I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 216 - 99: The Power of Ancestral Temple Keeper Blood

"The Sacrificial Spirit has granted its blessing!"

The scene outside the ancestral temple brought cheers from the clansmen.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp!"

At this moment, the Cyan Simurgh spread their wings and cried out, feeling a clearer connection with their companions.

Although both sides had acknowledged each other before, the Human Race and the Cyan Simurgh Race were ultimately two different tribes, and estrangement was inevitable.

The Blazing Flame Clan People felt the same, sensing the consciousness fluctuations of the Cyan Simurgh beside them.

Previously, they had to guess; now, they instantly understood.

Inside the ancestral temple.

Shen Can slowly withdrew his Divine Sense from the Sacrificial Artifact, the Sacrificial Spirit within had just surged tremendously.

A rune connecting the clansmen and the Cyan Simurgh manifested.

Indeed, frequent sacrifices bring benefits.

The Sacrificial Spirit, much like the lost treasures of the Human Race, needs to be continually activated through sacrifices.

Outside the ancestral temple, the birdsong and the cheering of clansmen made Wish Power flow into the temple like a tide, making the Sacrificial Spirit in the Sacrificial Artifact even more substantial.

Exiting the ancestral temple, they divided the Wild Beast and offered it on the offering table.

The clansmen and the Cyan Simurgh present did not leave, continuing to bow and cry outside the ancestral temple.

...

Inside the ancestral temple.

Shen Can, Huo Chang, and a Cyan Simurgh stood outside the offering table.

"I will set off tomorrow."

Huo Chang's eyes showed joy, the blessing of the Sacrificial Spirit made the clansmen and the Cyan Simurgh closer, inevitably enhancing battle strength during fights.

With the ancestors' blessing, the odds of success with this expedition increased once more.

"Since our clan has formed a contract, we will adhere to it."

The Cyan Simurgh didn't say much, the Blazing Flame Tribe had not treated its tribe poorly, providing food, drink, and the respect it deserved.

For those unwilling to form a partnership with the Human Race, the Blazing Flame Division did not force them.

Beneath the Spirit Tree was the Primordial Vein, allowing it to grow more lushly than when it was in the Rift Valley.

Without external threats, over the past year, more than twenty Little Simurgh chicks had hatched in the tribe.

In the past, the hatching of young birds was the most dangerous time, prone to attacks by Wild Beasts, with a survival rate of less than thirty percent.

With the protection of the Blazing Flame Tribe, if these Little Simurgh were unwell, the Witch Doctor would provide treatment.

So far, none of the twenty-plus newly hatched Little Simurghs had died, each growing robustly, with an abundance of various insects and beast meat every day.

In such a situation, the stronger the Blazing Flame Tribe becomes, the more its tribe will proliferate and thrive.

"Take whatever needs to be taken, and remember, only make a move if you're sure you'll profit."

Shen Can didn't have much more to say; Huo Chang's personality also had a meticulous side.

The reason for venturing out was mainly due to the wild nature of the clansmen outside, which made Huo Chang a bit uneasy.

The following day, before dawn, Huo Chang and the Cyan Simurgh, along with thirty Cyan Simurgh Soldiers, left the clan land.

These thirty Cyan Simurgh and Clan Soldiers were the most elite of the tribe, some being Celestial Vein Martial Artists.

Going south this time, Huo Chang brought plenty of supplies, including prepared Witch Medicine and provisions.

Yongyi didn't lack food, but that didn't mean there was no shortage in areas occupied by Xiaoyang.

The number of refugees gathered by Huo Ning outside hadn't increased because of the food shortage.

The farmland of the Human Race had long been ravaged by Xiaoyang, and being in constant conflict, they had no time or energy to farm again.

Watching the Cyan Simurgh disappear into the sky, Shen Can slowly withdrew his gaze.

To have meat, one must be prepared for a beating.

You can take advantage many times, but no one can guarantee that they can escape unscathed every time.

With Huo Chang gone, necessary preparations must be made; Shen Can planned to visit the prepared fake clan land in some days.

Regardless of whether there's a tail following or not, preparations for it must be made.

Returning to the ancestral temple, Shen Can, following his old routine, began to sweep the temple, waiting for clansmen to present offerings.

Yesterday's sacrifice left Sacrificial Meat on the offering table, and today someone would certainly come to claim it.

Soon, footsteps echoed outside the ancestral temple.

The footsteps stopped far away, followed by the sound of kneeling.

By the time the sky was starting to brighten, the space outside the ancestral temple was filled with kneeling figures.

Shen Can selected the offerings presented by the clansmen and placed them on the offering table, distributing the Sacrificial Meat among the clansmen, who then left gradually.

At this moment, Little Dragon Fish brought Little Cyan Simurgh in; observing the Wind and Rain Master Painting had become a daily habit for the two creatures.

The two little ones also learned to bring offerings, entering quietly and imitating the clansmen's bow to the ancestral Sacrificial Artifact.

"Blub blub."

"Cheep cheep."

Two green fruits landed in Shen Can's hand, which Little Dragon Fish indicated were brought for him.

Just as Little Dragon Fish and Little Cyan Simurgh were about to view the painting, Shen Can grabbed each with one hand.

Holding Little Dragon Fish down, Shen Can began to examine its entire body.

After checking Little Dragon Fish, he opened Little Cyan Simurgh's wings to examine them.

The fish and bird looked at Shen Can with fear in their eyes.

"My revered Ancestral Temple Keeper, are you planning to eat fish?"

Shen Can ignored Little Dragon Fish, feeling a sense of understanding.

He recalled during yesterday's sacrifice when the Sacrificial Beast initially struggled, but once he released his blood aura, it suddenly acted as if facing an Upper-Rank Wild Beast.

He then circulated his blood aura slightly. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Roar!"

In an instant, Little Dragon Fish let out a low roar, its eyes locking onto Shen Can, filled with vigilance and some fear.

Little Cyan Simurgh stepped back a few paces, plopping down on the ground, flapping its wings and chirping anxiously.
