Mark quickly followed behind.
Glancing down the slope, he saw that the Demon Eye Bear had already disappeared from his vision.
“How cunning!”
After a short battle, the villagers heard a commotion and peeked outside. They realized that the domineering Demon Eye Bear had been forced back!
They lit up the lights in the village.
Not long after, an old man arrived beside the carriage.
He was filled with gratitude towards Mark, “You must be an adventurer from the capital!”
“Thank you so much!”
Mark immediately raised his hand to stop him and explained, “The battle has just begun!”
“This Demon Eye Bear is very cunning, it’s hard to deal with!”
“Is there any oil in the village that can be easily burned?”
Hearing Mark’s request, the old village head immediately turned and informed the people in the village.
Soon, a young man sent them to a distant house. He took out two small glass jars of lamp oil and handed them to Mark.
“Is this enough?”
Taking the lamp oil, Mark shook his hand and nodded, “It’s enough!”
“In order to avoid accidents, go back and hide. From now on, I’ll chase after this Demon Eye Bear!”
“At that time, no matter what happens or what you hear, don’t leave your room. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee your safety!”
With that, Mark chased after the blood on the ground.
On the way, Mark used support magic as he ran. His vision improved, his sense of smell sharpened, his weight decreased, and his weapon strengthened…
After activating a Cat’s Eye magic was opened, the dark forest became clear.
With his enhanced sense of smell, Mark constantly felt the smell of blood in the air.
He quickly passed through the grass and followed the source of the blood smell.
After about ten minutes, he found a cave entrance hidden under the mound.
As he neared the entrance, Mark confirmed that there was a large amount of blood here, but he was in no hurry to enter.
Instead, he searched for some wood, both dry and wet.
Then, he piled the dry ones together and raised his hand to ignite it with a fire spell.
When the flames grew larger, Mark picked up the other piece of wet wood and threw it into the fire.
Before long, a thick smoke rose.
After seeing the smoke, Mark cast a small wind magic and blew all the smoke into the cave.
Finally, Mark took out a small bottle of lamp oil and lit the bottle before throwing it into the cave.
Originally, Mark wanted to use water magic to drown this cave, but the various signs outside the cave indicated that it had existed for a long time.
Moreover, this cave was located halfway up the mountain, so Mark was very sure that there was a drainage crack in this cave.
That was why the Demon Eye Bear had chosen this place as its cave.
Five minutes passed quickly. Soon, there was movement in the cave. A huge black figure ran out with a limp.
It was covered in lamp oil. As soon as it came out, it pushed aside the flames at the entrance and stared at Mark with very angry eyes.
Feeling the beast’s consciousness, Mark stared at it with a sharp gaze and clearly conveyed his thoughts to it.
“Only one of us can survive today!”
After receiving Mark’s message, the Demon Eye Bear immediately stood up and roared at him with its huge bloody mouth.
When it was over, it rushed at Mark.
Seeing this scene, Mark directly pulled out the longsword that had been enhanced with magic at his waist.
His figure disappeared from the Demon Eye Bear’s vision. A dark light flashed, and the Demon Eye Bear’s huge head fell to the ground.
After the battle ended, Mark could not help but mutter to himself, “Although I really want to let you go, the smell of human blood on you is too strong!”
“In this world, the only good magical beasts are those that do not appear in front of humans!”
After everything was over, Mark gathered the scattered flames to avoid a forest fire.
After completing these things, Mark walked to the side of the Demon Eye Bear’s corpse and took out all the useful things in its body.
Then, he filled the lamp oil on his corpse and spread the firewood over it.
He took the fire and lit up the Demon Eye Bear’s corpse.
Mark had originally planned to bring the bear’s corpse back for the villagers to eat, but this Demon Eye Bear had eaten too many people and could not be consumed.
If they did not dispose of its corpse at this time, the creatures in the surrounding mountains would eat the blood-soaked Demon Eye Bear.
After that, these ferocious beasts would attack again, this small village in the mountains!
Since the fire was still burning, Mark took out the dry food he had prepared.
As he waited for the flames to extinguish, he ate the dry and tasteless rations.
He did not expect it to be so smooth this time. He had just arrived when he encountered the Demon Eye Bear.
Other than walking for a while, it was almost an instant kill.
This was something that could not be helped. When he reached the academy, Mark had broken through again. His current level was somewhere between grandmaster and master.
If it were half a month ago, the battle would not have ended so easily.
Three hours passed. After confirming that there was no problem around, Mark put the bear head in a sack.
With this huge bear head, he walked towards the village.
When he reached the village, the sky was already bright. The people had already woken up.
There were already several villagers washing clothes by the well.
The carriage driver, who had come with Mark last night, hid in the village head’s house for the entire night.
He did not sleep the entire night, because the huge figure of the Demon Eye Bear kept appearing in his mind.
Therefore, early in the morning, he got into his carriage and planned to leave the village soon.
In his boredom, he glanced down the slope and saw Mark walking up a hill with a huge bag.
Seeing this scene, he shouted into the village, “Look, the adventurer from last night succeeded! He has killed that abnormally huge bear!”
Hearing the shout, the village immediately cheered and surrounded them.
As soon as he climbed up from the bottom of a hill, Mark saw a group of people waiting.
Before he could speak, a bold villager took the bag from Mark.
