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

Chapter 90 Is this how barbarians do things?

"Solve your worries and solve your problems?"

Shen Can was somewhat surprised to hear that three wandering knights had arrived from outside the clan.

The wandering knights he encountered on this trip were all bad people.

However, since the word "knight-errant" is part of the character for knight-errant, we cannot condemn all knight-errants.

just in case……

Of course, the Ranger is still quite wealthy.

Whether something is good or bad, we should treat it well when it comes to us.

"Chieftain, all guests are welcome. Why don't I make the arrangements and treat them well?"

……

Outside the Blazing Flame Tribe.

"Luoxue, do you think this little tribe will be overjoyed to hear that we are coming?"

Bai Lang surveyed the territory of the Blazing Flame Tribe and began to speak with great interest.

Luo Xue did not respond, and was also looking around.

The remaining martial artists had stiff expressions and lowered their heads, seemingly lost in thought.

"Why aren't they coming out yet? These barbarian tribes really have no manners whatsoever."

After a while, Bai Lang saw that no one had come out to greet them yet, and he was quite dissatisfied.

Looking at Huo Xuan, who was guarding in front of them, he asked, "Is this how your small tribe treats its guests?"

“We heard you were having some trouble, so we came here specifically to lend a helping hand.”

"White nut".

Luo Xue spoke, her tone indifferent, and Bai Lang immediately shut his mouth.

From the direction of the clan's territory, Huotang led a group of clan soldiers outwards.

Standing outside the clan's territory, one can see the scene from above.

"laugh…"

Seeing the large, dark mass of people descending, Bai Lang sneered, "This little barbarian tribe is really something..."

He suddenly stopped talking, unable to think of a way to describe it for a moment.

"Chief Huotang of the Blazing Flame Clan, I was unaware of your arrival and have failed to greet you properly."

After arriving outside the clan with a group of people, Huotang took in the appearance of the three and immediately clasped his hands in greeting.

The three of them did indeed seem to possess a sharp edge.

You can't see anything if you look at it again.

"Chief Huo, you are too kind. We wanderers roam the world, going wherever the road takes us. We are just happy to have a meal here in your tribe."

Luo Xue nodded in acknowledgment. "These are my two friends, Bai Lang and Mu Ling Shan."

"Invite the three of you."

Huotang extended an invitation, and the tribal soldiers behind him made way for him.

Bai Lang glanced at Luo Xue.

The meaning is obvious. See if I'm right. What else can a small, uncivilized tribe do besides showing off a few people?

"Chief Huo, your tribe is as numerous as those of the superior tribes I saw in Ji.

Luo Xue was in front, followed by Bai Lang and the other two.

Upon entering the tribe's territory, they all began to scrutinize the Blazing Flame Tribe.

"How can they compare to the upper part? They are all scattered people gathered together after a natural disaster. They are incomparable."

The fire did not hide itself; its blazing heat and weakness were not a disgrace, but rather a matter of striving to catch up.

The group walked up the stone steps, through the rows of houses, and headed toward the clan hall.

Along the way, Shen Can suddenly appeared in a house and watched the group of people walk by.

As the two men and one woman walked past the fire, he released his divine sense beforehand and detected two putrid odors and one pure bloody odor emanating from them.

However, they were all well concealed, at least Huotang didn't smell it.

Shen Can immediately identified the woman among the three, who was the most heavily concealed.

Meanwhile, outside the Blazing Flame Clan's territory, a black bird flapped its wings and looked down, observing the waters and undulating terrain inside and outside the clan's territory.

Using the black bird under his control, Shen Can wanted to see if the three newcomers had any other helpers hiding outside the tribe.

However, after looking around, I didn't find anything.

Seeing that Huotang was about to lead the three of them to the spacious square outside the clan hall, Shen Can followed.

"Clan leader!"

Upon hearing the greeting, Huotang turned around and glanced at Shen Can.

"Please wait a moment, gentlemen. This is our clan's ancestral temple; there may be something amiss."

As Huotang walked towards him, Shen Can waved.

"Do it!"

Footsteps followed, surging in from all directions and quickly surrounding the plaza in front of the clan hall.

The sudden turn of events startled Luo Xue and the other two.

"What are you doing!"

Bai Lang shouted.

They wanted to fight, but they were surrounded by a dark mass of archers.

On the watchtowers on both sides, huge arrows as thick as an arm were visible, their gleaming cold light making him swallow hard.

"We came to help you because we heard that your tribe was in danger. Is this how you treat those who help you?"

Bai Lang cursed angrily, "Is this how you treat your guests? Barbarians, barbarians!"

Luo Xue looked around, feeling uneasy, wondering if she had been discovered somewhere.

"Chief Huo, if your tribe does not need our help, we can simply leave. Why be so tense?"

……

After the three were surrounded by the tribe's soldiers, Shen Can's senses returned to the black bird.

