Chapter 220 - Eysera Bridge 2
Eysera Bridge 2
Orin screamed because the thorny plants were prickling. He was trying to get rid. The more he struggled to pull them away, stronger those thorny plants stacked on his body.
He was living example of life in the hell. The hell that he borrowed intentionally, others could see his plight but they were looking at the team head. Junan shook his head. He gestured Albert to move ahead and help the fool.
.Albert spread his shield and walked near the unlucky Orin. He was curious as to what type of enemy he could expect. The thorny plants were looking like the stubborn sticky enemy.
The plants were giving damage as they pricked the thorns in the skin. Albert used his spear at one of the plant and it fell on the ground. Albert did not firmly attacked instead he ruffled it away. It was alive. After Albert threw it and the plant started moving toward him.
Perhaps it got the next target.
Albert twitched he did not want to face similar thing so he stabbed the spear in the plant. The small dragging plant fell dead. These plants were round in shape with thorns. It was more like cactus but in round shape.
There were many similar cactus plants that hindered the path and stopped team members from further advancement. "Guys this time we are against plants. I don't know what else to say." Albert spoke out loud.
He was removing cactus from Orin. He himself pulled the cactus from his face. "I promise I would never act before the permission of the team leader. Hell I am screwed this time." Orin shouted.
His face started itching because the cactus attacked at his face during the initial brawl.
Now that Albert killed first cactus plant, other cactus plants showed up alive. They started falling from the top of the heap. "Hell shit, save yourself from the cactus attack. They are here to bring trouble for us." Junan ordered team members.
He held his sword and got busy among the cactus attacks. Sashi did not need to make mistake in attacking the heap of plants. They were already very actively reaching toward her.
She was unable to use the arrow as the long range attacks. Sashi picked the arrow and started stabbing at the plant. It was big struggle to keep the enemies at the distance. "They are creepier than I can imagine." She spoke.
All of them separately tackled with the cactus. They were everywhere. When they attacked at the left, the cactus tried to latch on to the feet. Orin finally got rid most of the scum cactus however he was not looking fine especially his face.
The level of the enemy and the level of the players was similar in most quests. The bosses happened to be ten times stronger. Equally stronger opponents could be troublesome when they smartly attack without warning.
These time of enemy could bring headache most of the time. They could silently gather around and make any smart action. The team members could get distracted when such type of enemies created any plan. The plans were simply non-brainy so it took some time to understand the attention of the enemies.
The cactus did not get afraid when the team members started counter attacking, they instead increased the pace. Clark smashed the hammer on the ground near his feet. Three cactus got killed however three more came taking small sprints. They look like tiny ruffians ready to capture the players or at least stop them from further advancement.
"You tiny ruffians, wait for my hammer." Clark held the hammer and wanted to smash however the cactus moved aside masterfully. One of them stood near his left leg, the second one jumped on it. The third also came and jumped.
They seemed like making ladder to reach up and grab the player. "How could you." The hammer waved to throw them away. The ladder broke and the cactus fell away. They did not accept defeat however decided to come back from different direction.
Since the path was narrow the players were at different parts separately killing cactus attack. Jake found it quite amazing because the cactus' were acting prudent when attacking but the numbers of the cactus were second headache.
Jake was using gun. This weapon has limit of attacks so he only listened to the directions of the task panel. The task panel was responsible to use all means to save the earned perks, Exp, hp and golden bar hp.
This was the reason that task panel appear to guide when the enemy happened to be potential.
The cactus could directly damage the hp so the task panel should necessarily give guidance.
Jake only fired at those who were nearing or they were ready to catch on his feet. The cactus tried to become ladder and forcefully take away the hp.
Jake took a look at the other team members. They were at considerable distance. The cactus attacks separated them because of the narrow path. They could not enter in the forest because of the restriction.
It seemed invisible barrier did not let then enter in the forest. They were responsible to live under the means and get rid the first trouble in this quest.
Jake was slow when attacking. The cactus crowd thought to suddenly attack in numbers thinking that the young player would not be able to stop them in bulk.
Well they were wrong. The grenades were not there for show off. Jake used them whenever he felt the need.
He was waiting for the cactus to show smartness. Most of the enemies tried to appear smart when they see the player act lazy or calculative.
He could see that the cactus' were acting more vigil, it was apparent they were planning to attack in bulk. "You are going to regret. I warn you to retreat or else there won't be goodies of further living for you." Jake murmured and held the grenade.
