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

Chapter 332 Taking on a disciple, Fei Yi!
The ferret's voice, echoed by the giant mountain, sounded like a sonic attack.

However, this 'attack' was not specifically targeted at anyone.

At the same time, from the giant mountain where the ferret beast lived, snow was falling heavily on the peaks of more than ten other enormous mountains in all directions.

After the snowflakes fell, crystal-clear, millennia-old ice appeared atop the giant mountain, shining brightly in the sunlight like a lighthouse.

Then, a colossal ice mountain array appeared, with countless ice runes blooming in the light.

"A grand formation! There's actually a grand formation here!"

Looking at the scene before him, Chi Huo Lu Wu was stunned. He and the Ferret Beast had been neighbors for many years.

It was even beaten up by the Ferret Beast back then, but when it was beaten up, the Ferret Beast didn't activate any special formations.

This gave Akahira Rikugo an idea.

"I don't even need a grand formation to beat you up."

Then, the ferret's ethereal voice rang out, and Chi Huo Lu Wu immediately roared angrily.

Yeah, I got angry for a moment.

The floating array at the summit of the giant mountain evolved into an enormous iceberg.

Countless shamanic inscriptions were carved on the iceberg, and the chill began to spread in all directions, covering the surrounding valleys and vegetation with ice shards.

Then, Chi Huo Lu Wu moved his lips and said, "Times have changed. Many more beings have beaten me up. Where do you rank?"

At the summit of the snow-capped mountain, the ferret's small mouth opened slightly, and its pupils changed from round to vertical, revealing a hint of astonishment.

Wait a minute, is this really the same Akahaki Rikugo we knew before?
Logically, after it said those words, Crimson Fire Lu Wu should have attacked the great formation.

Why has Akahiko Rikugo changed his personality after all these years?
Or is it because you've been beaten up too much?

Immediately, the ferret's gaze fell on Shen Can.

Shen Can came this time to meet Xue**, so naturally he didn't bring Kui Yang or Long E with him.

Instead, they placed Kuiyang and Long'e at the back and had Chihuo Luwu lead the way.

Be polite before fighting.

Upon seeing the ferret activate the Frozen Giant Mountain Formation, Shen Can felt that if the ferret had set up the formation, then it was even more worthwhile to win it over.

The Blazing Flame Clan has no shortage of beast kings who can fight and take a beating, but this is the first time they've encountered one that knows formations.

Of course, Shen Can wasn't trying to belittle Chi Huo Lu Wu; the fact that he could repeatedly escape danger despite being beaten was also a skill.

According to Chi Huo Lu Wu, since it went out to explore after advancing to the fifth rank, it has been beaten up no less than ten times, but it always manages to run away and come back. This cannot be simply attributed to luck.

"The temple of the Blazing Flame Lord in the Juyue Mountains is also skilled in point formation techniques."

Shen Can looked at the ferret and introduced himself first.

Then, he changed the subject, saying, "Your Frozen Giant Mountain Witch Formation has at least a hundred flaws."

Upon hearing this, the ferret's eyes widened in surprise.

"Human, don't think you can fool me with your alarmist talk. I have traveled to the human lands."

Seeing that the ferret had been agitated, Shen Can realized that his guess was pretty much correct.

The snow beast knows formations, so it's truly fortunate that Crimson Fire Lu Wu was able to escape after only taking a beating.

At this moment, Shen Can did not say that he would find a loophole for him and that he would have to submit to him.

He wanted to use his temple's charm to make the ferret submit.

The ferret, its mind aroused, realized that it seemed to be being led by the nose by the humans.

It immediately said, "You should barge in first, don't be another big, dumb idiot like that tiger cub."

Chi Huo Lu Wu, who hadn't spoken, got angry again.

If it had known back then that the ferret knew about formations, it wouldn't have come to spy on the ferret.

Shen Can arrived in front of the Frozen Giant Mountain Formation, and the chilling air rushed towards him like a wave.

The formation set up by the ferret beast is a dual formation that combines both defense and offense.

Boom!

As Shen Can approached, the ancient ice mountain formed above the formation began to glow with witchcraft, and chunks of cone-shaped ice rolled down from the mountain.

Each piece of ice was enough to crush a 'fifth-tier' great shaman like the old priest of the Holy Envoy Clan.

Shen Can didn't move, letting the ice fall from above and pass through his body.

The ferret suddenly stood up, its mouth opening and closing to emit a low whimper.

As the great formation transformed into a colossal icy mountain, a brilliant light shone forth, and millions of runes instantly turned into countless snowflakes, which were then swept up by the formation and transformed into a blizzard that swept towards Shen Can.

Even though they were far away from the formation, Chi Huo Lu Wu instinctively retreated.

The icy winds and blizzards generated by the great formation have the power to scrape bones and cut flesh, freezing and stopping bleeding while simultaneously cutting flesh and scraping bones.

