(First of all, a new year, a new month, meet you again!^_^) Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I don't know how everyone is doing this year, I must be very happy, I'm very happy, hahahaha. I wish you all success in your career, success in everything, peace and good health in the new year!)
Huoyan was very jealous of the Thundercloud Clan, where the Thunder Shaman was located, and took Lu Chen to avoid the large army of the Thundercloud Tribe, even if he made a big circle for this and walked twice the distance.
Lu Chen didn't say much about this, but when he chatted with Huoyan along the way, he inquired a little more about the situation of the barbarians in Southern Xinjiang, especially the powerful shamans in Huoyankou.
In the eyes of Huo Yan or in the words he said, the shaman that Lu Chen heard was undoubtedly an extremely powerful and terrifying being, capable of turning the world upside down, capable of moving mountains and seas, and capable of destroying everything in the Southern Xinjiang Wasteland, unless another shaman stood up to fight against it.
Lu Chen was noncommittal about this, and was silent most of the time, but it was not that he had never really seen the so-called barbarian shaman. The fire shaman in the Battle of the Barren Valley in the past was indeed a very powerful barbarian, and left Lu Chen with many years of pain that was worse than death.
But even so, Lu Chen didn't think that the power of the Fire Shaman could reach the level of terrifying as the Fire Rock Mouth said.
In fact, Lu Chen had great doubts about whether the strength of the barbarian shaman could be close to the level of the Divine Transformation True Monarch in the human race cultivation realm.
In his opinion, the strength of the barbarian shaman should be about the same as that of the Yuanying real person in the human race, maybe stronger, but it must also be limited. As for the reason, it is actually very simple, if the barbarian shaman is really as powerful and terrifying as Huoyan said, then no one else is needed, and now those three or four shamans in the southern Xinjiang wasteland stand up, and they will probably be able to directly bulldoze the vast land of the northern human race Shenzhou.
It's a pity that now, thousands of years later, the barbarians can still only huddle in the southern wilderness, relying on the natural dangers of the chaotic land to separate the north and the south, so they can survive for a long time.
Yes, when Lu Chen looked at the fire rock and this vast wasteland, his heart swept through this kind of disdainful words.
The barbarians are certainly strong, but in the face of the powerful strength of the current Terran cultivation and prosperity, if there is no barrier from the Confused Land, the barbarians in Southern Xinjiang will only have a dead end.

Avoiding the thundercloud tribe all the way south, Lu Chen, Huoyan and Ah Tu walked fairly smoothly in the next journey, and after a long detour in the middle, they encountered some minor troubles, probably encountering other barbarians or encountering some powerful demon beasts or the like.
When you encounter a small demon beast, you can kill it, but if you can't beat the big demon beast, a few people will run away early; as for the people of other barbarian tribes, they can also avoid it, and if they really can't dodge, they will come forward to negotiate a few words by Huoyan, and they can generally deal with it.
Originally, Lu Chen's identity and appearance were a big trouble, but Huo Yan was obviously prepared, and turned out a linen hooded dress that could cover his head, covering Lu Chen's face. Those barbarians who met were simple-minded, and they didn't even look closely, probably because they didn't expect that in the past thousand years, a northern human race would suddenly come to the wasteland.
However, this linen hooded suit was rough and shabby, it was really uncomfortable, Lu Chen asked Huoyan where this came from, Huoyan laughed dryly and said that it was handed down by a certain ancestor when the Black Fire tribe had priests in the past.
Lu Chen smiled faintly, thinking to himself, it seems that the Black Fire Clan was so miserable many years ago.
Along the way, although small troubles appeared from time to time, they finally did not appear in a desperate situation like the last time they were surrounded by wolves, and finally, they arrived at the sacred mountain where the altar of the god of fire was located.
In the words of the igneous rock, it is thanks to the blessing of the god of fire that this way can be reached safely.
Lu Chen asked him with a smile on the side, if the Fire God really blessed the Black Fire Clan and Huo Yan himself, why had the Black Fire Clan not improved for so many years?
Huoyan retorted without hesitation, all this must be a test of the fire god to the Black Fire Clan, and a punishment for the wrong things done by the Black Fire Clan, and now that the punishment is about to pass, it will naturally begin to shelter again.
Lu Chenqi said, how do you know that the punishment is over? Huoyan pointed at him and said Aren't you here, you came here and became the priest of our Black Fire Clan, that is the reward of the Fire God for our Black Fire Clan;
Lu Chen looked at the sky speechlessly, smiling bitterly.
The so-called Sacred Mountain, in fact, is a towering mountain range in the southern Xinjiang wasteland, in fact, there is nothing too strange from the appearance, it is similar to the hills and peaks that Lu Chen saw along the way, most of the peaks are actually bare, and some parts are covered with some sparse forests, which are completely incomparable with the Cave Heaven Blessed Land in the Terran Cultivation Realm, which is full of fertile fields and thousands of miles of forests.
