Exaza 5
Twelfth quest
Orin read the clue, "The three corners of the Exazand should be one. The mangora monster should return to the seventeenth level."
The riddle met the criteria of true riddle. The team members could not understand anything much less to borate.
Orin as the bearer of the Detective profession should try his best to borate however he was standing speechless. The riddle was unique and they don''t know how they could make the three corners in to one.
"Bringing riddle at the thirdst quest of the level is not friendly notion of the developers. Do they think we have enough of time to run around and search meaning of the riddle? Our Detective is standing as if he is worriless." Junan rubbed his hands on his temples.
Albert pointed his spear at the ground and held it straight. He supported it on the ground looking at the team head, "It is confirmed that this high level monster does not belong to third level. The responsibility is to send it back by solving the riddle." Hemented his theory.
For all team members it was something they had had never happened to face in any game. Since when did the monsters of advance levels started to appear in the lower levels? And the expectations were that high to do the task.
''Despite all the odds of the portal game, it was getting increasingly demanding for the yers. However it increased the curiosity of the spectators.
The appearance of the stronger monster in the third level aired the tension among the spectators as well as the teams those were getting ready for the next level entry.
Now most of them were looking at the third team and what method they woulde up to get rid the trouble. The third team was under pressure of the situation. The ticking time added trouble to it. There were still three quests before thepletion of the third level.''
Junan looked at Albert. "The problem is not big. We can still tackle it. The monster is stronger that''s why we are not supposed to defeat it instead send it back." Team head did not want his team members get scared of the task.
His shining sword could do wonders when he wielded it. Junan was experienced guild leader and pretty sober yer. He could tell the situation and the demand of the situation.
In this particr situation the yers needed to maintain theirposure. "There is nothing that we cannot do. We are different from other teams. Everyone y for money or the self-interests. We are here for the greater picture of the portal games. Remember nothing is bigger than our courage." Junan spoke firmly.
His first priority was to boost up the determination of the team members. With their perseverance he could lead this team andplete any tough quest however if they got disappointed then thepletion of the single task would be impossible.
The four feet skinny humans were looking at the team members from afar.
They wanted to know if the team could solve the riddle or not. The monster would wake up after some time and then none of them would be able to survive.
They would definitely be the meal of the mangora monster.
Sashi took deep breath. She hung her arrow at the back and spoke, "We can start our task by searching the three corners of the Exazand. It would let us know what we are supposed to do."
In her opinion the riddle could only lead them nowhere if they did not search the three corners. No matter if the three corner did not exist still they could by chance get any clue.
"There are these skinny humans, team head might ask them as well." Sashi pointed toward the uneven ground at the distance.
The skinny human that was keeping eyes at the team members saw the girl pointing at them. He screamed and gathered rest of skinny fes. They ran at the opposite side away from the team.
Surprisingly despite their skinny stature they were too fast and soon disappeared from the eyes of the team members.
Sashi got shocked to see this. Well her attention was pure however the reaction of the skinny humans was hasty. Her pointed arm was still. After seeing that her actions made them flee, she brought down the pointed hand.
"I think the skinny humans are afraid of something." Sashi blinked to speak the excuse.
Others were fully attentive toward her when she spoke her suggestion and they witnessed what happened after her suggestion. They noted reaction of the skinny humans and the reaction of the female yer. Unknowingly they were smiling. It brought fresh wave of enthusiasm toplete the task.
Junan held his sword. "Now that the book of detection is not avable for clue, we should search the clue." He gestured all of them.
Jake might have asked task panel for the clue however he was stumped at the answer of the task panel. The previous clue was giving with the minute detail that eventually cost the ce of all three clues for daily.
There was no more clue for today. Jake felt spilling some anger at the task panel but he could not. The situation was simr, at the time of crisis all assistance disappeared.
However Jake was not disappointed. He could keep critical eye at the surrounding and tell the better options for follow up.
Team head called them to hurry and move. They were going to search the boundary of the exazand. After appearing in this quest they did not check much about the quest area.
Orin and Ahram hurried with the sprint ability. They could rush faster than others.
…
The Exaza Land was constantly under threat. The beastly insects were the bigger problem.
The fourth corner of thend was attacked with the next quest area so it was safe. The rest of three parts were attacked by the odd insects. They soil eaters.
Originally the Exazand was safe for the skinny humans however it got attacked recently. The reason was unknown for the skinny humans. However they were much afraid to encounter those insects.
The insects were frightening. They could eat the soil and destroy the Exazand slowly. It was the threat that skinny humans could never tackle.
This was the reason that they fled after they saw the team member pointing toward them. They fled thinking that perhaps the human team would force them to bring toward the first corner of thend.
Since skinny humans were part of the soil the insects would get attracted toward them. It would bring disaster. The insects would finish the living of the exazand before finishing thend.
All three corners were facing simr situation and the insects were too fast to eat up half of it.
The destruction of the Exaza Land would result the locking of the thirteenth quest. It could potentially devastate all struggle of the third team.
The collective and individual formation of the tasks made it necessary for the third team to go through the tasks at any risk. Now that live portal was opening the advance gaming concept, the developers wanted to give heist of threats.
At every step the third team would be thrown on knees in order to hype the spectators.
The ending of the third level would definitely make the spectators earnestly wait for the fourth level.
The insects were not in small numbers. In case the third team gotte in understanding the riddle then they would fell in the danger. Once they fell among the insects then none of the weapon could save them nor even ammunition or grenades.
Jake was walking behind however he thought about the special ability of the task panel. The task panel was responsible for the life of the host so it immediately inform about the threat.
Jake knew this fact so he decided to walk ahead the team. The team members were walking without clue and their chase was blind.
In this situation his decision could at least give them some prior assistance before the threat. "I want to walk ahead and notice the surrounding." He spoke out loud so that team head could hear him.
Junan heard and nodded.
He was willing to let the young yer test his observational ability.
Others slowed down their pace and Jake sprinted ahead.
Ahram and Orin also slowed their pace. They were at the orders of the team head.
Jake finally led. He was keeping eyes at the forest. It was simr as to when they reached in the quest area. There were not many changes.
The insects were currently under the soil and finishing. The problem was still at the peak, the three corners were under the attack at the same time.
Jake finally received the threat when they left the forest area and reached at the in ground.. This in ground was part of the first corner of the Exaza Land.
