God's Gift

Several people returned to their residence.

"Those monsters want to kill the villagers. If we want to protect the villagers, we must kill the monsters."

Shen Minghua was standing in the hall, analyzing things carefully.

"But the Hellfire keeps resurrecting the monsters. If the Hellfire cannot be extinguished, then we cannot kill the monsters."

Ye Li nodded, "So our two tasks, protecting the villagers and extinguishing the hellfire, are actually the same in essence. Both require us to extinguish the hellfire."

Now the question comes back to the beginning: how should the fire of hell be extinguished?

Today the fires of Hell have broken out of the ground and are stronger than ever.

This method of offering sacrifices to the villagers will definitely not work.

Ye Li placed his hands on the table, frowning, "What should I do?"

Shen Minghua stared at the map of the village, which showed their newly drawn forest terrain.

His sight was fixed on the blood tree he first saw in the forest, and he looked up at Ye Li, "Ye Li, what do you think this blood tree is? Is it related to blessing or hellfire?"

Ye Li frowned. She didn't care much about the blood tree at first, but now she felt that everything was very strange.

In the center of the blessed flame, there grows a blood tree.

If, as they initially believed, those blessed flames were hellfire, then it would not be surprising that there was a blood tree growing in the center.

But the flame is a blessing, and the existence of the blood tree is incompatible with the blessing.

Blessings will not absorb spiritual energy, but the blood tree will, which means that the blood tree is not a blessing.

It's supposed to be about the fire of hell.

Ye Li thought for a long time and speculated: "The blessing flame near the blood tree burns the most vigorously. If the blessing is suppressing the hellfire, that place may be the center of the hellfire."

Coupled with the wildly growing grass and trees around, it is clearly the power of hellfire.

"That may be the key to extinguishing the fire of hell." Fang Ziang concluded after listening.

Yu Youyou sat on the chair, put her chin on the table, and stared at the map with interest.

There were always such maps on the shipwrecks in the past.

"Maybe we can find a way to extinguish the fire of hell by going there." Shen Minghua's voice was low. Although he had found a new way out, he did not look happy.

Ye Li and Fang Ziang were both silent.

They all still clearly remembered the weirdness of that place. The blood tree's absorption of spiritual energy made it impossible for them to get close.

For a moment, it seemed that they had reached a dead end again.

Yu Youyou looked at the people with different expressions, her eyes rolled around, and she raised her hand actively, "I'll go, I'll go."

Ye Li glanced at Yu Youyou, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Shen Minghua, "Then let's let the members without spiritual power go."

The dark clouds on Shen Minghua's face dissipated a little, "Okay."

Yu Youyou waved her hands and gestured frantically, "Me, me, me!"

"Is there anyone without psychic power in the team?" Shen Minghua looked at Ye Li.

Yu Youyou jumped off the chair and ran between the two of them, her eyes sparkling, "Me, me."

"Abai is it." Ye Li thought for a moment and answered Shen Minghua.

"But on the second day of the trial, Ah Bai was attacked by a monster while going to the forest to check for information, and he was eliminated."

Shen Minghua sighed, "There was Cheng He in the white dove, but after the sacrifice today, he was also attacked by monsters in the forest and withdrew from the trial."

Yu Youyou waved her hand. Seeing that Ye Li ignored her, she turned around and walked to Shen Minghua, "Let me do it, let me do it!"

Shen Minghua patted Yu Youyou's head and moved her aside.

"Who else?"

Ye Li went through all the team members in her mind but couldn't find a suitable one. When she was feeling lost, Fang Ziang's eyes lit up.

"So is Cohen, who is new to school with Yu Youyou!"

Yu Youyou widened her eyes, and even her classmates who entered school at the same time thought about it, why didn’t they look at her!

Ye Li thought of the silent classmate, looked at Shen Minghua, and saw hope in each other's eyes.

"Okay, I'll go find him now." Ye Li stood up and walked outside.

Yu Youyou looked at the few people who had completely forgotten about her and opened her mouth in disappointment.

Why don’t you remember that there is a person without psychic power here!

She followed him angrily with her arms folded, wanting to see what Cohen was like.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard a noisy sound coming from outside.

"Oh no! Monsters have broken into the village!"

When Ye Li heard this, he quickly grabbed the running team member and said, "Lu Chao, where is the monster?"

Lu Chao stopped and said breathlessly, "Captain, there are more than ten monsters coming to the east of the village. Many team members have been killed and eliminated from the trial!"

When Ye Li heard this, he had a bad feeling and asked quickly, "What about Cohen?"

"Cohen was the first one to be caught by the monster!"

Ye Li just felt dizzy.

The monster tried to break into the village, and Cohen was out, so how were they going to get close to the blood tree?

Yu Youyou, who heard all this from behind, rolled her eyes, walked aside with her arms folded, and pretended to cough a few times.

"Ahem - it seems I'm the only one here."

Ye Li and Shen Minghua looked at Yu Youyou at the same time.

Now, they also know that Yu Youyou is the last resort.

"You don't even have any mental strength, and this is your first time participating in a trial. You have no idea what you're going to experience."

Ye Li held Yu Youyou's shoulders, his face heavy, "Although the intelligent brain can protect your life, it cannot reduce the pain of your death in the trial. If you encounter monsters, you may be eaten and killed by them, and you will experience all the pain and fear."

Yu Youyou shook her head nonchalantly, "It's okay..."

Ye Li sighed, "Forget it. We can't be sure whether the blood tree is really the center of the hellfire, and we don't know whether it can extinguish the hellfire. Even if it can, you may not succeed."

"I can succeed!" When Ye Li was worried, Yu Youyou answered firmly.

Ye Li was stunned for a few seconds, staring at Yu Youyou in a daze.

"I'm very good!" Yu Youyou patted herself on the shoulder, "Trust me, there will be no problem."

The corners of Ye Li's mouth twitched. After a long while, she nodded helplessly.

-

Ye Li packed things for Yu Youyou and changed to a bigger backpack, which contained some guns and ammunition.

"These should be able to protect you for a while. Just do your best and don't force it."

Shen Minghua put some candies in Yu Youyou's bag and patted her on the head. "Come back early. If you see something is wrong..."

Shen Minghua thought for a moment and said to Youyou kindly, "If something goes wrong, run away quickly."

Finally, Yu Youyou, carrying a huge backpack, nodded firmly and waved to several people.

"I'm leaving."

Ye Li, Shen Minghua and Fang Ziang stood together, watching Yu Youyou, who was half hidden by her backpack, walking away.

It's like watching my daughter go on a long journey.

"Goodbye, mother. I'm going to sail far away tonight. Don't worry about me. I have the oars of happiness and wisdom..."

A burst of happy singing was heard, coupled with the worried expressions on several people's faces, making the scene more fitting.

After a few seconds, Fang Ziang coughed, "Bah, what the hell is Yu Youyou singing."

Ye Li and Shen Minghua both showed embarrassment on their faces. Shen Minghua touched his nose and comforted Ye Li.

"No matter what the outcome, this is something that students at Songbird Academy need to go through."

Ye Li nodded and looked towards the east of the village. "Now we also need to do what we should do."

In the forest, Anthony and Gordo were guarding a thousand meters away from the blood tree.

In the green flames, the blood tree grew more lush and taller.

Lu Keming, wearing a dark blue court uniform with gold gilding, walked towards the blood tree.
