After a century of worship, I became the ancestor of the tribe.

Chapter 326 The Old Tree Sacrifice to the Spirit!

At this moment, the blood energy circulating in the suspended ape also came to a standstill.

His eyes were lifeless, and his spiritual power emerged from his skull, constantly radiating outwards.

Sensing the past, the consciousness of the Overturned Water Ape was extremely chaotic, as if it had lost its sense of self.

The Kui Niu leader was stunned for a moment, and then its massive body trembled.

It first heard Shen Can shout, "Do you dare to answer?"
Then, Shen Can's eyes shone with divine light, and then the Overturned Water Ape was like that.

This is a beast king of the same realm as it.

Shen Can's divine sense was incredibly fast, and the Kui Niu leader, who was preparing to fight the Fushui Mountain Ape at the time, couldn't detect the specific situation at all.

For a moment, I felt both confused and impressed.

"Let's go help Elder Kuiyang first."

Shen Can stabilized the turbulence in his blood and qi, but the supernatural power that had suddenly appeared was still too crude.

Shen Can wasn't quite sure how much of the fragmented divine consciousness he had projected onto the old ape this time. In short, only a portion of the memories accumulated in his divine sea had surged up, and he was already finding it difficult to withstand.

The leader of the Kui Niu led Shen Can in another direction, and the Long Crocodile dragged its broken body to the front of the Fushui Mountain Ape.

Seeing the mountain ape hovering in mid-air, looking dazed, he couldn't help but shudder at his body, which was covered in blood and had exposed bone spurs.

"Dragon Ancestor above, the human race is too terrifying."

Shen Can's slap earlier shattered its dragon bones.

Dragon Crocodile knew very well that if they were not convinced, these Taoist priests would be eating dragon soup before tonight.

As a long-time neighbor, it had no intention of coming out from the chrysanthemum of the Kui Niu.

……

Kui Yang and Chi Huo Lu Wu joined forces to deal with a Fei Ling Dragon Insect, a wild beast whose body was covered with dragon scale patterns.

Its massive body resembled a mountain range, enveloped in a mysterious light formed by the source of water energy, making it extremely powerful in defense.

Its body was the magical weapon of this Feiling Dragon Insect. Its long body emerged from the water and swept out like a whip, breaking through the flames and sending the Crimson Fire Lu Wu flying.

Lu Wu roared in anger. It had been beaten up before, and it was beaten up again this time. Had it been cultivating for nothing all these years?

Roar!
With a tiger's roar, the sound waves exploded, creating a sky full of water vapor. Crimson Fire Lu Wu spat out a fiery sun, within which Lu Wu's divine form roared.

The moment the blazing sun shone in the sky, all the water vapor in the air was instantly evaporated, and the waters within a radius of hundreds of miles began to boil.

The fiery sun slammed into the Feiling Dragon Insect, exploding into blazing flames.

It screamed in pain as its massive body was nearly crushed by the fiery sun, and a strong aroma of meat wafted from the point of impact.

Kuiyang seized the opportunity, and the sound of heavenly drums arose from his feet as he stepped down on the Feiling Dragon Worm, instantly stomping on its body.

The dragon worm cried out in pain and tried to run away, but part of its body was stepped on by Kui Yang.

With a tearing sound, the dragon worm's half-body, which had been smashed by the fiery sun, completely broke off from its main body, and thick dragon blood flowed out.

Without pausing, the dragon worm shrank to a size of several meters, dragging its mangled body away, leaving behind a worm body about a third of its length, which twisted and swayed violently at Kui Yang's feet.

"Chase it! Don't let this bug get away! It might have the ability to regenerate from its severed body!"

"Rebirth after a severed body?"

Shen Can was stunned; this ability was somewhat heaven-defying.

Chase!
Unfortunately, after chasing them for tens of thousands of miles, even though there were traces of blood on the water, the Fei Ling Dragon Insect still managed to escape.

When they returned, the part of the dragon worm's body that had fallen off was still writhing. As blood gushed out from the broken wound, the flesh was slowly wriggling.

"The Flying Spirit Dragon Insect is very rare. I only heard about it once in the Zhangshui Dragon Kingdom. I never thought I would actually encounter it."

Kuiyang opened its mouth, saying that it had traveled all over the country and had even drunk water in the Dragon Kingdom.

This dragon-worm is the offspring of a dragon and a certain insect. Only a very small number of descendants, whose bloodlines mutate and combine the hidden talents of both races, possess this ability.

Kuiyang only realized that this was probably a Feiling Dragon Worm with the ability to regenerate severed limbs after seeing the dragon worm abandon its body and leave.

At this moment, the wound on the remaining half of the insect continued to wriggle, and the speed at which the injury healed was astonishing. However, it soon stopped wriggling, and the wriggling gradually decreased.

"Senior, could you give me this insect corpse? My clan is willing to exchange it for a fifth-grade precious pill."

Even though they are allies, Shen Can can't just take advantage of them for nothing; a leader like that can't last long.

