At this moment, it is a very clear sight for Leo to see that despite falling into the vine trap, the Treasure Beetles were actually still able to fight back and escape using their Element Power.

There's practically a lot of evidence of the battle between the Elementals and Treasure Beetles scattered around the ground, such as vines, stone spikes, and broken trees.

And just by basing on the fact alone that Chief Lago and Iasiah had decided to help, it's very easy to understand that it's because the Elementals were going to lose the battle.

Realizing this, Leo felt a bit disappointed in himself. Even though that trap that he had meticulously prepared was very good, it's still considered as a failure basing on the end result shown to everyone. He actually didn't forget to consider the Element Power of the Treasure Beetles, it's just that he thought that his Elementals would be able to handle them easily, just like almost every time.

It isn't really that bad though, since now he has learned a considerable amount of knowledge about fighting against Magical Beasts that knows how to use Element Power after this battle. He understood that his mistake right now is mainly because he wasn't really that much experienced yet when it comes to such kind of Magical Beast. The next time, he'd be sure not to make the same mistake again.

Whoooosh!

A powerful gush of wind suddenly shoots out from the hands of Iasiah straight towards the direction of the Treasure Beetle who was creeping behind Leo after escaping from the Magic Net.

Tud!

The Treasure Beetle immediately lost consciousness

Or maybe after this time...

"That was really close," Iasiah said in concern. Fortunately, he was quick enough to notice the Treasure Beetle who Mister Loki had thought he had defeated before, trying to launch an attack on him from behind.

"Thank you," Leo expressed his gratefulness to Iasiah for saving him.

"Not a problem," Iasiah said with a smile.

"Anyways, let's continue bringing more Treasure Beetles here," Leo quickly decided to continue with what they were planning to do.

Out of Leo's expectations though, Chief Lago shook his head before explaining, "There's no need. We have already killed plenty of Treasure Beetles before coming here,"

"No worries though, we made sure to not leave a trace and only use Wind Element attack," Iasiah added.

"But where are the Treasure Beetle's carcasses?" Leo asked dubiously.

"Inside our Storage Rings," Chief Lago replied.

Leo quickly understood what Chief Lago was aiming to do. They just simply choose to kill the Treasure Beetles using Wind Element Magic spells then store them inside their Storage Rings and they would then transfer the Treasure Beetle's carcasses nearby the Storm Sparrow Tree later on. Such a simple plan is indeed very possible as well, aside from their main plan of trapping the Treasure Beetles. Though only if they can execute it without leaving any traces behind.

That was the main reason why they didn't proceed with this plan before. But since they were able to execute it cleanly, then there's no problem.

"Okay... But are you really sure that it's enough?" Leo asked another question, still dubious about what the two were saying.

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that the Treasure Beetles that we have killed are actually 5 Star to 7 Star Treasure Beetles. So there is no need to worry whether they will be enraged or not because they would definitely-" Chief Lago wasn't able to finish what he was saying as he was interrupted by something.

ROAAAAAARRRRRR!

A really loud roaring sound that came from the Treasure Beetle Mountain was suddenly heard.

"And speak of the devil," Chief Lago said. That sound had definitely come from the Leader of the Treasure Beetle tribe, specifically the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle.

"So the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle is already enraged? But what about these Treasure Beetles, are we just going to leave them here?" Leo pointed at the unconscious Treasure Beetles around them.

Right now, he finally understood that the only reason why Chief Lago and Iasiah bothered bringing to him a batch of Treasure Beetles was simply to grant him of his intention of experiencing a fight against some Treasure Beetles.

He really appreciates their intention...

However, because of this, there are unconscious Treasure Beetles lying on the ground right now.

If they're just going to leave these unconscious Treasure Beetles here, then they'd definitely report to the other Treasure Beetles who had attacked them the moment they woke up. But with the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle already enraged, it would be impossible to bring all of these unconscious Treasure Beetles nearby the Storm Sparrow Tree without getting found out by the Treasure Beetles.

"No worries," Iasiah was the one that replied. He waved his hand, quickly taking out a few bodies of Storm Sparrows from his Storage Ring. He then explained, "We've met with Elvis' team just a while ago, and we asked them for a few Storm Sparrow's carcasses,"

After laying down the Storm Sparrow's carcasses, Iasiah then began killing the Treasure Beetles using Wind Element attacks.

With such a set-up, it would look like that these Treasure Beetles had a battle with a group of Storm Sparrows.

Once Iasiah was done with that, he then nodded at Chief Lago.

Seeing Iasiah's signal, Chief Lago then suddenly pulled Leo up in the air as they quickly escaped away from this place. Iasiah right after followed closely behind.

