Chapter 318 Watch Me Clear the Level with One Life!

"Rick!"

Hearing his companion's call, Rick exhaled lightly, loosened his hand, and let the spirit body that was emitting a light blue glow like snowflakes drift away.

Even with fur gloves, it was very dangerous to touch the spirit body that was deadly to humans with bare hands. If the poisonous ash corroded the weak protection, the best result would be to lose an arm.

But both Rick, who was always rational, and his companions beside him turned a blind eye to such dangerous behavior. They just waved their hands vigorously and called their leader with proud expressions.

"I didn't expect that we would be so lucky to encounter a migrating wolf pack. Now we don't have to worry about the stored food or protective gear!"

The middle-aged man named Ivan skillfully threw the wolf corpse in his hand to a high place, letting it fall on the top of the corpse group that was already several people stacked up, and then excitedly pushed the cart next to him.

Rick walked over silently, looked at the number of wolf corpses in the cart, and shook his head gently.

"Not enough."

Although there were still a few such corpses beside Ivan, the boy had no intention of being satisfied.

"If it is used for daily consumption, it is more than enough, but as a vanguard to convey the will of God, these are not worth mentioning. We need to continue to expand the search range."

"I understand."

Hearing Rick's words, Ivan's excited expression also restrained, nodded seriously, and conveyed the order to his companions in the distance.

Compared with the previous exploration team of two or three people, which was mainly concealed, now there are dozens of people in the team, which is not small, but even so, in front of the wolf pack with hundreds of heads, it is still a very different comparison.

With this level of wild animal migration, even if Rick sticks to the base, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no casualties. Now he has wiped out the wolf pack with less than one-tenth of the main force, and there are no casualties on his side.

In the past, this was something Rick dared not even dream of, but now, it is just the most insignificant change brought by that adult.

Change is a good thing.

In the ironclad facts, the residents of the Kingdom of Elkia, or even all human beings, have almost taken this sentence as a creed.

In such an irresistible trend, Rick can only choose to stand on the unknown frontier.

Only the will of God Roland will last forever.

Rick silently recited this motto in his heart and looked at the distant sky.

Since Roland killed the Final Dragon and the God of Victory in succession, not only the high-ranking Flügel, but also the emotions of shock, amazement, and awe spread to every corner of the planet and spread among every race.

Everyone felt the feeling of impending storm and realized the bad situation.

In these days, even the conservative Dragon Spirits have begun to seek an alliance with the Fantasy, not to mention other races that have been preparing for war. In the face of a war that may break out at any time, no race can stay out of it.

Human beings are the first to bear the brunt.

Compared with other races, they are much more miserable. Not only are their tracks completely exposed, but they have also lost the protection of the gods. In this era when all races have begun to replenish supplies, their situation is like a country sandwiched between Russia and Germany, no, it is even worse than that.

Even if Rick started the plan of breaking up into pieces after Roland left, in just a few days, relying on human footwork, there are very few fires that can reach the designated location.

While Rick was restraining his despair and continuing to arrange true and false escape routes, Chroni informed him that Roland had returned to the Kingdom of Elkia.

So Rick made a decision on the spot.

He brought his sister, who was the queen in name, to plead with Roland, hoping to get his protection.

After making the request, Rick thought about many future situations of human beings. If it was better, it might remain the same as when Veleslana was there. If he was unlucky, he might become the other party's slave and never be freed.

However, no matter how bad it is, it is much better than death and extinction of the whole race. From an individual perspective, death is a relief, but from a race perspective, survival is hope.

But to his surprise, Roland readily agreed to his request and put forward a condition that surprised everyone.

"I want the human race to be the vanguard to convey my will."

The young man sitting on the throne said this in a matter-of-fact tone.

"It's too troublesome to go there one by one. You can form a vanguard and convey my will to them with actions. Surrender or die. Considering that the human race still has a promising future, starting from the tenth-ranked Mecha, I will deal with the races higher than it myself, but relatively speaking, the lower-ranked races will be left to you."

