The food that was originally stored in this mysterious tree hole had been depleted when they fell into the Longchuan. After they came out, they were already in the Southern Wilderness. These days, because the places they passed by were very barren and barren, Lu Chen did not replenish anything.
As a result, Lu Chen and Atsu could not stay here for too long. Fortunately, the wolves would not understand the reason for their sudden disappearance, so they would not stay around the seed for too long.
But no matter what, it was better to wait a little longer. It would probably be safer. Lu Chen thought to himself. For the past ten years, he had tried his best to hide the secret of this seed and there had not been any accidents. But after he got close to the Chaotic Lands, especially during this period of time, things happened one after another. The last time he fell into the Longchuan, this time he was forced by the wolves. He was almost in a state where he could not control the dangers of the outside world.
This was a very disgusting feeling for Lu Chen. He thought to himself that he should avoid this kind of thing as much as possible in the future.
Waiting was a dull and boring thing, especially in this mysterious tree hole that was not too big. There was nowhere to go and nowhere to look. It was very stressful.
If an ordinary person came here, they would probably feel the passage of time become blurred.
But Lu Chen had already gotten used to the atmosphere here after so many years, so he did not feel anything strange.
As for Atsu, even though this dog had advanced to become a Holy Beast, it still looked as carefree as before. As long as there was food to eat, it would not care about anything. In any case, it just ate and slept, and ate again when it woke up. Occasionally, it would play with Lu Chen.
But the terrible thing was that there was no food here. So, although Atsu seemed to be in a normal mood, no one knew what would happen when it was hungry. When Lu Chen thought of this, he could not help but look suspiciously at the black dog lying beside him. He muttered, "You stupid dog, when you're really hungry, you won't go crazy and eat me, will you?"
It was unknown whether Atsu heard Lu Chen's words clearly. It lay on the ground and yawned loudly, looking a little sleepy.
Lu Chen glared at it, then casually picked up the Vulcan Staff that had been thrown to the side. Although he had not activated the spiritual power of the Black Flames and the Vulcan Staff did not shine, the strange and twisted totem runes on the staff could still be clearly seen.
It should represent another power that was completely different from the human cultivation world of the Divine Central Continent. Many years ago, this power had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Human Race, and to this day, most human cultivators despised the Barbarians. But Lu Chen had personally experienced the power of the Black Flames, and was also one of the few people who had seen the power of the Southern Border Barbarians. From the bottom of his heart, he was actually in awe of this power.
He stroked the Fire God's Staff and pondered silently. At a certain moment, he suddenly thought of the Fire Shaman he met ten years ago.
That old Shaman had given him ten years of painful experiences that were worse than death. Until death, it was difficult for Lu Chen to forget him. But there was no doubt that the Fire Shaman was unusually powerful. But why did he not bring the Vulcan Staff with him in the battle of the Barren Valley?
Wasn't the Vulcan Staff the artifact of the Black Fire Tribe? Why did the Fire Shaman not bring such an important thing at such an important moment? Instead, more than ten years after his death, Lu Chen accidentally found this thing in a small tribe that had already been weakened to the extreme.
Was it because the Fire Shaman was too confident in his power and did not bring it with him? Or was it because the Vulcan Staff was too important and did not want to take the risk of bringing it out of the tribe? Or did he simply feel that it was not safe for him to lead the elites away from the tribe, so he left the artifact behind to protect the tribe?
Lu Chen pondered for a long time, his gaze sweeping over the unconscious Huo Yan who was soaking in the water. He felt that there were too many mysteries surrounding the past events of the Disorienting Lands. The Black Fire Barbarian Tribe also seemed to be unfathomable, and he did not know what their relationship was with the Fire God that he did not know was real or fake.
If it was really as Huo Yan said, that the entire Black Fire Tribe worshiped the Fire God, then with the identity, status and power of the Fire Shaman, why did he abandon the Fire God and instead join forces with the Demon Cult of the Human Race?
All these things were like scattered pearls, but on his way to the Southern Wilderness this time, he seemed to vaguely feel that there was an invisible thread slowly linking everything together.
