The moon was full tonight, its bright light illuminating both the sky and the ground.

The Yellow Forest, despite being dark, was unusually bright at this moment.

On the top of a tall yellow tree, a figure was silently standing and hiding behind an inconspicuous stem, looking around the ground lightened by the bright moon up the sky.

This figure was Leo.

Leo was standing still on the top of a tree stem, while currently following behind a pack of Yellow Silver Fur Wolves. Leading the pack of wolves was a Yellow Silver Fur Alpha Wolf, a near to One Star Magical Beast. Unlike all the other Yellow Silver Fur Wolf, this Alpha Wolf was bigger and brighter in yellow color. Its jaws were also longer, and its four ankles and tail had also formed a seemingly flame-like shape, which simply implies that this Yellow Silver Fur Alpha Wolf was nearing the next stage of its evolution to a One-Star Magical Beast.

The Yellow Silver Fur Alpha Wolf was the reason why Leo was currently hiding on the top of a tall yellow tree at a distance of more than 20 meters.

Following behind this pack of Yellow Silver Fur Wolves with an Alpha Wolf around was nearly a suicidal decision to take since wolves were commonly known as Magical Beast with a strong sense of smell. Just an ordinary Yellow Silver Fur Wolves alone are already able to smell a scent within a distance of 10 meters in diameter, while the Yellow Silver Fur Alpha Wolf can smell a scent within a distance of 20 meters in diameter.

Knowing that information, Leo could only stay behind the 20-meter distance and also on top of the tree to be truly assured that he was safe from the perimeter of this pack of Yellow Silver Fur Wolves.

However, despite being dangerous, Leo doesn't have any other choice but to follow behind this pack of wolves.

It all started way back after leaving the hole of the Yellow-Skinned Anaconda's egg.

.....

After finishing covering the hole, Leo quickly retraced back his steps using those bushes that he had left behind with an obvious sign. And, after arriving at the location where he had found himself being lost before, he quickly chooses a random direction around the area opposite to the direction that he had already gone to.

Fortunately, just after a few hours of searching around the place, exactly the moment he finished eating his meal, he realized that he had unknowingly attracted a pack of Magical Beasts, obviously due to the scent of the food that he had finished eating.

Without any hesitation, he quickly left the place before he could get himself surrounded by the pack of unknown Magical Beasts.

It was truly a good thing that he had bought with him a few pieces of the Yellow-Skinned Anaconda's meat, so he was able to distract the unknown pack using the meat and hence easily be able to delay them.

As soon as he arrived at a safe distance, he suddenly turned back. He was quick to notice that the Magical Beast that he had unknowingly attracted was coincidentally what he currently needed the most, a weak Magical Beast!

The weak Magical Beast that Leo had found was actually a Yellow Silver Fur Wolf. A kind of Magical Beast that isn't the type to live in the inner parts of the Yellow Forest, since these wolves were not yet One Star Magical Beast. However, they still like to hunt around the inner region to strengthen themselves.

"I have finally found a weak Magical Beast!"

However, after he went to follow behind the pack of Yellow Silver Fur Wolves, just a few minutes later, he quickly came back running away for his life. The pack of wolves actually had an Alpha Wolf with them, and it was currently chasing behind him.

Fortunately, he was able to escape again by climbing to the top of a tall yellow tree and jumping from one tree to another to escape away from the Alpha Wolf, which was not a problem for him since the trees were pretty close to each other.

Of course, he didn't just run away without thinking. While running, he was, at the same time, also paying attention to the Alpha Wolf's whereabouts. After all, he needed them in order for him to return to the outer part of the Yellow Forest.

That was all that had happened before the present moment.

.....

Now, Leo was standing on top of a tree, jumping from one tree to another just to follow the pack of Yellow Silver Fur Wolves. Although it was suicidal, it was the only choice he had since he was still unable to find any other weak Magical Beast around after finding these wolves.

