I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 182 - 87: Another Migration? Lingyu Comes from the West

It was still the temporary cave clan hall for discussions.

Only this time there were just a few people.

"The Xiaoyang Race Territory is littered with giant footprints, and many Xiaoyang tribes have been hit hard."

"I captured a messenger from the Xiaoyang Race and forced out information that more than one Xiaoyang branch has issued an order to gather clan soldiers, and the three major Xiaoyang branches north of Ji Land have all issued orders."

"The news I got from the Xiaoyang race is that Ji Land has also been heavily impacted by Kuafu and Golden Crow, and an elder of the Human Race appeared to withstand Golden Crow and Kuafu, saving many tribes."

"Now on the buffer wilderness between the Human Race and Xiaoyang, there is still a Halberd Mark left by a Human Race elder."

...

"Such a large-scale gathering of troops, probably not less than hundreds of thousands, even if a detachment comes, our Blazing Flame Tribe cannot withstand it."

Upon hearing the news brought back by Huo Hou, Huo Chang's expression became somewhat serious.

Without a natural barrier, advancing is just a smooth path.

"Xiaoyang is trying to compensate for their losses from the Human Race."

Huo Qii pondered, the target of hundreds of thousands of Xiaoyang Race Soldiers is naturally the Human Race Tribes in Ji Land, but while Xiaoyang is attacking Ji Land, it's entirely possible for them to deploy some clan soldiers northward.

Previously, the major tribes within Xiaoyang looked down on the Blazing Flame Division, but now that Blazing Flame has been promoted to an Upper-class Tribe, it has caught Xiaoyang's attention.

Even though the Blazing Flame appears somewhat lean to them, they can still have a bit of a feast. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Moreover, the three Northern tribes of Xiaoyang, who were previously defeated and migrated north, might already be contemplating revenge.

Fighting, Huo Chang is not afraid. He can fight, relying on Giant Peak Mountain, disperse, and not fear Xiaoyang.

He is worried, however, that the tribe will not have time to develop and accumulate.

Once conflicts arise, the hard-earned foundation within the tribe could easily be lost.

Ji Land is filled with countless tribes that have been crushed into obstinate defeat in this manner.

So, finding a concealed place in which to migrate most of the tribe to cultivate and train, while clan soldiers engage in great battles with Xiaoyang, simultaneously training and seizing resources from Xiaoyang, would be the best option.

"Can we contact the fellow Human Race Tribes in Ji Land?"

Huo Qii spoke up, although he was not very confident in his words.

Ji Land regards the Human Race in Northern Lands here as Barbarians.

The Lingyu Bo Division even came over to capture slaves, which clearly shows the attitude of these fellow tribes towards the wilderness people.

If the major Xiaoyang tribes truly march north, Ji Land unlikely has any tribe that would care about Blazing Flame.

Blazing Flame has developed too briefly, without any allied tribes.

Shen Can, who hadn't spoken all this time, was actually contemplating the Lingyu Bo Division.

Could it be that Lingyu was driven away by the Xiaoyang race?

Otherwise, why would they abandon even the Yongshan Bo Division relics?

"Acan, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Can responded with a question, "Have you found a suitable new clan land?"

Regarding migrating the tribe, Shen Can, Huo Chang, and every tribe member didn't have much resistance.

In the perilous Great Wilderness Mountains, being able to survive, running an extra mile is hardly a concern.

Just like when the Blazing Flame Tribe migrated here near the Great Marsh last time, relying on the convenience of the marsh, they caught countless fish beasts, providing plentiful meat for the tribe.

However, now the Great Marsh is gone.

The once convenient place is about to become a dilemma due to changing circumstances.

Survival instinct dictates moving wherever living is easy and avoiding danger.

If Lingyu has truly fled west, where should Blazing Flame go, north, east, or south?

"Not yet."

Huo Chang gently shook his head, "Really, if necessary, we shall try to head north, following the ancient map given by predecessors into the Giant Mountain Range, such a huge Giant Mountain Range, it's hard to believe there's not a suitable valley, a place fit for cultivation.

Akui took people north several months ago, now he hasn't returned, seems it's going smoothly.

As long as the tribe members can be settled, I'm not afraid to confront Xiaoyang. Come as many Xiaoyang race members, worst case according to your previous strategy, fight if able, run if not, with such a large mountain, at most run ten thousand miles."

"Acan, if we migrate again, can the Primordial Vein underground in the clan land be taken away?"

This question left Shen Can momentarily unable to answer, "Try Sacrificial Spirit rituals, when collected in Gufu Mountain, it should be possible to collect it back."

Hearing this, Huo Chang breathed a sigh of relief, having witnessed the power of the Primordial Vein, migrating the tribe without carrying the Primordial Vein would result in too great a loss.

...

After this clan discussion, Huo Chang's clan order was sent to various divisions hidden within the mountains.

Gathering troops again.

Xiaoyang mobilized hundreds of thousands, Blazing Flame Division, having been promoted to Upper Division, can at least gather thirty thousand.

Huo Chang did not intend to go out and kill; he planned to rely on the mountains to defend, disperse, and follow Acan's method, fight if able, retreat if not.

The geographical advantage is currently Blazing Flame's biggest asset, engaging Xiaoyang's dispatched forces directly would be folly.

Meanwhile, members of various divisions began packing, ready to continue moving deeper into the Giant Mountain Range.

...

On this day, Shen Can had just speared a Wild Beast and was routinely drawing Beast Blood Witch Talisman when Huo Chang quickly entered the Ancestral Temple.

"Acan, good news!"

"Akui has returned."

Huo Kui followed Huo Chang into the Ancestral Temple.

"Ancestral Temple Keeper, I have returned."

Huo Kui took a beast skin bundle from his shoulder, respectfully performed rites towards the ancestors and the Sacrificial Tripod Cauldron, then offered the bundle to Shen Can with both hands.

"This is the offering I brought back."

Shen Can opened it to find a beast skull as crystalline as jade, emitting an intense wood source power.
