When Huo Yan returned to the Black Fire Tribe's camp with this unprecedented victory, the anxious tribesmen who had been waiting for a long time immediately cheered. The entire Black Fire Tribe seemed to be boiling with excitement. After returning to the camp from the secret cave in the oasis, they were most worried about their loved ones who had left for the war.
Even if the Barbarians were savage, fierce, and wild, they still had kinship and humanity. For example, among the Divine Wood Tribe's people who had surrendered, there were many Barbarian warriors who would rather die than surrender. However, under the premise of the tribe's destruction, and when Lu Chen coldly threatened them with the fate of their families, they finally surrendered.
Of course, it was also possible that some of them already had the desire to live in their hearts, but they had no excuse in front of the gods and ancestors. Lu Chen just happened to present this almost perfect excuse in front of them, allowing them to live with some humiliation but peace of mind.
As for the truth of the matter, no one knew what everyone was thinking. Only they themselves would know.
The news of the Black Fire Tribe's warriors annihilating the Divine Wood Tribe in one fell swoop spread throughout the Black Fire Tribe's camp. Great joy immediately enveloped the entire tribe. However, when people saw the Divine Wood Tribe's captives following behind the Black Fire Tribe's warriors, they were all taken aback. When they heard that under the leadership of the black-robed priest, these Divine Wood Tribe Barbarians were about to become a part of the Black Fire Tribe, the entire camp suddenly burst into an uproar.
The Divine Wood Tribe, which had been exterminated, was naturally uncomfortable with swallowing so many people from other tribes at once. However, for the Black Fire Tribe, which was the victor, it was an unprecedented event. For many years, the barbarians of the Southern Wilderness had already become familiar with and accustomed to the original rules. In their minds, worshipping the Gods and revering their ancestors was a matter of course. No one would ever think of betraying these rules and joining another tribe.
Of course, those who had such thoughts now seemed to have not encountered the desperate situation that the Divine Wood Tribe had encountered.
But no matter what, most of the Blackfire tribe's barbarians couldn't accept this. However, no one in the camp dared to rebuke them. The reason was very simple. Apart from the mysterious and terrifying black-robed priest, the leader of this operation was the extremely prestigious warrior chief, Huo Yan. Moreover, many of the Black Fire Barbarians quickly discovered that the strongest and most elite warriors who had followed Huo Yan on this expedition, the barbarians who could be said to be the foundation of the Black Fire Tribe's military strength, did not seem to have any objections.
Not only that, when that strange atmosphere spread, almost all the Black Fire Warriors stood behind Huo Yan and the black-robed priest, intentionally or unintentionally.
That's right, apart from Huo Yan, there was also the black-robed priest. Every single Black Fire Warrior looked at that black figure with awe that they had never felt before.
…
However, rules that had been ingrained in the hearts of the people for thousands of years could not be easily overturned. Ordinary Black Fire Tribesmen were intimidated by these powerful people, but in the Black Fire Tribe, there were people of higher status who were not afraid of them.
That person quickly walked out and stood in front of all the Black Fire Tribesmen.
The wrinkles brought by Nian Hua's old age were engraved on Huohu's face. His back was hunched and he was gasping for breath. Even his steps were slow. Perhaps only his eyes still maintained the firm and firm belief of a barbarian tribe leader.
His grandson, Huohu, supported him by his side. Then, he looked at the captives who had been brought to his tribe's camp with a complicated and slightly angry expression. In the end, he turned all his disgust into hatred and glared at the person standing beside his father.
Lu Chen, of course, noticed the gaze of the barbarian youth, Huohu. Lu Chen only felt that it was a little funny to see that strange but hateful gaze. He could more or less understand the feelings of this barbarian youth called Huohu, but he was not apologetic at all. A long, long time ago, when he was just a youth about the same age as Huohu, under the tutelage of that bald and burly Deity Stage Cultivator, he had already cast aside his weak and compassionate heart.
Perhaps after many years, his experience had enriched, and his temperament had also changed, but that was only for friends he had met by chance in the Human Race. As for the Southern Wilderness, he still did not have the slightest bit of soft-heartedness.
