I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 56 - 27: Forcing Down Upper Huang, Wolves Chased by Tigers

Chapter 56: Chapter 27: Forcing Down Upper Huang, Wolves Chased by Tigers

Upper Huang Division.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Arrow fletchings broke through the air, piercing Huang Yunn, who, after being hit by arrows and killing more than ten of his clansmen, finally fell to the ground from a height.

Blood gushed from his mouth, his eyes regaining clarity.

"Iron... Iron Wood... Don’t touch... Upper... Upper Lake..."

Huang Yunn wanted to say more, but his head tilted to the side, and he could speak no further.

Huang Yang’s legs felt as if filled with molten iron, inching towards Huang Yunn.

"Clan Leader!"

Crying resonated among the clansmen.

Women and children sobbed softly, while the strong young men remained bewildered, not understanding why the tribe, seemingly on the verge of development, suddenly plunged into an abyss.

Clan Leader, Ancestral Temple Keeper, Elders, Mountain-Opening Realm Martial Artists were dead or injured in more than half of them...

What on earth happened.

"Fetch the beast oil!"

Huang Yang trembled as he spoke, then suddenly raged in frenzy, "Fetch the beast oil, burn it, burn it all!"

Saying this, he quickly rushed to the distance, stumbling as he searched for the oil jars.

"Burn the Iron Wood clean!"

Any clansmen who had contacted the Iron Wood, especially those who followed Huang Yunn to the Ruins Market to retrieve the Iron Wood, were all dead.

He bumped into many things, with his hair disheveled, Huang Yang suddenly looked up, "Tie me up quickly, use the strongest ropes."

"I also touched the Iron Wood."

"Burn the Iron Wood!"

"Kill me."

But Huang Yang’s words came too late.

The exposed arms swelled with blood vessels, starting to spread throughout his body.

"Mom, I’m so itchy."

"Why are blood bumps growing on me?"

In just a moment, many began to scratch all over their bodies, others, with bloodshot eyes, started to attack those nearby.

No one could organize a defense formation anymore.

Some were trying to escape from the clan land, but were suddenly shot dead by arrow fletchings while rushing downhill.

The Upper Huang Division Territory had only one passage down the mountain, originally meant for defense against outsiders, now instead becoming an obstacle for clansmen escaping downhill.

...

Days later, at the mountain top of the Upper Huang Division Territory.

An ugly figure emanating a foul stench, half of his face seeming to wriggle with worms, muttered incantations.

"Finally, it’s all erupted."

Shui Miao, wearing a Beast Skull Crown, covered his mouth and nose.

Then he frowned and spoke, "Qiu Insect, at this rate the entire tribe will become your fief."

"I brought three hundred Martial Artists, are you trying to send my clansmen back empty-handed?"

"We agreed, half would be your blood feast, half my slaves."

...

"Coo coo."

Qiu Insect opened his mouth with birdcalls first, then coldly replied, "What, are Lingyu Tribe’s Witch Weapons not worth more than a few slaves?

The Blood Curse Wood needs to be filled, otherwise we’ll use your Upper Lake people to fill it."

"You madman." Shui Miao shuddered.

Those two pieces of wood could never be sated.

"I’ll head down and guard to prevent too many people from escaping."

Watching Shui Miao leave, Qiu Insect didn’t pretend anymore.

With his Tier Two Wizard abilities, he could disrupt an entire tribe with incantations, would he really split the benefits with the Upper Lake Division?

He needed the Upper Lake Division’s protection, and they needed him to capture slaves and seize resources.

Their root lay with the two Blood Curse Woods; only right before death would the Upper Huang Division’s Clan Leader and Elders realize they brought death upon their clan.

...

At the back of the clan mountain, several skulls stared at the source of the foul smell.

They hadn’t deliberately searched; the stench led them.

"Upper Huang is finished."

Huo Chang’s lips were a bit dry.

The Upper Huang Division, which seemed mighty in his eyes, was ruined by just two people.

This was scarier than facing knives directly, more spine-chilling.

Early on, Shen Can was confused by the Blood Witch’s methods.

Claiming he was mighty, they had quietly slipped behind it to observe for days without being noticed.

Claiming he wasn’t mighty, if Upper Huang continued like this, the division would face doom.

The Upper Huang Division was in complete chaos, clansmen were killing each other, cries and shouts filled the air.

"Acan, Blood Witch..."

"Clan Leader, rest easy. It’s merely the mindful against the unsuspecting. If he were truly that powerful, we wouldn’t have waited all these days for complete chaos.

It’s most likely due to those two pieces of Iron Wood, remember to instruct your clansmen not to enter Upper Huang."

Shen Can reassured Huo Chang, "They’ve been working at this for almost a month; do you think they can curse us Blazing Flame now?"

Not that Shen Can was boasting, but if the Blood Witch made a move, he could break the curse.

"Clan Leader, prepare to act."

"Otherwise, we’ll get nothing."

Shen Can slowly withdrew his gaze from Upper Huang Division, "I know how to deal with that Blood Witch."

Ambush, who wouldn’t know how to do it.

Huo Chang nodded, there were Martial Arts Techniques, an Ironwood Ship within Upper Huang; should they be taken, acquiring the techniques would be difficult for the Blazing Flame.

After days of staking out, they clearly identified the mastermind.

A Blood Witch, two Celestial Veins, approximately three hundred organized martial artists.

The Blood Witch was responsible for the tribal chaos, the Celestial Veins and other martial artists guarded the exits, all waiting to gain from the conflict.

Moreover, this group was very arrogant, they hadn’t even sent scouts.

And the Blazing Flame Tribe’s martial artists had already arrived near the Upper Huang Division days before.

