*Yawn!*

    Jay came out of the tent while stretching his hand. "It''s morning already? I feel like I have slept more than I should have."

    "Good morning." Kanaria greeted him, still staring at the canned food she was heating. "Wash your face over there and get ready. This will be a very long day."

    "Where is Clovis, by the way?" Jay asked.

    "Clovis is already scouting the area."

    "For real? Does he not know that he should get some more rest?" Jay shook his head.

    "You tell him. He is always the last one to stop training and the first one to do everything. I''m concerned about his well-being." Kanaria sighed.

    As if knowing when to eat, Clovis suddenly returned while saying, "Don''t worry. I know when to rest. If I''m sick, I will end up wasting too much time on recovering instead of training after all."

    Kanaria shook her head. "Is there only training in your mind? Come here and eat."

    "Thanks." Clovis grabbed the can before reporting. "By the way, I have found several nests. There should be at least fifty of them. Looking at the situation, it seems that most groups are still occupied with the weaker beasts."@@@@

    "In that case, we have to be fast and sweep this entire area."

    "Yeah."

    The group hurriedly ate before packing up their luggage.

    In just thirty minutes, they had completed their preparation and headed out.

    Unfortunately, there was no hill in this area, so Kanaria had to climb on top of a slightly higher tree. Meanwhile, Jay and Clovis approached the beasts carefully.

    Due to the nature of the elasmotherium, the territory was filled with grassland. Hence, Kanaria couldn''t be picky about the tree she climbed. At the same time, there was nothing that would block her vision from up there.

    The elasmotherium was gigantic. They came from the rhinoceros family. Their height reached up to four meters with a big hump on their back. There was a horn on its head, reaching up to two meters long. If one took the full brunt of this animal, it would feel like getting hit by a truck.

    However, it didn''t really matter for Jay and Clovis. They were confident in their attack power. Even if they looked tiny compared to this animal, they were more flexible than it.

    The nest Clovis found was actually a small puddle of water in this grassland. There were a total of seventeen elasmotheriums around the water, drinking.

    "How is it, Kanaria?" Clovis asked.

    "I could see them from here. But I feel like this tree would be crushed by one of them." Kanaria observed their movement with the binoculars.

    "We''ll kill them before reaching here. And in case they are coming, run away."

    "Are you going to use your pistol?" Kanaria thought that since they had the ammunition, they would definitely have an easier time if Clovis used the pistol.

    "Nah. The bullets are too precious. We''ll use it against the thylacines."

    "Got it. In that case, I will kill several of them on the side. You two can focus on the center."

    Even then, Clovis wasn''t scared. He took back the short sword before tossing it to another rhino, marking the start of their battle.

    A few rhinos attacked Clovis, but their size also became their biggest weakness. They tried to attack him with their horns, but they ended up hitting other horns on the way.

    Clovis took advantage of this situation and struck them one by one.

    On the other hand, Jay successfully caught up to them and slashed one of them from behind. He aimed at their feet, so they couldn''t move anymore. There was no way two feet were enough to support their weight.

    Kanaria also shot the enemies on the side, reducing their number.

    Still, there were simply too many beasts coming. Even with both of their efforts, two elasmotheriums still reached the tree.

    Unfortunately for them, Kanaria remained calm. Before those giant horns hit the tree, Kanaria jumped off the tree.

    The beasts were confused, but when they raised their heads, the only thing they could see was the barrel of her sniper rifle.

    *Bam!*

    One of them died after being shot at point blank range. The other tried to change its direction, but Jay had caught up and slashed it from behind.

    Kanaria pulled the bolt, taking out the used shell and filling the barrel with a new one. She shot the second beast, ultimately eliminating both of them herself.

    "Oh! Somehow, you''re scarier than the person you used to be." Jay smirked. He still remembered the time that Kanaria was chased by beasts. Back then, she needed help, but this time, even though she still needed his assistance, she still effectively eliminated the threats.

    Kanaria smiled. "Of course, I can''t lose to him, can''t I?"

    "We can''t lose to him." Jay turned around, looking at the injured beasts. He had to eliminate them and help Clovis.

    However, once again, Clovis surpassed their expectations. By the time they killed all the beasts on their side, there was only one beast remaining on Clovis''s side. And he actually killed them without the help of his gun.

    "What? How could he..." Kanaria gasped. She didn''t expect that Clovis was this strong.

    They thought they had witnessed everything Clovis could offer previously, but it turned out that he was much stronger than they thought.

    What they didn''t know was that Clovis simply became stronger at a rate they could never imagine. Last night, he actually bought another six items from the mall, allowing him to increase 24% of his evolution traits.

    Before they could even help him, Clovis killed the last one with a single swift strike to the head.

    "Oh! You guys are done?" Clovis didn''t know what they were thinking. All he knew was that the enemies had been eliminated.

    "..." Jay made a wry smile. He had to know Clovis''s limit first before attempting to surpass him. At the same time, he was actually happy that Clovis was this strong. This meant their rivalry would be legendary.

    On the other hand, Kanaria couldn''t help but wonder if this was actually something related to Hacfield. While her family had produced a lot of high ranking explorers, including her father and grandfather, they still couldn''t be compared to Clovis''s grandfather.

    ''It seems that I have to work even harder if I don''t want to be left behind.'' Kanaria sighed.

    They continued to hunt the elasmotheriums until their hunts were abruptly stopped by a scream.

    "HELP!"
