Before you know it, the sky has darkened, and the day is about to pass. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The two people standing outside the Black Fire Clan, Huo Yan and Lu Chen, looked so out of place, and their postures and expressions were completely different at the moment. One of them is a fierce and tall barbarian with a hideous face, and the other is a quiet, introverted and calm human race.
Even Ah Tu, who was squatting next to Lu Chen, this black wolf demon beast with a huge body, seemed to be more compatible with the barbarian of Huoyan, rather than with Lu Chen, the human race.
The two looked at each other for a long time, but neither of them spoke, and finally Lu Chen sighed and said, "Do you have any plans for this?"
There was no longer the same anger on the fire rock's face, and he looked much calmer, he looked at Lu Chen, and said, "I still believe that you are the priest sent by the Fire God to save our Black Fire Clan. ”
Lu Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "It looks like your people don't believe it." ”
Huoyan said expressionlessly: "Someday, they will believe it." As he spoke, he frowned slightly, and said, "I remember that you said earlier that when the old priest handed over the Fire God Staff to you, he once instructed you to bring this artifact back to the wasteland and send it to the Fire God Altar?"
Lu Chen stopped talking, a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes, and said, "What do you mean?"
Huoyan said: "The people in the tribe can't agree with your identity for the time being, even my father, so I can't make you the priest of our Black Fire tribe now." But that's fine, let's take this opportunity to go to the Vulcan Altar together. Since the god of fire has sent a decree for you to go there, there must be a deep meaning. ”
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment and said, "Let's go together?"
Huoyan nodded and said, "Exactly, you are new to this place, I don't know the situation, this Fire God Altar is actually a secret holy place that our Black Fire Clan has inherited from ancient times. It is said that in ancient times, the god of fire appeared in that place when he came into the world, and now the time has changed, in order to avoid the holy place from being snooped on by outsiders, so the place where the altar of the god of fire is strictly protected by our tribe, and only the patriarch has passed it on from mouth to mouth for generations. Now there are only two people in the world who know about that place, my father and me. ”
He took a deep breath and said, "So, if I don't take you there, then you may never find that place." ”
Lu Chen was silent, and after a while, he suddenly smiled, then looked at the fire rock, and said, "You probably forgot what I said to you, right?"
Huoyan said: "What?"
"I'm not your messenger of the god of fire, and I've never felt or heard of the will of the gods. I got the Fire Scepter, it was just an accident, I never thought of being a priest of your Black Fire Clan, and even if I came here in the Southern Wasteland, it was actually an inexplicable accident......"
Huoyan suddenly interrupted Lu Chen, and said categorically: "Have you ever thought that maybe this is the will of the Fire God in the dark, so you came to our Black Fire Clan." ”
Lu Chen was dumbfounded for a while, looking at Huoyan's resolute and determined expression, a sense of powerlessness also surged in his heart.
At this point, he already understood that he probably couldn't convince this seemingly powerful and persistent barbarian, probably for them, who had been believing in the fire god since birth, would never waver in the slightest.
Therefore, Lu Chen decisively changed his angle and said directly to Huoyan: "Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore, now I just don't want to be this priest, what are you going to do, do you want to kill me?"
Huoyan's breathing was a little heavier, and there was a faint fierce light in the depths of his eyes, but soon, he still restrained himself and said in a deep voice, "Can you tell me the reason?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Do you still need me to say this, it wasn't obvious enough on the tribe's side just now?" Just like your father and other people look at me, you are barbarians, and I am a human race, everyone will fight to the death when they meet, and no one will believe anyone." ”
"I believe in you. Huoyan said, "The god of fire asked you to come, no matter who you are, I will definitely believe you." ”
Lu Chen paused, shook his head and said, "It's useless for you to believe, you are not the only one in the Black Fire Clan." ”
Huoyan said: "I can make them accept you slowly." ”
Lu Chen said: "Okay, even if you are really so powerful and can change everyone's minds, you can't change my own minds." I'm a human race, and I don't really know your witchcraft, so I can't be a priest of the Black Fire Clan. ”
"What's wrong with being our priest?" Huo Yan looked a little excited, and said, "As long as you really do it, even if you are a human race, our Black Fire Clan, starting from me, will definitely respect and respect you, and will never dare to slack off in the slightest." And in this vast wasteland, except for our tribe, all the other barbarians will not shout and kill when they see you, only we can protect you!"
"Being a priest, maybe I'll die sooner. ”
“…… What?" Igneous Rock was stunned for a moment.
Lu Chen glanced at him meaningfully, and said, "The position of the tribal priest is so important and noble, why are you sure that everyone will obey a human race like me? Not to mention anything else, your father and your son are unruly at first glance, can they obey?"
Huoyan was silent for a moment, and Lu Chen said again, "In addition, I am the target of everyone when I sit on this son, I have no strength, the clansmen are not convinced, with strength, other foreign clans will regard me as a thorn in the side, wars and assassinations inside and outside must be indispensable, and I don't even want to sleep peacefully at that time." Why should I live this kind of life?"
