See? It's a trap, a very obvious trap. It's like catching a turtle in a jar. Miksen and Cangjue shielded Guo Xiaoxiao behind them, watching him warily.

Arthur's lips curled into a sinister smile as he slowly drew the bone knife from his side and said...

"I knew you were outside all along. If you hadn't come in today, I could have pretended not to see you. Why did you have to come and die?"

Guo Xiaoxiao said, "To lower their guard, to lure them in, where did you move the orcs?"

Actually, all three of them were wrong. Arthur hadn't canceled the patrol at all. Today was a special day, the day Arthur distributed the exotic fruits to the orcs. That night, many orcs gathered on the other side of the tribe.

The exotic fruit is a fruit that can enhance the strength of orcs. Arthur brought it back from a distant continent a few years ago. He discovered it by chance; this fruit was unpicked but particularly useful for improving abilities, so he put it to use.

While it can enhance abilities and accelerate breakthroughs, ultimately, it depends on one's own strength. Extraordinary fruits can only play a supporting role and cannot be decisive.

Arthur would set aside one day each month to distribute the fruits, and today happened to be the day for that.

Arthur had been observing the situation outside. Seeing Cang Jue and Mikeson sneaking around, trying to slip into his house, he knew they would still take the risk and get in.

Once you're here, don't leave. He gave them many opportunities, but they didn't cherish them, so don't blame him.

Arthur charged forward, brandishing his bone knife, trying to grab Guo Xiaoxiao.

Once the two of them team up, it will be very difficult for Arthur to succeed, as he won't be able to get close to Guo Xiaoxiao at all. And Guo Xiaoxiao doesn't want to be caught by him either, so she always hides in a corner and avoids him whenever she sees him.

Arthur can only deal with them one by one by separating them.

Mickson blocked Arthur's attack, and Cang Jue seized the opportunity to grab Guo Xiaoxiao and try to pull her away, transforming into an eagle and flying off. Arthur tried to rush over to stop him, but was entangled by Mickson.

"Cang Jue, let me go..."

Cang Jue held Guo Xiaoxiao's arm tightly; Guo Xiaoxiao still couldn't bear to part with Mikesen. All the beastmen outside the stone house had gathered, and Arthur told them not to go in, but to wait outside.

Cang Jue, a 4-star inherited orc, took Guo Xiaoxiao away. Arthur not interfering with him wasn't a big problem.

Mikson dodged Arthur's bone knife with a quick movement, and at the same time shouted to Cang Jue:

"Take Xiaoxiao with you, and remember to take good care of her."

"Want to leave? Dream on."

Arthur attacked again, and Mikson desperately tried to intercept him. Cang Jue, carrying Guo Xiaoxiao, ran towards the house, glancing back at the battle as he went. Seeing that Arthur had gained the upper hand, he completely blocked the door. Cang Jue immediately fled in another direction with Guo Xiaoxiao, but Guo Xiaoxiao wasn't as fast as Cang Jue, and they couldn't shake off Arthur.

“Cang Jue…”

Guo Xiaoxiao yelled at him, "Slow down, you bastard! You're going to break my hand!" She kept glancing back at Mickson and Arthur.

Arthur and Arthur looked into each other's eyes, and Arthur said...

"Give up, you can't leave."

Then Arthur unleashed his true power. A faint totem on his chest emitted bursts of light. He didn't transform into a beast, but his speed was extraordinary; in an instant, he rushed forward, leaving afterimages.

Just when Guo Xiaoxiao thought Arthur was about to capture her alive, suddenly, his bone knife slashed Cang Jue's hand, then retreated to injure Mickson. Mickson and Cang Jue's attention was entirely on Guo Xiaoxiao, and this distraction gave Arthur an opportunity to strike.

Fortunately, neither of them suffered fatal injuries.

Just as the two were still preparing to stick to their original plan—one of them holding off Arthur while the other escaped with Guo Xiaoxiao—

Mickelson, utterly powerless, knelt on the ground, his eyes wide open as he stared at Arthur. The wound Arthur had inflicted was now purple; the bone knife was poisoned.

Cang Jue was in no better shape; his body was paralyzed and he couldn't move, only able to look at Arthur. He seemed to understand as well that he had been ambushed.

Arthur sneered

"You want to fight me?"

Guo Xiaoxiao asked in a panic

What did you do to them?

Arthur's disdainful reply revealed an unprecedented ruthlessness in his eyes as he looked at Guo Xiaoxiao.

"Want to know? Then you'd better listen to me obediently. I'll tell you when I'm done playing with it."

"Arthur, don't touch her."

Miksen struggled to support himself, panting heavily as he spoke.

"Come at us, don't hurt her."

Arthur scoffed dismissively, "You overestimate yourselves. You're nothing but ants. Now you know the difference in strength between us, don't you?"

"So what do you want?"

Mickson asked

What do you think? Hehe.

Arthur's wicked smile infuriated Mickson, but he was too weak to speak and could only watch helplessly.

"don't want…"

Guo Xiaoxiao was a little frightened. Arthur's eyes were bloodshot, and his gaze was like that of a demon. Arthur grabbed Guo Xiaoxiao and said...

"Females, don't worry, none of you will die."

Arthur shook his head and turned to Mickson: "Don't you like her a lot? In that case, stay and keep her company. She'll thank you."

Arthur

Guo Xiaoxiao struggled to resist, but Arthur subdued her. Arthur reached out and stroked her face, his touch gentle yet unable to conceal a hint of madness.

"I've been so good to you, and you still think about inciting other orcs to rebel against me. What a despicable female..."

He stroked her while leaning in to kiss her, but Guo Xiaoxiao was extremely annoyed and turned her head away from him.

"Do not touch me!"

Miksen and Cang Jue saw it and found it irritating, but they were truly helpless. They tried to force themselves to get up, but the more agitated they became, the more exhausted they felt. Cang Jue persisted, saying...

"Kill me, and you'll feel better."

Arthur ignored Cang Jue, frowning in displeasure. He hated it most when she didn't obey him, especially in front of the two of them, as if she were strongly contradicting him.

Arthur grabbed Guo Xiaoxiao's chin, forcing her to look at him.

Guo Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and remained silent, her lips pressed into a thin line, indicating her refusal. This made Arthur even angrier. He pretended to be indifferent and said to Cang Jue and Mickson...

"How do you usually sleep with her? Together, or in turns?"

Mikson and Cang Jue remained silent, knowing that Arthur was doing it on purpose, humiliating them.

"White and tender"

Ignoring Guo Xiaoxiao's wishes, Arthur, right in front of Miksen and Cang Jue...

They tore at Guo Xiaoxiao's clothes; Guo Xiaoxiao struggled fiercely, but it was completely futile.

"You bastard, stop!"

Mikkson finally lost his temper and charged at Arthur. Cang Jue also stood up, ready to help. The outcome was obvious.

The two were no longer able to fight, and Arthur easily pushed them to the ground.

Arthur pounced on Guo Xiaoxiao and threw her onto the stone bed, roughly tearing her clothes to shreds. Her delicate skin was incredibly beautiful under the cold light.
