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

Chapter 53 The Power of Sixty Desolate Elements and the Power of Seventy-Five Desolate Elements!

Upper part of the sulfurous region.

Inside a massive cavern beneath the Zudi Mountains, a wrecked ship lies moored in the water.

The hull has been mostly repaired, but the patchwork looks rather ugly.

At the fracture site, the longitudinal main keel has been carved with mortise and tenon joints and is waiting for suitable keel timbers to be assembled.

Looking at the patched-up hull, Kamishirobe Shrine was filled with excitement.

Chieftain Huang Yun strode over.

"What happened?"

The old temple shrine frowned but did not speak.

"The sulfur stone has returned from the market, but the Upper Lake tribe does not agree to the exchange of goods after the annual sacrifice."

"They said the amount of crude iron could be delayed, and that we could add three more suits of armor."

"Impossible! This is a witch soldier!" the old temple keeper exclaimed anxiously.

"You know how difficult it is to master witchcraft. We don't know how many years it will take us to create witch weapons."

How could he not know about sulfur?

Witchcraft is too difficult!

The temple shrine murmured thoughtfully, "At most, one set of armor. Otherwise, we won't do this exchange. I refuse to believe we can't find ironwood elsewhere!"

It should be noted that they traversed mountains and forests, employing two thousand warriors and able-bodied men to find twenty-seven witch knives and fourteen sets of leather armor.

In exchange for ironwood, in addition to 10,000 jin of thick iron, nine sets have already been built.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Shui Miao myself."

Huang Yun said bitterly, "Back then, we made our people wear armor for safety on the road, but that old bastard Shui Miao took a liking to it. I think the rough iron was just a pretense; they just wanted more armor."

"But if we hadn't been wearing armor, we would have almost been wiped out in the market. Those are not people to be trifled with."

Then, Huang Yun looked at the two giant crossbows at the stern of the ship, his eyes filled with excitement.

With this, hunting third-tier wild beasts will be much easier.

It was all worth it to repair this ironwood boat.

"I will personally go and negotiate this time, and I must bring back the ironwood dragon bone."

The most important part of a ship is its keel. Since they don't have the ability to build new ships, they can only do their best to repair existing ones.

"Uncle, we've missed several opportunities in the past few centuries. This time, we must seize them."

"Once the boat is repaired, we will move our clan's territory to the eastern marshland."

The abundance of fish, shrimp, crabs, and beasts in the water allows the tribe to achieve greater development and gives them the opportunity to compete with the other tribes to the south for a share of the market.

The old temple ancestor also had aspirations in his eyes. If he could hunt more third-tier wild beasts, why would he have to worry about not increasing the clan's strength?

"Uncle, there's no time to lose, I'll set off immediately."

……

The Blazing Flame Section.

The ship's hull, which had been moved back, was placed inside a large cave that had been temporarily dug out.

Four skeletons, six giant crossbows and witch arrows, three witch knives, four wooden bows, and more than a hundred feet of animal sinew ropes were found.

The ship's interior was covered with densely packed, deformed witchcraft, which delighted Shen Can. He thought it would save him a lot of lifespan.

But after a careful examination, he became somewhat unhappy.

The inside of the wrecked ship wasn't bad, it was fucking good.

The damage isn't severe, which means it can be repaired, but the bigger problem lies in the upper part of the body.

He is a sorcerer, and in the current situation, the more difficult it is to repair, the better it will be for him.

On the bow deck, there was a giant crossbow, about two zhang in size.

Fu told him that there were three giant crossbows on this kind of ironwood boat, one in front and two in the back.

In other words, there are two Tier 3 giant crossbows on the rear half of the hull of the upper section.

What does that mean?

With the repaired ironwood ship and the Heavenly Vein Warriors, the combat strength of the Upper Yellow Division doubled.

With boats and giant crossbows, the next step will inevitably be hunting in the eastern swamp.

The Great Swamp to the east was also a place that the Blazing Flame Tribe had their eye on.

If this continues, a fight will break out sooner or later.

A few days later, Fire Monkey returned with the news.

"Did the clan leader go to the Copper Shell Market?"

"Yes, the chieftain followed the people from the Shanghuang tribe."

"We can't catch up now." Huo Xian saw that there was no other way, so he walked to the ancestral shrine and began to chant silently.

"Don't worry, Temple Master, the clan chief has brought his magic knife and magic talismans."

Shen Can was slightly relieved.

After thinking about it, he felt more and more that it was related to the ironwood boat.

"Brother Hou, next you take some men to the vicinity of the sunken ship hill and keep watch to see if the Shanghuang tribe will show up again."

Furthermore, arrange for people to guard the road between Shanghuang and us, to prevent Shanghuang from launching a surprise attack.

