Chapter 21: Jiao Transformation

The old tribe he mentioned naturally refers to the Sacrificial Fire Tribe of the past.

"Bring them here."

Qin Jin’s thoughts shifted, issuing the command.

"Yes."

Xia Rock Tiger moved swiftly, leaving with large strides.

Beside him.

Qi Chuan approached.

Compared to their first meeting, this elder’s complexion had improved significantly.

The new tribe gradually stabilized, practicing the Breathing Technique, which improved his declining vitality and now reduced the sense of decay, adding some energy and spirit.

"Lord Sacrificial Spirit."

Under Qin Jin’s arrangement, he was deemed the current tribal leader of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe, and after bowing, he said, "You haven’t been with the tribe these past few days, we’ve prepared a resting place for you."

"Although somewhat simple, we have limited manpower and time, we will gradually improve it."

"You see..."

The Deep Driller slightly bowed, looking at him.

Qin Jin’s voice echoed in his mind.

"Lead the way."

After the command was given, Qi Chuan led the way, stepping into the settlement.

Along the way, the members of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe cast their gazes with sincere devotion.

Some unseen new faces, upon seeing the Deep Driller and recognizing his identity, felt a new surge of Wish Power.

The Sacrificial Spirit is tightly connected with human tribes. These new tribe members joining the Sacrificial Fire Tribe under the propagation and influence of Qi Chuan, utter prayers, generating Wish Power together.

And now.

Having seen Qin Jin, the Sacrificial Spirit, their faith found anchorage, increasing the Wish Power generated.

"Wish Power has many uses."

"Once the Sacrificial Fire Tribe develops to a certain degree, Wish Power can be used to display miracles and consolidate faith."

As thoughts flashed by, Qin Jin delved into deeper contemplation.

"Through the Profession panel, Wish Power is quantified and under my control."

"Then, what does Wish Power signify for the native Sacrificial Spirits in the Great Wilderness?"

Qin Jin recorded this question in his mind.

With the help of the Profession panel, he embarked on a completely unexpected route within the Great Wilderness.

Now... there are still many issues to explore clearly.

The Deep Driller halted before the tallest, most distinctive building in the settlement, as Qin Jin’s gaze directed forward.

The first thing to catch his eye was the extremely wide entrance.

The resting place for the Sacrificial Spirit, constructed of timber, its top covered with large leaves appeared like a giant shed from afar, spacious inside, akin to an empty hall.

Sacrificial Spirit Hall.

Qi Chuan was right; it was indeed very simple.

However...

Despite having a physique far surpassing the average person, constructing a building that can accommodate the Deep Driller in such a short time would surely require immense effort.

"You are thoughtful."

Qin Jin’s voice echoed in Qi Chuan’s mind.

"You are too kind."

Qi Chuan’s face broke into a smile: "Lord Sacrificial Spirit, please enter."

The Deep Driller strode in, entering the "Sacrificial Spirit Hall."

Once inside, Qin Jin’s gaze fell upon a spot.

In the depths of the hall, a massive chair was woven using giant wood as the foundation and thick vines resembling python bodies as decoration.

Inside the machinery cockpit, Qin Jin blinked his eyes.

"The Sacrificial Fire Tribe members have quite a variety of styles."

Beside him.

After entering the hall, Qi Chuan walked aside, picking up an animal skin bundle from there, brought it to the front of the Deep Driller.

He placed the bundle on the ground, unfolding it to reveal intertwined Crystal Cores in various colors.

Crystal Cores from the Extraordinary Creatures.

At a glance, there were three in total, varying in size and color.

"Lord Sacrificial Spirit."

Qi Chuan’s aged voice rang out: "Some are offerings from the new members joining the tribe during this period, some are trophies from the Hunting Team."

"The former Lord Stone Saint liked these very much, hopefully Lord Jin will like them too."

In the Great Wilderness, not all creatures contain Crystal Cores; like the last Double-Horned Giant Rhinoceros ambush, it did not possess a Crystal Core.

During the days waiting for the Sacrificial Spirit’s return, Qi Chuan clearly made plenty of preparations.

After offering the Crystal Cores, he also took out a roll of animal skin from his bosom.

He unfurled the animal skin, depicting simple routes, with certain areas specifically marked.

This is a simple map of the vicinity around the Sacrificial Fire Tribe.

The time being short, the map’s range is limited, but it clearly shows the Sacrificial Fire Tribe’s earnest execution of Qin Jin’s commands without any slack.

"Qi Chuan, you did well."

Qin Jin stepped forward, the Deep Driller following, its form turning, the ten-meter-tall Deep Driller sat directly upon the giant chair.

It extended its right arm, hovering above Qi Chuan, consuming Wish Power, letting strands of golden brilliance descend and merge into Qi Chuan’s physique.

Reward for merit must be given.

He is deeply bound with the Sacrificial Fire Tribe and will not be stingy in this regard.

As the golden brilliance integrated, Qi Chuan sensed a warm feeling spreading through his physique.

He hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, Lord Sacrificial Spirit."

"Rise."

Qi Chuan stood up.

Just then.

A robust voice rang out from outside the Sacrificial Spirit Hall.

"Lord Sacrificial Spirit."

Xia Rock Tiger led from the front, followed by four new faces.

Qin Jin’s gaze turned towards them, three men and one woman, their expressions somewhat nervous, they bowed, not daring to meet his eyes.

Qin Jin did not find this surprising.

Even in the initial meeting with Qi Chuan, Qin Jin had gained some understanding of the former Sacrificial Fire Tribe.

It was a tribe of tens of thousands, the Sacrificial Spirit Stone Saint although gentle in personality, held an extremely revered status, with ordinary tribe members rarely having a chance to meet it.

Like Qi Chuan, Xia Rock Tiger, they had a certain standing within the former Sacrificial Fire Tribe, unlike ordinary tribal members.

"They are the ones who saw the distant battle."

Xia Rock Tiger explained: "According to them, they were two giant beasts towering over the sky!"

Qin Jin’s gaze focused slightly.

He looked towards the four and his voice echoed in their minds.

"Now, recall the scene you once witnessed."

The sudden voice in their hearts startled the four as they appeared flustered.

"Do not panic."

Beside them, Qi Chuan furrowed his brow slightly, realizing what had happened: "That is Lord Sacrificial Spirit communicating with you, follow his orders."

Under Qi Chuan’s reassurance.

The four gradually calmed, starting to recall the scene in their minds.

Through the mental connection, Wish Power drained, the scene was mirrored in Qin Jin’s mind, making him feel as though he was there, seeing the situation the few had witnessed.

In the distance, two giant beasts over a hundred meters tall clashed on the wild plains.

Their enormous forms hundreds of meters tall, indeed appeared to tower over the sky in the eyes of these ordinary tribe members.

At the emergence of the scene, Qin Jin’s attention immediately focused on one of the giant beasts.

The opponent has flowing hair, long horns, horse’s body with a human face...

It was exactly the Horse-headed God Qin Jin had personally seen!

He didn’t expect one of the battle’s protagonists to be this Mountain God recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Shifting his gaze, Qin Jin looked towards the other giant beast.

It was a Three-headed Exotic Python!

Its body stretched several hundred meters, scales ice-white, with three python heads, extremely cold, and beneath its body, were several bizarrely shaped exotic claws growing.

On the upper end of the central python head, two protrusions resembling horns were forming.

Talons grow, horns form.

This signifies...

It shows signs of transforming into a Jiao Dragon!