"Take it and take it."

Seeing the dragon worm's remains fading away, Kuiyang lost interest, indicating that its judgment was somewhat incorrect.

Fifteen minutes later, the dragon worm's remains stopped moving, but its flesh and blood still retained a great deal of vitality.

Shen Can put it into his magic bag, feeling that he could take it back to his clan to study it, which might be helpful for making magic pills in the future.

The dragon-crocodile, dragging its broken body, shrank back in the distance, wanting to come closer but not daring to. Its wounds made it constantly bar its teeth, but it dared not heal its injuries.

Seeing the Kui Niu leader looking over, the Dragon Crocodile shrank back. Even without the witch array to trap it, these fifth-tier beings in front of it could easily deal with it.

"Oh, right, there's also a Water-Overturning Mountain Ape."

When everyone returned to where the mountain ape had been, they found that the old monkey was still suspended in mid-air, as if it were wandering in a dream.

However, the fluctuations of divine consciousness emanating from within his body became even more chaotic.

A mountain ape that has lost its way.

"How about we move back to the clan's residence first?"

Finally, the Kui Niu chieftain carried the Fushui Mountain Ape on his back and returned to the Kui Niu tribe's territory.

After returning, Shen Can rebuilt the Northern Dark Water Formation for the Kui Niu Clan.

Not to mention that the Kui Niu tribe could not go to the Juyue Mountains with him as a whole, even if they wanted to go, Shen Can would have some of them stay behind.

The land of the Kui Niu tribe cannot be abandoned. Although it is close to the Dragon Kingdom, it is far from the Xuan Niao.

Shen Can plans to build a torch fortress here, both to prevent the Juyue Mountains from being defeated by the Xuan Bird and to leave a torch for humanity.

……

After returning to the Kui Niu tribe's territory, Shen Can did not rush back to the Zhi Yan Bo tribe, mainly because he needed to rest and recuperate.

Having just broken through to the fifth-tier Great Witch level, he now has to recover from his injuries, which is quite unfortunate.

It was Shen Can's own fault for not being able to control the "All-Spirit Dementia Technique" he used.

The establishment of the altar and the sea of ​​gods provided a place to house the memories he had deduced over the years, but these memories were too profound.

Such memories, as deep as an abyss, would be difficult for even a sixth-order being to bear, let alone a fifth-order being.

Shen Can guessed that his ability to bear it might be related to his deduction, but bearing it is one thing, turning so many memories into a divine sense attack is not so easy.

A fifth-order divine sense is still far from sufficient to control memories spanning hundreds of millions of years.

The supernatural power that suddenly appeared during the breakthrough process has been proven feasible after its first demonstration.

Next, it's about gradually working out the right approach, so that you can't unleash your full potential and end up killing a thousand enemies while suffering eight hundred casualties yourself.

That would be excessive self-harm, causing you to cough up blood every time.

While recovering from the internal turmoil, Shen Can also came into contact with the Overturned Water Mountain Ape.

Unfortunately, this old ape may have really been beaten into a state of dementia.

For several days, he stood in the Kui Niu Cave, appearing dazed, his eyes lifeless and his emotions chaotic. Divine senses could penetrate the old ape's brain and perceive countless fragments of memory.

The key issue is that these fragments are still chaotic; when Shen Can uses them, he doesn't release them in the deduced order.

Instead, it shattered all these memories, leaving fragmented images and a complete mess.

The ape that overturned the water was only mentally impaired, not insane, which was already considered a good performance.

So many fragments of memory flooded into the soul of the Fushui Mountain Ape, overwhelming and diluting its own memories.

Now, between the two sets of memories of the Water-Covered Mountain Ape, there are hundreds or even thousands of messy deductions.

In this situation, it would be somewhat difficult for the ape to reconnect its memories.

……

"This journey north to Yongyi is going to be a bit difficult."

Kuiyang planned to take several Kui Niu north with him, so he selected four peak fourth-tier and six late fourth-tier Kui Niu from within the tribe.

Now, he also has to carry a mentally challenged fifth-tier Water-Overturning Mountain Ape and a Dragon Crocodile that hasn't fully recovered from its injury.

If this trip is discovered by the Blackwater Dragon General's Mansion, it could easily attract a hunt by the dragon clan.

Even if they weren't discovered by the Dragon General's Mansion, the journey was long and arduous, passing through many fifth-tier beast king territories, making them quite conspicuous.

The Kui Niu that Kui Yang brings can greatly enhance the strength of the Zhi Yan Bo tribe and the alliance, so it's still worth bringing it along.

Next, in order to establish communication with the Kui Niu, it would be best to establish a safe route.

Shen Can compared the route he took from the Juyue Mountains with the route from Kuiyang to Yongyi and devised a route to return north to the Zhiyan tribe.

This route largely references the path from Kuiyang to Yongyi, mainly because the Kuiyang route is frequently traveled and therefore more reliable.

This trip to find the Kui Niu clan has been very fruitful.

