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

"Isn't that enough?"

At the summit of White Ape Mountain, dozens of human corpses lay scattered on the ground.

Atop the pile of corpses sat a white ape-man.

He was General White Ape.

Since he began to cultivate humans and obtain a continuous stream of "talents", his cultivation level quickly reached Level 9 of the 1st rank.

However, it took him 10 years to reach the perfect level 10 from level 9, and he still couldn't get past it.

"Is it really because I've killed mostly captive animals that I haven't been able to reach level 10?"

The white ape turned to look at the three bound men who had pushed open the door and said, "Untie them."

"Come here! You three! Kill me and I'll let you go!"

The three people who pushed open the door spoke to Bai Yuanchong, and surprisingly, they used standard human language.

In Heming Village, Chu Yang walked out of Tu Wenfan's house, and the orcs outside all took a half step back in unison.

Because Chu Yang was still in the form of the [Fire God Body] at this moment.

Orcs are naturally afraid of fire, and seeing this fire-breathing human made them instinctively feel fear.

They remained still, but Chu Yang made the first move.

In his [Vulcan Body] state, Chu Yang moved with incredible speed, arriving in the middle of the ape-man group in the blink of an eye, and snapped his fingers.

This time, he did not suppress the power of [Shield Burst Technique].

The space within its four-meter semicircle suddenly distorted, and dozens of orcs, whether elite or ordinary, vanished instantly!

A tremendous vacuum suction suddenly appeared, pulling the surrounding orcs backward and sending them flying toward Chu Yang.

Still in a daze, the orc launched a barrage of attacks on Chu Yang, resulting in a high frequency of triggering Chu Yang's [Pain Echo] rune effect.

Two seconds later, Chu Yang's [Shield Blast Technique] was off cooldown!

With the second snap of the fingers, another group of orcs vanished!

In less than ten seconds, more than half of the ape-men present were dead!

This terrifying scene instantly robbed the surrounding orcs of their courage to fight Chu Yang.

What followed was Chu Yang's frequent escapes.

"Ah~!!!"

The person pushing the door cannot directly determine the orc's rank; the system will only provide a notification after damage has been caused.

Therefore, Chu Yang could only catch up with a few orcs with relatively strong auras and use the ignition effect of the [Fire God Body] to obtain information feedback from the system.

He then used the [Shield Blast] spell, which controlled the damage area, to cripple the elite orc he had targeted.

When these elite orcs' health drops below 10% (red health), they can be captured using the improved spirit beast bag given to him by Liu Yuanliang.

The entire Heming Village has several thousand humans and nearly a thousand beastmen.

Chu Yang was already furious at the orcs' behavior of raising people like pigs, and he wanted to make a big fuss, so he ruthlessly killed almost every orc he saw.

Ironically, the humans in this village were also helping the orcs besiege them.

After confirming with Xiao Men that killing the humans here would not be considered a sin against humanity, Chu Yang...

He simply used his [Fire God Body] to burn the entire village to the ground!

A raging fire broke out halfway up White Ape Mountain!

At the summit of White Ape Mountain, General White Ape, who was nearly at the pinnacle of the Awakened Realm in the Dust Ruins Realm, easily defeated three people who pushed open the door, killing them all.

However, he still failed to reach the first-level Great Perfection.

"Still not working? Looks like I'll have to go to Beast God Mountain after all..."

Just then, several orcs rushed up the mountain in a great hurry.

"Chief...Chief! Something terrible has happened! Someone is massacring Naruto Village...and setting it on fire!"

General White Ape frowned and asked, "Hmm?! Which faction did this? Wild Boar Forest or Rhinoceros Horn Beach?!"

The orc who brought the news cried out urgently, "No, it's not! It's...it's a fire demon!"

"Go and call Ape Two and Ape Three! Tell them to bring all their brothers and come down the mountain with me!"

