It's normal for an evil god to raise an Abyss.

This is reality, a reality that is so brutal and unreasonable that leaves people speechless.

"Hey, Ivan, this is a great harvest!"

A loud shout that sounded a little shrill here came from behind, and Ivan turned around with his head in his hands.

A little further away, Yalei was waving his right hand excitedly, his eyes full of excitement:

"Come here quickly, this guy is incredible!"

Ivan glanced at Yalei coldly, then looked at Rick.

Rick didn't say anything either, he just raised one hand and made a throat-slitting gesture.

With just one movement, the originally excited Yalei suddenly put away his excited expression and his shoulders trembled.

Realizing his reckless behavior, Yalei lowered his voice a lot:

"Sorry... Anyway, please come over and take a look at this."

It was something like a small box, made up of several blocks intricately put together, like a puzzle.

Yalei twisted it hard, and the "box" suddenly emitted colorful light.

"This is--!"

Seeing the large image projected in the void, Ivan couldn't help but let out a joyful sound.

"No way, is this a world map?!"

"Yes, and this is the latest version!"

Although humans have made maps to some extent based on the collected data and their own measurements, they are far inferior to the precise lines of regional distinctions that are projected now, which accurately distinguish between land and sea.

Because of the war, the topography of this world is constantly being changed by those guys, so it goes without saying that the latest version of the map is very valuable.

"More than just a map,"

Compared to the other two, Rick's tone was much calmer.

"This is also the current strategic map and power distribution map. Although some codes are used, I can understand the language of the goblins, so it won't be difficult for me."

This means that as long as this information is mastered, it is very likely that the current battle situation can be calculated. As long as the battle situation can be calculated and the places where disputes may occur in the future can be calculated, it is possible to further estimate the backup living locations with relatively low risks.

This is an impeccable harvest. Rick calmly ordered:

"Ivan, Yalei, you compare and revise the left and right halves with the existing map respectively. I will copy the strategic and power distribution map."

Hearing this order, Ivan and Yalei could not hide their excitement and responded in unison:

"【Pledge to the will of the deceased!"

This is a vow made with the dead, and it is made publicly to express one's response, symbolizing the determination to carry on their legacy.

The three of them took out paper, ink, and measuring tools from their backpacks and began their work.

Although time was tight, they still carried out the measurements and copied the maps correctly in an orderly manner.

Yalei seemed to have suddenly thought of a "good idea" and asked:

"Rick, can't we just take this map projection device back with us?"

Chapter 76 Survival from desperate situation

Rick slowly raised his head, and Yalei continued:

"This is better. It's small enough to carry around, and we don't have to waste paper and time..."

"No, we can't take back things that rely on elves to operate. Hurry and copy them."

Before Rick could say anything, Ivan had already answered in the negative.

"But, if that's all..."

Yalei wanted to hold on a little longer.

"Yale...if you want to die, just tell me, I will grant your wish."

With a voice as sharp as a blade, Rick stopped Yalei from continuing to argue.

With a cold expression and dark murderous intent in his eyes that could not reflect any light, Rick continued to speak in a low voice:

"This is much more cost-effective than having the settlement razed to the ground by monsters that sense the elves' reactions."

"I know...I know. I was wrong..."

Yalei was shocked by Rick's angry expression and shook his head.

"But, there's no need for you to be so angry..."

"Yale, you won't forget our position, right?"

Ivan interrupted, his expression equally serious.

"[We neither exist nor can we exist, because if we don't exist we won't be discovered], dying because copying the map is too troublesome, this kind of death is too meaningless."

"…Sorry." Yalei apologized quietly.

At this moment, a heavy vibration was faintly heard from the ground, which immediately alerted the three people.

At the same moment, the three of them, as if they had already made an appointment, lowered their bodies and rushed into the darkness to hide.

Rick took off his gloves, took out a knife, and without hesitation, thinned the tip of his index finger.

He pressed the exposed nerves to the ground, using his fingertips to collect information coming from the floor, while placing his other hand behind his ear and listening intently.

Don’t even think about visual confirmation, because leaning out to look would be tantamount to an act of suicide;

Lying prone on the ground and listening with your ears is not an option, because your ears also need to listen to sounds other than the ground.

This is Rick, who has been using the most reasonable means to analyze the information accidentally leaked by the enemy.

Even if it is just vibration and sound, more specific information can be analyzed based on its degree and rhythm.

The companions learned the enemy's intelligence based on Rick's gestures.

