Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As Richard fled, the battle in the forest came to an end.

Giles took out a knife from his spatial wristband again and started to deal with the corpses of the two Epic-rank spirit beasts.
Seeing this scene, Alina asked curiously, “Why did you let Richard get away?”
1
“We should kill him directly. Otherwise, with his connections as an Epic-rank Beast Tamer, who knows what he will do to you?”
Upon hearing this, Giles cut off the Lava Python’s gallbladder and then looked at Alina in surprise.
He didn’t expect this girl, who looked so gentle on the outside, to be so ruthless.
2
However, it was similar to what he thought.
Giles smiled and explained, “He’s running into the depths of the forest. There’s no need to chase after him..”
1
“If we encounter other ferocious beasts, we’ll be the ones in danger instead.”
1
“We might not even have to attack again. The ferocious beasts in the forest will help us.”
1
Elena nodded and didn’t say anything else.
2
Then, she helped Giles deal with the corpses of the two beasts.
After that, Giles walked over to Bart’s body and sighed.
“I don’t know what was wrong with Richard’s brain. He killed Bart directly.”
“I don’t think Rex will let it go when he finds out.”
Alina stood beside him, feeling a little sad.
A person, who had been alive, was suddenly gone.
“Let’s bury him here. We’ll let Rex decide after we meet up with him.”
Giles thought for a moment and made his decision.
Alina nodded.
Thus, Giles had the King Kong Beast dig a hole and bury Bart’s body in it.
After doing all of this, Giles suddenly remembered that the communicator was still recording and had not been switched off.
He took it out and stopped the recording. Then, he opened the recording and looked at it. He nodded in satisfaction.

When Alina saw this, she asked curiously, “You even recorded a video?”
Giles nodded.
“Of course, this is evidence. When the time comes, Richard won’t be able to deny it.”

Alina’s beautiful eyes scanned Giles.
“You really think very far ahead.”
2
Giles shook his head.
“Good to be prepared, just in case.”
Then, the two of them continued on their way.
The Three-Headed Hellhound continued to lead the way.
A moment later…
The Three-headed Hellhound came to a stop and communicated with Giles in his mind.
There’s someone up ahead. It’s not Richard.
Upon hearing this, Giles understood.
The person up ahead was Rex.
He and Alina immediately sped up and rushed forward.
A moment later…
They saw Rex.
Rex was in a sorry state, his white hair dishevelled.
His Epic-rank beast, the Earth Barbaric Bear, was sitting by the side with some wounds on its body.
It was clear that it had been through many battles.
Rex, who was resting, was stunned when he saw Giles and Alina.
“Giles?”
“You actually made it back alive!”
Then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, a look of shame appeared on his face.
“Sorry, I thought you didn’t stand a chance.”
“So I took Bart and left straight away.”
“I feel better after seeing you alive now.”
Upon hearing this, Giles knew that the old man was feeling guilty about what had happened before.
However, Giles wouldn’t blame him.
After all, that was human nature.
1
“By the way, have you seen Bart?”
“Earlier, he and I encountered a group of ferocious beasts, and we got separated.”
Upon hearing this, Giles and Alina looked at each other. They didn’t know how to break the news to this old man.
“Mr Rex, we ran into Bart.”
Hearing this, Rex looked around but did not see Bart, so he looked at Giles again.
“You ran into Bart?”
“Where is he? Why isn’t he with you?”
At that moment, Rex was no longer an Epic-rank Beast Tamer, but a worried grandfather.
Giles didn’t know how to tell Rex the truth.
In the end, he could only show Rex the video.
Rex watched the video in confusion.
A moment later…
“Richard, you b*stard! I’m going to kill you!”
Rex’s face was red, and his eyes were burning with hatred.
Seeing this scene, Giles could only shake his head helplessly before continuing.
“I killed two of Richard’s Epic-rank spirit beasts. He must have fled to the depths of the forest by now.”
Even though Rex was furious, he was still extremely shocked.
A Silver-rank spirit beast could already unleash attacks comparable to an Epic-rank spirit beast.
3
Now, he had defeated two of Richard’s Epic-rank spirit beasts.
How unpredictable.
“Mr Rex, are you going to continue this operation?” Giles asked.
1
After all, in Rex’s current state, whether or not he could continue to carry out the operation was a problem.
Rex forcefully suppressed his grief and pondered for a moment.
“Continue.”
Giles nodded.
The three of them immediately headed towards their destination.
Along the way, they encountered many ferocious beasts, but they dealt with all of them.
When it was almost noon, they finally arrived at their destination.
It was a huge cave that was so dark that one could not see the end.
1
“This is where the Epic-rank beast is sleeping.”
After half a day, Rex looked much better, except that he seemed much older and stooped.
He looked at the hole before him and sighed deeply.
“That beast is sleeping deep inside the cave.”
“And the spirit herbs Alina needs to find could be in this cave too.”
Giles nodded.
Looking at the cave in front of her, Alina ould not help but look expectant.
Then, the three of them brought their spirit beasts into the cave.
Flames rose from Rex’s Fiery Bird, illuminating the cave.
In front of them was a deep road. At the end of it, there was a glimmer of light.
The three of them moved towards the light.
Along the way, they encountered the bones of some ferocious beasts from time to time, causing everyone’s hearts to tremble.
This was a reminder that this place was not a good one, but the lair of an Epic-rank beast that was about to break through to the Legend rank.
After ten minutes, when all of them reached the light, everything suddenly became clear.
When they saw the scene before them clearly,
Alina gasped, “Richard!”
