Lu Chen didn't tell Ye when and how this white bone mask, which was left behind by the ancestors of the Divine Wood Tribe, would be useful in the future. Yezi wanted to ask, but Lu Chen had already chased her out before she could open her mouth.
Yezi, who was full of doubts, did not dare to resist the mysterious black-robed priest. She could only retreat, and at the same time, she hid the white bone mask in her bosom and wrapped it tightly, afraid that it would be seen by others.
No matter what, the Divine Wood Tribe had been destroyed and disappeared from this wasteland. At this moment, in name, she and the remaining tribesmen were also part of the Black Fire Tribe. If this item was seen and recognized by someone, it would probably cause an unfathomable storm.
After all, in the past days, Yezi had seen with her own eyes the killing of those who still cherished their ancestors in front of the entire tribe more than once.
But despite this danger, Yezi still accepted the white bone mask without any hesitation. When she left the dark stone house, she subconsciously looked to the side. The expressionless Black Fire Guards only turned to look at her, and then looked away.
Yezi breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly left the place.
… …
The sky was bright.
Lu Chen walked out of the priest's stone house with Atsu. The people of the Black Fire Tribe who had been waiting outside were already standing in a row. From the chief Huo Yan to the tribal generals like White Eagle, Iron Bear, Black Bull, and Ye and a group of new priests, almost all the important figures of the tribe were present. Around them, there were even more Black Fire Guards standing there with complicated expressions.
But when they saw Lu Chen, they were all taken aback.
Because on this morning, under the light of dawn, the human man who had been in the image of a black-robed priest for a long time suddenly took off the black robe and changed into his original clothes.
An indescribable subtle atmosphere slowly spread in this corner of the tribe's camp. When the black robe disappeared, people suddenly felt that there was a huge gap between them and Lu Chen.
Before, people were in awe of this black-robed priest, afraid of his power and witchcraft. In this long period of time, they had even forgotten his original identity, and regarded him as an extremely important member of the Black Fire Tribe.
But on this morning, everyone suddenly understood that he was about to leave. He would no longer have anything to do with this tribe.
Or perhaps … there was a possibility that they would be enemies?
No one spoke, and no one came forward to greet him. The atmosphere in front of the priest's stone house was a little awkward, and there was a subtle tension. On one side was a lonely human, and on the other side was a huge crowd of more than a hundred Barbarians.
Some people in the crowd could not help but look around, and some people stared at Lu Chen with sparkling eyes. Lu Chen walked until he was about a hundred feet in front of the crowd and stopped. He looked at the people in front of him.
There was not much expression on his calm face. On the other hand, the black wolf Atsu, who had followed him for a long time and had been eating and drinking, suddenly seemed to have recovered its energy and spirit. It suddenly let out a low growl, and the fur on its neck stood up. Its eyes were fierce, and it stared at the large number of Barbarians in front of it. It bared its fangs without fear, and looked as if it wanted to bite a few of them to death to see if the Barbarians' flesh tasted good.
Lu Chen did not seem to notice the fierce behavior of the black wolf beside him. He continued to look at the crowd in front of him with a calm face, and even a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
There seemed to be a deeper sense of mockery and contempt hidden in the depths of that smile.
A man and a wolf, and a large group of silent but murderous Barbarians, confronted each other in a somewhat strange way.
After a while, suddenly, Huo Yan, who was standing at the front of the crowd, laughed out loud. He strode forward, and then opened his arms, and gave Lu Chen a warm hug.
"Brother, I've come to see you off!" He said while laughing.
The tense atmosphere in the crowd of Barbarians suddenly eased. Many people could not help but let out a sigh of relief. There were also many people who loosened their grip on the hilt of their swords.
Lu Chen smiled at him and said, "Thank you."
Huo Yan pulled his arm and walked out of the camp side by side. Along the way, they talked cheerfully and wittily. Behind them, a large group of people followed silently. Just like that, they walked to the main gate of the tribe's camp.
Huo Yan was still holding onto Lu Chen's hand, and said with a smile, "Brother, are you really not going to consider staying and assisting me? To be honest, as long as you are here, no matter how vast the wilderness is, no matter how strong the enemy is, I will not have the slightest fear. "
Lu Chen said, "Patriarch, you're a man of great ambition and vision. You don't need my meager strength to accomplish great things. I still have some concerns in the north, so I have no choice but to return. Please forgive me, tribe leader. "
Huo Yan stared at him, and his expression was slightly complicated and heavy. He said, "That road is exceptionally dangerous. Even if you have a slim chance of survival, will it be alright?"
