There was a silence in the priest's stone house. For a long time, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became a little stiff and cold.

After a while, Lu Chen suddenly spoke, "Why are you suddenly not anxious?"

"Hmm?" Huo Yan raised his eyes and looked at him.

Lu Chen looked at the barbarian and said, "All the person who is most anxious to restore the glory of the Black Fire Tribe is yourself? For this reason, you are unwilling to wait a few more years, and you did not start doing things when you officially became the leader of the clan. Why, now you suddenly want to calm down again?"

Huo Yan was silent for a moment and said, "You are right. I was indeed extremely anxious in my heart. On the wasteland, a barbarian's lifespan will not be too long, unless it is a priest and shaman with powerful witchcraft, but I don't. I am not afraid of death, I am afraid that I will still achieve nothing before I die, and the Black Fire Tribe still looks like a half-dead person."

Lu Chen nodded and said, "I understand your intentions, but why did my mind suddenly change? If I read correctly, before this war, there were many people in the Black Fire Tribe who suspected you, and some people questioned that you were too radical in this way. But after we defeated the Thunder Lizard Tribe and unified the north, the entire Black Fire Tribe had already been worshipped at your feet and was convinced by you. There were even many young barbarian warriors screaming. What I hope most all day was to follow you south to fight with those southern tribes, right?"

"The time, place, and people are all here now. Why have you changed your mind?" Lu Chen asked staring at him.

"Is it really all on our side?" Huo Yan suddenly asked back.

Lu Chen's face remained unchanged and he said lightly: "Isn't it?"

Huo Yan snorted, leaned back, leaned against the wall, and said slowly: "We barbarians are more brave and simple in mind. Whenever we see things, we will only think of some simple things. Except for those priests and shamans who are high above like gods, ordinary people cannot see the long term."

"After defeating the Thunder Lizard tribe, I was also ecstatic and ambitious to go south. But these days, every late at night, I often can't sleep." He gestured to Lu Chen, pointed at his fingers, and pointed at his heart. He didn't know what it meant, but finally sighed, his expression was a little desolate and confused, and said, "I didn't know why at the beginning, so I thought hard. After thinking for a long time, I suddenly realized that the Black Fire Tribe could no longer rush like this."

"Our Black Fire Tribe has been in decline for many years. No matter how profound and connotation is, it is just a small tribe. Its strength is just like that, even if you are too priest. We sweep across the wasteland, not that we are too strong, but that the other four tribes are too weak; we can do this simply because this area is too barren, and the strong tribes in the south look down on them at all and are too lazy to care about them."

"If we don't overestimate our ability to continue moving south, then the fate waiting for us will be broken into pieces, right?"

Huoyan slowly lowered his head and gritted his teeth hard: "I will not say these words to any other tribe. They don't understand them even if they say them. Maybe they will have a strange intention to me. You are the only one who can understand me, right?"

Lu Chen looked at the barbarian coldly, his eyes gradually getting colder, staring at him like a cold frost sword emitting cold air. After a while, he nodded slowly and said, "You are right."

Huo Yan looked at him, and his eyes also had a bit of coldness and complex emotions, but his voice was still calm, saying, "I think you are the smartest person I have ever seen in my life. You must have thought of these things long ago. But I'm very surprised now. You clearly know this truth, why don't you tell me?"

He stared at him, his voice lowered, like a wild beast full of wariness and murderous aura, hiding in the darkness and about to pounce: "Or, in fact, you just want to watch our Black Fire Tribe rushing south like a fool, and then dooming it?"

The stone house was quiet, and the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed to be about to solidify.

The two men looked at each other in the darkness. After a while, Lu Chen slowly spoke, saying, "You are smarter and calmer than I think. I am hesitating now, maybe I want to try to kill you."

Ye Zi, who was standing outside the house, felt a little dry. Maybe he had been waiting here for too long.

On this day, the patriarch Huo Yan came to talk to the black-robed priest, but the time it took was particularly long. She had been waiting outside for a long time, but the dark room still had no reaction, as if no one was inside.

However, the trusted warriors brought by the Black Fire Guard and the clan leader Huo Yan who were alert outside the door were still standing there, showing that there were indeed two most powerful people in the Black Fire Tribe in the room, and they seemed to be still discussing something.

