Chapter 270

Then--

There was a strange glare in the purple eyes that made the two people stare at each other subconsciously.

Although the beastmen cannot use magic, they have physical abilities close to the physical limit. Under the premise of restricting the use of magic, individuals who can activate [Blood Evil] can even fight on par with the Flügel.

Therefore, striking first is the most correct choice, and due to racial talents, female vampire individuals have a considerable advantage over male individuals of other races.

That is - charm.

There is indeed nothing wrong with this idea...but.

【Ding! 】

[Due to the skill effects of "Will Strengthening" and "Full Resistance", the player is immune to this enemy's ability: "Charm"]

"Ah?"

The ability that he had always been proud of had no effect, and the vampire couldn't help but let out a soft cry of surprise, and at this moment.

That "orc" moved...

brush--! boom!

The explosion caused by breaking through the air barrier shook the surprised vampire back to his senses, and he was annoyed to find that the other party wanted to rely on speed to break through the encirclement.

Being fooled? !

So she immediately waved and shouted: "Want to run away? Stop him!"

Chapter 27 Escape

Following this shout, dense magic bullets came oncoming, and the scorching bullet marks cut through the rain curtain with dazzling light.

It was too dangerous to fight here. Cheng Rang's understanding of various races only stayed within the theoretical scope told by Hubie and Rick, including the fact that when he first arrived at this time, the plain that trapped him for seven days was just a huge bomb crater. Condition.

The opponent's numbers are superior, and their attack and destructive capabilities are unknown. Cheng Rang was also constrained not to expose himself

race.

If other races discover that humans actually exist like themselves, then Rick and the others will suffer a disaster.

If you are not exposed, you can choose to escape and annihilate them, or you can scare the opponent away without annihilating them.

But if, even if there is a 1% chance of exposing yourself, there is only one way to choose——

...

Such a movement must be considerable, not to mention that Cheng Rang had no way of knowing whether there were other beings peering into the battlefield.

It is the tiny happiness of human beings in this desperate world, the innocent smiles of children, the warmth of them listening to stories by their side with expectant faces, and the still plain love in the dark.

It is the prayer that everyone wants to continue living in despair.

Without complete certainty, Cheng Rang would never be so selfish as to risk everything they have to fight here.

You may also feel that this will become a burden on you, but in your life of several months, as a human being, you are a creature with emotions after all.

It was a completely different time in both HL and Little Garden. There were no explosions at any time, and there was no sudden appearance of the Demon King.

Even in such a [war], life is still simple and ordinary. It is this kind of life that allows Hubie to understand part of the 'heart'.

She learned what joy was, the joy that even mechas who thought they had no heart could experience it here.

That alone is enough for you to cherish.

The bullet mark passed by him, and the impact caused a deafening explosion in the distance. Cheng Rang immediately turned away from his destination.

Not only is it close to the settlement - it is also too close to the place where the underground water source collapses!

For these races that can drive elves to use magic, or even those that can fly, tens of kilometers are basically a blink of an eye.

Just like what Hubi did at the beginning, without using the elves, using only the power of the machine itself, the five-day journey can be reduced to a few hours.

The enemies behind him were chasing after him, and the attacks that fell around him made the ground beneath his feet tremble. Every vibration seemed to ring the bell of despair towards Rick, who was waiting for his return in the settlement.

...

The calm water flow rippled like vibrations. Ke Long was working hard to collect the increasingly weak water flow next to the excavated underground spring and store it in advance.

These are the guarantees for people's survival. There are two thousand people in the settlement, and the daily consumption of fresh water is by no means a small amount. Although every household also has a container for storing water, during this period when replenishment is becoming increasingly difficult, the amount of fresh water consumed is by no means a small amount. There is a situation that is about to bottom out.

——————————

"One is hiding and hiding. It's really annoying. The cat and mouse game is almost over!"

The vampire we first encountered had a ferocious face, "You have consumed so many of our elves, so I must drain every drop of blood from your body!"

Cheng Rang, who was surrounded by two other vampires, took a moment to glance at the vampire who suddenly stopped. She was raising her arms and unfolding a light blue spell formation.

"Freezing wind!"

The vampires chasing behind them quickly retreated to both sides, and the invisible storm raged behind them, freezing the rain curtain between the two into broken hail and hitting the ground.

When dealing with agile individuals in the rain, it would be very difficult to use such a large-scale ice magic to block the movement.

Kara la....

Frost quickly condensed on the edge of the cloak that was soaked by the black rain. The freezing wind was so large that Cheng Rang could not avoid it at his current speed.

Although among the people Cheng Rang knew, Stephen was also someone who used ice-based abilities to fight, but the blood fighting technique and the magic released by vampires were not at the same level at all.

This is the essential gap between humans and the alien species created by gods.

Although, the Yaguri are not 100% human beings... and they are incomparable to the humans here.

The battlefield that was originally as hot as the dog days of summer suddenly turned into a world of ice and snow, and it was bone-chilling cold.

[Due to the "Full Resistance" skill effect, it resisted the abnormal state: freezing]

[Current abnormal effect: deceleration]

[Due to the "Full Resistance" skill effect, the abnormal effect: slowdown is weakened]

Cheng Rang's pace only slowed down for a moment, and then resumed, even worse than before.

The figure of the "orc" ejected on the ice field, and disappeared after a few leaps.

The two vampire women who were unable to pursue them because they had to avoid their own attacks also returned to their original place and complained to the attacking vampire woman:

"What! Wei Ya, didn't you let him run away?"

