Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Blood-Stained Village
Near the bloody pool, in a camp, the atmosphere was dark and oppressive.
In the center of the hall, a shattered skeleton had been pieced together, barely resembling what was once a 'person.'
Staring at the gruesome corpse, a middle-aged man was overwhelmed with grief:
"Tell me, who killed Felix?"
"Boss, it was Charlie... no, it was Charles. He escaped from the tomb and somehow gained some strange power. He... he killed the second boss..."
Recalling the terrifying scene in the valley, the few bandits who had managed to escape trembled all over.
"A newly promoted second-level Beast Master killed the second boss?"
Felix was his son; he knew his strength well. His two mystical beasts, the twin tigers, were both at level 16. They could escape from even a third-level Beast Master, so how could they fall to a newly promoted kid?

...
At that moment, Charles was soaking in a bathtub. After drinking a bottle of [Regenerating Potion], a gentle glow surrounded him, washing away the fatigue from today's fierce battle.
He glanced at Max sleeping soundly in the mystical beast space and decided not to disturb him.
The dangers of the ferocious beast mountains were far beyond Charles's expectations. This was just the outer layer, and he had already encountered such formidable enemies.
Moreover, he was certain that after killing Felix, the bandits would not let him off easily.
He checked the points ranking on his phone, and the sip of juice he had just taken almost sprayed out of his mouth. He couldn't help but curse, "Grace is terrifying! In just over a week, she's already scored over 1000 points?"
This meant that the cumulative level of the ferocious beasts killed by Grace exceeded 1000. Just the thought of it sent shivers down Charles's spine.
"I heard that the top scorer in the training points gets a chance to enter the treasure vault of the three Imperial Capital academies, and everything in there is a treasure."
Besides these tangible benefits, the three Imperial Capital academies were the top theoretical re
Following Uldir's gaze into the well, Charles saw it was filled with bodies, the water stained red with blood...
