Behind Huo Hu, the young Fire Hawk suddenly stood up, but he seemed a little confused. He didn't seem to understand why his grandfather had suddenly become so agitated, and why the surrounding atmosphere had suddenly become so tense.
Fire Hawk instinctively rushed to Huo Hu's side and grabbed the knife at his waist with one hand. He then looked warily at the tribal elders of his grandfather's generation, and then at his grandfather with some doubts.
Opposite him, White Eagle, who was standing in front of the crowd, sighed. He didn't seem to care about Fire Hawk's offending appearance. He even reached out and patted Fire Hawk's shoulder, indicating that he had no malice. Then he looked at Huo Hu with a complicated expression, saying, "Patriarch, I've been with you for most of my life. At this age, I won't have any other thoughts."
Huo Hu's expression seemed to have calmed down a little. He glanced at White Eagle, then reached out and pulled back his grandson, who was in front of him, and whispered, "It's all right."
Fire Hawk let out an "oh", then Huo Hu looked at the others. After a long silence, he suddenly said, "Huo Yan said that Lu Chen is the emissary of the Fire God, and that he carries the will of the Fire God. What do you think?"
Before White Eagle could speak, Scarlet Rhinoceros had already shouted, "This is complete nonsense. Since ancient times, not to mention our Black Fire tribe, even among the thousands of tribes in the Southern Wilderness, which one of them has ever heard of a human being being a priest?"
Huo Hu was speechless. White Eagle and the other elders didn't look good, but no one said anything.
Scarlet Rhino's words were indeed very reasonable, and the facts of the past were indeed so. But at this moment, the people present, intentionally or unintentionally, had all avoided another equally irrefutable fact, and that was that Lu Chen possessed the power of Black Fire that couldn't be clearer.
In any case, he wasn't a barbarian, nor a member of the Black Fire Tribe. He didn't have the bloodline of the Black Fire, so there must be something wrong with him. Everything was fake. Even if he had the Black Fire, it must be a trick!
Huo Hu's face was wooden. After a moment, he whispered, "Then Huo Yan …"
White Eagle immediately said, "That Human Race Priest's methods are crafty. Perhaps he secretly used some method to confuse nephew Huo Yan's mind."
Before Fire Tiger could say anything, Fire Hawk, who was standing behind him, suddenly became excited. He nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, that's right. I also feel that Father has been acting a little strange recently. He's been hanging out with that human all day long.
"Shut up!" Huo Hu suddenly shouted angrily, interrupting his grandson's words.
However, White Eagle, Scarlet Rhino, and the others had already nodded and followed Fire Hawk's words. At the same time, they advised Fire Tiger, "Patriarch, even Little Fire Hawk thinks so. This is an extremely critical moment. For the future of our Black Fire Tribe, you must make a prompt decision! "
Fire Tiger's complexion was ashen. It seemed as if he had suddenly aged a lot at this moment. He looked at the old people in front of him, then turned his head to look at his grandson, Fire Eagle, who still had a face full of anger. His mouth opened a few times, but no words came out. In the end, he slowly sat back down.
"I'm already old. I don't know how many more years I can live." Fire Tiger's voice sounded particularly hoarse and low, as if he was making a final struggle. He said in a low voice, "Originally, I could not be more at ease with Huo Yan inheriting the position. But if … if something happens to me in the future, this is a major matter for the tribe … "
Everyone looked at each other, not daring to say anything for a moment. Only White Eagle's expression remained the same. He walked to Fire Tiger's side and said, "Patriarch, don't worry. If nephew Huo Yan is fine, we naturally won't do anything to him. But if he's been bewitched too deeply by that human Shaman and is unable to free himself, for the future of our tribe, there's nothing we can do …"
Hearing this, Fire Hawk, who was standing to the side, suddenly trembled. It was as if he had only just understood something. Immediately, his entire face turned pale, and he looked completely devoid of blood. Even his body began to tremble slightly.
White Eagle glanced at this young boy and saw the shock, panic, and fear on his face. He frowned slightly, and a trace of disdain flashed in the depths of his eyes. Then, he looked at Fire Tiger and said in a low voice, "Moreover, don't you still have Fire Hawk? He's your grandson, and your blood runs through his veins. As long as you focus on nurturing him, us old fellows will definitely support him with all our strength. In a few years, I think Fire Hawk will definitely become a qualified … Patriarch. "
When he said the last two words, White Eagle turned to Fire Hawk and deliberately emphasized his words.
