The white bone mask in Lu Chen's hand wasn't the skull of a human. Although the barbarians worshipped their ancestors, it was common for them to preserve the remains of their ancestors and worship them. However, the thing in Lu Chen's hand had two horns, and the shape of its face was completely different from that of a barbarian. It seemed more like an unknown demon beast.
Something that could be enshrined on the altar in the middle of a tribe's camp could be considered rather important to a barbarian tribe. However, Lu Chen couldn't tell the origin of this white bone mask. When he held it in his hand, it didn't feel rough at all. Instead, he felt a warm radiance from the tip of his finger.
It seemed that after a long period of time, the material of the White Bone Mask had quietly changed. It was now almost like jade. Even though the shape of the mask was still a little scary, Lu Chen could no longer feel the dense aura of death from it.
He played with the white bone mask for a while, then held it in his hand and walked back.
At the same time, Huo Yan's voice was still echoing, and it quickly caused an uproar among the captives of the Divine Wood tribe.
Huo Yan explained his intentions very simply to everyone. He gave them two choices: One, give up your original worship, throw away everything, and join the Black Fire tribe, becoming a part of the Black Fire tribe.
The second choice, was death.
Of course, this was the idea that Lu Chen had proposed to Huo Yan, and he had tried his best to convince him to carry it out. However, even though Huo Yan trusted Lu Chen, he was still very skeptical of this idea. And it wasn't just Huo Yan. Even the barbarian warriors like Iron Bear and Black Bull all shook their heads when they heard of this idea.
To a Barbarian tribe, there was nothing more important than the gods and ancestors they worshiped. To overthrow all of this and make them submit to a tribe might be even more difficult than killing them.
Huo Yan and the others did not believe that this method would succeed, but Lu Chen insisted on trying. As for the reason, the others did not know, and probably only Huo Yan knew.
What Lu Chen wanted was to use the fastest, fiercest, and most direct method to increase the strength of the Black Fire tribe. The biggest problem in front of them was that the population of the Black Fire tribe was too small. If they wanted to return to the peak of their power, they would need to increase their population by at least ten times.
Lu Chen did not have the patience to wait, and Huo Yan did not want to wait any longer.
However, the reality was the reality. When Huo Yan told all the barbarians of the Divine Wood Tribe about this, there was a moment of astonishment and silence. Then, a loud clamor broke out. It was unknown how many barbarians were cursing and swearing. Their expressions were agitated as if they wanted to rush over and tear this enemy who had slandered their ancestors into pieces.
And in front of the crowd, the chief of the Divine Wood tribe roared angrily. with unknown strength, he actually jumped up from the ground, as if he wanted to rush over and die with Huo Yan.
But before he could get close, he was kicked away by the tall and burly Tie Xiong, who was standing next to Huo Yan, with a sneer.
"Bang!" The chief of the Divine Wood tribe rolled a few times on the ground like a gourd, his face covered in dirt for a moment.
Many Divine Wood Barbarians in the crowd looked agitated, and jumped up one after another, wanting to fight with their lives on the line. But the warriors of the Black Fire tribe standing at the side immediately suppressed them. Shouts, curses, and sounds of suppression filled the air. In the middle of the crowd, there were people who pulled out their swords and slashed a few times, causing blood to appear. After a while, the group of restless Barbarians were finally suppressed.
Although Huo Yan had already expected this situation, he still felt somewhat embarrassed. The veins on his forehead were throbbing, and he wished he could directly raise his sword and hack a few of them to death.
But at this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and pulled him back. Huo Yan turned around and saw the black-robed Lu Chen walking to his side.
"Don't worry." Lu Chen's voice sounded very calm.
Huo Yan snorted and said, "You have also seen the situation, what should we do now?"
Lu Chen lightly said, "Let me do it." He took a step forward, his eyes sweeping across the crowd in front of him. For a moment, almost everyone's eyes fell on him.
Many of the Divine Wood tribe's captives looked at the black-robed priest with eyes full of hatred and fear. After a moment, Lu Chen opened his mouth and said, "Drag out all the children and women under the age of eight."
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence.
After a moment, the Divine Wood tribe was filled with curses, while the warriors of the Black Fire tribe looked at each other in dismay. Many people's eyes uniformly looked at Huo Yan who was standing beside Lu Chen.
Lu Chen slightly turned around, also looking at Huo Yan.
Huo Yan hesitated for a moment, then suddenly clenched his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Listen to the priest!"
As soon as he gave the order, dozens of warriors of the Black Fire tribe rushed into the crowd like wolves and tigers, grabbing, pulling, dragging, and pulling. The Divine Wood tribe's crowd was immediately filled with cries and screams.
