I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

During this period, there were times when technology was developed with the help of technology from other races, but none of them lasted long.

The body is weak, the adaptability to magic is zero, unable to use magic, even if it is used by people, it cannot be detected, it has no resistance to other races, it can only sneak around, and always be alert to the movements of other races, in case it is affected by the battle, Even a stray bullet can be fatal.

"So we can only act in a low-key way... because once human beings are regarded as a possible threat by other races, will they suffer a crisis close to massacres?"

"Hey, then for the survival of the human species here, we'd better not be too ostentatious."

Cheng Rang sighed helplessly, patted the scabbard on his waist and muttered: "Unless you see the star cup, or the God of War named Artoxiu... otherwise, if you attack other races easily, I'm fine, but it's not justifiable to say that the human race on this planet has been wiped out because of me alone."

After all, even the ashes from the corpse of the third-ranked elf species can fall from the sky like snowflakes...then this war...this world, for the human beings here For him, there is no other existence but despair.

Sorting out a total of five main tasks, except for the task of "witness" to witness the birth of the heart, Cheng Rang has no clue for the time being. It seems that the other conditions are very demanding.

I don't know what the "star cup" looks like, what are the conditions for it to appear, and how it appears, so I can only put it backwards.

Defeating God of War Artosh is also...

Looking around at the endless scorched earth, the possibility of God of War appearing in such a ghostly place is almost zero. At present, the only thing that can be done is to try to find traces of human beings.

Even if you don't do anything, you can probably complete the last mission, but you have to "witness" to complete it first.

"Let's go on the road... I hope my luck will not be too bad."

Cheng Rang is even ready to spend a few years here, and the time-to-flow ratio given by the system is still 1:24. In 24 days here, only one day will pass in the main world.

There is still a long way to go here. If you don't meet other humans, you will even need to be alone day and night, not to mention that you will encounter more trouble if you encounter the struggle between other races head-on.

On the plain where black ash roared, a string of long footprints connected on the carpet of ashes, extending all the way to the horizon where no dawn could be seen.

Cheng Rang is alone, walking firmly on this land where only despair exists.

Towards a hope that may not exist...

Chapter 2 Severing Despair (3300+)

It has been seven days since Cheng Rang traveled alone, and he has a rough understanding of the size of the planet.

He stopped and looked back at the continuous footprints on the ground behind him. The footprints in the distance had been covered by falling black ash, but the surrounding scenery still showed no signs of changing.

At the speed of ordinary humans, Cheng Rang still did not walk out of the ruins of the battlefield after seven days of non-stop advancement day and night, and did not encounter any individuals of other races during the period.

He didn't even deliberately cover up his whereabouts, and even there were very few wild beasts. The battle on this battlefield should have been completely over, and nothing else will appear.

If it wasn't for the fact that they didn't have the need to eat and drink, humans who didn't have any supplies for seven days would probably have died.

The black ash should also have the effect of covering the elves' perception. The other races here seem to have some magical adaptability, or strong physical support. If they don't want to look for traces of humans, they should not be easily detected in this case.

"Is it both highly poisonous and a kind of shelter?"

This area has no more meaning to him, Cheng Rang decided to speed up his pace and leave this dead plain without any signs of life.

whoosh-

The subtle sound of breaking the air dissipated here as Cheng Rang's figure suddenly blurred, and the black ash in the process of falling rolled up a piece of fine blue fluorescent light due to the high-speed moving airflow discharged by Cheng Rang.

After increasing the speed of movement, it took Cheng Rang a few more hours to see the mountains not far away, which surrounded it as smoothly as the foothills surrounding the plain.

After counting for 10 minutes, after crossing the mountains, Cheng Rang looked at the rugged mountain in front of him, his eyes widened as if he had suddenly recovered.

"Wait...this...could it be said!"

A somewhat absurd idea came to mind, Cheng Rang returned to the mountains and looked towards the plain where he came.

Although there is falling black and ash blocking the view, you can look to both sides according to the flat arc extended by the mountains at your feet...

This shape is a bit like a huge crater smashed by a meteorite or something.

There is something refreshing about the moment you pass over the rolling mountains.

The air rushed towards him, which surprised Cheng Rang.

He thought it was a relic of a battlefield, an endless plain.

But until now, standing on the top of the mountain range and looking towards the ends on both sides, in the black and gray snow fog, the slightly rounded peaks surround the entire plain.

He suddenly realized that the place he had walked for a long time might be just a bomb crater left over from a certain battle!

What kind of terrible war weapon can cause this?

Compared to this huge plain-like crater, the existence of human beings is as insignificant as a speck of dust.

The gunpowder-like smoke finally dissipated as Cheng Rang moved away from the huge "crater".

But he couldn't use that huge trace to speculate that the race caused this result.

This thing is more than [-] times more shocking than the strongest weapon that humans can create under the general technology tree - the nuclear bomb.

When Cheng Rang was still indulging in the shock of the traces left by the unknown weapon just now, there was a slight vibration from the ground under his feet, which immediately caught his attention.

Put your hand on the ground and carefully feel the direction of the vibration, it should not be very far from here.

Cheng Rang, who hadn't seen any living creatures for a whole week, felt that he should at least investigate what it was, so that he could confirm to some extent what race's sphere of influence he might be in, otherwise he would meet another one like before. Apart from wasting more time and gaining a better understanding of how tragic this war is, there is no other help for him.

......

This weak vibration was also felt by another group of people. There were three figures in animal skin cloaks. They seemed to have made an appointment. They lowered their postures at the same time and rushed into the darkness to hide.

These three people are human beings who came here in order to find information, materials, and data that could be used in the goblin airship that fell here due to the conflict a few weeks ago.