But Shen Can only took a few steps forward and stepped into a gap in the cold wind and snow. No matter how violent the wind and snow were, they did not hit him.

Shen Can then entered the formation directly.

This startled the ferret.

This is a great formation that it has been studying for thousands of years. Compared to Chi Huo Lu Wu, who likes to go out and get beaten up, it prefers quiet and therefore doesn't go out much.

And studying formations became his pleasure.

Of course, it didn't comprehend the formation out of thin air; it initially obtained a formation scroll from outside.

After studying it, it discovered that the art of formations was as vast and profound as an abyss, which piqued its interest.

This massive ice mountain formation was the first formation set up by the ferret, and every so often, when it gained new insights into the principles of formations, it would improve the formation.

This formation now possesses the power of attack, defense, and containment.

At this moment, its proud array attack methods were completely useless against Shen Can.

No matter how intricate and elaborate the attack method, what's the use if it can't hit the target?

As for protective measures, Shen Can simply entered the formation.

The ferret rose into the air, and a stream of light flew out from its body, crashing into the giant ice mountain formed by the great formation.

In an instant, the colossal icy mountain fell from the sky, pressing down on Shen Can's head like a divine mountain bearing down.

As the mountain fell, endless cold winds swirled around it, and the shamanic runes on it shone brightly, as if divine inscriptions had been added to the mountain.

"town!"

The ferret gazed at the falling icy mountain with hope in its eyes; this was the final measure of the great formation.

Then, the hope in its eyes was shattered.

Shen Can stood in the middle of the formation, raised a finger, and gently held up the falling giant mountain.

In an instant, the wind and snow howled all around, but the ferret could not hear anything. Only Shen Can's finger held up its formation.

Shen Can gently lifted it up, and the fallen giant mountain returned to its position. In the void around him, streaks of witch runes lit up, revealing the witch rune structure at the bottom of the formation's operation.

Compared to the beastly aura emanating from Chi Huo Lu Wu, the ferret possessed more of agility and lacked that raw, bloodthirsty energy.

Shen Can immediately saw in the ferret's eyes a clarity reminiscent of that of a certain obedient person from his past life.

This is completely due to naivety.

Unlike Chi Huo Lu Wu, who has been beaten up many times and is now a seasoned veteran in the beast world.

Perhaps it is precisely because of its limited contact with the outside world that the ferret was able to set up such a fifth-order formation. To be honest, this formation is not weak. If Crimson Fire Lu Wu were to break in, he would most likely be sliced ​​into pre-cut pieces of meat and then rapidly frozen to preserve his freshness.

Then, Shen Can spoke up, "I possess the art of Mahayana formations. Would you be willing to learn it?"

The ferret's dim eyes lit up again. "You really want to teach me?"

"According to the rules of the human race, should I become an apprentice?"

Before Shen Can could answer, the ferret had already crouched down, saying, "Greetings, Master."

The ferret was truly convinced. The fifth-order array that it had spent so many years building was completely useless against Shen Can.

If Shen Can shattered the great formation with great power, it can only mean that he is even stronger.

To be able to disable such a powerful formation with such a seemingly effortless method, one can only imagine how profound Shen Can's mastery of formations must be.

The ferret's thinking was simple: why should it learn the secrets of the martial arts if it doesn't become an apprentice?

Seeing the ferret lying prone on the ground, Shen Can was surprised that things went so smoothly.

He immediately accepted a disciple of the Beast King.

That's too fast! The ferret has already bowed down, how can it possibly get up?
……

Outside the formation, seeing the ferret suddenly become Shen Can's disciple, Chi Huo Lu Wu shook his head, his eyes blazing with golden light.

Hehe, it's on par with Shen Can.

So what if we can't beat the ferret? According to the rules of the human race...

As a senior beast king of the ferret lineage, it has to give a proper greeting gift.

The time I got beaten up, I let it go as the younger generation playing around; as an elder, I don't hold grudges.

You win without lifting a finger.

So, Chi Huo Lu Wu rummaged through his collection and found that it was all fire-attribute stuff, which was a bit embarrassing to show off.

……

After the ferret got up, it led Shen Can into its den.

They discovered that the ferret's cave was completely empty, even more rudimentary than that of the Crimson Fire Lu Wu; it was simply a frozen crystal land.

“Master, I used to prefer quiet and would often study formations when I had nothing to do.”

As she spoke, the ferret also retrieved the array scroll that had led it into the array path.

Upon seeing this, Shen Can immediately felt that he had found a genius in formations.

He knows what kind of person he is; he's the type who works hard to improve himself. This ferret, on the other hand, is truly talented.

"Xiaomangshan Formation" is the name of the formation scroll that the ferret obtained. It introduces the basics of formations and more than 20 types of formations, of which only one is of the fourth rank, and it is an incomplete theoretical description.

