I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 261 - 116: Young Friend, If You Have the Guts, Try Going to the Luo River!
Giant Wood Bo Division.
Looking afar, the entire tribe resided within a vast mountain forest, with ancient trees so thick several people would struggle to wrap their arms around them, and old vines dangling down from the trees.
The green canopy was like a sea, making it completely indistinguishable that a tribe existed within.
Currently, the strongest martial artist on the surface in the Giant Wood Bo Division was only at the Celestial Vein Eighth Layer, which was one reason Shen Can chose to come to Giant Wood.
Of course, that was just for show. In secret, there were likely Ninth-Grade Martial Artists.
The ancient jungle was filled with a rich vitality that could be felt even from afar.
Especially Huo Chang, who sensed that if he engaged in combat in this old forest, his combat power would increase by at least twenty percent. If he could ignite a great fire, like the Golden Crow back then, the battle would yield twice the result with half the effort.
Huo Chang, having watched for a long time, slowly withdrew his gaze and sighed, "Just a great fire is missing."
Shen Can glanced sideways at Huo Chang.
At this moment, both had disguised themselves as Rangers, making it impossible to tell they were the Ancestral Temple Keeper and the Clan Leader of the Blazing Flame Tribe.
"Acan, should we just barge in?"
In Huo Chang’s view, even though the Giant Wood Bo Division had declined, the techniques related to advancing to the Divine Treasure were still tribal secrets, unlikely to be shown to outsiders.
Subsequently, Shen Can didn’t really force his way in but directly went to visit.
"Who goes there!"
As Shen Can entered the forest, the whistling sound of arrows immediately reached him, and arrows landed in front of him.
"Ranger Yun Pan here to visit!"
Shen Can randomly made up a name, and with the surge of blood energy in him, the ancient trees all around wildly swayed, making a whooshing sound.
In the distant hidden places among the ancient trees, shadows froze under the surging blood energy, and the snake-shaped wild beasts on the trees trembled in fear, falling off one by one.
As for Huo Chang, he didn’t enter the Giant Wood Race Territory with Shen Can, remaining outside for backup.
Soon after, the shrill sound of wooden whistles rapidly echoed in the forest, transmitting into the jungle’s depths.
In the surrounding forest, figures were leaping swiftly like Great Apes, and countless arrows emerged among the trees.
Under Shen Can’s Divine Sense, within several dozen feet, there were hundreds of arrows aimed at him.
Under his feet, five feet deep in the soil, the roots of the ancient trees intertwined, forming a dense net supporting the thick soil.
Beneath the tree roots were underground dark rivers and dark lakes.
Clearly, the Giant Wood Bo Division was aware of their tribal weakness and transformed the land beneath into wetlands.
Not long after, a middle-aged martial artist came from afar, observing Shen Can from a distance.
"Our Clan Leader invites you."
...
The Clan Hall of the Giant Wood Bo Division was an ancient tree transformed.
Entering the clan land from outside, Shen Can saw many old sentient trees along the expansive forest, with witch medicines growing beneath them.
However, none of these sentient trees compared to the one in his own tribe.
Inside the grand hall, Shen Can waited for quite a while without anyone showing up, but he wasn’t anxious, choosing a seat on the side to sit down, selecting a few gifts from the Witch Pouch.
Facing fellow tribesmen, naturally, one couldn’t handle it like dealing with Xiaoyang.
He was here to seek guidance, not to annihilate the tribe.
However, Xiaoyang was also involved, and these gifts were from Xiaoyang.
"Young friend, you’ve waited long enough."
After a while, hurried footsteps sounded outside the grand hall, and an elder entered.
He appeared extremely thin, with deeply sunken eyes, looking as if he didn’t have many years left to live.
But one shouldn’t judge by appearances alone.
Although the Giant Wood Bo Division had only a generation of Divine Treasure Martial Artists, this particular Divine Treasure Martial Artist lived past 800 years.
In terms of lifespan, he could be considered the longest-lived figure in Ji Land over thousands of years.
As for why he took so long to appear, he must have been setting up some measures, a sentiment Shen Can could relate to.
After all, the arrival of a Celestial Vein Ninth Layer Martial Artist, especially a Ranger, was quite a pressure on a declining Bo Division.
Inside the grand hall, Shen Can and the elder entering exchanged a glance.
"I apologize for the sudden visit that disturbs your esteemed division."
Shen Can stood up, saluting the elderly man who entered.
"I am Giant Sheep, the Clan Leader of the Giant Wood Race."
Upon entering, Giant Sheep immediately sensed the surging blood energy on Shen Can, a state even he couldn’t reach.
After a slight sensing, he understood.
Celestial Vein Ninth Layer, surging blood energy, not very old.
He’s most certainly here for the Divine Treasure Technique.
After which, Giant Sheep glanced at the small and large wooden boxes placed in advance by Shen Can on the table, smiling as he invited Shen Can to sit back down.
"It seems I’ve stayed too long within the tribe and wouldn’t have expected such a Ranger like young friend to appear outside the tribe."
The change in Giant Sheep’s expression from entering to being seated, observing Shen Can’s gifts, caused a brief brightness in his eyes when looking at the gifts.
Though fleeting, it didn’t escape Shen Can’s perception.
"Someone, bring in iced water."
Before Shen Can could speak, the Giant Sheep Clan Leader called out towards the outside.
Next, some fruit and copper cups emitting cool air were brought in.
"Please."
Noticing Giant Sheep praising again, serving fruit and iced water without asking his origins or purpose, Shen Can understood he was waiting for him to speak.
Of course, he hadn’t intended to hide anything; however, Giant Sheep’s reaction upon his entrance had caught him off guard.
It was as if his arrival was not unexpected.
Setting down the iced water in the copper cup, Shen Can said, "Giant Clan Leader, I’ve come this time for the technique for your division to advance to the Divine Treasure. Could it be possible for me to have a look?"
