I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself Chapter 203 93: The Pact Between Blazing Flame and the Cyan
"Of course, my tribesn will stand alongside your tribesn in battle. I an when we can't win."
"When we leave, you can take your tribe's fire seed."
Originally thinking there'd be a bit of back-and-forth, the ease with which the Cyan Simurgh agreed exceeded Shen Can's expectations.
Communicating with beasts is more straightforward; dealing with humans is exhausting.
"Your tribesn cannot force my tribesn to be mounts. They need the consent of my tribesn to form a battle partnership."
"No problem."
Shen Can nodded. The Blazing Fla Tribe and its people number in the hundreds of thousands, even if each person took a single feather, there wouldn't be enough from this Cyan Bird Race.
The Cyan Bird leader seed to set a few conditions, but to Shen Can, it amounted to nothing.
If the tribe were truly destroyed, losing a few more Auspicious Beasts would be aningless. Being able to escape with part of the tribe would be best.
"Then what conditions do you have?"
Hearing Shen Can agree, the Cyan Simurgh leader appeared quite earnest, sowhat resembling an elder of the Human Race.
"Just help with farming, patrols, and fighting."
"In my Blazing Fla Tribe, you will be equal to my tribespeople. If you die in battle, you can be buried with the tribe and have a Divine Tablet placed in the Ancestral Temple."
As he spoke, Shen Can took out the Treaty Book he had prepared earlier.
"We can inscribe it... oh, create a treaty, which will be enshrined in my tribe's Ancestral Temple so that future generations know of the cooperation between our two tribes."
"What about mine?"
Little Dragon Fish glanced at it, wondering why it didn't have a treaty.
"That requires a tribal sacrifice; it's announced to the entire tribe. I was too busy before to write yours, but I'll make up for it when we return."
"Oh." Little Dragon Fish nodded, not giving it much thought.
"Human Race, I have been to their tribes and understand their ancestral worship. I hope my race can develop and thrive within your tribe."
Hearing Shen Can speak so solemnly, the Cyan Simurgh was a bit surprised, knowing how much the Human Race values ancestor worship.
This showed that the tribe in front of him was not seeking to enslave them but was indeed placing them on equal footing.
After speaking, the Cyan Simurgh spread its wings and let out a long cry toward the sky.
"Chirp!"
Soon, there were cries coming from the direction of the Spirit Tree, one after another.
"This Spirit Tree is our nest. Does your tribe have other Spirit Wood for us to dwell in?"
Shen Can smiled and said, "We will take this tree with us."
Three months later.
A towering tree uprooted itself, and a flying ship hovered in the sky above the tree.
Ropes made of animal skins hung down from the flying ship, tied around the trunk and branches of the tree.
In the four directions of the tree, several Cyan Simurgh birds clutched the animal skin ropes.
On the back of each Cyan Simurgh bird, a Blazing Fla Martial Artist vigilantly watched the surroundings.
Suspended by the flying ship and hundreds of Cyan Simurghs, the Spirit Tree moved along the valley between mountains towards the Blazing Fla Tribe.
In the front and rear of the Spirit Tree, dozens of clan soldiers were carried by Cyan Simurgh birds, surveying the surroundings.
This path had been scouted beforehand, allowing the Spirit Tree to pass through mid-air.
Such a large Spirit Tree passing through attracted quite a few Wild Beasts, with so chasing and roaring behind.
After four days, the Spirit Tree finally reached the Blazing Fla Race City, settling near the Ancestral Temple, its massive branches shading a large area of buildings.
Spirit Tree, Ancestral Temple.
The intertwining shadows of the tree, the sunlight filtering through, falling in fragnts.
At a glance, it seed to have the taste of years gone by.
Of course, it would feel more so if the overturned soil was filled back.
To help this group of Cyan Simurghs integrate into the tribe, Huo Chang gathered the people and hunted Wild Beasts to hold a Great Sacrifice.
As the Ancestral Temple Keeper, Shen Can rewrote the treaty, and Huo Chang, Little Dragon Fish, and the Cyan Simurgh leader, along with him, left their Blood Seals on it.
Solemnly, the treaty was enshrined in the Ancestral Temple, proclaiming it to the ancestors and Sacrificial Spirit.
In the following days, children ca daily to bring fruits and at to the Cyan Simurghs, with many martial artists displaying themselves under the tree.
Like peacocks showing off, everyone wanted to beco a Bird Cavalry.
Shen Can and Huo Chang left it alone, letting whoever could gain the Cyan Simurgh's favor through their own abilities.
In total, there were three hundred thirty Cyan Simurgh birds, two hundred seventy being mature, four were Tier Three.
Chirp chirp chirp!
Early morning, loud cries filled the air.
A flock of Cyan Simurghs flew out of the clan city, dropping bird droppings in the fields outside the city.
The thick bird droppings at the previous tree's location had also been collected by Shen Can and given to his disciple Huo Yunn, having been converted into a dicinal field.
In just a few days, the tribespeople discovered that the Cyan Simurghs also had the ability to summon other birds.
Every day, nurous birds were called over, dropping piles of bird droppings in the clan's fields outside the city.
These birds would only linger outside the city; once they flew into the city, they would be chased out by the Cyan Simurghs.
Additionally, despite the Spirit Tree covering the Ancestral Temple, no bird droppings ever fell there. If any Cyan Simurgh got excited and cried loudly outside the Ancestral Temple, it would be pecked by its kin.
Compared to the Human Race, they had a more sensitive perception. Sensing the Blazing Fla Race's respect, they returned equal respect.
Ayu leaned against a large pillar of the Ancestral Temple, looking at the Cyan Simurgh perched on the tree, thinking about how he could gain recognition from one of them.
In recent days, he had shown off his strength and offered all sorts of food, yet none of the Cyan Simurghs recognized him.
"Brother Acan."
Faced with Huo Yuu's plea for help, Shen Can also shrugged, saying he had no solution, suggesting Huo Yuu think of new ideas.
Seeing Shen Can busy, Huo Yuu walked out, knowing it was ti for Brother Acan to communicate with the Sacrificial Spirit.
As a follower of Brother Acan, he had beco accustod to Brother Acan's daily routine, very familiar with the timing.
...
Shen Can's Divine Sense fell into the Sacrificial Tripod Cauldron.
Because the Sacrificial Spirit had granted the Five Pillars Skill's legacy, he would set aside a certain amount of ti each day to communicate with the Sacrificial Spirit, checking for any new legacies.
The treaty with the Cyan Simurgh and Little Dragon Fish had been enshrined in the Ancestral Temple, and a distinct embodint of Elder Sacrificial Spirit had once again shown a new wave of Divine Sense.
However, it was intermittent and sowhat incomplete.
For days on end, Shen Can continually received the Divine Sense waves from Elder Sacrificial Spirit, gradually piecing together a series of scrolls.
Mountains and rivers, the earth cracked open, crops in the fields withered and died.
Suddenly, a great wind arose, storm clouds gathered, a dragon faintly appeared hidden amidst the clouds, and rain poured onto the earth, bringing greenery back to the plains.
