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

Chapter 24 The Blazing Flame Division's Opportunity (Please continue reading)

Huo Xian felt he was getting old, but he probably hadn't reached the point of being senile yet.

He understood what the volcano was saying.

Ah-chan's talisman killed the strange bird.

Ah-Can drew the talisman right in front of him from beginning to end, and he... learned it!

Ah-Can has been with him for so long, and to be honest, he does have some talent in witch medicine.

Huo Xian searched through his experiences and memories over the past few decades, and finally felt that there seemed to be no reason to explain what was happening before his eyes except for the manifestation of his ancestors.

"It's all thanks to my master's excellent teaching."

Seeing that the cave had fallen silent, Shen Can spoke.

"Ah (ā)... Ah (à), yes, yes, Ah-chan has a talent for witchcraft. He actually found traces of witchcraft in the animal skin of the clan record that I gave him."

Huo Xian snapped out of his shock.

It wasn't that he really wanted to gain merit, but the Blazing Flame Tribe had a 300-year history, and even its shamanic tradition was incomplete, let alone its witchcraft tradition.

Therefore, a lineage of witchcraft must be created.

It's absolutely unacceptable to say that Shen Can just suddenly had a flash of inspiration and knew how to do it; that's absolutely wrong.

It's not about silencing the people within our own tribe, but about silencing the outsiders.

Hearing Huo Xian say this, Huo Tang felt relieved.

"Ah-Can, I want to send Volcano to other tribes to see if you have any more talismans to save his life."

The strange bird that controls the plague today really frightened him.

In that situation, with so many plague insects rushing towards him, if they broke through the barrier of the witchcraft's scent and bit him a few times, even if he was a Heavenly Vein Realm martial artist, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Now he finally understood how the Fushan tribe disappeared.

Furthermore, the seemingly simple burning was actually due to the tribe's improved shamanic medicine, which disoriented the plague insects, preventing them from attacking the tribespeople.

This is also the key to eradicating so many plague insects.

Shen Can took out four witch talismans from his pocket and handed them to Huoshan.

"Be careful when you're out and about, don't expose this to strangers, and make sure the others keep their mouths shut too."

The fire tree once again warned the volcano.

"I see."

The volcano receded quickly.

Huo Tang and Huo Xian both looked at Shen Can.

"Master, you know me. Maybe I really am a genius."

Shen Can thought for a moment, then decided he couldn't even be bothered to come up with a reason.

"We must be wary of the Upper Yellow Division," Huotang said.

"When the Upper Yellow Tribe launches an attack, Uncle..."

"Then give them a book of witchcraft. The witchcraft talismans are the result of my decades of research. What threat can an old man who is about to die pose?"

Shen Can also agreed with the remedial measures discussed by Huo Tang and Huo Xian.

It's always good to be prepared, even in times of peace.

Moreover, since it's for his own good, he can distinguish right from wrong.

Of course, Shen Can felt that there wouldn't be much of a problem in the short term.

The possessing plague worms that emerged from the Fushan tribe split into several groups.

The number of people in the Fushan tribe is about the same as that of their own tribe. Only three hundred people came from their own tribe, which means that there are more than 1,500 possessed plague insects wandering outside.

Previously, Shen Can suspected that the human being possessed possessed intelligence, which was why he was able to find the Blazing Flame Tribe.

Now it seems that it is mostly due to that strange bird, and the possessed humans are divided into several groups, with each group probably having such a strange bird.

Since they are targeting human tribes, and the Shanghuang tribe is not immune to the plague, why wouldn't the plague worms come knocking on their door?

Sulfur is much more powerful than Blazing Inflame, so it can't possibly have an improved witchcraft formula or a witchcraft talisman, right?

At this time, everyone was suffering from the plague, so no one had time to pay attention to the affairs of the Blazing Flame Tribe.

Huotang had also thought of this.

The area around the Blazing Flame Division is currently shrouded in plague, so the Upper Yellow Division should think twice before daring to come.

Right now, he's just rehearsing his statements to avoid any slip-ups later if problems arise.

……

"Uncle, I'm preparing to send someone to the Fushan tribe to retrieve some useful items."

"The things we brought back are temporarily stored in a cave a few miles away. We will decide whether to bring them back after the plague has passed."

After speaking, Huotang looked at Shen Can.

"Ah-Can, I'm leaving the clan to you."

This time, Huotang spoke very solemnly.

In his eyes, Shen Can was no longer a disciple of Huo Xian, but the true temple of the tribe.

Yes, and witches too.

After making the arrangements, Huotang hurriedly left.

"Ah-chan, the responsibility of the temple is truly entrusted to you this time."

Huo Xian got up and rubbed his arm. "But you've really gone too far in betraying your master and ancestors."

"If you had told me earlier that the talisman you conjured with your sudden inspiration was miraculous, would I have rushed out of the mountains to see the plague insects?"

"It's also my fault for getting old. I could clearly see the magical power in the talismans you drew, but I just didn't think of it as real witchcraft. My old eyes are failing, it's time for me to retire."

