"Chief, many of our tribesmen are injured. Can we stop and rest for a while?"
In the mass grave mountain, a member of the Li family with ragged clothes and a tired face asked Li Yongcheng who was behind him.
"No, keep going! We have to go another twenty miles tonight!"
"I'll go ahead and clear the way in a moment!"
Li Yongcheng, who was left behind, said this in a decisive tone while carefully looking around.
It has been two days since they left their family and entered the Mass Burial Mountain, but in these two days, they have only walked less than a hundred miles, not even one-fifth of the distance of the Mass Burial Mountain.
There is no need to elaborate on the reasons.
The terrain of the mass grave mountain is complex, the road is rugged, there are thorns at times, and there are ferocious beasts.
The closer you are to the center of the mass grave, the higher the level of the ferocious beasts.
Although the group of twenty or so people were all from the younger generation of the family, and many of them were warriors at the early stage of the Body Tempering Realm, they had no experience in going deep into the Mass Burial Mountain.
The harsh environment and many other factors have slowed down their progress.
But Li Yongcheng looked determined and did not give up because of the difficulties along the way.
There are many roads leading to the outside of the mass grave mountain, but when he discussed the escape route with Li Cailiang, he ruled out all other paths and chose to cross the mass grave mountain in order to avoid being hunted down by the Chen family.
As for the rest of the family, if he brings them along, it is very likely that the entire family will be implicated, so he can only choose to give up!
The Chen family would never have guessed that they would cross the mass grave hill, right?
Even if they knew, they might not dare to send people to hunt them down. After all, there are not many blood coagulation realm warriors in the Chen family.
But considering other factors, the family still needs to leave the mass grave as soon as possible.
This is also the family's only chance. As long as they can safely leave the Burial Mountain, with the remaining warriors in the family, they can start a new life and revive the family.
In the past, the ancestor of the Li family was able to build the current Li family alone, and now that the family conditions are better, he, Li Yongcheng, can do it too!
The current difficulties in the mass grave mountain are precisely the cornerstone for training the younger generation of the family.
…
"Chief, there is something wrong with the sacred tree."
The next day, before Chen Xingzhen even walked out of the room, he heard the panicked shouts of his clansmen.
He didn't come back until midnight yesterday and wanted to take a rest.
But after hearing that there was a problem with the sacred tree, Chen Xingzhen's face turned panicked, and he immediately rushed to the family ancestral hall without stopping.
Today's sacred tree is the key to the family's rise, and no problems can occur!
When Chen Xingzhen arrived at the ancestral hall, many clansmen had already gathered under the sacred tree.
At this moment, these tribesmen looked panicked and kept whispering about something, but they did not dare to get too close.
Chen Xingzhen felt a little depressed when he saw this. If there was a problem with the family sacred tree now, it would definitely be a fatal blow to the family.
"Everyone make way, the clan leader is here."
Seeing Chen Xingzhen coming, many tribesmen stopped talking and made way for him.
Chen Xingzhen looked calm as he slowly approached the sacred tree.
He is the patriarch of the family and the core pillar of the family. Even though he wanted to run over to check at this moment, he still had to show a calm and natural expression on his face.
Even so, Chen Xingzhen couldn't help but speed up his pace slightly.
When Chen Xingzhen walked to the bottom of the sacred tree, he finally saw the current state of the sacred tree.
The sacred tree, which was full of vitality and vigor before, has undergone tremendous changes.
Not only did the trunk of the tree turn dark black, but even the branches and leaves were not spared.
This situation made Chen Xingzhen feel a chill in his heart. Could it be that something really had gone wrong with the sacred tree?
But as the patriarch, why didn't he receive any hint from the sacred tree?
By the way, he was busy tracking down the Li family yesterday and didn’t return until midnight, so he didn’t have time to come here.
Chen Xingzhen felt regretful, but at this moment he suddenly discovered that on the branches of the sacred tree, there were dozens of thumb-sized light green fruits.
This discovery made Chen Xingzhen look a little shocked.
The family sacred tree actually bore fruit?
He had heard from the elders of the family before that when the sacred tree bore fruit, it was often an opportunity for the clan members to give birth to children when the sacred tree reached maturity.
It is said that the family sacred tree once bloomed and bore fruit, bringing great improvement to the family.
Unfortunately, he was still young at that time and rarely had the opportunity to enter the ancestral hall, and had never seen such a scene.
Moreover, he heard that it would take several months or even several years for the sacred tree to bloom and bear fruit.
But now, isn't it too fast?
Chen Xingzhen was a little unsure. Seeing that Chen Xingzhen had been silent for a long time, the tribesmen behind him began to discuss in a low voice again.
"Quiet, no noise allowed in the ancestral hall!"
Chen Xingzhen interrupted the tribesmen's discussion, then turned around and said:
"The family's sacred tree breeds sacred fruit, so it will change. This is the family's opportunity, you don't have to worry."
After hearing Chen Xingzhen's explanation, everyone's expressions relaxed, and when they looked at the magical fruit on the tree, there was a hint of anticipation in their eyes.
They were very curious about what kind of fruit the family sacred tree could grow.
After resolving the matter, Chen Xingzhen quickly left the ancestral hall.
According to his observation just now, the sacred tree had no worries about its vitality, but there were some changes in various aspects.
However, regarding the fruiting of the sacred tree, he still needed to go back and look through some of the family's remaining information to see what was going on.
He also thought about temporarily closing the ancestral hall and prohibiting clan members from worshipping there.
However, considering that the Sacred Tree Ceremony had just begun, it was not appropriate to close the ancestral hall in order to consolidate the tribe’s beliefs and enhance their cohesion.
Besides, doesn’t this tell the tribe that there is really a problem with the sacred tree?
Since the sacred tree did not give any warning, it means that these changes are normal.
However, Chen Xingzhen later sent two people to pay attention to the situation of the sacred tree, and tell themselves immediately if there were any other changes in the sacred tree.
After returning to the room, Chen Xingzhen began to look through the remaining information of the clan.
The fact that the sacred tree bore fruit also caused quite a stir in the tribe, causing many members to go to the ancestral hall to worship every day and take a look at what the fruit of the sacred tree looked like.
Since Li Yongcheng and others were not found, most of the family's warriors had not returned yet and were unaware of the changes in the sacred tree.
On the second day after the sacred tree bore fruit, everyone went to watch it again.
Then they were surprised to find that the fruit, which was only the size of a thumb yesterday, had grown a lot today. It was already half the size of an egg, and the color of the green fruit was also changing to grayish white.
Such a rapid growth rate makes everyone feel awed.
It is worthy of being the family’s sacred tree.
