Chapter 205 - Black Camp

Black Camp

Jake was different case. He was also in one of the black tents. Those bling ogres were eager to suck the human. It was dark around so the screen of the task panel lit up. It was exact time when the blind ogre sensed the human and the strip fell on Jake.

The task panel gave some brightness in the dark tent. Jake could see the strip however as soon as his hand touched the strip, number of notifications appeared on the screen.

[Race: Blind ogres]

[Individuality: Blood sucker]

[Quest: Blood suckers are the selected enemies for the specific quest area. They live in the form of colony.]

[Attention: The ogres should not accumulate on your body. They circle around the target and render helpless. Nothing can save from the clutches of the blood suckers if the living being gets caught completely.]

Jake read the notification. This task panel was a thing he should thank first of all. Before reading the notification he thought that the tent was made of cloth strips and by chance one of it fell on him.

Now that he knew Jake threw the strip aside in the first priority. He blinked at the screen because he did not want it to go back.

[The host can rest assured. The life of the host is the priority of the task panel.]

A notification appeared to bring some ease at the face of the host Jake Lin.

Jake read it. He nodded and walked around to see the exit. "Is there any exit?" Jake asked the task panel.

The notification appeared.

[There is no exit in this colony. You will need to kill the blood suckers and clear the black tent. The dead blood suckers would collapse the colony and the host could leave the camp.]

Jake read it. He was curious about the card. If it was Orin he might have sacrificed his Exp to get the clue from the book of detection.

"Task panel is there a way to know where we can find the card." Jake asked another question from the task panel.

[The card is hidden in one of the black camps. If the player successfully killed the enemies then he could get the card or else it would bring trouble for the rest of the team.]

The answer of the task panel brought round of worries for Jake. According to the task panel the card was not in this black camp. Then it was with someone else but who could be the player?

Jake was about to ask another question when he saw the number three mentioned at the right side of the screen reduced to zero. It means he used up all clues and the preferred options given by the task panel.

Even if he asked another question, Jake already knew the answer of the task panel. So he decided to not ask.

He picked the gun and started using it against the colony of the ogres. There was no more doubt after the clarification of the task panel. He felt as if he was firing at the tent cloth but soon he witnessed the difference.

Blood started seeping from the tent. The problem was that every strip has separate life and needed proper attacks. Also the ogres were compacted in the form of colony and it was not easy to clear each layer at once.

It was slow process because the gun needed cool down. The grenades were not option. He was standing under the black camp and there was no exit right at this moment. He would be in huge trouble if the blast did not bring the calculated results so he remained contented with the gun.

It would take time but it was fine as long as he could get out of the black camp.

The blood suckers could not get a chance to attack at the human because the task panel was guiding with the minute detail. At one point they were frustrated because the human was attacking just when they want to attack from some direction.

The first hole appeared in the black camp. Jake did not halt his actions other than the cool down of the weapon. He heaved deep breath seeing the bright light outside.

The dead strips fell one after the other and started accumulating on the ground. Jake was thinking about the other team members and also the expected black camp where the card was hidden.

…

Sashi came to know that fake appearance of the enemy was trying to capture her. She did not slack after knowing this. Her arrows consecutively stuck the camp walls.

Some of the strips fell on her to stop her actions. She used her dagger to get rid of them.

Long range weapons faced cool down. Sashi focused her attention to clear an exit at first however the way the colony was densely cramped made her speechless.

The enemies did not want her to escape because they were willing to bet everything.

Some of the ogres that did not get seriously injured crawled on the ground silently.

They wanted to capture the human feet and render helpless.

Sashi looked at the ground with the help of lit weapon and saw the over smart enemies crawling near her feet. It might have thrown her on the ground right after circling the strips.

She found it on the right moment. Sashi jumped aside and avoided the strips. She was curious to see as to what types of enemies were trying to attack but she did not want to take risk.

It was live portal and she would be in trouble if the enemies seriously surrounded her.

She was not with the other team members which stopped her from doing any risky choice. Since the strips were crawling Sashi thrust the arrow without using bow.

She was like riddling the ground with her anger. After making sure that none of the strips moved anymore Sashi tried to get rid these unique enemies.

She was also thinking about other team members and their circumstances.. No one find each other after the entered in the new quest area.
