Chapter 277 – Shuffle

Shuffle

Four of them stood silent. Clark gave this suggestion however it would consume time. The soil hills were in numbers. Junan stepped ahead letting the soil slip down on the ground from his hand. "Your suggestion created curiosity. These bones are hiding when we try to capture. I wonder what would happen when we dug the soil?" He kicked his feet and some soil scattered around.

Despite knowing that it would take time, he ordered to shovel the soil. Ahram picked his weapon, he dug it down and shoved away. Some amount of the soil settled on the empty ground.

Clark saw Ahram shuffling soil. Once again his hammer was not of much help. It can only smash the ground but he was not supposed to do it. He sat to pick the soil with his hand. There was no difference. The brown soil felt fresh and neutral.

Once Ahram shuffle half part of the hill, Junan ordered him to stop, "Why is it strange? There were many half bones before Ahram started to dig yet they are nowhere now."

As Ahram was busy he didn't notice because none of the half bones came in his view at the time. "I guess it is useless to shuffle soil. Albert spoke. He used his spear in order to make sure that the soil react or the bones. They disappeared as soon as they tried to capture them.

"It means we are at wrong point to begin the task in the first place. Perhaps we should look for something else. Albert take Ahram with you and search the subsections. Look beyond the soil hills, see if there is particular object." Junan gestured both players.

The current state of the Soil Hall was unfathomable. The mysterious haunted object created confusion for them. It was the last effort, Junan thought to call young player so that he could observe the situation.

As he was walking toward the next soil hill, he noticed a bone on the hill. This hill was in the middle of the section. Although all preset bones looked alike nonetheless this specific bone had small scar.

Compared to the rest of bones, this one seemed slightly worn with a scar as if something strong brushed past and knocked it resulting scar. "We were searching you and you have been hiding among several." Junan laughed.

All of the soil hills reduced to ground immediately. The haunted object was discovered by the player nevertheless it was not ready to give up. Clark yelled with excitement, "What happened?" He was looking at another hill suspicion brewing in his head and didn't hear team head.

The sudden fall of the hills made him shocked.

Junan twitched, he was not expecting immediate reaction. He controlled his desire to shout, "Just that I recognized the Crow Bone. Now I lost it again." Junan shook his head. "I admit, battling with beasts and animals is better than doing nothing and destroying haunted objects." Team head was getting annoyed with the settings of the fourth level.

"May or may not they designed it for the players, it is clear the developers built fourth level for the spectators to get bored." In his eyes the task without battle was sluggish for onlookers.

However things were different. The spectators could see first team hiding among subsections of the Soil Hall. They smartly hid under the soil hills. As Junan spoke they discovered where was the Crow Bone.

As Junan walked toward Clark to send him and bring Jake inside, one of the opponent team member sneaked toward the particular hill. The fall of the hills was made by the opponent team. Few hills were still there.

It was true that the haunted object immediately hide itself yet the opponent team was able to make it. They sneakily crawled from the other side.

Clark went to bring Jake. Junan thought to gather others. Never in his dreams he thought that first team entered in the Soil Hall before them. Base on it he was carefree to bring others.

The first team head made way with his weapon. The haunted object was not powerful to tear apart the shield. The team head used shield to stop the movement of the object. If it had been soil hill, it would have taken lot effort but now he grabbed it.

Before Junan could notice the sneaky voice, they smashed their weapon to destroy the haunted object. Junan turned his head while walking toward the subsection.

At the same time Jake came to witness. The first team stood up dusting their gowns. They were able to clear another hall successfully using some brain.

The team head of the first team silently sneered at Junan and walked out of the hall. He was not interested to have dialogue with the third team.

Junan stood speechless. It was type of revenge that first team took by snatching task right from their hands. The announcement made the spectators agape with surprise. They were expecting that third team was near to clear the task yet First team suddenly had it done.

Jake looked toward team head. He was about to ask when the announcement for the ability resounded.

'The ability called Cold Chain is being released. Get it from the cold area of the museum.'

They heard about the announcement. Ahram heard it well. He ran toward the others. This announcement let Albert and Ahram knew that they lost this task.

They saw the team members and nodded, "We will discuss later, let's get the ability first." Junan waved his hand. They rushed toward the cold area of the museum. "Where can we find this cold area?" Ahram asked. He didn't want his enemies take the ability. He was not interested to change his profession so his weapons would remain same.

For this he was enthusiastic to get the ability and see what wonders it can do. Junan yelled while running, "It will be the underground basement. Museums built basement for some sort of objects to preserve from the direct atmosphere.." Junan waved his hand toward the direction.
