With the black-colored mist's help, Leo and the others were eventually able to escape successfully from the Treasure Beetles chasing after them.

At this moment, all the Treasure Beetles chasing after them found themselves lost as they entered the mist and unable to continue chasing after them any further.

Leo and the others soon arrived at the Dark-green Area located before the Red Area where the Phoenix Taming Tower, Treasure Beetle Mountain, and Storm Sparrow Tree are located at.

As it was already a safe location, Leo and the others decided to take a rest and recuperate their lost energy and stamina.

What they have done just now was really energy consuming, especially the part where they are escaping while carrying the unconscious Beast Lord Treasure Beetle. This big guy inside the cage was almost 1,000 kilograms of weight. If only Charlotte and Chief Lago weren't present with them right now, then even if they have dozens of 6 Star and 7 Star Mages with them right now, it would still prove to be impossible to carry the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle.

Honestly, this was one of the major mistakes that they haven't thought about. Knowing the weight of their target is seriously really important, especially if their goal is to carry their target from one place to another.

"Damn, that was really heavy!" Elvis exclaimed before slamming himself to the ground, showing everyone how extremely tired and exhausted he was already.

"You don't need to say it for everyone to know," Iasiah said as he rested his back on the cage.

"Yeah..." Nightingale added before crossing his legs together on the ground.

Elves like Elvis, Iasiah, and Nightingale weren't really considered as a physically fit race. The body of an Elf is somewhat thin with almost no muscles or fats to be seen, making it a challenge for them to carry heavy objects around. Even if they have a high cultivation level, their physical strength is still something that they are disadvantageous about. Even a small race like the Goblin race could carry twice the weight that what an Elf could carry.

Although the Elves' situation isn't really that bad, because even though they lacked physical strength, they still have a superb appearance and a strong affinity to Mana, thus easily being able to communicate with Magical Beasts and successfully taming them.

"You three are really like sissies, even a woman like me is much stronger than the three of you combined together," Charlotte can't help saying.

"To translate her words, you three are an insult to the word 'man'," Chief Lago added with a chuckle.

"Tch, try to be an Elf like me. Let's see if you can still laugh like now," Elvis coldly harrumphed.

Both Iasiah and Nightingale nodded their heads in agreement with what Elvis had just said.

Humans can be as strong as the Orc race or even the Demon race. While on the other hand, the Hybrid race is also a combination of different types of Beastman races. Simply put, these two races are basically born with natural strength. So, the Elf race can't compare to them.

Seeing Charlotte and the others arguing about who's physically strong and weak, Leo cleared his throat to interrupt them. He then said, "So, how much harvest did you get from the nest of the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle?"

This question was something that Leo really wanted to know from Charlotte and the others. He was observing before through the eyes of the Earth Elementals how they were putting one Treasure Beetle's eggs and another inside their Storage Rings, but unfortunately, due to how fast they were moving and that all of them were separated from one another, it was impossible for him to calculate the number.

Hearing Leo's question, Charlotte and the others immediately stopped arguing as their lips slowly formed into a smile.

"Hehehe, two words, A-Lot!" Charlotte said as she then gave Leo a total of 12 pieces of Large Storage Rings where they have put all the Treasure Beetle's eggs inside before adding, "You can check it yourself,"

Leo accepted the Large Storage Rings before checking the content inside. To his surprised, the amount of Treasure Beetle's eggs that they have stolen is nearly twelve thousand Treasure Beetle's eggs.

It wasn't really that difficult to calculate the number of Treasure Beetle's eggs inside the Large Storage Rings, because each Large Storage Rings could store a maximum capacity of one thousand Treasure Beetle's eggs inside, unlike the Storage Rings they used before which could only store a mere amount of 100 Magical Beast's eggs each.

The reason why they started using Large Storage Rings is simply because it's much convenient as it has a much bigger space inside, especially considering the fact that they are bringing with them tens of thousands of cages and other necessary items to clear that Green Area of Magical Beasts before.

