I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Chapter 557: Chapter 230: Two Kui Ox War Drums!_2

Seeing this, the Old Profound Turtle spat out another mouthful of water, causing the flames on the Bi Fang Firebird to dim further.

In the surrounding area, the Grand Array transformed from lush green to a fiery red, countless witch runes lit up in the Red Fire, engulfing the Bi Fang Firebird as its flames weakened.

Immediately, the array swiftly flashed through various colors and reverted to a green ocean.

Seeing this attack dissolve completely, the Old Profound Turtle charged in another direction.

At this moment, outside the Grand Array.

The Ao Mountain Bo Division’s flying ship circled around the Blazing Flame Array repeatedly, pouring down waves of Earth Energy, causing ripples to continually rise on the green ocean below.

"How is it?"

As the flying ship distanced itself from the Holy Envoy Race’s Wind Thunder Flying Ship, Lord Ao Mountain communicated with the Ao Mountain Grand Elder.

The Ao Mountain Grand Elder gently shook his head, his expression vigilant, his divine sense enveloping the small room.

The entire room was filled with Kui Ox Patterns.

The entire flying ship was the same, with Kui Ox Patterns running through every corner of the ship, glowing with spiritual light.

At this moment, inside the ship’s cabin, another war drum adorned with Kui Ox Patterns appeared on the Kui Ox War Drum, camouflaged as a stone table.

At a glance, the two drums appeared very similar when compared to the Kui Ox War Drum.

The stony surface, the indistinct beast pattern, they seemed like twin brothers.

But upon closer inspection, the drum in the Ao Mountain Grand Elder’s hand had sparser patterns and a slightly darker hue.

However, the beast pattern on this war drum surged with a dim radiance, indicating that it was an extremely powerful witch artifact.

This Kui Ox Drum was actually stolen from the Yongshan Bo Division, albeit not a genuine Kui Ox War Drum, but still a tier four high-grade witch artifact.

This drum could be activated by Divine Treasure Martial Artists.

According to Ao Mountain Bo Division’s own speculation, it might be because the Kui Ox War Drum was too famous.

Therefore, during the heyday of the Yongshan Bo Division, a strong member of their clan crafted this replica war drum artifact based on the Kui Ox War Drum.

It was precisely because the Kui Ox War Drum was too famous that it overshadowed this replica drum’s reputation.

Plus, the sudden and complete downfall of Yongshan made everyone unaware of the existence of this replica drum.

Gradually, as Ao Mountain’s people concealed the truth over generations, the divisions of Yongyi only knew the Kui Ox War Drum, unaware of the existence of a replica war drum.

The sound difference between the two drums was almost indistinguishable, enough to confuse the real with the fake.

Lord Ao Mountain glanced at the Blazing Flame Race Territory. This time he took the risk of bringing the war drum to find someone capable of activating its sound.

He had wanted to do this long ago.

But Ao Mountain Bo Division first drew attention due to rumors of collusion with Xiaoyang, causing other Bo Divisions to notice them, each one was difficult to deal with.

At that time, these guys truly wanted to carve up Ao Mountain.

Later, involvement with the Marquis Fist Technique delayed matters for some time, and then the sacrificial events led to the clan’s closure.

This delay was prolonged unexpectedly. He thought the clan closure would pass before taking action, but then the Holy Envoy Race, which led to the closure of various divisions, descended in person.

From the start, they intended to destroy the rebellious Bo Division in the northern part of Yongyi.

Knowing the inside story, Ao Mountain couldn’t activate the war drum, neither could the Celestial Monster, nor Cyan Sheep or Changyou, and certainly not the Holy Envoy Race that captured the Human Race for sacrifices.

Since they were all in the same league but couldn’t entice the war drum’s favor, then the opposing tribe must be capable of doing so, right?

Look at the place where the tribe was located.

Northern Ji!

Where was the place that first caused the Kui Ox War Drum’s disturbance?

Still Northern Ji!

Before coming, Lord Ao Mountain thought that the tribe the Holy Envoy Race wanted to annihilate obviously wouldn’t survive until next year.

If it truly was the tribe capable of activating the Kui Ox War Drum, and if it were completely wiped out, wouldn’t there be no chance left to find the method to trigger the drum’s sound?

With determination, he brought the war drum along.

He also brought the replica war drum hidden within their clan.

If there was any anomaly, he would use the replica for a headcount.

The risk of losing a tier four witch artifact to activate a legendary tier six artifact was substantial, but the gains were significant.

The hand of the Ao Mountain Grand Elder rested on the replica war drum. If there were any movements from the hidden drum, he would immediately strike the replica, then store the genuine drum in the Grotto Heaven, completing the swap.

Beneath the Kui Ox table was the entrance to the Grotto Heaven, allowing the swap in a breath.

Regrettably, after three days of vigilance, the war drum made no sound.

"If your spirit is low, take the treasure medicine. Do not slack off at any cost."

Lord Ao Mountain instructed the Grand Elder, stepped out of the cabin, and continued to activate the witch array on the flying ship to attack the Blazing Flame Bo Division’s array.

Rumble!

Clusters of energy clashed above the array, within the town Yanran Race Leader, and the Old Profound Turtle resolutely struck, dispersing the energy falling from the flying ship.

Though the exploding energy still reverberated on the witch array, it was much weaker than the direct impact of the ship’s energy on the array.

Under the continuous bombardment, the witch array never ceased shaking. Within the Grand Array, another batch of spiritually fatigued clan members was replaced.

In Shen Can’s estimation, the attack and defense battle could last a long time, so he had naturally made preparations, with the clan members taking turns to rest in shifts.

Chirp!

A piercing chirp echoed, and six black dots from afar in the forest approached rapidly.

Seeing this, Xuan Zhang and Xuan Qii, who were guarding the flying ship, rose to greet them.

When the group returned again, they charged directly into the Blazing Flame Array.