Ye Zi sat aside with a little boredness. For some reason, she suddenly remembered the situation when a black firework suddenly appeared in the hand of the black-robed priest a few days ago.

She remembered that at that time, she felt a severe pain in her lower abdomen, as if something was about to break out of her body, which was very terrible.

She also remembered that at the same time, the black-robed priest looked at her. After the initial surprise, the deep and bottomless look followed.

Until now, Ye Zi didn't know what happened that day, but she could still keenly feel that whenever the black-robed priest looked at her recently, there seemed to be something indescribable in his eyes.

She stretched out a palm and placed it in front of her. Compared with most tribal barbarians, her palms were relatively petite and fair, which was rare. However, when she was still in the old tribe, she was often whispered by the aunts and aunts in the tribe because of this, saying that she was not a good job at all, and she was not doing things well, and she probably wouldn't be able to serve her husband well in the future.

Ye Zi was also very ashamed and worried about this, but after so many years, he finally came here like this. Later, the Shenmu tribe was destroyed, so there was nothing to say about everything. But at this moment, she suddenly felt a sense of excitement in her heart. The mysterious black flame in the hands of the black-robed priest looked terrible, but it seemed to have an exciting power.

How great it would be if I had this power...

She waved her hand gently, tried to make various gestures in different ways, imagined strange scenes in her heart, and imagined that there might be a ball of black fire gushing out of her white palm.

Lu Chen suddenly turned around and glanced outside the house.

Huoyan saw his movements, frowned slightly, and said, "What's wrong?"

Lu Chen was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Nothing."

Huo Yan said "um" and said, "That's good. But you seemed to say just now, do you want to kill me?"

Lu Chen didn't mean to retreat. He even raised his head and looked straight at Huo Yan. After a moment, he suddenly laughed and said, "Yes."

Huoyan also laughed and said, "Can you kill me?"

Lu Chen said: "Maybe there is still a little possibility."

Huo Yan was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "You are a priest, so naturally I have methods that I don't know yet. I believe this. But first, I will never surrender. Secondly, it's not good for you to kill me, right?" He looked at Lu Chen deeply and said, "I thought that our relationship could probably be considered a kind of friend."

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "It's no benefit to kill you, but you are a man who can bend and stretch, have strong abilities, and have the ability to make decisive things. Not to mention that there are only barbarians, there are not many people like you who I have seen in the northern tribes in the past."

He looked at Huoyan and said quietly: "I'm a little scared now. You may not be a thing in the pool in the future. Once the storm meets, you may make a great achievement. If you are still in the southern wasteland, then it's okay. If you lead the army north, wouldn't our human race be poisoned by the army at that time?"

Huoyan looked at his eyes, with a firm and fearless look, and said, "You look down on me too highly, but I will do what I should do. And you can't kill me, do you still need that secret, right?"

"Maybe in a few years, I will die in this wasteland, maybe, what do you think?" Huo Yan smiled and said to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen nodded and said, "You are right. I want that secret. I want to leave here and go back to the north." After pausing, he said, "I won't kill you, and I will still help you."

Huoyan laughed and nodded.

Lu Chen looked at his smile, with no expression on his face, but said lightly: "If I didn't think well, you are temporarily dormant now, and you should just rectify and clear up the chaos inside the wasteland. Once these things are done and your strength is enough, you still have to go south, but fight with those strong tribes, right?"

"When the barbarians kill barbarians, the stronger you are before you become a climate, the more barbarians on the wasteland will die, right?" Lu Chen said to him.

Huo Yan's face suddenly became cold.

A smile appeared in Lu Chen's eyes, with a little coldness, but his expression became gentle, and he said, "Look, I can even do you a big favor."

Huoyan said coldly: "What is it?"

Lu Chen said leisurely: "Since ancient times, you ordinary barbarians have probably been crawling at the feet of your priests and shamans. If I tell you, there is actually a way to let you control them..."

Huo Yanran stood up suddenly, with an incredible light in his eyes, staring at Lu Chen, and even his voice trembled a little suddenly, saying, "You, what did you say?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "As long as you agree to my conditions, I will teach you." (To be continued., Your support is my greatest motivation.) 17-03-20 04:21:31
