Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Seven Oath to the Will
"Is there a human village ahead?" Xuan Fang pointed forward and looked at the orcs beside him and asked.
Perhaps due to the environment of this world, these orcs are actually more like conscious beasts, at least as reconnaissance and combat members, rather than the humanoid orcs or half-orcs that Xuan Fang has seen.
"Oh!" He whimpered twice and nodded.
This beastman was beaten up by Xuan Fang and then led the way honestly. However, he could understand what Xuan Fang said because of the language barrier, but Xuan Fang couldn't, so he could only nod or shake his head.
The five senses of orcs are very sharp, so it is naturally easy to find people. Although Xuan Fang can do it, he is not familiar with this world after all, and he does not want to plunge into the territory of those dangerous monsters.
At least not until the energy conversion is completed. It's okay to meet him alone. Unless he is a god, if he runs directly into the trap set by the goblin or the domain of the machine-type, the joke will be big.
Xuan Fang looked up. Although he saw no people, there were indeed signs of buildings and human activities.
"Okay, your mission is completed and you can hit the road."
"Ho ho ho!"
Upon hearing this, the orcs quickly got down on all fours and galloped on the ground, fleeing into the distance.
Whoosh! Poof!
A black shadow suddenly shot out, accurately piercing the head of the orc who had just jumped into the air, ending his life.
He obviously misunderstood what Xuan Fang meant. Although these guys looked like wild beasts, they were much smarter than the orcs in the Elf Country. If they were allowed to go back with their own information, Xuan Fang would not make such low-level mistakes as Fan.
After crossing the ruins, Xuan Fang walked into the village. After searching for a while, he found no human beings, which felt a little strange.
Not only that, although there are some signs of human activities, such as no black ash falling from the sky in some places, a thick layer of black ash has accumulated in some places.
But judging from the living area, it should have been abandoned. If there is no food, this place is obviously not a place to live, and it is more likely that it has been plundered by people passing by.
boom!
Occasionally, there would be roaring sounds in the distance. Although Xuan Fang was a little concerned, he had no intention of exploring it now, but it seemed that he had no better choice at the moment.
I turned around and walked towards the direction of the explosion, hoping to meet someone with whom I could communicate normally this time. As for the danger, judging from the scope of the explosion and the energy fluctuations, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Not long after Xuan Fang left, three figures came out of the corner. After looking at each other, one of them looked at the other two hesitantly, but was stopped by one of them with his eyes and actions.
Each of them is wrapped up tightly, and the ashes falling from the sky will cause harm to them, and even death in serious cases.
Other races may be able to defend with their own talents or abilities, or even ignore it, but they obviously can't.
The three of them quickly hid in the shadows and ran away cautiously.
After running far away, the man who wanted to stop Xuan Fang looked at the leader and asked in confusion: "Rick, that guy..."
"I know what you want to say, do you think humans can completely ignore these black ash?"
Even though he was wearing goggles, Rick's emotionless eyes were clearly visible. Seeing him become silent, he said, "Okay, let's go quickly and save some energy."
"Um."
Nodding, the three people quickly approached a crashed steel fortress. The surrounding terrain had been destroyed to a great extent, and it was obvious that they had experienced a great battle.
In this world, if a war breaks out between superior races, it will be an absolute disaster for mankind.
Luck almost happened to happen at their gathering place, causing hundreds of casualties at every turn, and even worse, there was no chance of escape.
According to the laws of this world, about half of the average village will die every year, that is, one-twentieth of the people. This is still a situation with better luck. In fact, more people are alive who have not recorded this information.
Came down.
laugh!
"Well!"
On the way near the wreckage, a man's arm was touched by a piece of falling black ash, and a burst of white smoke suddenly emitted. Horrifying scars appeared on his arm as if it had been corroded and burned.
The muffled sound attracted the attention of the other two, but under the gaze of his two companions, he just nodded slightly and continued running towards his destination.
