The other 'person' looked in the distance. Below the hill, there was a huge crater with a pile of steel piled inside.

It was the wreckage of an airborne battleship, a steel ship built by the Dwarves that could sail through the sky.

Not long ago, a conflict that was as devastating as the earth and sky had occurred in this area. A large number of creatures died, and black ash spread everywhere. The purpose of these three people was to pick up leaks here and search for available resources.

"Rick, what do you say?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ivan looked at the young man in the front, who was their leader.

The youngest of the three, his face was covered by a mask and goggles, no expression could be seen, only his dark eyes could be vaguely seen under the goggles.

They covered themselves with animal skins, moved in the shadows of rocks, and crawled on all fours like animals, in order to avoid being discovered by the enemy.

"...We have to proceed with caution and care."

The young man named Rick calmly warned that although the danger here is lower than other places, the threats from the outside world cannot be completely ignored.

"otherwise--"

Rick said nothing and made a throat-slitting gesture.

It was as if he was warning his two companions that they would die if they revealed their position.

"S-Sorry, I'm sorry, but you guys came over to look at this."

Yalei found something like a small box in the wreckage of the warship. It was a mechanical product made up of several blocks, like a puzzle.

However, he took the small object in his hand and twisted it vigorously, and the box suddenly emitted a three-dimensional projection of light.

"This is!"

Seeing the picture projected in the air, the three of them opened their eyes wide in surprise.

"A world map!?"

"Yes, and this seems to be the latest version!"

For humans, the world map, compared to the data they collected and their own measurements, the lines drawn by the light shot into the sky by the goblin technology extremely accurately distinguish the land and oceans of this world.

Because of the war, the terrain of this world is changing all the time.

World maps become extremely valuable.

“It’s not just a map.”

Rick said in a calm tone.

He saw the strategic map and the current distribution of forces on the map, from which he could infer the next strategic positions of other races and the places of their conflicts, which could greatly reduce the survival risk of the human race.

but.

Just as Rick and his crew were investigating the wreckage of the battleship in the giant pit, a figure stood alone on the cliff.

——Atreus Pantheon (Shen Yuan).

The dark grey light coming from the front outlined his silhouette, his heavy cloak and the tassels on his crown fluttered in the deadly wind, and the spear he held tightly in his hand stood at his side.

"I saw the faint flame of a soul."

Shen Yuan, who had just walked out of the ruins, appeared in this area.

Chapter 304: Sunfire Holy Shield! Instantly kill the demons!

The creatures on this land hate each other and engage in a series of brutal battles in order to eliminate enemies other than themselves.

For example, the elves would choose to establish small tribes as their bases and use magic to hunt down their enemies.

The beastmen were relatively barbaric and brutal, and would treat their enemies as prey and devour them completely.

War is the main theme here and it never stops.

In this situation, it would be a blessing for humans to encounter creatures like the Flügel, Dragonite, and Elves, because they would not eat humans. Even if they discovered these weak creatures like ants, they would rarely lower themselves to attack.

Because in their eyes, humans are not worth wasting their energy on, unless the other party is in a bad mood.

In contrast, if humans encounter demons or beastmen, it would be terrible. Both races are cannibals. Because food is scarce in this era of killing, they will choose to fill their stomachs with humans.

However, unlike most humans who are afraid of encountering orcs, Shen Yuan hopes to encounter any powerful race, whether it is demons, beastmen, dragons or goblins, he wants to study them, just like Jibril wants to study herself.

Unfortunately, Shen Yuan found nothing. He walked swaggeringly on the black and gray ruins, but could not see any living creatures.

This is such a sad thing!

"I'm right here, whether you're a demon or a beastman, come and attack me!"

Although Shen Yuan wanted to shout this, he was disappointed.

The climate here is like a severe winter, with temperatures around zero degrees Celsius. Black ash is constantly drifting across the vast wilderness. Besides the thick snow composed of black ash, there are only corpses and bones of unknown races on the roadside.

Even if it was an ogre or a demon beast, it would not risk being corroded by the black ash to attack this "human"-like creature under such circumstances.

In this situation, even Shen Yuan was a little curious about how the indigenous humans in this world survived.

Is it a miracle? Or is it God's will?

Shen Yuan continued to move forward with doubts, holding the Spear of God Slayer and the Holy Shield. There seemed to be stars twinkling on his midnight blue cloak. After shaking off the black ash, he finally found a man-made cave tunnel.

Judging from the snow at the entrance, this should be an abandoned place.

It was impossible to identify the specific race based on appearance alone, so he entered the ruins of an unknown race.

After taking just two steps, Shen Yuan saw the steel walls. Needless to say, he could guess that this was probably the remains of the goblins, because there were steampunk-style buildings everywhere. With such high recognition, it was hard not to guess that it was a goblin civilization.

The metal floor was littered with messy wires, scratches like those from wild beasts, some dried blood, and gnawed bones. This place must have been attacked by some kind of demonic species, and the goblins had to abandon this place and flee.

"From the looks of it, it's most likely an ogre or a giant monster. Of course, it could also be a Werebeast."

Shen Yuan made this judgment based on his intuition.

