Chapter 446: Chapter 446: Entering the Woods

"Oh my!" Yun Yan still looked confused, unable to understand the situation at all.

Although it had gained some intelligence, it was very limited, much like that of a three-year-old child; simply put, it was no different from a dog’s intelligence.

(Big Yellow Dog: "...")

Shi Hao sighed, "It’s your own mouth you can’t control. So be it; I’ll take you back later."

Yun Yan looked displeased, but what could it do? After all, it was not the master.

Shi Hao stood up and walked towards the cave entrance.

He held the torch high, as if he were holding a sacred object.

—They shouldn’t be tricked, after all, no one here has lived for a thousand years to know what the true Spiritual Fire looks like.

"Sacred Fire!" Seeing Shi Hao emerge, the people of the Eight Tribes were excited, their bodies trembling.

Just obtaining the Sacred Fire would allow entrance into the Jade Forest Land and retrieval of the sacred objects to open the door back home.

"Kill!"

At that moment, they became even more frenzied, charging towards Shi Hao.

The Fish People, of course, went all out, as escorting Shi Hao out successfully would make them the winners of this tribal conflict, allowing them to take their entire tribe back home.

The outsiders, however, were less enthusiastic.

It turned out to be just a torch—there was nothing worth fighting over. Once Jade Forest Land was opened, they could simply follow inside, as they were not bound by any ancestral teachings or tribal rules.

However, there were still those with sharp eyes who recognized the flame burning on the torch.

"Spiritual Fire!"

"So that’s it, this is the reward given to us outsiders."

"Hmm, let’s not act just yet. If we devour this Spiritual Fire now, we’ll have to make enemies with the powerful warriors of the Eight Tribes."

"We’ll speak once Jade Forest Land is opened."

These powerful people exchanged opinions, their eyes gleaming with greed.

—In fact, with their strength, the Yun Yan Fire could not offer them any boost in combat power, but Spiritual Fire was the closest existence to the Flame Rule, studying it would greatly benefit those who cultivated the Fire System Rules.

So, even if they were not Martial Artists of the Fire System, they could sell it for astonishing resources.

This value was even more precious than a six-star Spiritual Medicine by ten times, a hundred times!

The moment Shi Hao rushed into the cave was to reduce the unnecessary slaughter among the Eight Tribes, hence he quickly moved his legs, running swiftly.

Countless attacks came his way, but the Fish People warriors were fearless in death, blocking what they could and using their bodies to bear the attacks for Shi Hao, ensuring he could successfully rush out of the mountain region.

It was truly tragic, the area around Shi Hao was continuously red, all turning into the blood and flesh of the Fish People warriors.

Shi Hao clenched his teeth and increased his speed to the maximum, not inferior to the experts of the Founding King Court, and there were indeed few on the scene who could intercept him.

Finally, he rushed out of the mountainous area.

The people of the Eight Tribes stopped their actions simultaneously, the Fish People, although numerous had died or were injured, were each excited and joyful, shaking their fish spears and cheering, while the other seven tribes were disheartened, looking as if they had no future.

"Let’s go to Jade Forest!" The Soul Elder came out, personally escorting Shi Hao.

Shi Hao held aloft the torch, and the Fish People warriors followed closely behind, with the other seven tribes following behind them, and the outsiders came last.

This made the outsiders click their tongues in wonder, more dedicated to their promise than to their desire to return to the Ancestral Land, stating they would not fight and then sticking to their word.

Before long, they arrived at Jade Forest Land, where the black wind still blew, filled with corrosiveness.

The Soul Elder gave Shi Hao a slight smile, filled with encouragement and gratitude. He meant to convey that since Shi Hao had brought victory to the tribe, the infinite glory was now his to claim, and it was his duty to unlock the Sacred Land.

Shi Hao couldn’t help feeling anxious. Damn, the original Spiritual Fire had been devoured by the Cloud Flame Fire! In his mind, the consumption of one fire by another was meant to assimilate each other’s essence and rules, a sort of fusion. But that was, after all, just speculation.

What if he was wrong?

If the Cloud Flame Fire failed to open a passage and he was corroded into nothingness by the black wind, wouldn’t that be a huge loss!

But if he now refused, might he be slapped to death by the Soul Elder? And would that arouse suspicion from the elder?

Well, perhaps he should just give it a try.

Shi Hao raised the torch high and slowly walked forward.

All the tribal warriors watched, their expressions filled with devout reverence.

Closer, closer, closer.

Suddenly, a black wind struck. Shi Hao faced it with his torch and saw that the black wind was actually burned away, creating an opening that grew larger and larger, eventually forming a Wind Cave.

Incredible!

Shi Hao found it miraculous, yet the tribal warriors took it as a matter of course.

The ancestral teachings had declared this: use the key to open a pathway, retrieve the sacred object, and then lead all the tribesmen, young and old, to open the door to their Ancestral Land.

Shi Hao led the way, followed closely by the Fish People Tribe, with the other seven tribes behind, and outsiders lagging at the rear.

The Wind Cave was not long, and Shi Hao soon emerged, gazing at the strange forest with a dreamlike sensation.

—Such plants did not exist in the Eastern Fire Continent.

"The sacred object!" The Soul Elder exclaimed fervently, no longer caring about the "key" as he dashed deeper into the forest.

The warriors of the Fish People Tribe waited in place, while the warriors from the other seven tribes scattered and sat down.

As losers, they had no right to return, yet they still wanted to witness that thrilling moment, which would become a tale to teach their future generations.

"Young Asura, since you are here, the torch is now useless. Hand it over to me," said one of the mightier beings from the Supplementing Divine Temple who could no longer hold back, making the first move toward Shi Hao.

That was Spiritual Fire, priceless!

Shi Hao frowned, realizing someone recognized the Spiritual Fire and even wanted to snatch it!

What to do?

The opponent was from the Supplementing Divine Temple; what could he use to counter them?

"Hehe, better let me keep it safe," another powerful being from the Supplementing Divine Temple said.

"You pack of hypocrites, why not just say outright that you want the Spiritual Fire? What’s the point?" A third member from the Supplementing Divine Temple spoke, snorting, "Kid, hand over the Spiritual Fire, it’s not something you should possess, don’t throw your life away for nothing!"

"Yiya ya!" Cloud Flame Fire couldn’t hold back any longer. What the heck, were these people trying to rob it?

It quickly leaped onto Shi Hao’s shoulder, transforming into a small figure, then flipped the bird at the powerful beings of the Supplementing Divine Temple.

Want to rob me? First, ask if my master agrees!

Damn, you dare to mock us?

Shi Hao was speechless. Although he was exceptionally strong, even if he advanced further, reaching Self-Observation, he could not compete against the Supplementing Divine Temple.

Not to mention the Supplementing Divine Temple, even the Founding King Court was too much for him.

"Hahaha!" Just then, only the laughter of the Soul Elder could be heard, approaching from a distance, and what was terrifying was that his body was covered in black lines, as if all of his veins had swollen up.
