Although Leo knew a lot of information about Magical Beasts, including the Species-Bottleneck, Steve, on the other hand, doesn't know that much. Hence, he benefited a lot after listening to Eilajah's words.

"Oh, now I know," Steve said to himself while nodding his head repeatedly as if to express his understanding.

After a few minutes or so of waiting, Leo, Eilajah, and Steve could finally see clearly the effect on the baby Yellow Skinned Anacondas after shedding their skin.

Right now, the body length of the baby Yellow Skinned Anacondas has increased by ten inches, specifically from their newly hatch body length of 8 inches to 18 inches. Their body size has also become a bit bigger as well. But still, with that size, the baby Yellow Skinned Anacondas are still considered infants, hence they still can't be helpful in the Mischievous Lion Guild in any way aside from relieving their stress due to how adorable and cute they looked.

Looking at the ground, Leo easily found 80 pieces of 8 inches long Yellow Skinned Anaconda's skins. Though its length wasn't really that long, but if he combined them all together, it would certainly be enough to make one or two sets of clothes made out of their skin.

"I suggest that you sell their skins to someone else instead of using it for yourself, or even someone part of your Mischievous Lion Guild," Eilajah suggested as he could easily guess what Leo was thinking right now while looking at the skin of the baby Yellow Skinned Anacondas.

"I know," Leo nodded his head as he knew what Eilajah meant by his words.

The exact reason why Eilajah had suggested that he or anyone part of the Mischievous Lion Guild should not use the skins of the baby Yellow Skinned Anacondas is simply because it would definitely make the little ones feel displeased, which would affect negatively their favority level. After all, although these skins were old skins and weren't of no use to them anymore, it was still once a part of their body, hence it holds some sentimental value for them. But of course, it's still alright if they wear clothes made out of Yellow Skinned Anaconda, as long as it's not one of their skins.

"After feeding them, it's time to let them rest," Eilajah said before sending out a command to make the baby Yellow Skinned Anacondas go to sleep.

This time, all 80 baby Yellow Skinned Anacondas responded to the command without any resistance. They slowly moved their bodies back to their cracked eggs and lay down in a comfortable position before finally going to sleep.

The sleeping baby Yellow Skinned Anacondas were even more adorable and cute to look at. Steve was even having trouble holding himself back from wanting to pinch them.

"How long do we need to wait for all of them to grow and be able to finally help us?" Leo asked.

"We will have to feed them in the evening and repeat the same steps the next day for an entire week. I think that they should be able to grow for a meter or so next week, allowing us to finally take them out for hunting and also train them to make them more stronger. In the third week, they should already be ten or so of meters long and be big enough for us to make them into mounts. At that time, be sure to buy a saddle for the riders and a Magical Beast Armor for the Yellow Skinned Anacondas in order to increase their defense," Eilajah replied.

Leo can't help becoming excited after hearing the word 'Mount'. This was what he had long been waiting for ever since he found the Yellow Skinned Anaconda's nest. Though he had already experienced many times riding a Magical Beast back, then when he was still young, especially during the times when he was hunting Magical Beasts, but he had never tried actually owning one.

"Let's proceed to the Mutated Yellow Skinned Anaconda's eggs," Eilajah said as he turned his head to look at Steve and ask the latter to hand him the two Storage Rings that he had told him to hold awhile ago.

"Here you go," Steve handed the two Storage Rings.

After receiving the two Storage Rings from Steve, Eilajah then waved his hand to take out the 15 Mutated Yellow Skinned Anaconda's eggs.

The form of the Mutated Yellow Skinned Anaconda's eggs was only a bit different to those of the normal Yellow Skinned Anaconda's eggs. The egg was still yellow in color, but observing closely, one could spot a few thunder-like marks around the body of their shell.

During the time when Leo was stealing these Yellow Skinned Anaconda's eggs from the Yellow Skinned Anaconda's nest, he was never able to notice clearly these thunder-like marks. Though even if he had indeed noticed them, he would still not waste time confirming that it's indeed different from the others. After all, he wanted to get as many Yellow Skinned Anaconda's eggs as possible during that time before the Golden Thunderstorm Python could get inside the Yellow Skinned Anaconda's nest.

