Five days later, Leo and the Mischievous Lion Guild have finally finished clearing this Green Area of Magical Beasts.

The process was challenging, but it wasn\'t really that difficult, most likely because they have won the battle against the Magical Beasts.

They started expanding the 50 or so of meters of land that they have cleared out the last time until eventually reaching the remaining Magical Beast tribes.

As all the Magical Beast tribes don\'t have any capable Leaders anymore, thus defeating them wasn\'t that difficult, though this also, unfortunately, means that they have lost the chance of capturing a powerful Magical Beast and earn a lot of points.

On the other hand, those Magical Beasts that don\'t belong on any Magical Beast tribes were helplessly being cherry-picked one by one.

In total, they have caught 1,852 or so of Magical Beasts with a cultivation level ranging from No Star to 8 Star level, though the majority were mostly in the No Star to 5 Star level, while only a few were in the 6 Star to 8 Star level.

At most, they would be able to earn a million or so of points out from all of the Magical Beasts they have caught.

Honestly, they have actually expected a bit more than that, specifically around 2 million or so of points. After all, this was such a large area. Therefore, there should have been a lot of Magical Beasts inhabiting this place.

Though they easily found out the reason why...

The Savage Foxes were the known rulers... or to be more precise, predators of this Green Area. With their cunning character, they obviously wouldn\'t allow any of the forces of the other Magical Beast tribes to become more stronger than their own forces, nor would they allow any Magical Beasts to grow more stronger than the five Three-Tailed Savage Foxes.

Moreover, the Savage Foxes would most likely also use the other Magical Beasts living in this Green Area to benefit themselves. Like for example, they will hunt for those Magical Beasts with high cultivation because they provide more benefits.

This action of the Savage Foxes leads to the population of the Magical Beasts living in this Green Area to be low in numbers, especially the Magical Beast tribes.

Take the Sun Desert as an example, the Cave Lizard tribe alone that they have fought against before already has nearly a thousand of men. Yet in this place, a Magical Beast tribe, like for example the Green Fur Ape tribe that Leo and his Alpha Lion team and the Frost Lion team had defeated before, actually only have a total of 60 Green Fur Apes.

Such a number of Magical Beasts in a Magical Beast tribe is not even considered as below average, but rather its far cry from being considered as a Magical Beast tribe.

It\'s really unfortunate for their situation to be like this...

Aside from the Magical Beasts that they have caught, they were also able to find a lot of Magical beast\'s eggs from each of the Magical Beasts that live in the Green Area.

There are just too many Magical Beast\'s eggs to count, so recording it wasn\'t yet finished.

Moreover, Magical resources found in the Magical Beast tribes were also abundant. Still being recorded though, due to the huge amount. After all, there\'s a total of 16 Magical Beast tribes in this Green Area.

.....

While the others were currently busy, taking care of everything that they have earned from this Green Area. At this moment, Leo along with Charlotte, Chief Lago, Elvis, Iasiah, and Nightingale are currently going in the direction of the Phoenix Taming Tower.

Aside from checking out the Phoenix Taming Tower, they also decided to catch some 9 Star level Magical Beasts, or best, a Galaxy level Magical Beasts.

It was Elvis that had proposed to everyone to do this, saying that the earlier they show their potential in the Emerald Event, the more members would join their Mischievous Lion Guild.

Everyone already knew that the Emerald Event is actually also the perfect time for the different Guilds in the Emerald Tree Kingdom to recruit more members to join them.

But unfortunately, Guilds could only attract members to join them during the early stage of the Emerald Event. The reason for this is simply because there would always be conditions in the Magic Contracts that new members would need to sign that restrict them from transferring from one Guild to another during the span of the Emerald Event.

Meaning to say, once a person joins a Guild during the time of the Emerald Event, they would not be able to leave the said Guild until the Emerald Event is finally over.

The Guilds decided to do this in order for them to avoid a lot of troublesome problems brought by such kinds of people.

An example of that so-called \'Such kinds of people are the spies of the other Guilds, or otherwise more commonly known to be members from the Intelligence Department.

