His words sounded convincing, and the higher-ups of the Dragon Dance Hall were all shocked.
"Loosening the reins only to grasp what he wants from the other party's mouth. To be honest, this kid's brain is really useful."
"If this brain is used in the decision-making of the Imperial Palace, it will immediately highlight its advantages."
"To be honest, I think that in terms of intelligence, the other two are far inferior to Long Chen. Although the Little Martial God has been more normal these days, he is not good at this aspect."
Hearing these views, the other party was not satisfied and sneered, "Don't be happy too early. Let Long Chen enter the Black Rock Tribe to take a look. I bet that he can only coax this young man."
"Let's wait and see."
In the Dark Kingdom.
Tu's eyes lit up when he heard Long Chen say that the mission was to kill the savage beasts, as if he had seen a life-saving straw. He knelt on the ground and quickly kowtowed several times.
He knelt on the ground, quickly kowtowed a few times, and said loudly: "Lord Oracle, you are right, every Oracle's mission is only to kill the savage beasts. You are sent by the Dark Goddess to save us dark survivors, that is absolutely right. Please accept my loyal worship, respected Lord Oracle, I am the most hardworking and simple subject of the Dark Goddess. My name is Tu, please let me listen to your orders, I am willing to dedicate my everything to the God, including my life and soul."
Faith was a kind of poison.
Long Chen saw this from the young man's fanatical eyes.
However, all this might have nothing to do with him. He only wanted to take away the statue of the Goddess of Darkness.
He still did not immediately get close to the young man but continued to look at him coldly.
Tu knelt on the ground and quickly said, "Lord Oracle, please save my Black Rock Tribe. I went to the Black Smoke Tribe this time to ask for help. Our Black Rock Tribe is about to be attacked by a group of savage beasts. Time is running out. If we are too slow and the savage beasts enter the tribe, there will definitely be heavy casualties. There will definitely be a large number of the Goddess' citizens who will be swallowed by the savage beasts. Tu begs Oracle, please go to my Black Rock Tribe and save my tribe."
What a coincidence.
No wonder these three fellows were in a hurry and were heading in the direction of the Black Smoke Tribe. Who would have thought that this was the reason …
"If I were to head there rashly, I wouldn't be able to prove my identity as a God Envoy. However, if I were to perform outstandingly when the savage beasts attack the city, I would definitely be able to win the hearts of the people. By then... obtaining the sculpture of the Dark Goddess would be as easy as catching a turtle in a jar."
There was no way he would let such a great opportunity slip by.
In fact, every success was inseparable from luck, talent, and perseverance.
Long Chen possessed talent and perseverance. In terms of luck, he was especially outstanding as well. For example, he happened to possess the Lingxi Sword that could kill Primordial Spirits, and he happened to encounter the savage beasts attacking the city.
All of these would become the key to his success.
Everyone had luck. The problem was whether or not they dared to seize this opportunity. Long Chen was a daring person. After thinking carefully and confirming that there were no loopholes, his cold eyes finally relaxed a little. He said, "Your name is Tu."
Seeing that Long Chen was finally not so hostile, Tu was extremely excited and hurriedly said, "Yes, God Envoy."
Long Chen continued to ask, "Are there really savage beasts that are going to attack the Black Rock Tribe?"
Tu hurriedly said, "Yes, the black-robed priest has already calculated that within three days, there will definitely be savage beasts attacking the city. Only barbarian generals and above can deal with the savage beasts. Not even the Nine-fanged Warriors can do it. Once the savage beasts break into the tribe, there will definitely be heavy casualties and people will be plunged into misery and suffering."
"Oh," Long Chen uttered.
He acted as if he was hesitating.
Tu once again knelt on the ground and hurriedly kowtowed. He said, "God Envoy, the lives of the Survivors of Darkness are in your hands. Tu begs you to save us."
Long Chen helped him up and asked seriously, "But, have you thought about one thing?"
Tu doubtfully asked, "What is it?"
Long Chen said, "In fact, I am a human. My ancestors invaded this place tens of thousands of years ago and brought a great disaster to you. You still have a deep hatred for me. I don't know why I suddenly appeared in this place, but I have to complete the task of killing the savage beasts. However, along the way, I have become the target of the Survivors of Darkness. If you ask me to go to the Black Rock Tribe, I am afraid I will be killed."
Tu's face was dull.
He was digesting what Long Chen had said.
To be honest, he also hated the former human race, but the fact was that Long Chen had just saved him.
Long Chen's words were very mythical. It sounded like he was chosen by the Goddess of Darkness to save the Survivors of Darkness, but he did not know why it sounded more real. Tu was quickly confused by Long Chen. He reacted and said loudly, "This must be the will of the Goddess. Curisila, you suddenly appeared here and are willing to help us kill the savage beasts. The Goddess must have sent you. Don't worry, you are the God Envoy. I swear to protect you with my life. Without my consent, no one can touch you. I want them to see all the savage beasts fall under your sword and die one by one, instead of endlessly regenerating and continuing to attack the city."
