Sea Desert 4

One by one they kept the shield to protect their sanity in the desert. They reached the sand dune but it did not bring much change. The chances of finding the real place were slimming down.

They looked in the surrounding and could see only sand. Under the bright sun it was tough to keep the eyes open and focused. The middle of the sea and desert was nowhere.

Team head and the other members saw the sea stopped at some point. It was the first place where they noticed the tides rising up and the sea spreading its corners.

There was not much change. The sea stopped for half an hour with the normal movement. The sea creatures were gathering in numbers. They wanted to burn out the humans then get back to their job.

"Is there any possibility that the middle of the sea and desert happened to be in the sea?" Orin asked the most pressing question. If it was truth then they might be in trouble. Those creatures would kill them with their attacks.

It would be big mission digging out the card from the sea. If they were fortunate enough they might get it after some damage but the signs were not in favor.

"We are blind. Only our strategy and the effort could let us complete the task. We wanted to bring the card along while the purpose of the sea creature is perhaps opposite. They might be bosses? This we can only find by work. It is possible that I might throw you to fix an appointment between bosses and I?" Team Head asked fair question at the end of the comment.

He was quite lively when speaking to Orin. From the very beginning of the game Orin happened to be at bad terms with his profession. Now after knowing that Detective profession scam Exp Junan built soft corner in his heart for this team member.

"Man we cannot fix appointment, can we?" Clark did not hear all comment instead the last line. This idea baffled him much. He wanted to know if it was possible.

Albert side smiled. Probably he understood the reason why Orin and Clark were selected for this golden team.

They were sincere and plain. Apparently it was not best characteristics to fight against the evil enemies however a sober and smart team head could easily handle them.

The first and foremost priority was the difference between the characteristics of the team and the enemies. The owner of the team was definitely smart man.

Orin did not speak further. He understood the meaning behind the comment of the team head. He was ready to immediately leave a spoiler text in the buddy hub that was personal group created by his friends however he forced himself to not do so.

Sometimes it could earn the anger of the team head if team members act irresponsible or indifferent toward the quest. Well it was not option when the quest was running with the time limits.

They noticed the sea tides moving again and spreading from its corners. They stepped back and could see creatures coming in numbers this time.

"Again this is happening. Are we going to lose our remaining weapons?" Clark asked worried. Albert walked toward him and patted on his shoulder. "I will let my shield work faster and stop every attack. It can bear the attack of the creatures without receiving damage."

Clark heard and got surprised in fact he felt at ease. If something could save his weapon then there was no need to worry anything.

They started retreating to see that the surface would increase just like before. They were unable to find the middle of the sea and the desert in the first attempt and now they would face the attacks of the creatures.

Others kept behind Albert. They moved back at some sand dune. Standing on the sand dune was helpful because the water surface decrease first from the peak.

Also they could stand against the attacks. Remaining scattered would increase problem for Albert during attacks so they wanted to remain behind him.

Jake and others happened to notice the second surge in the water. They saw the rest of the team members and walked toward them. Without team head they did not want to decide on their own. Also the apparent actions of Albert were giving impression as if his weapon could tackle the attack.

It was best to move and reach near team head at this time. They hurried and before the water could reach at their necks they gathered at the previous sand dune.

Ahram saw the number of creatures he was short of words as to how they would remain safe from attacks. A shield could not move at the normal pace under the water. Albert was sincere however his effort might not be enough to save the team members.

Slowly more creatures joined. They were almost surrounded under the water. Ahram tried to render some help nonetheless it was tough to maintain breath under the water.

The black shining creatures were looking at the humans as if they were already dead in their eyes. It was actually going to be troublesome for the team members.

Clark supported Jake in the water. Jake held his shield in case some creature attacked both. He was thinking what he could do apart from asking the task panel.

He was clueless what method could give helping hand to the team members other than the timely clue of the task panel. It was time to summon the task panel and ask.

He silently called it. The notification appeared making him speechless. He read the notification.

[Host should talk to the creature and tell your purpose of coming here in this quest area.]

[Sea creatures are friendly.]

[Do not harm them.]

Jake twitched and looked at the angry creature. It was threatening and the task panel said these were friendly.

It should be best option that he do this ridiculous thing of talking to the creature instead of asking team head to do it.
