Now that the igneous rock has recovered, the whole person seems to be fine, as if the experience in that mysterious tree hole is really a dream. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, on the next journey, Huoyan obviously seemed to have a thought, often frowning as if thinking about something, and from time to time he would look at Lu Chen, looking a little hesitant.

Lu Chen saw his expression in his eyes, and he was a little more careful in his heart, no matter what, he and Huoyan were still two people of different races after all, even if Huoyan had sworn a heavy oath, but Lu Chen didn't really believe him completely.

The ancient tree cave brought by that mysterious seed is really too magical, and anyone in the world will inevitably covet it if they see it, not to mention that this thing is actually inextricably linked to the Black Fire Clan, and it doesn't seem to be a strange thing if Fire Rock has any thoughts about it.

However, as long as the igneous rock didn't say anything, Lu Chen just didn't see it, otherwise he really wanted to question this, and he was afraid that there would be a possibility of tearing his face immediately.

Lu Chen pretended to be deaf and dumb, but it didn't mean that Huoyan was the same, so after the two walked silently for a while, seeing that dusk was approaching, Huoyan suddenly turned around to face Lu Chen, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Lu Chen, wait a minute, I have something to say to you." ”

Lu Chen sighed in his heart, nodded and stopped, but at the same time, his palm waved in the place where the fire rock behind him could not be seen, and Ah Tu, who was standing behind him, saw it, and then slowly walked to Lu Chen's side.

On the previous journey, Lu Chen and Huoyan managed to kill a demon beast living in the wasteland, and the two of them and Ah Tu ate separately, counting up, Ah Tu ate more than the two of them combined, and now it can be regarded as a state of "full of wine and food".

However, it was obvious that the grace of a meal for this black wolf still could not shake the friendship between Ah Tu and Lu Chen, so Ah Tu stood on Lu Chen's side without hesitation, roared softly, and slowly revealed his snow-white fangs.

Huoyan didn't seem to notice that Ah Tu was a little abnormal, he still looked at Lu Chen, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Lu Chen, I have something here, since I have already identified you as the priest of our Black Fire Clan, I should hand it over to you." ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of animal skin from his arms and handed it to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, a little unexpected, but he quickly calmed down, nodded and took the animal skin, and at the same time quietly kicked Ah Tu with his foot.

Ah Tu, who was grinning his teeth and making a vicious appearance, suddenly froze, then looked at Lu Chen a little innocently, muttered in his mouth, and simply leaned on his stomach, lying on the ground next to him, lazily ignoring these complex and changeable human beings.

Lu Chen naturally didn't care about this goods, he took a look at the animal skin in his hand, only to feel that the tentacles felt a little rough, and it was very thick to the touch, and at the same time, the fur was dark and black, and he couldn't tell what kind of animal fur it was for a while, so he couldn't help but ask a little strangely: "What is this?"

Huoyan sighed, looking a little bitter on his face, and said, "This is a witchcraft scroll that has been passed down from generation to generation by the ancestors of our Black Fire Clan, and it records several kinds of witchcraft that can only be used by our Black Fire Clan shamans or priests. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said, "This thing has been damaged, and now it can only be regarded as a fragment." ”

Lu Chen was taken aback, and after hesitating for a moment, he didn't immediately open the animal skin, but stared at the fire rock, and said, "I haven't been to the Fire God Altar yet, and I haven't really been recognized by your Fire God. This leather scroll must be an extremely precious treasure to your clan, so you can trust it to me?"

Huo Yan was silent for a moment and said, "I did be a little wary of you before, so I hid this leather scroll and didn't give it to you." But the encounter with wolves made me understand. ”

In this vast southern wilderness, strength is the most important thing, whether it is for tribes large and small, or for individual barbarian warriors.

Those who are weak will eventually be destroyed by men, and it will be difficult to survive in this harsh wasteland.

The priest is one of the most powerful people in the tribe, and because the fire rock has concealed this secret before, when the wolves suddenly appeared, if it weren't for Lu Chen's mysterious and weird tree hole to hide, there would probably be no human bones at this moment.

As for the other distractions, as long as it is determined that it is the will of the Fire God, there is probably no need to be serious and persistent, these are the things that Huoyan wants to say at this moment.

"However, I'm a human race, and I haven't been recognized by the god of fire, is this really okay?" Lu Chen asked again.

Huoyan shook his head and said, "If I had given you this thing before, maybe after you learned a little bit of the witchcraft described above, we wouldn't be helpless in the face of wolves." ”

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then waved the leather scroll in his hand, and said with some disbelief: "The witchcraft above here is so powerful?"

