God's Gift

The priest was on the verge of collapse and could not understand why the messenger sent by God would do this.

Lu Keming withdrew his hand and glanced at the priest calmly, "You don't need to care so much."

After saying that, Lu Keming turned and left. The Blue Dragon members stayed at the altar to clean up the mess, while the priest gritted his teeth and followed Lu Keming.

Only after Lu Keming left completely did Shen Minghua and the others get a chance to breathe a sigh of relief. Shen Minghua looked at Lu Keming's back with his fists clenched.

Sooner or later, he will defeat Lu Keming.

-

On the other side, the priest followed closely behind Lu Keming, entangled with this puzzling question for him.

"Sir, you will kill many people like this!"

Lu Keming stopped and turned his back to the priest, "So what."

"Sir, how can you think like this?" The priest was shocked when he heard Lu Keming's words.

Sparse green flames emerged from the surrounding soil, and the flickering flames were reflected in Lu Keming's eyes, but he said nothing.

The priest stood behind Lu Keming. After a long time without receiving a response, the disappointment in his eyes became more and more obvious. He said firmly: "You betrayed the gods!"

Lu Keming raised his hand and fiddled with his slender white fingers, with undisguised contempt in his eyes.

He put the priest behind him, ignored him, and continued walking forward.

The lacquered leather boots stepped on the charred fallen leaves, crushing them into dust.

The priest behind him was silent for a long time, as if he had made a decision. He took out a knife from his arms and stabbed towards Lu Keying.

The blade cut through the air, and the sound of footsteps fell into Lu Keming's ears.

He stopped and sighed softly.

The sharp blade pierced into the inky black robe, but did not cause the feeling of piercing the flesh as the priest had expected.

Instead, it was like stabbing into iron or stone, unable to penetrate even a little bit.

The priest's face showed surprise and confusion.

Lu Keming turned around slowly, and the priest could see his appearance clearly.

Dark brown rugged scales climbed up from his robe, wrapped around his neck, and turned into smaller scales at his jaw.

His eyes also turned into golden vertical pupils, and he looked at the priest without any emotion.

The scales and vertical pupils belonged to some vicious animal, definitely not human.

The priest was greatly distraught and turned and fled in panic.

Lu Keying stretched out his hand and attacked the priest's chest.

The priest felt a sharp pain in his chest. When he lowered his head, he found that his complicated robe was stained with blood and there was a big hole in the middle.

The priest stared blankly at the hand that pierced his chest.

To be more precise, it cannot be called a hand, but should be called a claw, like the claws of a lizard or an eagle.

Layers of hard scales covered the knuckles, with sharp finger shells on the top, and a bright red, bleeding heart lying in the middle of the claws.

The priest opened his mouth, but could only utter a few broken syllables.

His eyes widened and he fell down with a bang.

Lu Keming looked down at the priest condescendingly, with no emotion in his golden vertical pupils.

He looked at the priest as if he were looking at a dying dog, a plant, or a stone.

As indifferent as a cold and inhuman stone statue.

Two seconds later.

The scales on his body gradually faded away and sank into his skin.

The cold white knuckles were stained red with blood, and the blood dripped between the fingertips into the charred soil.

After a long time, the sound of dry branches being trampled was heard in the woods.

Lu Keming raised his eyelids and looked indifferently at the Pope in front of him.

He arrived a little late, and Lu Keming had already fully recovered his human form.

But even though he was facing a bloody murder scene and the person being killed was his priest, the Pope did not show any panic or fear.

"Lord God's Messenger."

Lu Keming casually threw the heart in his hand to the ground, slowly took out a white handkerchief, and slowly and carefully wiped the blood off his hands.

"He's dead." The Pope looked at the priest who had lost his heart and murmured, then a crazy smile appeared on his face, "No one can stop me."

"Sir, you will help me get the Hellfire, right?" The Pope looked at Lu Keming, with undisguised desire in his eyes.

Even if it is the fire from hell, so what? The power to revive all things should naturally belong to him.

