I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Chapter 536: Chapter 222: Shen Can: Waiting Until the Flowers Have Withered

More than a month later.

Blazing Flame River Valley.

At the center of the valley, a towering giant wood over three hundred zhang stands tall, its massive trunk and branches resembling a small mountain.

This giant wood is the trunk of an old tree transplanted from a Grotto Heaven, upon which floats a Witch Tower, with Witch Runes faintly illuminating around it, flickering and merging into the surroundings.

The black Witch Tower emits tens of thousands of rays of blue light, dropping countless streams of brilliance like a canopy, covering a three hundred li forest.

From afar, the entire clan land appears cloaked in a layer of pale green light.

Shen Can walked out of the Ancestral Temple, looking at the pervasive greenery feeling somewhat refreshed.

The first month has passed, and the Holy Envoy Race hasn’t appeared.

It’s already the second month now, and still no appearance.

This got him bewildered.

Shen Can even suspected if the Holy Envoy Race had forgotten about him.

After all, everyone who came to Blazing Flame got taken out by him, maybe the news about Blazing Flame was lost.

But on second thought, it didn’t seem right; even if the Holy Envoy Race had substantial Tier Five resources, with five Divine Treasure Peak Martial Artists plus Tier Five Witch Artifacts, they wouldn’t just give up without any effort in searching.

In summary, this left Shen Can somewhat clueless.

Previously, after eliminating the second wave of the Holy Envoy Race, worried about the arrival of their strong forces, he only gave his disciple Huo Yunn twenty days, leading the clan to forge the Array of Ten Thousand Woods.

In order to prepare more resources for the future battle, he specifically went to Dai Land together with his Giant Beast Avatar.

From borrowing resources from Dai Land to returning, it took him only seventeen days.

The day after returning, disciple Huo Yunn, leading the clan, worked overtime and completed the array formation a day ahead.

In this one-month period, nearly three million clan members returned to the valley, beginning wartime production and drills.

The old tree transplanted from the Three-Headed Secret Realm has already formed a vast forest in the valley.

Looking around, a sea of green undulates with the wind, stirring green waves.

The Holy Envoy Race hasn’t appeared, but the preparations within the clan have not stalled; instead, they continue to meticulously strengthen the entire witch array.

Previously, fearing the possible arrival of the Holy Envoy Race at any time, Shen Can gave Huo Yunn twenty days.

In the urgency of the situation, the internal clan resources were naturally utilized as they were available.

A thousand wizards took only three days to upgrade the Five Elements Spiritual Land into a super workshop.

Every day, they could smelt thirty thousand blocks of various tier Divine Gold blocks.

The resources acquired from the Dai Land Earth Ant Race instantly satisfied production needs.

If it weren’t for resisting the Holy Envoy Race, with this output, Shen Can estimated he could easily surpass the production of the Bi Fang Bo Division.

What the hell is the first refining division, he only understands a hammer.

"Open the furnace!"

A shout sounded out, and a towering furnace spewing black smoke, with Witch Runes flashing below, split open a circular opening.

Molten flames poured out, flowing into the mold troughs within the Earth Element Spiritual Land.

Each mold trough can accept a thousand-jin molten iron, all surrounding a continually rumbling Iron Mountain.

Once the molten iron in the mold trough solidified initially, it would be blown by gusts of wind and propelled into the hundred-zhang-tall Iron Mountain.

The wind blowing the molten iron came from several Wind Witch Towers, each triggering a windswept blaze when the Spirit Bans lit up.

The only issue was that sometimes the Witch Rune Spirit Ban would shatter, requiring timely repair, so several dozen wizards with witches took turns ensuring the Wind Witch Towers’ normal operation.

The Iron Mountain is split top and bottom, with a smooth fit where the two halves meet; the bottom is embedded in the earth, while the top is supported by Wind Element Witch Runes.

During the establishment of the Gold Element Spiritual Land, Shen Can intentionally excavated an area, filling it with countless molten iron.

Once the freshly solidified iron blocks entered the Iron Mountain, the Wind Element Witch Rune on the top half of the mountain would light up, hoisting the top half of the Iron Mountain thirty zhang into the air.

Afterward, the Wind Element Witch Rune extinguishes, and the Earth Element, Gold Element Witch Runes light up, causing the weight of the Iron Mountain to increase tenfold, crashing down from thirty zhang high.

After being hammered repetitively several hundred times, the iron billet would be sent out from the Iron Mountain and moved to the forging workshop at the Gold-Water Spiritual Land intersection.

In the forging workshop, these preliminarily forged gold-iron are cut to the uniform size necessary for the witch array base, then transferred to the Water Spirit Land.

The Water Spirit Land is permeated by dense steam, creating a scene of misty drizzle.

The water within the Water Spirit Land, nurtured by the Spirit Vein, has long gained some spirituality.

To enhance the quenching effect, Shen Can had the Source Stones acquired from Dai Land crushed into fifty thousand pieces, sprinkled directly into the Spirit Lake.

After undergoing quenching by Spiritual Water, even the lowest quality gold-iron blocks reached Tier Two quality, with more than half achieving Tier Three levels.

In the Spirit Lake, heat waves roiled, and small boats hurriedly darted across, with some clan members simply jumping into the lake to retrieve and toss the still steaming gold-iron blocks onto the shore.

At this moment, the edge of the Water Spirit Land, the water surface bubbled with heat.

"Ah, this hot spring feels good."

Amid the hustle of clan members working fervently, Little Dragon Fish lies lazily belly-up on the water surface, occasionally splashing small water droplets, while a little guy diligently scrubs its body.

"Over here, over here."

Little Chi Tiger dove underwater, reaching the other side of Little Dragon Fish, using both hands and tail to scratch its dragon scales.

"That side, that side."

Little Chi Tiger had just awoken, and Shen Can now had no time to care for beast cubs, so naturally left it to the experienced Little Dragon Fish.