The corners of Huoyan's mouth twitched, and he stopped talking, looking at Lu Chen's bright eyes, and sighed after a long time, and said: "According to ancient legends, it is said that your human race is the most treacherous and cunning, and today it seems that it is really worthy of its reputation. ”
"Nonsense!" Lu Chen retorted unceremoniously, "I just don't want to die, but I see that you are rough on the outside, but you are really cunning in your heart." ”
Huoyan snorted, and didn't argue with Lu Chen, but after silently muttering for a while, he suddenly spoke: "Is there any way for you to help our Black Fire Clan?"
"Nope. Lu Chen was not polite to this barbarian at all, and rejected him outright.
Soon, however, Huoyan suddenly smiled, and the smile seemed to be a little mysterious, and it seemed slightly uncoordinated on his fierce face. He lowered his voice, took a step forward, approached Lu Chen, and said in a low voice, "Then if I say, I may have a way to let you go back to the north?"
"What!"
※※※
For thousands of years, the division between the north and the south has long been a matter that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, not to mention the barbarians here in southern Xinjiang, that is, the human race cultivation realm in the north that is prosperous and extremely powerful, and it is also a helpless cry against the extremely dangerous and chaotic land. If there was indeed a passage through the north and south in the land of confusion, the army of Terran monks would have already killed it.
To Lu Chen, Huoyan's words seemed so false that he subconsciously wanted to laugh, but when he saw Huoyan's serious expression, he couldn't help but swallow back the words that came to his lips, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Are you kidding?"
"Nope. "Igneous Rock Road.
"You know there's a secret path that will take me back to the Northerners?"
"Yes!"
"I don't believe it. Lu Chen suddenly sneered and said, "The enmity between you and me is as deep as the sea, if there is really such a path, the barbarians are afraid that they will be killed long ago, right?"
Huoyan shook his head and said, "That road is extremely dangerous, ordinary people can't cross it at all, and the large army of people is destined to only be wiped out." On the contrary, if you are alone, there may be a little chance. ”
Lu Chen sneered, "Do you think I'll believe your ridiculous words?"
Huoyan stared at him, and suddenly took another step forward, this time with his mouth in his ear, and spoke softly in the lowest voice.
Lu Chen's face was a little cold at first, but soon showed a little stunned, and then his eyebrows furrowed, falling into deep thought, until Huoyan finished speaking and took a few steps back, Lu Chen still groaned for a while, and only after a while did he raise his eyes and glance at Huoyan, and said, "Is this true?"
Huoyan looked indifferent, reached out and groped in a leather pocket around his waist, and then threw something over.
Lu Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed it in his palm, lowered his eyes and looked carefully, only to see that it was a half-broken wooden plaque, dark brown in color, half the size of a palm, and he could vaguely see that there was a pattern carved on one side, twisted and stretched, non-word and non-printed, and he couldn't tell what it looked like for a while.
It's just that Lu Chen's body shook slightly, his eyes were firmly fixed on this half of the wooden card, and after a long time, he let out a sigh of relief and threw the wooden card back to Huoyan.
Huoyan caught it, stared at Lu Chen, and said, "What? Do you recognize this thing?"
Lu Chen said slowly: "If you are lucky, there are not many people in the world who recognize this thing, but I am one of them." ”
Huoyan's eyes flashed, and he said, "Then you believe me?"
Lu Chen was silent for a long time, and then said: "Although what you said is a bit ridiculous, I believe it. ”
Huoyan quietly clenched his fists, took a step forward, and said, "Are you willing to help me?"
Lu Chen nodded slowly and said, "Even if there is only a little hope, I don't want to stay here." ”
"Good!" said Huoyan flatly, "I swear to you, as long as you can help me make the Black Fire Clan strong again, I will tell you the secret that will allow you to return north." If you break this oath, let the god of fire condemn me, and I will not die well. ”
Lu Chen looked at him, but shook his head and said, "No." ”
Huoyan frowned and said, "What?"
Lu Chen stared at him and said word by word: "I don't want your life, if you swear, in the name of the entire Black Fire Clan, if you deceive me in the future, then the Fire God will turn his back on you and send down heavenly punishment, and the Black Fire Tribe will be extinct and will not exist in the world!"
Huo Yan was furious, and let out a low roar, like a giant beast roaring, his hands suddenly grabbed Lu Chen's chest, almost lifting him up.
Ah Tu next to him was also suddenly frightened and jumped up, showing his sharp fangs at the fire rock, and roared.
Huoyan didn't care about Ah Tu, a pair of bloodthirsty eyes looked at Lu Chen angrily, and said, "How dare you curse our Black Fire Clan like this?"
Lu Chen didn't have a look of fear on his face, but said lightly: "Why, you don't dare to make this oath?" )
