Chapter 271: Fire Staff
Kid?
What to choose?
At that moment, Lu Chen really thought that he had auditory hallucinations, could it be that there was some strange and unknown power in this place like a ghost domain, which could confuse the mind and confuse people's hearts?
The next moment, however, he looked into the eyes of the dying barbarian priest and suddenly realized that it didn't seem to be just a joke. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe old man's eyes, though a little dark, kept staring at him, staring at him.
There was surprise, sadness, and anger in those eyes, but more than that, joy and hope.
Yes, the old barbarian man, who was about to die, had hope in his eyes. His chapped lips moved, but no sound came out, not even a hoarse whimper.
Lu Chen's gaze moved down to look at it, and then his brows furrowed slightly, because the part below the old priest's head, his chest and torso had almost completely exploded, and even the neck was a blur of flesh and blood, which looked extremely tragic at a glance, and it was basically impossible to make a sound.
Sure enough, it's my soft-hearted heart for a while, so I have auditory hallucinations...... Lu Chen sighed slightly in his heart, shook his head and stretched out his hand to the old priest's eyes, wanting to close his eyes. However, at this moment, suddenly another voice called in his ear: "Child......"
Lu Chen's hand stiffened instantly, and then slowly stepped back, once again letting go of the old priest's gaze, he was staring at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen had encountered many strange things in his life, but at this moment, he was still a little chilling in his heart, he stared at the old priest's eyes that were about to run out of oil but refused to die, and said in a low voice: "You called me?"
The old priest's eyes closed slowly, slowly, and then opened again.
Lu Chen's pupils shrank suddenly, his eyes flickered, he suddenly looked down, swept over the old priest's body, and after a while, he suddenly stretched out his hand and swept it, only to hear a loud sound, and the black wood that was originally held on the old priest's chest but had been torn apart suddenly turned into a dozen pieces of large and small wood and fell, revealing another old wooden staff that was originally hidden in the black wood and looked like only half of it.
It really looked like a very old wooden staff, but for some reason one end was broken, and the remaining half was covered with cracks, and the wood was like bronze, as if it had been weathered and eroded for millions of years. The old priest's only arm, which was still intact, was clinging tightly to the half of the staff.
An extremely faint spiritual power seemed to be emanating from the wooden staff.

Lu Chen fell silent, and after a while, his eyes moved away from the ancient half-cut wooden staff and looked at the old priest again.
The old priest looked at him too, still with that complicated but obviously hopeful look in his eyes. Lu Chen suddenly shook his head and said, "Are you confused?"
The old priest was silent, or couldn't speak at all, and only looked at Lu Chen in a daze, but at the same time, the voice suddenly sounded in Lu Chen's ears again, and said, "The fire god chooses ......."
"What is the God of Fire?" Lu Chen said coldly on his face, "I don't know what this god is, and I don't believe that there are gods in this world." ”
"You are the son of the god of fire...... the voice seemed to ignore his response, still speaking in a tone that was indifferent and unheaving.
"I ......" Lu Chen was about to refute, but suddenly found that the other party didn't seem to have any intention of arguing with him at all, and still said to himself,
"Take this fire staff, send it back to the Southern Wilderness Holy Altar, and merge it with the other half of the fire staff to return to ...... Still...... Fire...... God ......"
When the last few words were spoken, the voice appeared for the first time with a noticeable trill, as if it was at this time excited.
And Lu Chen looked at the old priest's expression at the same time, and suddenly his muscles twisted in the dimness of the oil lamp.
Lu Chen took a deep breath and shook his head, but suddenly smiled.
There was a bloody scene around him, and at a glance it seemed that he was the only one left who was still intact, as if he was independent of the sea of blood, but there was a look of ridicule and self-deprecation in his eyes.
"That Vulcan of yours is really looking for someone. Lu Chen said, "First, he didn't choose you barbarians, and second, even if he chose the human race, he chose a lost dog that was not allowed in the world and could only die at the end of the world." ”
"The Vulcan doesn't have a good eye. Lu Chen looked at the dying old man and said, and then accentuated his tone in the last few words.
The light in the old priest's eyes had gradually dimmed, and even his pupils were slowly dilating, but after the half of the ancient wooden staff flashed slightly, the voice sounded in Lu Chen's ears again, and said, "That's why the Fire God chose you." ”
Lu Chen's body was shocked, and he suddenly froze.

The old priest didn't say anything more, and after a few moments he died quietly, stopping his breathing, closing his eyes, and even a strange smile on his lips before he died.
Lu Chen stared at this old barbarian who had died, his eyes were a little unkind, he always felt that there was deep malice hidden in this person's face, but the hope revealed before he died was extremely real.
But what did the barbarian's hopes, the expectations or dreams of this old priest whom he had never met, have to do with himself?
Lu Chen stood up expressionlessly, and was about to leave here, but then he remembered something, and his gaze fell back on the old priest's corpse again. The half-old wooden staff was still tightly grasped in his hand.
Lu Chen stared at the wooden staff for a while, but still stretched out his hand to pick it up. Although the old priest was dead, his palm was still very firm on the wooden staff, and it took Lu Chen a little effort to take the wooden staff out of his hand.
However, after starting it, to be exact, after leaving the old priest's grasp, the last faint bit of spiritual power on this ancient wooden staff also disappeared.
The wooden staff, which had lost all its spiritual power, looked like a scarred, old and mottled old wood, lifeless, withered and cracked, and no one would look at it even if it was thrown on the side of the road.
Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, and tried to input spiritual power into the wooden staff, but the wooden staff had no response, Lu Chen pondered for a moment, and tried to carry the black fire again, but still did not see the scene he wanted.
The ancient wooden staff also lost its reaction to the black fire.
The reason why Lu Chen wanted this thing was that he had discovered that this wooden staff could resonate with the black fire in his body, but when he actually got it, it suddenly became a waste, which made him feel depressed.
But since this is the time, it can't be thrown away casually, anyway, listening to what the old priest said, this thing seems to be of great origin. (To be continued.) )
