Everyone's playing as a roguelike, starting with an extra Mythical Relic.

Shortly after Chu Yang entered Heming Village, the other four door-pushing people also began their actions.

The high school boy among the four possessed a reconnaissance skill, which they used to locate a lone elite orc.

However, this elite orc was much stronger than the ones they had encountered before, which led to the death of the tall young man among the four during the capture.

The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Damn! How come the elite orcs in this level are so much stronger than those in other levels! We fought four against one, and one of us died."

The high school boy said, "I don't know if this is an isolated case. If every elite orc in this level has the strength of the one we just saw, then we'll have a hard time from here on out."

"Without the shieldbearers absorbing the initial wave of damage, there's a risk of further casualties later on..."

Before the high school boy could say anything more, the girl beside him quickly interrupted, "Quiet! Listen! Can't you hear footsteps?! Run! Those ape-men might have discovered we're chasing us!"

In Heming Village, Tu Wenfan invited Chu Yang to his home as a guest.

Interestingly, this old man, Tu Wenfan, actually has three beautiful wives in his family.

The old man even arranged for his three wives to stand beside Chu Yang and urge him to drink.

"Come, come! This wine is a specialty of White Ape Mountain—White Ape Fruit Wine. A bottle of it is worth a thousand gold pieces among humans!"

Chu Yang, relying on his superior strength, did not refuse. He smiled, took the wine glass from the woman beside him, and drank it all in one gulp.

I must say, this fruit wine does taste really good; it's sweet, slightly intoxicating, and smooth on the throat.

However, just as he swallowed a mouthful of wine, the three women beside him suddenly grabbed him and pressed him firmly into the chair.

At the same time, an iron cage descended from the sky, trapping Chu Yang and the three women inside.

Chu Yang shook his body and easily sent the three women flying.

Three women rammed into the iron cage, but the cage didn't budge. Instead, the three women fell to the ground screaming in pain from the impact.

Chu Yang tossed aside his wine glass, showing no panic. He simply looked at the old man before him and calmly asked, "What are you doing, sir?"

Tu Wenfan laughed and said, "Haha, what are you doing? Didn't you say you wanted to get to know General White Ape? Isn't this giving you the opportunity?"

Chu Yang sighed and said, "It seems that what you said before about humans and beastmen being able to coexist peacefully was all a lie?"

Tu Wenfan laughed heartily: "Hahaha~! I'm dying of laughter! You young Awakened Ones are so naive, one or two of you actually believe that humans and orcs can live in peace!"

"You don't think those pigs outside can live so comfortably forever, do you?"

Chu Yang said, "No wonder you're the only old man in this village. Those humans outside are killed by the orcs once they reach a certain age, right?"

Tu Wenfan said smugly, "That's right! Do you know what I used to do? I used to raise pigs, and this Heming Village is a pigsty that I built single-handedly!"

"Once I learned that killing alien races could increase the strength of awakened individuals, I had the idea of ​​raising them as pets, but it's hateful that the human race wouldn't allow it!"

"Perhaps this is fate. I was later captured by the White Ape General and brought here. He was very supportive of my ideas!"

Tu Wenfan's words made Chu Yang understand the strange things in the village.

Why are there more women than men in the village? Because with the same supply of resources, this ratio can "produce" more people!

Why are there no elderly people in the village? Because as people get older, their fertility declines.

Why don't the men and women in the village have to work? Because their job is to reproduce!

Why do those orcs look at humans like they're pigs? Because this village itself is a pigsty!

Originally, Chu Yang planned to use Tu Wenfan to meet the White Ape General, but now he has changed his mind.

"As a human being, you help a different race to destroy your own kind; you deserve to die!"

Suddenly, flames erupted around Chu Yang, transforming him into a human torch as he passed through the iron cage.

Tu Wenfan was surprised and stepped back, but Chu Yang had already arrived in front of Tu Wenfan at an extremely fast speed.

He used one burning arm to tightly strangle Tuwenfan's neck!

The flames spread from Chu Yang's hand to Tu Wenfan, gradually igniting his entire body!

"Ah~!!!"

The burning Tuwenfan let out a miserable scream.

He tried to struggle and escape, but suddenly realized that his two legs had disappeared!

Because Chu Yang snapped his fingers!

"Snapped!"

This snap of the fingers instantly obliterated everything below Tu Wenfan's thighs.

This is Chu Yang intentionally controlling the damage range of [Shield Blast Technique], trying to use it to only injure people without killing them.

Clearly, the result was a success.

"No...this is impossible!"

Tu Wenfan once used this mechanism to imprison several awakened individuals, and none of them were able to escape.

This is because the iron cage is not only made of special materials, but also has special runes on it.

Besides the iron cage, the fruit wine from before also contained a specially made poison.

The reason why Tu Wenfan was willing to spend so much time talking to Chu Yang was because he was waiting for Chu Yang's poison to take effect.

For Tu Wenfan, everything should have been perfect.

Just like the previous times.

But this time, he encountered Chu Yang!

The poisoned wine had indeed been activated, and Chu Yang's attack power and magic power had been reduced to single digits.

However, Chu Yang's [Shield Burst Technique] is not affected by attack or spell power bonuses, but only by the shield value.

As for the iron cage, it was as if it didn't exist in front of the [Fire God Body].

"Ah~! Please...please!"

"Spare...my life! I...I can tell you where the other humans...are imprisoned!"

Tu Wenfan was being held in Chu Yang's hand, pleading incessantly.

However, Chu Yang ignored it, letting the burning flames devour him little by little!

This is the kind of pain the other person deserves!

A few minutes later, Tu Wenfan died; he was burned alive by Chu Yang.

The three women in the iron cage witnessed the whole thing and then fainted from fright.

Chu Yang casually tossed aside Tu Wenfan's remains and then walked out of the wooden house.

Outside, a group of orcs armed with weapons surrounded the area.

They were clearly drawn by the screams of Tuvenfan before his death.

And this is exactly what Chu Yang wanted to see.

Since no one will take him to find the White Ape General, then the White Ape General will have to come to him himself...
