Hearing Brad's words, Ahmed can't help taking a step back.

Twilight Bears territory is a territory lead by a 5 Star Magical Beast. It is led by a Mother and Father Twilight Bear, specifically two 5 Star Magical Beast, and with hundreds of 4 Star Magical Beast Twilight Bears and 3 stars below living in the territory.

Even the weakest amongst all the Twilight Bears in that territory are 1 Star in level. So, In Ahmed's opinion, it isn't something that they themselves can easily handle, or maybe they really can't handle them.

Moreover, it is already a known fact that any Magical Beast Bears are super territorial. They even destroy branches or surrounds their territory with their paw prints in order to mark the territory for themselves and to also keep other Magical Beast away.

Therefore, if they really want to go to that place, then what they are doing is nothing but akin to suicide.

"We absolutely can't go to that place! It's so dangerous, even other Magical Beast living in Twilight Forest doesn't dare easily visit that territory, not to mention us!" Ahmed quickly persuaded them to not entertain such an idea. Aside from its stupid, it is also so reckless for them if they go there.

"Have you ever heard the saying that the most dangerous place can sometimes be the most safest?" Leo said with a mischievous smile on his face.

Seeing such a mischievous smile on Leo's face, Ahmed and Brad can't help gulping down a mouthful of saliva. They could already expect what Leo was really planning of doing, no need for him to speak any single word as his mischievous smile alone can speak volumes of his plans already.

"Why did I even say that?" Brad really regretted answering Leo's question. If only he knows that Leo would really decide to go to that place, then he wouldn't even think of answering and would just simply act ignorant.

Ahmed shots Brad a look of annoyance. They already understand a few of Leo's characteristics after spending a few hours with him, so Brad should have expected already that Leo would definitely choose the most reckless and dangerous path possible.

That guy had even keep luring on dozens of Stone Monkeys towards their direction just a moment ago in order to better train them for the coming of age competition, so choosing to go to Twilight Bear's territory to be safe from the Vampires is an expected decision already.

"No need to be scared, this can also be considered as a training for you, to be more specific, a test of courage!" Leo said as he began walking west. He murmured silently, "And likewise, it can also be considered as my training to better use Magic."

While training Ahmed and Brad on how to easily kill Magical Beast, he on the other hand had also been trying his best to train his usage of Magic. Always applying different Element Mana to his every attack, further strengthening his capability of using the Support Magic spells, and to also better manipulate Mana.

To be honest, Ahmed and Brad might not have noticed this, but the ground they were standing from the beginning was actually just an empty plot of land, no weeds could even be seen growing in this specific patch of land the moment they arrived here because no sunlight could ever reach it. However, looking at what was supposedly an empty patch of land from before, he could already see dozens of tiny sprouts growing out from the ground due to him repeatedly using the Green Terrain spell.

Ahmed and Brad would have surely thought in their minds that Leo was focusing on training them due to his ruthless method and constant focusing on them, but deep in Leo's mind, he was also training himself, though in his part it was only in the path of Magic.

.....

After a few hours of walking, Leo quickly signaled for Ahmed and Brad to hide as he detected in his perimeter a group of people running towards their direction.

"They should be Vampires, let's crush some plants and cover our clothes before they can smell our blood!" Leo quickly informed Ahmed and Brad.

Vampires were a blood-sucking race, and because of that, they can detect the people around them by smelling their blood. They can also detect their fellow race due to their Vampire race unique fragrance, just like what Cassandra had told him before.

However, there is actually a way to counter that; use leaves and crushes it to paste, the plant paste would then give off a herbal sort of smell, which would immediately hinder the smell of the Vampires. This was what he had learned from Cassandra before. She specifically said that one way to mask their smells from Vampires is by simply covering themselves with another kind of smell, much preferably the herbal smell since Vampires really hate such kind of smell due to the fact that they prefer meat and blood rather than anything plant related.

Hearing Leo's words, Ahmed and Brad didn't dare question the reason why as they quickly nodded their heads and began picking out a bunch of green leaves and crashing them to paste. Afterwards, they swiftly started covering their clothes, especially to the part of the clothes where the blood of the Magical Beast had splashed on. That part was obviously the most important since the Magical Beast blood wasn't inside their bodies, so the smell is a lot easier to detect.