But despite this, in fact, from another point of view, this desolation actually reveals a majestic and primitive atmosphere, which faintly has the meaning of being strong.
The sacred mountain is also called the Fire God Mountain, but these two names are the exclusive use of the people of the Black Fire tribe, who have kept the secret of this vital altar holy place extremely close for many years, so the other barbarians don't know about it, and they only think that this is an ordinary mountain, and they don't even have a name.
After Huoyan arrived at this Huoshen Mountain, he immediately became excited, knelt down at the foot of the mountain against the majestic peak, and then kowtowed heavily, chanting words in his mouth.
Lu Chen listened to it on the side, which probably meant that the Black Fire Tribe was guilty of making the Fire Holy Land desolate for many years, and one day the God blessed it, and the Black Fire Tribe will rise strong again, and it will definitely rebuild the altar of the Holy Land and add glory to the Fire God, in short, it is a lot of good promises.
After saying these words, or after painting these big cakes, Huoyan stood up with a reverent face, glanced back at Lu Chen, and was stunned, and said, "What's wrong with you, with such a strange expression on your face?"
Lu Chen said: "It's nothing, I just thought of it, the words you just said sound very skilled, isn't it that every time your Black Fire Clan worships that fire god for so many years, you have to say this?"
Huoyan thought about it, and then looked a little embarrassed, but still nodded, and said, "Almost." ”
Lu Chen shook his head and walked forward, and said at the same time: "It's okay, let's go, I hope the old man of the Fire God can really hear your mind." ”
※※※
The gods are all high, mysterious, and unfathomable, so no one knows whether the god of fire heard the prayers of the fire rock, and whether he listened to his words. But at least on the way into the mountain, they were okay for the time being, and they didn't encounter any trouble.
For this reason, Huoyan thanked the Fire God three or four times along the way, and even Lu Chen now had to admit that this barbarian's belief in the worship of the Fire God was really indestructible and deep-rooted.
However, at this moment, Lu Chen had lost interest in this issue, and he was more concerned about another matter.
"Fire Rock," Lu Chen called out to the barbarian and said, "Didn't you say that the Black Fire Clan has been away from here for many years, why do I see that you are still very familiar with this place?"
Huoyan's face was painful with some bitterness, and he said, "Most of the clansmen really don't know anything about this place, at most, they just know that there is an altar holy place in the south that our ancestors of the Black Fire Clan worshipped in the past. For a long time, only the patriarch of the clan passed on this secret by word of mouth, and then every time the heir became an adult, he would find an opportunity to come here secretly once, get to know the old path, worship the god of fire once, and pass on this secret from generation to generation. ”
Lu Chen frowned, and said, "It's always been like this to teach secrets alone?For so many years, with the current predicament of your Black Fire Clan, even if you are the patriarch, it is really not easy to cut off this secret inheritance." ”
Huoyan said proudly: "This is all blessed by the fire god!"
Lu Chen: "...... Well, you're right. ”
※※※
Huoshenshan looks tall and majestic, although many of the peaks are bare, but there is a strong momentum in the desolation.
Huoyan walked into the mountains with Lu Chen and Ah Tu for another two days, and then finally came to a remote canyon.
When Lu Chen walked here, especially in this canyon where black rocks could be seen everywhere, including black boulders exposed in many gravel areas, he felt that his feet and surroundings began to get hot. The further you go inside, the stronger this feeling becomes, and at the same time, more and more black stones appear around you.
For some reason, Lu Chen suddenly remembered the terrifying Chaos Abyss that he had accidentally approached before, and there seemed to be a large number of black stones around that world-class dangerous Jedi, and at the same time, in the depths of that weird and unpredictable Chaos Abyss, black seemed to be the main color there.
However, of course, this place is not comparable to the Chaos Abyss, Huoyan took Lu Chen all the way to the deepest part of the canyon, and then looked around vigilantly to make sure that no one was snooping, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times with reverence, and then found a rock pillar that looked inconspicuous in the canyon and was about three feet high above the ground.
Lu Chen watched for a long time, and he didn't see anything special about this black rock pillar, but the igneous rock just chose it, and then with this black rock pillar as a starting point, the barbarian walked seven steps north, another thirty-six steps to the east, and then three steps to the north, and then stopped in a clearing.
Under Lu Chen's somewhat surprised gaze, the igneous rock fell to the ground and slapped it four times in different directions on the three-foot radius of the ground in a very strange rhythm.
Lu Chen was surprised and inexplicable, and suddenly, only a dull sound was heard, and a heavy stone slab on the ground slowly retreated, revealing a deep and bottomless tunnel that extended downward.
"Let's go. Huoyan turned back to Lu Chen and said, "The altar is down there. ”
