Chapter 307: Demonic Temptation
"Why, can't you say, or can't you ask this question?" Seeing that Huoyan's expression was a little strange, Lu Chen didn't have any fear, and asked again with a flat expression. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Huoyan was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know. ”
"Huh?"
Huoyan said: "Over the years, everyone who has come here has followed the teachings left by our ancestors, and no one has ever doubted this sentence, and no one has ever asked like this. ”
Lu Chen nodded and didn't say anything more.
On the contrary, Huoyan's gaze stayed on Lu Chen, and after a while, he suddenly said: "I thought that you were the gift of the Fire God to our Black Fire Clan, and you were going to lead the revival of our clan, but now, I suddenly couldn't make up for it. ”
"Hmm, why is that?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, but he was not angry, but asked Huoyan with some curiosity.
Huoyan showed a little hesitation on his face, and then said: "Coming all the way, I can see that although you have the same power as the Fire God, you have no respect for the Fire God. Not only that, but you have no reverence for our tribe or for all the rules, customs, and gods of the southern wilderness. ”
This burly and tall barbarian, standing on this blazing magma river, looked as if the whole person was burning from a distance, he stared at Lu Chen, his face showed a complicated and incomprehensible look, his voice became extremely low, and said: "I now feel that all your actions in the future will definitely be incompatible with the people of the past tribes in the wasteland, and will be unexpected and unpredictable. ”
"I don't know what you will do when you become the priest of our Black Fire tribe and lead us to a real revival, and whether that is good or bad for our tribe?"
"So, do you regret it?" Lu Chen asked lightly, and then on the black stone that suddenly burst out of the magma and burned with flames, the two men suddenly fell silent, confronting each other, staring directly, and there seemed to be sparks splashing in their eyes.

I don't know how long later, when the cold atmosphere seemed to be about to reach unbearable, Huoyan suddenly turned around and walked forward, and said in a low voice, "Come with me, the altar is in front of you." ”
Looking at the tall back of the barbarian, Lu Chen was silent for a moment, and finally followed.
For the rest of the day, neither of them spoke, walking one after the other, jumping through several very dangerous magma fractures in the middle, which was equivalent to a large circle around them, and then gradually leaning inward, ring by ring, approaching the huge black stone with the altar of the god of fire.
Halfway through, Lu Chen suddenly felt that this strange and cumbersome path was a bit like a circle of whirlpools converging inward, just like the great whirlpool they had seen in the magma river under the Vulcan altar before.
Is it a coincidence......
Lu Chen glanced at the magma vortex that was getting closer and closer in front of him, his face was calm, there was no change, only a trace of doubt passed in his eyes.
The two of them went around almost three times before they finally completed this inexplicably long stone road.
Soon, at the last place near the Vulcan altar, an unusually wide fracture appeared in front of the two of them, almost twice as wide as elsewhere, and the rushing, roaring, scorching magma flowed beneath the stone, making it a little creepy to watch.
Although the scene in front of him seemed so dangerous, it was not too difficult for Fire Rock and Lu Chen.
Huoyan can almost be regarded as the most powerful figure among ordinary barbarian warriors, his strength is fierce and agile, and he jumps over it with all his might, and Lu Chen, with the blessing of the black fire spiritual power, has no problem surviving this difficulty.
After seeing the black fireworks light up on his body and then skipping the gap and coming to Lu Chen on the altar of the Fire God, Huo Yan's originally tense face finally softened a little. He nodded to Lu Chen, and then turned around and walked towards the place where the five black stone pillars were.
"Hey!" At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly shouted.
Huoyan paused for a moment, then turned to look at him and said, "What's wrong?"
Lu Chen looked directly into his eyes, his expression was calm, and said, "Before we go over to the altar, I think there are some things that we should tell you." ”
Huoyan was silent for a moment, then nodded, walked back to Lu Chen's side, and said, "You say." ”
※※※
"If you don't care about the fire god you worship and worship, from the very beginning of this matter, it should be that you insisted that I enter the Black Fire Clan to help you, and used the secret of returning to the north to blackmail me, and I myself have not taken the initiative to think about getting involved with your tribe from the beginning to the end, right?"