Suddenly, the pack of Yellow Silver Fur Wolves stopped moving.

Leo also didn't dare to continue moving, since he might accidentally cross the perimeter.

After stopping, the Alpha Wolf suddenly sniffs around, seeming as if it had detected some kind of scent. At this moment, Leo didn't dare make a move. The scent that the Alpha Wolf is sniffing around might just be his.

As if being able to smell something dangerous, the Alpha Wolf suddenly turned around before leading the pack of Yellow Silver Fur Wolves to run away from their current location.

The location the wolves were running to was coincidental straight to Leo's location.

"Damn, how did they even get my smell, I didn't even cross their perimeter yet!" Leo swore before also running away from the direction of the pack of Yellow Silver Fur Wolves.

Leo was frankly curious as to how the Alpha Wolf got his smell. He could confidently claim that he was at a very safe distance, so just how did they find out his smell?!

"F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck...." Leo kept on swearing inside his mind while at the same time frantically jumping about from one tree to another tree.

On the other hand, the pack of Yellow Silver Fur Wolves was already nearing his location.

The distance was decreasing steadily fast. From more than 20 meters distance to a close 10 meters distance. Fortunately, though, Leo was on top of a tree. So, even if the pack of Yellow Silver Fur Wolves arrived at his location, he would still be able to escape, since he was on top while they were all on the ground.

Out of nowhere, the pack of Yellow Silver Fur Wolves quickly turned around to the southeast.

At first, Leo was also curious about why they suddenly changed direction, since his direction was not that way. But he soon found out the reason why.

A group of 5 Two-Horned Beasts appeared 20 meters from Leo's current position.

"Ahhh, freaking sh*t!" Leo could only swear as he also ran towards the southeast, where the pack of Yellow Silver Fur Wolves had run towards.

Even though Leo could simply just change direction since the group of Two-Horned Beasts' intention was obviously to chase after the pack of Yellow Silver Fur Wolves. But, by doing so, he will need to find another weak Magical Beast, again.

However, ever since he chose to follow the pack of Yellow Silver Fur Wolves without paying much attention to his surroundings, he had lost track of his location. If he decided to change direction now just to avoid the group of Two-Horned Beasts, he wouldn't be able to guarantee to himself whether he could still find a way to escape this place alive.

While running away, Leo simultaneously started absorbing the Wind Mana around the surroundings and quickly summoning Wind Elementals. He was hoping that his Wind Elementals would be able to delay the group of Two-Horned Beasts.

"My dearest luck, please let this work!" Leo murmured to himself, hoping that the fortune which had always brought him treasures would now help him escape this extremely dangerous situation.

.....

After hours of running, Leo finally managed to lose sight of the group of Two-Horned Beasts chasing him. Unfortunately, he also lost track of the pack of Yellow Silver Fur Wolves. Even so, it wasn't all bad—right in front of him lay an endless expanse of short yellow trees, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The short yellow trees, though ordinary in appearance and standing just like any other trees, were treated by Leo as a gift from the heavens.

The short yellow trees for Leo were like an object shining brightly, although it was currently night, giving him hope and showing him that all his efforts finally produced a beautiful fruit that could save him from being lost.

The yellow tree stems, that were covering the sky, were like a roof, sheltering him from the danger that he had just gone through, assuring him too, that he would not encounter the same danger again once he took a single step under their branches.

The yellow tree leaves, swaying through the winds, were like waving hands, welcoming him back to the long-lost home that he left.

And lastly, the yellow ground, just an ordinary yellow ground, was like a red carpet, inviting him to walk on it so that he would finally be able to enter his home.

"What's wrong with my mind!!" Leo quickly shook his head to dismiss such imaginative thoughts. He just entered the outer part of the Yellow Forest. Nothing really important... was it?

The yellow rocks, although just staying still...

Leo quickly left the area. He was genuinely afraid that his thoughts would suddenly run wild to the point that he would start hugging the trees and making a dirt angel on the ground.
