"Divine Wood Tribe?"
Huo Yan and Lu Chen glanced at each other, but didn't say anything.
The two walked into the cave, and after passing through a narrow passageway, the front suddenly opened up to reveal an extremely spacious cave. At the same time, there were several torches lit, but it didn't make people feel suffocated. It was obvious that there was another unobstructed vent.
Most of the people of the Black Fire Tribe were gathered here. Hearing the sound of footsteps, someone turned around and immediately saw the tall and sturdy Huo Yan, and immediately cried out in surprise.
This movement quickly alerted the other people. Especially those tall and strong barbarian warriors in the crowd. They gathered around Ye Xiwen one after another. Their faces were filled with pleasant surprise.
Huo Yan walked over, bumping chests and clapping with these warriors. His voice was deep and powerful, and the surrounding people all showed their respect and submission to him.
Lu Chen clearly saw this from the side, and could feel that Huo Yan indeed had great prestige in this tribe. Previously, when the Black Fire Tribe was ambushed by the Divine Wood Tribe, although they suffered a great loss and even lost their camp, on the way back, the tribe's vitality was not damaged, and the elite warriors were almost all alive. In this kind of situation, if Huo Yan was also in the tribe, with his command, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.
It was clear that Lu Chen was not the only one who had such thoughts. Many of the Barbarian warriors had also mentioned this matter to Huo Yan when he walked past them. Their faces were filled with anger and unwillingness.
Huo Yan silently nodded, but didn't say anything, and just continued walking forward.
And Lu Chen, who had been following behind Huo Yan, also attracted many strange gazes. But after the previous incident at the Black Fire Tribe's camp, these Barbarians looked at Lu Chen with a much more relaxed gaze.
Walking through the crowd and into the depths of the cave, he saw two people coming from behind the crowd. They were Huo Yan's two relatives. His son, Huo Ying, was supporting the current chief of the Black Fire Tribe, who was also his father, Huo Hu.
"Father." Huo Yan walked in front of Huo Hu and called out.
Flaming Tiger looked at his son, and a trace of gratification flashed across his face. He nodded and said, "It's good that you're back."
As he spoke, his gaze swept past Huo Yan's back. When he saw Lu Chen and the intact Fire God's Staff in his hand, he seemed to be startled for a moment. At the same time, a haze flashed across the depths of his eyes.
…
Huo Yan's return made the people of the Black Fire tribe happy and excited. The atmosphere in the tribe was obviously much higher. Many people cast their gazes over. Although they didn't shout or shout, there was still a very strong and obvious expectation.
As for what this expectation was, it was self-evident.
However, no matter what it was, the core members of the clan had to sit down and discuss it. Basically, it was Huo Yan's family.
As one of the privileges of the Patriarch, Flaming Tiger occupied the best and driest place in this underground cave. The people around him automatically moved aside, and with the help of the Fire Hawk, Flaming Tiger sat down again. He seemed to be panting a little.
Huo Yan frowned and also sat down in front of the two of them. He looked at his father with a trace of worry on his face and said, "Father, are you alright?"
Flaming Tiger forced a smile and said, "That day when we were running for our lives, I was tired for a while. I'm much better now."
Then, his gaze turned to the person beside Huo Yan. As if he didn't care about the surprised and complicated gazes of the surrounding Black Fire tribe members, he directly sat down beside Huo Yan and openly joined the discussion of the highest core members of the Black Fire tribe, Lu Chen.
Flaming Tiger's expression was a little unhappy, but Huo Yan seemed to ignore it. Moreover, he felt that Lu Chen sitting down was a matter of course.
However, this infuriated another hot-tempered youth. Flaming Eagle stood up and said angrily, "What right does this damned human have to sit here? Do you believe that I won't kill you with one strike?"
Lu Chen's expression was indifferent. There was no joy or sorrow on his face. He only glanced at the angry brute youth and didn't say anything.
Meanwhile, Huo Yan, who was sitting beside Lu Chen, said in a low voice, "Flaming Eagle, sit down!"
Flaming Eagle seemed to be somewhat afraid of his father. Although his anger didn't decrease after hearing this, he still sat down hatefully. However, he still stayed close to his grandfather, Flaming Tiger, and faintly felt that he was confronting his father, Huo Yan.
Flaming Tiger looked coldly at the two people in front of him. A barbarian and a human, just sitting together like this, as if there was no gap between them, and their calm and composed appearance made him feel that it was particularly irritating.
He looked at Huo Yan and said, "What's going on? Tell me."
Huo Yan didn't beat around the bush and said straightforwardly, "These days, I brought Lu Chen to the Fire God's Altar. In the holy land of the altar, Lu Chen has already received the recognition and blessing of the Fire God, and obtained the great power of the God's inheritance. Now, he is the priest of our Black Fire Tribe, and in the future, he will guide our tribe to rise and become strong again! "
He didn't deliberately lower his voice. When he said these words in a loud and clear voice, apart from Flaming Tiger and Flaming Eagle, many of the surrounding barbarians of the Black Fire Tribe who were paying attention to what was happening heard at the same time. Suddenly, there was an uproar.
