Leo, who quickly realized their current predicament, did not waste any time to inform Elmont and Osborne, "Forget about climbing trees! Swiftly run to the center of the map!" 

After saying that, he immediately bolted straight towards the direction of the center of the map. He didn\'t bother looking behind him as he was certain enough already that Elmont and Osborne would do as he had just said. 

As expected, after hearing the quick notice from Leo, Elmont and Osborne swiftly followed after him.

While running away, Elmont can\'t help but ask, "Why are we going to the center of the map?" 

"Yeah, I am also wondering the same question," Osborne also expresses his curiosity. 

"Have you really forgotten?" Leo furrowed his brows together. 

"Forgotten about what?" Elmont really wondered what he had forgotten. Not only him, but also Osborne is feeling the same, as he is now scratching his head, totally out of clue of what exactly Leo meant with his words. 

Shaking his head in disappointment, Leo then explained, "Think about it; in the two previous obstacles, the hosts had first reduced the size of the map before announcing what kind of obstacle we were going to face. At this time, however, Princess Tifa and Princess Tila have actually done the complete opposite of that. Not only that, they haven\'t even announced yet just how much they will reduce the size of the map,"

"Are you perhaps saying that they are planning some kind of scheme through reducing the size of the map?" Elmont guessed. 

"I don\'t know why, but as soon as you have mentioned that, something is now strangely telling me that is exactly what is going to be the case right this moment," Osborne said.

"Most likely," Leo replied. 

"What the heck, brother Loki, stop raising flags!" Elmont exclaimed, a bit irritated at Leo since he is assuming things that even he himself isn\'t sure about yet. By doing this, he is unnecessarily causing them to go into a panic. 

Hearing Elmont\'s words, Leo simply rolled his eyes and explained, "Presuming that all the remaining twenty-three players are spread across the map. In that case, the third obstacle will only serve little to no purpose at all, as long as all the players stay away from any locations where Vine-arm Chimpanzees are found,"

"Although it is also possible for the Vine-arm Chimpanzees to roam around the map, this still doesn\'t surely guarantee that they will really be able to find any players and eliminate them. So in order to fix this problem, I am guessing that Princess Tifa and Princess Tila would reduce the map enough to force all the Vine-arm Chimpanzees to hunt for all the players,"

"Considering that there are Vine-arm Chimpanzees practically all over the map right this moment, thus the best way to make them hunt for all the players is to force them to go to the center of the map,"

"Eh?! Since all of the Vine-arm Chimpanzees would be going to the center of the map, so wouldn\'t it be much safer for us if we don\'t go over there anymore?" Elmont expresses his doubt.

"No," This time, it was Osborne that responded as he finally understood Leo. 

"No? Why?" Elmont turned to look at Osborne. 

"Because there is no doubt that they will do an all-out clean sweep in every place they passed by while moving to the center of the map," Osborne explained. 

"Exactly!" Leo nodded his head. He then continued, "The first thing that Magical Beasts would do when trying to escape from something is to look for a safe place to hide instead of running away aimlessly. After all, if they continue to run away, they will just end up exhausting all of their energy and stamina. Eventually, they will end up getting tired. And once they are tired, it would then become even more dangerous for them, and their chances of survival would become even lower than what it already is. With that being said, no matter where we hide, they will definitely be able to find us,"

"So we are going to the center of the map because that is going to be the last place that they will look, right?" Elmont added, evidently understanding already what Leo wanted to say.

"Precisely!" Leo snapped his finger in confirmation. 

Instantly, Elmont and Osborne\'s faces turned ugly. That means to say that if they can\'t arrive in the center of the map soon, then there would be a very high chance for them to get eliminated.

"How troublesome," Leo heaved a sigh of helplessness. When they finally reached the northwest and thought they could begin with their plan, they were immediately forced to move towards another location. What\'s even worst is, this location wasn\'t the least bit close to them right now. 

In addition to that, with the huge pile of snow stacking on the ground, it would surely take them a long time before they could finally reach the center of the map. 

While moving, Leo suddenly thought of something in his mind, "Hold on..."

Leo paused in his footsteps as he started observing the seemingly endless scenery of snow right in front of him. 

Seeing Leo stopped moving, Elmont and Osborne also halted. They followed where Leo was looking at and discovered that he was merely looking towards the snow on the ground. 

"Is there some kind of problem with the snow, brother Loki?" Elmont curiously asked. 

"Well, I don\'t see any hidden trap in front of us," Osborne assumed. 

"Me neither," Elmont also didn\'t see any traps. 

At that moment, Leo muttered, "Snow... Snow! That\'s it!"

"What do you mean that\'s it?" Osborne raised his eyebrows while looking at Leo. 

"That\'s it? As in there\'s a trap somewhere? But where?" Osborne began turning his head around their surroundings, trying to look for where exactly the traps could be hidden. 

"No," Leo hastily shook his head. He then explained, "What I mean is, with a huge pile of snow plus a moving barrier, it would cause a..."
