Chapter 293: Fire Tiger
Lu Chen raised his eyes to look at the old man, and at first glance he felt a little familiar, of course, he had never seen this old barbarian who had been in the Southern Xinjiang Wasteland all his life, and after carefully looking at it for a while, Lu Chen knew where his strange feeling came from. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In terms of face contour, the eyebrows of this old barbarian are somewhat similar to those of the fire rock, but the fire rock is in the prime of life, and the essence, qi, and spirit are all in their heyday, so that people can feel fierce and powerful at a glance;
In addition to reminiscent of these two people being father and son, Lu Chen also thought of another barbarian, the murderous and vicious old barbarian who he and Yi Xin saw together in the Magic Flower River Valley on the outskirts of the Confusion Land, and was banished by the tribe because of old age.
It is probably that both of them are very old, and in the eyes of the human race, the barbarians may all look the same, and they are all the same ferocity. However, the old barbarian who was killed by Lu Chen was because the environment in the Confused Land was too harsh, which led the tribes there to adopt the terrible practice of banishing the elderly.
And here in the Southern Xinjiang Wasteland, although it also looks desolate, it is obvious that the conditions are still much better than the ghost place in the Confused Land, at least after Lu Chen walked into the camp of this Black Fire Clan, he still saw a lot of elderly barbarians.
It's just that when the old barbarian also looked at Lu Chen, he heard Huo Yan come forward and call him "Daddy", and then the other barbarian warriors saluted and called "Patriarch", but Lu Chen suddenly frowned.
The old patriarch of the Black Fire Clan, the twilight aura on his body was so heavy that even the dying old priest of the barbarian tribe in the Confusion Land looked a little more energetic than him.
"Terran?" The old barbarian looked very old, but he still showed a smile of relief and joy when his grandson grabbed his palm.
However, after listening to the little boy's complaint, when the old barbarian looked up and saw Xiang Lu Chen, his face suddenly changed greatly, and his face showed a look of consternation, and he called out.
Huoyan next to him stepped forward and whispered a few words to the old patriarch, the old barbarian was stunned for a moment, but it seemed that he still valued Huoyan's son very much, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded and agreed.
Then, the old barbarian turned around and walked back to his stone house, and Huoyan beckoned to Lu Chen, motioning for him to go in with him.
Lu Chen nodded and followed, Ah Tu followed behind him, but at the door, Huoyan glanced at the huge black wolf demon beast, and said to Lu Chen: "Let it be outside." ”
Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, touched Ah Tu's head, and said, "You wait for me here at the door, I'll come out later." ”
Ah Tu glanced at him, wagged his tail, and squatted down next to the door, and then, Lu Chen and Huoyan walked in.
As soon as the figures of these people disappeared, the atmosphere in the Black Fire Tribe was obviously much more relaxed, some of the relatives who had been reunited after a long absence went home, some stood together and laughed, and more importantly, the children in the tribe ran and jumped around, showing a little cheerful atmosphere.
Ah Tu looked at this strange place with some boredom, and suddenly, a figure flashed in front of its eyes, but it was the little boy with the loudest voice just now, that is, the son of Huoyan, standing in front of it, with a little scrutiny on his face, looking up and down at this huge monster beast with a huge body, which was also very rare in the wasteland, with a little youthful curiosity and fiery color in his eyes.
Ah Tu snorted and barked a few times, and raised his head a little vigilantly, looking at the barbarian boy.

After entering the stone house, Lu Chen looked around and found that the furnishings in this house were extremely simple, with wooden beds and stone cabinets, and a piece of animal skin, which looked like all of them. In the middle of the house, a pit was dug, and in the pit there were several charcoal fires, on which were supported a stand made of three woods, and a black clay pot was hung, in which from time to time there was a sound of bones, and it was not known what was burning.
This is still the place where the patriarch of a clan lives, and it is all so simple, and the situation in other places can be imagined, it seems that the situation of the Black Fire Tribe is indeed not very good now.
However, neither the old barbarian patriarch nor the fire rock said anything about this, and they should have been accustomed to it for a long time.
After entering the house, the old patriarch sat down at the end of the fire pit, and Huoyan asked Lu Chen to sit down on the other side, and then knelt beside the old patriarch himself, and began to whisper to the patriarch, who was also his father, the beginning and process of this matter.
In the middle of this, he also motioned to Lu Chen, asked for the Fire God Scepter, and handed it to the old patriarch to see.
Lu Chen was silent, his eyes were secretly observing the two barbarians, and from their conversation, he knew that this old patriarch was named "Fire Tiger".
A dying old tiger......
