When Xia Qiu regained consciousness, he no longer knew where he was.

It was a place where the landscape was so different from the world she knew it to, where the sky was pitch black and there wasn't a single star in the sky except for a blood moon. The temperature was so hot that my lungs seemed to burn up at any moment when I breathed, and my feet seemed to be scorched in no time.

But although everything here made Xia Qiu uncomfortable for the newcomer, it did not affect her normal movements, and she observed the scenery around her as she walked, her eyes full of curiosity. The black earth beneath your feet is so hard that no plants can grow out of it, and from time to time there are large craters that sink down, and the whole surrounding environment looks very barren.

After walking for a while, a forest suddenly appeared in front of me, and the canopy of these brown-red trees was umbrella-shaped, with a very high trunk, a full 100 meters, and the canopies were closely connected, keeping the heat out. The moment she stepped into the woods, she suddenly felt like she had stepped into another world. The temperature in the dense forest is pleasant, the air is humid, the ground is no longer hot, and occasionally several strange but unnamed small animals appear. They didn't seem to be able to see Xia Qiu, and they were still leisurely eating the fruits that fell from the trees as she passed.

"Whew!"

After a wolf howl, Xia Qiu heard what seemed to be a group of animals running in her direction at great speed, and she subconsciously dodged behind a row of low bushes, waiting for the figure that was about to appear. Soon, the black wolf group stopped not far in front of her, and the black wolf suddenly transformed into a tall man, he had long black hair, and his hair and beard were braided into small braids, which looked like a black fall from a distance.

The man said impassionedly, "Those outsiders are still lurking by the Solang Spring, and they are bent on starting a war and taking over our planet. We Black Wolf Clan are originally a peaceful race, and we have lived peacefully in this dark land to this day, absorbing only the energy we need from nature to maintain the life of this planet. And the outsiders killed our kindred, burned our forests, robbed us of the water we needed to survive, and drove us deeper into the forest. Their greed and cruelty had awakened Mimaram, who had been sleeping for a long time, and I could feel her anger, as did Meadow, who told me that the earth was about to burn, that the air was about to boil, that our world was in danger, and that there was no way to return to it. ”

"Whew!"

The wolves around him roared at the same moment, their cries were like howling, so that the listener could also feel the sadness in their hearts, and then one by one they transformed into human forms, but their whimpering did not stop. It wasn't until the man who had first transformed into a human form raised his hand that they finally fell silent.

The man encouraged his people: "Don't be sad, my brother, my sister! Death is inevitable no matter how long or short our lives are, but until then we have to fight against those foreign predators, even if it is to die with them, at all costs, so that we can put an end to the evil of those demons and leave them without the opportunity to harm others. ”

Suddenly, a young female black wolf appeared, and she ran up to the man surrounded by everyone, and said to him excitedly: "Diba, my esteemed chief, Meadow's child has been born!" ”

"Poor boy, he came at an inopportune time." When the man heard this, an extremely complicated expression appeared on his face, and he was first happy, but then he was endlessly sad.

"In any case, as the hard-won newborn of the Black Wolf Clan, we have to hold a blessing ceremony for him." An older woman took a step forward and offered to the others.

"Yes, we are going to pray for him together."

"Yes, this ceremony must take place."

"Diba, let's get ready!"

Other tribesmen agreed.

The man known as Diba nodded, and returned to his wolf form, and his people joined him in the form of wolves, leading them to run deep into the forest.

Xia Qiu followed, wondering if she had seen what had happened in the past on another planet through her soul, and her intuition told her that it all had something to do with Blackfall. When she was in a state of detachment, her body was very light in running, and after traversing the entire dense forest, she finally found the clearing where the black wolf clan lived.

Tents made of leather were neatly arranged in the clearing, and warm orange lights emanated from the tents, and many male black wolf people patrolled around the clearing, observing the movements of outsiders. The female black wolf clan prepares dinner outside the tent, and according to their custom, the blessing ceremony of the newborn is followed by the time of the revelry of all the black wolf clan. Each of them will serve a dish of food to share with the rest of the clan, and then pass on this peaceful atmosphere like a big family to the newborn child, who will feel the warmth of the clan and the warmth of their patron goddess, Mimaram.

They knew in their hearts that this might be their last reunion, and although everyone had a smile on their faces, it was difficult to hide the sadness that hung over them.