After learning the third-order witch array on his own, he gradually comprehended the fifth-order witch array.

Shen Can prepared to give his newly accepted disciple a proper lesson.

Although he is the Beast King, he doesn't seem to have much contact with the outside world. He can be properly taught and instilled with the concept of respecting teachers and valuing the way, so that he can get closer to the human race.

……

Juyue Cave.

A secluded valley 30,000 miles from the jungle outside the cave.

The area is flanked by towering mountains, so even at midday, no sunlight shines through.

Deep in the valley, viscous black water bubbled and swarmed, with countless mosquitoes dancing on its surface.

In the dense grass on both sides of the river, the insect nests were piled up to a height of about ten feet.

Round, plump insects, exuding a faint aura of pestilence, crawled around.

A flapping sound of wings rang out, and a creature resembling a cat's head with a one-legged pig's tail flew down on its heels, opened its mouth and quickly pecked away a large number of plague insects before flying to the cliff face.

On the dimly lit cliff face, pale light flickered everywhere, the light emanating from the eyes of a large flock of tigresses resting there.

A whooshing sound rang out, and more creatures tiptoed in from outside the valley, quickly beginning to devour the plague worms.

As night fell, the black water in the valley below began to gurgle violently, and the eight-legged fat creatures emerged from the water, while the strange birds on the surrounding rock walls lowered their heads and cooed.

Hearing the cooing sounds, the Fei Yi's triangular eyes gleamed with an eerie light. Then, it spread its two pairs of wings and flew out of the secluded valley.

There are dozens of such places of habitation for the Fei Yi in the Juyue Mountains, with more than a dozen just around the underground caves.

The Giant Mountain Range is barren of energy, and as a notorious calamity beast in the Great Wilderness, it is now having a hard time.

Venturing out into the Giant Mountain is dangerous, but compared to other fifth-tier beast kings, he can conceal his aura.

As the king of plague beasts, it spreads plague wherever it goes as soon as it leaves the mountain, and ordinary birds, beasts, fish and shrimp die instantly upon contact.

As long as a living being investigates, the cause of death of these birds, beasts, fish, and shrimp can be determined.

It is naturally not afraid of the Juyue Mountains.

But once they are far away from the Giant Mountain Range, things are different. Once their whereabouts are exposed, they can easily be hunted by other races.

Although its body cannot be eaten, it can be used to refine special magical artifacts, which are highly sought after outside the Giant Mountain Range.

It's not that it looks down on that stupid Lu Wu; if you put the two of them together at the barter fair, it could sell them for the price of two Lu Wus.

At this moment, the eight-legged fat relic flew out of the secluded valley under the cover of night and circled the jungle outside the cave.

Life was tough, so I could only stay in this underground cave and see if I could find any bargains.

More than a hundred years ago, it almost captured the Crimson Fire Luwu, but unfortunately it failed and the Luwu escaped.

Otherwise, by simply devouring Lu Wu and then going into seclusion for several hundred years, it would be enough to advance to the mid-stage of the fifth rank.

Looking towards the cave from afar, unfortunately, apart from the eerie spirits flickering with faint light within the jungle, there was no other movement.

It's not easy to just wait for something to happen; you need to rely on luck.

Even if it encounters some, it dares not act, lest it be retaliated against.

Having found nothing after circling around, the Eight-Legged Fat Creeper headed towards its next hideout. In addition to scouting on its own, its minions, including the Plague-Heeled Insects and Plague-Birds, would also be scattered throughout the land as its eyes and ears.

……

At this moment, a million miles to the west of the underground cave, a flying boat is traveling through the mountains.

"This time I'm going to get my revenge!"

On the flying boat, the Crimson Fire Lu Wu perched on the bow, letting out a deep tiger roar.

On the back of the Crimson Fire Luwu, a tortoise shell was faintly visible, protecting most of its body.

This was specially installed by Shen Can for Lu Wu. This time, in order to lure Fei Yi out, Chi Huo Lu Wu was to act as bait and lead Fei Yi into the great formation.

Fei Yi must die; this guy has caused too much harm.

Especially now that the Human Alliance has launched a campaign against the Giant Mountain, the Plague Beasts are more eager for large-scale conquests.

If there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood, they would be overjoyed.

That's how the Fei Yi exploited the loophole in Yunhe Valley back then.

"Don't fight too hard. Just pretend you were seriously injured by the monster and escaped from the cave. Remember to bleed a little."

Seeing the high fighting spirit of Chi Huo Lu Wu, Shen Can gave him some instructions, "Once you trap it in the formation, you can use your Lu Wu True Fire to refine it."

Upon hearing Shen Can's description, Chi Huo Lu Wu's eyes lit up. "Awoo, I'm going to refine some beast oil for it to mix with rice!"
