It's dawn. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Ye Zi, who didn't dare to close his eyes all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that ray of skylight, and then lowered his head and hurriedly ran out under the pretext of fetching water, not even daring to look at Lu Chen. But she didn't know what she was afraid of, maybe it was the cold and contemptuous words of the black-robed priest last night in the dark shadows?
Ye Zi remembered those words in her heart, she understood some places, and she would be a little confused after listening to some places. The thoughts of the black-robed priest always seemed to be very different from the barbarians that Ye Zi knew, and for some reason, Ye Zi was very scared in his heart.
Even if the person named Lu Chen was actually not vicious to her, but was very friendly, at least he got along peacefully.
Ye Zi is not a fool, although her knowledge is not rich, she can still feel that Lu Chen does not have too much malice towards her, but she still can't suppress the fear in front of this black-robed priest.
As she escaped from the priest's stone house that day, she gasped for breath and watched the large tribe around her, whose population was growing rapidly and gradually waking up in the morning light, slowly becoming lively, Ye Zi suddenly seemed to realize something.
Everything in front of him may be vibrant, but behind the lively light, the shadow of the black-robed priest is always a dark existence, and he always seems to be out of step with this wasteland and the barbarians in the wasteland.
And he never wanted to fit in.
If only at this time, he has already done the slaughter of barbarians, the slaughter of tribes, and the enslavement of many barbarians, then one day, when this dark force is strong enough that no one can even control and resist it, what will this terrible black-robed priest do?
Ye Zi stood in the morning light in a daze, shivering all over.

When Ye Zi finally stabilized his mood and wandered outside for a long time, he returned to the priest's stone house with a bucket of water, but suddenly found that it was empty, and there was no one left.
She subconsciously put down the bucket in her hand and breathed a sigh of relief, probably the black-robed priest was not here to make her feel more comfortable. It's just that she stood and stood, her brows furrowed again, and after being silent for a while, Ye Zi suddenly turned around and ran out, and asked in a loud voice to a black fire guard who was still guarding the outside of the stone house, "Lord Priest, where did he go?"
The Black Fire Guardian was taken aback, but Ye Zi's current identity was a little unusual, even if she was a maid, she was also the only maid in the entire Black Fire Clan who could live in the priest's stone house, and she was the only person who could talk to the black-robed priest.
No one would want to offend her, not even the Black Fire Guard, who was very powerful on the battlefield and had killed countless people, so Ye Zi quickly got an answer from that person.
"The chief of the fire rock has sent for the priest to come over and discuss the matter. ”
Ye Zi was a little dazed, nodded and walked back to the stone house. As her gaze swept over the silent room, she finally understood in her heart a fact that she might not have wanted to admit before, that terrible black-robed priest was already closely linked to her fate. Without him, she would be a hundred times more miserable than she is now.
She sat down in a corner of the room with a blank face, burying her head between her knees.
She thought she would be sad and sad again, and she should cry sadly, but for some reason, this time she had nothing but sat quietly like that.
After a while, Ye Zi sighed, then stood up, took a rag and water, but began to clean and tidy up the stone house more seriously than ever.

At the very center of the Black Fire tribal camp is the tallest and largest stone house, which has always been the residence of the tribal chief. And not so long ago, the previous patriarch, Fire Tiger, lived here.
Now, the fire tiger has been turned into ashes in that blazing flame and returned to the ancestors, and the owner here has also become a fire rock. When Lu Chen walked in from outside, the black fire warriors who were guarding along the way bowed their heads and saluted, showing their greatest respect to the black-robed priest.
Even the person who invited him over in the past was one of the two highest-ranking generals in the Black Fire Clan today, Black Bull. Even he didn't dare to cross Lu Chen, and cautiously followed his flank.
This kind of treatment made Lu Chen feel a little uncomfortable, but he knew in his heart what all this was for, it was because of strength.
Having great power, in the southern wilderness, may mean having everything, including the respect and awe of others.
Huoyan stayed in this big stone house with several heavy entrances, and when he saw Lu Chen coming, he immediately greeted him, and then waved his hand at the black bull very directly, asking him to go outside to stop others from entering.
The black bull obeyed the order, but Lu Chen glanced at him and said, "What's the matter, do you have something to say to me?"
Huoyan nodded and said, "There is an important matter, you come with me." With that, he turned and walked towards a passage on the side.
Lu Chen followed behind the black bull, made a few turns, and saw a secluded small stone room in front of him, but there was a person standing at the door with a vigilant face, it was the iron bear, another henchman of Huoyan.
Seeing these two coming, Tie Xiong hurriedly saluted, and Huoyan nodded and said, "What's the matter?"
Iron Bear pointed to the small stone chamber behind him and whispered, "The people are still inside." ”
Huoyan said "um", looked around again, and said, "Does anyone else know?"
Tie Xiong immediately shook his head and said, "No one knows about this, just now I have been staying here every step of the way, guaranteeing with my life, no one else will come close here." ”
"Good. A look of satisfaction flashed in Huoyan's eyes, patted Tie Xiong's strong shoulder, and said, "Good job, you are guarding by the side now, just like just now, no one is allowed to approach here." ”
Iron Bear agreed, and took a few steps back to the side.
Huoyan glanced at Lu Chen, then opened the door and strode in. Lu Chen came to the door, and after a slight pause in his footsteps, he also walked in.
The scope of the stone room is not too large, and the furnishings are simple, and there is a figure standing there at this moment. Hearing the movement behind him, the man turned around suddenly, and when he saw the fire rock, he was immediately overjoyed, and said with a little excitement: "Fire rock patriarch, I finally waited for you to come over." ”
Huoyan bowed slightly, but he didn't rush to speak for a while, but glanced at Lu Chen, who was standing aside.
Sure enough, I saw Lu Chen's brows furrowed, his eyes staring at the barbarian in front of him faintly and sharply, looking up and down, only to see that the rest of his body was no different from an ordinary barbarian, except that he had a fur-like thing on his head, which looked a little like the fur of a tanuki.
After a while, Lu Chen suddenly snorted coldly, walked over to look at this person, and said lightly: "People from the Ghost Fox Clan, why are you here?"
The man seemed to have expected such a question, and he seemed to know a little about Lu Chen, and after showing a little awe on his face, he said in a deep voice: "Patriarch, Lord Priest, I have come here to give you a great gift on the order of the Ghost Fox Patriarch!"
