Chapter 60 What To Do With The Eggs?

While walking around inside the cave, Leo's excitement was building up, seemingly reaching the very top of the sky. There were just countless eggs around, so he couldn't stop his excitement from growing, especially every time he thought of what to do with the eggs.

However, despite his excitement, and even though there were just plenty of plans that kept on building up in his mind, he could still calmly think of an excellent plan on what to do with the countless eggs.

With these numerous eggs, he was planning to hide them in this hole for the meantime and return again once he was capable enough to have the means to tame all the Anacondas inside the eggs.

Magical Beast eggs have one thing in common. The eggs will never hatch unless fed with Mana and they will also never die even if not fed with Mana. Unless, someone purposely breaks the egg, obviously in that case it would die.

The Magical Beast eggs would just have to wait in this hole until he plans to hatch it. And leaving the eggs for the meantime is not a problem too, since they will not die, anyway.

Moreover, a Magical Beast finding the eggs isn't also a problem, since Magical Beast eggs weren't useful in any case. Only when the eggs are hatched and turned into a Magical Beast, will they become useful, not when they are still in their egg form. Also, Magical Beast eggs don't contain Mana or will give power to anyone who consumes it. So, no Magical Beast will become interested in the eggs. Unless, that Magical Beast was intelligent enough to be able to think of feeding the eggs with Mana to raise livestock, which is something that only Five Star Magical Beast and higher can think about.

The Yellow Forest doesn't have such a powerful Magical Beast around. If the Yellow Forest indeed has one, then Silver Kingdom would eliminate it immediately, since having such a powerful Magical Beast in the middle of the Silver Kingdom's territory would practically cause trouble to its own people.

So, Leo's plan of returning once he becomes capable enough to have the means to tame the Anacondas inside the eggs doesn't have any problems.

To be honest, Leo's plan wasn't just to tame the Yellow-Skinned Anaconda's inside the eggs, but to use all the eggs to make his ideal army. An army of cavalier riding on top of a Yellow-Skinned Anaconda. Such an army of cavalry would no doubt provide a lot of security to the Heart City.

As to why?

The reason was simple. After all, Leo was already given the ability by the Red Cube to summon Elementals, so naturally, he will not just waste such ability ruling a small territory like Heart City. Even a blind, lazy, or cripple person, once given an ability like his, would also have the same thoughts in their minds.

Also, the moment he had made Cassandra his slave, he had already thought of building his Empire in the near future. Even if he wasn't given the ability to summon Elementals, he would simply work hard and do everything instead to achieve such a goal. No matter how impossible it is, he will still find a way to do it in order to become strong, and hence be able to help Cassandra take back her kingdom. And once that's all done, he will then work from that to make his Empire.

Such a plan had long been building up inside his mind. Even when he was still a kid, he had already thought of doing so. Though such thoughts were just ideas for the moment since he doesn't have any ability to turn it into a reality, yet.

However, this time was different already. The Leo now was a Mage, had been given the ability to summon Elementals by the Red Cube, could digest a huge amount of Mana easily, and lastly had the resources to make such a dream come into reality. So, taking all the steps to reach his goal is possible now.

After walking around the cave, Leo decided that it was time to take a rest. Time was quickly running. He can't just let Cassandra and the others keep on waiting for him at White River City. He needs to hurry up and meet them. But first, he needs to take his sleep in order for him to replenish his energy and to rest his already exhausted body.

.....

It was already dusk when Leo woke up.

Without any further hesitation, Leo quickly left the hole. Arriving outside, he enlarged his Earth Elemental and ordered it to carefully cover the hole with dirt and other things that he could use to cover up the entire place.

"Go cover up that cave!"

Although the Yellow-Skinned Anaconda's eggs being discovered by other Magical Beast wasn't a problem, being discovered by other Humans was a problem.

Magical Beast eggs weren't of any use to Magical Beast, however, to Humans it was. Especially to the alchemist, since Magical Beast eggs were one of the ingredients to make potions.

Hence, the moment a fellow Human finds out about the hole, they will obviously think of using it for themselves. Probably those people would sell the Magical Beast eggs to earn a quick buck. Magical Beast eggs weren't cheap in the market after all, though its prices vary depending on what type of Magical Beast egg it was. Magical Beast eggs were also really popular among the masses because they could hatch the eggs and train them to become a tamed Magical Beast. Lastly, they could also just use it for themselves once they found the hole with the eggs, just like what Leo planned to do.

So, with all of those reasons, Leo couldn't just be careless when covering the hole. He needs to be cautious, pay attention to details, and be sure to cover each edge and inch that might point out that the place was a nest full of eggs. Only by doing all of those could he be assured about the eggs not being found out by any other Humans.

After the Earth Elemental did all of that, the hole was now like a small natural hill. A hill with a rough diameter of 20 meters and with a height of over 30 meters. Also, yellow trees and bushes could be seen covering the top of the hill which had seemingly made the hill a natural hill instead of being a man-made one.

Of course, Leo naturally added something conspicuous at the place to allow him to find the hill easily. But this conspicuous object was something that only he knew the purpose of in that area.

A yellow tree near the hill was cut, before trimming off all of its leaves and putting the skeleton head of the Yellow Skinned Anaconda at the treetop, while its skeleton body was crisscrossing the trunk. Afterward, Leo ordered the Earth Elemental to make the tree stand up again.

"Finally, I'm done!" Leo silently muttered to himself.

Even if other Humans could find this place because of the Yellow-Skinned Anaconda's skeleton, they would still not be able to understand the meaning behind the tree.

After finally finishing all of those things, Leo finally decided to leave the area and start looking for those weak Magical Beasts.

It is now time for him to leave this place.
