The moment Rio absorbed enough cores to reach the Red stage, the remaining cores scattered on the ground vanished. Eve had taken them without asking since Rio didn't need them anymore.

Soon, his body became enveloped in a vibrant red glow, announcing that he was a red stage warrior now.

The surge of mana coursing through him was immense, far surpassing anything he had experienced before. Yet, there was no time to check his updated profile or celebrate his increased strength, as an ominous presence loomed behind him.

Reacting on instinct, Rio vanished from his original position and reappeared twenty meters away, from where he caught sight of a huge creature descending upon the spot he had just left.

The beast, a massive Crowned Flyer, was much larger than the smaller creatures he had just killed, measuring five meters in length. Its powerful wings beat the air with a thunderous force, while its razor-sharp claws slashed through the space where Rio had stood mere moments ago.

The colossal creature's menacing aura was enough to frighten anyone, but he managed to keep his calm.

Surprisingly, the Giant Crowned Flyer didn't charge toward the boy. Instead, it continued its flight eastward, following the same path taken by the smaller beasts earlier.

Rio hesitated, considering whether to chase it but ultimately decided against engaging in an unnecessary conflict.

As he stood there, the ground began to tremble, as though an earthquake was rumbling beneath his feet, rumble rumble.

Moments later, a majestic silver lion emerged, roaring, moving in the same direction as the other creature.

Rio's curiosity was piqued, but he remained cautious, watching the procession of beasts from a safe distance.

A few seconds later, an unusual sight caught his attention—a tiny, golden-colored squirrel, barely 10 centimeters in length, scurried past him, following the trail of the silver lion and the Crowned Flyer. Its glistening fur shimmered as it darted along the ground, adding another layer of mystery to the parade of creatures that had captured the boy's interest.

As all the different creatures headed together towards the same location, Rio became more and more curious, wondering what could be there. But before he could think about it further, a bright light suddenly flashed in front of him, briefly blinding his sight.

When his vision cleared, he saw the egg from his mind sea materializing in mid-air, hovering weightlessly.

As the egg hovered in mid-air, it began to absorb the blood and remains of the defeated creatures. It appeared to have a magnetic pull, as the blood on the ground was drawn upward and absorbed into the egg's growing form.

With each drop taken in, the egg increased in size, becoming an imposing presence. Rio watched with a mix of amazement and confusion as the mysterious egg continued to expand, fueled by the remnants of the fallen beasts.

As it reached a size of three meters, the egg returned to Rio's mind sea. He couldn't help but feel that it was on the verge of hatching soon. But there was still some time before that happened.

However, the ground started to tremble once more, causing Rio to swiftly vanish from his spot again to avoid the sudden danger. He watched as a procession of creatures continued to move in the same direction, their numbers increasing with each passing moment.

Eve's lively voice echoed in his mind, "It seems there's a treasure being born nearby, attracting all these high-level creatures."

Rio, with his calm tone, asked, "High-level creatures in this place? I thought this was a black-stage hunting ground. Why would they come here?"

The elven beauty explained, "They've sensed the aura of a miraculous treasure's birth. That lion you saw earlier was a silver-stage beast, and the squirrel was a golden-stage beast. I think we should follow them, partner. It's unlikely they'll attack each other until the treasure's birth is complete. We might be lucky enough to snatch it right under their noses."

As she suggested this, it was clear that Eve believed seizing the treasure could greatly benefit them both.

Rio thought about what she said, interested in the chance they had, but he also stayed alert because of the strong creatures near them.

After He weighed the options before him carefully, he ultimately decided to follow the parade of creatures, trusting that Eve wouldn't lead him into danger.

As he moved in the same direction as the other beasts, he was amazed at the growing variety of creatures that joined the beasts' march. Each one seemed more extraordinary than the last.

A magnificent silver peacock strutted past, its iridescent feathers shimmering with each graceful step.

Close behind was a golden frog, its luminescent skin proof of its power. Further ahead, an elephant with a unique blend of gold and silver hues across its body lumbered forward.
