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

White wolves have far superior vision in the dark compared to humans.

Therefore, he walked at the front of the group, acting as a guide for Chu Yang and the other two.

Chu Yang walked behind him, his body wreathed in flames—this was Zhao Baining's [Fire Armor Technique].

Besides increasing defensive capabilities, this spell is also the most useful lighting spell in the current environment.

Of course, this technique would also make Chu Yang a prime target for enemy attacks, but Chu Yang didn't care.

This confidence stems from the +400 shield value per minute.

"Woohoo~!"

The three people and the dog wandered around the cave for a long time when suddenly the white wolf let out a wary howl.

"Watch out! Enemy!"

As a beast tamer, Zhou Yuan was in sync with his pet, and he issued a warning the moment he heard the white wolf howl.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yang saw three dark figures rushing towards them from the top of the cave ahead.

With a leap, the white wolf tore off a dark shadow, while two other dark shadows attacked Chu Yang.

Chu Yang stood in front, shield raised, completely unperturbed.

Even as the two dark figures pounced on them, they calmly observed them.

These are two humanoid monsters with rat heads and a pair of fleshy wings on their backs.

[Is this... a bat-man?]

The attack that the bat-man had just launched was quite powerful; Chu Yang's shield dropped by more than 150.

However, this bat-man was also ignited by Chu Yang's [Fire Armor Technique].

The damage from the fire wasn't high, but the bat-men seemed terrified of fire damage, emitting a sharp shriek.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chu Yang launched [Shield Charge] at the bat-man on the side, slamming him into the wall.

Then, during the time the target is stunned, [Shield Bash] and a normal attack are launched.

The other bat-man seemed to realize that its attack was useless against Chu Yang, so it cleverly bypassed Chu Yang and flew towards Zhou Yuan, who was controlling the white wolf.

Zhou Yuan, who was controlling the white wolf in battle, had no time to worry about himself and had to activate [Dodge] to retreat.

Suddenly a fireball flew from behind him, hitting the bat-man's left wing and causing him to fall to the ground.

Zhao Baining was about to unleash the Fire Ring spell on the bat-man again when she saw the bat-man, who had fallen to the ground, raise its head and emit an ultrasonic attack that was inaudible to everyone.

Waves of sound emanated from its mouth, interrupting Zhao Baining's spellcasting and causing Chu Yang and Zhou Yuan to experience brief dizziness.

As Zhao Baining recovered from her dizziness, the bat-man was already close to her.

The fire mage's skills are the most powerful among the seven classes at Tier 1, but they require a casting time.

Once the bat-men get close, it becomes difficult to cast spells successfully.

Zhou Yuan's skills are all linked with White Wolf. Seeing Zhao Bai Ning being chased by the bat-men in a sorry state, he immediately cast a spell to give White Wolf the last attack speed buff.

He then surprisingly put away his weapon, the spear, and with a single leap, caught the bat-man who was chasing Zhao Baining.

"I'll hold him tight, quickly cast the spell!"

The bat-man was much stronger than Zhou Yuan, but Zhao Baining's fireball spell had previously caused him severe damage.

Therefore, they were temporarily suppressed by Zhou Yuan.

Having temporarily escaped the bat-men, Zhao Baining didn't waste any words and immediately cast the [Fire Ring Technique]!

Fire elements condensed on Zhao Baining's spellbook. A few seconds later, Zhao Baining shouted, "Get out of the way!"

Several rings of fire began to rise from the ground. Zhou Yuan used a [Dodge] to dodge past the rings, while the bat-man was already bound within them.

Scorched by the flames, the bat-man let out a piercing scream and rolled on the ground.

Zhou Yuan summoned the Beastmaster's weapon, the spear, and unleashed a barrage of basic attacks on the bat-man!

Zhou Yuan only stopped when he heard the notification sound in his mind that the Bat-Man had died.

After Zhou Yuan and Zhao Baining joined forces to kill the bat-man, they looked in Chu Yang's direction, ready to help.

But then Chu Yang cornered a bat-man against the wall, slowly and steadily unleashing a series of basic attacks with his shield.

As for the bat-men's counterattack, Chu Yang endured it all without moving an inch.

While the bat-man lay motionless on the ground, Chu Yang appeared completely unharmed.

Within the [Gate Domain], although you cannot see other people's health and spirit values, your physical condition will deteriorate as these values ​​decrease, and you may even experience many negative effects.

For example, Zhao Baining was leaning against the wall, panting heavily, her face pale. Zhou Yuan was in a slightly better condition, but he also felt somewhat tired.

But Chu Yang, who had single-handedly withstood the attack of a bat-man and killed him, now looked as if he hadn't suffered any damage at all!

Zhou Yuan and Zhao Baining exchanged a glance, both showing surprise in their eyes.

Um... are the Shield Guards really that strong defensively?

As the two were marveling at Chu Yang's fighting prowess, Chu Yang charged toward the last bat-man entangled by the white wolf.

Speaking of which, the beast tamer's pet white wolf is quite remarkable, managing to hold off a bat-man for so long on its own.

Of course, with Chu Yang joining the battle, the bat-man was quickly eliminated.

The three people and the wolf got together. Zhao Baining, Zhou Yuan, and the white wolf all needed to rest and recover.

In the [Domain], if there is no profession like [Healer], the only way to slowly recover health and spirit is through rest.

Chu Yang had confirmed in the previous battle that the Bat-Men had no way to break through the shield, and was considering whether to act alone.

Six words suddenly echoed in his mind!

Brother, save us!

This sound didn't come from the small door!

Chu Yang looked at Zhou Yuan and Zhao Baining and asked, "Did you hear anything?"

Zhou Yuan and Zhao Baining shook their heads blankly.

At this moment, the voice in Chu Yang's mind rang out again: "Brother, they can't hear you. Little Grass is only connected to you spiritually."

Chu Yang asked himself, "Who are you?"

Little Grass replied, "Little Grass is also a member of the prehistoric human race. Many of my villagers were captured by these bat people."

Chu Yang recalled the mission prompt about rescuing the imprisoned humans, and he basically believed that the girl named Xiaocao was not lying.

[If this were a game, this little blade of grass would probably be the key NPC to completing the quest...]

"Okay, I'll come to rescue you. Tell me how to find you."

"Brother, the little grass will guide you."

Afterwards, Chu Yang asked Zhao Baining and Zhou Yuan how long it would take for their pet white wolf to recover. After learning that it would take at least another half hour, Chu Yang decided to leave alone.

"I know where those people are being held captive. I plan to go there first and leave marks along the way. You can follow me once you've recovered your health."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Baining said worriedly, "Isn't it too dangerous for you to be alone?!"

Zhou Yuan also said, "Yes, there are still more than five hours until the end of the level, so there's no need to rush, is there?"

Chu Yang said, "It's alright. I obtained powerful items from the first two doors. Even if there is danger, I'm confident I can escape."

Zhou Yuan and Zhao Bai Ning recalled how easily Chu Yang had killed the bat-man, so they stopped trying to stop him.

Finally, Zhao Baining said to Chu Yang, "You must be careful. We will come as soon as possible."

"Okay." Chu Yang nodded to the two of them and then left alone.
