"By the way, among the group of people who surrendered from the Mountain Spirit Clan, how many Black Fire Guards are you going to recruit?" Huo Yan seemed to remember something, and asked Lu Chen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Chen said: "Thirty people." ”

Huoyan raised his eyebrows and said, "More than the Shenmu tribe?"

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, the people of the Mountain Spirit Clan who were forced to surrender this time are also a lot more than the people of the Shenmu Clan last time, so there are a lot of talents. ”

Huoyan was silent for a moment and said, "If you count it this way, there are fifty Black Fire Guardians here. ”

Lu Chen's face was calm, he glanced at him lightly, and said, "Well, what do you want to say?"

Huoyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Our Black Fire Clan has warriors who can enter the demonization with runes, and there are only eighty people at most so far, which is already a bit close. He looked up at Lu Chen and said, "And if everything goes well, we will have to deal with the two tribes of the ghost fox and the thunder lizard in the future, the ghost fox people are still fewer, but the thunder lizard is the most populous tribe among our original five major clans." At that time, the number of this Black Fire Guardian will most likely exceed that of our own demonic warriors. ”

Lu Chen's expression on his face still didn't change, and he said, "You're right, it should be this result." ”

Huo Yan looked at him deeply and said, "You are not afraid that when the power will flip over, those people may have some different intentions?"

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "No." ”

Huoyan said in a deep voice, "Are you so sure?"

Lu Chen said: "First, we can control the life and death of these Black Fire Guards, and second, presumably you, like me, will not have the leisure to recuperate in this barren place." When the time comes, it is natural to continue to go south, those tribes in the south are completely different from the thunder lizard, ghost fox and the like, and there are many priests among the powerful tribes, and the strength is much stronger, and it is inevitable that people will die at that time. At that time, the damned nature will be dead. ”

Fire Rock was silent for a long time, then nodded.

After separating from Lu Chen, Huoyan walked around the camp for another time, and then walked all the way back to his residence.

At this time, the envoy of the Ghost Fox tribe had been secretly sent away by Iron Bear, Black Bull and others, and when Huo Yan walked outside the remote stone house, he turned his head to look over there, and there seemed to be a bit of a deep groan on his face.

When he walked back to the hall where the patriarch of the Black Fire tribe had lived for generations, he saw a figure standing there, as if waiting for something. Huoyan walked in, and the man turned around, only to see that it was a white-haired old man, but it was a white eagle.

Seeing that Huoyan was coming, Bai Diao hurriedly came over to salute, Huoyan was very respectful and polite to him, and quickly stopped, and then the two of them went to the stone house together and sat down, and then Huoyan said to Bai Diao: "Uncle Diao, didn't I tell you, when there is no one in private, you don't have to be so polite, with our relationship, there is really no need to ......"

Bai Diao said with a smile: "No, no, no, I know that Huoyan has a good temperament and respects me very much, but after all, you are now the patriarch, and you still have to do the etiquette." ”

Huo Yan smiled, didn't say anything, turned his head to change the topic, and said, "Come to me today, but is there something wrong?"

Bai Diao nodded, and was just about to speak, when he suddenly turned his head to look outside the house, and said in Huoyan: "There are people guarding outside, they are all soldiers who are close to our clan, Uncle Diao can rest assured." ”

The white eagle said "um", and then said to the fire rock: "I just saw you and the Terran priest walking in the camp, it seems that they have been talking for a long time?"

Huoyan bowed his head and said, "Indeed, I talked to the priest about something just now. He didn't hide it, and he repeated what he had just said with Bai Diao, including Lu Chen's response, it seemed that he had an unusual trust in Bai Diao, the old man.

After hearing this, the white eagle pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "I see. ”

Huoyan said: "What does Uncle Diao want to say?"

Bai Diao said: "I came here before, in fact, I also wanted to remind you of this matter, but you have already thought of it yourself, which reassures me a lot." As he said that, he smiled a little, looking quite relieved, but then he frowned again and said, "But although Lu Chen has responded to you in this matter, if you think about it from a distance, if the number of Black Fire Guards continues to grow like this, and they are increasingly better than the soldiers of our Black Fire Headquarters, after a long time, I am afraid that there will still be a little trouble." ”

Huoyan was silent, Bai Diao glanced at him, lowered his voice, and said: "In the end, that Lu Chen is still a human race, although it is temporarily used by us because of the heart of returning to the north, but in the future, it is difficult to say whether it is completely the same mind as the patriarch and you, we can't help but guard against it." ”

Huoyan frowned and said, "Uncle Diao, what can you do?"

Bai Diao muttered: "Right now, the strength of our Black Fire Clan has increased by leaps and bounds, and it really depends on the power of this Black Fire Demonization, plus that Lu Chen also said these words to you, for the time being, we can't say anything more in terms of number of people and numbers." But......" His eyes narrowed slightly, and he moved closer to the igneous rock, and whispered a few words in a low voice.

After hearing this, Huoyan's face changed suddenly, and his face first showed a look of surprise, and then he thought about it and said in a low voice: "Priest of this clan?"

The white eagle nodded, his face was solemn and solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Exactly, patriarch, only with the priests and even shamans from our own clan of the Black Fire Clan, can we have the foundation for the Black Fire Clan to be truly strong for thousands of generations!"

Fire Rock fell silent for a long time.

When Lu Chen walked back to his priest's stone house, Ye Zi and Ah Tu were both inside, the difference was that Ye Zi was working diligently and diligently to clean up the house, while Ah Tu was lying on the ground and sleeping, looking like a complete lazy dog.

Lu Chen glanced at Ah Tu, frowned slightly, and suddenly felt that since he came to the Southern Xinjiang Wasteland, Ah Tu seemed to have changed unconsciously, but what was different from before seemed to be unclear.

Lu Chen walked over and sat down not far from Ah Tu's side, Ah Tu's ears moved, but the eyelids of a pair of dog eyes were stunned and didn't lift it.

Lu Chen didn't care about it, just sat quietly, and it didn't take long for the dim light and shadow in the room to move slowly, faintly hiding his figure into the shadows.

Ye Zi glanced over here, his eyes were a little complicated, with a bit of awe, after so long, even if Lu Chen had praised her that night, Ye Zi still had a lingering fear of this black-robed priest.

She lowered her head and got back to work, trying to clean the house before it was completely dark. But after a while, she suddenly heard Lu Chen's voice coming, and said, "Yezi, you go out for a while, if there is no big incident, no one will come in without my call, including you." ”

Ye Zi was stunned for a moment, then stood up, saluted Lu Chen respectfully, and then walked out. When she reached the door, she couldn't help but look back into the shadows, only to see the black-robed priest hidden in the shadows, as if he had merged with the darkness around him.

When the barbarian girl left, the priest's stone house fell silent.

Lu Chen sat for another moment, then raised his arm, only to see a faint flash of light, and the Fire God Scepter appeared in his hand.

There was no movement in the darkness, the Vulcan Scepter slowly floated from his hand, and after a while, a cold and dark aura spread, and the runes on the Vulcan Scepter began to light up one by one.

The difference was that compared to when Lu Chen had just received this artifact, the speed and brightness of the light on the Fire God Scepter at this moment had at least doubled.

He sat in the dark, his face couldn't be seen clearly, only his voice came a little erratically, and he whispered, "A lot of people have died recently......"

"Atu, I always feel that the black fire in this body is slowly growing. Can you feel it?"

In the darkness, the black wolf, which was originally sleeping, suddenly opened its eyes.

The eyes in the darkness, the dark green gaze, flickered with a faint black flame.