In a place like this where other races may exist, the consequences if their presence is exposed would be disastrous.
Quickly running to a hidden corner, Rick looked at the other party and whispered: "Yiwang."
"Ha...I'm fine."
Several people quickly looked around to make sure they were not discovered.
In this world, in addition to humans, even races without "elves" can rely on their keen senses to detect the existence of other creatures or elves.
Once discovered, they will have no other possibility except waiting to die. It's not that they don't want to escape, but in the face of absolute power, even the existences ranked at the bottom of the fifteen races can easily wipe out human beings.
But Rick found a solution in a desperate situation...
"How did the compass needle react?" Ivan lowered his voice and asked Rick.
The compass needle is a prop made of pyroxene and obsidian that can detect the reactions of elves. It is considered a key prop to improve their survival rate.
"No, there is too much black and gray, and the compass needle is just affected by the influence." Rick shook his head, and the compass needle in his hand was spinning completely uncontrollably.
It’s not that this thing is very sensitive, but that there are too many black and gray colors. If you look down from mid-air, in contrast to the red sky, there is a deathly silence exuding gray and blue.
Even the red in the sky is the result of the collision of the power of elves and stars, covering the sun and changing the color of the world.
Because of this, it is becoming more and more difficult for humans to survive in this world. It is not just about safety and food. Without sunlight, everything in this world is slowly developing in a more extreme direction.
Until the day when humans are completely unable to survive, they will naturally become extinct without other species taking action.
"Next... proceed with caution." Rick calmly put away the compass needle.
"Um."
Yiwang and Ya Lei nodded. The three of them searched for all available resources on the wreckage. It would be best if they could find something. But if there are still goblins alive, even if they are on the verge of death, they
There is no doubt that he will die.
As the eighth species in the sequence, although the elves themselves cannot use magic or anything like that, they can create powerful battleships and spiritual equipment.
Once they get the catalyst, they can easily wipe out hundreds of humans with just one sentence, which is no different from trampling to death a hundred ants!
"Hey! Rick, Yvonne! What a great harvest!"
Among the three people who were searching separately, Ya Lei suddenly waved his hand in the distance and said loudly.
Yiwang was startled by the shouting and instinctively held his head in his hands. This move was not to avoid or surrender, but to make his death as peaceful as possible.
After all, most of the time, I'm afraid they don't even know how they died. They may fall into ruins or black ashes in the next second and fall into a deep sleep.
"Come here quickly! Ya Lei." Yiwang reacted and called Ya Lei over.
Looking at his death-seeking behavior with cold eyes, his colleague glanced at Rick, who was standing aside with a cold expression.
Rick did not speak, but looked at Alei coldly, raised his hand and made a throat-cutting motion on his neck.
This not only tells him that his actions may lead to their death at any time, but also means that if an accident occurs, he will make the most correct judgment as he is responsible for the hope and life of everyone in the settlement.
Ya Lei didn't react until he came to the two of them. His shoulders trembled, he covered his mouth and let out a small moan.
"Hug, sorry, anyway... Anyway, come here and take a look at this."
Rick and Ivan followed his footsteps and soon came to a hidden location, where they found a dazzling array of precision instruments, all created by goblins.
Ya Lei took out the things he found, and as the equipment was activated by the remaining elves inside, a huge projection appeared in front of several people.
"This is!!"
"No way!? This is a world map!?" Even Ya Lei found it unbelievable, but he could still tell what it was by feeling.
"Yes, and it's the latest world map."
Rick was still very calm. He looked at the text on the map and quickly made a judgment: "It's not just a map, it's also a strategic map and the current power distribution map. Although the code is used, I can also understand the goblin language.
It’s not a problem for me.”
"Yiwang, Yare, you compare and correct the left and right halves with the existing map respectively, and I will copy the strategy and power distribution map."
After the joy, Rick quickly arranged a clear division of labor. They had to race against time. From this moment on, the value of this map would even exceed the lives of the three of them!
Chapter completed!