Everyone's faces were filled with astonishment, and it was obvious that they couldn't accept this result for a moment.
"Impossible!" Flaming Eagle was the first to roar, and once again stood up suddenly.
Huo Yan also stood up, but he didn't make any move against his son in front of him. He only glanced at him, and then turned around to look at the surroundings. Facing the gazes of the many clansmen, he said in a clear voice, "The long lost divine weapon, the Fire God's Staff, has now been reunited in the hands of Lu Chen. This is the best proof that the Fire God has recognized him!"
There was another round of clamor and discussion, but it quickly quieted down. Most of the Black Fire clansmen still had expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces, but when they looked at Lu Chen, there was an inexplicable sense of intimacy in their gazes.
'Is that the person chosen by the supreme Fire God?'
As if responding to Huo Yan's words, the Fire God Scepter suddenly flickered and brightened. A dazzling brilliance lit up from the scepter. It was as dazzling as the sun, causing one to feel reverence when looking at it.
After a while, suddenly from the dazzling brilliance, a ball of flame suddenly soared up, rushed into the air, burned fiercely, the entire cave people felt a wave of heat instantly hit their faces, and the ancient aura contained in it, was even more powerful to the point that it made people tremble.
In an instant, under the deep-rooted worship and reverence, almost all of the Black Fire Tribe members knelt down. Their eyes were brimming with tears, and they bowed respectfully, cheering and praising the Fire God.
Huo Hu and Huo Ying, on the other hand, had expressions of shock on their faces. They did not kneel down, but neither did they reprimand him.
On the contrary, Huo Yan, who was standing at the side, had a strange expression on his face. He looked at the Fire God's Staff, as if he wanted to say something, but stopped himself.
This conversation did not reach any conclusion, and ended because of the Fire God's Staff's radiance. Although Lu Chen's identity was a little strange, in the Black Fire Tribe, the Fire God was an overwhelming power, not to mention that he had the support of the tribe's chief warrior, Huo Yan.
It was also from this day onwards that Lu Chen officially made his debut in the Black Fire Tribe.
However, when they left, Huo Yan and Lu Chen walked side by side. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one nearby, Huo Yan lowered his voice and asked Lu Chen, "I say, among the power passed down by the Fire God, isn't the most powerful Black Fire?"
Lu Chen smiled as he looked to his left and right, his expression unchanged. He also lowered his voice and said, "You're right."
"Then why did you suddenly create that flashy but impractical white light?"
"Because this is the best way to deceive these idiots. If you use Black Fire, they might not even understand," Lu Chen said.
Huo Yan was furious, but then his expression stiffened and he fell silent. After a long while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly. He sighed and did not say anything else.
…
After Huo Yan returned to the tribe, many people in the Black Fire Tribe seemed to have suddenly found a pillar of support, and their spirits rose.
This was especially obvious among the Barbarian warriors. Many of them could feel it, including the Patriarch of the Barbarian Race, Huo Hu.
And since Huo Yan had returned, the most important thing was to understand the matter of the Divine Wood Tribe's sneak attack, and how to respond. In fact, the most important person to respond to this matter should be the chief, but the atmosphere in the Black Fire Tribe seemed to be a little strange. Huo Yan's question seemed to be a matter of course, and the people beside him did not object.
The beginning and the course of this matter were quickly laid out in front of Huo Yan and Lu Chen. The matter was not complicated. The situation was that one day, the Divine Wood Tribe suddenly took advantage of the darkness to launch a sneak attack on the Black Fire Camp. There was no warning beforehand, and there was almost no conflict between the two tribes. The people of the Black Fire Tribe did not expect the Divine Wood Tribe to make such a move, so they were caught unprepared.
However, among the five tribes of the wasteland, the Black Fire Tribe's warriors had always been at the highest level. It was just that the tribe did not have the most people, so their overall strength was only in the middle. The Divine Wood Tribe had many people, but the battle strength of their warriors could not compare to that of the Black Fire Tribe. So after this battle, although the Black Fire Tribe was defeated, their losses were not great. But in the end, they had lost their base, and it was still a very embarrassing matter.
Huo Yan listened to this matter with a sullen face. There were a few tribal warriors who reported this matter, including Iron Bear, whom Lu Chen had seen before, and Black Bull, whom he had seen outside the passage. Seeing how close they were to Huo Yan, it was obvious that they were Huo Yan's trusted aides.
After listening, Huo Yan looked at these people with a cold face. These strong barbarian warriors looked at each other, all of them looking a little embarrassed.
Huo Yan snorted coldly and said, "The warriors of the Divine Wood Tribe are all trash. You were actually chased here by those trash. After everything was settled, why didn't you rush back and chop them to death?"
The abnormally tall and sturdy Iron Bear raised his eyes and said, "We also thought about it."
"Oh?" It was Lu Chen who interrupted and asked calmly, "From what you're saying, someone stopped you from taking revenge?"
Iron Bear curled his lips and glanced at Lu Chen. "That's right."
