When Xia Qiu regained consciousness again, he no longer knew where he was.
It was a place whose landscape was vastly different from the world she was familiar with. The sky here was as dark as ink, and there was not a single star in the sky except for a blood moon. The temperature was unbearably hot. When I breathed, my whole lungs seemed to be burning at any time, and my feet on the ground seemed to be scorched soon.
But although everything here made Xia Qiu, who had just arrived, feel uncomfortable, it did not affect her normal actions. She observed the scenery around her while walking, her eyes full of curiosity. The black soil underfoot was extremely hard, so no plants could grow from such soil. From time to time, large sunken pits would appear, and the entire surrounding environment seemed very barren.
After walking for a while, a forest suddenly appeared in front of us. The crowns of these brown-red trees were umbrella-shaped. The trunks were very high, a hundred meters high. The crowns were closely connected, insulating the heat from the outside. The moment she stepped into the woods, she suddenly seemed to have entered another world. The temperature in the dense forest is pleasant, the air is humid, and the ground is no longer hot. Occasionally, there will be several strange small animals that cannot be named. They seemed invisible to Xia Qiu, and were still leisurely eating the fruits that fell from the trees when she passed by.
"Ouch!"
After a wolf howl, Xia Qiu heard what seemed like a group of animals running very fast in her direction. She subconsciously hid behind a row of bushes, waiting for the figure that was about to appear. Soon, the black wolves stopped not far in front of her. The leading black wolf suddenly transformed into a tall man with long black hair, and his hair and beard were braided into small braids. From a distance, the outline looks very much like Black Meteor.
The man said impassionedly: "Those outsiders are still lurking by the Solang Spring. They want to start a war and occupy our planet. Our black wolf tribe is a group that advocates peace and lives peacefully in this dark land. So far, we only absorb the energy we need from nature to maintain the life of this planet. But those outsiders are killing our fellow humans, burning our forests, robbing the water sources we depend on for survival, and pushing us step by step. Deep into the jungle. Their greed and cruelty have awakened Mimalam, who has been sleeping for a long time. I can feel her anger, and so does Mei Duo. She told me that the earth is about to burn, the air is about to boil, and our world is in danger. , and there is no way to recover.”
"Ouch!"
The wolves surrounding him looked up to the sky and roared at the same moment. Their cries were like howls, allowing the listener to feel their inner sadness. Then they transformed into human forms one after another, but their whimpers Still didn't stop. It wasn't until the man who first transformed into a human form raised his hand that they finally became quiet.
The man encouraged his tribe: "Don't be sad, my brothers, my sisters! No matter how long our lives are, death will come sooner or later, but before that, we must fight bloody battles with those foreign plunderers at all costs." , even if we die together with them, only in this way can we end the sins of those demons and prevent them from harming other people."
Suddenly, another young female black wolf appeared. She ran to the man surrounded by people and said excitedly to him: "Diba, my respected leader, Medo's child is born!"
"Poor child, he came at the wrong time." After hearing this, the man responded with an extremely complicated expression on his face. He was happy at first, but then he was filled with endless sadness.
"No matter what, as the hard-won newborn of the Black Wolf Clan, we must hold a blessing ceremony for him." An older woman took a step forward and suggested to the others.
"Yes, we want to pray for him together."
"Yes, this ceremony must be held."
"Diba, let's get ready!"
Other tribesmen also expressed their agreement.
The man called Diba nodded and turned back into the wolf form. His tribesmen also transformed into wolves with him, and ran deep into the dense forest under his leadership.
Xia Qiu also followed. She imagined that she had seen what happened on another planet in the past through Soul Li, and her intuition told her that it was all related to Black Meteor. When she was in a state of soul separation, her body was very light while running. After running through the entire dense forest, she finally found the clearing where the black wolves lived.
Tents made of leather are neatly arranged in the open space. Warm orange light shines from the tents. Many male black wolf tribe members patrol around the open space, observing the movements of outsiders. The female Black Wolf clan members were preparing dinner outside the tent. According to their custom, after the blessing ceremony for the newborn, it was a carnival moment for the entire Black Wolf clan. Each family will serve a delicacy and share it with other tribesmen, and then pass on this peaceful atmosphere like a big family to the newborn child, allowing him to feel the warmth of the tribe and the connection with their patron goddess Mimara Tom's enthusiasm.
They knew in their hearts that this might be their last happy reunion. Although everyone's face was filled with smiles, it was difficult to hide the sadness surrounding them.
