I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 129 - 68: The Boundless Sea of the Human Race’s War
Fourth, bring your identification badges. The marks on them are crucial; they are signs of the tribe recording your merits.
Your teams must remember your activity areas so that the tribe can find you at regular intervals to tally your merits.
Fifth, diligently cultivate the cultivation techniques given to you.
...
Quickly, three thousand people transformed into torrents and vanished into the wilderness.
These people carried various prepared items, some even had bird cages on their backs.
Previously, we couldn't control the trained birds well, so we caught hundreds. Let's solve the issues in large-scale combat.
Tribesmen dispersed into the mountains and forests. Shen Can left the Blazing Flame Race Territory with his guards and two squads of Blood Soldiers.
The reason for abandoning the clan land again was that, if they fought with Xiaoyang, even if they won, the Blazing Flame Division would suffer a pyrrhic victory, and ordinary tribesmen would surely incur heavy casualties.
Though there is a Sacrificial Spirit to protect the clan division, one cannot rely on the spirit and be complacent.
Moreover, it's not yet a life-or-death crisis. This isn't the plains; it's the undulating expanse of a hundred thousand mountains.
As for why it was certain Xiaoyang would attack the Blazing Flame Tribe Division, there's no other reason. Other small tribes either fled or hid, and among them, Blazing Flame was the most renowned.
...
"Ancestral Temple Keeper, over two thousand Xiaoyang Race Soldiers are advancing north from Copper Shell Ruins Market."
The news quickly reached Shen Can's ears.
Two thousand Xiaoyang Race Soldiers, led by Muo Qiu and three clan leaders, came northward along the Great Marsh to the Blazing Flame Race Territory.
Upon arrival.
Not a soul in sight.
"Rats, mountain rats!"
"Overrated little tribe."
The group, having traveled eagerly for so many days, had hoped for a feast prior but now could only drink water to fill their stomachs.
Angry Xiaoyang Race Soldiers rampaged through the clan land.
"They must have hidden in the mountains. Find them for me!"
"Wait, don't divide the troops!"
...
Night falls.
The Xiaoyang Race Soldiers camped directly in the Blazing Flame Tribe Division.
The sound of rushing water echoed as a guarding Xiaoyang Race Soldier was silently dragged into the water.
Not just in the water, but in certain mountain areas, Xiaoyang soldiers suddenly sank and were pierced by numerous holes, disappearing into the depths of the caves.
The next morning.
"How many, tell me how many!"
Muo Qiu grabbed the tribesman reporting to him.
"We've had over thirty tribespeople go missing."
Muo Qiu glanced at the equally grim-faced Mu Xun and Qiu Bear.
"Our tribe has lost forty-three."
"Our tribe, thirty-seven."
No noise, just one night's sleep and over a hundred Martial Artists vanished?
"Damn it, these Blazing Flame Tribesmen are nearby, watching us."
"Dig three feet down and find them for me!"
...
Thirty miles outside the Blazing Flame Race Territory.
A heap of Xiaoyang corpses was piled together peacefully.
The deed was done by Tian Chuanshan and others; acting silently was all too easy.
Shen Can originally intended to use poison; however, the water element is abundant in the clan land, rendering poison ineffective.
The Copper Talisman Array began operating, with Blood Soldiers approaching the array to start cultivating.
Before three days passed, Xiaoyang Race Soldiers who entered the Blazing Flame Race Territory fled south hastily, leaving over four hundred Xiaoyang corpses behind.
The vast area south of Copper Shell Ruins Market saw the remaining Xiaoyang Race Soldiers changing their clearance methods, with a thousand soldiers per unit. No tribe could resist them.
More and more tribes were discovered in the mountains. Those receiving early news fled north, while devastated remnants were wiped out, escaping into the deep mountains.
Meanwhile, the northern line from Copper Shell Ruins Market saw thickening mountain ranges and relative thinning to the south. This was Shen Can's reason for deploying clansmen northward into the mountains from Copper Shell.
This was a necessary path for tribes advancing into the northern forests, with many mountains for hiding.
A Red Bird flapped its wings, making a round and emitted urgent calls.
In the mountains below, dozens of figures became alert upon hearing the bird's urgent calls. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
The leader was tribe member Huo Qing, with the group hiding amidst the rocks.
Soon, a group of fleeing people, chased by thirty plus laughing Xiaoyang soldiers, was seen in chaos.
Human Race remnants, when fleeing, easily dispersed, with Xiaoyang Race splitting units for pursuit.
"The leader ahead."
"Second target is to the left and right of the leader."
Several iron arrows emerged covertly, waiting for the fleeing Human Race to pass before shooting, piercing through the leader of the Xiaoyang Race.
Then, the arrows struck the second target.
Three Xiaoyang fell in an instant.
"Zhang Yun, go tell the remnants the northern route."
"Amu, you and another collect the corpses; everyone else with me to divert these few Xiaoyang."
"Meet at the old place."
"Run!"
...
Infuriated by the deaths of their three companions, Xiaoyang soldiers immediately changed their pursuit direction, yet soon lost track of their target, with the previously pursued remnants disappearing without a trace.
This scenario continued to play out in the mountains north of Copper Shell Ruins Market.
The Ancestral Temple Keeper said, fight when you can win; if not, run.
Martial Artists from the Blazing Flame Tribe adhered well to the Ancestral Temple Keeper's words.
Do not seek fame or rush; killing one Xiaoyang was always a gain.
In the mountains, besides tribal Martial Artists harassing Xiaoyang, Blazing Flame's Celestial Vein Martial Artists were busy, becoming everyone's communicators and logistics.
...
Half a year later.
Huo Kui walked through the mountains with Huo Tuan, meeting tribal people in the region under the night sky.
"Commander."
Huo Mo bowed to Huo Kui, behind him were a hundred robust men, each with spirited eyes.
