Chapter 163 - Fauna
Fauna
For some time the fauna roared in the vicinity mourning over the damage of the Oak park. Once the damage done, the particular part of the Oak Park looked threadbare.
Junan remained silent, after the angry fauna left he spoke, "This creature is bigger. I wonder if we will be able to kill it." He asked unsure.
The level of the creature and the level of the players were similar of two poles apart. The task panel warned about fauna because of the same reason.
They could not understand the reason behind this choice of the developers.
"We cannot tell exactly if this creature is defeat able. Probably we are not supposed to battle with the creature instead search the card and move on." Albert commented his opinion.
His opinion could be considered sober because he was second strongest after the team head. Albert was the right hand in this game portal. He was second half strength of the team.
His words worth much whenever he speak. "I am thinking the same. There are few games where few creatures are added to make the worth of the game or the level however the players can skip battling with those creatures. If the purpose of the fauna is the similar then we can follow up for the card." Junan added.
They were supposed to collect fourteen cards. Apparently it looked normal however fourteen cards meant fourteen tasks. If they compared the time and divide properly then it was tough to complete the level.
For example every task led them toward the different mini battles or the uncertain clues. It was taxing procedure that they faced in the previous two levels. It was clear they could not use up their energy and the hp for battling fauna that was only for the worth of the level. Also killing it might not give them reward.
It was the normal scenario. The game did not provide rewards for such battles those were meant to overlook.
The team members heard their conversation it was easy to understand that this third level was demanding differently. They could not act similar of the previous levels. Some new strategy and the choice of actions could lead them toward the right direction of the portal or else they will be surrounded by the worthy creatures.
"In my opinion we can silently follow fauna and see where it could lead us." Jake spoke. They heard and nodded. It was reasonable suggestion. By following they could find the card hopefully or at least the whereabouts of the card.
They agreed on this suggestion. The fauna left the vicinity. It was heading to destroy the hidden place of the humans. Seeing the few humans destroyed the Oak park area the fauna thought that these humans must belong to the groups of the reluctant humans those always create chaos in the Oak park.
Third team went to search the fauna. At the same time they were walking carefully. The liquid fog was everywhere so they could expect the attack of the first team.
The first team was nowhere. They heard the creature and ran to save their lives. They learned lesson not to directly attack the third team. They were behind the second team however after knowing that the third team was quite active for this attack they retreated.
They did not want to end up regret their actions in the end.
Well they saved their day by this decision.
This time the third team changed their formation. Albert was at the back. He was giving cover from behind in case first team tried to ambush.
They came to know that the instructions of the team head were meant reality. The other two teams were here to stop them or damage their strength overall.
Perhaps they already know that they could not complete any level of the portal.
This was the beginning of the level and they faced the first battle for no reason. Now they were searching fauna. Finally they heard the flapping on the wings. The fauna was big bird with huge appearance. Thankfully the flapping of the wings did not remove the liquid fog or else they would get exposed.
There was another reason. The wings of the fauna were bigger however it did not flap like the dangerous creatures. Perhaps the reason was simple. This fauna was not the big boss or the second boss.
Third team hid. They were unsure where it was heading only the flapping made them follow behind.
At the ground the groups of the bald creatures were moving toward the hidden den of the humans by following the fauna.
The fauna stopped flapping wings near a big hill. The hill was covered with lot of greenery. Several uneven rocks grew up greenery on it. It looked quite fantastical with the first glance.
Junan and his team members were curious to see the groups of creatures. They comprehended the situation little later. At every uneven greenery hilly part the humans were hiding.
They were alert after sensing the presence of the fauna in fact they were curious because they did not harm the Oak park in any way. Still the fauna came to bother them.
A man wearing the skin of some animal stood up before the fauna could order creatures for the attack.
The bulky man was double in stature compared to Clark. The team noticed. "The matter is complex. Something is serious. The human npc's are not afraid of the fauna. Let's see what is going to happen." Junan whispered.
He gestured all of them to remain silent. There were groups of creatures where the team members were hiding. Also the fauna was flapping over the head.
The bulky human looked dangerous from his expressions and the actions.
"We had been living peacefully. What made you visit this hill?" the burly man asked angrily.
The fauna spoke, "The humans destroyed the middle part of the Oak park.. And you say you are living here peacefully?" the fauna angrily flapped its wings.