After putting the 15 Mutated Yellow Skinned Anaconda's eggs carefully on the ground, Eilajah repeated the same action he had done with the Yellow Skinned Anaconda's eggs. From his hand, white light with green stripes slowly flows out before covering the entire body of the Mutated Yellow Skinned Anaconda's eggs. Then, after a few minutes, cracking noises could be heard.

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

Just like the last time, a yellow-colored head slowly drilled out from the Mutated Yellow Skinned Anaconda's eggs. Then they tried their best to exit out from it.

Although it was difficult to see clearly the difference between the Yellow Skinned Anaconda's eggs and Mutated Yellow Skinned Anaconda's eggs, it wasn't that difficult anymore after seeing a living example of the Mutated Yellow Skinned Anaconda.

In the case of the baby Yellow Skinned Anacondas, one could only see them having a yellow skin color and nothing more. But, in the case of the baby Mutated Yellow Skinned Anacondas, one could easily see that although their skin is still yellow in color, there is an obvious bright yellow, or perhaps gold-colored, markings that are in a thunder-like shape. It was obviously the signature of this Mutated Yellow Skinned Anaconda.

"I see... These species of Mutated Magical Beast Anacondas have actually already been recorded in the past, belonging to the category of mutation," Eilajah said while trying to remember what it was called, "If I remember correctly, then its name should be Flaming Thunder Anaconda."

"Why do I feel like its name is, even more, cooler than the Golden Thunderstorm Python?" Steve commented after hearing the name of the Magical Beast.

"Indeed," Leo nodded his head.

"I can't help but also agree," Eilajah nodded his head as well.

What Steve had said wasn't really without any meaning. The name Flaming Thunder Anaconda indeed sounds a lot cooler, or perhaps domineering, compared to the Golden Thunderstorm Python, at least in both of Leo and Eilajah's opinion. Both of them could already imagine a fire attack with arcs of thunder around, thus doubling the damage it could cause. Just pure imagination, though...

After expressing what they all feel, Eilajah then sent an order to the Flaming Thunder Anacondas to form a line.

Unlike the last time, the resistance from the Flaming Thunder Anacondas was much stronger. Pretty much all of them ignored the order that Eilajah had sent as they keep on touring their surroundings, as if trying to satisfy their curiosity.

"Hmph," Eilajah coldly harrumphed as he released an even stronger Summoner's Blessing towards the Flaming Thunder Anacondas, making them instantly stop on what they were doing as they then quickly lined up in a straight line.

Seeing this, Eilajah smiled in triumph before throwing 15 pieces of meat from an unknown Magical Beast, one for each of the Flaming Thunder Anacondas. Their need was for food was unlike the Yellow Skinned Anacondas as they were clearly of powerful species, thus the reason to have more food.

After doing that, Eilajah then turned to look at Leo and Steve as he said, "If a Magical Beast don't listen, Magical Beast Tamers could also use a much stronger Summoner's Blessing to force them."

"I could indeed see that..." Leo faintly smiled. He has finally seen another method to tame Magical Beasts aside from what Eilajah had performed in front of them, specifically using a powerful Summoner's Blessing.

"Anyways, after feeding these Flaming Thunder Anacondas, we would then let them go to sleep as well, just like the baby Yellow Skinned Anacondas. But, unlike the latter, the former would only need five days to grow and become helpful, and after another five days, they could finally become mounts. But, it would definitely be difficult to make them into mounts..." Eilajah shook his head helplessly. These Flaming Thunder Anacondas were basically the example of prideful and high standards Magical Beasts.

Leo was also able to see that clearly, hence he reminded himself to certainly train some capable people to use the Flaming Thunder Anacondas as mounts in the future.

"Can I have one of them?" Steve quickly asked Leo.

"You? Just forget it," Leo shook his head in response. Although Steve is indeed considered as someone strong despite not being a Mage nor a Magical Knight, it would still not be enough to handle a Flaming Thunder Anaconda. He might just even become one of its menus once it felt hungry.