Therefore, he turned a blind eye to Huohu's angry gaze, and even took out the white bone mask from his bosom in a slightly provocative manner, and slowly put it on his face.
After entering the Black Fire Tribe's camp, the former Divine Wood Tribesmen, who had betrayed their ancestors and were forced to join the enemy tribe, seemed very frightened. Looking at the strange and hostile gazes around them, the panic and bewilderment that had been suppressed in their hearts seemed to be on the verge of exploding.
Who would believe the barbarians who had betrayed the beliefs of their ancestors? If it were him, he would not believe it either.
So, what would be waiting for him?
The unpredictability and fear of death could drive a person insane. Therefore, the women tightly hugged their crying children with tears in their eyes, while the men clenched their fists and gritted their teeth. The clamorous noise drifted out from the crowd, increasing the vigilance and hostility of the surrounding Black Fire Tribe clansmen.
The atmosphere in the camp gradually became tense.
It was also at this time that Lu Chen put on the white bone mask.
Under the sunlight, Lu Chen looked like the shadow of a demon at this moment, contrasting with the gloomy white bone mask, making him look even more terrifying.
But for some reason, when the white bone mask appeared on his face, perhaps because they suddenly saw a token passed down by their ancient ancestors, or perhaps because they remembered the promise made by the black-robed priest, the restless Divine Wood Tribesmen slowly calmed down.
So in the end, everyone's eyes once again fell on the center of the camp.
There, Huo Ying supported his grandfather Huo Hu, and opposite them stood Huo Yan and Lu Chen side by side.
The three generations of the Black Fire Tribe were the symbols and leaders of the Black Fire Tribe. With the addition of a black shadow beside them, at this moment, there seemed to be a faint confrontation.
The barbarians of the Black Fire Tribe looked at this scene with complicated expressions, and Huo Yan's expression did not look good either.
After a moment, he stepped forward and bowed to his father, saying, "Father, I've returned."
Huo Hu nodded his head and looked at him with a complicated expression, then swept his gaze over Lu Chen who was standing beside him. After a moment of silence, he asked, "What's going on?"
Huo Yan had no intention of hiding anything. He raised his head and in front of everyone, he clearly and clearly explained the ins and outs of the matter. Finally, he looked at Huo Hu with bright eyes and said, "Father, from today onwards, these people are the people of our Black Fire Tribe!"
The surrounding Black Fire Tribe members were deathly silent. No one spoke, and no one even dared to breathe loudly. Even Huo Ying, who was standing beside Huo Hu, had a change in expression. He looked at his father, who was once the most imposing and upright person in his heart, with his mouth half open, as if he did not know what to say.
After a while, Huo Hu suddenly sneered and said, "Nonsense!"
… …
After these two words were said, it immediately caused a commotion in the surrounding crowd.
This was the judgment of the current chief of the Black Fire Tribe, and he directly denied what Huo Yan had just said. His attitude and expression were exceptionally clear, leaving no room for refutation.
"This is nonsense, this is nonsense!" Huo Hu raised his voice and shouted, "If you are not a descendant of our Black Fire Tribe, then you have no right to become a barbarian of the Black Fire Tribe. What right do you have to act so recklessly and take in so many people of different races at once? Are you not afraid of the wrath of the Fire God and the punishment of the ancestors? "
Following his harsh words, the other people of the Black Fire Tribe seemed to be wavering, and their expressions became somewhat hesitant.
The Divine Wood Tribe members were once again frightened and panicked, and the scene immediately became somewhat chaotic. Whispers could be heard, as if something was about to happen.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side, suppressing all the noise.
"Right? Who has the right to judge whether the Fire God is angry or not, and who has the right to listen to the thoughts of the Black Fire Tribe's ancestors? Is it you? "
In an instant, all the voices in the Black Fire Tribe disappeared, and countless gazes fell on the source of the voice.
They saw the black-robed priest wearing a white bone mask take a step forward, staring at the old chief, and lightly say, "If I remember correctly, the only ones who have the right to judge these matters should be the chief priests of our tribe."
