Chapter 257: Beast



I don’t know what the situation is in Yong’an City.

Chen Xingzhen looked into the distance and couldn't help thinking in his heart.

A few days ago, Tian Lei and his men received news that the situation in Yong'an City was tense and that the city had been controlled by the Xie and Shi families, so they were unable to find out the specific information.

However, according to what they had discovered, the two major families had been surrounded by the Xie family and the Shi family.

From this perspective, the Shen and Gan families may not be able to hold on for much longer.

And it has only been a few days, which shows that the strength of the Xie family and the Shi family is much stronger than he had imagined before.

I hope the two families can hold on for a while longer.

"Bang..."

Suddenly, there was a sound of rolling gravel in the silent ancient ruins.

“Bang!”

As a fist-sized stone rolled down from the rubble above, a petite figure appeared.

This was a gray rat that was only the size of a palm. As it struggled to climb out of the rubble, a look of human-like relief appeared on its face.

After crossing a large rock in front of it, the gray squirrel stood upright, using its feet to stand on the rock.

If it remembered correctly, it seemed that a group of people discovered this place last time.

Perhaps this is its hope to reappear in the world. The gray mouse's eyes were deep, and even the corners of its mouth couldn't help but tilt a little.

But when the gray mouse stood up and saw the scene clearly, the depth in its eyes quickly disappeared, and its dull gaze was filled with confusion.

"Where are the dozens of Red Dust Burial Plants that it cultivated with so much difficulty?"

"Where is the Guanyin soil that it has spent several years transporting with the help of this body?"

"Where are the many longevity trees it buried here? Why are there so many missing?"

When the gray mouse looked at the empty space in front of him, a silent roar came out of his slightly sharp mouth:

"What a beast!"

"Even the floor tiles were emptied out!"

Looking at the empty wall where the stone wall had long disappeared, the gray mouse's eyes were bloodshot, as if endless anger was bursting out.

After a while, the gray mouse finally regained its senses. The blood color in its eyes faded away, and a deep look reappeared in its eyes.

The next moment, the gray rat's eyes closed tightly, and countless wisps of red blood rose from under the ruins.

The blood and energy quickly gathered into a projection.

In the projection, the gray rat saw everything from the moment Chen Tianyu and his party set foot on this place, to the moment they emptied the surface of the ruins, to the deeper digging, to the final scene of Chen Tianyu fighting with the skeleton.

Looking at the group of people being driven out by the white bones, the gray mouse cursed in his heart:

"It's really hateful that he can't rest in peace even after death!"

But then the gray mouse's eyes became sharp again.

It believes that these people will come back sooner or later, and there are still many treasures here!

In the darkness, the gray mouse took a look at the sealed entrance to the ruins above its head, its head tilted, and its body fell weakly to the ground, no longer alive!

"Chief, the tribesmen are all ready!"

Yong'an City, Gan family.

Looking at the determined eyes of the tribesmen in front of him, Gan Zongjin nodded:

"Okay, let all the clansmen come to the ancestral hall!"

After the order was issued, the ancestral hall was quickly surrounded by clan members.

But now these tribesmen have pale faces, tattered clothes, and look weak.

Even he, the patriarch, is no exception.

Although the Shi family only laid siege and did not take action in the past few days, under the pressure of the family's survival, the family members could not sleep at night, always worried about the Shi family's sneak attack.

In this situation, how can the tribesmen rest in peace?

However, today is the time for the family to change this situation. With the help of the power of the family totem, they can break out of Yong'an City. As long as they can preserve most of the family bloodline, the family will be able to make a comeback.

Gan Zongjin looked at a colorful vine only about ten feet long located in the center of the family ancestral hall, and a hint of confidence appeared in his eyes.

This is the spiritual object of his Gan family and also the totem of his Gan family!

Many tribesmen looked at the colorful vines with full respect in their eyes.

Seeing that all the tribesmen had arrived, Gan Zongjin looked at them levelly and said without any emotion:

"Gan Hongyi, Gan Yu, Gan Hongchao... step out!"

As Gan Zongjin called out their names, several tribesmen quickly stood out from the crowd.

Their eyes were determined, and they knew their fate in their hearts, which was to become the sacrifice of the family totem! Contribute the last bit of strength to the family!

The patriarch had already said this, and they were already prepared.

However, after hearing their names, two young tribesmen still had a hint of fear in their determined eyes!

But behind them were other members of the tribe, and they had no way to retreat, so they could only bite the bullet and move forward.

Looking at the tribesmen coming forward, Gan Zongjin said solemnly:

"Your names will be engraved in the family's ancestral hall, remembered in the hearts of other clan members, and worshipped by future generations!"

Hearing this, the eyes of several clan members who stood up lit up. Their Gan family was not one of those families with only dozens or hundreds of people. Being able to enter the ancestral hall after death was an honor for the clan members!

Several tribesmen answered in unison:

"Everything for the family!"

"Well, go ahead!"

Gan Zongjin smiled slightly and spoke to the people in front of him.

After saying this, two older members of the tribe walked towards the vines in the ancestral hall without hesitation.

When the two men approached the vines, the colorful vines also moved. Several new vines extended from them and slowly bound the two tribesmen who came forward.

The two tribesmen had a gleam in their eyes and did not resist. They just opened their hands, already prepared themselves mentally.

When the new vines covered the bodies of the two people, two suppressed cries of pain soon came from the vines!

Although they had no fear in their hearts, the pain in their bodies made them struggle uncontrollably.

But struggling at this moment was useless. Amid their shouting, their figures gradually shrank, and the originally shrill sounds of pain also gradually became smaller until they disappeared.

Become a sacrifice to the family totem, and no trace left!

Behind him, many tribesmen gritted their teeth. Even though they had already sacrificed their lives, the scene before them still made everyone feel a little different.

But everything is for the family!

At one side, Gan Zongjin's eyes had a hint of sadness. If the family had no other options, how could he bear to watch his people become sacrifices to the totem? But as the clan leader, he knew that this was the family's last resort.

"Go on."

Looking at the other tribesmen, Gan Zongjin said helplessly.

Two more tribesmen walked towards the family totem without hesitation.

But before the two of them got close, a terrified shout came from behind them:

"No, I don't want to be a sacrifice!"

"Can the sacrifice really help the family escape from this predicament?"

"Why don't we charge out now? Maybe there is still a little hope!"

"Brother? Uncle? Clan leader? What do you think?"