Spies would join different Guilds in order to collect information, then after collecting information they would then leave the Guild in order for them to share the information they have gathered with their respective Guilds.

However, these spies could easily be avoided as long as the Magic Contracts that they have signed before joining are still effective. That\'s why leaving Guilds during the span of the Emerald Event is impossible.

That\'s the exact reason why Elvis proposed that they should catch 9 Star level Magical Beasts or a Galaxy level Magical Beasts on their first venture. So that once they returned with such a powerful Magical Beasts as one of their catch, they would then become famous and hence attract more members to join them while the Emerald Event is still in the early stage.

Although they have successfully caught five Three-Tailed Savage Foxes, Elvis explained that it\'s not considered as enough because other powerful Guilds, like for example the Red Fist Guild, already has numerous past records of successfully catching 8 Star level Magical Beasts.

Therefore, the only way for them to compete against those powerful Guilds is to catch a Magical Beast that is deemed difficult to catch even for those powerful Guilds. Such examples are the 9 Star level Magical Beasts and Galaxy level Magical Beasts.

Soon, Leo and everyone finally arrived at the Phoenix Taming Tower.

In front of them is a 100 meters tall and huge stone mossy brick tower. Vines could be seen slowly growing to reach the top. And one could also see a few missing bricks and cracks around the walls.

Around the Phoenix Taming Tower, one could easily find some ruins from the buildings that used to be standing in this place in the past which are all showing how old they are.

"I\'ve already checked the surrounding area of the Phoenix Taming Tower in the past, and I\'ve found nothing noteworthy aside from the fact that this place has existed for a few centuries now," Elvis informed everyone. He then continued, "From the outside, you might think that the Phoenix Taming Tower only has the upper floors, but in truth, there is actually a hidden mechanism in the ground floor that opens up an underground stairway leading to the most important part of the Phoenix Taming Tower,"

"Do you know what this important part of the Phoenix Taming Tower is?" Leo curiously asked.

"Records says that the Phoenix Taming Tower is one of the bases of the Phoenix Taming Sect,"

"Phoenix Taming Sect?" Leo can\'t help asking.

"The Phoenix Taming Sect is a very powerful Sect of the Elves\' race a few centuries ago. They are known for their great ability to tame a Magical Beast called Phoenix, and they also used those Phoenix in their battle," Elvis replied.

"Aren\'t the Phoenix supposedly also a race, like the Dragon race?" Leo quickly raised another question.

Elvis shook his head before replying, "The Phoenix race we knew today is nothing but mere descendants of the real Phoenix. Legends say that in the past, a few Phoenix who can assume a person\'s form fell in love with the likes of us, thus giving birth to the Phoenix race,"

Charlotte suddenly interrupted as she said, "Honestly, this kind of story is practically the same stories of almost every Beastman race. Like for example, in the Legend of the Fox race, they said that a Nine-Tailed Fox fell in love with a very beautiful woman, and that woman gave birth to the Fox race that we knew today,"

"Exactly," Elvis nodded his head in agreement as he then added, "That\'s why although the Phoenix race could transform into a Phoenix, they\'re actually still not considered as an actual Phoenix. The same explanation also applies to the rest of the Beastman races,"

"But are there still Phoenix in the Celestial World?" Leo asked.

"Yes, but they are extremely difficult to find. Records say that they hide themselves in places where people couldn\'t reach," Elvis replied before suddenly adding, "In fact, your Emperor Yuta actually has a Phoenix as his own Beast Companion, though unfortunately that Phoenix has become a part of his harem as well..."

Elvis can\'t help shaking his head in pity for the Phoenix that became a Beast Companion of Emperor Yuta.

Phoenix is known to be a very noble and respected Magical Beasts. But with that Phoenix becoming a part of Emperor Yuta\'s harem, she\'s definitely no longer considered as noble and respected.

The very existence of Emperor Yuta himself alone is already something that can taint the most purest flower to ever exist in the Celestial World and turn them ugly.

Leo and the others also understood this point, so they also expressed their pity for that Phoenix.