——Ewan tried to suppress his rapid heartbeat.

He held his breath, shrunk his body, and looked at Rick and Yalei who were also hiding their figures.

And Yalei's eyes subconsciously looked at the expressionless Rick, obviously this boy whose eyes were as calm as a pool of stagnant water was the leader of the three.

Rick took off his gloves, took out the knife, and sliced ​​the tip of his index finger thin without hesitation.Press the exposed nerves to the ground, use your fingertips to collect the information from the ground, put your other hand behind your ear, and listen intently.

Don't consider the method of visual confirmation, because poking your head out is a suicide act.

However, lying on the ground with the ear close to the ground is not considered, because the ears are also used to hear sounds other than the ground.

Rick used such a reasonable method to analyze the information leaked by the enemy unintentionally.

Even if it's just vibrations and sounds, a fairly specific consultation can be deduced depending on the degree and rhythm.

Ewan licked the chapped lips on the inside of the dust mask, and watched the gesture conveyed by Rick—about fifty meters away, walking on two legs, one...

([-] meters away, bipedal, clumsy and slow, [-] meters tall, impossible to be human.)

Cheng Rang, who put his hands on the ground to sense the presence of distant moving objects, got more accurate results than Rick.

Hey, are you a liar?Evan was sweating coldly on his back.

With a body three times larger than that of a human being, and slow movements—that meant that the other party was looking for something.

Then, a deafening roar echoed all around

what is that?Cheng Rang suddenly raised his head and narrowed his eyes. Hiding behind the rock, he heard voices from other races for the first time.

(—Damn it! It’s a demon!!)

Without waiting for Rick's gesture, Ivan has already confirmed that it is a monster created by the sudden mutation of the phantasmagoria - "Devil King".

Basically, they are monsters with low intelligence, and it can be said that they are beasts with half-intelligence.

They have terrifying power, yet let "prey" like Iwan discover its existence. Because they have half-reason, they also lost the instinct to sneak close to their prey, let alone walk around in such a place at the moment The demon species is even the lowest type among the demon species.

Probably an ogre or a troll—so would Ivan's strength be able to fight it?

Impossible, this is all too clear.

That's right - absolutely impossible.

No matter how low-level the monsters are, human beings will turn into lumps of meat as soon as they touch them.The reason why they don't take the instinctive actions of beasts such as realm and lurking is because there is no need for that.

With the weapons on his body, no, no matter how hard he prepares, there is no demon species that humans can kill.

And it doesn't make sense to do that.

Even if you use wisdom, strategy, and traps to successfully defeat a demon species, what's the point?

They will only be discovered by highly intelligent high-level monsters, and they will be determined to be a "threat" to them by human beings, and then they will be wiped out without any resistance.

Run away..... there are no other options to consider.

"We neither exist nor can we exist, because by not existing we will not be

find. "

Humans are not allowed to resist, they can only be "prey" to be hunted

"Iwan, this is an order."

Ewan turned his head slowly and looked at Rick. He had already guessed what he would hear next.

Rick told him.

"I order you to die here."

"Swear to the will, leave it to me."

Evan agreed without hesitation with a wry smile.

He handed the luggage on his back to Yalei, and walked forward as a matter of course.

"Hey... hello...!"

Looking at Yalei who took the luggage with trembling hands, Ivan smiled and comforted him: "You know it very well, Yalei. Someone must die at this time."

That's right, one person is the bait, and the remaining two people take the opportunity to escape. This is the only way.

Fifty meters, that's the distance a human being can run in about eight seconds.

If you encounter a monster species at such an extremely close range——you have no choice from the beginning.

If the three escape together, at best they will be discovered and wiped out, at worst they will be tracked to the settlement—the "enemy" has that level of intelligence.

What Rick was thinking about was who to sacrifice and where...that should be all.

"We can't lose Rick... Yalei, you're still young, so it's clear who we should let go of."

In order to protect friends and family, as a reason to die, there is no better than this, right?Evan patted Rick's shoulder thinking so much: "Then I'm leaving, Rick. My family—my child is up to you."

Rick didn't move, he didn't take his eyes off, stared straight at Ewan, nodded and replied: "Okay, leave it to me."

......

Just when Cheng Rang collected information about the monster and was about to avoid it and leave, a human roar suddenly cut through the dead air, shaking the bright blue black ash.

"Haha! I'm here, come and chase me!!!"

what? !

Shocked that there were still humans nearby, Cheng Rang lifted his cloak and leaned over from behind the rock, looking at the huge wreckage of the airship not far away.

A male figure was yelling loudly while running crazily while waving his arms, and the giant monster that attracted his attention was closely followed behind him.

Is that a demon?

Is this human crazy!

As soon as such thoughts flashed in his mind, Cheng Rang immediately noticed two other traces of humans fleeing from the opposite direction.

.....

"I see."

Is this the reason why human beings can survive so far in this world?

"But since it took me so long to find it...then you can't just die in front of me so easily."

With a soft sound, Cheng Rang's thumb pushed the knife, and the snow-white long knife—Chu Xin, revealed her deadly edge in the dark.

After reconfirming that the intelligence of this demon species is low, and that it is the only one acting alone nearby, Cheng Rang finally slowly walked out of the rock used for hiding.

"As long as my knife is one step faster than your thoughts, you, who are dead, will not be able to detect the existence of human beings, right?"

When Ewan was overtaken by the giant monster behind him, he was about to close his eyes to welcome death, but found a little white glow in the distance in front of him.

That snow-white light is so dazzling...

It was so dazzling as if in the endless night, a ray of light that could severely cut off despair——

A...light called hope!
