God's Gift

"What's blooming?" Yu Youyou walked to his side, looked at the peach blossom petals between Fang Ziang's fingers, and said with understanding: "The peach blossoms are blooming."

"Yes, there are peach blossoms here. It's spring now! How nice."

As she spoke, she reached out to pick up the peach blossom and continued walking forward.

When Shen Minghua passed by Fang Ziang, he looked at Fang Ziang standing in the middle of the street absent-mindedly and stopped walking. "What's wrong? Aren't you going to leave?"

Fang Ziang came back to his senses, looked at Shen Minghua's puzzled eyes, and quickly shook his head, "It's okay... It's okay..."

"Let's go." He smiled at Shen Minghua nonchalantly and casually changed the subject, "Today has been full of twists and turns. There are dangers everywhere. I don't know when another monster will pop out."

"I hope I don't encounter any more monsters. Even though I won't really die, I'm still quite afraid of death. It would be too painful..."

At this point, Fang Ziang and Shen Minghua both fell silent.

After a moment of silence, Shen Minghua spoke first. He smiled as if he didn't care, "Yeah, it still hurts."

“Hopefully we’ll have better luck later on.”

He nodded to Fang Ziang, and then didn't talk to him any more, and walked forward without looking back.

Ye Li came from behind and looked at Fang Ziang. Seeing Ye Li looking at him, Fang Ziang raised the corner of his mouth and laughed without thinking as before, and asked: "What's wrong, Ah Li?"

He called out Ali, but his demeanor was not as close to nature as before.

"It's okay." Ye Li glanced at Shen Minghua's back, then looked at Fang Ziang, "There's no way to look back at the past, let it all go."

Fang Ziang's mouth froze for a moment, then he smiled even more brightly, waved to Ye Li, and changed the subject: "I'm leaving first, Ah Li!"

After saying that, he ran into the rain of flowers without looking back.

Street 116 is very long, and they are not familiar with the terrain. They also have to be on guard against monsters that may appear from nowhere, so their progress is much slower.

Fortunately, nothing unusual happened along the way. With Anthony and his companions paving the way, the group successfully reached the intersection of 116th Street and 36th Street around pm.

But a wide river stopped them.

Lu Keming looked at the wide river ahead and checked the satellite map, but did not see any bridge signs on the map.

“There is no bridge.”

"Yes, there is no bridge." Yu Youyou nodded politely. She looked around and made sure there was no bridge around, then repeated it again.

“There really is no bridge.”

“And there are no big trees nearby, and the ones that are there are short trees.”

"That's called a dwarf tree." Fang Ziang heard Yu Youyou's words as soon as he arrived, and couldn't help but complain, "Who taught you this measure word?"

Yu Youyou answered without hesitation: "My mother taught me, what's wrong?"

"Your mother..."

Fang Ziang's voice choked up, and he thought of Yu Youyou's parents who passed away at a young age. He hated himself for not thinking before speaking, "You taught... quite well."

While the two were talking, Lu Keming, who was standing by the river, seemed to have discovered something unusual. He stared at the rushing river motionlessly, his face expressionless due to concentration.

A bird flew across the sky. When it passed over a river, its wings seemed to have turned into pieces of iron. It staggered and fell down, and soon sank into the river again.

Shen Minghua also saw this scene and asked in confusion: "Is there something wrong with the magnetic field here?"

Lu Keming did not respond. He squatted down, broke off a piece of wild grass from the grass, condensed a ball of mental power on it, and then threw the grass into the river.

When the grass fell from the surface of the river, the spiritual power condensed on the leaves seemed to be sucked in, pulling the leaves into the water.

If it is an ordinary weed, even if it falls into the river, it will most likely float on the water.

But the blade of grass was like a stone, sinking straight into the river.

Shen Minghua looked at all this with a serious expression. He then pulled a piece of wild grass from the ground and threw it into the river.

This time there was no mental power, but the grass leaves were floating on the river.

Watching this scene, Shen Minghua finally understood, "This river can absorb spiritual power, and the bird just now should also have spiritual power."

Fang Ziang thought of the ordinary-looking bird just now, but his attention was distracted: "Is the spiritual power so abundant here?"

Even a bird has spiritual power.

"Why can this river absorb spiritual power? Is it related to that?" Shen Minghua looked at this strange river, walked to Lu Keming, and asked in a low voice.

Lu Keming nodded imperceptibly. He stared at the river in front of him, stroking the dragon ring on his ring finger, with an unclear emotion in his indigo eyes.

As they were talking, Yu Youyou tilted her head to look at them, then raised her hand and touched her chin.

She looked thoughtful, and after thinking for a few seconds, a look of sudden realization appeared on her face. Then she sat down by the river and put her feet in the river.

"Yu Youyou!" Ye Li was originally listening carefully to what Lu Keming and Shen Minghua were saying, but when he turned around, he saw Yu Youyou lingering by the river, as if she was about to go into the water.

She ran over a few steps and tried to pull Yu Youyou back, but she saw that Yu Youyou was not pulled into the river by the water.

I almost forgot that Yu Youyou is a person without spiritual power, and this river is only useful for spiritual power.

Ye Li stopped awkwardly, "That's right, Youyou doesn't have any mental power, so she won't be sucked in."

Lu Keming walked to Yu Youyou's side, saw that Yu Youyou had no problems, breathed a sigh of relief, then reached out and grabbed Yu Youyou's wrist.

"Don't go in the water, you don't know what's in there."

"It's okay, don't worry." Yu Youyou patted Lu Keming's shoulder, indicating that there was nothing wrong with her. "I'm a fish, and this is my hometown. I'll go down and see what's inside for you."

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou's proud expression, curled up his lips into a smile, and suddenly said: "Sea fish live in salt water, this is fresh water."

"Oh, that's right. The water on land has no taste." Yu Youyou thought of the water she had drunk from rivers on land before. It was indeed different from what she had drunk before.

Lu Keming pulled Yu Youyou closer and raised his hand to hug her, "So our little fish shouldn't stay by the Tamsui River."

"But I am the only one here who has no mental power." Yu Youyou hugged Lu Keming's arm, stood up and made plans with Lu Keming.

"How about I swim to the other side from here, bring you a big tree and put it on the river, and you can cross the river from the tree, so you won't sink into the river."

As soon as Yu Youyou said this, Lu Keming understood the deeper meaning of her words.

There were indeed tall trees where they had passed, but now the sun was beginning to set and it was too late to go back and bring back a log.

The best way, of course, is to build tall trees on flat ground.

As long as she is out of everyone's sight, Yu Youyou can use new life to give birth to trees.

Lu Keming was just wondering whether the method given by Yu Youyou was feasible when he heard Anthony's shouting from a distance.

"Master! There are many stones in the river. We can cross the river by stepping on them!"
