Chapter 2879 Cannon Fodder
There, sitting at the side of the cliff, was a yellow flower that exuded powerful waves of
spiritual energy. It also gave off a pleasant scent.
It was obviously much stronger than the herbs that had grown before the spiritual energy
changed them.
That particular flower was born from the spiritual energy revival, and it was incredibly
strong.
Even a deity greatly influenced by the spiritual energy could benefit from a flower like
that.
A regular fighter would get so much more from the plant.
Hence, if anyone saw that flower, they would go crazy and do anything to get their hands
on it.
The youngsters from Jeradus finally took care of the wolves.
They were quick to divide the wolves up among themselves, and they were all delighted to
receive their prize.
One of the youngsters is Gideon, who is the son of a deity in Jeradus.
He was well-respected and was known as the Son of Deity.
His identity, paired with his incredible skill, made him one of the more promising
youngsters in Jeradus.

In fact, he did most of the heavy lifting when they fought the mutated wolves.
Gideon shifted his gaze and looked in the direction Levi and the others had left in.
A hint of cautiousness and curiosity shone on his face.
“Shall we follow those guys and see what they’re up to?” he asked.
“No, let’s not do that. Four countries have marked that spot as a restricted area, and there
is danger of unknown magnitude in there. Only Deities are allowed to enter,” said one of
the men present.
Many countries had marked multiple spots as restricted areas.
Those areas could not be explored until a Deity had marked it as safe.
No one else was allowed to enter.
Gideon and the others were in the region deemed safe by a Deity.
Dangerous creatures were there as well, but those weren’t anything Gideon and the others
couldn’t handle. At the very least, the men wouldn’t die instantly in a fight against those
creatures.
The place where Levi and the others had ventured into, however, was deemed to be
unsafe.
No Deity had explored it yet, so there was no saying how dangerous the place was.
That particular area was a Rank Three restricted area which meant it was possible that a
Deity level beast was inside.
There was no way Jeradus would let someone as promising as Gideon into a Rank Three
restricted area.
After all, the country would suffer a huge loss if he were to die there.
No one dared to venture into that area even though they knew they might get some
excellent resources.
Naturally, Gideon knew how dangerous a Rank Three restricted area was.
He only had that idea because he saw Levi and the others venturing in.
That means those strangers would be the first to get into trouble.
Gideon thought that Levi and the others would be the best distractions. If anything were to
go wrong, my men and I can flee before whatever beasts find us.
He wanted to use Levi and the others as protective shields and cannon fodder.
If they didn’t encounter any danger, Gideon and his men would steal whatever precious
resource Levi found.
On the other hand, if anything dangerous were to happen, Gideon and his men would flee
right away. The beast would probably be too busy dining on Levi and the others to care
about Gideon and his men, anyway.
Many were tempted after hearing what Gideon said.
If they had to venture in on their own, they would never agree to it.
Things were different with strangers acting as their cannon fodder.

“Then let’s try it out.”
“Okay, but remember, if anything goes wrong, we must work together to keep Gideon
safe,” reminded the older men.
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
At that moment, they regarded Gideon’s life as something even more precious than their
own life.
That was understandable since they practically regarded Deities as actual angels.
The citizens of their country assumed that a Deity’s heir would be extraordinary, so they
were adamant about protecting Gideon.
“Okay, then let’s hurry over!”
Gideon and his men ventured into the area to chase after Levi and the others.
When they got deeper into the restricted area, however, they became more cautious.
That was a Rank Three area, after all, so everyone was worried.
“Why is it so quiet? It’s strange that there aren’t even any beasts around.”
Everyone started discussing the matter.
The other parts of the forest didn’t have any beasts because they were either killed by
Gideon and his men or had fled.
Things were a little different in that restricted area, so the silence was strange.
