I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself
Chapter 426 - 183: Clan Power Realized, Long-Distance Raid to Seize Xiaoyang in the Desert! (Part 3)
The giant beast, transformed from the doppelganger, repeatedly crossed the oasis a foot off the ground. Soon, the largest settlement hill of the Bize clan had turned into ruins.
The weathered stones emitted a sizzling sound, quickly absorbing the blood.
There weren’t many Myriarchs and Commanders in the Celestial Vein Realm. Once those powerful Xiaoyang were dealt with, the remaining ordinary Xiaoyang were directly bound by the Insect-Ant Beast Tide.
Each and every one of them was covered with poisonous scorpions and sand worms, rolling on the ground and screaming in agony.
Afterward, they were continuously trampled to death or rammed dead by those who had become ’Wild Beasts’.
...
After dawn.
Within the oasis, Xiaoyang corpses lay scattered all over, roughly estimated to be no fewer than five or six hundred thousand, spreading over a hundred square miles.
Some who escaped sporadically were also hunted down by the Cyan Simurgh.
A portion of the piled-up Xiaoyang corpses was devoured by last night’s Insect-Ant Beast Tide.
The remainder was directly piled into small hills and quickly thrown into the Witch Array to be refined into Blood Pills.
Over a dozen Witch Arrays operated swiftly, forming over a dozen blood-colored wolf smoke rising within the oasis.
The doppelganger came to the secret location below the oasis wetlands.
It truly required some fortune to quickly stand out and ascend to the Tier Four Divine Treasure, standing on par with the Main Sect.
Below the wetlands was a cavern about a hundred yards in size.
Dense water vapor permeated, clashing with the yellow sand scene.
"Ah..."
A humanoid scream echoed, as in the cave a pillared Witch Medicine, shaped like tree roots, was constantly twisting, tied up tightly.
The entire tree root should have been covered with tendrils, but they were all severed, and the new tendrils were still tender.
It would occasionally emit a sound similar to an infant’s cry.
About seven inches above the tree root, there was a copper ring perfectly fitting around it.
...
After the doppelganger collected the bound Treasure Medicine from the cave, the ground was already piled with food, ores, Source Stones, Witch Medicine, and armor.
"Twenty-seven thousand eight hundred pieces of Source Stone."
"Four hundred stones of Witch Medicine unique to the sandland, with ages ranging from a few years to a hundred years, over three hundred of which are over a hundred years old and largely branded with the mark of the sandland Sand Medicine Tribe."
"Over three hundred thousand jun of various high-quality ores, and more than two million jun of low-quality ones."
"Over three thousand jun of Tier Three Raw Ore."
"Around a hundred jun of Tier Four Raw Ore."
"No count of food, dried meat of our Human Race and Wild Beast mixed together and already collectively burned clean."
"Armor..."
"Countless books, among which were found several vein maps."
Shortly afterward, the Cyan Simurgh carried several Witch Pouches and went southwest.
It needed to first head southwest to reach the Yu Region, then proceed to Northern Ji.
Although this route was longer, it could bypass some harsh weather phenomena in the sandland.
The doppelganger also led the clan members out of the oasis, directly heading according to the vein maps, conducting rapid and violent mining operations before leaving.
This time the target wasn’t the Xiaoyang Tribe but rather focused on a group of sand bandits entrenched on land.
After the Bize battle, the Blazing Flame Tribe folk indeed had sufficient strength, but their numbers were a problem.
Shen Can arranged two hundred people from within the tribe to enter the sandland and join up with the doppelganger again.
But even with over three hundred people, it was still impossible to encircle a vast oasis, hence the attention turned to the sand bandits.
The sand bandits were numerous, skilled at looting and plundering; they could be used for manpower, then buried in the yellow sand after use.
...
Blazing Flame River Valley.
A dozen flying ships came from the Yongshan Ruins. Upon landing, a number of still slumbering Human Apes were captured and swiftly brought into the Martial Division.
A group of palaces stood on the mountains where the Martial Division was located, with caves below.
"Ah, kill me if you’re capable!"
A figure drenched in blood, with a gaping hole in its abdomen, screamed miserably.
"Ants, I am a Divine Treasure, I am a Divine Treasure, get away!"
Xiong Wanchuan’s bellow had long become customary for everyone.
Divine Treasures of Tier Four appear every day, long accustomed to it, skillfully taking a piece of bloodied flesh from Xiong Wanchuan’s opened Divine Treasure.
"I want to see your Ancestral Temple Keeper, I want to see the Ancestral Temple Keeper, you can’t treat me like this, I don’t want to undergo Beastification either!"