Huo Yan thought about it, and seemed not quite sure, and said: "Our tribe has not had a priest for a long time, so we don't know how powerful this witchcraft is, but the word of mouth in the tribe is to praise the glory and strength of the ancestors in the past, and this witchcraft must also be powerful." ”

Lu Chen was skeptical, and after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but be a little curious, and said, "Then I saw it?"

Huoyan nodded and said, "You can learn it, as long as you can learn the witchcraft above, I think our clan may really have a chance of revival." ”

"You're thinking so far. Lu Chen sighed at the barbarian's persistent ambition, and then opened the leather scroll.

The thick hide was folded in several layers and tied with a string in the middle, so it took a while to unravel. Perhaps knowing the weight of this thing, Lu Chen's movements were also very careful.

As for the fire rock standing on the side, he stared at Lu Chen's hand even more.

After a while, Lu Chen finally opened the leather scroll completely, and in the somewhat dim light of dusk, the animal skin spread out in front of the two of them, revealing what was hidden inside.

Huoyan's breathing was noticeably rapid, his gaze swept over the hide, and then his eyes looked at Lu Chen, a faint look of anticipation in the depths of his eyes.

And Lu Chen also looked solemn, looking at the handwriting on this animal skin seriously, and there were many very strange-looking portraits.

For a long time, they didn't speak, until Lu Chen's gaze completely swept over the animal skin and raised his head again, that Huo Yan stepped forward with some excitement and asked him, "What's the matter? What is the witchcraft recorded on it, and is it powerful?"

Lu Chen's face looked a little strange, and after taking a deep breath, he looked at the fire rock, then coughed dryly, and said, "I'm sorry, I don't understand!"

※※※

"Don't understand?" Huo Yan was stunned for a moment, didn't seem to react, and repeated in amazement.

Lu Chen said "um", nodded and pointed to the handwriting and pictures on the animal skin, and said, "I really don't understand, I don't know what these words and these paintings mean." Isn't it your barbarian's own writing?"

Huoyan's brows tightened suddenly, but after hesitating for a moment, he still shook his head and said, "No, I have also seen this beast skin before, and the text on it is different from the text of our Black Fire Tribe, including most barbarian tribes. ”

"Huh?" Lu Chen was a little surprised, he didn't expect what he heard to be this answer, isn't this thing recorded the witchcraft of the Black Fire Clan, why can't even the barbarians of the Black Fire Tribe understand it?

What is the rationale for this?

Huoyan explained to Lu Chen: "Actually, I have asked my father about this before, and I heard my father say that the words on this witchcraft scroll actually belong only to shamans and priests, and only they can understand them, and the most amazing thing is that the priests don't seem to need to learn it specifically, as long as they have this power, they can naturally understand these things." ”

Lu Chen frowned, raised his eyes to look at the fire rock, and after a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "But I don't recognize it, does this mean that I am not a priest at all?"

Huoyan was suddenly dumbfounded, and a trace of pain and dazed expression passed over his face, and he muttered, "This, how is this possible...... I see that you can use the power of black fire. Is it because you're not a barbarian?"

Lu Chen sighed and said, "Huoyan, although I really want to return to the north, and by the way, I also want to help you, but this kind of thing, let's stop deceiving ourselves." ”

The fire rock froze in place, looking a little lost, like a person who had originally cherished countless good hopes, and suddenly, all the sweet dreams were shattered in an instant.

Lu Chen looked a little sympathetic, but then he came to his senses and secretly scolded himself for being completely soft-hearted recently, and even a barbarian was sympathetic. I thought about hardening my heart again, but then I was a little worried, if I really couldn't be the priest of the Black Fire Clan, it seemed to be more difficult to ask Huoyan the secret of returning to the north.

After all, this is a person who refused to divulge his secrets before he died after meeting the wolves.

Sure enough, after a while, the expression on Huoyan's face began to turn cold, and he stretched out his hand to Lu Chen, saying, "Give me back that animal skin." ”

Lu Chen frowned, didn't hand it back to him immediately, and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

"Now that you're sure you're not the priest of our Black Fire Clan, I don't think there's any need to go to the Vulcan Altar anymore. Fire Rock said.

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Okay, that's a good thing." But in that case, I have no ill will towards you Black Fire Clan, so I wonder if you can tell that secret......"

"No!" said Igneous Rock, with a flat but unquestioning expression.

After Lu Chen looked at him for a while, he suddenly "snorted", and then said lightly: "You wait, I may have another way, try it." ”