Lu Chen pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I still want to go and try."
Huo Yan sighed, nodded and said, "I also know that you have made up your mind. I just want to persuade you to stay for one last time. But since things have come to this, then forget it. I can only wish you a safe journey."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Thank you."
Huo Yan let go of his arm, and looked deeply at Lu Chen. After waiting for a moment, seeing that Lu Chen still did not move, he could not help but frown, and could only open his mouth and say, "Hmm, do you still have something here …"
Lu Chen seemed to come to a realization, and nodded, "Ah, I do have something to say to you, but these words are not convenient for others to hear. How about this, tribe leader, you send me off alone, how about it? "
Huo Yan was startled, and said with some hesitation, "Why, can't you say it here …"
Lu Chen said, "We're brothers, so there are some things we should talk about in private."
Huo Yan's eyebrows twitched, and a strange expression flashed across his face. After a moment of silence, he said, "We have known each other for so long, but this is the first time you have said the word 'brother'."
Lu Chen's expression was calm, and he said, "Anyway, we are leaving soon, there is no harm in saying it."
Huo Yan laughed, nodded and said, "Alright, since you have said this word, I will also send you off. Let's go! "
After saying this, he and Lu Chen walked forward side by side.
Many of the barbarians beside them heard their words, and their expressions changed for a moment. Tie Xiong, Hei Niu, and the others couldn't help but speak out to persuade them. On the other side, the four priests, including Ye, had complicated expressions, and looked on without saying a word.
Huo Yan turned around, and with an indifferent expression, he waved his hand, and said, "Lu Chen and I have a deep friendship, and it is not something you can understand. All of you stay here, and you are not allowed to follow."
Everyone was speechless, and they looked at each other. In the end, they had no choice but to obey and stand on the spot, and watch the two people walk into the depths of the wasteland.
…
"Those subordinates of yours seem to be very worried?" When they were a distance away from the tribe, and the figures of the people behind them had become blurry, Lu Chen suddenly opened his mouth and said to Huo Yan.
Huo Yan's expression didn't change, and he casually replied with a smile, "That is not strange. You, the black-robed priest, have always been fierce and impressive, and everyone is afraid of you."
Lu Chen smiled, and couldn't help but ask, "You are also afraid of me?"
Huo Yan shook his head and said, "I am not afraid."
Lu Chen was a little curious, and after looking at him, he playfully said, "Hmm, why is that? Are you not afraid that I will take advantage of the fact that you are alone and kill you?"
Huo Yan lightly said, "You have witchcraft, and you are not controlled by the Fire God's Staff, so of course you have the ability to kill me. But I think, no matter what, you won't kill me. "
"Why do you say that?" Lu Chen asked.
Huo Yan stopped walking, and looked into the distance. He saw that the wasteland was vast and desolate, and the cold wind swept across the land. It was a bleak scene.
"In your heart, you originally wanted me to be that killing knife, and in the future, we, the barbarians, will fight and kill each other, isn't that right?"
The smile on Lu Chen's face slowly faded. He quietly stared at the barbarian in front of him, and the depths of his pupils seemed to shrink slightly. After a while, he nodded and said, "You are indeed much smarter than those barbarians."
Huo Yan smiled, but his expression still looked a little bleak. He lightly said, "What's the use of being smart? I know your intentions, but I still have to walk this path."
"You can choose not to leave." After a moment of silence, Lu Chen said, "Even though this is not what I wanted, but since you have been honest with me today, I can also say that you can also protect your current foundation and not go south. Then, the Black Fire tribe can also maintain this situation for at least a few decades."
Huo Yan coldly laughed, but spat, and proudly said, "I killed my father, abandoned my son, and abandoned everything, not for this small situation. In the future, no matter how difficult and dangerous it is, or how much blood will flow, I will definitely restore the glory of the ancestors of the Black Fire tribe! "
"Isn't it just dead people? The more dead, the better! "
He looked up to the sky and laughed. His expression was heroic, wild and untamed. Lu Chen looked at him from the side, then slowly nodded, and lightly smiled.
