Three days later, west of the Black Fire tribe's camp.
It wasn't an endless, flat, and desolate wilderness. There were a few small hills on this piece of land, and withered weeds could be seen everywhere. There were even a few trees that weren't very tall.
Huo Yan and Lu Chen had arrived, and with them came a large number of Black Fire tribe's elite warriors.
In front of these formidable and valiant barbarians, the atmosphere in the wilderness seemed to have become somewhat somber.
Iron Bear and Black Bull, the two most trusted warrior leaders under Huo Yan, each led a group of men to sweep through the surrounding area. They plowed through all the places that could possibly hide outsiders' spies, ensuring the safety of this area.
And in the center of the agreed land, the warriors of the Black Fire tribe had all stayed a distance away. Only Lu Chen and Huo Yan stood there, gazing into the distance.
"Do you think the people from the Ghost Fox tribe will come?" Huo Yan suddenly asked Lu Chen.
Lu Chen replied, "They should come. We've already spread the word. Without strong support, I don't think the Ghost Fox tribe will be able to withstand this kind of pressure. And since they secretly sent people to join us that day, they're already afraid of battle. All they're asking for is face, and conditions that will make their situation better. "
Huo Yan nodded. It seemed that he had no objections to Lu Chen's words.
The sunlight of the wilderness shone down from the sky, shining on the two of them. One was tall, the other short, and their temperaments were different. Huo Yan's body was tall and sturdy, and he looked like the most valiant of the barbarians. On the other hand, the black-robed Lu Chen seemed to be hidden in the darkness. Even though it was daytime, he still gave off a gloomy feeling.
Huo Yan glanced at him, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "There's something I might need your help with."
Lu Chen turned his head to look at him, and said, "Hmm?"
Huo Yan said, "If possible, please see if there are any talents in our Black Fire Tribe, and then choose them as disciples. After grooming them for a while, they might be able to produce one or two priests in the future."
Lu Chen frowned slightly, a strange light flashed in the depths of his eyes. He stared at Huo Yan, but his tone didn't seem to change, except that there seemed to be a hint of coldness in his voice. "You want me to help your Black Fire tribe train priests?"
Huo Yan said, "Yes."
Lu Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "Your Black Fire tribe has never had a priest for so many years, and now you have a promising talent?"
Huo Yan shook his head and sighed, "Our Black Fire Tribe hasn't had a priest for at least a few hundred years. In the past few years, of course we have carefully searched the tribe, but we couldn't find anyone with the potential to become a priest. "
At this point, he paused for a moment, and his face looked somewhat calm. He continued, "But according to what I know, in the past, when choosing a priest disciple, it was always the previous generations of priests who chose from within the tribe. Legend has it that only priests can truly sense the witchcraft spiritual power emitted from a tribe member with potential. As for us mortals, no matter how hard we try, it is very difficult to sense. So, I can only ask for your help in this matter. "
Huo Yan looked at Lu Chen, a trace of sincerity on his face.
Lu Chen's expression didn't seem to change, but after a moment, he faintly smiled, and a trace of ridicule flashed in the depths of his eyes. He said, "You can trust me on such an important matter?"
Huo Yan didn't say anything. Beside the two of them, the atmosphere seemed to have suddenly turned cold.
… …
Just as the atmosphere became slightly tense, a figure suddenly appeared in the distance. After a moment, someone came over to report that the people from the Ghost Fox Tribe had arrived.
This news temporarily broke the cold atmosphere between Lu Chen and Huo Yan. Huo Yan nodded, and ordered people to bring those people over.
The group of people that came were the elite warriors of the Ghost Fox Tribe. The one leading them was their tribe leader, but there were only two people following behind him.
Bringing so few guards into the territory of the Black Fire Tribe, it was obvious that the Ghost Fox tribe leader understood that even if he brought a lot of people, it wouldn't be of much use. But when the Ghost Fox tribe leader saw the people of the Black Fire Tribe, his pupils couldn't help but shrink, and the muscles on his face slightly twisted.
This was because there were at least seventy to eighty barbarian warriors of the Black Fire Tribe following Huo Yan and Lu Chen. From the looks of it, they were all people who had Black Fire Runes inscribed on them. In other words, as long as the Black Fire Tribe wanted to, all the warriors present could immediately enter a demonic state.