The truth hidden behind the layer of fog seemed to be vaguely revealed.
Lu Chen waited for a long time until Atsu began to faintly become restless and looked around for food. Only then did he stand up.
There was no change in Huo Yan who was soaking in the water, and he still looked unconscious. Lu Chen walked over to check his breathing, and then checked his physical condition. Indeed, there was no change.
"Let's go, we're going out." Lu Chen turned and called Atsu over. He then shrugged and said, "I hope our luck isn't too bad."
…
"Boom!" A light flashed, and three figures appeared out of thin air, then fell to the ground.
After the initial wave of dizziness, Lu Chen quickly recovered and then turned over and jumped up. But he only felt the surrounding sand and soil swarming over him.
In the chaos, he couldn't see his surroundings clearly. Lu Chen was still shocked. He thought to himself, "Did this seed fall into some kind of underground sand pit?"
Fortunately, after a while, the surrounding sand and soil stopped falling. Even so, two people and a dog were still covered in dust, looking particularly embarrassed.
When the smoke and dust gradually settled, Lu Chen discovered that the three of them were knee-deep in a sand pit. There was no trace of the terrifying wolf pack in the surroundings.
Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He looked around and found that the place was somewhat familiar. It seemed to be the place where the wolf pack had caught up to them. It seemed that during this period of time, no one had discovered the secret of this seed, so no one noticed it when it fell to the ground.
He hurriedly pulled Huo Yan up. Now that they were out of the tree hole, Huo Yan seemed to have returned to normal. There was no longer any protruding eyes or boiling blood.
After about the time to drink a cup of tea, Huo Yan suddenly let out a long low groan, and then slowly woke up.
Lu Chen stood to the side and looked at him. He saw that Huo Yan's expression was somewhat dazed, as if he hadn't completely woken up.
After a while, Huo Yan turned his head and looked at Lu Chen. His eyes went from scattered to focused, and after staring at him for a while, Huo Yan suddenly opened his mouth and said with some surprise, "Where are we now?"
"Still in the same place." Lu Chen said, "But don't worry, the wolf pack has already left."
Huo Yan nodded, and his expression seemed to have relaxed a little. It was obvious that he, as a barbarian, was much more afraid of the wolf pack than Lu Chen.
He stood up and patted the dust off his body. He let out a long sigh, and there was some joy on his face. No matter what, being able to escape was always a good thing.
After tidying up, Lu Chen felt his trousers being dragged a few times. He looked down and saw that it was Atsu coming over and biting him. He couldn't help but laugh and nodded, "Got it, we'll go find something to eat."
Atsu was instantly happy. Huo Yan, who was at the side, was startled. He looked at Lu Chen and said, "How long have we been here?"
Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "I'm not sure, but it should be a long time."
Huo Yan nodded, and looked up to identify the direction. He then pointed in a direction and said to Lu Chen, "Let's go that way."
Lu Chen agreed and followed with Atsu. After walking for a while, he heard Huo Yan suddenly say, "Lu Chen, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Lu Chen said, "What do you want to hear?"
Huo Yan hesitated for a while and said, "That … strange place? It seems to be a cave? "
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "What, you don't remember?"
Huo Yan said with some distress, "I only remember that I seemed to have followed you into a cave. I don't remember anything else. Also, my whole body felt uncomfortable very quickly and I fainted. When I woke up again, it was already now."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "That's for the best. Actually, that's not important. You just need to remember that I did save your life."
Huo Yan nodded silently. After walking for a while, he suddenly asked, "Was that a divine weapon given to you by the Fire God, or some kind of ability?"
"That has nothing to do with your Fire God!" Lu Chen replied resolutely.
"Oh …" Huo Yan sighed and looked a little disappointed.
Lu Chen snorted and turned his head. His face was expressionless, but deep in his heart, he suddenly became silent. After a while, he thought to himself, whether this seed has anything to do with the Fire God or not, it probably has a deep relationship with the Black Fire tribe.
