Hearing this, several people woke up as if from a dream and nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot the purpose of this trip. Let's move forward."
The group continued walking forward along the cave entrance.
After turning a corner, everyone saw the strange plant again, which was covered with thorns and emitting a faint red glow.
When a tribesman threw the fluorite in his hand forward to provide light, everyone saw the piles of bones on the ground through the dim light of the fluorite.
Even though they had heard some simple information from Chen Qingyu and others, the sight of those eerie white bones still made the tribe members feel nervous.
Chen Qingyu, who was walking in front, also slowly stopped when he was two meters away from the pile of bones.
If he were alone, he would not be afraid, but he had to consider the tribesmen behind him. If some mechanism was triggered, he would not be sure that he could protect the tribesmen and escape unscathed, so he needed to be more cautious.
On the side, Chen Tianyu had a serious look in his eyes, and turned to the tribesmen behind him and asked:
"My dear cousins, you are very knowledgeable. Have you ever seen this thing?"
As he spoke, Chen Tianyu pointed at the strange plant in front of him.
After hearing this, several elders in the family slowly stepped forward and began to study:
"This thing is quite strange, and somewhat resembles the fairy thorn I have seen before."
One of the tribesmen looked at it for a while and said, but another one shook his head:
"No, the fairy thorn loves light and cannot grow in such a dark place. Besides, this plant has no leaves."
"Yeah, that makes sense."
The three of them fell into deep thought, and everyone else waited quietly.
"I'll go ahead and explore the way."
Seeing that the three elders of the tribe didn't know what this strange plant was, Chen Qingyu stopped waiting and turned to Chen Tianyu.
Chen Tianyu hesitated after hearing this, but seeing the three people's worried faces, it was obvious that they would not get a definite answer in a short time, so he nodded:
"Be careful. If there is any danger, retreat immediately."
"Other tribesmen, retreat two meters!"
After making some preparations, Chen Qingyu held the fluorite in his hand, stepped on the white bones, and slowly walked forward.
“Crack, crack!”
The piled up bones had long since decayed, and every time Chen Qingyu took a step, a crisp sound was heard under his feet.
The tribesmen behind him stared at Chen Qingyu's back nervously, while mobilizing the qi and blood in their bodies, ready to deal with any possible emergencies at any time.
Chen Qingyu walked very slowly, and every few steps he threw the fluorite in his hand aside, trying to illuminate the surroundings.
However, the light of fluorite alone is dim and can only illuminate an area of about two meters nearby, making it impossible to see the entire surrounding area clearly.
Soon, Chen Qingyu was close to the strange plant, and the tribesmen not far behind him couldn't help but hold their breath when they saw it.
In front, Chen Qingyu, who was near the plants, stopped and looked at the plants in front of him closely.
But after looking at it for a while, Chen Qingyu didn't find anything special.
However, to be on the safe side, Chen Qingyu did not pick these plants, but chose to move on.
This time, Chen Qingyu quickly quickened his pace, and in just a few breaths, he had reached the center of these strange plants.
After stopping again, Chen Qingyu put away the fluorite in his hand and looked around.
About ten meters behind him were the tribesmen holding fluorite to illuminate the way, and in front of him was a darkness that even the innate realm warriors could not see through.
And around his feet, in the area where he was, there were probably dozens of these strange plants growing.
But until now, he still hasn't noticed the purpose of these strange plants emitting red light. Everything around him is stable, as if these plants are just a little weird and have no other function.
After staying there for a while, Chen Qingyu did not stop there. He took out the fluorite again and headed towards the direction where his tribesmen were.
"Qingyu, what's the situation?"
Seeing Chen Qingyu returning, Chen Tianyu asked.
Chen Qingyu shook his head:
"Nothing was found."
The clan members felt slightly relieved upon hearing this result. Although they were all blood coagulation realm warriors in the family, this place was not a good place, and they were very nervous.
After thinking for a while, Chen Tianyu quickly came up with an idea and said:
"I'll go in front later."
"Tianlu, you are responsible for the left side, Tianmo, you are responsible for the right side..."
"Qingyu, you are responsible for covering the rear!"
After deploying the lineup, Chen Tianyu looked at the three cousins who were still thinking, and then said to Chen Qinghe:
"Qinghe and Qingmeng, the two of you will stay here and take care of the three great uncles and ensure their safety."
"Uncle, I understand."
Chen Qinghe said somewhat weakly. In fact, he would rather follow a few people to explore the unknown ahead rather than stay here.
However, considering the safety of several uncles, Chen Qinghe had no choice but to stay.
After giving the instructions, Chen Tianyu no longer hesitated, and the group set out on their journey.
When they were about to approach those strange plants, everyone stopped for a moment, but the situation was indeed as Chen Qingyu said, with no other changes.
This made Chen Tianyu, who was walking in front, feel much more at ease and he moved forward again.
Soon, the group arrived at the place where Chen Qingyu had just arrived, and also came to the center of the area where the strange plants were planted.
But before Chen Tianyu could open his mouth to speak, Chen Qingyu's reminder suddenly came from behind him:
"Uncle, be careful!"
"Um?"
Before Chen Tianyu could mobilize the qi and blood in his body, a fierce punch and kick had already hit Chen Tianyu's back!
Although he was a martial artist at the Xiantian realm, this punch was extremely sudden and came from an unexpected place, which made Chen Tianyu unable to react in time.
What made Chen Tianyu even more unbelievable was that the person who had just made the move was none other than the tribesman behind him!
Before Chen Tianyu could figure out the reason, the tribesmen behind him once again used Taizu Changquan and attacked Chen Tianyu.
Not only this family member, but also Chen Tianlu, Chen Tianmo and several other family blood coagulation realm warriors, chose to attack their own family members without hesitation at this moment.
This made Chen Tianyu both shocked and angry. While blocking the attacks of his tribesmen, he shouted:
"Tianlu, Tianmo, what are you doing? Stop now!"
But these words did not stop them. Instead, they attacked even more fiercely!
The tribesmen who had once lived in harmony now seemed like mortal enemies, and they did not defend themselves at all, but only attacked, with no awareness of the injuries they suffered.
"Damn it, what the hell is going on?"
"Qingyu?"
After forcing the tribesmen in front of him to retreat, Chen Tianyu shouted.
However, before Chen Tianyu could find Chen Qingyu in the darkness, he heard Chen Qingyu's reply:
"Uncle, I'm fine."
