God's Gift

It's almost dark outside the window.

Yu Youyou moved her furry head close to Lu Keming and stared at the paper.

Lu Keming glanced at Yu Youyou's head resting on his arm, frowned and took two steps away.

Shen Minghua entered the room and looked at the paper in Lu Keming's hand. "What is this?"

Lu Keming casually threw the paper to Shen Minghua, then reached out a hand to grab Yu Youyou who was about to get closer to Shen Minghua, and led her out of the room, followed closely by Godot.

At this time, the remaining members had arrived at the castle one after another.

Shen Minghua, Ye Li and the others finished reading the contents of the note and looked at the sky getting darker outside with unhappy expressions.

"What do you mean? It's so scary outside, late at night, and you want us to leave the castle and go outside?" As soon as Luo Wen arrived by boat, he heard Shen Minghua and Ye Li asking them to retreat.

"President, we don't even know if the note is real. What if it's fake?" Luo Wen looked at Shen Minghua and sighed.

"If you don't want to leave, you can stay here." Fang Ziang, who had been at odds with Luo Wen in Endless Township, snorted coldly. This kind of castle is obviously haunted at night, so whoever wants to stay here can stay.

Luo Wen choked up, and after a while he said, "I won't stay."

"Let's go." Shen Minghua gave an order and led the rest of the people out of the castle.

At this time, Lu Keming and Yu Youyou were standing on the foundation outside the castle.

Behind him were a dozen Blue Dragon members, all waiting silently for Lu Keming's orders.

Lu Keming was watching Yu Youyou snapping her fingers.

"To the forest, to the swamp, to the forest, to the swamp...to the forest."

"Okay, let's go to the forest!" Yu Youyou pulled Lu Keming's clothes and pulled him over there.

Lu Keming had an indifferent expression on his face, and walked towards the forest while being dragged by Youyou.

"Master, that forest looks really weird. It's dark and looks like it wants to eat people." Anthony followed Lu Keming and asked him quietly, "Would a swamp be better?"

"The swamp may not be that good." Lu Keming responded lightly as he moved forward dragged by Yu Youyou.

Anthony then nodded.

After going around to the back of the castle and the entrance to the forest, the group of people stopped, looking at the only path leading to the forest.

The path stretched into the forest, as if being swallowed by a huge dark mouth.

A group of people stopped at the entrance of the forest.

After a while, Shen Minghua and Ye Li also came over with Bai Ge and other unorganized people.

The two sides tacitly divided into two teams, picked up some firewood from around the forest, and started a fire.

Yu Youyou put her bag on the ground, sat next to Lu Keming, and yawned.

Lu Keming sat by the campfire, the dancing flames reflected in his eyes.

Anthony opened a can nearby and fed it to Gordo.

Yu Youyou stared at the can for a long time and swallowed.

After a while, a bird flew across the dark sky. Yu Youyou came to Lu Keming, pointed at the bird and called Lu Keming.

"Lu Keming."

"Hmm?" Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou.

Yu Youyou lowered her voice, looked around furtively, and said to Lu Keming.

"I'll take charge. Let's roast a bird and eat it."

Lu Keming: ...

Where did you learn the word "be the boss"? I use it everywhere.

"Who will grill it for you?" Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou coldly.

Yu Youyou looked at Lu Keming expectantly, her dark and watery eyes sparkling.

Lu Keming looked into Yu Youyou's eyes and was silent for a long time. He then turned his head away as if it had nothing to do with him: "That's wishful thinking."

Yu Youyou pursed her lips, and when she saw that Lu Keming didn't agree, she decided to rely on herself. She stood up, and walked towards the place where the bird was flying with the sound of her Crocs.

Lu Keming glanced at her and didn't move.

"Master, Yu Youyou won't be in danger alone, right?" Anthony looked at Yu Youyou who was leaving alone, feeling a little worried.

After a while, Anthony saw that Lu Keming was still motionless. Thinking of what the patriarch had told him to do, he stood up and went to find Yu Youyou.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, Lu Keming called him.

"stop."

Lu Keming glanced at Anthony coldly, stood up, and walked towards the direction where Yu Youyou left.

Anthony scratched his head in bewilderment.

Yu Youyou was standing under a tree, looking up motionlessly at the bird perched on a branch.

"What are you doing?" Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou with a focused look and asked with a frown.

"I'm waiting for it to fall." Yu Youyou answered Lu Keming seriously.

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou's serious expression and was silent for a second.

After a few seconds, Lu Keming raised his hand and waved towards the bird.

The bird, which was originally sleeping, was suddenly pinched on the neck and fell from the tree.

Yu Youyou stared at the fallen bird with wide eyes and picked it up from the ground, "It really fell."

Lu Keming sighed deeply and said to Youyou:

"Yu Youyou, you'd better stop running around. If my mission fails because of you, I will definitely kill you."

His voice was icy cold.

Yu Youyou stared at Lu Keming steadily and tilted her head.

She was not threatened at all and did not take Lu Keming's intimidation seriously at all.

Lu Keming took a deep breath, turned around and walked back.

Yu Youyou followed Lu Keming with the bird in his hand. Thinking that Lu Keming was worried about the mission, he comforted her, “Don’t be so sad. We will definitely win this time.”

"Why are you so sure?" Lu Keming didn't believe what Yu Youyou said. Could she win just by relying on her good luck?

"Of course, I'm the boss and we'll definitely win." Yu Youyou said with confidence.

Lu Keming glanced at Yu Youyou and said nothing more.

Just then, there was a movement under their feet.

Lu Keming stopped, picked up Yu Youyou and brought her to his side, looking at the ground beneath his feet.

The vibration stopped for a few seconds and then started again.

A dull sound came from underground, shaking the ground again and again.

Lu Keming and Yu Youyou hurried back.

A group of people on Ye Li's side also stood up.

"What is this? Is there an earthquake?" Fang Ziang was shaking with fear.

"No, there seems to be something underneath." Shen Minghua protected Ye Li behind him and looked at the constantly shaking ground.

"Is something trying to crawl out?" Fang Ziang's face fell and he shrank back a little in fear. Anthony on the side looked at Fang Ziang with disdain.

Yu Youyou squatted down, put her hands on the ground, felt the direction of the sound, and looked towards the swamp.

"It's coming from the swamp."

Lu Keming glanced at Yu Youyou, then shifted his gaze to the swamp.

The vibrations became more and more intense, as if indicating that the thing was getting closer and closer to them.

Finally, the vibrations from the ground gradually stopped, and a huge black shadow appeared in the fog. It crawled out from the ground and climbed onto the shore at the edge of the swamp.