All 11 Large Storage Rings that Charlotte had given to him were filled to the max with Treasure Beetle's eggs, while the twelfth Large Storage Ring only contains roughly more or less half of its maximum storage capacity.

The amount of Treasure Beetle's eggs that they have stolen is no doubt considered as a huge harvest.

Once they hatched all of these Treasure Beetle's eggs, then they would be able to have an unlimited source of tens of thousands of precious materials. Not to mention, there were also a few Mutated Treasure Beetle's eggs numbering hundreds, meaning to say they could also have an unlimited source of hundreds of Magical materials.

With that, their Mischievous Lion Guild would no doubt be able to easily grow more powerful. Moreover, they could also use these Treasure Beetle's eggs to invite talented Blacksmiths to join them, since what they needed to improve their talent and skills are exactly the precious materials and Magical materials that the Treasure Beetles could produce.

"I don't really want to start a fight or anything of the likes just because of these Treasure Beetle's eggs, so let's divide all of it by six. I have already counted the exact amount before, and there's a total of 11,532 Treasure Beetle's eggs inside, which is to say that each of us will have a total of 1,922 Treasure Beetle's eggs. Do you guys have any questions?" Charlotte said as she looked at Leo and the others.

Honestly, 1,922 Treasure Beetle's eggs are already considered a lot, even if they could only have 20% shares from each one of these Treasure Beetle's eggs. And in fact, they don't even have that much of an idea yet just where exactly they would put their profits into use aside from selling them to earn more money and buy what they needed for themselves.

So, without any hesitation, Leo and the others nodded their heads.

Leo quickly handed to Charlotte and the others two Large Storage Rings each, specifically numbering to 2,000 Treasure Beetle's eggs inside for each of them, while he decided to keep the eleventh and twelfth Lage Storage Rings for himself.

"I feel a bit ashamed if I have the same share as all of you guys, considering that I didn't really do that much to help you steal all of these Treasure Beetle's eggs. So, I'll only take 1,532 Treasure Beetle's eggs for myself while the rest of you will have 2,000 Treasure Beetle's eggs each," Leo explained the reason why he's giving everyone two Large Storage Rings each.

He's not really that much of a thick-face or shameless person, that's why 1,532 Treasure Beetle's eggs are more than enough for him. And besides, he's the Guild Leader of the Mischievous Lion Guild, so even if he does or doesn't have any of these 1,532 Treasure Beetle's eggs, he would still be able to gain a profit for himself.

"Thank you, Guild Leader Loki," Charlotte and the others expressed their gratitude towards Leo.

"No big deal," Leo said. He then continued, "Anyways, let's take a rest here for a bit and quickly return back to our Temporary base,"

Although they have already successfully escaped from the Treasure Beetles chasing after them, it's still not a sure guarantee yet that they could indeed also successfully bring the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle to the Emerald Tree Kingdom.

There are still a lot of unknown variables brought by this Beast Lord Treasure Beetle that they have captured that hasn't surfaced to them yet. And all of those things have a chance, either small or big chance, of happening and becoming into reality as long as they haven't yet exchanged the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle to the Evergreen royal family. So until then, they will not think that they are done with everything here and let down their guard.

Charlotte and the others nodded their heads as they easily understood what Leo meant to say. Hence, they began resting and recuperating their lost energy and stamina.

After nearly an hour of recuperating, they then continued on their journey back to their temporary base.

In the process of the journey, the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle had woken up thrice, nearly causing them a lot of trouble. Fortunately, Charlotte and Chief Lago were able to quickly make it unconscious again, thus solving the problem easily.

Though that was not the only problem they faced, because they have also encountered a lot of Magical Beasts that have an intent to kill them.

As they couldn't really bother wasting any of their energy and stamina to fight against those Magical Beasts, Leo decided to summon 30 Wind Elementals once again and turn them into a mist so as to hide themselves inside and not let those Magical Beasts find them. And because of this, their journey became a lot easier.

Before the night came, they have finally returned back to their temporary base.
