Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1223: Chapter 807: The First Step to Clearing Out the Ancient Relic Array

“Caw caw caw~~”

The Golden Crow circled in the mining cave, using its raspy voice to call out.

However, after a long while, there was no response.

Yang Zhenshan looked at the Golden Crow in surprise—is this creature really not a raven?

Alright, it seems not, at least the Golden Feathered Fire Crows didn’t understand its cawing.

Seemingly sensing the doubt in Yang Zhenshan’s eyes, the Golden Crow immediately became angry, a dense flame enveloped its body.

Flames rose, the scorching heat filled the entire cave.

“Don’t use True Sun Fire!”

The stingy Yang Zhenshan quickly reminded.

No choice, if this fire ignites, that would cost at least five thousand Spirit Stones.

Yang Zhenshan really can’t afford it.

“Caw caw~~~”

The Golden Crow did not release True Sun Fire, it just withheld it, unleashing the power of True Fire as it pleased.

At this moment, its cry was filled with anger, echoing through the cave like the roar from a Fire God.

Right then, from deep within the cave, a chorus of crow cawing started.

Caw caw~~

Caw caw~~

Caw caw~~

The noisy calls drew closer, multiplying.

A moment later, flocks of Golden Feathered Fire Crows, feathers shining like golden flames, flew out from the cave. They circled around the Golden Crow, like birds flocking to a phoenix, yet the cacophony made Yang Zhenshan feel headache.

What gave Yang Zhenshan even more of a headache was that there were more than three hundred Golden Feathered Fire Crows here!

These were over three hundred Mutant Beasts, comparable to the Heavenly Gang Stage, although some may not match a Heavenly Gang Stage Martial Artist, it was still a formidable force.

The Golden Crow looked at the Golden Feathered Fire Crows, immediately showing a proud expression.

“Master, they all came!”

“Uh, can you order them?” Yang Zhenshan asked.

“Yes, if they don’t obey, I’ll lock them in the furnace for refining!” the Golden Crow said confidently.

“Alright, take them to clear the cave, kill all Mutant Beasts you come across, and yes, you’re allowed to use True Sun Fire once!” Yang Zhenshan, fearing the Golden Crow might not manage well, specially permitted it to release True Sun Fire once.

“Understood! Caw caw~~”

Next moment, it led over three hundred Golden Feathered Fire Crows into the cave, soon the cave emitted waves of intense heat.

Yang Zhenshan naturally did not enter the cave, he waited quietly outside.

After about a quarter of an hour, the Golden Crow emerged from the first cave with over three hundred Golden Feathered Fire Crows, then entered the second one.

The strength of the more than three hundred Golden Feathered Fire Crows was truly terrifying, and the key was they acted together.

Although Golden Feathered Fire Crows are social creatures, they generally gather in small groups, rarely assembling peacefully.

The Golden Crow could gather them and have them follow orders because it possessed True Sun Fire.

True Sun Fire is an abnormal fire nurtured by the heavens and earth, the ultimate fire of pure yang, even a wisp makes the Golden Crow immensely powerful.

The Golden Crow Eight Trigrams Furnace is a Mid-grade Spiritual Treasure precisely because it holds a wisp of True Sun Fire.

For the Golden Feathered Fire Crows, True Sun Fire is sacred, and the Golden Crow bearing it is like a deity.

They are like devoted believers, willing to be driven by the Golden Crow with True Sun Fire.

The more than three hundred Golden Feathered Fire Crows quickly cleared the dozen mining caves at the bottom of the main cave. Inside, Gold-devouring Rats and Crystalized Demon Spiders were all burned to death.

Only the Spiritual Amber Moths were left, not because the Golden Feathered Fire Crows couldn’t kill them, but because Yang Zhenshan deliberately had the Golden Crow save them.

Spiritual Amber Moths have many uses, their secreted Spiritual Amber is a rare medicinal material, and they can also serve as food for the Golden Feathered Fire Crows.

Since the Golden Crow could control the Golden Feathered Fire Crows, Yang Zhenshan naturally wanted to bring them to the Spirit Source Land for nurturing, thus adding another controllable Mutant Beast to it.

While the Golden Feathered Fire Crows were clearing the cave, Yang Zhenshan had already started preparing nests for them.

He placed the nests on the Flame Mountain used for Alchemy, which conveniently had a fire vein suitable for Golden Feathered Fire Crow habitation and Spiritual Amber Moth growth.

Yang Zhenshan casually drew out a few more fire veins on the Flame Mountain, then carved out caves.

After about half a day, the Golden Crow led the Fire Crows to clear over eighty caves, Yang Zhenshan unceremoniously ordered the Golden Crow to lead the Fire Crows into the Spirit Source Land.

This counts as the first gain from entering the Ancient Array.

Three hundred Mutant Beasts are certainly a significant gain.

Yet this is only the beginning.

The Pocket World Gate opened, Zhou Tianci and others emerged with five hundred Guardian Army soldiers to further eliminate cave danger, preparing for subsequent mining.

Over five hundred people appeared at the cave’s bottom, instantly enlivening the previously empty cave.

“Alright, find a place to settle down, those caves should be suitable for you to stay!” Yang Zhenshan said to the crowd.

The crowd received their orders and immediately sprang into action.

First, they tidied the caves, then brought out the prepared supplies, then cooked and rested quietly overnight to thoroughly inspect every corner of the cave.