The clan temple is situated on high ground, making it easily visible from outside the clan's territory.

In other words, if these three had any helpers, they could see the three being surrounded from outside the clan's territory.

Unfortunately, the blackbird circled twice but didn't find anyone.

……

Seeing that the three of them were surrounded without saying a word, Bai Lang's anger surged.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Upon hearing Bai Lang's words, Shen Can didn't even step forward, saying, "Surrender or die!"

He had no idea what this guy was thinking, that he actually came to him.

Even if they have nothing to do with the tragic events that happened in the tribe before, the aura emanating from these three people is definitely not that of good people.

The source of this putrid stench can only be found in those who betray their ancestors and worship animal deities.

……

Upon hearing this, Luo Xue and the other two changed color.

The three huddled together, slowly turning around, trying to find an opening to break through the encircling tribal soldiers.

"When I get out, I will make sure this tribe is covered in bones."

Before Bai Lang could finish muttering, he heard a voice that chilled him to the bone.

Zheng!
The giant crossbow rang out, and the bolt pierced the air. The three men instinctively scattered, and the bolt struck the open ground between them, its fletching deeply embedded in the earth.

I admit defeat!

Mu Lingshan raised his hands and surrendered without hesitation.

I shouldn't have come with those two self-important idiots. Now look what happened, they've delivered themselves to our doorstep while no one else can catch them.

Zheng!
Another clanging sound rang out, and the crossbow bolts flew towards Bai Lang.

Bai Lang drew his knife and slashed forward fiercely. The blade collided with the crossbow bolt, producing a clanging sound. He then sidestepped the bolt.

"puff!"

Before he could react, he was struck hard in the buttocks and an arrow pierced his waist, the arrowhead protruding diagonally from his stomach.

More arrows rained down, covering the three men in a thick layer of bloody aura. They used their swords and sabers to continuously deflect the incoming arrows.

After knocking down three or five arrows, and using their blood energy to block three or five more, the blood energy could not cover all the areas that were not covered. Before long, each person had more than a dozen arrows on them.

They tried to rush out, but the three giant crossbows stood high above them.

Whoever runs away, we'll stab them to death.

"Stop! We admit defeat!"

Luo Xue screamed in panic.

At such close range, who could withstand a giant crossbow bolt?

If the three of them lined up, they would make a perfect string.

Before coming, I had imagined either being led into the tribe or being turned away, but I never expected to be led into the tribe and then brutally murdered.

Bai Lang fell to the ground, clutching his stomach. The arrow that had pierced his buttocks sent a tingling sensation through him.

His heart was filled with hatred, but his words were utterly sincere. "Spare me!"

……

Soon, all three were tied up.

Based on the experience gained from the previous detention of the Fu, all three received equal treatment.

They were detained inside a cave.

Shen Can carefully examined the three people who were tied up, one by one.

He couldn't understand why someone would personally deliver themselves to his door.

"what are you doing!"

Seeing Shen Can's hand reaching towards her face, Luo Xue tried her best to tilt her head away.

"Bah!"

The next moment, Shen Can pulled the ground down with his palm, and a scream rang out.

"what!"

Luo Xue wanted to cover her face, but found that she couldn't move her hands at all.

Once the mask-like face was torn off, it quickly lost its luster and shrank to the size of tree bark.

Looking at Luo Xue again, a face that was mostly rotten was revealed, along with wrinkles piled up on her neck.

"Luoxue, you!"

This scene was witnessed by Bai Lang, who immediately shouted.

I suddenly felt unwell.

"So you need to keep sucking the doll's blood just to maintain this facade."

After examining the painted skin with blood-stained patterns inside, Shen Can confirmed that this woman was the murderer who killed the dolls in the settlement.

"I'm curious, what are you thinking, causing trouble outside while pretending to help me with Zhiyan?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. We're wandering knights here to help you, you..."

boom!
"what!"

Shen Can landed his foot, and Bai Lang's leg snapped.

Bai Lang gasped for breath, his eyes filled with terror. He still didn't know how they had been exposed.

This plan is correct.

What could a small, uncivilized tribe possibly know? They're just here to eliminate evil and protect the righteous.

It's impossible for a small tribe to have someone who could see through them.

The only unexpected thing was that they were actually exposed.

"Interrogate the three of them separately. Whoever can't explain clearly, let them have some fun."

Shen Can checked the three men and was relieved to find that none of them had the strength to resist. He then walked out of the cave where they were being held.

……

"Ah Can, no wonder you said the wandering knights are rich."

"No wonder you're from a big city. Look at these weapons; they're all forged from the finest ore."

Everything on the three wandering knights had been cleaned up, and Huotang checked them one by one.

Two ring-pommel swords, one eight-sided sword, one powerful bow, and one quiver of arrows—all top-tier level three items.

"Look at this."

Huotang handed Shen Can two animal hides, which, when unfolded, depicted a strange beast with a coiled snake body and a dragon's whiskers and a loach's head.

