After the hustle and bustle, the entire Black Fire tribe ushered in another ceremony like a change of dynasty in a huge shock, among the tribes in the wasteland, the patriarch enthronement ceremony is almost always one of the most solemn ceremonies, but on this day, the new patriarch Huoyan, who had just lost his father Fire Tiger, ordered this ceremony to be held in the simplest way. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He said that the moment was not suitable for a big operation, that there was still blood flowing in the camp of the tribe, that those who had fallen to the ground and had died had known each other the day before, that the people who could greet each other on the road, that the air was full of solemnity and solemnity, and that no one had the heart to carry out the ceremony.

And the igneous rock didn't need this ritual either, it was never what he wanted.

That day, when the cremation of his dead father was held, he stood by the fire and watched as the raging fire engulfed his father's body, and remained silent from beginning to end.

And the Fire Eagle standing beside Huoyan, this barbarian boy who inherited the bloodline of the two patriarchs of Huohu and Huoyan, seemed to be extremely excited. He howled and cried over the fire, his body trembling, and at last he even fell to his knees and pounded the ground with his hands desperately.

His mouth whimpered low, as if he was about to say something, but he never said it out loud. The burly man standing beside him seemed to obscure all light, leaving him with only a dark shadow that made him breathe in despair and too frightened to speak.

At the end of the day, when the fire tiger had turned to ashes and returned to the embrace of the gods, everyone had dispersed, and only father and son were left in front of the fire.

Huoyan turned his head to look at his son, his face indifferent, and a look of pain or pain passed through the depths of his eyes, but it was only a flash of light, and no one would ever see it again.

Then he turned away and did not say another word to his son.

When the tall figure walked away, the fire eagle seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief, and the whole person almost collapsed to the ground. He stared at the burning pyre in a daze, then struggled to his feet, trying to get out of here.

But at this moment, two figures suddenly walked over from the side, Kong Wu was powerful, strong and fierce, but it was the iron bear and the black bull.

Fire Eagle was taken aback, looked up at the two of them, Iron Bear and Black Bull glanced at each other, there was a trace of embarrassment and regret in their eyes, but most of the barbarian warriors in the wasteland were not too entangled, so soon, Iron Bear opened his mouth and said to Fire Eagle: "Fire Eagle, the patriarch asked us two to protect you to a place. ”

"Protection?" said Firehawk with a miserable laugh.

"Yes, protection. Let's go. The black bull stepped aside and said in a low voice.

The Fire Eagle walked over silently, accompanied by these two warriors of the same clan, and walked in the other direction of the tribe.

"I still underestimate you. ”

In the dimly lit priest's stone house, only Lu Chen and Huoyan were sitting on the ground at the moment, and there was no one else, and the huge black wolf Ah Tu, who looked lazy, was lying on the door and was sleepy, blocking the eyes of all outsiders.

The two of them did not sit upright, in fact they sat on the ground by the wall without grace, leaning against the wall, and then stretched out their legs and clasped hands, looking far away at the gradually darkening sky outside the window in the distance.

After a moment of silence, Huoyan spoke, "What are you underestimating me?"

Lu Chen said: "I originally thought you wouldn't be so ruthless. ”

Huoyan smiled, but there was no joy on his face, and it seemed that the smile was more ugly than crying, and more hideous than roaring. With a bit of self-deprecation, he raised his right hand, put his palm in front of his eyes and waved it to watch, and then whispered, "This hand should not be stained with blood yet." ”

Lu Chen glanced at him lightly and said, "If you want to make yourself feel better, you can also think like this, go back and find an opportunity to get rid of the person who did it, and everything will naturally be at ease." ”

Huoyan put down his palm, stared at Lu Chen, his eyes seemed to be a little cold, and said, "Do you believe this kind of thing yourself, and lie to yourself like this?"

Lu Chen's eyes closed slightly, and after a while, he said, "Yes, you just need to tell yourself that you are right, and then believe in this idea, and that's fine." His demeanor and gaze seemed to be a little erratic at this moment, as if he thought of the past, and then said: "Sometimes, if you don't do this, it will be difficult to survive." ”

Huoyan glanced deeply at the black-robed priest, and felt that there seemed to be many hidden secrets hidden under his calm demeanor, but on this day, he was not in the mood to know.

So, he just kept silent.

After a while, Huoyan suddenly took out something from his arms, played with it in his hand a few times, and then threw it to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen stretched out his hand to take it and found that it was a black stone.

There were many such stones in the Black Rock Canyon where the Vulcan Altar was located, but in other places, they were very rare.

Huoyan looked at him and said, "I'm a little strange, why did you seem to be an unpredictable prophet, and when you left the Fire God Altar, you agreed with me to hang the black stone outside the door, did you have expected that my father and I would have such a fierce conflict?"

Lu Chen gently rubbed the black stone with his hand, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, it's just that when I was on the side of the northern human race before, I always heard and saw a lot of dramas like this, so I thought about being prepared, probably useless." It's just that I didn't expect that it seems that you barbarians, like us Terrans, also like infighting. ”

Fire Rock sighed and didn't speak.

Lu Chen said: "Now there is basically no power in the Black Fire Clan to compete with you, and the old diehards in the open and in the dark have all been wiped out in this layout." What's next for you?"

Huoyan snorted and said, "It's all come to this point, what else can we do? He looked up at the sky, a hint of excitement and hope faintly floating in the depths of his eyes, and said in a low voice: "This is all for the glory of the Fire God, in order to restore the supreme glory of our Black Fire Clan ancestors. One day, when I succeed, when I see the ancestral spirits again, I will be able to boast out loud about what I have done. ”

Lu Chen stared at him, and after a while, he nodded and said, "You're right. ”

Anyway, in addition to thinking so now, except for this road all the way to the dark and going to the end, isn't there no other choice for the time being?

"Thunder Lizard, Ghost Fox and Mountain Spirit Clan, the rest of the three, can you choose one?"

When Huoyan stood up and was about to leave here, Lu Chen also stood up, stopped him, and then asked.

Huoyan pondered for a moment and said, "You let me go back and think about this matter carefully, the three clans are more advantageous and disadvantageous, and I will reply to you tomorrow." ”

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Huoyan said again: "But is it necessary to be in such a hurry?"

Lu Chen said lightly: "Originally, maybe not, but now that such a big event has just happened here in Black Fire, a new big battle is enough to make all the people in the clan take their attention away, and it can also make them officially and completely recognize your status." ”

"You need a great victory to exterminate the clan!" Lu Chen said to Huoyan very seriously.

Huoyan was silent for a moment, then nodded, "You're right. After saying that, he turned around and walked to the door, but when he passed by Ah Tu, who was lying on the ground, he suddenly stopped again, looked around, and said, "This stone house is dim and narrow, and it is not worthy of your identity. ”

Lu Chen smiled and said, "You know I don't care about this. ”

Huoyan looked solemn and said: "As long as you can destroy the four clans to unify the north, and then go south to the wasteland, and rejuvenate my Black Fire Clan, when the time comes, I should build you a temple that has never been seen in the wasteland, that is the glory you deserve!"

Lu Chen smiled and waved his hand, and then Huoyan also laughed.

The two men smiled at each other, then turned around and walked in different directions.

The sky outside the house, the darkness of the night, once again fell on this ill-fated tribe.
