Chapter 1: The Dark Moon Strikes

The main state city is the only city in the West Pole Ridge, and it is especially important in this barren wasteland.

At sunset, the afterglow of the sunset falls on the main state city, which is particularly quiet and peaceful. The hustle and bustle of the city had subsided, and some of the vendors had packed up their stalls and were ready to go home. The shops are also mostly closed, ready to take stock of the day's harvest.

At the east gate, an old man was sweeping the floor, his hair was gray, his body was rickety, he was wearing a set of gray linen clothes, his movements were slow, and he had a faint smile on his face. A group of black-clad cavalry returned from patrol outside the city gates, and the first one was a strong, tall and burly man, about twenty-three or four years old. As a group of people approached the old man, the tall young man stopped and jumped off his mount. "Hey, old man, why are you sweeping the floor here again, I don't care if your body is broken. The young man said with a smile. "It's Xiaolinzi, hehe. The old man also responded with a smile on his face, "Why did you come back so late today?" "Alas, the beasts on the other side of the mountain are a little moving, let's investigate, but it's just a group of fire foxes from nowhere running into the mountains and causing chaos among some beasts, it's really ......" "Well, that's it." Come back with me. The old man still smiled. "By the way, old man, it's not in vain that I went to Dongshan today. The old man smiled and asked, "Hehe, you'll know when you go back later", and as he spoke, the young man hugged the old man on the back of the green and black wolf, turned over and sat on it, and took the old man home.

The couple's home is on the outskirts of the main state city, it is a bluestone house, not big or small, and the two of them are quite spacious if they live. As soon as he got home, the young man couldn't wait to take off his armor and run out again. After a while, when he came back, he threw the things he was carrying on the stone table in the room, and beckoned the old man to come over, crossed his hands on his hips, and said with a smile: "How is it, it is not bad." The old man looked at what was on the stone table, a small purple furry beast with a long, pointed head and short, thick limbs. "It's Aoi Ling. The old man laughed and said, "Xiaolinzi, you are really lucky. The young man smiled and said, "Haha, yes, old man! You go and stew soup with medicine, and let's make up for it." "Okay, okay, I'll go. Xiaolinzi, you are tired for a day, just lie here for a while, and call you when I finish the soup. ”

The old man took Kwai Ling in both hands and walked out the door. By this time it was already dark, and night was covering the land. The old man went out of the door, only to see the sky full of stars, turning in response, above the sky, the bright moon in the sky. He took advantage of the moonlight, carried the sunflower spirit, and walked out of the city, and soon arrived at the bank of a small stream, and began to peel and wash the sunflower spirit. Kwai Ling's whole body is a treasure, and Mao can also be stewed and boiled. The old man carefully washed Kwai Ling's hair with the stream water.

The moonlight continued to blow from the surface of the stream, illuminating the Kwai Ling in the old man's hand very clearly, and when the old man washed the Kwai Ling's head, he suddenly saw a faint mark on the head of Kwai Ling, which seemed to echo the moonlight. The old man sighed softly, brought Kwai Ling closer, and looked intently, and there was a tiny flame mark in the purple hair that glowed with a pale blue light. At this look, the old man couldn't help but shake his hands in fright, and the sunflower spirit in his hand fell into the stream, "This, this is ......"

The old man stumbled all the way home, opened the door and fell to the ground. At this time, Xiao Linzi had already woken up, hurriedly helped the old man, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, I want to eat Kwai Ling so much." He looked down at the old man, but saw that the old man was full of horror, so he hurriedly put away his smile and asked suspiciously: "What's the matter? What happened?" The old man didn't answer, but asked Xiao Linzi instead: "How did you catch that Kwai Ling?" "Kwai Ling, I didn't catch it, I picked it up in Dongshan." "Today you went on patrol in Dongshan and saw a group of firefoxes?" the horror on the old man's face gradually turned serious. "That's right. "How many are there, do you see clearly?" "It seems like five" "Do you see a different firefox?" "It's a little different, but I've seen it from afar, so I can't tell. "You just say you see something different. "Well, this one, it seems to be a little bigger than normal, and, and, and ......" "And what?" "I'm not sure either, but those firefoxes seem to have a pale blue light. After hearing this, the old man's face turned pale, and he sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, muttering to himself: "Can't be wrong, can't be wrong, it's the fox of doom, it's the fox of doom......" Xiao Linzi looked puzzled, and asked: "What's the matter? What is the fox of doom?" The old man didn't answer, and continued to mumble to himself: "The legend is true, it's true...... "Hey, old man, calm down, what legend? What is the fox of doom? You can make it clear!" "It's useless, don't make it clear, the memory of doom has awakened, and the catastrophe is coming." You go out and see, and you'll find out by looking at it. Xiao Linzi opened the door suspiciously and walked out.

In the dark night sky, a purple moon was eerily suspended, exuding a heavy and bewitching light. A mysterious power that seems to spread between heaven and earth, making people depressed, irritable, and panicked. Xiao Linzi ran back to the house, and was about to ask the old man, but saw the old man walking towards the door with a big bag on his back, and pressed his mouth with his thin hand. "Don't ask anything, I've packed my things, come with me. Xiao Linzi nodded, and the old man put his hand down and walked out first.

Under the purple moon, an old man and a young man sat on the back of the green and black wolf, dragging a long shadow and galloping away. After a while, Xiao Linzi woke up slowly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the old man sitting on the ground with his back to him. The blue-black wolf crawled beneath him, resting. That's when I realized that I had just fallen asleep. He said something careless, and he was glad that the old man was there. Thinking of everything that happened today, the old man's back suddenly became mysterious. While he was thinking, the old man turned to him and said, "Wake up, get up quickly, we must hurry west as soon as possible." Xiao Linzi came back to his senses and said, "Ah, yes." By the way, how long did I sleep?" "Five hours? It should be dawn. "During this time, you don't want to see the sunrise. Alright, let's go, it's time for us to hit the road. Xiao Linzi found that the old man didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask anymore, and the old man sat on the green gray wolf and went west.

On the way, Xiao Linzi sat behind the old man, in a trance, and only felt that everything that happened today was a dream. He couldn't help but ask again: "Why are we going west?" "Because that's where the emperor is." The old man replied suddenly, and then he stopped talking.
