Chapter 356: Snow Mountain Giant Wolf
On the issue of the selection of priests, in the end, Huoyan finally gave in, or it was not appropriate to say so, because neither Lu Chen nor Huoyan himself actually had a better choice. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Huoyan didn't want to believe that there was not a single person in his tribe who was really suitable to become a priest, but the truth was in front of him, and at the same time, it was once again a heavy blow to his reverence for the god of fire that his tribe worshipped.
Therefore, in the following days, although this barbarian became more and more silent, his cooperation with Lu Chen became more and more tacit.
The secret that Lu Chen told Huoyan is actually not complicated, in the case of the ancient priest inheritance of the Black Fire Tribe has been severed, the black fire power that appears in the tribe now is inherited through the artifact of the Fire God Scepter, including Lu Chen, who also went to the Fire God Altar with Huo Yan, and after obtaining the complete Fire God Scepter, he obtained the black fire witchcraft inherited by the Black Fire Tribe for generations.
And Lu Chen discovered a secret from it during this time, the Fire Scepter is indeed a powerful artifact, it is even powerful enough to control the priests who get the inheritance power from it, as long as the first black flame in the body is obtained from the Fire Scepter, and if you practice witchcraft based on it, you will not be able to get rid of the prohibition of the Fire Scepter for the rest of your life.
In other words, whoever masters this artifact will have absolute control over the many priests who will be inspired by the Fire Scepter in the future, and it will definitely be enough to make them live and die without being able to resist. As for Lu Chen, it was an exception, because the original black fire power in his body did not come from the Fire Scepter.
After knowing this secret, Fire Rock's confidence was greatly increased, and after careful consideration, he finally put aside his worries and began to train the priests of the next generation of the Black Fire Clan.
And in this process, Lu Chen also cooperated, and selected some of the witchcraft he had learned and passed them on to the newcomers.
However, unexpected troubles still happened, and the witchcraft inheritance of this tribe really had many mysterious and unimaginable dangers, and it was difficult for even Lu Chen himself to explain them clearly. A total of seven priest candidate barbarians, after Huo Yan personally used the Fire Scepter to enlighten them to inherit the power of black fire, they all looked normal at first, but after continuing to cultivate deeply, after only two months, an abnormal situation occurred.
Begin to die people.
The first to die was a barbarian man from the Thunderlizard tribe, and it was one morning, and he went out of the house as usual and in a good mood. In fact, no matter what, the Thunder Lizard tribe has been wiped out after all, and he himself is just an ordinary person in the tribe back then, he was captured by the Black Fire Tribe and became a prisoner, thinking that he would suffer a lot and even lose his life, who knew that he would have the opportunity to become a priest who he couldn't even think of in the past, and it was impossible to say that he was unhappy.
However, it was such an optimistic man who was quite looking forward to the future, and that morning, in front of many people of the Black Fire Clan, when he was walking on the way to the camp to go to the stone house of the black-robed priest for training, suddenly, a huge black flame erupted from his body, and then wrapped him in it and burned wildly.
The barbarian screamed and roared, but all was useless, and the black flames engulfed him, and he died in agony in full view of the terrified crowd.
This incident quickly caused a sensation in the entire Black Fire Clan, and countless people whispered and talked about it, some people gloated, and some people said that it was the gods who condemned the crime, but all the voices were finally suppressed, because both the fire rock and the land dust had no way to retreat.
After this first accident, the days that followed were no longer peaceful, and all kinds of mysterious and strange visions began to occur gradually.
Among the seven people, one of the thunder lizard tribe died, and then after half a month, he suddenly went crazy. It's also without warning.,I woke up in the morning and I still looked completely fine.,But all of a sudden, I went berserk.,Grabbing the people I saw on the road and biting like a dog.。
After being subdued by the guards who rushed in, the man still couldn't calm down, he was indescribably furious, and after being locked in a cage, he roared day and night, and the terrible sound echoed over the Black Fire Tribal camp every night, like the most terrible curse in the world.
Three days later, the madman died.
Then another month passed, and a third man died, in an unusually strange manner, his whole body and limbs fell off inexplicably and then died silently, and it is said that the man's expression seemed to be very peaceful, as if he had suddenly died in his sleep.
Such strange things happened in a row, and the entire Black Fire Clan was panicked, even if it was such a strong leader as Huoyan, he was under great pressure at this moment.
At the height of the tension, there were various rumors circulating among the Black Fire tribe, many saying that the god of fire was provoked and sent down divine punishment, and that the god of fire was angry that his power was stolen by foreigners.
Even if Fire Rock explained several times that he had absolute control over the Vulcan Scepter, it couldn't stop this rumor from spreading.
But fortunately, after that, this vision fell silent for a while, and the remaining four people didn't have any strange things happening, and they gradually gained the power of black fire through cultivation. Although it is still far inferior to Lu Chen, the growth of priests has always been slow, they are the norm, and people like Lu Chen are abnormal.
※※※
After a year like this, everything finally calmed down, the Black Fire Clan grew stronger and stronger in dormancy, and the new priests began to truly comprehend the power of witchcraft, and at the same time, as Lu Chen had designed before, they could not get rid of the control of the Fire Scepter at all, and could only obey the orders of the Fire Rock who had mastered the Fire Scepter.
Lu Chen did what he had to do, and then Huoyan didn't deceive him, and told him the secret path method of returning to the north.
"That road is in the Great Snow Mountains. When that day came, Huoyan told Lu Chen the secret hidden in his heart, "The Great Snow Mountain is covered with storms and ice all year round, but there will be three days of the year, and the wind and snow will stop in a hidden canyon in the mountain, and there will be a dangerous path between the cliffs that can lead to the land of confusion. ”
Lu Chen looked at this barbarian deeply, frowned, and asked, "Have you walked that path?"
Huoyan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "That road is not taken by people, it is too dangerous, I dare not take it." ”
Lu Chen stared at him and questioned, "Then how do you know that the road leads to the Confused Land in the North?"
Huoyan said: "Because I once saw a huge demon beast leap through the canyon, holding a corpse in its bloody mouth, I can see that it is not a barbarian. ”
Lu Chen's face changed slightly.
Huoyan continued: "Except for those most powerful giant beast demon clans on the Great Snow Mountain, it is impossible for the human race to survive, whether it is you human race or our barbarian race, it is not possible. And there have been no Terrans in the wasteland for many years, so that monster must have come from your Confused Lands. ”
He then sighed and said, "I swear to heaven that this statement is not false, but that road is indeed too dangerous, and you will die if you go here." Lu Chen, I still say the same thing, as long as you are willing to stay and work hard with me, I will share any glory and wealth with you in the future. ”
Lu Chen was silent for a moment and said, "No need, I'll try it." He paused for a moment, then casually asked, "What does that giant beast look like?"
"Hmm...... It seems to be a giant wolf. ”
"Giant wolf?"
"Yes," Huoyan thought for a moment, and pointed to the lazy big black dog lying next to Lu Chen with his hand, "It's a bit like it, but it's much bigger than it." ”
