[Super Powerful Thunderbolt Combo]

By perfectly utilizing the 100 COST, one can transform their body into a 5-meter-tall behemoth with a hard shell.

This is a rare combination among the ogre's alliances that boasts both good looks and high strength.

The ogre's two enormous claws gripped the clown and the ripper, their bodies curled up, their hard shells connecting under the pull of powerful muscles, forming a perfect sphere.

Then came the rolling motion. After the 5-meter-tall behemoth transformed into a sphere, it remained three meters tall. This three-meter-tall, indestructible sphere rolled irresistibly down the spiral-shaped passage of the Greedy Region.

Whether it was a pit trap or a spike trap, it was all smashed to pieces by this brute force. Such a loud noise naturally attracted the attention of the evil orcs here.

But their emergence only leads to more deaths.

The ogre rolled faster and faster, its shell, made from components of the Bomb Beetle, scattering countless sparks as it rolled, much like a flint striking metal.

The tiny spark swelled in the wind and transformed into a raging inferno, spiraling around the passage to the deepest part of the Greedy Region.

boom--

Like a meteorite falling, the impact was like a tidal wave, or the roar of the earth, erupting outward from the depths of the Greedy Region, along with the flames that spiraled down.

At the center of the impact, the giant sphere loosened its body, releasing the unharmed Ripper and the Terrifying Clown, while the cannibal remained unscathed.

The center of the pit was dark yet glittering with gold, a contradiction stemming from the gold coins piled up on the ground like an ocean.

Orcs have a more primitive barter system than humans, and do not rely on human currency, but orc bandits have always existed.

This is completely unreasonable. It's one thing to rob food, but what's the point of robbing wealth that is meaningless to orcs?

There is a reasonable explanation within the seemingly unreasonable.

The ogre turned its head in one direction, its scouting skill triggering a frantic warning. A bird's claw emerged from the darkness and landed on the gleaming gold coins. Then, as if merging with the darkness, a creature emerged, like a drop of light falling from the shadows.

If cannibals and multi-horned hybrids are anomalies resulting from bloodline mixing among orcs, then the individual before us, the race this individual represents, is not an orc at all.

[Hidden Feathered Crown Master LV200]

If you see a flock of crows staring at you unusually in the wilderness, especially if they are eyeing your wallet or weapons, it's best to check your belongings.

This is a bipedal bird-beast human whose basic skeleton resembles a hunched humanoid vulture, but whose key features are all those of a crow.

Its feathers were as black as night, but they lacked nobility, instead appearing greasy. On the enormous head of a raven were two amber gems, gleaming with wisdom and endless greed.

Its most distinctive feature is that it drags a huge sack made of tattered cloth, animal hides and metal pieces, roughly sewn together, which is filled with its "collection" and makes a jarring clanging noise when it walks.

Orcs are a type of demi-human, while bird-orcs are entirely monsters. The key difference lies in their reproductive systems; bird-orcs merely resemble humans in appearance.

Of course, this is a classification made by humans; it's not so precise for orcs, especially savage orcs. This reveals why savage orcs plunder wealth: their leader is a raven-bird orc who loves shiny things, and it is they who, as leaders, order the savage orcs to plunder.

Perhaps long, long ago, the bird-beastmen ruled over a group of savage orcs, specializing in raiding, and even all the orc bandit groups that were active may have been organized by these bird-beastmen.

"It seems there are no beast generals or beast kings here." The ogre scanned his surroundings but showed no signs of anything unusual.

Although there were many similar individuals hiding in the darkness besides the Feathered King in front of them, their levels were all below LV300, and they were not as powerful as the Beast King they had expected. At most, they were at the level of Beast General.

The three were somewhat disappointed, but at the same time, they realized something.

This land of greed may be the only, or even the first, place discovered that was not deliberately built by savage orcs with the goal of completing the Great Red Dragon Totem, but rather a region of original sin that appeared naturally.

The bird-beastmen, who had a fondness for shiny things, were attracted by the gold-rich terrain that allowed gold to accumulate in but not out, and they used this huge pit as a hiding place for their gold.

“Then let’s demolish this place while we’re at it. Taking down the oldest bandit group in this orc territory would be a great achievement.” The Ripper drew two willow-leaf knives, the gleaming blades attracting the greed in the eyes of the Feathered Man.

It opened its mouth and let out a piercing cry, a command, or perhaps an ominous death knell.

The surrounding darkness began to churn, and brownish-yellow hyenas crawled out from it.

Hyenas are among the most common orc bandits, not only traveling in large groups, but also possessing a rather cunning yet highly lethal tactic.

[Anal cleaning]

The advanced version of the Thousand Years of Death skill, which has a wicked sense of humor, may sound efficient and wicked, but it is actually a very powerful move.

Hyena-like monsters are quite adept at using this move, and they will suddenly use it when hunting large monsters; their claws have even been specially designed to counter it.

This tactic is also quite effective against humans, even somewhat targeted. Even the iron-clad suit, jokingly referred to as the coward's armor, has one undefended weakness underneath. Unless one is wearing iron underwear, hyena-like monsters can easily snipe it.

Of course, because of this overly useful skill, hyena-type monsters are also limited in their evolution, and both their size and level remain at a very low level.

Hyena-men are slightly better; they don't rely too much on the anal-splitting skill, so their physique and level are on average much higher than hyena-type monsters, but they will still use it when necessary.

The ogre instinctively clenched his buttocks, because his body had become monstrous, and that part of his body had also become larger, making it easier to reach out, which attracted the attention of the hyenas.

"If you're a true brother, protect me!"

"You're a tank! You expect us two guys, whose ass isn't even as hard as yours, to protect your ass? Are you kidding me?!" Ripper couldn't help but shout.

That's true. Ogres are monsters after they transform, and they're muscle monsters at that. Putting everything else aside, if a hyena dares to stab them, the ogre could crush the hyena's arm with just that muscle.

"But it will leave me with psychological trauma!"