The entire portrait was painted with blood-gold ink, especially the pair of small eyes, which have a captivating quality.

"This is the beast of the worship master, and it carries the image of the worship master with it. It seems that these three people all believe in this wild beast."

"Oh right, take another look at this. When I caught it, I felt it could be used for cultivation, but it also looks a bit like ore."

Huotang handed a stone, no bigger than a child's fist, to Shen Can.

The stone has several colors, and you can tell that some parts are minerals.

Shen Can picked it up and took a look. Sure enough, he felt that the stone contained an energy that could help him improve his blood and qi.

Now he understood that this must be something similar to spirit stones or elemental stones.

After playing with the stone for a while, Shen Can thought for a moment and said, "Chieftain, I think the detention cave should be relocated and rebuilt into a dungeon, otherwise the place is too small."

"You mean you want to capture other wandering knights as well?"

"We don't capture them all. These stinking creatures that were used for sacrificial beasts bring shame to our ancestors. It's better to capture them and bring them to our tribe so they can realize their value in life."

Huotang doesn't understand what the value of life is.

He only felt that the weapons in front of him were very good, and the stones that could be used for cultivation were also very good.

By the way, the wandering knight has traveled all over the country and seen a lot. What he knows is also what the tribe needs.

"Ah Can, you're right. Doing it this way will not only bring us benefits, but also enhance our reputation."

Huo Tang thought of the two destroyed tribes mentioned in the message from Cang Niao. If Zhi Yan hadn't had some strength, he would have followed in the footsteps of those two tribes.

"I remember when Fu said that to become a superior tribe, one not only needed to be proficient in martial arts, witchcraft, and ritual implements, but also needed to have a certain reputation."

……

Before it even got dark, Huo Qi and Huo Kui, who were in charge of the interrogation, brought back the results of the interrogation.

"Chieftain, Temple Master, the problems that have plagued the tribe these past few days were indeed caused by these three guys."

Huo Tang glanced at the messy interrogation records and was rather speechless.

"Ah Can, Ah Qi, do you think I, the clan chief, am stupid?"

A moment of silence fell over the ancestral hall.

"Ahem..." Shen Can broke the silence, "Look at these wandering knights, they create their own conditions for cultivation when they don't have them. This kind of spirit is worth learning from."

"Those three damn guys are messing with me." Huo Tang slammed the record animal skin on the table speechlessly.

He felt that if it weren't for Ah-chan, the shaman, his tribe might have actually been tricked.

Is this how the wandering knights of Yongyi operate?

Speechless.

"A-Kui, continue the interrogation and make them spill everything they know—the matter of Yongyi, the matters of the wandering knights, and the matters of the blood witch servants."

"Let them tell us about the Yanran tribe in Ji."

At this moment, Shen Can spoke up, saying, "Clan leader, you could go and learn about the Yanran tribe."

"A hundred years ago, we were unknown. In the past hundred years, we have attacked Xiaoyang in the north, protected the region, and risen to become a superior tribe. Now we are only one step away from becoming a Bo tribe."

"With such vivid examples right in front of us, we should learn from them. It's better to learn from others than to drown ourselves."

"Yanran Tribe".

Huotang muttered to himself, "Okay, I'll go learn it now."

……

"Are all barbarian tribes this reckless?"

Bai Lang felt the sticky honey on his body, and a few bright red fire ants still lingering on him; he was numb with pain.

Not only does my body ache, but my heart aches too.

That wretched woman, Luo Xue… He couldn’t think about her anymore.

Just then, footsteps sounded, and Huotang walked in.

Bai Lang shuddered, "What are you going to do?"

"How much do you know about the Yanran tribe of Ji?"

Why are you asking about the Yanran tribe?

Bai Lang was taken aback, then realized something: could this small tribe be trying to emulate Yan Ran?

These barbarian tribes are overestimating themselves. Laughable...

Just as he was about to unleash a sarcastic remark, he immediately realized that he was a prisoner.

"what!"

"I said."

……

That night, Huotang interrogated three captured wandering knights in the detention cave, and emerged the next day refreshed and in high spirits.

Inside the ancestral temple.

Shen Can got up early and, as usual, swept and cleaned the ancestral temple, wiping the nine tripods and eight sacrificial vessels.

He felt the nine tripods and eight vessels growing even warmer.

"Ah Chan!"

Huotang rushed into the ancestral temple, excitedly exclaiming, "I..."

"clang!"

A wave of sound, like the ringing of a bell, resounded, shaking the entire ancestral temple.

A warm, gentle light emerged from the nine tripods and eight sacrificial vessels, piercing through the mountains and rocks like a beam of light and shadow, sweeping outwards.

At this moment, the tribespeople had just gotten up to prepare for a busy day, and some babies had already run out and stuck their butts out to urinate.

Suddenly, the little naked body wobbled and peed all over itself.
