I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 120 - 65: Sudden Turn of Events—With No One Left, Who Am I Supposed to Save?

"Has the boat heading east left yet?"

"No, not a single boat has left."

"Follow them and investigate where they are heading."

Shen Can instructed Huo Hou to continue scouting.

This time, besides rescuing Cyan Bird, another important reason was to seize some gains.

The tribe wants to develop quickly, and snatching is much faster than growing crops themselves.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about armor; don't be deceived by the shabby appearance worn by the Xiaoyang, it's not that the armor is bad, but the Xiaoyang wearing it is lacking.

The Ji Land Tribe and Xiaoyang have been battling for years, and their forging of weapons and armor is certainly far superior to that of the Northern Lands.

Additionally, Shen Can wanted to experiment with the Copper Talisman Array he obtained.

"Also, send someone to stand guard at the small mountain a hundred miles to the west; I've sensed the remnants of the Cyan Bird Division are hiding there, see if you can locate them."

Shen Can gathered everyone together.

"After last night's investigation of the Cyan Bird Division, it was discovered that there are roughly three to four thousand Xiaoyang Martial Artists, and at least seven to eight thousand Human Race people detained by the Xiaoyang.

With so many people captured and detained, chances are they are planning to take them back, and the Cyan Bird Division might be their temporary base.

Spread out from the Cyan Bird as the center, sending Martial Artists to capture the Human Race.

Since they are acting separately, we have the chance to make our move."

After the flood, many tribes reunited, and clan lands changed accordingly.

Equivalent to the Human Race tribes in the Northern Lands undergoing major restructuring.

Don't mention Blazing Flame, even Cyan Bird and Ape Mountain struggle to clearly understand which tribes have formed in the Northern Lands.

In this situation, besides Cyan Bird and Ape Mountain, for the Xiaoyang Race to conquer other tribes, the first condition is to find the other tribes.

In the past few months, the Xiaoyang Race ran to the Northern Lands and destroyed several tribes, even the Ruins Market.

It's estimated that many tribes have heard the news.

Ape Mountain, with more than ten thousand people, managed to escape, smaller tribes likely fled even faster.

Fewer people and more mountains, hiding in the corners is the simplest and most effective defense method.

...

Upstream of Zhushui.

A formation of over five hundred Xiaoyang Race Soldiers was marching proudly.

During the journey, figures occasionally darted out in all directions, jumping up small mountains, climbing tall trees, and looking around.

"These frail Human Races, they really know how to run, much faster than those guys from Ji."

"Haha, no matter how well they run, they still need to eat and drink; they can't really escape our hunt."

"This is far more interesting than hunting Wild Beasts, those Human Race escapees are scattered everywhere, one arrow each."

"Heh heh, catch more this time; we might have several promising cultivators emerge in the tribe during the annual sacrifice."

...

As this group of Xiaoyang Race Soldiers passed by, a black bird flew overhead, capturing the entire scene of the Xiaoyang Race Martial Artists below.

"Delay them a bit, delay until close to evening."

...

Fifty miles away.

Under a wide, gentle slope of a small mountain, fields were overgrown with wild grass; left unchecked, it would soon overshadow the millet.

Throughout the field, broad figures bent over, pulling weeds.

Each time they bent over, they would pull up their robes when standing. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"It's been years, first time pretending to be women in the fields, these two hammers are exhausting."

Saying this, the Martial Artist lifted the beast-skin rope hanging around his neck, with two iron hammers, each one and a half feet long, tied to the ends.

The hammerheads were not large, about fist-sized, crafted from refined iron through repeated beating.

Tribe members of Blazing Flame brought two each as auxiliary weapons for close combat.

"Make it convincing, the Xiaoyang Race is coming soon; make sure to run swiftly when needed."

With the sun setting in the west, fire clouds lingered in the sky, casting shadows over the forest.

Smoke curled upward from buildings in the clan land, silhouettes moving about.

"Alright, everyone come back, no need to keep pretending."

Upon hearing this, figures in the field quickly headed back to the clan land.

"What a waste, these Xiaoyang are arriving too late."

Bonfires were lit within the tribe, their light casting flickering shadows.

Shen Can also returned to the clan land, where three disciples awaited.

"Master, the Copper Talisman Array has been set up."

The three members of Huo Tuan, whether excited or nervous, occasionally moved around the room.

Having disrupted the Xiaoyang Race, Huo Shan also returned, and Huo Kui, who had waited in the tribe for a long time, eagerly asked.

"Brother Shan, do you think these Xiaoyang will fall for it?"

"Of course, they're big-headed and brainless, couldn't even touch my behind despite an afternoon of my arrows."

Huo Shan spoke seriously, drawing several looks from Huo Kui.

...

Under nightfall, the firelight was conspicuous.

In the distance to the east, a group of Xiaoyang appeared, cursing and grumbling.

"So that's it, no wonder they used arrows to harass us, it was to cover for this tribe."

In the dim night, Muo Bai watched the jumping flames of the clan division.

"After searching for so long, finally found a tribe, capturing Human Race people is truly challenging."

"I'm already hungry, today I'm going to feast."

"Hahaha..."

The group of Xiaoyang Race gazed at the distant clan land, each with a savage look in their eyes.

Muo Bai laughed heartily for quite a while before stopping, turning to his men.

"The old rule, eat half, capture half."

"Be gentle, the people here are different from those in Ji; they're too weak, don't crush them all to death."

"Once you're close, kill your way in."
