Chapter 1052: Huh? Top-grade ingredients?

From afar, the ancestral land of the Blue Tree Tribe looked like an ancient city; it wasn't large, and its walls appeared antiquated and dilapidated.

At the same time, above the city, a fortune golden dragon slowly circled.

This fortune golden dragon is the fortune possessed by the Blue Tree Tribe; other races have it too, but the stronger the race, the larger the fortune golden dragon hovering above their ancestral land.

The Human Race's fortune golden dragon is at least ten times larger than that of the Blue Tree Tribe.

"Just seize some fortune; destroying the ancestral land is too troublesome and would easily awaken the ancestral spirits."

Standing at the front of the crowd, White Ancestor spoke slowly.

The so-called ancestral spirits are the spirits of the Blue Tree Tribe's ancestors.

No specific reason can be given, but the souls of those who died in battle across the ages in the Myriad Races Ancestral Land seem to have a part retained by the heavenly dao, then return to each race's ancestral land.

Once the ancestral land faces danger, these ancestral spirits will be stirred.

Although these ancestral spirits have long lost any intelligence and fight purely by instinct, their combat power is not to be underestimated.

It is precisely because of the protection of these ancestral spirits that wiping out a tribe's ancestral land is not easy.

Often, they simply take what they can and leave; otherwise, fighting the ancestral spirits pointlessly would be meaningless.

After all, each tribe only wants the fortune; taking the advantage and leaving is enough, and the ancestral spirits won't pursue beyond the ancestral land.

Regarding this, everyone else had no objections; this was indeed the best choice.

"Later, half of us will block the ancestral spirits while the rest seize the fortune; don't get bogged down in battle—leave once you succeed."

"Yes."

After the elders gave their orders, the Human Race immediately marched straight toward the Blue Tree Tribe's garrison.

They entered the garrison quite easily, but as soon as they stepped inside, the stone tablet at the center blazed with light, and immediately, white apparitions appeared before everyone.

These apparitions showed no discernible faces, their auras varied in strength, and there were even two Emperor-level beings among them.

These are the Blue Tree Tribe's ancestral spirits, existing solely to guard the ancestral land; whenever outsiders step onto it, they manifest.

They uttered not a word, or rather, the ancestral spirits simply cannot speak.

As soon as they appeared, they charged straight at the Human Race.

The elders likewise made a swift decision and shouted in a low voice.

"Attack."

According to the prior plan, half the people blocked the Blue Tree Tribe's ancestral spirits, while the other half rushed straight toward the fortune golden dragon in the sky.

Using brute force, they tore the fortune away directly.

Ye Zhangqing had also intended to act, but suddenly, the long-silent dog system spoke up.

【Perfect food material detected; soul food material function activated.】

Huh???

Hearing the dog system's words, Ye Zhangqing froze, his gaze instantly turning suspicious toward those ancestral spirits.

This is also food material?

Besides, this is the first time I've heard of soul food material, and I never heard a peep from the soul dog system before.

After some research, Ye Zhangqing understood.

These ancestral spirits differ from ordinary souls, so they can be rated as food material; their grade is not low, even somewhat higher than that of Demon Race food material.

This is interesting—these ancestral spirits are actually food material, and, according to the dog system, the effect of this soul food material is even more terrifying.

While Ye Zhangqing was dazed, Sun Ming beside him also gave the ancestral spirits a strange look.

He was also a bit dazed; these ancestral spirits turned out to be perfect medicinal ingredients.............

The two stood there stunned, but the others weren't idle—those seizing fortune seized fortune, while those blocking the ancestral spirits fought them head-on.

After some entanglement, the elders saw that the time was about up, and the Blue Tree Tribe's fortune golden dragon had visibly shrunk a notch.

At the same time, these ancestral spirits before them grew ever fiercer; continuing the fight would likely cause casualties, not worth the loss.

Immediately, the elders ordered a retreat.

"Retreat."

With the order given, everyone quickly withdrew from the Blue Tree Tribe's ancestral land; after the Human Race fully retreated, those ancestral spirits indeed did not pursue, but slowly dissipated in midair, returning to the ancient tablet to continue slumbering.

The harvest was good; everyone wore smiles, except Ye Zhangqing and Sun Ming, whose faces looked somewhat odd.

Qi Xiong, seeing this, asked curiously.

"What's wrong? Your faces look so grim."

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing hesitated a moment, then said.

"That Shèngzhǔ... if I say these ancestral spirits are also a rare food material, would you believe me?"

Huh???

As soon as those words left his mouth, Qi Xiong's eyes lit up instantly, as if two beams of brilliance shot from his pupils.

"Really?"

"Absolutely certain, and its grade is even above that of Demon Race food material."

"Above Demon Race food material?"

What a fellow—when Ye Zhangqing said that, Qi Xiong immediately got energized.

What does Demon Race food material taste like? It's absolutely something that makes you linger and forget to leave.

Also, during this period, the Demon Race has grown increasingly timid, so even Qi Xiong and those Emperor-level elders of his can only use it to stave off hunger, rather than eat it regularly.

But now, Ye Zhangqing actually says these ancestral spirits are also food material, and even better than Demon Race food material.

Gazing gloomily at the Blue Tree Tribe's ancestral land, not knowing what Qi Xiong was thinking, after a moment he threw out a line.

"Wait a moment."

Then he hurried away.

Finding Yun Xiantai, Yu Mo, Shi Qingfeng, Bai Zu and the others, Qi Xiong repeated Ye Zhangqing's words.

Hearing that this primordial spirit was actually food material, the old ancestors also didn't expect it.

"Really food material?"

"Ye Zhangqing himself said it, and moreover said its taste is above that of Demon Race Food Material."

"In that case, it's not that we can't risk giving it a try."

Originally we only planned to take a little advantage and leave, but if you say these primordial spirits are also food material, then it's different.

Demon Race Food Material is inherently scarce, and eating Demon Race food material has become a bit tiresome; as the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but hard to go from extravagance to frugality.

Suddenly a new food material has appeared, and it's even tastier than Demon Race Food Material, so the old ancestors naturally aren't willing to let it pass.

After a moment of contemplation, Yunluo Shèngzhǔ was the first to speak up.

"Why not just destroy the Ke Lan clan's ancestral land?"

"I think we can give it a try."

"Not bad, how could we miss such an opportunity?"

"Then shall we go back again?"

"Mm, go back."

Originally we all planned to leave, but suddenly the old ancestors issued another order, saying they wanted to completely wipe out the Ke Lan clan's ancestral land and plunder all of its fortune.

Hearing this, everyone was confused; just a moment ago they were saying not to get stuck in battle—take a little advantage and leave—so how come they've just come out and now have to go back again?

Faced with the old ancestors' sudden change, everyone was somewhat puzzled, but once the news spread that the primordial spirit was a perfect food material, everyone's expressions instantly did a 180-degree turn.

You say this primordial spirit is food material? Then we won't be bored—immediately, everyone spoke up.

"Since that's the case, then the Ke Lan clan's ancestral land must be destroyed."

"Exactly, destroy them, seize their fortune, and we can also get a batch of food material."

"Destroy the Ke Lan clan's ancestral land."
