Sacrificial Fire Tribe.
The women and children staying behind at the settlement paused in their actions, their gazes cast toward the distance.
Some held concerned expressions, with tightly clenched fists displaying their internal tension, while others showed apathy, with little emotional fluctuation.
Over the past few dozens of days, they had endured hellish scenes, tribal extermination, fleeing, and from the initial panic, they gradually adapted, growing numb.
Their sights were set afar.
Right at that moment.
Exclamations arose.
"Lord Sacrificial Spirit, it's Lord Sacrificial Spirit!"
"They have returned!"
Following the initial exclamations, everyone's gaze focused on the distant end, and upon realizing everything, cheers erupted within the settlement.
Following their line of sight.
At the end of their view stood a towering figure, emanating dignity, leading at the forefront.
It was the Deep Driller!
With a height of nearly ten meters, it exerted a powerful sense of oppression; the black and red color scheme reflecting unique radiance under the sunlight, its cold mechanical creation instilled a sense of reassurance among the tribespeople staying back at the settlement.
In the Great Wilderness.
Without the protection of Sacrificial Spirits, human tribes could not survive for long.
The Deep Driller led at the forefront.
Behind.
The Double-Horned Giant Rhinoceros was entangled with special vines by the Hunting Team members, dragged across the ground as their trophy.
Returning along the journey.
Qi Chuan and Xia Rock Tiger walked beside the Deep Driller.
Seeing the women and children in the settlement, Xia Rock Tiger's eyes brightened slightly, but soon dimmed again.
In the past, when they returned from hunting, countless tribespeople welcomed them, celebrating together.
Now.
Everything had become an mirage.
The giant rhinoceros was dragged aside, Xia Rock Tiger directed the Hunting Team tribespeople to begin dissecting the rhinoceros, and after seeing them begin their task, he approached the Deep Driller.
"Lord Sacrificial Spirit."
He offered a salute: "Everything has been arranged properly."
The Deep Driller nodded in response.
Beside Xia Rock Tiger stood Qi Chuan.
In the cockpit, Qin Jin's thoughts moved slightly, his inner voice resonated in the hearts of these two.
Qin Jin's voice was calm: "In my absence, Qi Chuan will be in charge, and Xia Rock Tiger, you will serve as the assistant."
Qi Chuan and Xia Rock Tiger exchanged glances and nodded simultaneously.
Though only acquainted for a few days, Qi Chuan's performance was evident, and he managed to swiftly get the Hunting Team to accept the new Sacrificial Spirit, displaying remarkable capability.
Thus, Qin Jin established this arrangement.
He unhurriedly continued: "There are three tasks in total."
"Since we intend to rebuild the Sacrificial Fire Tribe here, we must understand the surrounding situation."
"Xia Rock Tiger."
"Starting tomorrow, you will lead tribespeople to gather intelligence from the surrounding areas, noting places inhabited by demon beasts, locations containing rare treasures, and compile them into a map as quickly as possible."
Listening to these instructions.
Xia Rock Tiger's demeanor became serious: "Understood."
"Just record; if you encounter fierce beasts, refrain from acting rashly unless necessary."
Qin Jin's tone shifted, turning to Qi Chuan.
"Qi Chuan."
"In the nearby areas, set up more markers to inform the fleeing tribespeople that you are rebuilding the tribe here and recruit more tribespeople to join."
"As per your account, the ancient relic species that attacked the Sacrificial Fire Tribe came from the depths of the Great Wilderness."
"The vast Great Wilderness has countless tribes and villages, and there might be other places that also suffered due to that ancient relic species."
"Try to find their traces, and if you discover them, they can be integrated into the tribe as well."
"I understand, old one." Qi Chuan nodded without objection.
He, being older and having experienced much, did not mind accepting new tribespeople.
After all, the Sacrificial Fire Tribe is now in a nominal existence, and in the Great Wilderness, the original tribes were established by gathering unknown people.
"As for the third task."
In the cockpit, Qin Jin's gaze lowered slightly.
