Wu Shaozhen and Young Master Huang headed deeper into the Bamboo Grove. They encountered plenty of Iron-Eating Beasts along the way, but only in groups of a few to a dozen. They never ran into another massive gathering of hundreds, so clearing them out was fairly easy.
Since killing Iron-Eating Beasts granted random attributes, Wu Shaozhen took Young Master Huang along and cleared out practically every beast in the Bamboo Grove. They spent over an hour killing them and only left after making sure they had missed none.
They killed over two hundred more, which, combined with the two hundred-plus from earlier, brought their total to exactly 500 Iron-Eating Beasts. Young Master Huang leveled up again, reaching level 37, while Wu Shaozhen reached level 47 with 2.07 million/14 million EXP. His Immortal Body increased by 500 points.

"Ah!" Young Master Huang jumped in fright and
