56: Chapter 56 A New Divine Grace! The Jungle Hunter Who Sees Through the Darkness!

"Zhou Jing."

"You, come here."

When Qin Yu's majestic voice rang out clearly across the bonfire banquet...

The entire noisy square instantly fell silent.

All eyes turned in unison, following the sound to land on a thin, frail figure sitting in the corner.

Zhou Jing was completely stunned!

Her delicate little face was filled with disbelief and shock!

The Patriarch... is calling me?

How is this possible?!

She was just the most ordinary, inconspicuous member of the logistics team. Her usual duties were just chores like mending animal skins and cleaning the camp.

In a place like the Dragon God Tribe where heroes emerged in succession, she was like a neglected blade of grass, so small that she had almost forgotten her own existence.

But now, that god-like, high-and-mighty Lord of the Tribe had actually called out her name in front of everyone!

"Zhou Jing? The Patriarch is calling you!"

"Go over there! Don't just stand there in a daze!"

A girl next to her, who was on relatively good terms with her, gave her a hard shove, her tone filled with irrepressible envy and jealousy.

"Ah... oh! Yes!"

Zhou Jing snapped out of her daze and scrambled up from the ground in a panic. Because she was so nervous, her feet stumbled, and she almost fell.

With her head lowered and taking small, hurried steps, she walked anxiously toward Qin Yu's throne under the gaze of eyes filled with envy, jealousy, or confusion.

"Pa... Patriarch..."

Zhou Jing's voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz. She was so nervous she didn't even dare to look up, only able to see Qin Yu's powerful combat boots resting on the luxurious animal skins.

Inside the tent, there was a deathly silence.

Everyone held their breath, not understanding why Qin Yu would suddenly call out the name of such an "invisible" person.

Could it be that she had committed some mistake and was to be punished publicly?

Even Su Qingyao and Lin Waner looked toward Qin Yu with a hint of doubt in their beautiful eyes.

Qin Yu ignored everyone's speculation. He simply scrutinized the girl before him, who looked like she was about to cry from nerves.

"Lift your head."

His cold voice carried an unquestionable command.

Zhou Jing's delicate frame trembled. She could only endure her inner fear and slowly lift her flushed, delicate face.

When she saw Qin Yu's eyes, as deep as the stars, her heart skipped a beat and her breathing nearly stopped.

"I have a question for you."

Qin Yu's voice was devoid of emotion.

"This afternoon, in the West District warehouse you were responsible for cleaning, how many bundles of dried vines did Lin Waner's construction team newly store?"

This question left everyone utterly baffled.

Even Lin Waner herself was stunned for a moment.

For such details, even she, the manager, would have to check the records to know. Why would the Patriarch suddenly ask this?

Zhou Jing was also confused; she didn't know why Qin Yu was asking this.

However, she blurted out the answer almost immediately, without the slightest hesitation.

"Re... Reporting to the Patriarch, it was thirty-seven bundles!"

"Among them, twenty bundles were the darker Ironwire Vines, and seventeen bundles were the relatively soft Green Vines."

"The Ironwire Vines were stacked in the left corner of the warehouse, while the Green Vines were placed on the right shelves. The top three bundles were a bit loose because they weren't tied tightly."

Though her voice still carried a hint of nervousness, her pronunciation was exceptionally clear and her logic was sharp, describing every detail with absolute clarity!

Hiss—!

Everyone present couldn't help but suck in a cold breath!

Lin Waner's beautiful eyes widened, her face full of shock!

Because what Zhou Jing said was exactly right!

Even she, the person in charge of coordination, didn't know these details, yet Zhou Jing—who was only responsible for cleaning—remembered them so clearly!

This... what terrifying observation and memory!

A satisfied smile finally appeared on Qin Yu's face.

He spoke again, and the question became even more difficult.

"From the start of the banquet until now, how many times has Chen Xiao, who is in charge of patrolling, walked past you?"

This question made everyone feel it was even more inconceivable!

Who would bother to count how many times the patrol captain walked by during a victory banquet?

However, Zhou Jing only tilted her head slightly as if recollecting. A few seconds later, she answered with certainty:

"A total of... five times!"

"The first time she was heading toward the eastern watchtower with steady steps."

"The second time she was talking to the sisters at the southern outpost, staying for about ten seconds."

"The third and fourth times were routine patrols."

"The fifth time, which was just now, she stopped not far from your throne, seemingly waiting for your orders. Her left hand was habitually resting on the bow at her waist!"

The entire venue was silent!

Everyone looked at Zhou Jing as if they were looking at a monster!

Even Chen Xiao herself narrowed her pupils, an expression of disbelief appearing on her face!

Because what Zhou Jing said was completely correct!

Even her own subconscious small movements had been observed clearly by this girl!

At this moment, everyone understood!

This seemingly inconspicuous girl possessed a pair of eyes comparable to a falcon's, capable of seeing through everything!

Qin Yu slowly stood up from his throne.

He walked up to Zhou Jing and, under the shocked gazes of everyone, reached out and gently placed his hand on top of the girl's head, which was trembling slightly from excitement and disbelief.

"Your eyes shall become the eyes of the Tribe, piercing all darkness and mist within this rainforest."

"Your footsteps shall traverse domains unreachable by enemies, bringing back the turning points for victory."

"Today, in the name of the Dragon God, I grant you new power and glory!"

Qin Yu's gaze instantly became incredibly sharp!

Totem Eye, fully activated!

"Class Bestowal—Jungle Hunter!"

Buzz—!

A rich, green light that only Qin Yu and Zhou Jing could see erupted from Qin Yu's palm, instantly enveloping Zhou Jing's entire body!

Zhou Jing only felt a cool and powerful energy frantically surging into every part of her body!

In an instant, her hearing was amplified dozens of times! She could even clearly hear the faint sound of wood cracking as the bonfire burned a hundred meters away!

Her vision became incredibly sharp! She could see a tiny companion star next to the most distant star in the night sky!

Her body became as light as a feather, as if she could blend into the wind with just a light leap!

More importantly, countless pieces of knowledge and instincts regarding tracking, stealth, trap setting, and breath concealment appeared out of thin air in her mind!

It was as if she were naturally a top-tier hunter living in this jungle!

Thump!

Zhou Jing could no longer support herself. Her legs went weak, and she knelt heavily before Qin Yu!

Her face was already wet with tears of ecstasy and gratitude!

With all her strength, she offered her most humble and fervent loyalty to the deity before her!

"Zhou Jing... thanks the Patriarch for the grace of rebirth!"

"In this life and the next! My eyes shall see only for You, my God! My life shall burn only for the Tribe!"

Watching this scene, an unprecedented, burning light erupted in the eyes of all the ordinary girls below the stage!

Zhou Jing's "ascent to heaven in a single step" gave them all a very clear signal!

As long as you have talent!

As long as you work hard enough!

The God would not overlook anyone loyal to him!

Qin Yu withdrew his hand and looked down at Zhou Jing, whose aura had completely transformed, and issued her first—and most dangerous—command.

"Very good."

"Now, go and prove your value to me."

"I want you to infiltrate the Bloodfang Tribe's nest before dawn and find out all their troop deployments, the leader's location, and... what they are currently doing."

Qin Yu's voice was cold and ruthless.

"Remember."

"Come back alive."