"What a shame, Brota!" The vampire woman named Wei Ya bit her finger with an expression of unwillingness, "My freezing wind clearly hit him, but it had no effect at all... maybe That guy is not a beastman at all."

"Not a beastman?"

"Damn...it's so tightly covered that you can't tell what race it is, and there's no reaction from the elves. Could it be because of the black rain? But -"

Wei Ya put down her hand and a seductive smile appeared on her lips: "This makes me even more curious~"

Her eyes turned to the direction Cheng Rang came from, and her purple eyes lit up strangely.

"You obviously have the strength to fight, but you keep choosing to run away.

Maybe he is doing something bad that cannot be known~"

Saying this, Huan Huan's concealment was activated, and the figures of the three vampires melted into the rain curtain and disappeared.

Cheng Rang stopped and put down the hand holding his hood. The three vampires he sensed were no longer moving, but were leaving in the opposite direction.

"Have you given up?"

Cheng Rang finally relaxed a little at this time.

But in terms of speed, vampires are not superior and can easily escape. It's better to do less than to do more.

Although the vampire team, whose entire whereabouts were known by the Mind Eye skill, activated the concealment effect of their racial characteristics, they had no idea that their trajectory had been exposed to Cheng Rang.

After confirming on the spot that they really had no intention of continuing to catch up or even secretly surround him, Cheng Rang slowed down and headed back towards the destination, which was at least hundreds of kilometers away.

Just keep a low profile... Maybe you'll run into other races again. If you can escape this time, you might not be able to escape next time.

Cheng Rang was never burdened with his own safety, but with the survival of the human race in this world.

[Main Mission-Immunity: Ensure the survival of humanity on this planet until the end of the war, and be recognized as the sixteenth race (in progress)]

There is no progress display, so it seems that it is not a task that can be advanced by progress.

At the moment when he ran into a vampire head-on, the system's main task was activated, which also reminded Cheng Rang that it was best not to reveal his identity when he was unsure.

After all, he roughly knew from one meeting that if he let go, the three vampires wouldn't even be able to survive a round under his hands.

If you want to say why...

Cheng Rang has dealt with vampires for more than a year, and he can be called a vampire killer.

In Cheng Rang's eyes, this kind of "mutant vampire" who couldn't recover from his injuries quickly only had more troublesome means of escaping.

At this time, at the edge of the messy battlefield, the figure of the fourth vampire emerged from the mountains of rocks again. The bat wings behind her grew larger, flapped, and flew high into the sky in the blink of an eye.

As the scout responsible for concealing and detecting intelligence in the four-person team, she has been hiding and has not been discovered, and is preparing to bring the intelligence just now back to the base.

"Weiya, please stay hidden during my absence."

"I got it~ It won't be a problem."

The caution inherited from Rick was spot on.

Even half-smart demon species need to be wary of following humans to find settlements, let alone vampire species with complete intelligence.

If in another situation, Cheng Rang chooses to take action, then there might be trouble.

But even so, the direction in which the three vampires were heading was still following the traces of Cheng Rang's arrival.

The end of this trace is the settlement where Rick and others are hiding.

Chapter 28 Mercy from Death

"arrive...."

Looking at the naturally formed cave in front of him, Cheng Rang put away the map and walked inside.

The patter of rain outside the cave gradually became muffled as it went deeper into the cave, and was masked by the crisp sound of water drops.

Water drops slowly drip down the tips of the stalactites and stalagmites on the roof of the cave, forming shallow muddy puddles, which have a unique rhythm when you step on them.

Cheng Rang took a flashlight from the system backpack and shined the light beam toward the bottom of the dark cave diagonally downwards. It seemed to be a rugged passage and it was not possible to see the bottom at a glance.

A closer look at the cave walls reveals slight cracks.

"There is a real possibility of collapse."

Continuing deeper, the passage gradually narrowed to the point where one could only pass sideways. The moist smell mixed with the smell of earth filled his nose. Cheng Rang had to put the long knife at his waist into his backpack to pass through the pass.

After turning a corner, the light reflected by the flashlight on the cave wall was swallowed up in a blink of an eye, as if it had been absorbed, making it difficult to illuminate the road ahead.

The beam of light sweeps to the edge as the wrist moves downward...

A huge hole appeared in front of him, cutting off the road into a cliff with no bottom.

"This...is this the effect of a landslide?"

Since it is an almost completely closed cavity, with only the weak light of the flashlight in my hand, I cannot even reach the opposite rock wall before being engulfed in darkness. Under the sweep, except for the faint dust that can outline the flashlight beam, nothing can be seen. The look of the end.

Preliminary estimates indicate that the size of this hollow compared to the pass where it is located is about the size of a grain of rice on a goblin airship.

To be honest, this thing is a bit exaggerated.

Maybe the entire mountain behind the entrance to the outside has become an empty shell. Counting the underground area, the ground below is empty for a radius of more than ten kilometers.

"How to solve this?"

Cheng Rang took out the map again and illuminated it with a flashlight.

Compared with the current position, the path that should have been the underground water veins was just crossed by this hole. It can be roughly compared to a complete straw that was cut off in the middle, and then the two sides were connected to a large water tank. The water flows out of the other end of the straw and never reaches the end.

Unless this huge water tank can be filled to the water line where the straw is at the other end, circulation will not be possible

:9.,3h:""6!,1:3";5."

The issue is--

Cheng Rang stuck his head out from the edge of the cliff and looked down. The gravel kicked off by his feet fell into the bottomless darkness. After a long time, no sound was heard.
