After moving closer to the Lizard, Leo then went to check the toughness of its skin. After realizing that it was unexpectedly strong and hard, he quickly ordered the Earth Elemental to cut it into multiple pieces.
Leo plans to bring the Lizard along so that he can make armor or even clothes made out of its skin. He was sure that ordinary steel arrows or swords won't be able to cause him any damages anymore if he could wear such armor.
After finally cutting the Lizard into pieces, Leo finally shockingly discovered that the Magical Beast was actually a 1 Star Magical Beast. He was staring at its Magical storage, otherwise know as Mana stone, in excitement.
Leo really wanted to jump around in joy. But he quickly composed himself. The moment he saw that the Lizard was seriously injured, something much more powerful had surely caused it. He still didn't see such Magical Beast capable of injuring the Lizard anywhere yet, hence he needed to always stay vigilant.
After Leo put cut Lizard's body inside a net bag, he then put it in a safe place at the side. He wasn't still done with his adventure within the cave.
There was actually still another hole leading to a much deeper part of the cave.
Moving along, Leo found nothing in his path. But, he didn't mind it though since a 1 Star Lizard lives in this place, so all the Mana stones around should have long been used by it. Considering that it was seriously injured too, hence the more likely it would have used all the Mana stones around.
As Leo continues to walk deeper, he unexpectedly found something interesting.
It was at the end of the cave.
As Leo looked up above, he soon after astonishingly discovered a dozen pieces of large Mana stones embedded into the wall. The Mana stones weren't only large in size, it was also dark blue in color too, which simply meant that it has a lot of Mana inside.
Moreover, the large Mana stones were actually already refined.
Leo was curious as to how and why, but since it wasn't important to know about it, he just shook it off his mind. The most important thing was that the 12 large Mana stones were now his for the taken.
"Now the problem is how would I bring the 12 large Mana stones with me without getting notice by anyone."
Removing the 12 large Mana stones was easy, really, since he could simply just use his Earth Elemental. But bringing the Mana stones outside without getting noticed by those people working at West Sewer Management was the real problem.
Just a while ago, when Leo was walking deeper in the west sewer to begin his mission, there were already a lot of workers that he had met along the way. It was the only problem if he wants to bring the 12 large Mana stones outside.
Thinking deeply, Leo still doesn't have any idea. He could only order the Earth Elemental to remove the 12 large Mana stone from the wall at this moment.
After removing the 12 large Mana stones, Leo could then see clearly that the 12 large Mana stones were actually as big as fifteen inches in diameter. It was the first time for him to see such large Mana stones.
"This large Mana stones is really marvelous!"
After a few seconds of marveling at the 12 large Mana stones, Leo suddenly thought that he was actually able to put 2 of the 12 pieces of large Mana stones in his bag. But the remaining 10 would still be a problem since he doesn't have any bag to put it in aside from the net bags.
Also, Leo doesn't want to just leave the 10 pieces of large Mana stones here either and just come back later on, since the Magical Beast Lizard, that once guarded this part of the cave, was already dead.
Sooner or later, those other Magical Beast around the entrance of the cave would come. And the moment they see the 10 large Mana stones lying around. They would surely use it for themselves.
Leo might even unexpectedly caused the birth of a powerful Magical Beast due to just leaving all these large Mana stones behind.
"Net bags..." Finally, Leo was able to think of an idea.
Getting some net bags, Leo immediately put all the large Mana stones inside. Afterwards, he made the Earth Elemental carry it.
After thinking for a bit, Leo was finally able to think of an idea, and that idea was simply to cover the 12 large Mana stones inside with beast bodies.
Brian had said that the West Sewer Management would only check the heads of the Magical Beast, not keep the heads. Moreover, he had only said too that he would check the heads and not the bodies.
In other words, Leo could do whatever he wants with the Magical Beast bodies. Though it would be a bit heavy, it wasn't a problem since he was carrying a treasure with him.
Who on earth would even mind carrying a heavy bag, knowing that gold bars were inside? Even the laziest person on this planet would not mind doing such a thing, so why would Leo mind it.
After reaching the place where he had put the Magical Beast Lizard's body, Leo then took out the net bags he had bought as he made some space inside by removing some Lizard's parts. Afterwards, realizing that space was enough, he carefully put the large Mana stones inside, perfectly hiding the Mana stones.
Leo continued to repeat the same action until all the 12 large Mana stones were finally perfectly and carefully hidden inside the net bags, specifically 6 net bags.
Also, Leo had decided not to put the 2 Mana stones which he had planned to put in his bag since there were actually those tiny size Mana stones inside. He almost forgot about such a thing since he was just so excited the moment he found the 12 large Mana stones.
After finishing all his actions, Leo finally decided to return. Along the way, he naturally went to look for the other net bags so that he could bring them with him. It was a waste to just leave them behind, after all. Though some of the net bags were already empty, the moment he found them, surely some Magical Beast had found it and had eaten the bodies inside. It wasn't a pity though, since he already has a lot of treasures with him. Losing some wasn't a problem. No need to be greedy.
Arriving at the entrance of the cave, Leo finally realized another big problem. He finally remembered that the hole was actually so small to actually fit all the treasures that he had bought.
"Dammit! What a troublesome thing!"
Looking at the hole, Leo thought of doing something really crazy. He ordered his Earth Elemental to smash the hole in order to enlarge it to fit his treasures.
To be honest, Leo wasn't worried that the cave would just collapse after the Earth Elemental smashes it. In fact, he was even hoping that it would collapse so that the weak part of the cave wall would be separated from the strong part.
Anyways, Leo had his Earth Elemental with him. So, the moment the cave collapses, he would still be able to get out by making the Earth Elemental dig another hole.
Thankfully, though, the wall didn't collapse like what Leo had expected. The wall was unexpectedly tougher than he had imagined.
Arriving at the Sewer Rat's nest, Leo can't help becoming really excited as he looked at all the treasure he had found.
"All this thing is mine! Hahaha!"
The West Sewer Management was only going to check how many heads Leo had killed and give him the corresponding points he had earned afterwards. After that, he will keep everything.
Moreover, Leo had already estimated that he would highly likely be able to earn around 1,000 points with all the Magical Beast he had hunted.
Without Leo knowing, he had actually killed over a hundred of Magical Beast. Though the majority were weak Magical Beast. But still, it was considered a Magical Beast.
Also, Leo might even earn more points if he showed Brian the head of the Magical Beast Lizard, a 1 Star Magical Beast.
Leo can't help feeling ecstatic about his current situation.
