Another World Mall-Chapter 596: Hidden Threat

"We are about to arrive at where Jay and the others are supposed to fight their enemies," reported Melody while maintaining a close look at the radar.

"How many beasts are there?" Clovis squinted his eyes, scanning the area filled with beasts.

"About 400 beasts. However, there is a place with a higher number of beasts. It seems to be where the Tier 6 beast is located."

Clovis looked around from the top of a tree, wondering if there was something they needed to do.

"Should we help them? Although Jay is able to do it, this number is a bit too much, considering they’re not fighting to the best of their abilities." Melody frowned.

Clovis thought for a moment and nodded. "Yeah. It’s a bit too hard for a small group. If we are able to use everything we have, we wouldn’t have to worry, but Erwin, who is supposed to be the main attacker, can’t function properly.

"In this case, we should take at least a hundred beasts from here. This should be enough, considering Evelyn and Gillian are Tier 5."

Christina nodded. "In that case, I will use my Provoke to bring them away. We’ll kill them and move to our own target."

"Yep."

"In that case, let’s go around and pick the beasts in this spot." Melody showed a plan on the map, allowing everyone to see it.

They exchanged nods and immediately went around the area. Since the beast’s territory was quite big, it took them some time to reach their target.

Melody changed their route. "Alright. We’ll grab the beasts here and head north. It shouldn’t be too far because the beasts in the north might come. And they’re our targets, so the Tier 6 beast might notice us. It won’t be funny if we get targeted by two Tier 6 beasts."

Christina approached the beasts as close as possible before activating her unique ability. She targeted the beasts in front of her, but all of a sudden, she paused.

Clovis and the others tilted their heads in confusion. Normally, the beasts would have come by now, but for some reason, Christina had yet to activate her unique ability.

"What’s wrong?" Melody’s voice echoed through the earphone.

Instead of answering her, Christina quietly returned to them while saying, "We’ve got a problem."

Clovis frowned. "You can’t activate your unique ability?"

"No." Christina shook her head. "When I activated my unique ability, I could somehow target things underground."

"There are some beasts underground? Considering the scale of this territory, is there another Tier 6 beast hiding?"

"Like the one on the previous expedition?"

"Yeah."

Christina shook her head for the second time. "I could target at least a hundred of them. And that was only for the beasts near me."

"!!!" Clovis and the others widened their eyes in shock. "What did you say?"

"You didn’t hear it incorrectly. There might be another nest underneath the ground. And the size might not be smaller than the one on the surface."

Clovis’ expression darkened. "You’re not joking, right?"

"Do you think I will joke about something like this?" Christina sighed. "This place is actually much more dangerous than we originally thought. We should warn Jay and the others and stop the mission."

"Do you think it’s possible to convince that Gillian?" If that was an easy task, he wouldn’t feel this troubled. After all, it would be weird if Jay and the others found out about this nest all of a sudden. And if they stopped Jay, Gillian would most likely continue, no matter the risk.

They couldn’t care less about Gillian’s fate, but Aileen had no other choice but to follow him.

Clovis took a deep breath. On the one hand, he didn’t have time to find the location of the entrance. On the other hand, even if he found it, he might not be able to attack it right away. After all, the beasts on the surface would be aware of what was happening underground as well. If they reinforced them, the situation would go awry for both Clovis and Jay.

Hence, there was only one solution. "Christina. I will have to ask you to use your unique ability by yourself. Drag all the beasts in the surrounding area and force Jay and the others to fight them.

"Keep doing it until you buy us enough time to determine the entrance. In fact, it will be better if you can make them too tired to face these beasts and choose to rest for a few hours.

"In the meantime, we’ll be searching for the entrance."

"Are you going to enter the nest? Without me?" Christina crossed her arms.

"We’ll attack them together, of course, but Jay’s group will be included in that plan."

"So, we’ll attack the beasts underground while Jay’s group takes care of the ones on the surface?"

"Yeah." Clovis turned to Melody. "Tell Jay about the situation. Even if he has to act, make sure to delay it as long as possible.

"Explain that we will have to attack together, so we need him to be our eyes and clock. In addition, during the battle, there’s a high chance that the beasts from the north, especially the Tier 6 beast, will notice the commotion. As a result, they might have to fight two Tier 6 beasts by themselves."

Melody nodded while Luci couldn’t help but say, "Knowing Jay’s personality, won’t it mean Jay will unleash everything he has from the beginning to kill as many beasts as possible?"

"Yeah. On the other hand, we don’t know the scale of this underground nest." Clovis contemplated. "We don’t have night vision, huh?"

Melody took out a few scopes and said, "Use these. Not as reliable and comfortable, but it should allow you to see in the dark. My senses are sharp, so I don’t have this trouble."

"How come you even prepared for this thing?" Clovis couldn’t help but glance at the small bag that Melody always carried on her waist with her.

"We don’t have time, so make do with it." Melody shrugged and started explaining to Jay about the situation while Christina headed east.