Fire Hawk was dumbfounded, but gradually, he seemed to understand something. The emotions in his eyes suddenly became blazing, and even the fear and panic he had just felt were replaced by this new surge of excitement.
He was so excited that even his breathing became heavy. But after a moment, he suddenly sensed something. He turned his head and saw that his grandfather, Fire Tiger, was staring at him.
Fire Hawk's heart turned cold, and he subconsciously lowered his head. Fire Tiger stared at his grandson for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh and slowly shook his head.
… …
Before Ye became the mysterious and terrifying black-robed priest's maid, she had always been terrified when she arrived in front of the dark stone house. The advice of her clansmen had given her a tragic feeling, and she felt that she would soon die in that stone house. Perhaps she would even be tortured, but if it was for the sake of so many clansmen, perhaps everything would be worth it.
But to her surprise, life in this stone house was different from what she had expected from the beginning. The black-robed priest was silent most of the time, but he did not offend her in any way.
Well, perhaps he was not interested in her, and even bluntly said that she had an ugly smile.
"Well, it's better to be talked to like this than to be thrown on the bed and ravaged," Yezi thought with a bit of joy. In these days, the priest named Lu Chen ordered her to do things very naturally. All kinds of chores, including going out to call for her clansmen, were handed over to her. This also brought about another effect, and that was, the captured Divine Wood clansmen now generally believed that the black-robed priest had slept with Ye, and that was why they believed her.
In the beginning, Ye actually wanted to explain, but she quickly gave up on this idea because she found that it seemed that this was the only way for her clansmen to be happy and live more energetically.
Although many people began to look at her with strange emotions, which seemed to be hidden very deeply like some sharp things.
Stabbing people!
It was very strange, and even Ye herself could not figure out why. She felt that she had clearly come to Lu Chen's side for the sake of her clansmen. Although Lu Chen really did not do anything to her, in everyone's impression, shouldn't she have done something good for her clansmen?
But why was there disdain and contempt in their eyes?
Even if everyone was smiling and comforting her in front of her, the stinging in their eyes had never disappeared.
"Ye!"
A sudden call awakened Ye from her daze.
Ye quivered and jumped up. She hurriedly ran over to the black-robed priest who was sitting in the dark and said, "Sir, do you have any orders?"
Lu Chen looked at her indifferently and said, "Go to the camp and ask the Firerock chief to come here."
Ye replied with an "oh" and agreed. Nowadays, Lu Chen had gotten used to ordering her to do these kinds of errands. She, who walked around the camp all day, seemed to have gained the approval of most of the Black Fire clansmen.
She turned and walked out. But when she passed by the door, the giant wolf that was lying there like a guard dog suddenly roared at her and bared its teeth fiercely. Ye was so scared that she screamed and took two steps back.
Seeing that it had scared Leaves, the black wolf Ah-Tu barked twice proudly and lay back down, as if nothing had happened.
Yezi cursed the abominable big black wolf countless times in her heart, but on the surface, she could only avoid it awkwardly and even fearfully. In this dim stone house, it seemed that the black-robed priest was actually a decent person, but the beast was particularly abominable, scaring people all day long. A few nights ago, it even lay beside her in the middle of the night and suddenly roared, almost scaring Yezi out of her wits. She did not sleep well for several days.
But after that incident, it seemed that the black-robed priest could not stand it anymore. He grabbed the giant wolf named Atsu and scolded it. He seemed to have kicked the giant wolf a few times. Only then did Atsu become more well-behaved, and Ye was gradually able to sleep peacefully.
Unexpectedly, this stupid dog seemed to have a problem again today …
While thinking, Ye had already walked out of the house and walked forward quickly. Now she was very familiar with the situation in the Black Fire Camp. The other Divine Wood tribesmen were still somewhat restricted and could not walk freely in the Black Fire Camp. She was the only exception.
It was not the first time that she had gone to pass a message to Huoyan on behalf of Lu Chen, so she knew where Huoyan lived. She was very familiar with the way, but when she was about halfway there, Ye suddenly froze and stopped.
A man stopped her on the road.
After her identity as the black-robed priest's maid was made public, no one deliberately made things difficult for her or stopped her from walking in the camp. Today was the first time. Ye was a little surprised and a little nervous because she recognized this person.
Although this person was not very old, he was very famous in the Black Fire tribe and many people would give in to him.
He was Huoying, the grandson of the chief Huohu and the son of the chief Huoyan.
He stopped Leaf and looked at Leaf's face with a strange look.
