I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 114 - 63: Inventorying the Family Assets, 3,000 Clan Soldiers

For this reason, a large fish storage pool was built within the ironwood ship.

This was naturally at Shen Can's request.

As his strength advanced to Tier Three, the scale of operations grew larger, and the consumption of longevity for Witchcraft and the Martial Dao also increased.

With clan soldiers taking turns hunting, they would always bring back a batch of live fish each time, even if the rank wasn't high, the quantity was substantial.

On average, Shen Can could accumulate two to three hundred years of longevity every three to five days.

Occasionally encountering a Tier Two Water Beast, one could be worth many live fish.

Besides this, there were those who went into the mountains to hunt large wild beasts, sending one or two live beasts to the ancestral temple every few days.

These hunted wild beasts were directly consumed by the tribe, as the three thousand or so martial artists required a large amount of meat every day.

...

Half a month later, at dusk.

Huo Qii returned with a team of elite martial artists, carrying large and small bags of things, most clan soldiers delivered the items to the clan treasury and returned to camp.

A few clan soldiers escorted two individuals drenched in dried blood into the tribal prison.

The tribal prison was built on the west side of Clan Mountain, adjacent to the barracks.

The prison was guarded by Huo Zhe, Tian Hex, and Jianng Shi, leading dozens of clan members.

After escorting the individuals into the prison, Huo Qii quickly returned to the clan division.

"Clan Leader, we've captured them. These people deserve death, a small tribe of nearly two thousand was massacred, they didn't even spare the children."

Recalling the scenes he witnessed, fury blazed in Huo Qii's eyes.

"I've brought back the items for the clan elders to count, but it was post-flood accumulation from a newly merged small tribe, there wasn't much."

The clan land was nestled in the valley, yet these people managed to find them.

They could manipulate fog to hide their forms, trying to lure us in, I directly used a fire attack."

As he spoke, Huo Qii emptied a large beast hide bag, producing the sound of metal clashing.

A witch blade, a damaged roof tile, and over a dozen scattered items emitted a strong bloody odor.

Huo Chang extracted a beast hide scroll from them, its image was identical to those found on Bai Lang earlier.

"Empty their mouths completely, one copy for me, another to the Witch Hall, select useful ones and compile into the clan books."

Huo Chang set aside the beast hide then picked up a small bamboo tube, removing the plug, two lumpy balls exuding a fierce bloody smell rolled out.

At first glance, Huo Chang felt dizzy, he seemed to see distorted faces on them.

Soon thereafter.

These two bloody balls appeared before Shen Can.

"Human blood."

Enveloped in divine sense, Shen Can seemed to hear crying from them.

Listening to Huo Chang's recount, he realized Huo Chang hadn't idled recently, he'd truly captured rangers.

Engaging in military exercises and acquiring resources from rangers to supplement the clan division.

"It was Bai Lang who indicated a general area, and it took a while before we found it, Huo Qii captured them."

"What's the strength of these rangers, have none of them broken through to the Celestial Vein Fourth Layer?"

Scrutinizing the bloody balls, Shen Can suddenly asked.

"No."

Huo Chang shook his head, suddenly startled.

"Acan, are you suggesting these massacres of human race tribes are to break through to the Celestial Vein Fourth Layer?"

Gazing at the blood-colored balls, Huo Chang furrowed his brows, he wouldn't commit such acts of slaughter upon his own for cultivation, nor had he ever considered it.

"The remnants from Ji Land, came over here to flaunt, pillage, and plunder."

The Celestial Vein Third Layer over the northern regions already constituted the strongest group, but it was different in Ji Land.

"Having devoted themselves to the Sacrificial Master, they no longer regard themselves as human." Shen Can replied, then asked: "How do they extract the essence of blood and flesh?"

Huo Chang gestured to the beast hide records on the desk.

"When Aqi visited, they hadn't finished yet, they attempted to lure Aqi's team inside.

Luckily, knowing they were dealing with these blood warriors, Aqi was well-prepared, used fire oil, arrows, oil-coated wooden spears, and burned them out with fire.

The interrogated items are here for you to see."

Through Bai Lang and others, they came to understand the distinctions between the sacrificial beastmen and between blood witches and blood warriors. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Witchcraft array?"

Shen Can expressed interest after examining the beast hide scroll, "I want to visit this small tribe."
