Clink!

Clink!

Clink!

Aileen parried the tongue of a beast in rapid succession, only to have her get pushed back every time. "Kh."

Bam!

Christina came to her, blocking a stomp from this huge beast. Christina smiled, "So, we're the ones getting the jackpot."

"As expected, we'll be the ones taking it down." Erwin nodded.

"Sure."

Melody nodded. "Clovis. We've found the Tier 6 beast. Everything is under control right now, so please proceed according to plan."

Clovis was supposed to acknowledge the information, but for some reason, there was no response from him.

Instead, the reply came from Kanaria.

"This is Kanaria. You are not the only one getting the jackpot today. Our group has also found the Tier 6 beast."

"There are two?" Melody was stunned. She hurriedly checked the camera, finding the same beast standing in front of Clovis and Jay. "This is…"

"We'll take care of this, so you take care of that side as well."

Melody couldn't help but gulp down. The fact that there were two Tier 6 beasts in here meant this place was much more dangerous than they originally thought. The people claimed there were only three Tier 6 beasts here, but it didn't seem to be the case. There might be even more Tier 6 beasts hiding in this sewer.

More importantly, the species before her might have used this place to multiply. "This might be a nest for…"

…

A moment ago.

"Let's go!"

All of them jumped into the hole and gradually lowered their descent speed by tightening the grip on their respective ropes.

Clovis was the first one to reach the bottom. He immediately scanned the area, finding a lizard already crawling before him and was about to hit him.

Without hesitation, Clovis struck the lizard's head while scanning the area, ensuring the others' safety.

Only Kanaria and Melody didn't need a rope, since they descended smoothly with their butterfly wings.

Ragna and Christina immediately took their posts to block any unexpected attack. With the night vision, they had no problem in this darkness.

Clovis pointed at one tunnel, while Christina took the other one. They both immediately went separate ways, not needing any explanation.

Melody fully focused on the route, making sure they didn't get lost.

Although this was their first time fighting inside the storm sewer, the beasts hiding inside weren't that much different from the beasts usually staying in the wet area.

They had no problem advancing through the tunnel. However, even though the groups fit inside these tunnels, it wasn't big enough for all of them to go all out.

Even with Ragna and Jay in the front, Clovis couldn't join them or they would crash into each other.

In the end, they created a rotation system so that they were able to conserve their stamina.

Still, the tunnel was 'busier' than they expected. There were actually a lot more beasts hiding inside this place compared to a huge building like the Essence Bank.

According to Melody, this place would usually be submerged whenever the rainy season arrived. However, since it was still summer, the water level was even lower than their ankles, which was suitable for those who loved wet areas.

With so many beasts going around, they kept changing their positions to conserve as much energy as possible. After all, the more beasts resided in one location, the higher the chance they would find a Tier 6 beast. Hence, Clovis specifically wanted the four people who would beat the Tier 6 beast to rest as much as possible.

Christina did the same thing as Clovis.

Still, the sewer system was extremely complicated. They had to check every nook and corner, making sure there wasn't a single beast left in this area.

But it didn't seem they had to wait that long.

"Erwin. Watch out!" Christina shouted while putting her shield in front, blocking an extremely tough tongue. The tongue was long, and the force contained in it felt like she was being hit by a car.

"Tsk." Erwin clicked his tongue and released his wires while Aileen moved forward, forcing the beast to hit her instead.

"This is…" Melody frowned. "Isn't this Eryops? It's an ancient amphibian that once lived 295 million years ago. It looked like a bulky mix between a salamander and a crocodile.

"From what I can see, the length alone is about four meters, and it's estimated to weigh around 200 kg. It has strong limbs, tough skin, a big skull, and big jaws. While it's slow, it's extremely powerful.

"Watch out!"

"Oh!" Christina nodded and rushed forward.

The eryops would definitely try to stop her, but Christina actually didn't bother to protect herself here. Instead, she looped around the eryops because her role wasn't to kill him but to stop any other beasts from helping him.

When the eryops were about to hit Christina, Aileen appeared in the opposite direction and struck the beast's neck, barely injuring it.

"!!!" The eryops noticed her, but it didn't seem too wary of her. He continued to focus on Christina until Erwin suddenly came and punched him in the face, knocking his head the other way around.

"Your opponent is me," Erwin harrumphed.

"It's us!" Aileen harrumphed and struck the eye with her short sword.

"Seeee!" The eryops screamed in pain and started shaking its body to push them away.

…

Just like Christina, the first thing Clovis did the moment he found this beast simply passed him.

The beast wanted to stop him, but Jay struck its blade and cut through the neck. It wasn't deep enough to become fatal, but it was much deeper than Aileen's strike.

In addition, Kanaria shot the eryops in the jaw, knocking its head to the side. The bullet pierced through the jaw, forcing the eryops to focus on these two.

Meanwhile, the rest of the team positioned themselves accordingly, ensuring that those four could fight without any interference.

Jay took a deep breath, staring at the eryops. This was the battle he had been waiting for. After defeating a Tier 5 human from Team Melesviet, he wondered how much he had improved.