"After finishing with that, be sure to hide somewhere inconspicuous, don't ever think that Vampires can't see in the dark. In their eyes, the night is almost similar to the brightness of the day!" Leo said as he quickly crawls on the ground and covered himself completely with leaves.

Levi also wanted to follow after, but Leo told him, "Just fly up in the air to hide. Train yourself for a bit, I'll whistle to call you when it's time for you to go back."

Hearing Leo's words, Levi nodded in understanding as he quickly flies up in the air. He naturally can't keep on following after Leo since his way of training was only suited for people, not for Magical Beast like him. So, he should train by himself right now instead of wasting his time sleeping and watching on Leo's shoulder.

*Whooosh! *Whooosh!

Ahmed and Brad also followed after. Ahmed hides behind a rock and covered himself completely with the vines and moss. While on the other hand, Brad climbed a tree and hide himself using the dense leaves in a specific stem.

Just like what Leo had expected, a group of Vampires, specifically 12 Vampires, arrived in their location.

The Vampires suddenly stopped as they sniff around. But, noticing that they were still only able to smell the fragrance of plants, which is reasonable because they are surrounded by greens, they then started walking away.

It was really almost a dead-end for Ahmed and Brad though since both of their hiding spots had a Vampire just standing right beside them, specifically the rock that Ahmed was hiding at had a Vampire standing on the top, while the stem that Brad had chosen also had a Vampire standing on nearby him. If only they didn't hide diligently and didn't have the herbal smell covering the fragrance of their blood, then they would have definitely been found out.

When the area was finally clear, Leo slowly stood up and went towards Ahmed first to inform him that it's already safe.

Leo really doesn't know whether he should laugh or not the moment he saw Ahmed's face, because the latter was actually closing his eyes. Did this guy perhaps think that as long as he doesn't see the Vampire, the Vampires would likewise not see him?

"Hey, it's already safe!" Leo said as he taps Ahmed's shoulder, causing him to open his eyes.

Ahmed heaved a sigh of relief and commented, "That was really close!"

"Of course you will. You basically hid just right beside a rock. If only you didn't have a herbal smell plus the moss and vines around you, then that Vampire would have definitely found you." Leo said, "By the way, where did Brad hide?"

"Look up!" Ahmed suddenly pointed up.

"That..." Leo voiced out in disbelief.

Looking up, Leo and Ahmed were immediately able to see Brad. As to why? Well, it was the only stem where it's leaves were noticeably shaking and also a very funny scene was currently taking place right this moment.

A somewhat yellow in the color liquid was constantly and curiously falling down from that specific stem, which obviously only meant one thing; Brad has wet his pants due to fear.

Leo and Ahmed almost can't help holding their laughter down while looking at Brad, who was shaking while climbing down the tree. Looking down at his pants, they immediately saw a clear wet patch.

"You actually wet your pants, hahahaha!" Ahmed added salt to the wounds.

Leo suddenly stopped laughing as he shook his head in disappointment. Brad was living in a Danger zone, yet he actually still wet his pants? Just how cowardly was this guy? Or maybe it is because he hasn't really experienced a lot of hunting before.

Likewise, he also felt disappointed about Ahmed. This guy acts so wise sometimes, but also so stupid at times. Back then, he had thought of resting despite in the middle of a fight, almost causing him to be ambushed by a Stone Monkey hiding behind him. And just now, he had actually closed his eyes while hiding. It was already a known fact about hunters that they should not close their eyes while hiding. How the heck would they even know the movements of people or Magical Beast around them if they can't see them, right? Listen through their ears? That might sound like a wise thing to do, but basing on Ahmed and Brad's capability, they are still far-cry from achieving such skill, so they shouldn't try to do such a stupid action themselves yet, especially in such a dangerous situation.

"Let's go!" Leo soon after motioned them to follow after. It was now time for them to continue their trip towards the Twilight Bear's territory. Wasting any more time in here would just make the situation a lot more dangerous for them. After all, it's not only the Vampires they should be considered as dangerous for them but also the Magical Beast who are living in Twilight Forest.