Supported by two young girls, a beautiful woman came out of the tent, dressed in red, her black hair like a waterfall was adorned with blue and white beads, her cherry lips and apricot eyes were full of aura, and her calm face was noble. She was Diba's wife, Medo, and in her bosom the newborn baby was tightly wrapped, revealing only a small white face, and his eyelashes were long, and he did not cry or make a fuss, and looked curiously at the people who were gathered around.

Everyone wanted to see the newborn up close, and they stood beside him and sang a song for him, and the blessing ceremony began naturally.

Mei Duo walked slowly with the baby in her arms, and no matter which tribesman she passed, he or she would sing a line, and their lyrics seemed to contain the past and present of the Black Wolf Clan and the planet.

"There is no day in the dark earth."

"We haven't seen the stars."

"Our ancestors told us that it was called Blackfall."

"Flame Goddess, Mimaram."

"Give her own body."

"She turned her hair into a dense forest, and her tears into springs."

"Her heart is a volcano."

"Protect us, bless us."

"For thousands of years, life has been endless."

"But now ......"

A dissonant high note suddenly appears, turning the mood around the whole song.

"But now, foreign enemies are invading."

"Death hangs over the land."

"Burning, killing and looting is just a prelude."

"They want us, slavery."

"Children of Mimaram, lift up noble faces."

"Confront our fierce enemies and destroy their ambitions."

"Look at that newborn child, how pure, how beautiful."

"Goddess, please give us the last of your strength."

"Let us no longer be afraid of evil coming."

"Let's fight them to the end."

"O Goddess, if thou hearest thy spirit, apparition thou shalt manifest thy spirit."

"A name for the blessing of newborns."

As the singing stopped, all eyes turned to Medo, who was not only the wife of the leader of the clan, Diba, but also the shrine maiden of the clan, a woman who could hear Mimaram's voice and convey her message.

Meadow handed the child to another young woman beside her, and she fell to her knees solemnly, her ears pressed to the ground, and she closed her eyes and listened quietly to Mimaram's voice.

"Blackfall, she's going to name the planet's name for me and Diba's children." She opened her eyes and said to the others, "Wait, Mimaram has other things to say. ”

Meadow suddenly stood up, her feet off the ground, her hair turning into a raging flame, her eyes burning continuously, her voice resounding through the clearing, and the earth trembling with her.

"It's going to be a terrible battle, it's beyond your imagination. You will overcome the outsiders, but you will not escape death. However, the Black Wolf Clan will not disappear, and I will give Blackfall all my blessings in my own power, and he will survive well elsewhere, and as a survivor of the Black Wolf Clan, he will always remember how his parents and his people bravely faced the challenges of the demons. Earn him a chance to live, there is a black boulder at the foot of the flaming volcano, take him to that rock, I will embed him in the boulder, and send them together to the other side of the universe. ”

When Meadow had finished speaking, her feet fell back to the ground, and her hair and eyes returned to normal. Diba came over and hugged his wife, and the message on Mimaram's behalf was very physically exhausting for her, who had just finished giving birth.

"Diba, our most respected leader, we must protect this child according to what Mimaram said, this child is our hope, his arrival is a legend in itself, the Black Wolf Clan has not had a baby for a long time, but he came here at this time, I believe this is the will of the goddess." An old man in the clan said.

"yes, Diba. We've all lived in comfort for too long, forgetting that the Black Wolf Clan actually has great power, so let's use this power to protect the Black Fall. The young people agreed.

"Alright! Once the ceremony is over, a warrior will be in charge of bringing Blackfall to the foot of the flaming volcano, and I will join the rest of my clan to distract the demons from outside, who wants to accept the task of escorting Blackfall? Diba looked at the people beside him.

A young man walked out, much thinner than the rest of the people, and therefore inconspicuous, and everyone looked at him suspiciously, but he calmly said, "I am very agile and familiar with a path to the flaming volcano. I am not afraid of outsiders, and even if they are right in front of me, I will pass through them like a ghost and deliver Blackfall to its destination safe and sound. ”

Meadow, who had been in Diba's arms, recovered a little, let go of one of the arms that was wrapping around her, patted the boy on the shoulder, and said, "Ghost Cloth, he has the sharpest sense of observation, and I believe he can accomplish this task." ”

"But he is too young to have limited experience...... "There are still people who are worried.

"The enemies we face are more evil than ever, they are unlike any creature we know, so courage is more important than experience. No matter how weak an individual may seem, as long as he has extraordinary courage, he will be able to create miracles. ”

Diba cast a trusting glance at Onibu.
