Sky Shadow.

Summary

After An Ran left the battlefield, Lu Chen and A Tu were taken by the Black Fire Tribe into the wilderness, facing hostile gazes from the warriors. A Tu reacted fiercely to the disdainful looks directed at Lu Chen, while the warriors admired A Tu, seeing him as a magnificent beast wasted on a human. They rested in a peculiar yew forest, where Huo Yan questioned Lu Chen about his background. Despite Huo Yan's brutish nature, he suppressed his rage and engaged in conversation, revealing the Black Fire Tribe's glorious history and their connection to powerful shamans known as Fire Shamans. Lu Chen fabricated a story about finding the Fire God Staff in a destroyed village, which deeply moved the warriors, shifting their hostility towards him to admiration. Huo Yan, still skeptical, asked how Lu Chen crossed the Confusion Land, prompting another fabricated tale involving ferocious beasts and a mysterious light from the Fire God Staff. The warriors, believing his story, performed a tribute to the Fire God. As they continued their journey, the warriors treated Lu Chen with newfound respect, viewing the Fire God Staff as a divine artifact. Huo Yan attempted to activate the staff, hoping to connect with the Fire God, but it remained unresponsive, leading to speculation about Lu Chen's role in the tribe's future.
