I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 259 - 115: The Path to Tier 4, Huo Chang Moves South
The two sat in the cave, casually finding a stone to place under them.
Huo Chang talked about the changes within the tribe.
The valley has fertile lands, with the cultivated area continuously expanding and more food produced compared to the previous years.
The tribe’s armory is becoming more refined.
Both the Little Dragon Fish and Little Cyan Simurgh have grown larger.
Huo Shan, leading the clan soldiers, made new discoveries while exploring routes.
Shen Can had conveyed the orders to capture the Sacrificial Beast before he arrived, and the tribe had already started acting on it.
...
"The reason I came this time is that recently people have been entering the Northern Lands, and some unknown Martial Artists have inquired about the remnants of the tribes Huo Qingg gathered outside the mountain.
The tribes gathered outside the mountain have not interfered with their survival and proliferation, except the leader being one of our clan people, the rest don’t know about our Blazing Flame Mountain presence."
"It’s bound to happen sooner or later."
Shen Can wasn’t too stirred; he had long expected someone to go looking.
After he killed Luo Zhi and interrogated Luo Feng, he understood the weakness of the Bronze War Chariot once he knew the methods of the Luo River elder folks.
The Luo River Bo Division could not activate Kui Ox Divine Form, a mere spectacle for ordinary tribes, but for tribes like the Jishan with ancient legacies, they would immediately understand the problem upon hearing the news.
They would know that those driving the war chariot were not from the Luo River Bo Division.
"Oh, when I reached the Three Fires Division, I heard from Huo Ning and Huo Tu that the Jishan Bo Division is currently looking for Flying Birds, especially those in groups."
"Perhaps we should return to the mountain temporarily."
After arriving in Ji Land, Huo Chang learned about the disappearance of the Bronze War Chariot and Xiaoyang, and unhesitatingly determined that the latter was Shen Can’s doing.
Now, not only is Xiaoyang paying attention, but even the Ji Land Human Race has taken notice.
Otherwise, people wouldn’t cross the Xiaoyang Race Territory to the Northern Lands to gather information.
If their investigation direction has turned towards the Northern Lands, who knows what they’ve found.
"Going to the Northern Lands to find tribes and trace Flying Birds, that’s the right approach."
Shen Can pondered for a moment; from these messages, others indeed had figured out some things based on his actions.
And apart from Jishan, only Yanran could possess such methods.
Other tribes lack the inclination to investigate these matters.
Regarding tribes turning their gaze to the Northern Lands, Huo Chang couldn’t help but worry, which is why he came.
Besides worrying about the tribe, he was concerned about Shen Can’s safety.
Goodness, he had killed so many Tier Three Xiaoyang, it’s surprising Xiaoyang wasn’t enraged.
"I’ve been cultivating in the mountain recently, and I’m unclear about the specifics; why don’t we visit a Ruins Market?"
Though Shen Can wanted to ’visit’ a faded Bo Division, the information Huo Chang brought still warranted attention.
If the tribes probing the Northern Lands are Human Race tribes, that’s manageable, but they fear Xiaoyang is also searching.
It’s better to clarify the information first to guide further decisions.
"Let’s have the Cyan Simurgh Soldiers hide for now." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
...
Yunyang Ruins Market.
Shen Can and Huo Chang looked at the city marred with marks; although it was a territory occupied by Xiaoyang, the Ruins Market seemed more prosperous than usual.
Rangers from all directions treated this place as a point for resource exchange.
Many rangers came on Wild Beasts or Flying Birds.
Shen Can glanced around, noticing that most seat beasts’ bloodlines were very ordinary, not comparable to the Cyan Simurgh.
The Martial Artists passing by exuded intense Evil Qi, and some people’s eyes were filled with ferocity.
A place once dominated by tribal material exchange had now become a gathering place for rangers.
"Let’s go find a place to eat first."
Just as they entered the city, a loud noise erupted, two figures were seen fighting, scattering many onlookers.
Some stayed to watch the spectacle, unafraid of getting caught up in the fight.
The two fighting also observed their surroundings, aware that some were not to be trifled with, so they avoided them.
After watching for a while, Shen Can and Huo Chang entered the city, finding a Food Pavilion.
"I don’t fear Xiaoyang, why would I fear you!"
"What about Xiaoyang; they neither retreat nor fight, what are they sticking around for?"
"I heard treasure medicine appeared in the eastern mountain, don’t know who snatched it."
On the way from the city gate to the Food Pavilion, chaotic voices filled the air, making Huo Chang frown.
What is all this?
The two reached outside the Food Pavilion, seeing several Wild Beasts hanging, one of which Shen Can had seen someone riding before entering the city.
Now, the rider was nowhere to be seen, and the mount was gutted and hung high.
As they walked, Shen Can sensed the Blood Witch’s aura within a short time.
"Let’s eat first, then catch someone."
Shen Can had thought entering the Ruins Market City would yield information from the mouths of rangers.
There indeed was information, just too messy.
They still needed to find someone to inquire.
...
That night.
A hundred miles outside Yunyang Ruins Market, two figures were thrown to the ground like dead dogs.
"Spare me!"
"Brother, I’m just passing through."
"I beg for mercy."
...
The figures in the pit had broken tendons and bones, their faces filled with terror.
Shen Can and Huo Chang each held one, beginning their interrogation.
Then they continued their method, stopping others to inquire for information.
Under Shen Can’s perception, no matter how well hidden, the stench couldn’t escape his detection.
By morning, the massive pit they dug overnight was filled with bones.
"Wouldn’t it be a waste to burn them, should we take them back to fertilize the fields?"
As dawn approached, Huo Chang gazed at the bones in the pit, feeling that burying them there was too lenient.
