Impoverished Tribe

"Master, be careful, the water is hot..."

Seeing Lu Chen directly put his hand into the boiling water, Xiao Wei tried to stop him, but immediately, she saw that Lu Chen's palm didn't change at all.

This turned the panic on Xiao Wei's face into astonishment.

Lu Chen ignored her reaction, took out a piece of meat, and began to tear into it with his large mouth.

His powerful strength allowed Lu Chen to tear through the meat quickly.

A large piece of wild boar meat, nearly twenty pounds, was devoured by Lu Chen in five minutes, leaving only a small bit.

Casually giving the remaining piece of meat to Xiao Wei, Lu Chen left the room.

"Clean up the room, I'm leaving first."

While walking outside, Lu Chen sighed.

"Although I was mentally prepared, boiled meat is really unpalatable. From the memories of the Barbarian youth A'Chen, I heard that merchants from the Central Plains come to the Barbarian Wasteland. Maybe I can trade with them for some seasonings."

Thinking this, Lu Chen followed his memories and quickly headed towards the Village Guard.

Lu Chen's timing was perfect. When he arrived, he found that most of the people were already there.

At the same time, the daytime Patrol Team members had also arrived at the guard to gather and get off work.

"A'Chen, you're here."

As soon as Lu Chen arrived and was looking around, someone greeted him.

From his memories, Lu Chen quickly recognized the person in front of him.

"Uncle Ya, you're here too."

"I just switched to the night shift, of course I'm here. You're lucky, kid. I heard from the Witch Doctor Master that you not only awakened your bloodline, but also reached the Barbarian Blood Warrior level today. You've really soared to the sky!"

"Soared to the sky? Barbarian Blood Warrior is just a starting point."

"That's true, but a Barbarian Blood Warrior is already considered a strong person in our village."

As he spoke, Uncle Ya pulled Lu Chen to a high platform next to the guard.

Pulling Lu Chen onto the high platform, Uncle Ya clapped his hands and said directly, "Everyone, stop for a moment and come over to meet the new Patrol Team leader. This is A'Chen. If you encounter danger while patrolling, you can ask him for help."

Entering the Night Patrol Team and immediately becoming a team leader, at such a young age, surprisingly, there wasn't much opposition from the Barbarian youths below.

It can only be said that although the Barbarians are savage, they are also very "simple."

Strength is justice, deeply rooted in the hearts of those Barbarians.

The status of Barbarians has always been obtained by strength, not age. Lu Chen's demonstrated strength today made the other Barbarians recognize his ability and believe that he was capable enough to become a team leader.

This made Lu Chen's rise to power a natural occurrence.

However, while others agreed, Lu Chen was a bit troubled.

"Uncle Ya, this isn't good. I just joined the Night Patrol Team and don't know much about the night taboos of the patrol team. Becoming a team leader like this, I feel like something will go wrong!"

The Night Patrol Team defends against the strange, not Barbarian Beasts.

At the same time, the methods of the strange are very bizarre. Therefore, dealing with the strange often doesn't just require strength, but also understanding the rules.

But the current Lu Chen only has strength and doesn't understand the night taboos at all. Letting him lead others, Lu Chen is very afraid that something will happen.

Hearing this, the strong man named Ya laughed.

"Don't worry, the Witch Doctor Master foresaw this. He already told me that you, as the team leader, will only manage two or three people for the next week. Don't worry, those people are all veterans. You can learn from them first, and after a week, you can truly take on the responsibilities of a team leader."

"Oh, thank you, Uncle Ya."

"Don't thank me, thank the Witch Doctor Master. He's the one who told me to do this."

"The Witch Doctor Master!"

Thinking of the Witch Doctor, Lu Chen also thought of the Witch Doctor's kindness to him these past few days.

This is all favor, but I can't repay it yet. Strive to become stronger. The Witch Doctor Master's wish should be for the village to be peaceful, and only strength can achieve that.

Thinking in his heart, Lu Chen's face remained calm.

Barbarians did not stand on much ceremony. Even with Lu Chen becoming a squad leader, a simple notification to the others sufficed.

Following that, he entered the armory to get his weapon.

"Just became a squad leader, you can receive a piece of animal skin clothing and a weapon. Choose well and register it. Remember, the weapon is something you will use for life, so choose carefully."

This wasn't Lu Chen's first time entering the armory. He had been here once before when he became a patrolman.

However, back then, Lu Chen entered the storeroom for ordinary warriors, while this time, he was entering the storeroom for Barbarian Blood Warriors. There were some differences between the two.

"Hopefully, I can find a good longsword."

With this thought, Lu Chen entered the armory for Barbarian Blood Warriors, but three minutes later, Lu Chen's expression turned somewhat unsightly.

"As expected of barbarians, so poor. There are too few steel weapons here."

Yes, poor. Only after entering the storeroom did Lu Chen realize that the barbarians were truly poor.

In that storeroom that could be called an armory, many weapons were made of bone or stone, with very few steel weapons.

And that was just the weapons. As for armor, it was even more miserable. Here, leather clothing sewn with a few pieces of iron was already the best armor. As for a full set of steel armor, there was none here.

"In the future, I'll see if I can find a batch of weapons. The stuff here is too rotten."

Although it was terrible, Lu Chen still carefully selected for the night battle.

After a while, Lu Chen looked at a black weapon with some surprise.

"This is actually an iron sword!"

It wasn't Lu Chen's fault for being surprised. It could only be said that the iron sword in front of him was truly beyond Lu Chen's expectations.

Sword-type weapons followed the path of lightness and skill.

At the same time, sword-type weapons relied on sharpness to kill, but the black iron sword in front of him was obviously somewhat unexpected.

From the shape of the iron sword, it could be seen that the person who forged this weapon was thinking of forging it into an iron sword.

However, it was possible that the fire temperature was not high enough, or that the forger's strength was insufficient. In short, the iron sword in front of him eventually became something like an iron rod. The edges on both sides were a full five centimeters thick, with no sharpness at all.

But in the end, Lu Chen still chose this weapon.

There was no other way. Most of the weapons in the storeroom were like this. There were no exquisite weapons at all.

"Nicked, stone, wrapped in iron, none of the weapons here are good. The material of this weapon is not bad, at least it's heavy enough to be used as an iron rod."

Yes, Lu Chen, who had no other choice, was already prepared to use this weapon as an iron rod.

In this way, wearing animal skin clothes sewn with a few pieces of iron, and holding a "iron sword" about one meter eight in length, Lu Chen walked out of the storeroom and registered.

Seeing Lu Chen dressed like this, especially the weapon in his hand, the strong man managing the storeroom opened his mouth in surprise and said, "Why did you take this sword? Besides being heavy, it's useless."

To this, Lu Chen was somewhat helpless.

"I also wanted a good weapon, but the things inside are too rotten."

"This one is at least heavy enough to smash people. I'm strong, so it's just right for me to use something heavy."
