I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Chapter 469 - 197: Huo Chang: Steal from a Master? Steal My Ass, I Am My Own!

Rustle, rustle!

With the roar of a lion, a pair of purple wings burst open and gently flapped, creating a gust that lifted the entire flying ship two hundred feet into the air and in an instant, it traversed to the outskirts of the Fire Spirit Land.

After the flying battleship was completed, Shen Can personally came to the Spiritual Land and hosted a grand feast for all the tribe members who had been busy for a long time.

After the commendation and banquet, everyone went back to work the next day.

The Wizard Battleship also took off from the valley and, after a month of seaworthiness adaptation, it landed in the plaza of the Blazing Flame Race Territory.

In the plaza, there were already four Quasi-Tier Four flying ships docked.

Resources were continuously being loaded onto the flying ships.

Bundles of hemp cloth were sent into the ship’s cabin, filling it up.

These hemp cloths were a bit different from before, with colors appearing in indigo and black, among others.

The Witch Medicine had also been turned into small medicine pills.

And they were individually wrapped in dried wild grass leaves, placed in wooden boxes, clay boxes, or stone boxes according to their medicinal properties.

Animal hides were also cut, and some refurbished to look as good as new armor.

The last thing to be loaded were small vine cages, each containing a Little Raccoon Slave cub.

According to previous feedback, these were even better sellers than other Wild Beast cubs.

Paired with a finely woven vine cage, the price doubled.

"Hurry up, hurry up, roll call is starting."

Outside the flying ship, several groups of people were gathering, counting heads.

This time, the number of tribe members traveling together was close to four thousand.

On the Stone Tower.

Huo Chang and Shen Can were watching the tribe busily loading the ship.

"As long as our shops can be successfully established, resources will flow back continuously, and our tribe’s construction will no longer lack resources."

"The first batch will test the waters in the Luo and Yu regions, with three Ruins Markets selected in the Luo region, and two in the Yu region."

Previously, most of the resources sold by the tribe were directly sold to local bullies.

It was convenient, but these guys would jack up the prices, really biting into Blazing Flame.

Basic materials were too cheap. Next, the tribe plans to open its own shops in the Great Ruins Markets outside the Ji region, specializing in Ji region’s resources and processed items.

To suppress the local bullies, the Wizard battleship was deployed as escort, with four flying ships transporting goods, symbolizing the crossing of the river dragon to the south.

In a place as vast as Yongyi Land, Blazing Flame must claim a share.

The transport capacity and speed of flying ships are far superior to waterway transport. Once trade is on the right track and the tribe no longer urgently needs a large amount of ore, water transport can be entrusted.

"Send a message to Cyan Simurgh and also bring along the Clan Guardian Beast to oversee."

This time, Huo Chang personally led the team, and Shen Can didn’t give many further instructions — with enough fighting power, fear none.

He only needs resources right now.

Relying solely on robbing from Xiaoyang is far from enough to meet the tribe’s consumption.

Building Witch Array aggregation points requires a large amount of Tier Two and Three Spirit Wood and ores.

Even if the tribe can enhance the quality of Tier One ores by fusing them through the reformed Witch Array furnace, Tier Two and Three ores are still indispensable.

A day later, Huo Chang boarded the Wizard, and with a rumble, the Wizard soared into the sky without even unfolding its wings.

The four flying ships also ascended into the air; equipped with some giant crossbows and Blood Witch Cannons, they functioned for simple attacks.

Shen Can did not see them off. If the Blazing Flame Tribe’s shops can be spread in the Luo and Yu regions, they wouldn’t even need to go further south.

The resources obtained from just these two regions alone would give him the confidence to preliminarily complete the Blazing Flame Tribe’s defensive clan land establishment within ten years.

Building houses and digging holes is not difficult; the challenge lies in carving Witch Talisman Spirit Ban combinations into small Witch Arrays, and then linking these small Witch Arrays together, which requires a vast amount of time to engrave.

...

Luo Region, Luoyin Ruins Market.

"Whose flying ship is so magnificent!"

When the Wizard Battleship, along with its surrounding flying ships, descended outside the Luoyin Ruins Market, it instantly captivated countless onlookers.

For these past few years, the Blazing Flame Division’s flying ships have frequently visited Luoyin Ruins Market.

But they always came one by one.