"But that's really Vulcan ......"
Lu Chen interrupted Huoyan's words and said, "I said, if you don't talk about the will of the Fire God for the time being, isn't that so?"
Huoyan lowered his head slightly, and after a while, he nodded, "That's right." ”
Lu Chen said: "At the same time, you can also see that I am a human race, and I am not the same as you, but you are still weighing it, even if you have to face a lot of opposition and doubt, you finally choose to believe me and ask me to help you, right?"
Huoyan took a deep breath, his face became a little solemn, and after a while, he said, "Yes." ”
Lu Chen said lightly: "Then you should also understand that as a human race, I have no interest in your clan or everything in the Southern Xinjiang Wasteland. I'm here only to know from you a way back north, and I can only do that by helping your clan get back strong. So I can only help you, and you don't have to doubt me about that. ”
"But other than that, what I do in the future will definitely not be exactly the same as you expected, if it is really for the prosperity of the Black Fire Clan, you have to give me a promise now, can you completely trust me?
Huoyan was silent, and after a while, he whispered: "All the barbarians in the wasteland believe in gods and worship the ancestors of their tribes, only you are not ......"
Lu Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "You're right. ”
Huoyan suddenly became a little excited, his face was a little red, he took a step forward, and said, "I didn't ask you to do anything excessive, it's, it's just ......."
Speaking of this, he was dumbfounded for a moment, as if he didn't know how to continue.
Lu Chen took over his words and said, "Don't do anything out of the ordinary, don't do something that you can't accept, or all kinds of other things that you barbarians can't get used to?"
Huoyan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "The rules of the wasteland, every barbarian must follow!"
"But I'm not a barbarian!"
※※※
The two men looked at each other, their eyes bright and each as sharp as a knife blade, and there seemed to be a spark in the snow.
However, since ancient times, the truth that silence does not solve all problems has been the first to come to fruition. After a while, Huoyan said, "Then what are you going to do? I can't really let you lead the Black Fire Clan to an irreparable situation?"
Lu Chen said: "I don't know what I'm going to do, but, you have to figure it out, I don't know what your Black Fire Clan should do if you want to prosper again, and what will you face......?"
He looked at the fire rock steadily, suddenly smiled, and then said calmly, "Actually, I have always had a question I want to ask you." ”
"What?"
"You are the most powerful barbarian I have ever seen since I came to the Southern Frontier Wasteland, and your knowledge and determination are very good, but in terms of your own knowledge, if everything is according to the rules you said and you can't do things out of the ordinary, even if your tribe adds a normal priest to it, how much is the possibility that the Black Fire tribe will truly recover and become strong and restore to the incomparably powerful state of the past?"
Huoyan's body shuddered suddenly, as if he had been shocked by electricity, and then he fell silent again......
After a long time, his voice seemed unusually jerky, but he still gritted his teeth and said little by little: "It's impossible to ......"
"It's too difficult, it's okay for other tribes to have no priests, the tribes with priests are already strong, almost not weaker than our black fire, even if you get the gift of the fire god is more powerful than ordinary priests, but further away, there are those most powerful tribes in the wasteland, and those shamans......"
When Huoyan spat out the word "shaman" from his mouth, Lu Chen saw fear and awe in his eyes, perhaps this is the innate belief of all barbarians in the wasteland.
Then Lu Chen laughed, he walked over, patted the tall and burly barbarian on the shoulder, and said in a gentle tone: "Since that's the case, then you might as well let me try it, although it's still difficult and difficult, but what if there is a little hope of success?"
"You see, after all, we all have the same desire, you want your clan to be strong, and I want to go back to the north. Even if there's anything unusual on this road, it doesn't matter, right?"
"What do you say?" Lu Chen said to Huoyan with a smile.
Huoyan was silent for a long time, with all kinds of complicated expressions on his face, but in the end, he finally nodded slowly and heavily.
"You...... That's right. He said in a deep voice.