Seeing the unexpected turn of events, Leo can't help asking, "Why wasn't I inform by any of this?"

"It was Charlotte," Chief Lago replied.

"What about her?" Leo asked, a bit confused about why Charlotte was involved in this.

"Charlotte said that she had discovered something wrong while her team was taking care of the Storm Sparrows before. Apparently, what we have discovered the last time wasn't the case at all. The Treasure Beetle tribe and Storm Sparrow tribe didn't actually agree to live together in peace, but rather what we are seeing right now is just a temporary peace," Chief Lago explained.

"How did she arrive at such a conclusion?" Leo asked. He's really curious about how Charlotte discovered that there is something wrong with the situation and even came to the conclusion that it's just a temporary peace.

Nightingale already saw with his very own eyes before how the Storm Sparrows just simply ignored the Treasure Beetles that had entered their territory. And obviously, it is impossible for Nightingale to lie to him since that would make him suffer some consequences brought by the contract he had signed before.

This means to say that Charlotte had discovered very strong evidence to counter what Nightingale had just seen, thus making them completely change the plan. But what is this evidence? And how did she even found such evidence?

"Well, I don't know if I should tell you this, but considering that she returned safely-"

"Returned safely?!" Leo exclaimed loudly, his eyes immediately showing that he wasn't happy about what he had just heard.

Basing on what Chief Lago had said, did that woman actually did something dangerous while he wasn't around?!

Chief Lago quickly stopped explaining as he then hesitated whether he should tell Leo the truth or not after seeing his reaction right now.

Contrary to Chief Lago's actions though, right after seeing that he was taking so long to explain, Iasiah actually decided to explain the reason himself, "Miss Charlotte went inside the Storm Sparrow Tree in order to look for a Storm Sparrow's eggs. But what she later found out was surprisingly that the Beast Lord Storm Sparrow was currently trying to recover from a heavy injury that she could easily guess was caused by the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle basing on the fact that the injury was covered by Magical materials similar to what Elvis had described that grows out from the body of a Galaxy level Treasure Beetles,"

"It was at that time that she realized that the reason for the two Magical Beast tribes not fighting with each other right now should be because their Leaders are still trying to recover from the injury they have received from fighting with each other," Iasiah finished explaining. But he suddenly added, "Oh, I almost forgot... Charlotte was still able to get what she was aiming for and also escaped safely. That's pretty much all that happened,"

"You..." Chief Lago looked at Iasiah in disbelief. Didn't Iasiah saw Leo's reaction just now? Now that Iasiah had explained that Charlotte had done something dangerous, she would definitely be suffering from Leo's scolding later on. This means to say that he had offended one of Leo's women, which might cause him to suffer in the Mischievous Lion Guild. He could only express his pity at Iasiah inwardly.

"That woman!" Leo's expression darkens after hearing Iasiah's explanation. He ordered, "Since we have already broken their temporary peace, then let's quickly meet with them,"

"Well about that," Chief Lago said while sending signals using his eyes to Iasiah not to tell Leo the truth.

But unfortunately, Iasiah completely misunderstood what Chief Lago was trying to tell him. He simply thought that he wanted him to explain where is Charlotte right now, so he explained, "At this moment, Miss Charlotte along with Elvis and Nightingale, had gone to sneak inside the Treasure Beetle Mountain to steal some Treasure Beetle's eggs. It should be because she had thought that the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle is also still recovering from a heavy injury that the Beast Lord Storm Sparrow had caused to it, thus making it easier to steal some of their eggs,"

"Just now, we actually helped them sneak inside the Treasure Beetle Mountain by attracting the attention of the 5 Star to 7 Star Treasure Beetles we encountered and luring them away from their location before finally killing them. She also instructed us to bring these Treasure Beetle's carcasses we have inside our Storage Rings nearby the Storm Sparrow Tree so that it would further make the Treasure Beetle tribe break the temporary peace,"

"Miss Charlotte is really so wise. Mister Loki, you're so lucky to have her as one of your women," Iasiah finally finished explaining as he winked at Chief Lago to tell him that he doesn't need to explain anything anymore as he had explained it for him.

Chief Lago could only heave a heavy sigh after seeing what Iasiah had just done. This guy has now seriously completely offended Charlotte. Once this is all over, there's no doubt that he'd be having a lot of trouble in the Mischievous Lion Guild. And with his actions today, there might just be no way to fix the mess that he had created himself. What's, even more, worst is, he might just even get implicated in this mess. Though he might not really have to suffer that much since he's always by Leo's side, so...

Farewell, brother Iasiah...
