Chapter 24 - Second Placement

    Second cement


    The second cement has four corners and was with the makeshift adjustment of the setting. This mean they could not directly watch what was the other side. Previously, when they were walking through they sneaked carefully around every corner but now things were different.


    The secret was no more a skeleton in the cupboard. No, it was out in the sun now. The hidden ogres were revealed. They were waiting for one careless move. Junan looked at his team members and gestured them to walk slowly like a cat, without creating any noise. Jake held his breath because the window shook slightly. Knowing that the yers were extra smart the ogres were at their heels to make a n for how to attack in their ignorance.


    They spotted the young yer that was standing tall and alert. Now they could see that they were unable to enter inside the house through the window. This yer was attacking efficiently, rendering all of them helpless. The ogres fairly reduced their interruption at first hand immediately. The other yers were working at the set pace; this was a fair chance for them to attack the lone young yer.


    Jake felt that something was wrong, previously the ogres were attacking thoughtlessly and he was able to stop them with the bullets but now something was different, something was off. He was about to step ahead and look through the window when the system gave him a warning. [Prepare to avoid sneak attack and hide]


    This was the first clue that was given at the beginning of the second day of the game. He could avail two more clues. Jake hurriedly followed the warning and hid behind the kitchen counter which was acting as a hindrance between the direct view of the window.


    Meantime, a long, green chain type of weapon came rushing in the same direction where the young yer was standing. It was just two feet away from the present spot. Jake saw the long green winding creeper and breathed a deep shaky breath. It was the warning of the system that saved his day, otherwise, he might have gone to stand in front of the window, looking for more ogres.


    Jake blinked seeing the winding creeper more like a deadly weapon seeping green liquid. Jake did not need to ask the system what and how much damage this creeper might have done to his in-game life. The dripping liquid was poison and the creeper has enough of appearance to be used as a word weapon or more than that.


    With less gaming experience, Jake could not tell what exactly it was, an ogre or the weapon of an ogre. However, he was not going to bother the encyclopedia of ogres. He only wanted to let the attacker learn some lesson. He fired a bullet and the creeper was cut in half from the other part with a deep gash, sprouting out of it was green poison like blood.


    The remaining part cried in agony and shrank back the creeper. Sadly, this n of the ogres also failed and they could not get rid of the young yer. They would have entered through the window and attacked the other yers, however, this young yer was a constant pain in their necks.


    This was the best time for attack because the yers were worried about the cement''s hidden ogres. All their energy and time was being wasted on a single-yer. The ogres could not use the window of the cleared out room because the yers had shut it off already.


    Jake was at ease. The dy of the ogres was helping him to allow his weapons to cool down. This way he would not mind keep a track of them, slowly until the team leader could clear the second room. The ogres were highly unsatisfied seeing that the team members were so organized with the advancement.


    The ves were given a limited time to kill these yers before they could reach near the Second Heart of the Python. The threat was tugging at their heads. The ves were most desperate to stop these yers else the python would strangle them to death.


    Until now half of the ves were killed in the colony which decreased the expanse of opponents. Well, this colony was a threat in itself because of the strict watch over of the Cobra Lord. This cobra was appointed by the Python to guard the Second Heart with all its might.


    The presence of the cobra was the reason that few ves were afraid to enter this colony. Cobra was the second strongest poisonous creature in the whole district and the other creatures were worried to offend it. They were not threatened by the mere presence instead the four faithful Serpents were the real headache.


    These Serpents were blind, merely sniffing and then killing ves for pleasure. Not only the Python was cruel; it chose cruel helpers to exploit the district. They abused the ves which were the original creatures of this district and living there for decades. The Python oppressed these creatures and poisoned them forcefully.


    Some of the creatures were overjoyed seeing yers came to clear the district. They wanted to help the yers but entering the Second Heart colony meant that they would offend the Cobra Lord. Still, these creatures were willing to lend a helping hand when needed. After the yers destroyed the Third Heart; it brought strong hope that the yers have the guts to destroy the Second Heart.


    So, these creatures were waiting for the right time. The whole district was necessary to be freed from the clutches of the Python and they were willing to sacrifice some of them. To avoid the poisonous effects they had been hiding for so long.


    The yers had a tiny bulb of hope flickering in their hearts that the district can resume the initial harmless state. The second room was silent because none of the yers had made a single move until now other than the asional firing of shots. Jake could not take the burden of distraction as he was only limited to using his left hand to y the controls.


    His eyes were fixated on the window and the possible attack of the ogres. The second room was getting low on breathing air. The yers gulped dried out throats when they noticed.. It was strange that the hidden ogres were not moving to attack them.
