The thought flashed by, Qin Jin looked at Qi Chuan.
Compared to Xia Rock Tiger, Qi Chuan's progress was a bit slower.
However, with the Breathing Technique being a Cultivation Technique that Martial Arts Family initiates must start practicing, initiation is not difficult, especially now with Qin Jin's unique teaching method, which is far ahead.
With the passage of time, Qi Chuan also successfully mastered it.
He has reached old age, and his vitality is declining, but he once had a decent foundation. As he operates the Breathing Technique now, the stagnation brought by old age seems to dissipate somewhat.
After they both mastered it, the Martial Arts Divine Being in their hearts disappeared.
At a certain moment.
Xia Rock Tiger first opened his eyes.
His gaze was sharp, his aura fluctuating, standing there like an unsheathed sword. After opening his eyes, he brought out both arms, making a bow-pulling gesture, and the patterns on his chest flickered, a Thunderbolt Arrow condensed with Spiritual Power forming in his hands.
He never held a bow, yet manifested an arrow.
In the next instant!
The Thunderbolt Arrow flew out.
Boom!
Accompanied by a deafening roar, the Thunderbolt Arrow struck one end, suddenly exploding with considerable power.
The peculiar scene created by Xia Rock Tiger's cultivation had already drawn the attention of other tribe members.
At this moment.
Witnessing this scene, those members of the Hunting Team who were dissecting the giant rhinoceros exchanged looks, eyes filled with shock.
"Brother Hu has become more formidable!"
"If the tribe were still around, Brother Hu might compete directly for the team lead."
"How did he do it?"
"Looks like it's taught by Lord Sacrificial Spirit."
"The former Stone Saint lord wasn't like this."
Amidst the discussions, Xia Rock Tiger looked towards the spot where the arrow fell, and exhaled deeply.
He did not hesitate, kneeling on the ground, "Thanks to Lord Sacrificial Spirit for passing down the technique!"
Beside him.
Qi Chuan had also stopped cultivating.
He knelt down as well, his voice somewhat trembling, "Thank you, Lord Sacrificial Spirit!"
Though they had just begun to familiarize themselves with the Breathing Technique, both had held certain positions in the Sacrificial Fire Tribe and had some insight, already realizing the importance of the Breathing Technique.
All along...
The people of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe were stuck in the same cycle.
Their combat effectiveness gradually grew from childhood, peaked in youth, but sharply declined with age, becoming useless.
During this process, their growth was limited, far insufficient when facing true formidable enemies, relying solely on the power of the Sacrificial Spirit.
Now, the emergence of the Breathing Technique showed them the possibility of further advancement.
Qin Jin looked up at the two.
From sincere gratitude, Wish Power was generated, relatively speaking, the golden mist above Xia Rock Tiger's was thicker.
The just consumed Wish Power was replenished.
"Rise, all of you."
Qin Jin said.
The two followed his words.
After Xia Rock Tiger stood up, he hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "Lord Sacrificial Spirit, can we pass this Breathing Technique to other tribe members?"
"Naturally."
Qin Jin's voice sounded in their hearts, "Teaching the Breathing Technique to you two was to have you pass it on."
"Any member of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe can cultivate the Breathing Technique."
He paused, "The tribe's children are still to be tempered mainly through medicinal baths, fortifying Treasure Blood."
"The Breathing Technique focuses on enhancing Life Energy; those under sixteen should not practice it prematurely, as it would affect normal physical growth."
Qi Chuan and Xia Rock Tiger exchanged glances, seeing excitement in each other's eyes, and nodded together.
"Go then."
The right arm of Deep Driller pointed forward, "Now, you can teach others the new technique you have learned."
"Do not disturb me."
Upon hearing this, the two saluted and left from beside Deep Driller.
On the spot.
Deep Driller stood tall.
Qin Jin watched as the Sacrificial Fire Tribe, apart from children, was quickly gathered, starting to practice the Breathing Technique under Xia Rock Tiger's guidance.
With the aid of Wish Power, the relevant information was imprinted on Xia Rock Tiger's mind, making him thoroughly familiar, and this time, he taught others effortlessly.
