God's Gift

The blood-red rain turned into raindrops that fell on everyone. Because she stopped, the fleeing crowd quickly separated her from Lu Keming.

Yu Youyou looked up at Forres, her thin figure revealing a sense of loneliness among the fleeing crowd.

It's time for her to wake up.

The person standing in front of her now was no longer the old friend who would tell her those land stories over and over again without getting tired of it.

This is just a remaining shell.

She slept for too long. When she woke up, four thousand years had passed. Everything she once knew had disappeared completely.

Whether it was the god friends who had taught her, or the bird friends who flew over the sea day and night, or the fish friends who passed by her side.

They were all dead long ago.

After such a long time, those little birds and fish might have turned into fossils long ago.

Thinking of their appearance engraved in stone, Yu Youyou smiled inexplicably.

She recalled that before her mother died, she had asked her mother countless times what death really was, and the gentle answers her mother had given her.

Yu Youyou lowered her eyes, her thick eyelashes blocked the falling light, and her pupils with long eyelashes were dark and could not see any light.

Mom, this is what death is.

Unless time is reversed, there is no possibility for her and them to meet again from now on.

A strong wind carrying the smell of rust swept over, blowing Yu Youyou's hair. She looked up at Forres' body again, and her eyes gradually grew colder.

Lu Keming, who was carried forward by the crowd, was looking for Yu Youyou everywhere. In the chaos, he finally saw Yu Youyou standing still.

The huge body of Forres was gradually approaching. Seeing this scene, Lu Keming's nerves instantly tensed up. He pushed the crowd away and ran towards Yu Youyou against the flow of people.

Lu Keming grabbed Yu Youyou, his voice panting from the intense activity, "Youyou, hurry up."

Lu Keming's urgent voice brought Yu Youyou back to her senses. Yu Youyou looked back at Lu Keming and shook her head slightly.

"Ke Ming, I can't leave."

She puffed out her cheeks and gave Lu Keming a soothing smile. Then she turned to look at Fu Ruisi, who was pressing her step by step, and sighed helplessly.

"Looking at the way it looks, it's definitely not going to let us escape successfully."

Even if this was only a broken body, it had once belonged to a god. Divine power still lingered within this flesh, tainted by the Dark Star. If it wanted to kill the humans present, it would be a simple matter.

Yu Youyou looked at the figures of Ye Li and others in the crowd, as well as Xiaoou who was carried on Fang Ziang's back, and spoke in a firm voice.

"I have to stay and protect my friends."

Lu Keming stared at Yu Youyou. He gradually tightened his grip on Yu Youyou's hand, a nonchalant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his delicate eyebrows curved slightly.

"Okay, then we'll stay."

Hearing this, Yu Youyou looked into Lu Keming's eyes and was silent for a few seconds, "This time it's really dangerous."

This was the first time that Yu Youyou said the word "danger" to Lu Keming so cautiously.

Lu Keming, however, was not frightened by this. On the contrary, his blood vessels surged, his calm blood gradually became agitated, and an indescribable sense of satisfaction filled his chest.

"That's perfect, Youyou." Lu Keming leaned over to Youyou and kissed her on the forehead. "As a sharp sword in the hands of a warrior, it's my duty to go through fire and water for you."

Yu Youyou stared at Lu Keming blankly, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and then she nodded.

At this time, Forrest was only one meter away from the two of them. The figures of the two people were reflected in its scarlet eyes, and a dull sound of teeth grinding came from its mouth.

Bright red blood mixed with smelly oral mucus fell and dripped onto Lu Keming's shoulder.

Lu Keming raised his hand to wipe the blood off his shoulder, and his mental power condensed into a sharp blade in his other hand.

When Forrest lowered his head and attacked them, Lu Keming hugged Yu Youyou, lightly dodged to the side, and turned around to swing the sharp blade in his hand.

With the powerful mental power swung out as the blade, the pomegranate tree next to the Forres antlers was cut in half in an instant. The ripe pomegranates fell from the branches, and Yu Youyou reached out to catch a pomegranate.

Forrest's huge antlers also broke off and fell heavily, accompanied by the loudest falling sound, raising a cloud of dust.

The huge noise attracted everyone's attention. Ye Li looked back and saw Forrest who was in an angry state.

Forrest let out a low roar from his throat, and stomped his four hooves heavily on the ground. The amaryllis flowers in his eyes swayed with his movements, and the red petals kept falling.

"Why did its horns fall off?" Fang Ziang looked at the antlers rolling on the ground, his legs and feet felt a little weak.

At this moment, Xiaoou, who was carried on his back, suddenly spoke, pointing a finger forward, "Yu Youyou."

Shen Minghua looked in the direction Xiaoou pointed and saw Lu Keming standing on the broken walls, with Yu Youyou in his arms.

Directly in front of the two men was the frantic Forrest.

Shen Minghua's expression changed, and he reacted at the same time as Ye Li, running towards Lu Keming and Yu Youyou without hesitation.

Fang Ziang looked at the two people who returned decisively, his eyes widened, and he stood there at a loss.

He raised his foot to follow, but when he thought of the little gull on his back, he stopped and turned around anxiously on the spot.

"What should I do? I might as well not go... I only have an A-level mental power, and I'll just be a drag if I go." He consoled himself, "Besides, I have a child with me."

The more Fang Ziang thought about it, the more it made sense. He nodded to himself, turned around without hesitation, and left quickly with Xiaoou on his back.

Meanwhile, Lu Keming dodged Forrest's attacks with ease. Even as the strong wind and gravel lashed his uniform, he managed to free one hand to block Yu Youyou's eyes, shielding her from the flying sand.

"To the right, right...left..." Yu Youyou's vision was blocked, but she could still accurately tell Lu Keming the direction of Forres' next attack.

After several unsuccessful attacks, Forrest became more violent and his attacks became more random.

After several fruitless attacks, Forrest seemed to have discovered that it could not catch the two people in front of it.

It gradually stopped attacking, its hooves stamping rhythmically on the ground as it circled slowly around the two of them.

Lu Keming frowned and stared at Fu Ruisi vigilantly, waiting for its next move.

Yu Youyou also looked at Forrest. Suddenly, the pomegranate in her hand exploded, and the bright red pomegranate seeds rolled into the dust.

Yu Youyou's gaze followed the rolling trajectory of the pomegranate seeds and looked at the ground. She frowned slightly and immediately realized what Forrest was going to do.

"It's a new student." Yu Youyou raised her eyes and grabbed Lu Keming's hand, "Get out of the way."
