Chapter 488: Hunting Time part 6 (1/2)

Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce

In such an easy way, Leo and Cassandra were able to successfully catch a total of 30 Nature Minions, specifically one is a 3 Star Nature Minion, three are 2 Star Nature Minions, five are 1 Star Nature Minions, while the rest is No Star Nature Minions.

Cassandra turned to look at Leo and asked, ”Let's bring our catch back to base?”

”I guess this is enough for today,” Leo replied.

Because there were a lot of Nature Minions here for them to bring, they called out some nearby members first to help them carry all of them.

In total, Leo and Cassandra were able to catch 33 Magical Beasts, including 30 Nature Minions, 2 Whipping Vine Bunnies, and a Breeze Lizard.

A lot of the members were really shocked after hearing that they have caught a total of 33 Magical Beasts, but as soon as they found out that 30 of those were actually just Nature Minions, they quickly understood the reason why and didn't become shocked anymore.

Honestly, the majority of the catch of the other members was also Nature Minions. The only difference between them and Leo and Cassandra is the fact that they didn't spend a lot of time capturing the Nature Minions by allowing them to sabotage their own kind.

Apparently, they just found out today that the Nature Minions are actually almost everywhere in the surrounding area nearby their base. It's a bit surprising because Elvis didn't report to them such a finding.

Well, considering that the Nature Minions aren't really notable Magical Beasts, they could understand the reason why Elvis didn't bother about them. Even a No Star Mage could catch a 1 Star Nature Minion, thus they aren't really that dangerous. In fact, the attack of a No Star Nature Minion doesn't even hurt that much, it's just like they are being hit by a pebble thrown by a kid.

Nevertheless, they still shouldn't underestimate the Nature Minions because once they are surrounded by a lot of them, they could still prove to be a dangerous Magical Beast.

Before night came, everyone was able to clear out the surrounding 50 meters distance from the base and had installed plenty of traps around.

The area that they have cleared is not really a huge area, but that's just because of their unfamiliarity with the surroundings and that they weren't able to cover a lot of areas yet due to some people staying back in the base.

Charlotte and Elvis' Savage Fox Slayer team has also returned, bringing with them 17 Savage Foxes.

Shockingly, the Savage Foxes they have caught were actually only a quarter of all the Savage Foxes they have found in the north, meaning to say there are 60 to 70 Savage Foxes over there.

Such information really made a lot of them to feel a bit afraid, especially the members of the Alpha Lion team. If Leo didn't issue a retreat order, then they'd be the one to certainly face all of those 60 to 70 Savage Foxes.

A few of the members that have returned from capturing the Savage Foxes were wounded, though the majority of them only received a small injury that can be healed in just a matter of a single day, with only a single member that got seriously injured after unexpectedly being surrounded by a group of Savage Foxes during his scouting. In the end, that person was rescued by Elvis as he was one of his men.

”So far, everything is proceeding smoothly,” Charlotte reported to Leo.

”How was the investigation? Did you find anything strange?” Leo asked.

”Yes, we have indeed found one, or to be more exact, we found two,” Elvis nodded his head. He then continued, ”Just like what we have expected, the Savage Foxes are now preparing to do something,”

”The moment we arrived over there, we immediately saw that all of the Savage Foxes are currently returning back to the east. They should already know that we have found out about their plans, that's why they are returning home,”

”Most likely,” Leo nodded his head in agreement.

”And aside from that, we also found a few Savage Foxes returning from the direction of the remaining Green Fur Ape tribes,” Elvis reported his team's discovery.

”Then it seems like the worst-case scenario that we have expected is going to happen,” Leo put his hand on his forehead while shaking his head. He really doesn't like the Magical Beast tribes cooperating with each other as this simply means a lot of trouble for them.

”Begin strengthening our defense in the base and put all the Magical Beasts we have caught inside the three Green Eagle Flyingboats to prepare for an emergency retreat. If worst really comes, then we have no other choice left but to leave this place ahead of time in order to avoid casualties,” Leo informed everyone of his decision. He added, ”In the meantime, continue capturing as many Savage Foxes as possible. If possible, go and steal some Savage Fox's eggs so that we can tame some of them once we returned. In such a way, we can study more of their characteristics and behavior, which should allow us to avoid similar dangers in the future,”
