God's Gift

Fang Ziang paused, listened to the dog barking, and finally realized something was wrong.

"No, that's Lu Keming's dog. What is it doing in front?"

"Wow, so that's the puppy?" Yu Youyou's attention began to shift when she heard Fang Ziang's words.

"No...you haven't seen a frog, and you don't even know a dog?" Fang Ziang's thoughts were also diverted by Yu Youyou.

"Ah, I haven't seen it before." Yu Youyou broke free from Fang Ziang's hand.

"There's not even a dog in District E?" Fang Ziang looked at Yu Youyou in surprise. Even though District E was a well-known slum, it shouldn't be so bad that even dogs couldn't survive, right?

"Oh... maybe, I haven't seen it." Yu Youyou turned her gaze away from Fang Ziang and looked away guiltily.

What's so surprising? It's normal for fish in the sea to have never seen a dog. It would be abnormal if they had seen a dog!

Just as Fang Ziang was wondering why there were no dogs in Area E, the barking of dogs in front became more and more rapid, and the expression on Fang Ziang's face froze.

Yu Youyou's eyes were fixed on the place where the barking sound came from, and her expression became a little serious.

The fire in front became brighter and brighter, as if it was moving, moving towards Yu Youyou and Fang Ziang, and along with it came a distorted black shadow in the flames.

"Something is coming." The light reflected in Yu Youyou's pupils became brighter and brighter, and she suddenly spoke to Fang Ziang.

Fang Ziang's expression tensed up as he realized they might have gone in the wrong direction. "Isn't there a village ahead?"

The bushes in front suddenly began to shake violently, as if something was about to run out of it.

Fang Ziang looked nervous and took a few steps back. Yu Youyou stared at the bushes and responded, "Yeah."

Suddenly, a black Doberman rushed out from the bushes, pounced on Yu Youyou and pushed her to the ground.

A tentacle with sharp bone spurs passed over Yu Youyou, but because she was knocked down, it just missed her head.

When the tentacles came over, Fang Ziang subconsciously took out a gun from the storage space and fired a shot in the direction of the tentacles.

The stumps fell to the ground, twisting constantly as if they still had life.

The surrounding trees and bushes began to shake, making rustling sounds, strange cries rang out in the woods, and the quiet forest became noisy.

Doberman climbed up from Yu Youyou's body, stared at the surroundings with bared teeth, and made a low, hoarse warning sound in his throat.

Fang Ziang held the gun tightly, pointed it at the shaking woods, glanced at the twisting body parts on the ground, and said with a distorted expression: "Fuck, what is this?"

"I've never seen it before." Yu Youyou got up from the ground, looked at the tentacles on the ground, and pondered for a long time.

"Like an octopus." After a few seconds, Yu Youyou looked at the exposed muscles of the tentacles and the mucus that kept oozing out of them, and added, "No, it's much uglier than an octopus."

Fang Ziang frowned, and said to Youyou, "Get out of here quickly."

But before the two turned around, the light in front of them suddenly became several times brighter and came rapidly towards them, and the trees began to collapse.

Only then did the two realize that the light that had been attracting them in front of them was actually a blazing flame.

What was strange was that the flame was not the common scarlet red. Instead, except for a faint yellow circle around it, the center of the flame was burning bright white.

A large area of ​​trees in front had been burned black, and in the flames, there seemed to be black shadows moving.

The Doberman stared at the direction of the flames and began barking again.

Yu Youyou looked at the flames, her eyes froze for a moment, and then her expression became more gloomy, a seriousness she had never had when she faced Lu Keming and the dead just now.

After a few seconds, Yu Youyou turned around decisively, grabbed the chain around Doberman's neck, grabbed the stunned Fang Ziang with her other hand, and quickly ran away along the way they came.

Fang Ziang came back to his senses from his shock when she pulled him, and followed Yu Youyou's movements to leave.

The two of them walked much faster than when they came, and they were no longer noisy, but instead were exceptionally quiet.

Soon, the two were getting farther and farther away from the fire, and could no longer see the light.

The trees reaching up to the sky were like standing stone statues, watching the two people walking away quickly underground.

A dark shadow fell on the tree trunk and followed the two people's movements, leaving sharp scratches on the bark.

There is a moss-covered road in the woods, with some branches scattered on it. You need to be extra careful when walking on it, otherwise you may get scratched or trip to the ground.

There was something lurking in the darkness, and the slimy tentacles stretched out again, reaching towards Yu Youyou and Fang Ziang, but were blocked by the branches of the trees.

Yu Youyou paused for a moment and continued walking forward.

After taking a few steps, a dark shadow suddenly stretched out from under her feet, almost causing Yu Youyou to fall.

Yu Youyou stopped.

"What's wrong?" Fang Ziang looked at Yu Youyou puzzledly, as if wondering why she suddenly stopped.

"I want to pee." Yu Youyou clamped her legs together, looked at Fang Ziang shyly, and smiled.

"You can't hold back? You're still in the forest now, what if the monster catches up to you just now?"

Fang Ziang frowned and looked around. Although nothing strange appeared along the way, he always felt uneasy.

Yu Youyou looked at Fang Ziang with a gloomy face.

Fang Ziang froze for a few seconds, waved his hand at Youyou, and turned his back. "Go quickly, stay nearby and don't go far. Call me if you need anything."

"Okay." Yu Youyou smiled, walked out of the path and entered the woods next to it.

Doberman watched Yu Youyou leave and was about to follow, but he saw Yu Youyou made a prohibiting gesture to him and blinked.

Doberman's dark eyes stared straight at Yu Youyou. After seeing Yu Youyou's actions, he hesitated for a few seconds and stopped where he was.

However, Yu Youyou did not go to pee. She put her hands in her pockets, skipped over the tree roots blocking her way, and walked towards the forest next to her.

The black shadow that was following behind the two also changed direction and followed Yu Youyou into the forest.

A tentacle stretched out, but when it was about to touch Yu Youyou, it was grabbed tightly by a hand.

Yu Youyou pulled the tentacle and slowly pulled out the black shadow that had followed them all the way like a tug-of-war.

Only when the thing came in front of him did his full appearance appear.

A monster as tall as a person, with no intact skin on its body, only exposed brown muscles covered with mucus.

Its limbs were twice as long as those of humans and were covered with bone spurs. Its eyes, without eyelids, took up a quarter of its entire face, with only black pupils, and its fangs were exposed.

It is an extremely ugly, twisted monster that seems to be cursed.

It didn't seem to expect that it would be dragged out by Yu Youyou directly, and it opened its mouth wide and was about to bite Yu Youyou's head.

However, Yu Youyou held its lower jaw and it couldn't open its mouth, so tentacles emerged from its body and attacked Yu Youyou.

Yu Youyou grabbed its outstretched tentacle with her backhand: "What are you doing?"
