"Then you are one of the participants in this war?" Shen Fu looked at these people up and down, "Speaking of which, I have traveled to many worlds and witnessed many wars, but this is the This is the first time I have seen a battlefield with such a disparity in strength. Your strength is also very different from the scale of this war."
"Participant?" Rick shook his head with a calm expression, "We are just ghosts on the battlefield. We neither exist nor can we exist. Because we will not be discovered if we do not exist, and only if we are not discovered can our race survive. "
Human beings are ghosts. This is not a metaphor, because no matter whether they are gods or other races, as long as humans are witnessed, they will be like ghosts exposed to the sun, melting away without any meaning or struggle, without even the slightest trace. None of them can stay. Even simply being involved in the aftermath of the war is enough to represent the extinction of civilization.
"You mean..." Shen Fu gradually put away the smile on his face, "In this world, the human race is as weak as you, so weak that they are not even qualified to be cannon fodder on the battlefield. ?”
"That's right."
A concise affirmation without even the need for justification.
In this era of war, human beings have become too fragile to the point where they are not qualified to struggle for individual survival, but must take the continuation of the entire "race" as a consideration for their actions.
The putrid smell wafted in the air, even covering up the aroma of the meat buns. It was the smell of death brought by black ash.
"Huh -" Shen Fu exhaled a long breath, "You can't pretend that you didn't hear it, because I am also a human being."
Shen Fu has been acting since the moment he entered this world and got along with Rick. Perhaps only this sigh mixed with his exhalation is real.
Rick, who had not yet reacted to the information spit out from the other party's mouth, suddenly changed his expression slightly.
Because there was a faint feeling of heavy vibration on the ground, and accompanied by a deafening roar, a huge figure appeared behind everyone.
——It’s a demon species!
Rick and the three of them broke out in cold sweat for a moment.
With a body that is more than three times that of a human being in height alone, it is a creature created by a mutant of the fantasy species, the Demon King.
They have low intelligence, but they possess far more terrifying power than beasts. Even if they are only the lowest level among demons, humans will turn into minced meat as long as they are lightly touched. That is a crushing level. There is no possibility of counterattack due to the gap.
Shen Fu frowned, as if he just realized the monster was approaching, and turned his head slightly.
"A low-level creature without intelligence, Esdeath."
As the last note that sounded like a person's name fell, the purple-haired woman among the people disappeared in an instant. The next moment, the huge body hit the ground in front of the people, giving Rick and the others a despairing fear just now. The huge monster turned into pieces of flesh that fell apart before it even had time to scream.
Without the joy of surviving the disaster, Rick and others fell into greater fear.
If there was just one demon species, the worst that could happen would be the death of a few of them, but what if it was a race that could easily kill even demon species? Once they set their sights on humans, the extinction of the entire human race is just a matter of their thoughts.
"I probably know the situation you are in at this time." Shen Fu stretched out his fingers to dip some of the monster's blood, and put the blue blood in front of his eyes, "This kind of creature has the breath of the gods, and under the influence of the gods, In the war, it is a miracle that a mortal without any extraordinary power can continue to this day."
Rick's face was expressionless. He must realize the current situation-human beings who should be ghosts are exposed to a powerful unknown.
As for Shen Fu who just said that he is also a human being, Rick cannot take any action until the information becomes clearer, because what is tied to him at this time is likely to be the survival of the entire human race.
"Where are your people gathered now? How many survivors are there left?" Shen Fu's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Rick's heart suddenly pounded, and he was thinking frantically about how to answer, but Shen Fu didn't seem to be expecting his answer. Instead, he stood up directly, and the invisible force restrained the three of Rick's bodies.
Then - the scene around the three people suddenly changed, as if in a dream, they appeared in the cave where their own settlement was hiding.
Hallucination? Or something else?
This is a natural underground cave with an open square that accommodates nearly two thousand human lives.
At this time, the residents who were working in the square discovered Shen Fu and Rick's group suddenly appearing in the middle. Like Rick, they immediately thought they were hallucinating before their eyes.
Until Shen Fu's voice resounded in everyone's mind.
"Let's establish a contract!" There was an unquestionable expression on Shen Fu's face, "I swear by my honor, the humans here will have our protection at the cost of obedience, unless the enemy steps on our bodies. , otherwise no human being will be harmed by any race!"
...
Three days have passed since the day the oath was taken.
All the people who went out in the settlement have returned, and to this day, everyone's face is filled with an incredible sense of happiness.
Human travelers from another world, after learning about the plight of humans in this world, not only provided them with delicious food and soft clothes, but also provided them with the most important thing, shelter for survival.
"Master Shen and the others are back!"
Someone shouted, and everyone put down their work and gathered in the large square.
They have to use their own eyes to confirm the news and make sure that the kind man is still here and will not suddenly disappear after a certain trip, and then they will fall from heaven to the boundless hell again.
Everyone looked at Shen Fu and the others with reverence. In just three days, Shen Fu's status here even surpassed that of Rick, the "leader", because a leader just led everyone around. Struggling hard in this world of war, but another person can bring everyone a happy life.
"Everyone, come here."
Shen Fu smiled and waved, and everyone gathered around spontaneously.
Compared with the previous struggle and numbness, there was something unprecedented in each of their eyes at this time, and that was hope.
"This time, we found the latest version of the world map from the wreckage of the previous goblin sky battleship. This is a good start. Everyone still remembers what I said. We will not stay in this world forever. But we will continue to protect you until this war is completely ended, so please hold on to this expectation and work hard with the goal of rebuilding human civilization in this world."