After speaking, General White Ape kicked the corpse beneath him away and then pulled out the rapier that was buried under the corpse.

The sword wasn't actually thin; it just appeared slender in the hands of the massive white ape general.

His weapon was a sword, yet when he killed the three door-openers single-handedly, he didn't even draw his sword!

"Quack, quack!"

Wan Tong hovered above Chu Yang's head, relaying the information he had seen to him one by one.

When Chu Yang learned that over a thousand of the most elite orcs from White Ape Mountain were coming to capture him, he wasn't worried at all.

Instead, it stopped on a mountain road that was five or six meters wide.

This mountain road is very long, with cliffs on both sides.

In a battle like this, escaping would be very difficult.

He fought the ape-men in Heming Village because the terrain was too vast.

So of the thousands of beastmen in the village, Chu Yang only killed about two hundred; the rest fled, many of them heading up the mountain.

Therefore, Chu Yang chose this place as the location for the battle this time.

The beastmen under General White Ape were mostly ape-men, and they were very agile as they moved through the mountains and forests.

"Aww~!"

More than ten minutes later, Chu Yang heard the cries of a large group of monkeys.

He knew that the ape-man he had been waiting for had arrived.

"Splash~"

A barrage of arrows, rocks, and magical missiles flew in from the other end of the mountain path.

This is an attack launched by a mid-to-long-range awakened ape-man against Chu Yang.

Seeing this, Chu Yang did not dodge, nor did he even bother to summon his shield. He simply charged straight towards the ape army opposite him!

Because of the presence of the [Bloodlust Pendant - Purple] and [Afterglow Core - Pink], his [Shield Burst Technique] grants him a shield equal to 20% of the target's maximum health for each target he kills.

In addition, with his existing shield value of over 20, he is now fully capable of facing long-range attacks at the army level.

Speaking of the combination of these two relics, Chu Yang initially thought it would restore 20% of his health as a result of the damage from his [Shield Blast Technique].

However, in his previous battle with Narumura, he discovered that this was not the case.

It turns out that the [Bloodlust Pendant - Purple] relic restores 20% of the actual damage dealt.

In other words, the damage from [Shield Blast] exceeding the enemy's maximum health is not converted into health recovery.

This is actually normal. If overflow damage could also restore shields, then Chu Yang's shield value could reach over 1000 million after a single battle...

Let's get back to the battle.

With over 20 shield points, Chu Yang charged towards the opposing ape army in his [Vulcan Body] form.

At this moment, his movement speed reached 26 points, and when he ran at full speed, he was almost a blur.

When he rushed in front of the first ape-man, he still had over 16 shield points.

"Snapped!"

The first snap of the fingers was made.

On this mountain road, which is only five or six meters wide, the ape-man formation in front of Chu Yang instantly created a large, arc-shaped vacuum.

Then the blood and the ape-man were pulled into the area by the vacuum suction.

In that instant, Chu Yang instantly killed more than thirty ape-men, and his shield value suddenly increased by more than 7000.

He then charged into the ape-men, and because of the [Fire God Body]'s ability to ignore physical obstacles, he easily reached the ape-men who were casting ranged spells.

This group has the highest damage output. If we take them out first, the remaining ape-man's damage will probably not even be as fast as his shield recovery rate.

Seeing the fire-man charging towards them, the surrounding ape-men unleashed their attacks.

And this is exactly what Chu Yang was hoping for!

The [Pain Echo] runes within his body were triggered continuously, and the cooldown of [Shield Blast] instantly returned!

"Snapped!"

A second snap!

A large number of ape-man remote awakeners have died!

The vacuum suction force reappeared, but besides the blood splattering everywhere and the wailing orcs, what flew backward toward Chu Yang was also an incredibly swift rapier.

The sword reached Chu Yang, but it wasn't completely blocked by his shield!

A red dot appeared on Chu Yang's shoulder, and his health points, which had never decreased before, also decreased for the first time!