There was no lack of people who fought with their lives on the line, but under the powerful strength of the Black Fire tribe, the result of this resistance was just a few more corpses on the ground. Then, Lu Chen's order was completely carried out.
About half of the women and children in the crowd were captured and alone on the other side of the field. These people with the weakest battle strength looked to be shivering with fear on their faces. No one knew what the terrifying black-robed demon was going to do next.
But Lu Chen did not let them wait for too long. He quickly made everyone understand his thoughts.
… …
"These women and children, whether you like it or not, will become a part of the Black Fire tribe!" Lu Chen's cold and calm voice reverberated in the camp. Apart from that, there was no other sound. At this moment, even the air seemed to be filled with a sense of coldness and killing intent.
"If there are men in the family, let them come and claim them. If no one wants to claim them, then directly distribute them to the Black Fire warriors today. Let them go back and serve the Black Fire warriors and give birth to their children."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Divine Wood tribe on both sides changed, while the warriors of the Black Fire tribe were overjoyed. Many of them laughed out loud.
In the Southern Wilderness, due to the harsh living conditions, murder and looting were not uncommon. Women and children who had lost their protection were indeed often robbed. But it could be said that it was the first time in many years that Lu Chen planned to directly divide up such a large group of women after the war.
While the Black Fire tribe warriors were excited, the Divine Wood tribe naturally looked as if they had lost their parents. Many women and children cried out.
However, Lu Chen did not care about this. It seemed that his heart was much colder and harder than these barbaric barbarians.
Then, Lu Chen directly pointed to the Divine Wood tribe's patriarch who was lying on the ground. His face was covered in blood. He said, "You are the patriarch. Come and identify them first."
The Divine Wood Patriarch's body swayed, and he looked like he was about to start cursing again. Lu Chen said coldly, "If you don't come over to claim them, you'll be given to my warriors as slaves."
The Divine Wood tribe's patriarch gnashed his teeth, but in the end, he had no choice but to climb up. Then, under the sorrowful and indignant gazes of everyone, he staggered to the front of the group of women and children and began to claim his own women and children.
In this wasteland, the primitive barbarians respected strength, and it was extremely common for men to be superior to women. As the patriarch of the tribe, the Divine Wood tribe's patriarch had actually pointed out seven women and two children. Clearly, he had lived a very comfortable life in the past.
The Black Fire tribe's barbarian warriors who were watching with great interest seemed to be filled with jealousy and hatred. A few of them even began to curse, clearly feeling very unbalanced.
The Divine Wood tribe's patriarch knew that the situation was not in his favor, so he did not care. He lowered his head and planned to lead his people back. But at this moment, suddenly, a black figure blocked in front of him.
It was that mysterious, terrifying, cold, and ruthless black-robed priest!
"Wait a moment," Lu Chen said calmly.
The Divine Wood tribe's camp was instantly silent. Everyone looked over, at Lu Chen.
The original Vulcan Staff had already disappeared. At this moment, the only thing in his hand was the White Bone Mask that he had casually grabbed. His entire body was hidden in the seemingly ancient black robe, which made him look even colder.
After a moment, the Divine Wood tribe's patriarch seemed to have plucked up his courage and asked, "What do you want?"
"Our Warrior Leader has spoken just now," said Ye Zichen. Lu Chen's hood moved slightly, then he looked up at the barbarian in front of him and said, "Join the Black Fire, or die. Choose one."
The Divine Wood tribe's patriarch's face twisted, but even if he did not turn his head to look, he knew that all his tribesmen were looking at him. He clenched his teeth and suddenly roared, "Impossible, you must be dreaming!"
Lu Chen looked at him coldly, his fingers moving slightly, and the white bone mask flipped in his palm, emitting a strange white light.
After a moment, Lu Chen suddenly picked up the mask and silently and slowly placed it on his face. At the same time, he said lightly, "Okay."
The white bone mask slowly descended on the human man's face. Strangely, the mask instantly and firmly attached to his face, without any signs of slipping off.
All the clansmen of the Divine Wood Tribe were in an uproar. But very quickly, they saw a pair of dark eyes appear behind the terrifying bone mask.
Two black flames burned behind the terrifying eye sockets, like the eyes of a demon, and fell on the Divine Wood tribe's patriarch.
"In that case, you can die."
The Divine Wood tribe's patriarch was first shocked, then angry. Just as he was about to resist, his expression suddenly changed. He grabbed his throat with both hands and shouted hoarsely.
A ball of black flames suddenly spewed out from his mouth. Then, it grew ten times larger as it faced the wind and directly engulfed his entire body. In an instant, a shrill and miserable howl resounded through the entire camp.