He succeeded.
Seeing the young man's fanatical eyes, Long Chen knew that he had succeeded.
This was much better than Soul Control because he had succeeded in making the young man completely believe in him and be willing to fight for him.
The status of the Son of Darkness was very high. He was the person closest to the Gods. With his approval and support, coupled with Tu's fanning of the flames, there was no problem at all.
Long Chen hesitated for a while before he finally said, "If that's the case, I'll accompany you to the Black Lava Tribe. However, I'm a man of principle and I don't want to do things that are strenuous and unrewarding. If you don't care about the consequences and want to attack me, I will definitely not stay."
"Yes, I promise you that you are the Oracle. No one dares to blaspheme the Gods." Tu was extremely excited.
It was done.
"God Envoy, please follow me. I will lead the way for you."
Long Chen's eyes were cold as he followed the other party. This time, he wanted to walk into the Blackrock tribe openly.
This was an opportunity and also a challenge.
"How dare you."
In the Dragon Dance Hall, many people said this.
Some were praising, while others mocked Long Chen for not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth.
"I feel that this fellow is too risky and not reliable. He is not suitable to be the Saint Martial Emperor. He is just a gambler," someone said.
Another person laughed and said, "Could it be that a mediocre person with no ability to make decisions and no guts is more suitable to be the Holy Martial Emperor? I think that a wolf-like leader is much stronger than a sheep-like leader."
Everyone had their own opinions and the debate was endless. Long Chen had successfully become the topic of discussion, but in fact, there were not many people who thought highly of him. In the process of Long Chen's advancement, Feng Zhilin had already approached the statue of the Goddess of Darkness several times. She even almost succeeded once.
As for Yang Chen, he was still waiting for the most suitable opportunity.
This level of endurance was not bad.
Currently, the biggest variable was Long Chen.
On the way back to the Blackrock tribe, Long Chen conversed with Tu, trying to understand the structure of the Remnants of Darkness from their conversation.
From their conversation, Long Chen knew that there was a main tribe among the Remnants of Darkness. In this tribe, there were more than three black-clothed priests and a barbarian king who was comparable to a martial venerable.
The barbarian king was the ruler of the eight major tribes.
In the Blackrock tribe, the highest leader was a black-clothed priest. Tu's father was a grey-clothed priest. Among the grey-clothed priests, he was considered relatively strong. Long Chen estimated that he should be as strong as Wenren Jingtao.
In the Blackrock tribe, there were about three grey-clothed priests who could defeat him head-on, and a black-clothed priest who could kill him instantly. These were all dangerous forces.
As for the other grey-clothed priests, they should not be underestimated. They were rather dangerous.
As for the barbarian general, he was not a threat.
When approaching the Blackrock tribe, Long Chen said in a deep voice, "Tu, why do you believe me? I am a human."
"I don't know. Maybe it's intuition." The dark-skinned Son of Darkness smiled lightly.
In the distance, the Blackrock Tribe was shrouded in a black fog. That sturdy fortress blocked Long Chen's line of sight. This was a fortress that had been built for generations. All of it was made of sturdy materials and was extraordinary. Adding on the guards, it was able to block the advance of a portion of the savage beasts.
However, this fortress was not completely sealed.
Long Chen asked, "If there are wild beasts that can fly, wouldn't they be able to reach the tribe directly from the sky?"
Tu said, "Yes, but there are very few wild beasts that can fly. Any wild beast that can fly is very terrifying. Our tribesmen guard this place tightly every day. They don't relax for even a minute because this concerns the lives of the entire tribe."
Long Chen had a general understanding of the situation.
It was also because of the harsh living environment that the Remnants of Darkness had not discovered it even after so many years. In fact, their talent and foundation were stronger than most of the human race. They were even more favored by the heavens.
"Sir Oracle, don't worry. They are very easy to talk to. I will explain to them clearly." Tu said decisively as they approached.
Long Chen nodded.
The two of them approached the Blackrock tribe. Soon, from the foot of the mountain to the top, some Remnants of Darkness discovered Long Chen and Tu from afar.
The moment they saw Long Chen's appearance, all the Remnants of Darkness became excited.
"Human race, devil."
No one knew who was the first to shout, but the entire fortress was in an uproar. A large number of experts soared into the sky and rushed in Long Chen's direction.
Long Chen discovered that the gravity in the sky was extremely strong in the Dark Nation. It was very difficult to stabilize one's body in the sky. It was a bit like the situation in the Tiewei Mountain ruins in the Eternal Hell.
Generally speaking, it was best to fight on the ground. Long Chen would not choose to rush into the sky.
Not only the wild beasts, but also ordinary warriors would find it difficult to maintain stability in the sky.
