109: Orc area

The perimeter of the corridor was overgrown with branches, which were covered in various flowers and bore all kinds of fruits.

Looking down, he was even more shocked. At the base of the mountain, an ancient tree was actually growing. Through the dense foliage, Xu Jingzhe saw the main body of the ancient tree; it was as thick as half the mountain, truly terrifying. The branches surrounding the circular corridor were the very top of this ancient tree.

"Holy crap, this ancient tree must have become sentient; it's at least several thousand meters tall and hundreds of meters thick!" Xu Jingzhe exclaimed.

"The Wang family's Bacterial Experiment Base is certainly not simple," Qiu Jie remarked in admiration.

Just the sheer amount of Level 1 alloy alone was of immeasurable value.

Walking to the end of the corridor, there was another alloy door that required three methods of identification: facial recognition, pupil recognition, and blood recognition.

"I'm a master hacker, so this isn't an issue for me," Xu Jingzhe explained, turning back to look at Qiu Jie.

Qiu Jie nodded, watching Xu Jingzhe's back, lost in thought.

With his 2-meter-long Black Gold Long Saber in hand, Xu Jingzhe nodded at Qiu Jie.

"Pfft!"

The alloy door opened, and there were no guards. The two stepped inside. The long corridor was spacious and clean, with floors so polished they were reflective, and rooms lined both sides.

On the rectangular iron door, there was a trapezoidal window. Xu Jingzhe poked his head halfway through, his pupils contracting sharply.

A... monster!

Or rather, a half-human, half-beast creature. The upper body was human and naked, while the lower body was a thick python tail.

In the airtight room, she was the only 'person'. Alloy chains thicker than an arm locked her in place, rendering her unable to move.

The moment Xu Jingzhe looked at her, she suddenly opened her eerie yellow eyes and locked gazes with him.

"Boom!"

Xu Jingzhe's head felt like it was exploding. Without thinking, he raised the Black Gold Long Saber in his hand and slashed at the lock of the iron door.

Just as the Black Gold Long Saber was about to land on the edge of the door lock...

System: "Ding, you idiot. You don't even have this much mental control? Your mental strength is truly too weak."

Xu Jingzhe shuddered, his vacant eyes returning to normal. He said with lingering fear, "What the hell? I only looked into her eyes for a second."

"What's wrong with you?" Qiu Jie immediately leaned in and peered inside.

One look was all it took; her eyes immediately glazed over. She began to twist her body, posing suggestively, and started dancing against Xu Jingzhe while undressing.

It almost made Xu Jingzhe spray blood from his nose!

"Qiu Jie, wake up!" Xu Jingzhe pushed Qiu Jie away and shook her shoulders.

"Annoying~ I want it~ I want it~" Qiu Jie's voice was filled with seduction. She had already taken off her top, wearing only a sports bra.

Xu Jingzhe couldn't even look; it was just too, too, too big.

The sports bra only covered a third of it.

"What should I do in this situation?" Xu Jingzhe asked.

System: "Ding, there are only two ways."

"What?"

System: "Ding, one is to satisfy her, and two is to satisfy her."

"And if I can't satisfy her?"

System: "Ding, death by burning desire."

Xu Jingzhe: "..."

"Here?"

System: "Ding, should I book a room for you instead?"

"Get lost, I can't betray Yezi!" Xu Jingzhe cursed, "You damn system, you must know a solution!"

System: "Ding, try communicating with that half-human, half-demon."

Qiu Jie's eyes became increasingly glazed, radiating seduction, lewdness, and allure from the inside out, while her hands frantically groped all over Xu Jingzhe's body.

Xu Jingzhe backhanded Qiu Jie against the iron door, pressed his knee against her lower back, and stared intently at the monster inside the iron door.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~" The monster flicked her snake tongue and slithered over, the Black Gold chains scraping against the floor and making a clattering sound.

She stopped two meters away from the iron door, unable to move further, and let out a mocking smile.

System: "Ding, she says if you let her out, she will eliminate the woman's desire."

"Open the iron door," Xu Jingzhe said.

System: "Ding, the iron door is not connected to the network and requires a key. You should just slash through the shackles."

Qiu Jie pressed against the door, writhing her body like a snake, moaning. Even with Xu Jingzhe's strength, he was struggling to hold her down.

With no time to think, Xu Jingzhe pushed Qiu Jie aside and brought his long saber down.

"Clang!"

Sparks flew, and the iron door opened.

Dragging Qiu Jie, he slipped into the room and closed the iron door, pointing his long saber at the monster.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~"

System: "Ding, she says her name is Medusa, and if you help her pull out the three silver nails behind her, she can get out."

"No, save Qiu Jie first," Xu Jingzhe said.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~"

System: "Ding, she says help her pull the nails out first."

Qiu Jie wrapped herself around him again, and having already taken off her sports bra, she began to take off her pants.

"Damn it!"

"What kind of monsters is the Wang family researching!" Xu Jingzhe cursed and helped Medusa pull out the three silver nails from her back.

At the same time, Medusa's body began to change. Her entire form became a snake body, reaching five or six meters in length. She struggled in pain as her scales fell off one by one, dripping with blood.

Finally, the last scale fell off, and she transformed into a small snake only as thick as a thumb. Moving rapidly, it coiled around Qiu Jie's arm and bit down, and Qiu Jie returned to normal.

Qiu Jie opened her eyes wide and, seeing herself completely naked, slapped Xu Jingzhe across the face. "When I wanted to play, you didn't play, but you took advantage of me being unconscious to strip me naked! Stripping me is one thing, but not even doing anything—what kind of man are you!"

"You absolute pervert!"

Xu Jingzhe: "..."

The small snake slithered from Qiu Jie's arm and coiled around her neck, flicking its tongue, the corners of its mouth slightly raised in a mocking smile.

"Wow~ what a cute little snake."

For some reason, whether on a whim or on purpose, Qiu Jie didn't put her clothes back on and started playing with the little snake while completely naked.

"Ahem, ahem..." Xu Jingzhe touched his left cheek and said, "Qiu Jie, we should put on our clothes and leave. We are still in the Wang family's Bacterial Experiment Base."

Qiu Jie rolled her eyes at Xu Jingzhe, walked over with a cat-like gait, and asked with concern, "Did I hurt you?"

"No, no. Qiu Jie, put your clothes on first; we still have important business to attend to."

Once Qiu Jie put her clothes on, the two opened the iron door and stepped out.

The room opposite Medusa also held a beastman, with a lion's head for an upper body and a human lower body, similarly locked by Black Gold chains that pierced through his shoulder blades.

The third room was the same: a half-human, half-horse creature.

The fourth room, a half-human, half-bull creature.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~"

System: "Ding, Medusa says this area is called the Beastman Area, and all those locked inside are beastmen."

"Some are mutated Contaminators who grew animal features and were captured directly for research."

"Others are humans and beasts combined together through technology."

Suddenly, Xu Jingzhe stopped. From the front of the dimly lit corridor, footsteps were heard!

Patter, patter, coming from afar and getting closer.