Just the strength of the Black Fire Tribe gathered here was more than enough to destroy the Ghost Fox Tribe. They could even start a war with the remaining Thunder Lizard Tribe and Ghost Fox Tribe. It was hard to say who would win.
The Ghost Fox tribe leader fiercely cursed in his heart, hating the unfairness of the gods. How did the Black Fire Tribe suddenly become so powerful? But the situation was beyond his control. No matter what, he didn't dare to openly say these words. Instead, he laughed along the way, and walked in front of Huo Yan and Lu Chen with quick steps.
"Long time no see, brother Huo Yan." The Ghost Fox tribe leader opened his arms, as if he wanted a firm hug.
Huo Yan stretched out a hand to block the Ghost Fox tribe leader's outstretched arm. His expression was indifferent and somewhat distant. It was obvious that he didn't like the words "brother" at all.
However, the Ghost Fox tribe leader didn't show any awkwardness. He laughed, turned around, and nodded to Lu Chen with a smile, "Lord Priest, since we last met, you've really made people look at you in a new light."
The other tribes had also seen Lu Chen's origins on the day of the five tribes' battle. At that time, there were many who wanted to kill him. But no one would have thought that in such a short period of time, this human could actually increase the strength of the Black Fire Tribe by so much.
If he had known earlier, he would have killed this scourge that day no matter what. The Ghost Fox tribe leader thought bitterly in his heart, but he still smiled at Lu Chen wholeheartedly.
Lu Chen had a whole new level of respect for the Ghost Fox tribe leader. After he came to the Southern Wilderness, he had seen many barbarians. Most of them were straightforward, violent, brave, and lacking in calmness. Among them, Huo Yan, who was somewhat scheming, was an exception.
However, even Huo Yan couldn't do what this Ghost Fox Clan Leader did. In comparison, this Ghost Fox Clan Leader seemed more like a two-faced and scheming human. This made Lu Chen, who had been immersed in this treacherous and dangerous atmosphere since he was young, feel a sense of familiarity and closeness from this Ghost Fox Clan Leader …
…
"Tribe leader, how have you been?" Lu Chen said to the Ghost Fox tribe leader with a smile. This smile diluted the cold and dark aura on his body.
The Ghost Fox tribe leader smiled and said, "We brothers are just meeting each other. Why make such a big scene and bring so many people? There's no need."
Huo Yan still kept a straight face and didn't speak.
But Lu Chen said to the Ghost Fox tribe leader, "Actually, we just wanted to show you our strength, to prove that we didn't lie."
As he said this, he pointed to the Black Fire Tribe's warriors who were eyeing them like tigers and wolves, and said calmly, "We said that we will destroy your Ghost Fox tribe, so we will definitely destroy it."
The Ghost Fox tribe leader's face stiffened, and his face sank. He sneered and said, "Although you are powerful now, if you go too far, we will join forces with the Thunder Lizard tribe. Even if you can defeat us, your strength will be greatly damaged."
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "No, we can easily kill you all."
"You!" The Ghost Fox tribe leader was speechless for a moment, and his face was livid.
Lu Chen walked to his side and said, "Since the tribe leader is here today, you naturally know what to do. As for the Black Fire tribe, we can't really force you too much. So, as long as you do us a favor, your future treatment … Yes, I mean, at least you and your family will definitely not have to worry."
The Ghost Fox tribe leader was furious and shouted, "Who do you think I am?" Then he paused and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly."
Lu Chen smiled and lowered his voice to whisper in his ear.
The anger on the Ghost Fox tribe leader's face quickly dissipated, and he gradually revealed a surprised expression. At the same time, his expression gradually became serious.
In the end, Lu Chen took two steps back and said, "That's it."
The Ghost Fox tribe leader was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice, "This is not easy."
Lu Chen turned his head and looked at Huo Yan. Huo Yan took a step forward, and his burly body suddenly walked in front of the Ghost Fox tribe leader. Huo Yan stared into his eyes and said, "Die, or fight. You decide!"
The Ghost Fox tribe leader let out a long sigh, and then slowly nodded.
