Chapter 293 Sleeping

When the first ray of dawn broke through the darkness and shone on the Mass Burial Mountain again, the Chen family in a mess soon appeared in front of the remaining clan members.

This battle almost caused the family to be wiped out, but many of the houses and exterior walls that the family had built with great difficulty also almost collapsed in this battle.

Fortunately, the other members of the family who are not warriors and the children are hiding in a safe secret passage, otherwise the family's losses will be even greater.

In the family's spacious square, Chen Xingzhen and other surviving clan members are gathering here.

"Patriarch, the outside has been dealt with almost, all that's left is to repair the house and..."

"Clan leader, a total of 112 Shi family warriors were killed this time, including six Xiantian realm warriors..."

After hearing the situation reported by his clansmen, Chen Xingzhen showed no joy on his face. Although all the enemies were wiped out, the family was also severely damaged. Along the way, he had seen the corpses of many clansmen.

This is also the heaviest loss the family has suffered in the past two years.

"Clan leader, do you want to send clan members over to the Shi family? Get rid of all the remaining clan members of the Shi family!"

On the side, Chen Tianjing asked with a pale face.

Although it is not known how many members of the Shi family are left in Yong'an City, even the Qi Control realm warriors of the Shi family have died. It is thought that even if the Shi family still has some remaining strength, they dare not take action against the family.

It would be best to completely eliminate the Shi family, avoid worries, and allow the family to gain a firm foothold in Yong'an City.

Chen Xingzhen looked at the few remaining members of his family and shook his head:

"I'm afraid that the Shi family has already received the news. It's too late to rush there now. Besides, there is a Xie family in Yong'an City who has never taken action. It's better to wait for the clan to rest for a few days and then act according to the situation."

The Shi family can no longer pose much of a threat to the family, but the Xie family, which is much stronger than the Shi family, is a new trouble.

Many tribesmen fell silent after hearing this, but did not say much.

This battle was indeed a tragic victory, not to mention that Yong'an City was still some distance away from the Mass Burial Mountain. It was indeed too late to rush over now.

While everyone was discussing other matters, the anxious shouts of the tribesmen came from not far away:

"Clan leader, it's not good, please come to the ancestral hall and have a look..."

Hearing this, Chen Xingzhen and others did not care to continue the discussion and hurried to the ancestral hall.

When Chen Xingzhen and his party came to the ancestral hall and looked at the still intact family sacred tree, their anxious hearts quickly relaxed.

As long as the sacred tree is still there, it's not a big deal.

But what happened next made Chen Xingzhen and others feel tense.

I saw that the originally green sacred tree began to wither quickly at this moment. Countless dark green locust leaves gradually turned yellow and fell from the branches. Even the branches full of vitality began to wither rapidly, as if Generally lost moisture.

In less than a moment, the sacred tree that had just been full of life and vitality had become completely bare, and the locust tree was filled with deathly silence.

This scene made Chen Xingzhen and others' expressions change drastically.

Although many clan members were lost in this battle, as long as the sacred tree is still there, the clan will not be completely wiped out. However, if the family sacred tree is gone, it will be an unbearable loss for the family.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xingzhen quickly began to pray, hoping to get a response from the sacred tree.

But this time the prayer disappeared without a trace, and the guidance of the sacred tree never appeared in my mind.

This has never happened before.

After realizing that the sacred tree might really be dead, Chen Xingzhen's face turned pale, and there were a few more wrinkles on his already old face.

Without the family's sacred tree, he didn't know what to do next for his family!

The family sacred tree is not only the totem of the family, but also the one that he has always adhered to in his heart.

On the side, many tribesmen also lowered their heads and remained silent, with sadness on their faces.

The victory in this battle all depends on the power of the sacred tree.

If there were no sacred tree, there would be no family today.

Without the family totem, they can't even see the direction of the road ahead.

Just when there was silence in the field, something suddenly fell from above.

It was a dried up locust tree branch no more than a few inches long.

But just after the locust tree branch fell to the ground, there was a strong vitality exuding from it. In the blink of an eye, several brand new green locust trees leaves grew from the locust tree branch.

Chen Xingzhen was stunned when he saw this, but he still lowered his head and picked up this locust tree branch that exuded vitality.

But soon, Chen Xingzhen's cloudy and absent-minded eyes quickly exuded a glimmer of light and hope. Then he turned to look at the many tribesmen behind him and said:

"This time the sacred tree consumed too much power and fell into a deep sleep. But it won't take long for the sacred tree to revive again! Bringing new light to the family!"

These are not words he made up to stabilize the mood of his tribe, but the guidance from the sacred tree in his mind when he just picked up this locust tree branch.

This guidance was weak, and he could also feel the decline of the sacred tree from it.

But as long as the sacred tree still exists, the family will have hope and the people will have faith.

After hearing what the clan leader said, the faces of many clan members also showed joy. It turned out that the sacred tree had just fallen into a deep sleep and was not dead. For a moment, bright brilliance burst out in the eyes of the clan members.

"Clan leader, how long will the sacred tree be asleep this time?"

A tribesman asked, his eyes full of expectation. After hearing this, other tribesmen also cast their gazes, waiting for Chen Xingzhen's answer.

Chen Xingzhen smiled:

"The sacred tree has consumed a lot of divine power this time. It may take one or two years to wake up again."

Hearing this answer, the tribesmen no longer had any worries in their hearts, and their faces were relieved.

Not twenty years, nor more than ten years, but just one or two years. They can wait for this time.

Seeing that the tribesmen were no longer depressed, Chen Xingzhen was also slightly relieved.

But when Chen Xingzhen turned his head and looked at the withered family sacred tree, he sighed again in his heart.

One or two years is just the time he said. He didn't know when the sacred tree would wake up. In the guidance just now, the sacred tree did not tell him this.

But at this moment, he could only pray silently in his heart that the sacred tree would wake up earlier. After all, the family cannot live without the sacred tree.

……

In Yong'an City, Shi Chenghong stood silently in the family ancestral hall without saying a word.

And in front of him was a strange sacred stone that was flickering with a faint light.

This is the family totem of his Shi family.

But at this time, the light on the family's sacred stone was dim, and there were several inconspicuous cracks on it. Although Shi Chenghong looked directly at the family's sacred stone, his eyes were unfocused and his face was ashen.

"Patriarch? Patriarch?"

An elder called out cautiously behind him.

But Shi Chenghong in front of him seemed not to hear it and did not respond.
