However, when Chen Xingzhen looked down and saw the machete under the sacred tree, he was stunned.
Looking at the obvious match marks between the machete and the root of the sacred tree, Chen Xingzhen fell into deep thought.
At this time, other family members also came to the ancestral hall one after another.
After hearing the news of the sprouting of the sacred tree from other people, Chen Qingyu quickly ran straight to the ancestral hall from the morning exercise ground, his eyes full of suspicion.
The sacred tree has been silent for decades, how could it have changed today?
He absolutely doesn't believe it!
Perhaps this is the patriarch's way of inspiring people? But what's the point?
But when Chen Qingyu walked through the crowd, entered the ancestral hall, and saw the sprouting sacred tree with his own eyes, the shock on his face was no less than that of Chen Xingzhen.
“It actually… sprouted!”
Chen Qingyu looked up at the sacred tree and muttered to himself.
Looking at the sacred tree that had regained its vitality, Chen Qingyu quickly regained his composure.
It's just a sprout on a tree, it's not a miracle, even if the tree grows faster!
He has never had any feelings for the family sacred tree. Instead of placing the family's hopes on a tree, it is more reliable to rely on the knife in his own hand.
Even if the sacred tree really sprouted, so what? Could it save the family?
Moreover, this sacred tree could have sprouted at any other time, but at this critical moment. Chen Qingyu did not think this was a good sign.
If he were the tribe leader, the first thing he would do would be to cut down the sacred tree that was confusing the tribe members' minds!
However, looking at the joy on the clan leader's face, Chen Qingyu did not express his inner thoughts!
"Qingyu, you've arrived just in time. Go gather the rest of the family and gather at the ancestral hall!"
Chen Xingzhen looked excited. He was over 60 years old and seemed particularly excited today.
Chen Qingyu nodded in agreement. He didn't want to attack the patriarch at this time.
Soon, everyone in the family gathered together.
Chen Qinghe and Chen Qingmeng were mixed in the crowd, but compared to the curiosity in the eyes of others, the two seemed particularly reserved and did not even look at the family's sacred tree.
Especially when the two of them saw the machete under the sacred tree, they turned their heads away at the same time.
When everyone was present, Chen Xingzhen stood under the sacred tree and glanced at the other people in the ancestral hall.
Looking at the few clansmen in the ancestral hall, Chen Xingzhen sighed in his heart.
As the patriarch of the family, he feels really guilty about seeing his family decline to such an extent.
But now there is hope for the family!
The sacred tree has sprouted, and it will surely lead the family out of its current predicament!
"Quiet!"
Chen Xingzhen retracted his gaze and raised his hand, and the ancestral hall soon became quiet.
Looking at the many tribesmen who were looking at the sacred tree, Chen Xingzhen slowly said:
"Now is the moment of life and death for the family. Fortunately, the family sacred tree has sprouted. As long as the sacred tree is still there, the family has hope..."
As Chen Xingzhen spoke, the Chen family members below also listened attentively.
Ji Yang, who was standing above, was silently watching everything in front of him.
The current scene was naturally what he wanted to see. Although he had now recovered some vitality, it was far from enough.
He needs to obtain more beast blood, which can only be obtained by having the Chen family worship him!
With Chen Xingzhen's support, it should be fine. He just needs to wait quietly.
In the ancestral hall, Chen Xingzhen silently recounted the glorious deeds of the family’s sacred tree!
Chen Xingzhen's main purpose this time is to use the sprouting of the sacred tree to stabilize the hearts of his tribesmen!
As long as the family members work together, and with the help of the sprouting sacred tree, the family may really have a glimmer of hope.
If the family members are divided, even the sacred tree cannot save them.
As the patriarch, he is well aware of the importance of this!
According to Chen Xingzhen's narration, the family's sacred tree was infinitely glorious at that time. It not only protected the tribe members, but also enabled them to increase their strength.
After hearing this, some of the tribesmen below looked determined and hopeful.
As long as the sacred tree grows, there is hope for the family!
But there were also some people who had doubts on their faces, obviously they did not listen to what Chen Xingzhen said, and most of these tribesmen were from the younger generation!
Chen Xingzhen looked helpless when he saw this.
Of course he knew what these tribesmen were thinking. After all, they had never seen the glory displayed by the sacred tree, and they would not believe it without any evidence.
But now, he couldn't explain it.
After the explanation, Chen Xingzhen did not forget the most important thing, sacrifice!
It was recorded in the family rules at that time that if one wanted to obtain help from the sacred tree, the tribe members needed to offer sacrifices.
When the family first planted the sacred tree, they held a small sacrifice every three days and a large sacrifice every five days.
However, the sacred tree remained unchanged for a long time, and coupled with the dissatisfaction of the tribesmen, they began to offer sacrifices once a week, or even once a month!
But now the sacred tree has sprouted, and it is obviously a critical moment. Chen Xingzhen decided to offer a sacrifice every day!
And the most important thing is that the family doesn’t have much time left.
Thinking of this, Chen Xingzhen immediately said to the two people below:
"Tianlu, Tianmo, go and catch the spirit-tailed chickens that our tribe raises! Use them to worship the sacred tree!"
"Yes, Patriarch!"
At this time, Chen Qingyu on the side hesitated and said:
"Chief, there are only two spirit-tail chickens left in the tribe!"
Lingwei chicken is a bird with abundant qi and blood. Because of its gentle temperament and abundant qi and blood, it is a beast that many families like to raise.
The greatest function of this kind of bird is to enhance the warrior's qi and blood, and it can also heal wounds.
Such birds are extremely precious even in a small family like the Chen family!
After being sacrificed to the sacred tree, the flesh and blood of the spirit-tail chicken will lose its vitality, and the meat will become difficult to swallow, which is much worse than ordinary dry food.
This is also the reason why Chen Qingyu hesitated, not to mention that there are many people in the family who are injured now, so these two spirit-tail chickens become even more important.
"Yes, I know."
Chen Xingzhen's answer made Chen Qingyu fall silent.
Apparently the patriarch decided to use these two spirit-tail chickens as sacrifice!
Chen Qingyu silently glanced at the sacred tree in front of him and whispered in his heart:
"You'd better show your divine power!"
Ji Yang above also had some ideas in his mind after hearing about the Spirit Tail Chicken.
The obstruction in Chen Qingyu's words also made Ji Yang more interested. He didn't know how much blood and spiritual power this spirit-tail chicken could provide for him.
