"This can't go on any longer!" An angry roar came from the house. Although it was suppressed, making the voice sound low, some echoes still floated out from the gap of the closed door. One could feel how angry the person in the house was at this moment.
Standing outside the closed door were four or five barbarian males of the Black Fire Tribe. They stood a distance away from each other and surrounded the house behind them. At the same time, they were vigilantly watching their surroundings. But in the dead of the night, no one would notice anything strange.
Of course, the barbarian at the entrance had heard the angry roar just now. He turned his head to look, and his eyes were filled with worry. But soon, he also turned his head back, and cautiously kept his guard up, not allowing any outsiders to come close.
At the same time, in the room behind the door, a lit lamp illuminated the people inside. In the middle of the room sat the old chief of the Black Fire Tribe, Fire Tiger, with his grandson, Fire Eagle, by his side. Aside from the two of them, there were six other people in the house. They were the six tribal elders who had persuaded Huo Yan with Flaming Tiger.
The one who had roared like a wild beast was one of the six elders. His name was Chi Xi. He didn't look young and was about the same age as Flaming Tiger. He had a head full of white hair and one of his two fangs was missing.
However, this old man was a fierce general of the Black Fire Tribe when he was young. He had been fighting for his entire life. Although he was old, his fierce and valiant aura was still there. At the same time, his irascible temper hadn't changed.
At this moment, Chi Xi's furious roar reverberated within the room. He paced up and down within the room before abruptly turning around and saying loudly to Flaming Tiger, "Patriarch, did you hear what I said or not?"
Flaming Tiger frowned and slightly nodded, indicating that he understood. But his eyebrows were still tightly knitted, as if he had a lot on his mind.
Seeing Patriarch Huo Hu's appearance, the other elders had different expressions. After a while, another elder at the side with a slightly gentler expression pulled Chi Xi and said in a low voice, "Alright, Patriarch knows what he's doing. Don't shout randomly. If your voice is too loud and is heard by others, they might run to tell Huo Yan or that black-robed priest, and there might be big trouble."
Chi Xi snorted heavily, his face filled with anger and reluctance. However, it seemed that he was still somewhat fearful of the two people mentioned. Finally, he walked to the side and sat down.
Only then did this elder, who had persuaded the irascible old barbarian, turn around and look at Huo Hu. He asked in a low voice, "Patriarch, what are your plans now?"
The wrinkles on Fire Tiger's aged face were deep, as if the harsh wasteland had already engraved the sands of time on his body. On this piece of land, the majority of people couldn't live to Huo Hu's age, so his knowledge and reputation had always been second to none in the Black Fire tribe. Everyone had always trusted him for many years.
That was until his son, Huo Yan, grew up and displayed his extraordinary talent and strength in front of the tribe's people. To this day, every barbarian of the Black Fire tribe believed that Huo Yan would be the next patriarch. His strength, wisdom, and courage were unparalleled in the Black Fire tribe. All of this gradually became a public opinion.
Sometimes, it would make people feel as if everyone was waiting for the day of Old Huo Hu's death.
Fire Tiger didn't like this feeling. Since a long time ago, when his son, Huo Yan, rose to power, he disliked it. But even if he was the patriarch, he couldn't do anything about it. Therefore, he could only remain silent most of the time. Then, with a complicated gaze, he would secretly peep at his son who was growing stronger and stronger day by day.
"Patriarch?" A somewhat surprised voice sounded in Huo Hu's ear, startling him. He woke up from his daze, only to discover that he had unknowingly been in a daze for a while.
Is this the feeling of growing old? Huo Hu felt a bit sad for a moment, but he didn't show it on his face. He only muttered to himself for a moment, pretending to be in deep thought. Then, he asked, "White Eagle, what do you think?"
This elder named White Eagle was also one of the most prestigious elders in the Black Fire tribe. He had assisted Huo Hu for many years and could be said to be deeply trusted by the old patriarch. But it was also because of this that White Eagle understood Huo Hu far better than anyone else. Huo Hu's expression just now had fooled the others, but not White Eagle's eyes.
