I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 175 - 84: Evaporating the Mire, Frightening Off Xiangliu, Unleashing the Plague Beast, and All That Remains Is Fish_3

"Let's see when you die!"

The Golden Crow cried out and spread its wings, flying toward the distance.

Kuafu widened his eyes and glanced at the old man, then turned around to chase after the Golden Crow.

As the Golden Crow and Kuafu moved further away, the old man's figure flickered and disappeared.

Soon, the chaotic battle between the two races began to contract, shrinking from Ji Land back toward the Northern Mountains.

At this moment, a fight between a Kuafu and a Golden Crow entered the Northern Lands.

Along the way, Kuafu uprooted mountains and hurled them at the Golden Crow.

The Golden Crow continuously spewed flames downward, and as both sides exchanged blows, drops of blood splattered.

Both sides fought as they moved, intermittently.

During the exchange, whenever blood dripped, whether it belonged to the Kuafu or the Golden Crow, the Kuafu would grab the nearby soil and stuff it into its mouth.

In this way, the two colossal creatures rampaged through the Northern Lands, and the Golden Crow, seeing the heavy northern mountains, wanted to fly south.

But the Kuafu Giant wouldn't let it escape; whenever the Golden Crow exposed its back to the Kuafu, it would lose a feather or two.

Before long, the area around its rump was nearly bald from being plucked.

The angry Golden Crow began to squawk chaotically, fretting about returning to its tribe and being laughed at without tail feathers.

Ignoring the heavy mountains, it turned to clash again with the Kuafu, their cries and roars like thunder.

In the mountains, Kuafu moved with ease, grabbing one peak here and uprooting a hill there, smashing the Golden Crow, which roared angrily in the air.

...

In the distance, where the giant creatures clashed, Shen Can and Huo Chang hid in a corner of the mountain, gazing from afar at the cataclysmic power of the colossal figures.

By this time, two months had passed since the first Golden Crow appeared.

Looking around, some fire-scorched mountains and forests had begun to show sporadic signs of new green sprouting.

"When can my Blazing Flame Tribe produce such powerful martial artists?"

Huo Chang nestled among the rocks, eyes filled with awe and longing for powerful beings.

Shen Can squinted, observing the Golden Crow and the Kuafu Giant, eager to imprint the colossal figures into his eyes.

Observing the battle of powerful races up-close is a rare opportunity.

The Golden Crow breathes fire to form the sun, while the giant raises a hand to shape mountains; one controls flames, the other earth's power.

The origin of the Human Race's witchcraft came from such observations.

The battle between the two colossal creatures did not spread north to the Blazing Flame Race Territory but instead moved toward the northeast, in the direction of the Great Wild Marsh.

And the Great Wild Marsh east of Blazing Flame belongs to a part of Yongyi's Eastern Marsh.

At this moment, there were still some Kuafu and Golden Crow fighting in Yongyi, but some from both tribes had already reached the Eastern Marsh.

Golden Crows, seeing the marsh, soared high to avoid the dense mist, while Kuafus dove into the marsh, guzzling large mouthfuls of water.

After a hearty drink, they roared skyward.

Subsequently, in the vast mountains and fields, one giant after another roared.

The Kuafu tribesmen, still lagging and fighting behind, quickened their pace upon hearing the commotion, leaving a devastated scene of mountains and plains.

As hundreds of gigantic giants entered the marsh, the water level of the marsh visibly began to drop.

The stomachs of these giants seemed like bottomless pits, some standing with gaping mouths as a water dragon rose from the wetland into them.

Fish, shrimp, and water beasts in the water were also swallowed in one gulp by the giants.

While Kuafu drank the water, the Golden Crow could completely abandon the fight and fly over the marsh far away.

Yet this group of Golden Crows flapped their wings mid-air, forming a sea of golden flames, rapidly evaporating the marsh's water.

Water in the marsh started bubbling, some fish and shrimp turning belly-up, turning crimson.

Seeing this, the giants laughed heartily, swallowing the cooked fish and shrimp, and taunting the Golden Crow high in the sky.

Finally, when the Kuafu Giants were inattentive, two Golden Crows swooped down from the sea of sky fire, their claws piercing two young Kuafus, and ascended again.

The laughing Kuafu instantly flew into a rage, giant spears piercing through air and stabbing at the fiery cloud sea above.

The Golden Crows had already dispersed, and all the giant spears struck air.

Golden Crows, crying high in the sky, swooped down on the captured young Kuafu, each attack tearing off a piece of flesh.

Soon, the two young Kuafus were completely devoured by the Golden Crows.

Thus, the battle between the two sides erupted once more.

...

In the depths of the marsh, Xiangliu, the massive nine-headed creature, awoke from its slumber.

A terrifying aura emanated from its gigantic snake-like body, stirring vibrations from the water's depths.

As the unique king of alien species in the Eastern Marsh, Xiangliu sensed changes around it, surging out of the water with tremendous water power.

Nine heads lifted toward the sky...

"Ao..."

Then, the howl was cut short.

Xiangliu didn't have time to close its nine mouths before diving back into the water, sprinting away into the distance.

Enough, enough, let the clans have their war; as an outsider beast, it wouldn't intervene.

...

In the southwest direction of the marsh, a stench-permeated swamp.

The flames from a fallen Golden Crow quickly evaporated the water vapor.

At the marsh's edges, the stench was burned by fire, and black plague insects from the muck couldn't handle the heat, emerging one by one from the swamp.

But as they emerged, they popped like beans, the crackling sound echoing all around.

Ka-cha!

Deep within the swamp, a massive figure covered in bulges awoke from the heat.

The gathered muddy water evaporated from its surroundings, causing the swollen lumps on its body to burst open, spilling countless plague insects, lifeless even in slumber.

The beast, a plague beast breeding plague insects on its body, jerked awake and began burrowing down.

But the mud and water had already evaporated, and as it dragged its body onward, the lumps continued to break, shedding dead plague insects.

...

As the water level in the Eastern Marsh dropped, the water in the Great Wild Marsh, a vassal of the larger marsh, quickly flowed back to the Eastern Marsh.

In just one day, only sparse deep ponds and pools remained within the Great Wild Marsh, filled with countless struggling water beasts and fish.

As the water level dried up, a hidden ancient architectural ruin was revealed toward the northwest of the Great Wild Marsh.

On the west side of the Great Wild Marsh, Huo Chang and Shen Can stood in front of a water beast trapped in the shallows, gazing into the distance of the marsh.

Everywhere they looked, fish, shrimp, and crabs were too numerous to count.

After a moment of daze, Huo Chang turned and ran toward the Mountain-Splitting Kui they had ridden on.

Soon, a signaling arrow shot skyward, exploding mid-air.

But thinking about the signal arrow's return, the clan wasn't clear on the situation and still needed to confirm.

Huo Chang rode atop the Mountain-Splitting Kui and turned back.

"Acan, don't move from there."

"I'm going back to the tribe to call for people."
