?"
"Nearby, is there any Spirit Tree or Spirit Wood, high-quality medicinal herbs?"
Along the way, Shen Can brought his clansmen to find numerous Witch Medicines. Although they hadn’t encountered any Treasure Medicine yet, they had found Witch Medicines that were over a hundred years old.
After some inquiry, these two wild beasts were several tens of thousands of miles away from the Giant Eagle’s nest.
This time Luwu fell, attracting many Tier Four Wild Beasts to the area, and countless Tier Three Wild Beasts met their demise.
These two wild beasts knew they wouldn’t obtain the Treasure Blood and would rather kill and consume the Giant Eagle instead.
Don’t be mistaken; the alliance between these two against the Giant Eagle was merely a cooperative relationship. If they were to somehow kill the Giant Eagle, they would fight each other fiercely, leaving only one to survive.
Thanks to Shen Can’s arrival, none needed to die.
After scouring the Giant Eagle’s territory thoroughly, Shen Can led two wild beasts and his clansmen toward the Black-haired Hound’s territory.
Every Tier Four Wild Beast has its own hunting range. Unless they’re of the same species, if another same-tier wild beast intrudes, a fierce battle will occur.
By defeating the invaders, one can maintain their hunting territory. If defeated, the victor will claim the territory.
Wild Beasts below Tier Three, on the other hand, are more nomadic and can roam freely. Generally, Tier Four Wild Beast Lords don’t pay attention to them.
Unless there’s a large-scale migration of a species, then a Tier Four Wild Beast will take action.
One more scenario is when a Tier Four Wild Beast senses that other wild beasts within their territory pose a threat to them.
Like the Dragon Horned Wilderness Beast and the Golden-winged Sword-toothed Tiger, if the Purple Cloud Celestial Eagle wasn’t injured, they certainly wouldn’t appear in front of it.
Wild beasts sense bloodlines very keenly.
Once calm, Shen Can was no longer in a rush to seek out Treasure Blood, avoiding any hasty actions that might lead to great danger.
Coming here wasn’t easy; better to first gather everything he could find.
On the way to the Black-haired Hound’s territory, his clan members kept transforming into wild beast forms, exploring the mountain forest and bringing back minerals and Witch Medicine.
Everyone knew the Giant Mountain Range was a treasure trove, with Spirit Wood and Innate Little Creatures, so they explored meticulously.
Especially after forming five Beast Races, most wild beasts wouldn’t dare obstruct them, fleeing upon sensing their presence.
"Beyond that Giant Peak ahead lies the Black-haired Hound’s territory. I’ve stayed there for some time.
Its territory doesn’t have wild beast races with high bloodlines, only those with lower-rank bloodlines."
As a wild beast with dragon bloodlines, the Dragon Horned Wilderness Beast was quite proud, ignoring even the Golden-winged Sword-toothed Tiger.
The Sword Tiger naturally bared its teeth at the Dragon Horn.
"Are there any special races?"
Wild beasts have simple thoughts, always looking to refine higher bloodlines. Low bloodline creatures are mere ants.
"For example, wine-brewing monkey tribes or Spirit Worms that fill mountains."
Since the appearance of the Innate Little Spirit Race, Shen Can had realized that the innate habits of many races were quite beneficial to tribal development.
The two can complement each other.
As expected, both wild beasts fell silent.
Who pays attention to ants?
The party of beasts circumvented the Giant Peak blocking their way and gazed upon yet another expanse of the sprawling Giant Mountain Range.
Guided by the Dragon Horn’s directions, they cautiously reached beneath the mountain where the Black-haired Hound resided.
They entered an enormous cavern, filled with the smell of raw beast and scattered with various beast bones.
The Black-haired Hound wasn’t at home.
The cavern also showed no signs of fighting, and judging by the bloodstains on the bones, it had not returned for quite a while.
Even in the absence of the Black-haired Hound, its lingering presence in the cave was potent enough to prevent other Tier Three Wild Beasts from entering.
"It seems the Black-haired Hound may not have obtained the Treasure Blood and possibly succumbed as well."
After inspecting the cavern, aside from some minerals, it was filled with nothing but beast bones.
"Nearby the Black-haired Hound, what kind of wild beast lords are there?"
Every wild beast territory is vast, otherwise, it wouldn’t sustain these giants’ daily needs.
The Dragon Horned Wilderness Beast looked up towards the north.
"There’s a Chi Tiger there."
Upon hearing this, Shen Can noticed the Golden-winged Sword-toothed Tiger’s eyes light up, as did the Dragon Horned Wilderness Beast beneath him, showing desire. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Chi Tiger, a wild beast with dual bloodlines of Yinglong and Qiongqi, tiger-headed and dragon-bodied, capable of summoning storms.
Coincidentally, these two creatures have dragon and tiger bloodlines.
"I’m merely stating facts without any ulterior motives; my Beast Soul is in your possession!"
The Dragon Horned Wilderness Beast spoke, feeling Shen Can’s chilling aura.
"I left the Black-haired Hound’s territory back then to avoid this Chi Tiger."
"If the Black-haired Hound sensed the Luwu Treasure Blood, the Chi Tiger certainly could too."
"Is the Chi Tiger’s bloodline very strong?"
"Strong."
Previously prideful about its bloodline, the Dragon Horned Wilderness Beast now lowered its head.
"I’ve seen it battling other wild beasts, manifesting Yinglong Dragon Wings and the Qiongqi form, terrifying me enough to flee the area."
"Since you’ve stayed long in the Black-haired Hound’s territory, is there any Five Elements Spiritual Land, Spirit Tree, or remarkable beast races here?"
"There is a place that attracts many wild beasts to live there, likely a spiritual land mentioned by your Human Race."
