"Give it to me!"
Huo Yan stretched out his large hand until it reached in front of Lu Chen.
Lu Chen looked left and right and saw that this place was indeed very far from the Black Fire Tribe. Apart from the two of them, there was no one else around. He nodded and said, "Give me the Fire God's Staff."
Huo Yan pulled out the Fire God's Staff from a bag on his substitute body. Lu Chen looked at it and asked, "Have you been carrying it with you these days?"
Huo Yan lightly said, "This divine weapon is so important. How can I let it leave my hands? In the future, I will have to rely on it for my grand plans and even control of the tribe."
He caressed the staff a few times and handed it over to Lu Chen. In that instant, he seemed to sigh and bitterly smiled. "But I also did not think that the only person in this world that I can hand over this staff without worry would be you, a human."
Lu Chen gently took it and said, "If you are like this, you will be very sad in the future. I'm afraid it will be very difficult to find someone that you can completely trust."
Huo Yan coldly laughed and proudly said, "As long as I have the God's Staff, I don't need anyone else!"
Lu Chen looked deeply at him and nodded. "Good. I hope that in a few decades, you will still be able to say this."
As he spoke, he held one end of the Fire God's Staff and placed the other end next to Huo Yan's large head. Then, he began to chant a strange incantation in a low voice.
As his voice echoed, the runes on the Fire God's Staff lit up one by one. A strange black flame gently burned. At the same time, Huo Yan suddenly frowned, as if he felt something. Then, he concentrated and listened, as if he was trying to memorize it.
After a while, Lu Chen listened and said to Huo Yan, "Have you memorized it?"
The flame closed its eyes and was silent for a while. Then, it opened its eyes and nodded.
Lu Chen waved his hand and the light shadow on the Fire God Staff disappeared. Everything returned to its original state. He then returned the divine weapon to Huo Yan and said, "Remember this in your heart, this technique can only borrow the power of the Fire God Staff to control the hundreds of Black Fire Guards that I have created with the runes, but it cannot create new people. In other words, if you want more Black Fire Guards in the future, you can only rely on your priests to inscribe runes and control the priests to control more Black Fire Guards. "
"Even if this group of people is the most reliable and powerful force you have right now, it can be considered a gift from me before I leave."
"Gift?" Huo Yan muttered, "When we left the tribe's camp, I saw the expressions of the Black Fire Guards. Many of them seemed to want to rush over and kill you."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "They only dare to think about it. If one of them really rushed out, I'll take it that he has the guts."
Huo Yan looked at him and frowned, "Although you have given these people to me, but hearing you humiliate the warriors of the Brute Tribe, I still feel unhappy."
Lu Chen smiled and shook his head, "First, I will leave soon. I don't know if I will live or die, why should I care about what you Brute Tribe think? Second, those people who are cowardly but have no choice but to listen to orders and fight to the death, isn't that what you want? Isn't this kind of Black Fire Guards more useful? "
After he finished speaking, he laughed and patted Huo Yan's shoulder, "Don't you think so?"
Huo Yan was silent for a long time. In the end, he laughed bitterly and said, "Scram!"
…
Walking into the depths of the wasteland, there was no one in front or behind them, only the wind blowing. Then, they also stopped.
Lu Chen turned around and said, "Let's go."
Huo Yan nodded, but suddenly opened his mouth to stop him, saying, "Wait a moment."
Lu Chen stopped and said, "What, is there something else?"
Huo Yan thought for a while and said, "Will we have the chance to meet again in the future?"
Lu Chen thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It should be impossible. This time, when I return north, if the path in the Great Snow Mountain is really as dangerous as you said, if my luck is not good, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk out and will die there. But if my luck is good, I think I won't come back. "
He turned his head to look at the surrounding scenery of the wasteland and said, "I don't like this place."
Huo Yan sighed and said, "What a pity, I really want you to stay, and sometimes I also think, after you leave, I probably won't have anyone to talk to so frankly in my life."
Lu Chen was slightly surprised. He looked at him and said, "What, it sounds like you really want to have a friend to talk to?"
Huo Yan was silent for a moment before he burst into laughter. He waved his hand and said, "It's just a joke. In this wasteland, we barbarians only believe in strength. No friend can compare to this."
As he spoke, he grabbed the Fire God's Staff and waved it in front of Lu Chen. Then he said proudly, "Just you wait. In the future, when I succeed, I will definitely think of a way to go north to visit your human territory. At that time, if we are fated to meet again, we will drink to our heart's content. Perhaps at that time, for your sake, I will be a bit merciful and kill a few of your people. "
"North?" Lu Chen smiled, then nodded and said, "That's ambitious! Good, I will wait for you. But your merciful heart … have you heard of the Bodhisattva of the Divine Central Plains? "
"Bodhisattva? What is that? "
"Just a legendary merciful immortal. But forget it, you don't need to know. After all …" Lu Chen turned around and strode forward. At the same time, he said, "After all, in your heart, there is no longer a god!"
"Live a few more years!" Huo Yan said with a laugh.
"You too."
… …
There would always be parting in life, just like a banquet that would eventually end. But this trip to the Southern Border was like a fleeting dream, making it impossible for one to love it. Lu Chen and Ah-Tu walked away with big strides. Occasionally, they would turn their heads to look back, and they would see that the tall and sturdy barbarian was still standing in the wilderness. However, his figure was gradually becoming blurry.
What would everyone be like in a few decades?
How different would everyone's fate be?
Or perhaps, these two people who were at opposite ends of the world, who should have been separated by a great distance and never intersected, might not even be able to live to that time.
Who knew …
"Atsu." Lu Chen suddenly called out as he looked at the desolate scenery in front of him.
Atsu raised its head and looked at him. Er, actually, it turned its head. This big black wolf had stayed in this wasteland for a year or two, and its body seemed to have grown even bigger. Just by standing, it seemed to be taller than Lu Chen.
"Why don't you stay here?" Lu Chen said.
Atsu's footsteps suddenly stopped. It looked stunned for a moment, and then it let out a low growl. It seemed to be very angry at Lu Chen's words, and it even bared its fangs.
Lu Chen smiled and glanced at the scenery around him. He then said indifferently, "The method I used to save you in the past was actually a method that the Devil Cult had obtained from the Barbarian tribes in the Chaotic Lands. If I remember correctly, based on your bloodline, you should belong to the Holy Beast that the Barbarian Tribe revered."
He pointed to the south. The wasteland there was wider and more distant. The vast wind blew past, and the world was a vast expanse.
"Over there, in the south of the wasteland, is the place where the Barbarian Tribe lives. There are countless powerful and prosperous tribes living there, and it is far better than this barren north."
"There should be your kind there, and they are also the Holy Beasts that were born in this land. Do you want to go find them?"
After saying that, he stared at Atsu to see its reaction.
He saw Atsu look to the south, and then it turned its head. It seemed to grumble at Lu Chen, and then it turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
Lu Chen laughed, and chased after it, patted its head, and said with a smile, "Okay, then let's go together."
With that, he exerted a little force in his hand, and his body rose into the air. He flipped over and sat on Atsu's back, and then said with a laugh, "Come on, let's go home!"
The giant black wolf looked up to the sky and howled. Its voice shook the wilderness, and then it rushed out like a black lightning, galloping across the vast and boundless wasteland.
It ran faster and faster, and the more it ran, the more anxious it became, as if the earth was responding to it, as if its ancient bloodline had suddenly awakened on this day, and its blood was boiling. It galloped against the wind, rushing to the more distant mountains in the north, and behind the snow-covered peaks, to the hometown in its memory.