In that instant, as Wish Power was consumed, aided by Qin Jin's Spiritual Will, images and information reflected in the minds of Qi Chuan and Xia Rock Tiger.
"What is this?"
Xia Rock Tiger instinctively exclaimed in surprise.
"Close your eyes and carefully experience it."
Qin Jin's authoritative voice resonated.
Although Qi Chuan didn't speak, a look of shock had already risen on his aged face.
Both men closed their eyes tightly, meticulously observing the images in their minds and comprehending the information within.
At that moment.
In the minds of these two, an undefined faceless figure appeared, executing a Technique, honing self, and enhancing Life Energy.
Like a teaching Divine Being.
That is...
Thunder Beast Breathing Technique!
As the faceless Divine Being performed martial exercises, information about the Breathing Technique flowed into their minds like a gentle stream.
Transmitting Technique!
This was a thought Qin Jin had conceived when he had previously left the Great Wilderness.
Though initially acquainted, as the current Sacrificial Spirit of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe, Qin Jin had already established the deepest bond with the tribespeople of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe, where the relationship between the Sacrificial Spirit and the Human Race could be described as symbiotic in some sense.
The tribespeople of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe were his greatest support in the Great Wilderness; their strength growth could further accumulate more Wish Power for him.
Therefore, Qin Jin wasn't stingy with his investment.
Among the tribes in the Great Wilderness, there was no so-called Cultivation Technique, but within the Federation, there existed refined Cultivation Systems honed through trial and error!
The Breathing Technique of the Martial Arts Family may not be the most suitable Magic Technique for this world, but for the tribespeople of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe, it's an evolutionary route far beyond the present, comparable to the True Scripture from the Human Divine Country Qi Chuan speaks of.
In Qin Jin's mind, there were even deeper thoughts.
If the Sacrificial Fire Tribe could prosper smoothly, as tribespeople cultivate Martial Arts and everyone becomes dragon-like, then... in the future, perhaps, they could gather collective strength to derive a truly suitable Cultivation Technique for the Great Wilderness.
The faceless Divine Being transmits the Technique in the mind.
While Qi Chuan and Xia Rock Tiger marveled at the Sacrificial Spirit's great power, their mind and spirit delved within.
Observing Martial Arts within their minds, both couldn't help but directly attempt it.
Their eyes closed tight, gradually adjusting their breathing rhythm. According to the teachings of the Divine Being, they meticulously executed each move to gradually familiarize themselves with the Breathing Technique.
Qin Jin scrutinized the scene.
The first to experience change was Xia Rock Tiger.
Following the Breathing Technique's movements, continuously executing them; with the passing of time, in a certain instant, accompanied by a muffled thunderous sound, he clearly sensed a special power within his physique.
That is...
Life Energy!
Being able to sense Life Energy signified an initial mastery of the Breathing Technique.
As the Breathing Technique continued to operate, in the eyes of others, arcs of electricity appeared around Xia Rock Tiger's body.
This scene drew the attention of the surrounding tribespeople.
On his chest, the golden lines produced from refining the Treasure Skill faintly flickered at this moment, seemingly more solidified.
"Being able to refine Treasure Skill, indeed shows promising potential."
In Qin Jin's Spiritual Will perception, Xia Rock Tiger in front seemed like a radiant furnace, extremely burning.
That displayed the highly vigorous vital energy and blood.
"Using herbal baths for tempering, Beast Blood Body forging, the tribespeople of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe have all established extremely solid foundations."
"Now, the Breathing Technique has allowed the foundations they've laid to be utilized."
"In some sense, the tribespeople of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe have relied on external factors to cultivate vital energy and blood in the past."
"Now, although Xia Rock Tiger has initially practiced the Breathing Technique, with substantial vital energy and blood support, the enhancement speed of Life Energy will be extraordinarily remarkable."
"Furthermore, his physique was already tempered, soon, he will be able to break through to the Newborn Realm."
Qin Jin made a judgment in his mind.
