Looking at the map in his hand again, Li Yongcheng had already made a decision in his mind.
Change route, take a detour.
Although this would waste a lot of time, compared to encountering the innate beast, the delay is nothing.
Of course, he could also choose to gamble, betting that they would not encounter the innate beast when they passed through, but he no longer had the capital to gamble.
Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance of encountering that innate beast, he couldn't afford the risk.
Fortunately, there is good news, that is, they have not sensed anyone following them in the past few days.
Either the Chen family didn't notice that they were leaving through the mass grave mountain, or they didn't chase them.
Li Yongcheng felt that the latter was more likely, but that meant they had plenty of time to take a detour.
Li Yongcheng stood up, ready to explain the next road to his clansmen, and to encourage them, letting them know that this time the family had great hope of leaving the mass grave mountain.
But just as he was preparing to make his argument, Li Cailiang's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said:
"Yongcheng, there is a ferocious beast in the late stage of blood coagulation approaching us in the southeast."
Li Yongcheng's face changed slightly. He didn't bother to make promises to his tribesmen anymore. He quickly put away the map in his hand and signaled his tribesmen to evacuate the place.
The current team may be able to fight against the beasts in the late stage of blood coagulation realm, but this is definitely a bad strategy!
Although the tribesmen who were preparing to rest were reluctant, they understood that this was a matter of life and death, so they hurriedly got up from the ground and quickly moved away.
"Phew, fortunately, it's gone!"
Li Cailiang leaned carefully against the huge rock behind him and breathed a sigh of relief.
The other tribesmen also collapsed to the ground at this moment.
"Um?"
"Uncle Wu, please make way."
At this moment, Li Yongcheng suddenly noticed the bluestone that Li Cailiang was leaning against and began to look at it carefully.
Li Cailiang looked puzzled, but he moved away and looked over.
After the two of them looked at it, they quickly discovered the difference of the bluestone.
This bluestone is too special. It seems to have been placed here intentionally. In addition, there are subtle marks on the left and right sides of the bluestone. They are the palm prints left by the warriors when they moved it.
Although it was barely perceptible, it was very obvious upon closer inspection. In addition, there was a faint smell emanating from the bluestone, which made the two men feel extremely familiar.
"Manglietia powder!"
The next moment, they both spoke in unison, and the color in their eyes changed slightly.
"Yongcheng, get out of the way, I'll do it!"
Li Cailiang, who noticed the traces of human intervention, moved the bluestone in front of him. Seeing this, other tribesmen also gathered around with curiosity in their eyes.
“Boom…”
The bluestone was quickly moved away by Li Cailiang.
As the bluestone was moved away, a huge secret passage entrance appeared in front of them.
This scene caused many tribesmen to exclaim in surprise. They had not expected that there was such a secret passage hidden deep in this mass grave mountain.
When Li Yongcheng looked at the secret passage in front of him, his mind suddenly became clear.
The only ones who can build a secret passage here are the three major families in the Mass Burial Hill.
The Liu family was established in the Mass Burial Hill not long ago, but this secret passage seems to be quite old. It is obviously not the work of the Liu family, nor could it have been built by his Li family. It can only be the work of the Chen family.
No wonder that even after the Chen family was completely besieged, there was still no shortage of food for the Chen family members. It was probably because they came to the Mass Grave Hill to hunt through this secret passage.
When Li Cailiang discovered the secret passage, the expression in his eyes changed rapidly.
He could guess that this secret passage most likely led to the Chen family's ancestral hall. If he counterattacked now, would the family be able to take revenge?
But soon, Li Cailiang's eyes regained clarity.
His answer was no.
Since the Chen family did not hunt them down, there are now at least four Blood Coagulation Realm warriors in the family, including two late-stage warriors.
How could we possibly be his opponent with just the few people we have now? Going in through the secret passage now would just be walking into a trap.
There was another reason why Li Cailiang didn't dare to do that, which was the locust leaf he had seen before.
He didn't know what the sacred tree that caused their family's downfall looked like. If the situation allowed, he really wanted to take a look at the so-called sacred tree.
"Yongcheng, what should we do?"
Li Cailiang on the side also guessed the identity of the party in the secret passage. At this moment, he clenched his fists, as if he would kill them if they disagreed with him. However, after thinking of the previous battle, Li Cailiang's face changed, and the anger in his heart gradually disappeared.
"Since the Chen family didn't come after us, they must have given up. In that case, this family secret passage is still safe. Let the clan members rest here for one night and talk about it tomorrow."
After saying that, Li Yongcheng took the lead and walked into the secret passage.
Now the tribesmen are exhausted. It would be great if they could have a safe place to rest for a night.
This family secret passage may be their opportunity in the future, so they must not be discovered by the Chen family for now.
After entering the secret passage, the group remained cautious.
Noticing that there was no movement coming from the other side of the secret passage, everyone relaxed.
At night, the secret passage was pitch black and most of the tribesmen had fallen asleep, but Li Yongcheng was looking at the other end of the secret passage and fell into deep thought.
"Yongcheng, after leaving the Mass Burial Hill, have you thought about the future of your family?"
On the side, Li Cailiang, who had not fallen asleep yet, suddenly asked.
Li Yongcheng was slightly startled, then nodded:
"Uncle Wu, as long as we can leave the Mass Grave Mountain, I am confident that I can make our family prosperous again."
Li Cailiang looked pleased and nodded with a smile:
"Okay, okay, I feel relieved that you are in the family."
"Fifth uncle?"
Hearing Li Cailiang's obviously wrong tone, Li Yongcheng straightened his back, which was leaning against the secret passage, and looked at Li Cailiang with some doubt in his eyes.
"You have seen the current situation of the family. Let me ask you, if you leave the Mass Burial Hill, how confident are you that you can avenge the family? And how many years will it take?"
After hearing this, Li Yongcheng silently compared his current family with the Chen family, and then fell silent.
Leaving the Mass Grave Hill meant that all the fertile farmland that the family had previously managed, as well as various resources such as hunting, would be lost, and they would have to start all over again.
Although he has the courage to start over again and the confidence to revive his family, facing the Chen family which is now developing more rapidly, he really doesn't know how long it will take for his family to develop before he can take revenge.
Decades? Hundreds of years? Or maybe forever?
When Li Yongcheng thought of the locust leaf, a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes.