However, White Eagle didn't make any strange expression at this moment. Instead, a trace of worry flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he said to Huo Hu in a low voice, "Patriarch, what Brother Chi Rhino said just now actually makes sense. If we let Huo Yan and that human called Lu Yuan continue to mess around like this, I'm afraid that something big will really happen."
Huo Hu didn't immediately speak, but Fire Eagle, who was beside him, asked, "Grandpa White Eagle, what bad things will happen?"
White Eagle glanced at Huo Hu, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "First of all, they are too warlike. It has only been a few days since they attacked the Divine Wood tribe, but they are already preparing to attack another tribe. Although the warriors of our Black Fire tribe are brave and valiant, there aren't too many of them. As long as it's a war, there will definitely be casualties, and as time goes on, we will definitely not be able to withstand it. "
The other elders and Fire Eagle nodded, and then White Eagle said, "Also, now that Lu Chen has also taken the captured Divine Wood warriors as people of the Black Fire tribe. He has also placed Black Fire Runes on their bodies, and named them Black Fire Guards, and they will only listen to him! What does this mean? If he has any ulterior motives in the future, how will our Black Fire tribe deal with him? "
"And the worst thing is," At this moment, Chi Rhino, who had just sat down, suddenly stood up again, walked in front of everyone, and said with an agitated expression, "Now we can all see that Lu Chen and Huo Yan plan to continue fighting, and then intend to exterminate the tribe, then capture people, and then use Black Fire Runes to increase their fighting strength. But everyone, don't forget, according to their methods, it won't be long before our Black Fire tribe's warriors die, but the other tribes will capture more and more Black Fire Guards and obey the priest! "
"At that time, will the Black Fire tribe still be the Black Fire tribe? In the tribe, at that time, who would be the one who kept their word? Will it be us Black Fire Barbarians, or that black-robed priest called Lu Chen? "
The room was silent, and no one opened their mouth to answer Chi Rhino's straightforward question.
Only Fire Eagle, who was still young, suddenly flew into a rage. He turned over and jumped up, saying angrily, "We can't let this happen. Damn it, we should have killed that monster with one strike!"
… …
Killed that black-robed priest with one strike?
The few elders in the room, except for the simple-minded Chi Rhino, who was extremely angry and impulsive, looked at each other. After looking at each other a few times, they all frowned and did not speak.
Although most of the barbarians were impulsive, violent, and ferocious, as long as they were old and still alive, most of them would have seen a lot of things, experienced a lot of hardships, and understood some of the principles of life. On the contrary, barbarians like Chi Rhino, who had always been impulsive and angry until old, were actually rare in their age group.
White Eagle was the same. Compared to when he was young, the current him was especially calm. He didn't answer Fire Eagle's words, but looked at the old chief Fire Tiger and called out softly, "Chief?"
Fire Tiger slowly raised his head and glanced at White Eagle. His voice sounded a little low, "What do you want me to do?"
White Eagle wanted to say something but stopped. Chi Rhino, who was next to him, became anxious. He simply took a few steps forward and said, "Chief, the current situation of the tribe is critical. We need you to come out and rectify it!"
Fire Tiger sighed, and there seemed to be some helplessness on his face. He said, "Rectify? How? It's not like you don't know the situation of the tribe. Today, almost all the warriors of the younger generation were brought up by Huo Yan. They can be said to be dead set on him. Even I, the chief, may not be as useful as Huo Yan. "
White Eagle walked to Fire Tiger's side and sat down. He said softly, "Chief, no matter what, the position of chief is still yours. As long as you speak, the young people of the tribe will have to listen. Even if Huo Yan's reputation is soaring, as long as he doesn't say anything, as long as you come out, you can still control the situation. "
Fire Tiger's complexion slightly changed. He looked at White Eagle and said, "What do you mean?"
White Eagle was silent, but at the same time, the other elders, including Chi Xi, stood up at the same time and walked behind White Eagle.
Fire Tiger's complexion greatly changed. He suddenly stood up and stared at these people. He didn't know why, but his old face twisted. Even his voice became a little hoarse. He hissed, "Are you crazy? He is my son! "