"Oh, I wonder who it is, it’s those horse breeders from the Northern Lands again."

"It really is those horse breeders from the Northern Lands. Where did they get that lead flying ship, could they have built it themselves?"

"I doubt it; could Ji region build such a flying ship?"

A group of people whispered, watching as one flying ship after another descended.

"Damn you!"

On the flying ship, a member of the Blazing Flame Clan retorted.

He looked down at the figures below, spitting out words like ’horse keeping’ and ’horse slave’.

Most of their clothes were tattered and worn, faces weathered by time.

Then he glanced at his own bright cyan armor and straightened his chest.

Horse keeping? These people are even worse off than horse keepers, what are they bragging about, not sure where the superiority complex comes from.

When the flying ship landed, the Blazing Flame Clan people disembarked in orderly fashion, surveying their surroundings.

Anyone who had been muttering softly earlier, upon being glanced at by the Blazing Flame Clan people, immediately shut their mouths.

Because the Blazing Flame Clan warriors coming off the ship were vigorous, their vitality overwhelming, and their glare was enough to give anyone a fright.

On the Wizard, Huo Chang looked at the bustling figures below, paying no heed to their words.

Horse slave, horse keeping?

Apart from these words, they had nothing else to say.

Several years ago, he still thought about learning from a certain tribe and went to Shen Can, boldly asking about the future path of the Blazing Flame Tribe.

Now it seems, what a futile plan.

Looking across the entire Yongyi, which Bo Division can be as cautious as the Blazing Flame?

The Bo Division, truly befitting of its name, and now the Blazing Flame is building a foundation for existence.

"Enter the city, open the shops we’ve prepared, and move the goods into the city."

"Tell everyone in the Ruins Market, Tier Two, Tier Three ores, jade, ore marrow, spirit wood, we’re openly buying at Blazing Flame!"

...

Seven years later.

The Great Wilderness stretches endlessly, and for many, it’s not worth noting the years; they just live day by day.

If they can’t get through it, then they simply don’t worry about it.

Within the Blazing Flame Race Territory, sunlight spills over.

In the mountains, a great river flows from northeast to southwest, connecting lakes along the way.

Huge water wheels engraved with Witch Rune Spirit Bans, a hundred feet tall, glimmer prominently.

Each turn resounds with a roar, as surging river water is channeled into the wide irrigation ditches between the fields.

A glance reveals endless fertile fields nestled between mountains, green waves rolling.

A flock of small, green birds, each the size of a fist, swoop down from the sky, pecking at insects atop wheat and millet.

The birds don’t eat the wheat seedlings but precisely peck the insects into their beaks.

A flying ship follows close behind, with a figure standing on it, gently blowing on a clay ocarina shaped like a wild fruit.

The flock of birds, guided by the ocarina, continually change direction, diving into the bug-infested fields.

Ang!

A resonant dragon roar arises from the other side of the mountain, followed by thuds; cyan birds plummet into the fields one after another.

Much later, they tremble back into the air, one by one.

The Little Dragon Fish crossed over the ridge, recognizing the ocarina player, realizing it called at the wrong time.

Now, it has grown to a size of ten feet, sleek but still with a fish-like head.

This time out, it intended to rain on the Rice Spirit Field and was on the way back to the Clan Land.

Though most of the clan’s fields no longer rely on it for irrigation, some special Spiritual Lands still require its assistance for experiments.

Rumbling!

After passing through a few valleys, across a vast wilderness, wetlands dotted the land like jade.

Thousands of Cyan Qilin Dragon Blood Horses galloped, as a clansman rode on the leading Horse King, heading towards the nearest wetland.

The Little Dragon Fish shrunk its body to a foot long and landed atop the leading horse.

"Come, let Ancestor hear you call,"

The Horse King neighed, inciting thousands of Cyan Qilin Horses to whistle long.

Buzz!

At this moment, beams of Witch Patterns lit up on the mountain summit ahead, transforming into pillars of light a yard wide, shooting skyward.

This was just the first; soon similar beams erupted from all directions across the wilderness.

From the northern valley to the clan lands in the south, two colossal Witchcraft beams over a hundred feet wide connected the heavens.

Every settlement, every fish pond, every field, countless clan members raised their heads to gaze upon the sky.

A few breaths later, the countless Witch Patterns within these beams quickly vanished, either hidden within the mountains or into the houses.
