I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 208 - 95: Huo Chang: My Troublesome Tribesmen_2

"Are there any shipbuilders?"

"Quite a few, thirty-seven have built ships, and five have participated in the construction of Tier Three warships."

"In addition, more than a dozen women claim they can weave cloud-pattern brocade, which is very popular in the Bo Division and Yongyi tribes."

Huo Tu continued chewing on the arrowhead, perhaps she liked the taste of iron.

"We have too many people now, it's better to send them back to the Northern Lands. Ayu, contact Brother Yu, have him prepare to take people back to the Northern Lands."

Huo Tu hadn't expected to gather so many people; having a large group makes it too easy to be exposed.

If it weren't for hearing about these Human Race captives from the Guimu River line tribes, knowing that many might be shipbuilders, and having enough manpower, she might not have acted.

Her original plan was to send most people to the Northern Lands, leaving only two hundred elite soldiers to continue roaming the forests.

...

"Coo... Coo!"

In the northern Ji Land woods, the night echoed with bird calls.

In the woods, a figure like a Great Ape jumped through rocks and trees, rushing into the valley.

Once in the valley, he let out a loud laugh.

"Your laughter has deafened my ears."

Huo Tu stepped out from hiding, looking at the tall, stout 'Xiaoyang' in front of her.

"I've gathered a bunch of people from Ji Land, including some shipbuilders and weavers. Can we now pass through the Xiaoyang Race Territory?"

The approaching 'Xiaoyang' shook his head, cracks sounded from his body, and a skin was peeled, revealing Huo Yui.

As a Mountain-Opening Realm Martial Artist who advanced during the flood years ago, years of cultivation had elevated him to the Celestial Vein.

Over the past year outside the mountains, he acquired some fortune, consecutively breaking through two Celestial Veins, reaching the Celestial Vein Third Layer.

"How many people?"

"Over a thousand in total, fewer than a hundred artisans."

"There are too many people. Although most Xiaoyang clan soldiers are out attacking the Human Race, the Clan Land is full of patrolling Flying Birds. A thousand is too large a target."

Huo Yui pondered, "First, bring the needed artisans from the clan; as for the rest, establish settlements here. There are many broken Clan Lands in Ji that you can choose from."

"I don't like building settlements. Where is Brother Ning? I'll send the rest to him."

"At Yandang Mountain in Ji Land."

"Understood, take care, Brother Yui."

Huo Tu looked at Huo Yui, who had re-clothed himself in Xiaoyang skin, and walked outside. "I'll bring them to this valley tomorrow night."

When Huo Tu was out of sight, Huo Yui suddenly laughed loudly, then flipped and jumped away, disappearing into the woods.

Passing over an elevation, a figure clung to the rock wall, coldly observing the returning Huo Yui.

"I'm telling you, don't go too far!"

Huo Yui faced the True Xiaoyang, "It's just a few people; what are you afraid of?"

The Owl Fox showed its teeth, wanting to roar angrily but quickly lowered its voice.

"A few people? Damn you, that's not just a few! You've already sent over two thousand people, and I'm just a clan member from a small Xiaoyang tribe.

Do you think I bear the Xiaoyang Royal Race name? Absolutely not. Even if I were of royal descent, the Xiaoyang are now run by the branch tribes."

The Owl Fox growled lowly, eager to devour the imposter Xiaoyang before him.

"Don't be so angry, you've helped me greatly. If your fellow tribesmen knew you were the guide, allowing us into the Xiaoyang Ancestral Land..." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Shut your mouth!"

The Owl Fox lunged at Huo Yui, "How many are you sending this time? Over a hundred, and you'll have to reckon with ruin!"

"Dozens."

Huo Yui spoke.

Being able to hide within the Xiaoyang Race Land and serve as a link between the Northern Lands and Ji Land clan members, this Xiaoyang Race martial artist before him was instrumental.

The Ancestral Temple Keeper was indeed the Ancestral Temple Keeper, even planting a pawn within the Xiaoyang Race.

In the Xiaoyang Race in northern Ji, although the tribe of the Owl Fox couldn't compare with the Muo Yan, Qiu Yin, and other branches, the Owl Fox's Tuo Mountain branch had over a hundred thousand members.

Of course, since the Tuo Mountain branch bore the Xiaoyang name, it was subject to suppression.

This time, the Muo Yan branch's Vein Master extracted thirty thousand clan soldiers from Tuo Mountain's tribes, and as a Thousand Captain, the Owl Fox's father went with the army.

Perhaps understanding the difficulty of this battle, the Owl Fox's father didn't let him follow. Instead, he arranged a task to patrol the Clan Land.

Being a Thousand Captain within the Xiaoyang Race Land isn't exceptional, but having such an insider makes actions much easier.

"The Human Race is despicable!"

Mumbling insults, the Owl Fox headed off into the distance.

...

Northern Lands.

At the northwest headwaters of the former Qu River, the mountains spread;

Under the night, dozens of people stumbled into the mountains.

"Who are you!"

As the voice fell, an arrow landed a yard away.

"Visitors from Ji Land."

The torch lit up, and people appeared around the mountains, overlooking the dozens below.

"Brother Ayu."

Seeing the leading figure as Huo Yui, the group was swiftly ushered into the valley.

Within the valley, cave entrances were everywhere. Some caves were lit from within, and women were seen mending leather armor.

Huo Qing emerged from the largest cave.

"Ayu is back."

"Brother Qing, tend to these people's injuries; we've been focused on traveling."

"Along, Along," Huo Qing called toward an adjacent valley.

Huo Long exited the valley upon hearing it, and seeing the group of foul-smelling individuals, instantly understood.

"All come here, I'll tend to your wounds."

...

"Brother Qing, these are the shipbuilders and weavers Sister Tu found, who are skilled in weaving cloud-pattern brocade—highly popular in Yongyi."
