Chapter 504: Stealing some Treasure Beetle’s eggs (2/2)

Seeing Leo's smile, Chief Lago immediately understood that Leo doesn't plan on telling him the reason why. Meaning to say, it's up to him to uncover Leo's plans. It's actually very troublesome to do such a thing, but he is also fully aware that he can't just always rely on Leo to answer his questions and problems.

After getting Leo's approval, Chief Lago and Iasiah quickly escorted Leo to the Phoenix Taming Tower. After leaving him there, they then both returned to meet up with Charlotte, Elvis, and Nightingale.

They already know that just the two of them alone would not be enough to successfully catch a 9 Star level Magical Beasts. That's why they need to meet up with Charlotte and her team first.

....

Meanwhile, at this moment, Charlotte is currently busy sneaking around the tunnels that the Treasure Beetles have created around the Treasure Beetle Mountain.

Sticking closely behind were Nightingale and Elvis. The former had casted a Magic spell to hide his presence along with the latter. The both of them are sweating buckets of sweat right now as they're really anxious and nervous for their own lives. In fact, just now, they have actually encountered a group made up of ten 8 Star Treasure Beetles. If only Charlotte didn't casted a powerful Dark Cloak spell on the both of them, then they would have already been caught and chased away from the Treasure Beetle Mountain by a group of powerful Treasure Beetles.

It's really fortunate that Charlotte is a 9 Star Battle Mage. They understood clearly that if it wasn't for that, then sneaking in the Treasure Beetle Mountain would have been impossible for them.

”Are we there yet?” Elvis asked nervously. He can't remember how many times exactly he had asked such a similar question to them, but it should be tens of times already now. It's because they have already been walking in this place for over two hours now, yet they still haven't actually found any traces of Treasure Beetle's eggs. Back then, at that time when they were sneaking in the Storm Sparrow Tree, it only took them half an hour to finally find a nest full of Storm Sparrow's eggs.

”Elvis, I suggest that you stop asking such a question. It's annoying, and it's also just making me even more nervous here,” Nightingale can't help requesting Elvis to stop.

”Oh, is that so? Then if only you didn't kneel on the ground and beg me to come along with you before, saying that it would be bad if there's only the two of you and that you really needed my help, then I wouldn't be here repeatedly asking this question!” Elvis exclaimed in irritation. He had already said before that he has no intention of looking for any Treasure Beetle's eggs because he plans to buy them instead from the others. But because Nightingale begged him to come along with them before they started sneaking inside the Treasure Beetle Mountain, he had no other choice but to just come with them... No, technically, he actually has a choice, which is to not come with them even if Nightingale begs him. But he wasn't such a heartless guy who would just abandon his allies, that's why he decided to just come along.

”You know I don't mean it that way, right?” Nightingale quickly understood his mistake. It's just that he's really nervous right now, and Elvis' question just made it even more worst. To be more precise, Elvis' question made him thought that maybe the Treasure Beetle's eggs are actually located somewhere really deep inside the Treasure Beetle Mountain and that it would take them a very long time to get there. Such a place is normally considered as the most dangerous area of any Magical Beast lair.

Elvis shook his head and replied, ”No, the only thing I see here is, you don't exactly need my help,”

”Of course not- ”Nightingale wanted to explain something, but he was suddenly interrupted by Charlotte.

”Can you two just shut up?!” Charlotte finally had enough. She had been expending more Dark Element Mana in order to not let any Treasure Beetles nearby notice the two fools. Can't they not see that they are currently surrounded by a lot of Treasure Beetles right now? One mistake here and she'd definitely be unable to keep on hiding their own presence anymore.

”You see those guys there?” Charlotte pointed at the two 9 Star Treasure Beetles guarding at an entrance towards something that should be of importance to the Treasure Beetles. She continued, ”If you don't shut up right now, then I don't mind letting those two eat you,”

”...”

”...”

Both Elvis and Nightingale finally decided to shut up after seeing the two 9 Star Treasure Beetles. A group of 8 Star Treasure Beetles is still something that they can escape away, but in the case of a 9 Star Treasure Beetle, not to mention two of them, it would be impossible to escape alive, even if the two of them help each other or just heartlessly leave one of them.

”Good,” Charlotte said as she could finally breathe in relief.

After that scene just now, Charlotte, Elvis, and Nightingale continued sneaking inside the Treasure Beetle Mountain, searching for their nest in order to get themselves some Treasure Beetle's eggs.
