A series of explosions occurred as Melody threw the grenades as fast as possible, managing to reach the beasts before exploding.
Several beasts were blasted by the explosions and died. The ones that were safe stepped forth and led the higher tier beasts behind them.
However, there was one thing that caught Clovis's attention. It was what happened to the beasts after the explosion. Although it was only for a moment, he knew that if he wanted to escape, it would be through the west.
Clovis took a deep breath and said, "Kanaria, Melody, go near the water, make sure you're the furthest from the beasts. Ragna, I want you to protect them because their position would be vulnerable. Jay, on my signal, I want you to break through to the west. I will be covering our rear."
Kanaria and Melody didn't understand what Clovis was planning to do, but it seemed that he had a plan. It wasn't like they had time to discuss their plan as the beasts were approaching.
Ragna hurriedly positioned himself in front of Kanaria and Melody, ready to receive the attacks from all directions.
Jay didn't understand what Clovis wanted, but it was clear that he and Clovis had the most dangerous roles. He steeled his resolve so that he could properly lead the group to safety.
"Melody. Do you bring a flashbang?"
"Yeah." Melody hurriedly took out the flashbang and threw it at him. "Here you go."
After catching the flashbang, Clovis took a deep breath and checked his surroundings.
The beasts kept coming closer and closer. Clovis's expression turned darker as time passed.
The Tier 4 snake became even more menacing as it advanced behind the other beasts. The Tier 3 dragonfly stopped not far away from them, not attacking first as though it were observing what these humans were planning to do. Meanwhile, the Tier 3 bear looked at them with murderous intent.
The moment it reached fifteen meters, Clovis spun his body and rushed to the Tier 3 paraceratherium. He struck the wounds on the beast's neck.
*Roooo!* The paraceratherium let out a loud groan, alerting all the other beasts.
The higher tier beasts noticed that Clovis was planning to do something and ready to head out themselves.
That was when Clovis shouted, "Jay!"
"!!!" Jay, who was taken aback by Clovis's sudden interference, immediately turned around and headed to the Tier 3 beast. "Follow me!"
The four high tier beasts tried to respond to this sudden action. The Tier 3 beast spread its arms while the beasts around the bear charged forward.
"MOVE!" Jay shouted at the top of his lungs as he used every ounce of his strength and sent the beasts flying.
The beasts were confused, but more and more beasts came toward him.
Kanaria had changed to an automatic rifle,ammunition and Melody held a gun on one hand and a grenade on the other.
Both of them unleashed all their ammunitions, suppressing the beasts on Jay's sides.
There were some beasts that tried to attack Kanaria and Melody instead of Jay, but Ragna hurriedly stood in their way and banged their heads with his shield. He only wanted to repel these beasts instead of defeating them.
Meanwhile, the Tier 3 dragonfly flew into the sky, approaching them. However, there was one thing that the dragonfly noticed from the sky. Clovis was still occupied by the Tier 3 paraceratherium.
"Your enemy is me." Clovis shouted while striking the beasts with everything he had.
The paraceratherium responded by hitting him with its head.
Seeing Clovis was left behind, the dragonfly actually chose to target Clovis first. After all, the bear should be able to stall for some time due to their difference in strength.
Thinking the same thing, the snake also crawled toward Clovis.
This way, Clovis would be surrounded by two Tier 3 beasts and one Tier 4 beast.
In the face of imminent death, a smile actually appeared on his face.
He was pretty lucky that his teammates trusted him so much that they didn't turn their heads around and call for his name with a worried expression. It would just weaken his resolve.
And since they were focused on the front, they wouldn't create unnecessary openings because of those feelings.
These three high tier beasts were closing in. The other beasts also surrounded him so that he couldn't escape while the higher tier beasts fought him.
However, that wasn't necessary.
When the snake was about to arrive, Clovis knew that the snake had two options. First, the snake could loop around, but it would push the lower tier beasts away due to its size. The second possibility was to go under this paraceratherium. This colossal monster had a huge gap beneath its body, so the Tier 4 snake should be able to reach Clovis in an instant by passing that gap.
The dragonfly approached him from the outside, waiting for Clovis to actually move away from these two.
However, Clovis betrayed the dragonfly's expectations. Instead of moving away, Clovis actually positioned himself right at the bottom of the paraceratherium's foot.
'If you can't make a decision, I'll give you the decision. Come!' Clovis thought with a smile.
The paraceratherium obviously got triggered, considering Clovis was right underneath him. With a single stop, he would die.
The snake was the same. If it swiftly moved underneath the paraceratherium, it could deal a killing blow to Clovis. When crossing the Tier 3 paraceratherium, the snake would let out a sound so that the paraceratherium wouldn't hurt him.
However, when it was about to open its mouth, Clovis pulled the pin and tossed the flashbang into the air.
"!!!" The paraceratherium, who was trying to crush him, got hit by this flashbang at point blank range. The flash blinded the beast for a bit, making the beast's posture unstable.
In addition, the ringing sound struck the dragonfly, causing it to fly back.
The Tier 4 snake that was about to say something abruptly lowered its mouth due to the same ringing sound, meaning the paraceratherium didn't know the snake was crossing underneath it.
To stabilize its posture, the paraceratherium had no choice but to lower the foot that was supposed to crush Clovis. And that foot landed on the snake's head.
