Immediately after killing cocky. I managed to relax. I went to the water stream and drink some water and wash off the blood of the apes on my body.
After drinking some water, I decided to grab the Battle axe and the sword. I then started to move towards the direction of the flow of the stream hoping to find an exit from the dungeon.
After a few minutes of walking along the flow of the stream, I found a cave with some light in the far distance. I felt relieved that I was nearing the exit and entered the cave.
As I entered the cave, the light suddenly disappeared. And now my night vision is not working well. At first I could clearly see even though it was dark in the cave, but now it is very hard to see. Forcing me to rely on other senses.
"hssss"
I suddenly heard something. I raised my guard not knowing what is approaching.
"Thud!!"
I barely dodged an attack coming straight to my head.
I couldn't understand what was going on.
"Hahaha!!! Thisss ape isss about to die at my handssss" suddenly i hear something in my head.
"He going to die and not realisssssse what killed him. hahahaha!!! Thisss ape isss pretty big. I am not going ssstrarve for atleassst 3dayssss" somehow I could make out that it a beast that is trying to eat me.
"hssss hsssss"
"Thud!!!"
Another attack directed towards my head. I managed to dodge it but it stilled grazed part of my ear. I am now running randomly hoping to survive.
"For an ape it issss very agile. How isss it dodging my attackssss ssso esssaliy? Well itsss not like itsss going anywhere hahaha!!!"
Based on it way of speaking. I can make out that its sort of a snake beast based on the 'ssss' every time it speaks.

THE SPIRITUAL KINGDOM
There is a kingdom located at the north east of the Blaceno dungeon, there is a kingdom called the Spiritual Kingdom.
"Head priest, have you heard? The party of Lax in Spacia kingdom was killed in the Blaceno dungeon. Apparently they were on a mission to collect Zippato apes claws. They rescue party that went to look for them, found their corpses in a really bad shape."
"Oh, that's sad but interesting."
"How is it interesting, Head priest? Among the few most well to do party was killed, Now the adventurer guild in Spacia kingdom is going to have a hard time finding another party like theirs."
"Well, despite being a well to do party with a good reputation in the kingdom, they did make a good number of enemies. Some being from nobility, other adventurers and some guild members"
"I understand, having some strife with other adventurers, but why are some nobilities and guild members hating on them?"
"Most of the work the that party did was a lot like charity work."
"Meaning?----"
"HEAD PRIEST! WE HAVE A BIG ISSUE! COULD YOU PLEASE COME TO THE MEETING ROOM."
While the head priest and Jean, a religious person who regularly comes to the church to pray, were discussing, a soldier working in the church, barges into the room calling the head priest.
"Alright Jean, I have some important matters to attend urgently. We shall continue our talk later. May the Gods Bless your life"
"Alright head priest. May the Gods bless you."
Jean leaves the room, then the soldier, Alex tells the Head Priest,
"Ma'am--"
"I may look like a woman, but I am a biological man."
"I am really sorry, but apparently the priests told me to immediately inform you that 'Your pet has just been killed a few minutes ago'"
"Okay thats pretty bad"
"Ma- I am sorry. Sir you keep a pet?"
"Well yes. Anyways I am sorry but I have to head home. This is very important. Bye-bye. May the Gods bless you"
"Alright sorry for your loss and have a nice day. May the Gods bless you"
With that the Head priest left the church and the soldier watched as he wondered
"Man, its seems he likes his pet"
