Tang Sen was placed in a luxurious large cage by the monsters. This was the best-located cage in the entire "Character Garden," with the highest foot traffic. Almost all visitors would pass by this cage. Inside, there were already five handsome men and nine beautiful women, all the best-looking "characters" in the "Character Garden."

When Tang Sen was delivered to the cage, it was around four in the afternoon. The number of monster visitors in the garden had already decreased, and the humans in the cage had relaxed, each finding a spot to sit and rest.

Tiger Girl pushed Tang Sen into the cage with a smile and said, "Today, you'll just get used to the environment. Starting tomorrow, you'll have to perform hard. If you don't perform well, you won't get any food."

Tang Sen didn't dare to speak recklessly, to avoid arousing suspicion. He put on a dejected look and slowly walked towards the group of handsome men and beautiful women in the cage.

"Another new one," a beautiful woman turned to look and said with a bitter smile, "He's a super handsome guy."

Hearing this, the others also turned to look. Their eyes were all hollow, as if they had long lost hope for the future and were just living day by day. Tang Sen walked up to them, extended his hand, and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Tang Sen. I was just captured today."

No one extended their hand to shake his. Each face was devoid of any vitality. A handsome man curled his lip and said, "What's going on? You still have the mood to introduce yourself and shake hands? Social etiquette? Forget it, we're all just waiting to die."

Tang Sen smiled and said, "I don't think any of you look like you're waiting to die. During the day, you all seem to be working hard to earn food, which is a sign of trying to survive, isn't it?"

A beautiful woman smiled bitterly and said, "That's just the survival instinct. Once the visitors leave and it's time to rest, we can't help but think about our future, which seems bleak. I often can't help but think, why not just die? What's the point of living like this, being treated as a display animal, with no dignity at all?"

"Hey, don't talk about dying so casually," a wolf monster outside the cage sneered. "Live well and help the king make money. If you die randomly, it will be a big problem for us." He licked his blood-red tongue and said with a sinister smile, "Actually, it might be good if you die. I'm a wolf monster, and I love eating corpses..."

Wolves are scavengers and do indeed love eating corpses.

The beautiful woman was terrified, her face losing its color. The thought of her corpse being desecrated by monsters made her even afraid to die.

Tang Sen subtly moved a step to the side, blocking the beautiful woman from the wolf monster's sinister smile. She felt a bit better and was very grateful for Tang Sen's gentle and considerate gesture. She was also a bit surprised. People who were captured and brought here usually would be so scared that they couldn't act normally. This man named Tang Sen was actually still in the mood to take care of a girl? He seemed very calm, mature, and reliable.

The beautiful woman instinctively wanted to rely on him and whispered, "My name is Li Si, from Gao Lao Village in Wusang Country. A month ago, I went on a hiking trip with friends and was captured by monsters..."

Tang Sen asked, "What about your friends?"

Li Si's face fell. "They were all ugly, so the monsters didn't bother to capture them and let them go. It's been a month, and they haven't even brought the police to save me. Sob... I don't know if they've given up on me."

Tang Sen leaned in and whispered in her ear, "Don't cry, I'll save you."

"Really? You have a way?" Li Si looked up in surprise.

Tang Sen quickly made a "shh" gesture, "The wolf monster is watching us outside. Don't say anything now."

Li Si glanced at the terrifying wolf monster and didn't dare to say more. She retreated to the corner of the cage, sat on the ground, and fell into deep thought. Tang Sen didn't rush to do anything. Being new, it was better to understand the situation first. He sat in the corner of the cage, quietly observing the surroundings. This large cage was built like a zoo cage for humans, with an outdoor viewing area and a room on the other side for the handsome men and beautiful women to sleep, even with a toilet.

As the sky grew dark, the small monsters guarding the cage went back to rest. The handsome men and beautiful women began to return to the indoor area, lying down on the cold floor to sleep. Without bedding and with the mountain air being chilly, the handsome men and beautiful women huddled together in two groups to keep warm.

Tang Sen didn't join the group of handsome men. He sat at the entrance of the bedroom, carefully checking the surroundings to ensure no small monsters were watching. Then he suddenly stood up, walked to the group of handsome men and beautiful women lying on the ground, and said in a low voice, "Don't rush to sleep. I have some questions to ask everyone... This is related to whether we can escape. I hope everyone can help."

"There's nothing to say. We're all doomed anyway," a handsome man said with lifeless eyes. "Just live one day at a time."

The other handsome men felt the same way, disheartened and without the mood to talk.

Tang Sen had to turn to the nine beautiful women. It seemed the principle of opposite attraction was at work. The beautiful women were much more friendly to Tang Sen. Although they also felt that the chances of escaping alive were slim, they were willing to talk to him more.

Tang Sen started chatting with the nine girls, and before long, he learned a lot.

It turned out that this "Character Garden" had only been open for a few months. These handsome men and beautiful women had all been captured recently, totaling 153 people, distributed among 24 cages throughout the garden.

The leader of the monsters, the small-eyed girl, was a yellow-furred weasel spirit. The second-in-command was Tiger Girl, also known as Tiger Vanguard. Besides these two powerful monsters, there were also deer, horses, cows, monkeys, snakes, wolves, rabbits, and other animal spirits, totaling about two to three hundred.

"Actually... my family tried to get the police to save me," a beautiful woman cried. "Unfortunately, the special police force couldn't even defeat a group of small monsters. Tiger Vanguard and Rat King didn't even need to act, and the police were defeated."

"My family also tried to save me a few days ago," another beautiful woman said with a sob. "They brought a very powerful monk. The monk did have some power and defeated many small monsters, but... as soon as he rushed into the mountain gate, he was defeated by Tiger Vanguard."

Tang Sen silently calculated. Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie should be more powerful than any monk. After all, one is the Monkey King who wreaked havoc in Heaven, and the other is the Heavenly Marshal who commanded 80,000 heavenly water soldiers. Plus, there's me, Bai Long Ma, and Hug Hug Bear. The combat power shouldn't be a problem. The biggest issue is still how to gather all the hostages together and protect them.

"Can everyone follow my plan for the next few days?" Tang Sen said seriously to the nine beautiful women. "As long as everyone listens to me, I have a 90% chance of saving you all."

The beautiful women were overjoyed, especially Li Si, who directly threw herself at Tang Sen, hugging his waist and crying, "As long as you can save me, I'll do whatever you say."

The other eight beautiful women also thought seriously and said, "Brother Tang Sen, as long as we can gain our freedom and escape this terrifying place, we will do whatever you ask."

When women say "do whatever you say" or "do whatever you want," it's a very suggestive statement. Tang Sen couldn't help but feel a bit awkward. "Hey, girls, I'm not trying to take advantage of you. I just want you to cooperate with my rescue plan. What are you thinking?"

Not only did the women misunderstand, but the five handsome men also thought the same. One of the men couldn't help but raise his head and laugh bitterly, "Hey, new guy, you're really something. Captured by monsters and put in a cage, and you still have the mood to seduce girls? To be honest, I was a playboy outside the mountain, seducing countless women, but after being captured, I can't even get it up... You still have the mood to take advantage of them in this situation. You're a remarkable man, I really admire you."
