I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 177 - 85: Yongshan Ruins, Large-Scale Acquisition of Witch Artifacts (2)

This Great Wilderness is not a place where you can stubbornly hold on, there's nowhere safe.

The Blazing Flame just advanced to the Upper Division a few days ago, and the Golden Crow already flew out. Each of these super races is comparable to the top-level experts among the Human Race.

If you can't win, not running is just waiting for death.

As for the Ancestral Temple, if pressed, he will create a mobile Ancestral Temple, connecting wherever he goes.

Fortunately, they treated everyone the same, not focusing on harming the Human Race. Given that earth-shattering way of fighting, the Xiaoyang Race in the south was rather lucky.

After waiting for three days, the martial artists in the clan arrived, each Mountain-Splitting Kui carrying beast oil pouches and various materials like wood.

"Let's go, take a look."

Huo Chang leapt onto a Mountain-Splitting Kui and led the way.

...

On the cracked mud bed, an expanse of towering buildings was half-covered with silt.

Upon seeing this cluster of buildings, Shen Can suddenly recalled when defeating Jifu, Jifu mentioned the Lingyu Bo Division's old home was in the Great Marsh.

Most of the buildings before them were beneath the silt, but the portions above the surface still appeared grand and towering.

The stone pillars were each about a yard thick, and the recessed areas beneath the stone hall's eaves had puddles with fish leaping in the water.

The entire building seemed to align roughly in a north-south direction. After checking the perimeter, no city wall type buildings were found; just a scattered group of stone halls.

Rugged, majestic, vast.

"Best to camp further away."

The group settled on a high ground with stones, about a mile from the buildings.

By nightfall, no one felt like roasting meat; they didn't even light a bonfire, instead, they stayed vigilant, watching the buildings.

Buzz!

The night, which should have been deep and dark, appeared bright due to the dazzling golden rays on the eastern horizon. After midnight, the ancient building complex quivered slightly.

Stream after stream of mysterious light spread like smoke.

Rising into the sky, it overlapped with the golden rays from the east, emitting a faint, eerie green glow.

At this moment, upon closer examination, it resembled ripple-like mysterious light.

"Acan, is that a person?"

Huo Chang held his breath, staring at the hazy silhouette within the mysterious light.

"Is it a Sacrificial Spirit?"

At this moment, as streams of mysterious light converged, the hazy silhouette became increasingly clear: clad in Beast Pattern Armor, holding a long spear, standing tall and majestic like the spear itself.

Its facial features were somewhat blurred, pacing back and forth in the mist formed by the mysterious light, as if on patrol.

While walking, the mysterious light silhouette suddenly paused, turning its head in the direction of Shen Can and his group.

Despite the blurry facial features, Shen Can, Huo Chang, and many Blazing Flame Clan People felt as if the silhouette was looking directly at them.

An overwhelming war intent surged from this silhouette.

"Clan Leader, let me go."

Just as Huo Chang prepared to take a couple of steps forward, a clansman stepped up first.

"Fall back."

Huo Chang admonished and then looked at Shen Can.

"I sense a pure war intent; this elder bears no malice."

Huo Chang spoke as if seeking Shen Can's opinion.

Shen Can nodded towards Huo Chang.

Seeing Shen Can's nod, Huo Chang felt more assured and proceeded towards the entrance of the front building.

As he approached the entrance, the floating Beast Pattern Armor silhouette descended, standing like a sentry.

"Who goes there?"

"Huo Chang, Clan Leader of the Blazing Flame Tribe."

The silhouette sized up Huo Chang from top to bottom.

"Enter!"

Huo Chang looked around, stepping through the mud and water towards the interior of the building.

The building complex, though thickly covered in silt, began revealing a path leading straight to a central grand hall as Huo Chang entered.

"Who goes there?"

Meanwhile, outside, Shen Can also approached the building, and the silhouette at the entrance inquired again.

Shen Can did not answer, he took a few steps back and then forward again.

"Who goes there?"

...

After repeating this twice, Shen Can retreated several steps, leaving the area enveloped by the mysterious light.

His Divine Sense had already seen the plaque on the silhouette, which bore the image of a winged Flood Dragon.

Eight thousand years ago, the Yongshan Bo Division possessed a Clan Guardian Spirit Beast that followed Lord Yongshan in conquests, named Rain Master, a Flood Dragon awakened with Yinglong bloodline.

And under Marquis Yong was a general known as Wind Master, supposedly an Exotic Beast transformed into a serpent.

However, these two Clan Guardian Spirit Beasts later disappeared, leaving no knowledge of whether they passed with Lord Yongshan or retreated into the vast mountains and forests.

Because of these two Clan Guardian Spirit Beasts, the identity jade tokens of the Yongshan Bo Division had the Beast Patterns of a transformed serpent and Yinglong on each side.

This secret was something Shen Can discovered by searching the tomes in the Ancestral Temple.

Thus, it's highly likely that this building complex was left by the Yongshan Bo Division.

Eight thousand years ago, Yongshan Bo Division did indeed reach the Giant Mountain Range, leaving a construction would be reasonable.

Shen Can continued to ponder Jifu's dying words.

The Lingyu Bo Division has existed for 3,600 years, much later than this ruin's appearance.

Judging by the timing, the Lingyu Bo Division would likely have known about this place.

Whenever a flood breaks out, the Lingyu Bo Division would organize eastward hunts, which might actually be to this location.

...

By about dawn, Huo Chang emerged from the ruins, holding a bronze seal with a fierce tiger head on it.

The silhouette guarding the entrance vanished with the sunlight.

Huo Chang handed the seal to Shen Can, which was inscribed with 'Imperial Decree Commanding Soldiers'.
