Reincarnated as a Divine Tree

Chapter 15: Thoughts

“Clan Chief…”

As Mason Chen was about to report the details of the hunting expedition, Ethan Chen raised his hand to interrupt:

“Hold on, we can talk about that later.”

After speaking, Ethan Chen turned his gaze to the two clan members who were severely injured.

Injuries were inevitable in hunting expeditions, especially in the depths of Disordered Burial Mountain, where fierce beasts roamed.

But at a time when the clan was in peril, such injuries would likely take at least half a month to heal.

Ethan Chen’s eyes hesitated as he looked at the Sacred Tree behind him.

After a moment of contemplation, he sighed.

He hadn’t yet made offerings to the Sacred Tree after treating so many injured clan members, and it was difficult for him to ask for more, especially since the Sacred Tree was newly sprouted and might struggle to survive without their sacrifices.

The power of the Sacred Tree should be reserved for the most critical moments.

After a moment of thought, Ethan Chen said helplessly:

“Go to the clan’s storeroom and get some top-quality ointment, then go rest!”

“Yes!”

The few men said no more and prepared to drag their weary, injured bodies back to rest.

At that moment, the glowing branches and leaves of the Sacred Tree suddenly trembled slightly.

The next instant, the green specks that had been present during the day reappeared before everyone’s eyes and then entered the bodies of the injured.

Feeling the vitality brought by the green specks, the injured men felt their wounds healing rapidly, and the two most seriously injured felt as if they were immersed in a warm spring, involuntarily letting out comfortable moans.

After the green specks disappeared, everyone felt refreshed. Not only were their external injuries healed, but even the fatigue from the battle had vanished.

The two most seriously injured now had much rosier complexions, and when they removed the cloth wrapped around their wounds, they found that scabs had already begun to form!

Although not fully healed, their strength was no longer affected!

“Thank you, Sacred Tree!”

Grateful, Ethan Chen bowed in thanks.

The others, realizing what had happened, quickly followed suit in giving thanks.

With such a Sacred Tree, how could the clan not prosper?

The men, their injuries healed, felt a surge of ambition and considered going out to hunt again to make offerings to the Sacred Tree!

Seeing their excitement, Ethan Chen quickly said:

“Alright, it’s almost dawn. You should go rest early and not let the Li Clan spot any weaknesses!”

Although the clan’s secret passage was relatively safe, there was no room for accidents, and hunting was best done at night.

Hearing the Clan Chief’s orders, the men had no choice but to leave.

However, Mason Chen and Elijah Chen did not leave but began to report to Ethan Chen about what they had encountered during the hunt and how they had hunted the Iron Thorn Tiger.

Above them, Noah Ji listened to their conversation but never took his eyes off the Iron Thorn Tiger’s body below.

The Reversal Pill technique he had just used had cost him 0.5 points of Vitality, which he had barely managed to absorb during the first half of the night, and now it was gone.

Noah Ji had helped for a reason, of course. He was determined to claim a share of the Iron Thorn Tiger.

It was a pity he couldn’t speak; otherwise, he would have directly asked for the Iron Thorn Tiger.

Below, Ethan Chen frowned slightly after hearing the two men’s account.

According to them, fierce beasts were rampant in the depths of Disordered Burial Mountain, and many roamed even at night.

However, it was precisely because of this that the clan’s secret passage remained safe. But now, with the clan’s weakened strength, hunting had become more difficult.

A careless mistake could result in the loss of lives.

“Clan Chief, what should we do with this Iron Thorn Tiger?”

While pondering, Elijah Chen asked.

Ethan Chen looked at the Iron Thorn Tiger’s corpse on the ground and asked the two men:

“What do you think we should do?”

Above them, Noah Ji, hearing their discussion about the Iron Thorn Tiger, listened intently. Whether he could continue his Deduction depended on Ethan Chen’s decision.

Seeing Ethan Chen ask for their opinion, the two men fell into thought.

After a while, Elijah Chen spoke first:

“With the clan’s food stores running low and our people’s Qi and Blood weakening, the Iron Thorn Tiger’s flesh is rich in Qi and Blood. I think we can divide the tiger in two, half to be offered to the Sacred Tree and the other half to be used as food for the clan to ensure our people’s Qi and Blood remain strong!”

Ethan Chen nodded at this and turned to Mason Chen:

“Mason, what are your thoughts?”

“My cousin speaks wisely, but from what I’ve seen, the Li Clan is eyeing us covetously and may attack at any moment. Currently, the clan has enough food for one more day,

I think we should offer the entire Iron Thorn Tiger to the Sacred Tree, allowing it to display its power once more and give the clan a chance to turn defeat into victory!”

“As for the clan’s food, we can hunt again tomorrow night. Although it’s more dangerous, as long as the Sacred Tree is with us, there’s no need to worry!”

Ethan Chen, pleased with the response, then said:

“Elijah’s idea is good, but given the clan’s dire situation, even if our people’s Qi and Blood are strong and our combat power is intact, relying on our current strength, it’s very difficult to defeat the Li Clan. At most, we can only delay the inevitable for a few more days.

Since that’s the case, let’s take a risky move. Perhaps with the power of the Sacred Tree, we might have a chance to save our clan!”

Elijah Chen looked at the glowing Sacred Tree of the clan and said no more.

Soon, the offering began again. This time, Ethan Chen didn’t perform too many elaborate rituals but directly had the two men slit the Iron Thorn Tiger’s throat to bleed it.

Underground, Noah Ji’s roots were already starving.

He had been craving the Iron Thorn Tiger for a long time!

As the blood of the Iron Thorn Tiger seeped through the soil to the underground, Noah Ji’s roots once again demonstrated their function.

The blood of the Iron Thorn Tiger was harder to absorb than that of the Spirit-Tailed Chicken, but Noah Ji was overjoyed because his Qi and Blood on the panel were rising rapidly!

It was clear that the blood of this Blood Condensation Realm beast had extraordinary effects.

With Noah Ji’s roots rapidly absorbing it, the blood of the large Iron Thorn Tiger was soon completely absorbed.

After absorbing the blood, Noah Ji turned his attention forward:

【Name: Noah Ji】

【Species: Weak Sophora Tree】

【Vitality: 3.4】

【Supernatural Powers: Eye of Insight, Reversal Pill】

【Technique: Lunar Eclipse】

【Combat Skill: None】

【Qi and Blood: 19 (convertible to Vitality)】

【Spiritual Power: 5】

【Deduction Points: 25】

【Ready for Deduction!】

【Status: As the worshipped Sacred Tree, you have barely recovered some vitality, but it hasn’t had much effect.】

Seeing that the Qi and Blood points had reached 19, Noah Ji was satisfied, which was 6 points more than the Spirit-Tailed Chicken.

However, when he saw that he only had 5 points of Spiritual Power, he pondered for a moment.

His previous Spiritual Power was 1, meaning that the Iron Thorn Tiger had only increased his Spiritual Power by 4 points.

If he remembered correctly, the blood of the two Spirit-Tailed Chickens had contributed 4 points of Spiritual Power.

Comparing their sizes and realms, the ratio didn’t seem right.

It seemed that the larger the size, the more Spiritual Power provided was not always the case; there seemed to be factors he was unaware of.

But seeing the button for Deduction, Noah Ji stopped pondering.

The previous Deduction was still fresh in his memory, and he was eager to see what he could gain from it this time.

The next moment, Noah Ji decisively pressed the button to begin Deduction!

【This Deduction will consume 10 Qi and Blood, 5 Spiritual Power, and 5 Deduction Points. Do you wish to continue?】

【Yes? No?】