"I noticed the martial artists’ hands below the mountain wielding many bows; remember to utilize the Witch Talisman I entrusted to the clansmen."

...

Huo Chang nodded, "Ashan, protect Acan well. If there’s danger, carry him and run as far as you can."

"Got it." Huo Shan nodded.

Huo Shan caressed his big bow, remembering Acan asking him to use arrows to deal with the Blood Witch.

Their position was almost at the same height as where the Blood Witch was, around a hundred zhang in a straight line.

The Blood Witch appeared as a mere dot in his eyes; he felt that hitting it accurately was unlikely.

But Acan said, even if the arrow misses, it might scare the Blood Witch to death.

He always felt that Acan was tricking him.

How could a witch be scared to death?

Shen Can also touched his Seventy-Fifth Desolate Bow, as everyone knew, the physique of a witch was weak.

...

Huo Chang circled around and entered the valley three li outside the Upper Huang Race Territory.

"Clan Leader."

Seeing everyone either wiping arrows or eating, Huo Chang waved his hand.

"Aqi, there are two Celestial Vein Martial Artists on the other side, you need to use the giant crossbow to take down the one with the Beast Bone Crown for me."

Huo Qii touched the giant crossbow behind him, glinting coldly, and was eager to act.

This weapon was specifically disassembled from the Ironwood Ship. Acan said it was to give people a warm gift.

"Aqing, Amu, take people and use eleven Witch Bows to aim at the remaining Celestial Vein."

"How many Witch Talismans did Acan give you?"

"A total of 177 pieces."

"Good, have you all remembered how to use them?"

"Shield bearers up front, they have more bows and crossbows than us, everyone move in and throw the Witch Talismans."

Huo Chang grabbed a handful of Witch Talismans and stuffed them in his chest, also grabbing a vine shield wrapped in thick animal skin.

Although he didn’t know if the defense was strong or not, having it was better than nothing.

Originally, he planned to take action at night, but at night, the effect of the giant crossbow and Witch Talismans would weaken significantly; not seeing clearly was a big issue.

Furthermore, the opponent had more Mountain Opening Realm Martial Artists than the Blazing Flame. They had to get close and use the Witch Talismans to create a vast area of impact to crush the opponent at once.

...

At the foot of the Upper Huang Tribe’s mountain.

The scent of blood was pervasive, the sound of arrows breaking through the air echoed, and several people down below were shot and killed by arrows.

"Someone!"

A shout made those resting everywhere or guarding the entrance alert.

Soon, the two sides saw each other.

"Haha, where did these bumpkins come from."

After seeing the Blazing Flame Clan people, the Upper Lake Division soldiers were stunned for a moment.

"Animal skin shields, these animal skins aren’t even cut, did they just throw them on and come?"

"No, are these people here to pick up scraps?"

"Are they here to pick up the scraps of the Upper Lake Division?"

The Upper Lake Race Leader Shui Miao looked at the sudden appearance of a group of people, also stunned for a moment.

What, are mountain people really this fierce?

"There’s another tribe nearby, excellent, this trip wasn’t in vain!"

"Shuituo, form ranks, do these bumpkins from the mountains think they can pick up our scraps?"

A burly man jumped out, carrying an iron rod as thick as an arm, grinning, "Haha, didn’t expect someone to come to us."

"Form ranks, let these mountain bumpkins see what fighting is, they think they can pick up scraps, do they even deserve it!"

The Upper Lake Division soldiers quickly gathered, seven or eighty of them already began to draw their bows.

"I bet they won’t even need arrows, one charge and these hillbillies will be crying for their moms and dads!"

"Go easy on them later, don’t scare them to death. These sturdy young ones are good material for mining."

Rustle, rustle, rustle!

Huo Chang led the clan members charging swiftly within twenty zhang, the buzzing of bows and arrows sounding rapidly, arrows fletching quickly attacking the Blazing Flame Division.

"Hold firm!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The arrows fletching came with overwhelming force, piercing through shields in the blink of an eye, the sound of bone-piercing echoed, some clan members fell, but many gritted their teeth and moved forward with arrow wounds.

As the Upper Lake Tribe’s archers drew their bows for the second time, Huo Chang had already led the clan members running into ten zhang.

"Use the talismans!"

Huo Chang shouted loudly, threw down his shield, and pulled out a Witch Talisman from his chest, tearing it forcefully and throwing it forward.

’Sizzle’ ’Sizzle’

The clan members running behind the shields immediately tore open the prepared Witch Talismans and threw them out.

Out of more than 170 Witch Talismans, over a hundred were eventually thrown.

A Witch Talisman could produce a dozen water arrows.

As if from the sky, a rain of arrows formed and shot through with a splash.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Thump, thump, thump!

After closing the distance, even the Upper Lake Tribe had clan members rushing forward.

The dozens of figures charging at the forefront couldn’t stop their steps at all, directly colliding with the water arrows.

Thump, thump, pierced through feeling a chill in their hearts.

"Zheng!"

At this moment, a thunderous explosion erupted from afar.

The wind howled piercingly, breaking the air as it came.

At this moment, the Upper Lake Division Leader was shocked by the sudden appearance of the Witch Talismans’ rain of arrows, reacting too late.

A giant arrow carried his body and flew backward, crashing heavily into the Upper Huang Race’s mountain.

Rumble.

The mountain shook.

...

On the top of the Upper Huang Race’s mountain.

As the giant crossbow’s twang sounded, the Qiu Insect shivered, deftly curled into a ball of flesh and rolled towards the clan land below.

A hundred zhang away.

Huo Shan, who was intently aiming with his bow, suddenly widened his eyes once more.

The red dot suddenly... disappeared.