They met the Marquis of Yongshan and learned the route to Huaishan, the origin of the Yongyi people.

He obtained the ancient texts and cultivation techniques left behind by the Marquis, and used them to break through to the fifth-order Great Witch Realm.

After capturing the dragon crocodile, they reconnected with the Kui Niu.

There was also a Fushui Mountain Ape that was currently in a state of dementia. Shen Can went to great lengths to communicate with it, and finally managed to get the Fushui Mountain Ape to use its physical supernatural powers to transform into a three-foot-tall ape.

The ape that had been submerged in water was dealt a blow by his immature supernatural power, and whether it could recover would really depend on time.

As for whether his soul has been damaged, Shen Can cannot guarantee it now.

Shen Can brought it back to the Juyue Mountains mainly because he felt that even if the mountain ape was crippled, it could still be used as a clone.

For now, I'll keep them alive as test subjects for the All-Spirit Dementia Technique. After they've served as beasts of burden for a while, we'll talk about creating clones.

In this way, if the Kui Niu clan also used their physical supernatural powers, they could all shrink to a small size and become inconspicuous on their journey.

Shen Can and Lu Wu went ahead to scout the way, while Kui Yang led the Kui Niu clan, along with the injured dragon crocodile and the mentally challenged mountain ape, to bring up the rear. The group of people and beasts began their journey north.

……

Southern foothills of the western part of the Juyue Mountains.

Yan Song, along with five other figures, emerged disheveled from a swamp.

There was a rustling sound from the mud behind, with muddy water churning up and something seemingly moving around underneath.

Muddy water kept exploding, and dark figures flicked their tails, opened their mouths with sharp fangs, and spat out mouthfuls of black, viscous substance.

These figures chased the swamp to its edge before stopping and letting out a low growl.

Finally, unwilling to give up, it retreated into the depths of the swamp.

Whoosh!

"Finally it's out!"

Several figures arrived at the foot of a mountain, quickly carved out a cave, and went inside.

Yan Song took out a formation and disguised it at the entrance of the cave.

"Everyone, take a rest first. Amu will treat your injuries."

The figure known as Amu was dressed in a tight-fitting wizard's robe. He was a fourth-tier great wizard who was skilled in pharmacology and also had some knowledge of formations.

On this trip to the Mujiang tribe, he accompanied them as a shaman.

There were eight of them, and their whereabouts are now unknown. Three of them have already perished along the way.

After setting off from the Zhiyanbo tribe, they traveled westward along the Juyue Mountains. At first, it was relatively safe, but when they emerged from the mountains and began heading southwest, danger struck unexpectedly.

The swampy lands were nothing to worry about; their flying boats were long gone. Flying too high would attract the attention of birds of prey, and flying too low would attract the attention of beasts.

Yan Song sat down cross-legged, took out a piece of animal skin paper and began to record the group's route. He also made a detailed record of how they had taken two days to cross the swamp, wondering if they could bypass the swamp next time.

"Beyond the mountains are more mountains, beyond the forests are more forests, teeming with wild beasts that blot out the sky. We've been gone for almost a year now."

The group whispered among themselves, while someone took out dry rations and wine from the shaman's bag and began distributing them.

They were well-prepared with supplies and cultivation resources for this trip. Any witch medicine they encountered along the way was turned into witch pills by Yan Mu, who was traveling with them.

While battling wits and courage against wild beasts, they also cultivated by consuming witch medicine. Although the quality of the witch medicine was not high, the quantity was large.

As a result, his cultivation speed was significantly faster than when he was in Yongyi.

"Silence! There's movement!"

Everyone immediately held their breath and focused. They had encountered many ferocious beasts while traveling through the primeval forest, and had long since developed a habit of vigilance.

……

In the distant jungle beyond the hill, a large, grayish-white python raised its head high and slithered rapidly across the ground.

The giant python emitted a white light, with scattered magical runes flashing on its body, and an old man stood on it.

He wore a feathered robe, a headdress made of animal bones, and his wrinkled face was painted with colorful paint.

He rode the giant python to the edge of the swamp, and after observing it for a while, his expression changed slightly.

“Go back, something has emerged from the swamp.”

After riding the giant python for over a hundred miles, the old man entered a human tribe built against the mountain.

In the center of this human tribe, there is an old tree with bark like dragon patterns. The old tree is gnarled and twisted, more than a hundred feet tall, with lush branches and leaves.

The old tree was covered with bird feathers, strips of hemp cloth, and vines, which swayed in the wind.

Many humans worship under the tree and offer their hunted prey to this old tree.

"The priest is back."

When the old man riding the giant python returned to the tribe, he immediately landed under the old tree.

“Something just emerged from the swamp to the east. For the safety of the tribe, from now on, all warriors in the tribe must be on high alert.”

At this point, the old man raised his hands and shouted, "The Tree Ancestor will protect us!"

Upon hearing this, the clansmen who had gathered around knelt down one by one and began to worship the old tree.

Their devout expressions were ingrained in their very being.