After Roland finished speaking, Rick's eyes widened.

He could understand Roland's idea. It would definitely be much easier to find someone to do it for him than to run over one by one.

And to be fair, the other party's request was not excessive. It was just a vanguard to convey the will, and it was not necessary to defeat the entire race.

All they had to do was invade the territories of other races and pass on their orders. After all, no race would be so ignorant as to refuse a request from the Old Gods, who were enjoying great popularity recently.

For any race except humans, this is a good opportunity to express loyalty and flattery. However, the weak human race is really powerless to receive such benefits from heaven, and may even be crushed to death by him.

However, after Rick was ready to risk being crushed to death to test how far he would go, the gods took the initiative to send blessings.

Rick still remembers those teasing and ecstatic words.

"Although it is not impossible to bestow the power of grace on you, judging from the growth rate of the human species, it is a bit too slow."

The blessings given by the gods have the power to expand one's own container and draw out the potential within it. However, the same blessings will have very different changes in different candidates and different races, and the time required to become stronger will also be very different. .

"——So, humans can become my dependents."

Then, the human species was given the blood and flesh of the gods.

After the overwhelming orange liquid submerged the Kingdom of Elkia, humanity took on a new look.

Although there is no change in appearance or ability, even without relying on the blessing of the gods, the strength gained through daily exercise is far greater than before, and with the blessing, there are new changes every day.

The most important thing is that there are several outstanding characters who have awakened the Elf Corridor and have the qualifications to become magicians.

According to what Rick got from the gods, this is proof that they are a native race.

"Although it's not very obvious, every human species in this world has a trace amount of magic in their bodies. If they continue to evolve without interference, maybe humans will become a magical civilization where magic is popularized by everyone."

With such relaxed and freehand words, the human species has undergone earth-shaking changes. Not only has its resistance to spiritual corpses been greatly improved, but its stronger physical strength and the possession of magicians who can use magic items have made them more efficient in both exploration and hunting. All increased significantly.

If the orcs were only used as the imaginary enemy, the current human race would have turned from an egg that could easily be broken into a hard nut to crack.

"Speaking of which, before that adult left, Rick, you received a second gift, right?"

Ivan asked curiously as he pushed the cart towards his companions.

The image of blood is the water that symbolizes the source of life. This is a gift that all people receive, but the deeper power needs to be sifted.

Not every human being can become a warrior, not to mention that even among warriors, the proportion of elites is only one in a hundred.

So far, apart from Croni, the only person qualified to receive the second gift is Rick.

"That's right, that's right, but I can't reveal it to you yet. After all, I haven't received the public permission from God Roland yet."

"I didn't mean to know. This is disrespectful to that adult." Ivan shrugged, as if joking, "I'm just curious. You who usually have a calm expression, now you have gained a new After the gift, I was so frightened that I trembled. What kind of ceremony was that?"

"..."

Rick smiled bitterly and subconsciously touched his neck.

"This answer is for you to experience by yourself in the future. Anyway, God has given us the props on how to start the second ceremony. After you have achieved greatness, I will personally act as the executor of your ceremony."

"As for now, it's better to leave cautiously. With so much stored food, I'm afraid it will attract some difficult guys like last time."

"good,"

Ivan nodded and was about to continue urging when another exclamation came over.

"Rick! An unknown enemy is approaching!"

That was the message sent by Ya Lei, who had been a member of the exploration team with them.

"Calm down! Give up the harvest, throw away all the excess weight, and prepare to escape!"

Rick said in a deep voice and gave the order calmly.

In an instant, only Ivan was left with the long knife from his waist, ready to stand by at any time. The same was true for his companions not far away. In many experiences in the past, Rick had already obtained everyone's skills. of trust.

As long as the other party gives an order, they will obey it whether it is fighting to the death or fleeing in despair.