The old fire tiger listened to his son Huoyan's narration, his eyes occasionally swept over Lu Chen's face, and then looked at the fire god scepter in his hand, at this time, it was difficult to see any special emotions from his expression, in addition to the reverence from the bottom of his heart, there should also be awe of the legendary fire god.
Huoyan continued to speak, with a faint hint of excitement on his face, because at this time he had already begun to talk about what he cared about the most, it was he who he thought that Lu Chen was the favored person of the Fire God, and he must have been a gift from the Fire God to the Black Fire Clan, so it was the priest candidate that the Black Fire Clan had dreamed of for many years!
As long as there is a priest, the Black Fire Clan, which has been weak for many years, has hope of rising!
At this point, Fire Rock even trembled a little, and it was clear that for him, this goal was the most important thing he thought about day and night.
Compared with the excitement of this young and strong son, the fire tiger was much calmer in his expression while being grateful for the gift from the fire god, perhaps because he had lived a long time and his mind was heavier, when he looked at Lu Chen, there was a heavy look of doubt in his eyes.
Lu Chen could see it, but it didn't matter, he never thought of really coming to be an inexplicable priest of this black fire tribe, he wouldn't be it, and he didn't want to be it at all.
At this moment, Lu Chen wished that the Fire Tiger Patriarch would drive him out as soon as he gave an order, so that everyone would save trouble.
When Huoyan finally finished telling what had happened and made his ambitions clear to his father, the old Huohu thought silently for a long time, did not agree, and did not object, but suddenly opened his mouth and asked Lu Chen, "Do you have anything to say?"
Lu Chen glanced at him, sneered in his heart, but his face was silent, he just said calmly: "What I want to say has already been said to Huoyan before, first, I came to the Southern Frontier Wasteland completely by accident, I didn't think of bringing this Fire Scepter here; ”
After speaking, he paused for a moment, and then said, "This Fire Scepter is not of much use to me, if it is really a vital treasure of the Black Fire Clan, I can keep it and give it to you." ”
Fire Tiger, whose face had always been a little gloomy and tense, was stunned for a moment when he heard Lu Chen's last words, and then his face softened a little. But Huo Yan, who was sitting next to him, was a little anxious, and said in a deep voice: "Lu Chen, don't talk nonsense. All the coincidences you have here are all arranged by the Vulcan, and there is no one but you who can drive the power of this Vulcan Scepter at the moment. All of this must be the decision of the Fire God to make you the priest of our Black Fire Clan!"
Lu Chen was a little speechless, shook his head and smiled bitterly, looking at Huoyan's serious expression, he didn't know what to say for a while.
And the Fire Tiger also frowned, and after a moment of silence, he lowered his head again, and gently groped the Fire God Scepter with his withered palm, with a look of hesitation and contemplation on his face.
Seeing that his father seemed to be shaken, Huo Yan was suddenly a little anxious, and was about to speak to persuade him again, when suddenly at this moment, there was a commotion outside the stone house......
I just listened, a roar, accompanied by an exclamation from far and near, and a somewhat shrill scream, mixed together.
The three people in the stone house were all taken aback, and each heard a familiar voice—the scream was the son of the fire rock just now, and the low and angry roar was the voice of Ah Tu. As for the other screams, it was the barbarians of the surrounding Black Fire Clan.
Huoyan and Lu Chen both stood up from the ground at once, and after glancing at each other, they immediately strode out.
The Fire Tiger was also surprised, and walked out of the house after them.
As soon as they got outside, they saw a terrifying scene appear in front of everyone's eyes, only to see that not far from the stone house, a huge black wolf roared and roared, knocking down the barbarian boy just now.
At this moment, Ah Tu's two huge front paws pressed against the young man's shoulders, and a terrifying bloody mouth and extremely sharp, blade-like fangs had reached the young man's throat.
The young man was already frightened at this moment, and his whole body trembled slightly, but he still seemed to have a bit of the strong blood inherent in a barbarian, and he didn't cry out, but gritted his teeth and struggled desperately, but it was useless under the suppression of this huge demon beast.
The surrounding barbarians were all shocked, and many warriors pulled out their blades at once, but they didn't dare to approach, for fear that they would accidentally provoke this demon beast, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Lu Chen's face was slightly gloomy, but he still rushed over with an arrow step, and shouted: "Ah Tu, don't mess around!"
Ah Tu turned his head and saw that it was Lu Chen coming, his eyes softened slightly, but he still roared and roared, and seemed to be very angry.
Huoyan stood behind Lu Chen, his face was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to act rashly, he only watched Lu Chen reach out and hug Ah Tu's head, slowly comforting him, and when Ah Tu calmed down, his face regained a little calm, and he said in a low voice: "You let it let go of the child first!"
