(Author's note: This is the update for yesterday and today, hehehe!)

Going down the hill, Leo immediately retraced back his steps. He was sure that his location before will be nearer the outer part of the Yellow forest, so he is starting his search for any weak Magical Beast over there.

Fortunately, he was traveling along with the bushes. There were obvious holes or signs to the bushes that he had used along the way, hence making him easily retrace back to his location from before.

*Bang!

While moving from bushes to bushes, Leo suddenly heard a muffled sound nearby. He knew that he was in a rush, but he was really curious about what had caused the sound.

It might be something dangerous or might just be another fight between two Magical Beast. But still, since Leo was in the inner part of the forest, knowing one or more of its danger would always be a good thing, right? Especially if he's going to run around from places to places with his plan. Being aware of its possible dangers could surely be a good thing to learn first.

Quickly, Leo changed his direction towards the location of the sound that he had heard. Of course, he had also left some obvious signs to the bushes so he could easily retrace back his steps later on.

Moving from bushes to bushes, Leo could vaguely see a long yellow object along his way. After arriving near the object, he immediately became shocked. It was actually a part of a Yellow Skinned Anaconda's body. Moreover, he could quickly recognize that the body was from the Yellow Skinned Anaconda he had met before.

There were obvious traces of wounds caused by the claw marks of the Two-Horned Beast. So Leo was able to easily recognized it.

Shockingly though, when Leo looked at the body, the body wasn't actually the whole Yellow Skinned Anaconda, but just a part of it. Clearly, the part that the Two-Horned Beast had clawed before was really so deep, it was to the point that it had cut through the Yellow Skinned Anaconda's body.

"What a shocking strength the Two-Horned Beast has!" Leo exclaimed in astonishment.

'Although it has such a shocking strength that could easily cut through the body of One-Star Magical Beast, but it was still killed easily inside the Yellow Forest.'

'What if the Yellow Skinned Anaconda was me? Would I be cut into two or be pulverize into many pieces instead by the Two-Horned Beast?'

Cold sweat suddenly appeared on Leo's forehead because of being terrified by such a thought. He quickly shook his head to forget about it. He was already sure that the answer was being pulverized into pieces. Such a powerful claw strike combined with Magic was obviously something his body won't be able to handle, hence being pulverized into pieces was surely his outcome.

Looking at the other end of the Yellow Skinned Anaconda's body, Leo noticed traces of blood on the ground, obvious traces leading to the other part of its body. Without any hesitation, he quickly followed the trace. He also didn't forget to leave obvious signs along the way.

The next moment, Leo arrived near a small hole leading towards the underground. He quickly saw the other part of the body of the Yellow Skinned Anaconda, seemingly trying to get inside the hole. Though, its body was just silently laying on the ground.

The Yellow Skinned Anaconda was unfortunately already dead.

Moving near the Yellow Skinned Anaconda, Leo curiously put his hand on its body. He quickly thought, 'Such a powerful creature, what possible treasures could I find inside this hole?'

The Yellow Skinned Anaconda could easily be deduced that it was going inside the small hole. For it to die trying to get inside the hole, it might be because it has some sort of treasure or something, right?

'With how powerful the Yellow Skinned Anaconda was, obviously it would also have treasures hidden in its home.'

Leo doesn't have anything to worry about. The Anaconda was already dead. Even if he just lay down on its head tonight to sleep, the next day he would still be able to wake up alive.

Leo could not help but let out a proud smile. He really can't help but be proud of how lucky he was in all of these days. The last time he had found 12 pieces of dark blue colored large Mana stones and a seriously injured Magical Beast Lizard in a cave. On top of that, he had also earned over 2,000 points. And now, he stumbled on a dead Yellow Skinned Anaconda. Such luck was really something to be proud of...

Although he was unlucky that he got lost inside the Yellow Forest. He was still fortunate enough since he had discovered a treasure. If he wasn't in a hurry, not on a mission, and has no people worrying about for him, he wouldn't actually mind staying in this forest for a month or two to train himself.

The inner part of the Yellow Forest, although being labeled as a dangerous wilderness by others, was actually not really dangerous to Leo. In fact, he admits that it would still be dangerous staying in such an environment for a long period of time, but he, who had killed plenty of Magical Beast in the past 10 years and so, and has also a rich amount of experience about them, being in the inner part of the Yellow Forest was more like diving inside a cave full of treasures.

'With danger comes opportunity!'

Leo quickly thought of those four words to compliment his current situation.

Unfortunately, though, Leo also realized that he couldn't bring the whole Yellow Skinned Anaconda with him.

'Too bad I have nothing to carry the body with me.'

He might have found a treasure, but he was still unable to bring the whole thing with him.

But still, bringing its whole body might be a problem, but bringing the skin of the Yellow Skinned Anaconda wasn't. Skins of any Magical Beast Snakes were always popular with the masses. Earning a huge amount of gold coins from it is not a problem. Moreover, this was a skin of One-Star Magical Beast, Leo was sure that he would be able to earn a lot by selling it.

Although he doesn't know just what kind of effects, the skin of One-Star Magical Beast Yellow Skinned Anaconda would have, but he was sure that it would be something powerful. A mere ordinary Magical Beast like the Silver Fur Wolf could already defend against a few attacks from iron weapons just with its fur, how much more One Star Magical Beast like the Yellow Skinned Anaconda.

Quickly and excitedly, Leo began to separate the skin and the body of the Yellow Skinned Anaconda.

Fortunately, he had bought his Glacier Bow with him. The bow wasn't only a weapon that he could use for long-range, but could also be used as a melee weapon. Its edges were as sharp and as tough as diamonds, so skinning the Yellow Skinned Anaconda was easy.

It was already dawn when Leo finally finished skinning the body of the Yellow Skinned Anaconda. Fortunately, he didn't meet any trouble at all this entire time. It was reasonable though, after all, this was the territory of the Yellow Skinned Anaconda, One-Star Magical Beast, so no other Magical Beast would just bluntly walk inside. Unless of course if that Magical Beast has malicious intent towards the Yellow Skinned Anaconda.

Since it was already morning, and the place was really safe, Leo immediately went inside the hole to check whether he could sleep inside it or not.

There might be a treasure inside, but Leo was too tired now, and he wanted to sleep first.

Indeed, Leo was already really tired at this moment. He runs through the forest for hours the whole night with caution and carefulness. And then he was skinning the Yellow Skinned Anaconda just now, hence using a huge amount of energy to do so. So, he would naturally be really tired after all of that.

Arriving inside, Leo was quickly in shock at the sight in front of him. There was an empty space, really, however, it was in the middle of countless eggs, specifically Anaconda's eggs.

There were just so many eggs to the point that he was unable to count just how many it was. The only thing he could describe was the amount of eggs that covered the entire ground, except the space in the middle.

The inside of the hole was around 100 meters in diameter, and the whole place was covered by a countless amount of eggs, only leaving around 10 meters in diameter open space in the middle, which was obviously where the Yellow Skinned Anaconda would sleep.

Leo's face lit brightly in excitement. He can't help but let out a loud laugh inside as he said joyously, "All of these eggs are mine!!"
