CHAPTER 867: ENTERING THE FOREST

"Mhmmm! We are finally here." Melody stretched her body after exiting the bus.

"Well, the dense forest makes it impossible for the bus to enter, so we have no choice but to go on foot." Christina nodded. "Get ready. Bring everything. We will enter right away and take down the beast tomorrow."

The ones who were the most tired were Reolf and Rea. Due to their size, they had a hard time inside the bus, leaving only a small space for their bodies to move.

Now that they had come out, Rea instantly spread her wings as wide as possible while Reolf shook his body a few times.

"Welcome! I’ve been waiting for you guys." Vina waved her hand while approaching them. This was the camp of the Hatson family, so there were a lot of people here.

They couldn’t help but become curious about the Libation Fiesta, especially Clovis’ beasts.

Meanwhile, Clovis took advantage of the opportunity to have a quick discussion with Vina.

"You just have to drive the bus here and be done with it. We’ll come out tomorrow and maybe have lunch before heading to the nuclear zone."

"In that case, I will remain here for a bit and head there tomorrow."

"That works for me. We will return within seven days. As for the payment..."

"Ssshhh!" Vina stopped him. "I’ve already got my payment. Besides, I still owe you for mentoring me during the battle of succession, as well as turning Stefany into my underling."

Clovis nodded. "All right. If you need anything else, just contact me."

"Yep. Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, I’m confident enough to hide your tracks. It’s just seven days, not six months." Vina chuckled.

"Fair enough."

"By the way, if you don’t have anything to do, there is something I want you to do as soon as you enter the forest."

"What is that? Beast soul? I have agreed to trade the beast soul to the Hatson family."

"No. I don’t covet even your beast essence. I’m telling you that not far from here, there is a Tier 7 beast. It will be troublesome if that beast comes here. While there are 3 Tier 7 humans here, I don’t trust them more than I trust the Libation Fiesta. Can you take care of it first before heading to your target?"

"That shouldn’t be a problem." Clovis nodded. "It will be a good chance to check the twins’ strength."

"That’s good then." Vina waved her hand with a smile. "In that case, I will greet the others first."

Clovis watched Vina walking away before turning back to the forest. As the information said, the trees were extremely thick. Each tree was around 15 meters tall or above. The leaves covered the surface, so the forest itself was not as bright as he liked.

The ground was also slightly wet, which made it hard to move around. Fighting in this place would definitely be hard.

The preparation itself didn’t take over thirty minutes. Tianna and Tienna were the ones who handled the discussion with the one in charge at this camp.

Once they were done, Clovis immediately led the team into the forest. Rea took off into the air. With her identity as a beast, it wouldn’t be weird to see a bird flying around a danger zone.

Fortunately, they had checked there was no one around this forest aside from them, so there shouldn’t be anyone mistaking her.

Although Rea’s effectiveness decreased because of the lack of visibility and the space, she could still assist them. It was fortunate that the beast Clovis tamed understood what the humans said.

"So, Clovis. Did you say you want to kill a Tier 7 beast near here first? Is there one?" Christina asked.

"I don’t think Vina will be lying." Clovis nodded before turning to the twins. "I want the two of you to defeat the Tier 7 beast. We will handle the rest of the beasts. Can you do it?"

Tianna and Tienna nodded.

Suddenly, Aileen appeared in front of them. "I have found the target."

"!!!" Tianna and Tienna were startled because this was the first time Aileen had erased her presence. They realized that if they lowered their guards, they might not be able to sense Aileen at all.

"There was indeed a Tier 7 beast. It looked like a pig."

"How about lower-level beasts?"

"I saw two Tier 6 beasts, the rest were just lower than that. There should be about 80 beasts in total, with the lowest one being a Tier 3 beast."

"Okay." Clovis nodded. "Let’s pick up our pace then."

They agreed. It only took them two minutes before they found the beasts.

The pig was not as huge as he imagined, but the muscles in its body were even thicker than the thickest bull he had seen. It had two big upper fangs that could help it tear apart its target.

"Erwin, Aileen. Take care of the first Tier 6 beast. Jay and I will get one respectively. The rest will block the remaining beasts."

Since they had to be quick on this mission, Clovis chose to get involved right away instead of taking his time observing the battle.

The team moved to their own positions. Rin, who joined the latest, actually got an outer beast soul, a pair of a dragonfly’s wings, which would boost her mobility like Kanaria.

Both of them could simply fly around and shoot any enemy they wanted in this place.

"You may start at your discretion," said Clovis to the twins.

Tianna and Tienna exchanged looks. Tianna and Tienna seemed to be wearing blades, similar to Jay’s weapon. Tianna was holding it in her right hand, while Tienna wielded it in the other hand.

Still, both of them had a pseudo unique ability. Facing a beast that was still under the influence of the tower together with each of them having a pseudo unique ability should result in an easy battle.

Clovis wanted to know whether they were capable of handling this beast on their own.

Tianna and Tienna ultimately exchanged nods before they charged forward.

*Roar!*
