I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 171 - 83: Cultivation—The Entire Tribe Practices the Fire Technique! (Part 2)

He held his breath and watched the flowing light.

"Is it the Human Race?"

However, with just a flicker, the flowing light was overwhelmed by the sky full of flames and golden light, disappearing without a trace.

The Lingyu Bo Division and their vassal tribe members hidden in the mountains stepped out, looking at the rolling smoke and cracked earth with bewilderment in their eyes.

Originally, this area of the Lingyu Race Territory could produce a large amount of rice, but now the ground has cracked, and the snow mountain water from the Northern Giant Mountain has almost dried up. Who knows how long it will take to restore the past state of the Fish and Water Valley.

...

The Golden Crow and Kuafu passed through, their massive bodies and formidable strength disregarding the various races in their path, seeing them all as ants.

These two groups would pause and fight intermittently, generally moving eastward.

During their battles, they did not travel in a straight line, sometimes lingering in an area for repeated skirmishes, and at times shifting the battlefield north and south.

Moreover, to keep the Fire Source Power between heaven and earth abundant, as each Golden Crow flew through the sky, they set fires everywhere.

Sparks of fire meteors scattered and fell, igniting wildfires in the mountains and forests.

Wherever Kuafu passed, lakes and marshes were drained dry to quench their thirst.

The regions traversed by the two groups became a vast band of flames, stretching several thousand miles to tens of thousands of miles from north to south.

The wild beasts in the mountains were alerted, some began to flee for their lives early, but most were consumed by the flames, with some even ending up in the mouths of giants.

...

The Blazing Flame Race Territory. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

In the scorching environment, the Great Marsh was gradually drying up, and the water's edge was already a thousand miles away from the Clan Land, with the drying speed still accelerating.

The number of wild beasts rushing from the western mountains grew more and more.

Even during the daytime, one could see the blazing fire clouds hanging at the western horizon, especially resplendent and brilliant at night, beautiful beyond compare.

Under such circumstances, even ordinary clan members understood that something significant was destined to happen.

The Blazing Flame Race Hall.

Several subordinate divisions sent messengers again, seeking guidance from the Upper Division.

The people of various divisions were very anxious.

In the past, during natural disasters, each division toughed it out on their own. Now, having the Upper Division felt like grabbing a lifeline.

...

The Ancestral Temple.

Offerings brought by various subordinate divisions filled the Ancestral Temple.

In the square outside the Ancestral Temple, thirty-six young martial artists selected by the Martial Hall were cultivating the Monkey Form Stake method.

The Fire Source Power in heaven and earth became increasingly abundant, while the Water Source Power became the scarcest.

Since last month, most of the tribe started to switch to cultivating the Monkey Form Stake method, and even various subordinate settlements did the same.

When cultivating the Pile Techniques, the clan did not compel members to choose multiple methods. Those who felt capable could simultaneously cultivate the Bear Stake and Bird Stake.

These two Pile Techniques belong to the earth and wood elements, respectively.

The hotter the weather, the better the effect of practicing the Ape Stake.

Especially for these youngsters in the Martial Hall, they hadn't been cultivating for long but found themselves in an exceptionally favorable training environment.

The number of wild beasts emerging from the mountains was several times that of the past, making the supply of wild beast meat naturally abundant.

Youths who had failed to enter the Martial Hall previously in various settlements also sprang up once they switched to the Ape Stake.

In just this month, the number of youths at the Martial Arts Academy increased by over 180, bringing the total closer to a thousand.

Outside the Ancestral Temple, thirty-six individuals resembled red-furred monkeys climbing mountains, exuding heat and as robust as Kui Ox calves, already becoming Stone-Breaking Realm martial artists.

The eldest was only seventeen years old.

In the past, a seventeen-year-old clan member would still be painstakingly practicing the inferior Kui Ox Fist. Now, with cultivation techniques, meat, and environment all aligned, the cultivation environment seemed to have transformed overnight.

As for those clan members who had practiced the Kui Ox Fist for years, they began with other Pile Techniques besides the Ape Stake to avoid any conflict between water and fire.

For those experiencing problems with the switch, they continued to cultivate the Kui Ox Technique Stake within the underground canals.

In short, the entire tribe adapted to environmental changes, speeding up cultivation overall.

However, apart from good news in Martial Dao, other aspects weren't as favorable.

Shen Can felt his Witchcraft power decreasing, though fortunately, his Martial Dao had improved, otherwise, this would be a prime time for hunting Water Element Wizards.

The heat waves rolling in from the west intensified daily, causing the mountain's vegetation to droop under the scorching Fire Qi, and some areas had already caught fire.

Watching the thirty-six young Temple Guards train, Shen Can also gazed at the crimson-gold glow in the west.

This glow on the distant horizon would sometimes expand and contract in size.

At this moment, there was commotion within the Clan Land. A group of clan soldiers rode Mountain-Splitting Kuis out of the West Mountain Camp, dispersing into dozens of teams heading west and south.

Since the notice of heat waves coming from the west, the clan had sent the Human Race westward to investigate.

Unfortunately, the unfamiliar western mountain paths and the presence of wild beasts in the area made the journey perilous and short.

Soon, Shen Can understood the purpose of these clan soldiers' departure.

They went to the vassal tribes to deliver messages, instructing them to migrate to the mountains to evade disaster.

Huo Chang learned from the last battle against Xiaoyang, deciding to hide in the mountains regardless of what the west held.

If the issue wasn't significant, they could simply move back later.

Regarding the planted crops, they had already harvested two seasons in the past year, and this season couldn't yield much due to environmental issues either.

Moreover, during this period, wild beasts ran east from the west, and all the major tribes had ample opportunities to hunt.