The pit dug in the sunken hill cannot be filled in a short time. Once the Upper Yellow Division comes to dig again, they will find it, and at that time, the whole clan will surely search for it. They might even come to offer warmth to the Blazing Flame ahead of time.

After the fire monkey left, Shen Can also got up and walked towards the outside of the ancestral temple.

He was still hesitant a couple of days ago, but now it seems he has to make preparations in advance.

Even if the Blazing Flame Tribe doesn't migrate, he doesn't believe that the Upper Yellow Tribe, now stronger, will let the Blazing Flame go.

There are not many tribes left nearby. Zhiyan's tribe of three thousand people is nearby, like prey in the mouth of a wild beast.

The reason the wild beasts aren't eating now isn't because they've switched to a vegetarian diet, but because they're not hungry for the time being.

The normal approach is to kill the men and then devour the women and children.

Shen Can found Huo Qi, who was leading young men to learn martial arts.

"Uncle Huoqi, you will need to lead the hunting team out to try to bring back a live sacrifice for the ancestors each time."

The reason for sending Huoqi to hunt is to obtain lifespan and meat.

Lifespan: 1343

During this period, apart from the daily deduction of witchcraft texts, my lifespan was not depleted quickly.

Having more lifespan reserves can also be useful, and beast meat can be used by the clansmen for cultivation.

In the days that followed.

Shen Can cleans the ancestral temple every morning and practices Kui Niu Fist to improve his martial arts skills after breakfast.

Then, they spent the morning drawing shamanic symbols to be used as a reserve for the clan.

In the afternoon, they interrogated Fu, and in the evening, they prepared anesthetic powder and healing potions.

The newly drawn shamanic symbols are actually water control techniques.

The number of the 3,000 members of the Blazing Flame Tribe is no match for the 8,000 or 9,000 members of the Upper Yellow Tribe. Shen Can plans to use witch talismans to make up for the gap.

The tribe once again indulged in eating meat freely, as the abundant millet harvest from before was enough to keep the remaining tribespeople from going hungry.

In addition, he and Huoshan directly ate the meat of a third-tier wild beast.

In addition to his training, Shen Can also added an archery course to his curriculum.

Two months later.

Huotang returned, and the tribesmen on guard outside almost didn't recognize him.

Is this the family patriarch?

Inside the ancestral temple.

Huotang held the large bowl with both hands and slurped up the meat soup.

His face was covered in calluses, his lips were cracked, and his eyes were bloodshot.

After finishing the large pot of meat soup, Huotang leaned comfortably against the rock wall.

"The Shanghuang tribe has exchanged two ironwood logs, each over ten feet long, which confirms that they were used to repair the ironwood ship."

"Once the boat is repaired, they will inevitably go to the Great Swamp to hunt, which will coincide with our plan to relocate our clan to the Great Swamp."

At this moment, Shen Can spoke up: "What does the clan leader intend to do? If you are willing to give it up, we can migrate our tribe to the west and give the Great Swamp to them."

Huotang, leaning against the rock wall, unconsciously waved his hand.

"No!"

Having finally acquired the means to hunt third-tier wild beasts, they saw hope for the tribe's development.

It hasn't been touched yet.

The threat came first.

How could Huotang be content with this!

"Ayu, go and call Uncle Volcano over."

Seeing this, Shen Can said, "Clan leader, wait for me a moment, I'm going to get something from my ear piercing."

……

Inside the west ear hole.

Shen Can picked up a bow and gently pulled it.

The bowstring is at its fullest.

This is a level 60 Wilderness Bow, remade using a shaman bow unearthed from a shipwreck and animal sinews.

Priest: Shen Can

Martial Arts Realm: Seventy-Five Desolate Power

After consuming third-tier wild beasts within two months, the effects of his cultivation have been further enhanced.

If he truly had no confidence, Shen Can would have already dragged the Blazing Flame Division away.

Hearing the commotion inside the East Ear Cave, he grabbed his bow and walked over with a rolled-up animal skin tucked under his arm.

"Chieftain, try this bow." Shen Can tossed the wooden bow to Huo Tang.

Huotang gripped the wooden bow, his hands imbued with the essence of blood.

"Hmm!" The nose twitched, but the bow didn't move.

After he tried pulling it a few times, the wooden bow moved slightly, showing respect.

Volcano grabbed the wooden bow, hooked the bowstring, and with a clanging sound, pulled the bow to its full length.

"Great!" Huotang was overjoyed.

"Uncle Volcano, tell me how much Wilderness Power you have now?"

"I now possess the power of sixty desolate realms."

Volcano chuckled and then said, "Brother A-Tang, I feel like you can't beat me."

"How many?"

Huo Tang was stunned; he thought he had misheard.