The indifference in Lu Keming's eyes had not yet faded, and he looked at the Pope without a trace of emotion.

This is a pope who has betrayed the Church.

Those owners of the Black Dahlia.

The wolfish ambition is obvious and exposed nakedly.

Lu Keming didn't answer quickly.

His eyes were like calm, deep water, without any ripples.

After a few seconds, Lu Keming nodded.

A look of joy appeared on the Pope's face, and his delusion of power made him look crazy.

-

After Lu Keming left, the mental suppression on Ye Li and the other two was released, and Shen Minghua supported the weak Ye Li.

Ye Li shook his head, "It's okay."

"What should we do now? The fire of hell has also been burning, and blessings cannot protect the village. Those monsters will surely attack the village soon and cannot protect the villagers. Both of our missions have failed." Fang Ziang sat on the ground, feeling that he could not see any hope.

Shen Minghua looked solemn, and felt a headache thinking about what he had experienced in the past few days.

While a few people were thinking, a sound of footsteps came from behind.

Ye Li turned back to look, only to find Yu Youyou, carrying a bag, stepping over a burned tree and walking towards them cautiously.

"Yu Youyou, where have you been?" Ye Li asked Yu Youyou with a serious expression.

Yu Youyou was stunned for a second and pointed behind her, "I just went to get some water, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Look at the fire of hell!" Fang Ziang struggled to get up from the ground and walked tremblingly to Yu Youyou. "Since you know that what is burning here is not the fire of hell but blessings, why don't you tell us?"

"You didn't ask me." Yu Youyou was dazed and couldn't understand Fang Ziang's questioning.

"If we don't ask you, you won't tell us!" Fang Ziang covered his head in despair.

Yu Youyou nodded seriously, "You don't even ask me, how should I know what you want to know?"

"Ah!" Fang Ziang yelled with a headache, "So you're just going to watch our mission fail?"

Yu Youyou looked at Fang Ziang with a strange expression.

She just didn't say it, so how could she just watch the mission fail?

She is clearly working hard to push the plot forward.

"It's not Yuyou's fault." Shen Minghua didn't know what Yu Yuyou was thinking, and sighed, "It's true that we were too careless. We knew Lu Keming was cunning, but we still trusted him."

After hearing Shen Minghua's words, Ye Li, who originally wanted to say something, gave up preaching to Youyou.

"Yu Youyou, how do you know that the fire in the forest is a blessing?" Ye Li stared at Yu Youyou, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

"Because it feels the same as the blessing you held in your hand last time." Yu Youyou walked to the side of the group and tried hard to stuff the water bottle in her hand into her small bag.

"You just feel that it is a blessing?" Ye Li's expression was hard to describe.

She couldn't understand Yu Youyou's way of judging things based on her feelings, and she couldn't understand why Yu Youyou's feelings were actually right.

Yu Youyou nodded without hesitation.

Shen Minghua sighed.

"But we are about to fail our mission. What's the point of saying this now?" Fang Ziang wanted to bang his head on the ground. If the trial results were any worse, his mother would definitely make fun of him.

"Why did it fail?" Yu Youyou looked at Fang Ziang, "Isn't it a good thing that the fire of hell has been ignited?"

"Can the burning of Hell be considered a good thing?" Fang Ziang's eyes widened, looking at Yu Youyou with disappointment, "If the burning of Hell is started, our first mission will fail, the blessing will also be extinguished, monsters will soon invade the village, and the mission of protecting the villagers will also fail."

Yu Youyou looked at the pessimistic Fang Ziang as if he were a fool and patted him on the shoulder.

“My mother once said that to get rid of a seed buried in the ground, you first have to make it grow.”

As soon as Yu Youyou said this, Fang Ziang raised his head and said with sudden realization: "It seems so."

After hearing Yu Youyou's words, Shen Minghua and Ye Li looked at the intelligent computer at the same time and found that there was no prompt of mission failure.

They originally thought that the notification was delayed, but now it seems that there is still hope.

Ye Li looked at Yu Youyou deeply.