With the support of two young girls, a beautiful woman walked out of the tent. She was dressed in red. Her waterfall-like black hair was dotted with blue and white beads. Her cherry lips and almond-shaped eyes were full of aura, and she looked calm. There was nobility on his face. She is Diba's wife Mei Duo, and in her arms, the newborn baby is wrapped tightly, only showing its white and tender face. His eyelashes are very long, he neither cries nor fusses, and watches curiously. The tribesmen gathered around.
Everyone wanted to see the newborn up close. They stood beside him and sang songs for him, and the blessing ceremony began naturally.
Mei Duo walked slowly with the baby in her arms. No matter which clan member passed by, he or she would sing a line. Their lyrics seemed to contain the past and present of the Black Wolf clan and this planet.
"There is no day in the dark earth."
"We have never seen stars."
"The ancestors told us that it is called Black Meteor."
"Goddess of Fire, Mimaram."
"Giving her body."
"She turned her hair into a dense forest, and her tears into spring water."
"Her heart is a volcano."
"Guard us, bless us."
"For thousands of years, life and death have continued."
"But now..."
A dissonant high note suddenly appears, turning the mood of the entire song on its head.
"But now, foreign enemies have invaded."
"Death hangs over the land."
"Burning, killing and looting is just the prelude."
"They want us to be slaves."
"Children of Mimaram, raise your noble face."
"Confront our formidable enemies and destroy their ambitions."
"Look at the newborn child, how pure and beautiful it is."
"Goddess, please give us your final strength."
"Let us no longer fear the coming of evil."
"Let us fight them to the end."
"Goddess, if you hear me, please show me."
“The name that gives blessing to newborns.”
The singing gradually stopped, and everyone's eyes turned to Mei Duo. In addition to being the wife of Diba, the leader of the tribe, she was also the witch of the tribe. The so-called witch was a woman who could hear Mimalam's voice and convey messages for her.
Meadow handed the child to another young woman beside her, and she knelt down solemnly on the ground. She put her ears to the ground, closed her eyes and listened quietly to the sound of Mimalam.
"Heiyun, she wants to name my and Diba's child after this planet." She opened her eyes and said to the others, "Wait, Mimalam has something else to say."
Mei Duo suddenly stood up, her feet came off the ground, her hair turned into blazing flames, and her eyes were constantly on fire. Her voice resounded throughout the open space, and the earth was shaking with her.
"This battle is bound to be tragic, which you cannot imagine. You will defeat the outsiders, but you will not escape the fate of death. However, the Black Wolf Clan will not disappear. I will give Black Meteor all my blessings with my own power. He will survive well elsewhere. 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. Give him a chance to live, in the fierce flames There is a black boulder at the foot of the volcano, take him to find that boulder, I will embed him in the boulder and send them both to the other end of the universe."
After Mei Duo finished speaking this long paragraph, her feet fell back to the ground, and her hair and eyes returned to normal. Diba came over and hugged his wife, relaying the message for Mimalam, which was very tiring for her who had just given birth.
"Diba, our most respected leader, we must protect this child as Mimaram said. This child is our hope. His arrival itself is a legend. The Black Wolf clan has not had a newborn for a long time. But he came here at this time. I believe this is the will of the goddess." said an old man in the tribe.
"Yes, Diba. We have all lived in comfort for too long and have forgotten that the Black Wolf Clan actually has powerful power. Let us use this power to protect Black Meteor." The young tribesman agreed.
"Okay! Once the ceremony is over, a warrior will be responsible for bringing Black Meteor to the foot of the Flame Volcano, and I will launch an attack with the remaining tribesmen on the outside demons and use this to distract them. Who Are you willing to accept the task of escorting Black Meteor?" Diba looked at the tribesmen beside him.
A young man came out. He was much thinner than other tribesmen, so he didn't stand out much. Everyone cast doubtful eyes on him, but he calmly said: "My body is very flexible, and I am familiar with a way to remove the flames." The path of the volcano. I am not afraid of those outsiders. Even if they are right in front of me, I will pass through them like a ghost and deliver the Black Meteor to its destination safely and intact."
Mei Duo in Diba's arms recovered a little. He loosened one of his arms around her, patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "Gui Bu, he has the most keen observation skills. I believe he can complete this task." task."
"But he is too young and has limited experience..." Some members of the tribe expressed concern.
"The enemies we face are unprecedentedly evil. They are different from any creature we know, so courage is more important than experience. No matter how weak an individual may seem, as long as they have extraordinary courage, they will surely succeed. Can work miracles.”
Diba cast a trusting look at Guibu.