Shen Can fawned over Huo Xian, rubbing his arm. "Master, the situation was urgent, and I didn't know if the talisman I drew would work. Why don't you hit me a few times?"

"I can't fight anymore. They dare to tie up this old man even if they don't fight, but if they do fight, they'll probably send me to the altar."

Huo Xian hummed as he walked out of the ear piercing, and walked all the way to the entrance of the ancestral temple. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his suppressed lips.

"Thank you, Master. You are not as fortunate as your disciple. I have a good successor."

……

Even after the plague-possessed insects were eliminated, the Blazing Flame Tribe did not find peace.

As Shen Can had predicted, the clan members developed symptoms such as high fever the following day.

He directly selected several caves on the mountain, carved out a pool several meters in size inside each cave, and poured all the boiled medicinal soup into the pool.

Inside the cave, small ear holes were carved out, each large enough for a human to sit cross-legged.

To prevent the medicinal soup in the pool from cooling down, all the extra pots and cauldrons in the village were brought out and boiled continuously, with freshly boiled soup being poured in constantly.

All infected members of the tribe were placed inside and subjected to a dual treatment method of fumigation with witchcraft and oral administration of medicinal soup.

Huotang made significant moves, traveling to the Fushan tribe to relocate supplies and visiting other tribes to assess the situation.

Clearly, this is an attempt to snag a huge windfall after the plague-infested creatures have possessed them.

Three days later, when Shen Can came out of the quarantine and fumigation cave, he saw Huo Tang waiting for him.

"Ah Can, the first group of people who went to Fushan Tribe have returned. They brought back witch medicine, animal hide scrolls, second-tier beast meat, and so on. The task of expelling the plague from there is now in your hands."

"it is good."

Shen Can nodded in agreement.

"Ah-Can, if you can drive it away, do so; if not, just burn it down. If the tribe has these things, it will work; if not, it's fine too."

……

The things that the Fushan tribe brought back were placed in a cave on a small mountain five miles away from the tribe.

When Shen Can arrived, A Yu was following behind him.

By the way, Ah Yu has advanced to the Stone Splitting Realm.

Ayu carried a bamboo tube of animal oil, a bamboo tube of medicinal soup, a quiver of arrows, a wooden gun, and a torch of witchcraft in her hand, following closely behind Shen Can.

"Ayu, you're too close to me."

"Brother Can, the clan chief said you are physically weak and asked me to protect you."

Shen Can shrugged helplessly. He had told him many times that he didn't need to get so close.

But Ah Yu was a bit stubborn, and he took the first task the clan leader gave him very seriously.

Huo Tang originally intended to assign him a guard from the Kai Shan realm, but he refused and replaced him with A Yu instead.

"Ah... temple..."

"Uncle Mu, please call me by my old name."

Shen Can greeted Huo Mu, who was guarding the items.

"No, no, that won't do."

Huomu waved his hand.

Previously, Huo Mu viewed Shen Can as a junior member of the tribe. Even though he was with Huo Xian at the ancestral temple, he still had the intention of protecting the junior.

The battle to eradicate the plague insects can be won with the appearance of the sorcerer's talisman.

The mystery surrounding the shaman immediately overshadowed his understanding.

This is also the thought in the minds of many martial artists within the clan.

Upon entering the cave, Shen Can saw it was filled with all sorts of things, especially witchcraft medicine and animal meat.

Both the mountain-carrying and the scorching flames are the same, just like hamsters hoarding grain.

Unfortunately, they were unlucky; the food was still there, but the people were gone.

Furthermore, many tribes like Fushan will likely face similar situations where they die before they even have enough food.

"Uncle Mu, let's use our witchcraft recipe to fumigate it, but be careful not to set it on fire."

As he spoke, Shen Can began selecting medicinal herbs and lit them inside the cave.

For things tainted by the "plague," simply remove the "plague" completely.

If you're still worried, then fumigate it several more times and let it sit for a longer period of time.

When he returned to his clan's territory, some clansmen stopped him.

"Ah-Can, the clan chief is looking for you."

Shen Can nodded.

Since the appearance of the witch talisman, his status within the clan has been comparable to that of an elder in the past few days.

Huotang no longer casually gives him orders; instead, they discuss things together.

His clansmen now viewed him with awe and no longer treated him like a junior.

Upon arriving at the chieftain's cave, they discovered that a volcano was also present.

"Ah Chan".

Huotang greeted them, then looked at Huoshan and said, "Quickly tell A-Can."

"Ah-chan, this is what happened. I went to the Jishi tribe, but Jishi has been taken over by the plague-possessed insects."

However, the warriors of the Jishi tribe must have held out for a while, allowing some women, children, and other vulnerable individuals to escape.

At this point, Volcano winked and said, "Ah Can, you're not getting any younger. There are quite a few tribesmen without wives. Bringing the women and children of the Jishi tribe into the tribe will solve this big problem."

"Uncle Shan, I've secretly spotted several big-bottomed women for you, all of whom have given birth. I guarantee you'll be able to hold a baby next year."
