After explaining that, Elvis then quickly returned back to the main topic, "Anyways, I don't know what exactly could be found in the important part of the Phoenix Taming Tower, but it's certainly something valuable,"

"To be honest, after discovering the secret underground stairway of the Phoenix Taming Tower, I immediately tried to search the place, in hopes of finding some treasures and the likes. But unfortunately, I found numerous dangerous traps hidden all over the place," Elvis said with a sigh, he then continued, "Those traps were so hard to find, and are also something that with my cultivation level alone couldn't hope to defend against. That's why I decided to stop and decided to simply sell the secret of this place instead to the Emerald Tree Kingdom, hoping that someone from there would be able to benefit from this place,"

"If my memories serve me right, it was Commander Vargas who bought the secret from me," Elvis said.

"So that's the reason why Commander Vargas knows about the secret of this Phoenix Taming Tower," Leo finally understood why Commander Vargas wanted his help in searching the Phoenix Taming Tower.

Honestly, he really didn't expect that the simple map that he had bought from Elvis before actually holds such a lot of value. Hopefully, though, that this will turn out to be true.

Anyways, he wasn't here to explore this place. He'd just leave the exploring of this place to Commander Vargas and his men, along with Chief Lago, Sebastian, Dan, and old man Torre who he would be assigning to help them.

Now that he's done checking the Phoenix Taming Tower and had even gotten to know some important information about this place, it's now time to catch a 9 Star level Magical Beasts, or best, a Galaxy level Magical Beasts. Though he strongly doubts that they can catch a Galaxy level Magical Beasts this time, considering that there's only Charlotte and Chief Lago present here.

Actually, it's much better that he will just think about catching some Galaxy-level Magical Beasts once Edward returns from his mission with Sele. At that time, there would at least be an assurance for their safety and a high chance of successfully catching a Galaxy-level Magical Beast.

"So, according to the information I've gathered about this place 10 years ago, the Magical Beast tribes that live here are only two, specifically the Storm Sparrow and Treasure Beetle," Elvis informed everyone. He then continued, "Both Magical Beasts can fly, and are really powerful. Just putting one of them to the Green Area that we have just cleared is already enough to make them the ruler of the place. And not just any ordinary ruler like the Savage Foxes, because what these two Magical Beasts would do is they would claim the entire place as their own, meaning to say only their species can live in the place while the rest would be kicked out,"

"The first time I came here, this place was a warzone between the Storm Sparrow and Treasure Beetle. I don't know about now, but seeing that we haven't encountered any of the two Magical Beasts yet, it should mean that this place is no longer the same as before. Maybe one of the two Magical Beasts has already won, making this place solely their own territory, or that they have reached an agreement. No matter what it is though, it still meant danger and trouble for us," Elvis finished explaining.

"I don't have as much information as you know about this place, so I'm leaving it to you to lead our group," Leo suggested.

"Are you sure?" Elvis can't help asking, a bit dubious. To be honest, such kind of proposal from Mister Loki is really not something that he had expected. From the moment he became a member of the Mischievous Lion Guild, he had never seen Mister Loki giving the leadership of the group that he belongs to somebody else.

"Of course, I'm sure," Leo nodded his head as he explained, "If I lead everyone this time, I won't have anything else to say aside from that let's adapt our action depending on the given situation. So, it's much better to let you lead us instead,"

Hearing Mister Loki's confirmation, Elvis smiled delightfully as he replied, "I promise to you that I won't fail your expectations,"

"Just make sure that all of us here can return safely," Leo taps Elvis' shoulder before motioning his hand to let him know that the stage is now his.

"Okay," Elvis nodded his head.

Unbeknownst to Elvis, assigning him to become the Leader of this group was actually Leo's way of determining the level of his leadership ability. After all, he's going to assign Elvis to manage the Intelligence Department of the Mischievous Lion once he passes the test that they have made. And such a position requires a high level of leadership ability.

To determine the level of Elvis' leadership ability, it would depend on how good he would be in their mission this time of catching 9 Star level Magical Beasts.

