Snatch a priest back?
Many of the barbarians who heard Huo Yan's words did not understand. Their faces were filled with astonishment and confusion. But soon, the expressions of the two barbarian leaders who stood at the front changed drastically. Their gazes immediately landed on Lu Chen who was standing behind Huo Yan.
In the Southern Wilderness, for every tribe, the people who mastered the power of witchcraft were the source of the tribe's prosperity. However, there were only a very small number of people who could perceive the incomparably chaotic spiritual power and use a special method to cultivate witchcraft. These people were known as priests. And among the priests, those who stood at the peak and were able to grasp the source of the spiritual energy of the Southern Territory were called Shamans.
Any tribe that lost a priest would not be able to maintain its prosperity. This was not only because of the weakening of the tribe's power, but also because the priest was often the wisest person in the tribe. For many years, shamans and priests had always guided the barbarian tribes of the Southern Wilderness.
The barbarians believed in and worshiped witchcraft, and revered shamans and priests.
Without the guidance of the priest, the tribe would eventually weaken, and they would fall into a predicament in the vast and harsh wilderness. Without the guidance of the priest's witchcraft and wisdom, the only thing they could rely on was the flesh and courage of the warriors in the tribe. However, these things were extremely fragile in the face of great power.
A few years ago, the Mountain Spirit Tribe was like the other four tribes. They didn't have a priest and struggled in the lower world of the wilderness. However, once they were influenced by a priest, the strength of the Mountain Spirit Tribe rapidly expanded. Today, they could even fight against four people alone.
The power of worship and belief of the Black Fire Tribe had indeed appeared before. After the chief Ghost Eye explained, the other two tribal chiefs immediately understood. But understanding was one thing, but they still looked at Lu Chen in disbelief.
That was a human!
In the long history of the Southern Wilderness, there had never been a non-barbarian priest or shaman.
But … no one had ever said that the priest and shaman couldn't be a foreigner.
A human was going to become a priest of the barbarian tribe?
The few leaders and the barbarian warriors behind them, who were starting to understand the situation, even the barbarian warriors of the Black Fire Tribe, all had their mouths wide open in shock.
…
Lu Chen had also heard it himself. After understanding the meaning behind this matter, even though his temperament was much calmer than an ordinary person, he could not help but be greatly shocked. His gaze landed on the back of the abnormally tall and sturdy Huo Yan.
Obviously, this chief warrior of the Black Fire Tribe had thought of all these in a short period of time. Then, he decided to use all the warriors of the Black Fire Tribe to fight against the other three tribes without any hesitation. Even Lu Chen himself felt that it was a little inconceivable.
At this moment, Huo Yan, who was being stared at by everyone, had a serious expression on his face. However, his expression was firm and he had no intention of backing down. He only said in a low voice, "Whether he is a priest or not, I don't know. This is up to the Black Fire Tribe's chief to decide. But what appeared just now was the power of the Fire God of our Black Fire Tribe. No matter what, I must bring this person back. Whether he lives or dies will be decided by the chief. "
The other three tribes looked at each other, and the chiefs frowned. At the same time, the barbarian warriors seemed to have unknowingly spread out, gradually surrounding the Black Fire Tribe.
Huo Yan's expression became even colder. He stared at the three chiefs and shouted, "Do you really want to fight to the death with the Black Fire Tribe?"
The three barbarian chiefs also looked hesitant. They looked at each other, then walked together and began to discuss in low voices.
Actually, based on their current strength, none of the tribes had any priests. With three tribes against one, the Black Fire Tribe would definitely have the upper hand. But if the Black Fire Tribe fought to the death, the three tribes would inevitably suffer some additional losses.
The life of every barbarian warrior was precious. Although they could fight to the death for the tribe, as a chief, they could not easily waste the lives of the warriors under them. Otherwise, the great ancestors of the tribe would curse them, and they would forever be despised by the tribe, and their souls would never be able to return to peace.
While the other three tribes were discussing, the atmosphere between the barbarian warriors suddenly became even more tense.
Although Huo Yan's attitude seemed to be abnormally firm, in fact, his forehead and back were faintly covered in cold sweat. He only felt that his heart was abnormally heavy, as if there was a huge stone pressing down on it.
Although the warriors of the Black Fire Tribe would not question his decision, he himself had to think more. Was it really worth it for such a human?
"Cough, cough, cough …"
Just when the atmosphere was a little stiff, Huo Yan suddenly heard a light cough coming from behind him. The sound sounded a little strange.
Huo Yan was startled for a moment. He turned around and saw that it was Lu Chen looking at him and giving him a look.
Huo Yan was silent for a moment, then quietly took two steps back and came to Lu Chen's side. His body was considered tall and burly among the barbarian warriors. At this moment, when Lu Chen stood beside him, he looked like a child who had just grown up. Huo Yan lowered his voice, his expression slightly strange and complicated. He said in a low voice, "What do you want?"
Lu Chen glanced at him and said, "Tell them that as long as they let us go, they will hand over all the treasures that you have plundered."
Huo Yan's expression suddenly changed, and a murderous aura instantly leaked out. He could not help but take a step towards Lu Chen. Some of the warriors of the Black Fire Tribe who were closer also suddenly became furious. In an instant, several weapons were pointed at Lu Chen.
It seemed that there was no need for the three tribes to do anything. Just based on what he said just now, the people of the Black Fire Tribe couldn't wait to get rid of this fraud who might have the power of their tribe's Fire God.
Towards the murderous aura around him, Lu Chen did not seem to feel it. His eyes only stared at Huo Yan. After a moment, he said coldly, "You want the power of the priest, so you don't believe my words?"
Huo Yan angrily growled, "These things were exchanged with the lives of my warriors. Why should I hand them over?"
"You value this very much?"
"Of course!"
"Do the three tribes value it?"
"Of course."
"Then you throw all these things to their warriors. If one tribe has more, another tribe has less, and one tribe doesn't give anything at all, what do you think the consequences will be?"
Huo Yan was just about to angrily speak, but suddenly, his body fiercely shook. Immediately after, his eyes slowly widened. Looking at Lu Chen, a trace of shock and a complicated expression appeared in his eyes. That look, it was as if he had suddenly seen a ghost …
Lu Chen sighed and softly said to Huo Yan, "Do you know what the priest's power is other than witchcraft?"
Huo Yan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned around. His entire face seemed to be on fire, burning brightly. After letting out a low roar, he shouted to the surrounding warriors, "Hand over all the things that you have just plundered!"