The distance is about fifty meters. It walks on two legs, one leg. It is clumsy and slow, and about six meters tall.

Then, a deafening roar echoed all around.

(Damn it, it’s a demon!)

The ominous premonition came true in everyone's heart.

The demon species is a monster created by the mutant of the fantasy species - the [Demon King]. It is just a monster with low intelligence.

It is precisely because of this that they would not have the idea of ​​sneaking up on their prey, and the demon species that is looking for prey outside at this moment is the lowest type among all the demon species.

But even so, humans are helpless against it. Let alone killing it, even leaving a scar on its fur is difficult, and humans will be turned into minced meat if touched by it.

Furthermore, even if we use strategies and traps, it is meaningless to defeat a demon here.

If humans are discovered by highly intelligent higher-level demons and they determine that humans are a threat to them, then humans will truly face a devastating disaster.

Therefore, there is only one action to choose - escape.

[We neither exist nor can we exist, because if we do not exist we will not be discovered.]

Humans are not allowed to resist and can only be hunted [prey].

"Ivan, this is an order,"

Rick said to Ivan expressionlessly,

"I command you to die here."

"Swear to your will and leave it to me."

Ivan agreed without hesitation with an expected wry smile.

Ivan handed his luggage to Yalei and comforted the trembling Yalei:

"There is no other way. Now someone has to sacrifice here."

The only way was for one person to act as bait while the other two took the opportunity to escape. The enemy was too close, and if they escaped together, they would be easily wiped out.

So the only thing we need to think about is who to sacrifice, and the answer is obvious.

"We can't lose Rick. Yalei, you're still young. If this is the case, then I'll have to go."

Ivan forced out a relieved smile.

"Don't mind. There is no better reason to die than to protect your companions and family."

"Then I'm leaving, Rick. I'll leave my family and my children in your care."

Rick remained motionless, staring at Ivan, and nodded in agreement:

"Okay, leave it to me."

"Yale, I'll leave Rick to you. Sorry, I have to leave first."

Ivan turned his back and waved.

-------------------------------------

Ivan, Rick and the others rushed out from their hiding places almost at the same time, but ran in opposite directions.

While Rick and the others lowered their bodies and ran away quietly, Ivan deliberately made noises while running away.

The enemy was easily attracted by Ivan's movement, roared, broke through the steel ruins, and rushed towards him.

The enemy was huge, just as previously speculated, with a body more than three times the size of a human, covered with black fur, extremely terrifying muscles, and jagged sharp teeth in the bloody mouth on its face.

Seeing that the monster was lured by him, Ivan couldn't help but laugh at it.

Even if you run as fast as you can, you can only delay it for a little longer. This is enough. This is the last job of your life, so try your best to do it well.

Rick, who was as close to me as a younger brother, would have to face countless more arduous, dangerous and difficult problems in the future. In comparison, I would be freed in a short while, which was too "happy".

The roar was getting closer and closer, and the monster's bloody mouth was only a few feet away from him. Ivan closed his eyes, waiting for the end of his life.

…………

What Iwan, who had his eyes closed, did not see was that the demon was chopped into pieces by several cold lights.

…………

Strange, is death such a painless thing?

Ivan was confused, and then he heard a young girl's voice:

"Uncle, how long do you expect to keep pretending to be dead?"

Ah, what a wonderful voice, maybe this is an angel... No!

Ivan realized something was wrong. Although it was unlikely, there was a very small chance that... he was not dead yet?

Ivan opened his eyes and saw two very beautiful girls standing in front of him who was crawling on the ground.

(If this isn’t the afterlife, then I must be hallucinating…)

Yi Wang, who had escaped from a desperate situation, looked at the two girls in front of him and sighed in his heart.

Chapter 77 Miraculous Reunion

Ivan opened his eyes and saw two girls with the same long white hair. The one in front was bending slightly and looking at him. Her pink eyes exuded friendliness and she stretched out her right hand as if trying to pull him up.

Ivan subconsciously jumped up from the ground and said to the two girls: "It's dangerous here. There are monsters. You..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized something was wrong. Yes, where is the monster?

That monster, the demon species, was roaring just now. It's impossible for it to shut up and leave on its own.

Ivan laughed at himself, wondering where his rationality had gone.

"Hmm... the monster you're talking about should be that guy." The girl pointed to the side.

Looking in the direction the girl pointed, the demon had been cut into several pieces with smooth cut surfaces, and it was already dead beyond deadness.

"This is..." Iwan was a little surprised. The demon species is not something that humans can contend with.
