The spot that Alex was standing on was the supposed meeting spot of the Gigglewraths.
After each survey of their designated areas, they meet up here and talk about what they saw, and at every single turn, the beast that Alex killed was the first to arrive.
Alex had to keep his timing perfect; he had to be sure of the time difference between the beasts' arrival.
That was why Alex had used up his 30-minute time observing them, and finally, he made a move.
The first beast was killed quite close to the meeting point, almost a 10-meter away.
Alex did calculate the time, and he had to take down each beast within the time he had allotted for them as fighting more than one was outside his reach for now.
But what if a beast came way too early than he had predicted it to be?
Did he have a plan B?