"Let's start with the information about both the Storm Sparrow and Treasure Beetle," Elvis decided that it's much better to explain about the two Magical Beasts first before planning on how they should catch them.

"Unlike the Magical Beasts that we have encountered in the Green Area we have cleared before, both the Storm Sparrow and Treasure Beetle could use Element Power," Elvis begin explaining.

Just like Mages, Magical Beasts could also use Magic spells, though for them it's called Element Power.

The Element Power has the same function as when Mages are casting Magic spells, specifically the Magical Beasts would gather Mana from their surroundings, convert them into an Element Mana, and then use this Element Mana to release a powerful attack.

All the Magical Beast knows how to use Element Power. Some of them though still need to learn it first before being able to do it while the others are inborn with such ability. The Three-Tailed Savage Foxes belong to the former because despite being powerful Magical Beasts with an 8 Star level cultivation, they still don't have an attack involving any Element Power, implying that they are still trying to learn. An example of the latter is the Golden Thunderstorm Python who can use Lightning Element attack.

"The Storm Sparrow are Magical Beasts that are adept at using both Wind and Lightning Element. They have extremely sharp eyes that can see even the tiniest object around them and has a sharp claw that can cut through even metals. Their beaks are also something to be wary against, as they can easily break a thick tree. Lastly, they can cross 100 meters of distance in just a single flap of their powerful wings.

"On the other hand, Treasure Beetle are Magical Beasts that are adept at using both Earth and Metal Element. They have a very tough body that can block against Magic weapons made out of Magic Steel, and a horn that can pierce even metals. Their legs are also very strong, so we need to take them into consideration as well. As for their ability to fly, they can only reach a height of 10 kilometers high, while their speed is, they can travel 10 meters in every flap of their wings; not that fast, but also not considered as slow,"

"As for their location," Elvis said before pointing at the direction of the huge mountain to their east, "That place is where the Treasure Beetle lives," then he pointed at a giant tree at the south and said, "And that is where Storm Sparrow lives,"

Elvis took out a map from his Storage Ring before saying, "Our location is at the far west of this Red Area, so if we want to catch a 9 Star Storm Sparrow or a 9 Star Treasure Beetle, the best location to wait is at the center,"

After saying that, Elvis made a circle at the center of the mountain and the giant tree. In the next moment though, he let out a heavy sigh before explaining, "Unfortunately though, this location is considered as the most dangerous place in this Red Area. So, catching them there is extremely difficult. Taking into consideration as well that a 9 Star level Magical Beasts would certainly not be moving alone, thus adding more difficulty in catching them,"

"So what is your idea?" Leo asked.

"First, we have to know why the Storm Sparrow and Treasure Beetle are no longer fighting with each other. Only after confirming that could we make a plan to fight against them," Elvis replied.

"Oh, so what you're proposing for us to do is if the Storm Sparrow and Treasure Beetle had agreed to live in peace and harmony with each other, then we would, in turn, disturb the peace of the two Magical Beast tribes?" Charlotte suddenly interrupted.

"Yes," Elvis nodded his head in confirmation. He then added, "And if the situation right now is just a temporary peace, then breaking this peace would be a lot easier for us,"

"Indeed," Charlotte was able to quickly understood what Elvis meant. And so was Leo and the others as well.

Leo turned to look at everyone while saying, "I don't see any problems with Elvis' plan. So, let's begin?"

"Okay!" Charlotte, Chief Lago, Iasiah, and Nightingale all nodded their heads in agreement.

"Then, let's start," Elvis said.

With that said, Leo along with Charlotte, Chief Lago, Elvis, Iasiah, and Nightingale immediately started moving in the direction of the mountain.

The reason for them to choose the mountain where the Treasure Beetle live at instead of the tree where the Storm Sparrow lives at is simply because of the fact that the Storm Sparrow has an extremely sharp vision that would allow them to easily find their prey, which in this situation is them.

Obviously, that would be troublesome for them once they are found by the Storm Sparrow, that's why they decided to choose the Treasure Beetle instead.
