Melody frowned. "This is not good."
She was staring at the valley from above the cliff. It took her more than three hours just to climb it, but getting a close look at the terrain was extremely valuable.
She turned left and right to check the rest of the areas before returning to Clovis.
While projecting the picture of the valley from above, Melody said, "The situation might not be in our favor. If you take a look at the distance between the tree and the buildings, we can safely assume that the flying beasts will notice us the moment we are fighting inside the building.
"And because of the open area, the beasts will have a wide range of vision. Approaching this area alone can garner some attention. Depending on the beasts’ behaviors, there’s a chance that all those beasts will come at us.
"According to the radar, there are close to one thousand beasts residing in this valley. It’s more than what she told us.
"As for the locket, I have bad news and good news. The good news is that the locket is there. Bad news: it’s hung not far from the Tier 4 flying beast. As for the second Tier 4 flying beast, I’ve been trying to search for it but can’t find any nest that indicates such a beast. What do you think? We should regroup with the rest and solve it as a group."
Clovis fell into deep thought. He kept glancing at the map from time to time as if considering his plans.
Usually, Clovis would explain his plan after a few minutes, but to her surprise, even after thirty minutes, Clovis hadn’t said a single thing.
As she expected, this was an impossible mission. No matter how hard they thought about it, there was no plan that allowed them to complete this job with only the two of them.
However, after a total of one hour, Clovis suddenly opened his mouth. "It’s possible."
"!!!" Melody didn’t look happy when he said it, thinking that it was just a desperate plan. She tried to complain. "Clovis…"
"I’m still calm." Clovis shook his head. He pointed at the north side of the map. "The northern area is higher, which is something we can take advantage of."
"But the high ground this time is not the same as the one in the mall’s underground floor."
"Yeah, but we have something much more important than the high ground." Clovis raised his head. His gaze was glued to the cliff.
"The cliff? Wait. Are you insane?" Melody’s face turned pale.
"No. This is a feasible plan. By using it, we might be able to crush one or two Tier 4 beasts. The problem is whether you are willing to do it or not."
"What? You’re going to be in danger."
"My vision slows down, so I can react to them. Once I give a signal, I’m also planning to move away as far as possible. And by using this plan, we can crush a lot of beasts at once. After that, I can move to the building.
"Even if the flying beasts are coming at me, they will have to think twice since they might have to destroy the building just to get me. Using it to my advantage, I’ll crush the remaining Tier 4 beasts.
"Once we regroup, we’ll take down the two flying beasts. This is going to be more exhausting than the underground mall, but this time, we’ll have the initiative." Noel explained his plan.
Melody was biting her lips. Although she didn’t say it, she realized that it was indeed feasible if they followed Clovis’ plan. But it would endanger him.
"I know that you’re worried about me, but don’t forget who my grandfather is." Clovis smiled to assure her.
Melody’s body shook. That was right. Clovis’ grandfather was the man the world claimed to be a madman. Even if Clovis was logical, he was still that person’s grandson.
"You better be fine!" Melody gritted her teeth.
"Thank you for your trust."
Clovis then explained his plan in detail. The execution itself wouldn’t take too long. However, the preparation would take more than four days.
Clovis chopped down the trees not far from the cliff. He then brought them to the top of the cliff with Melody’s help.
Moving up and down the cliff took the majority of their time, but after four days, they managed to make a simple contraption.
Once they were done, Clovis immediately entered the valley. There was one reason why he was so confident. It was the food from Another World Mall.
Name: Vampiric Ramen.
Effect: Blood Flow +30% for 30 minutes.

Name: Crispy Crocoduck.
Effect: Strength +30% for 30 minutes.
Name: Werewolf Stew.
Effect: Animal instinct for 30 minutes.
This time, Clovis didn’t just use the bite-size food but also the real food from the restaurant. He couldn’t do this with his friends, but he could improve his strength tremendously by using all this food. Of course, he also prepared bite-size food, but he would use it later since their effect was lower and the duration was shorter.
Even though he didn’t rely on the perfect state, he ended up relying on Another World Mall.
Clovis casually ate everything at the valley’s entrance, where Melody couldn’t see him.
As soon as he felt all the effect, Clovis stood up and started heading toward the tree.
The valley was filled with tall green grass as well as trees on the bottom of the cliff. Clovis positioned himself next to the cliff due to their plan.
As Melody reported, most beasts were actually near the tree, so Clovis had an easy time approaching it.
"I’m already 80 meters away from the vicinity."
"Sneak inside into the buildings and locate at least two Tier 4 beasts. I’ll guide you."
"Thank you." Clovis took a deep breath. Even though he had some confidence, he felt a bit nervous since one mistake might cost him his life. "Clovis, going in."