But when he continued to move forward, he found that he had stepped on something like a trap, and suddenly there was a ping-pong sound from the metal ruins.

"Looking at this, am I the prey?"

Shen Yuan did not immediately react with a fight, but instead acted as if he had no ill intentions.

"My friends over there, whether they're demons or beastmen, please put aside your hostility. I have no ill intentions in coming here."

"If possible, can I share some information with you?"

Facing such a rare creature, Shen Yuan had tried his best to appear harmless, but the more he did so, the more his enemies thought he was easy to bully.

Soul Insight.

The visible radius of vision is infinitely increased, and you can see through obstacles to see the enemy.

In an instant, Shen Yuan saw a huge humanoid monster moving towards him, about fifty meters away, walking on four legs, clumsy and slow-moving, and about six meters tall.

The other party has a huge body that is more than three times that of a human, and its slow movements seem to indicate that it is approaching with a fierce look, afraid of disturbing its prey.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have been scared to the point of breaking out in cold sweats.

Shen Yuan was still thinking about greeting the other party.

Then, a deafening roar echoed all around.

"A demon species?"

Shen Yuan was certain that he had encountered a monster created by the "Demon King", a mutant of the fantasy species, a giant monster that looked like an "ogre".

Basically, it is a monster with low intelligence, and can be said to be a beast without any wisdom.

"Can't communicate...?"

At the end of the tunnel, four monsters covered with black fur and with thick muscles appeared. Their bloody mouths were split halfway across their faces, and were filled with jagged fangs.

When Shen Yuan saw the monster attacking him without blinking, he showed a disappointed expression.

The ogres seemed to have made an agreement beforehand, and surrounded him, rushing forward, ready to tear him to pieces in an instant.

Even if you use the "voice of the heart" to convey words to the other person's heart, you cannot change their thoughts, and the outcome is already determined.

"Stupid decision!"

Looking at the ogres that suddenly rushed out from the darkness around the corner, they raised their fists like hammers and smashed towards them with all their might, but what responded to these ogres was not the flesh and blood bodies that were crushed into meat paste as they had imagined.

"boom--"

next moment.

The ogre's hammer smashed down on the spearman's holy shield. In an instant, a pillar of scorching flames like hellfire wrapped around the holy shield, spewing out devastating flames.

The "Sunfire Holy Shield" erupted with terrifying devouring flames. Shen Yuan just stood there, holding the Sunfire Holy Shield in one hand and the Undying Lance hanging naturally in the other hand. But even if it was only used for defense, the terrifying flames that backfired from the "Sunfire Holy Shield" devoured one of the attacking ogres, causing it to disappear from the world on the spot.

Black ash was floating in the air, and a huge human-shaped ashes fell to the ground, as if to prove its existence.

"Ah...Is he dead already? As expected, the Sunfire Aegis is still very powerful!"

Shen Yuan, wearing a golden helmet, glanced sideways at the dead ogre, as if feeling sorry for him.

"Roar?!"

At this moment, the remaining three ogres who were staring at him roared in fear and anger, their extraordinary intuition seemed to have sensed the crisis.

However, the opponent looked like a harmless animal in human form. Could it possibly threaten them?

No wonder ogres have low intelligence.

Following common sense, they surrounded Shen Yuan, trying to attack this rare food from the flank and rear as if to bypass the "Sunfire Holy Shield".

...

It's about three hundred meters away from here.

"There is a situation!"

Riku, Yare, and Ivan, who were exploring the ruins of the goblins, noticed the movement here.

"The footsteps are rapid and the ground is shaking violently. There are enemies!"

At this moment, a heavy vibration was faintly heard from the ground.

At that moment, the three of them were like frightened birds. They lowered their postures at the same time and rushed into the darkness to hide.

"Damn it! He's a demon!"

Without waiting for Rick to give any instructions, Ivan confirmed the identity of the owner of the footsteps.

"Want to run away?"

"The sound is coming from the exit. We need someone to divert them!"

Ivan said anxiously.

"You know this very well, Yalei. If a demon species really comes in, then someone must die."

One person acts as bait, and the other two take the opportunity to escape. This is how humans survive.

Sacrifice yourself to save others.

Encountering the demons at such a distance, it was impossible for them to escape unscathed. The question now was who to sacrifice.

"We can't lose Rick here yet. Yalei, you understand what I mean, right?"

"But - even so..."

Ivan smiled.

Then loosen the strap under your chin and slowly take off the dust mask.

"Ivan, you!?"

Breathing the cold air outside, Ivan felt the wind blowing in his face and seemed to experience the long-lost comfort.

"Don't mind me, Rick. I'll leave my family and my children in your care."

As a pretext for death, Ivan handed his mask and equipment to Yare and Rick, and then prepared to run loudly to distract the enemy.

But at this moment.

A scream came from the corner of the tunnel not far away, instantly startling Rick and his group.

"What, the situation!"

"Could it be that the enemy isn't just the Demonic...?!"

Suddenly, the three of them moved slowly in the shadows nervously, and then saw three huge ogres besieging an unknown race that looked like humans in an empty ruins hall.