As Rick walked towards higher ground, he took out the improved spiritual needle disk in his hand to sense the strength of the enemy.

But just halfway through, the boy's voice froze in place, and then he spoke in a sharp voice like a blade.

"Demons! All retreat!"

Ivan's legs started running instinctively, but the expression on his face was still slightly startled.

The monster species is a variant of the fantasy species. The monsters created by the devil are basically beasts with only half-smartness, such as ogres or trolls.

For humans in the past, even if the opponent was a low-level demon species that was not worth mentioning, it was enough to exterminate them.

Even if they lose their rationality and do not take vigilant or lurking instinctive actions, among the lower races, the demon species are still worthy of being strong. Most of the members of the former exploration team were sacrificed at the hands of the demon species.

But that's just the past. Today's human species, as long as they work together, have the ability to kill demon species. In fact, in the last hunting, it was Rick who completed this feat himself and gained the upgrade. Chance.

The doubts in Ivan's heart had not yet been answered, but the deafening roar that came from afar gave him the answer.

He suddenly turned back and looked at the figure in the distance that was getting closer and closer. It was three human heights, with jet black skin and sharp fangs protruding from its lower jaw. It looked like a legendary demon.

The most important thing is that after noticing Ivan's gaze, the tall and burly monster showed a humane smile, and then quickly moved in their direction, following at an unhurried speed.

Obviously, unlike most of its beast-like counterparts, it is a high-level demon species with high intelligence.

Cold sweat broke out on Ivan's back. There was an absolute power gap between the upper-level demon race and the lower-level race. It was simply not something they could conquer now.

Amidst the ferocious roar, Ivan barely suppressed his accelerated heartbeat, controlled his trembling hands, and soon caught up with the end of the team.

He can no longer move forward. As the strongest member of the exploration team, when necessary, he must sacrifice his life to delay time in order to protect more of his companions.

"Rick, we have been targeted, let me sacrifice."

Ivan smiled and looked at the silent boy beside him.

"No, Ivan. You will be the temporary leader of the hunting team and lead them back to the kingdom. I will meet you later."

"Rick, no, your value is much higher than mine..."

"That's why I do this. This is an order." Rick paused, and finally became slower and slower, waving to Ivan nonchalantly.

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back alive. By the way, if you come back earlier than me, go find Croni. Although you haven't noticed it yet, I have a hunch that you have achieved greatness. Ask and she will help you upgrade with bows and arrows.”

Bow and arrow?

Ivan still didn't understand the relationship between these two words and upgrade, but under the intimidation of the order and his trust in Rick, he had no choice but to continue running forward in silence.

Seeing his actions, Rick also took a deep breath, turned his head, looked at the superior demon species behind him who was staring at him with ferocious eyes, as if he was about to fly over and tear him apart in the next moment, and sighed.

"I really don't want to fight with super-class guys like you, but there's nothing I can do about it."

He touched his chest lightly, and then something incredible happened.

It was obviously a body of flesh and blood, but Rick's hand seemed to have no body, and he stretched it directly in. When he took his hand out again, he already held an exquisite flag there.

That's the game, the king of chess.

Rick stood silently, pulled out the long knife from his waist, and threw the chess piece in the direction of the demon species.

He couldn't help but think of the moment when the god he respected and admired shot his own neck with an arrow that grew out of flesh and blood and looked like amethyst.

Roland told him that as long as he believed in the power of the soul and guided it out, he would not die in this ceremony.

Facts have proved that although the other party often has a shockingly bad taste, he did not lie on this matter.

Using his current strength to fight against high-level demon species is enough to erase all the advantages brought by the protection, no, not just erase it.

Such a gap makes people wonder, is it really possible to fight with it?

From a practical point of view, this is absolutely impossible.

But...if it's a game, it's completely different.

"bring it on!"

Rick took a deep breath, and his lips unconsciously curled up with a hint of pleasure.

"——Watch me pass the level in one life!"