Inside the cockpit.
Qin Jin temporarily cut off the mental connection with Deep Driller, putting the mining machine into standby mode.
He himself began operating the Breathing Technique, directly starting cultivation.
One's own self is the fundamental root.
He had never slackened.
…
Two suns set.
The Great Wilderness was engulfed by the night.
Inside the settlement, flames flickered, the giant rhinoceros meat was roasted, emitting a unique fragrance.
On the other side of the fire pit, a large container made from giant rhinoceros bones was erected, filled with Beast Blood and Great Medicine.
Among the tribe, there were only five children now, who were lifted up one by one and thrown inside.
This is an inevitable scene for the children of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe.
Watching the children grimace in pain from the medicinal bath, the tribe members relaxed greatly, revealing bright smiles.
Innocent children always bring vitality.
At this moment.
One end of the settlement, Deep Driller made a move.
All the tribe members' gazes focused over instantly.
"Lord Sacrificial Spirit."
Qi Chuan's aged voice was the first to sound, guessing, "Are you... preparing to depart?"
"Yes."
Qin Jin communicated through heart, "Since you have already mastered the Breathing Technique, prepare thoroughly, then go clear the surrounding Fierce Beasts."
Leaving a sentence.
Qin Jin no longer hesitated, Deep Driller moved forward, departing from the firelight, into the darkness.
Behind.
The members of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe watched Deep Driller's departing figure.
The relationship between Sacrificial Spirits and the Human Race is relatively pure.
Though it was their first encounter today, after fighting side by side, especially after receiving the technique passed down by Qin Jin, it was enough for them to offer their sincere faith.
"Lord Jin is quite different from Lord Stone Saint."
Xia Rock Tiger spoke, "In my memory, apart from fighting, Lord Stone Saint just lay in the tribe, barely moving."
His words revealed sadness.
The former Sacrificial Spirit Stone Saint of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe was a strange stone that typically sat within the tribe. As a child, Xia Rock Tiger had played nearby with other partners.
After he spoke, Qi Chuan shook his head, "The temperaments of Sacrificial Spirits differ; Lord Jin mentioned he has matters to handle deep in the Great Wilderness, so he can't guard over us day and night."
"Perhaps, he passed on the Breathing Technique precisely to help us protect ourselves."
Upon hearing this, Xia Rock Tiger showed hope, "With the Breathing Technique, our tribe's combat power will greatly increase, allowing us to hunt fiercer Fierce Beasts, laying a stronger foundation for future children."
"Sacrificial Spirits are varied; I wonder what Lord Sacrificial Spirit's true form is..."
He looked at Qi Chuan, "To master a True Scripture suitable for cultivation, Elder Qi, do you think... Lord Sacrificial Spirit might come from the legendary Divine Country?"
"That's not something we should investigate."
Qi Chuan's expression turned serious, interrupting him.
"Xia Rock Tiger, the willingness of Lord Sacrificial Spirit to accept our offerings is already a blessing."
"From tomorrow, you will act according to Lord Sacrificial Spirit's orders."
"Though fate almost extinguished our tribe, finding a new Lord Sacrificial Spirit is a great fortune; we must not disappoint him."
Xia Rock Tiger's expression also turned solemn.
…
Deep Driller moved away from the Sacrificial Fire Tribe in the night.
This time, he chose a different direction, activating the scanning module, recording surrounding information, creating a map as he proceeded.
After half an hour, Deep Driller stopped, Qin Jin called forth the Profession panel, prepared to depart.
Just then, he paused.
With the increase in Life Energy, the five senses of a Martial Arts Family continuously sharpen, growing ever keener.
At this very moment, he heard a dull vibrating sound.
The vibration sounded like footsteps, coming from afar, yet echoed thunderously, its sound spreading, causing the ground to tremble.
"What sort of giant creature would cause footsteps like this?"
The thought flashed through his mind.
Activating the camouflage module, Qin Jin was ready to leave the Great Wilderness at any time, advancing about several hundred meters toward the direction of the footsteps, before halting.
Despite being far from the source of the sound, he could already see its form.
Because it was an immense creature over a hundred meters tall!
