Ellis and Ray were peeping the Orcs in the room and by the look of things they don't plan on coming out of the room anytime soon.

" What could they be talking about that will take forever whispered Ray to Ellis.

" Who knows, maybe they are discussing being tired of eating beast and decided to attack the human" Ellis whispered back to Ray with a light chuckle.

" Would they really do that" asked Ray in fear.

" Of course not, do you think the humans are a pushover just because they are tiny compare to them" replied Ellis.

" Let's just hope that you are right on that one" said Ray.

The orc continue with what they are doing until eventually settling their matters which took them some minutes. When Ray and Ellis saw that they were coming at their direction, they turn around and ran into the room by the left before they will be caught.

Staying in the room, they were unable to come out because an Orc came at the moment they entered the room. Sitting on a chair the orc began to swing himself while Ellis and Ray watch from their hiding place.

" We are running out of time just staying here while doing nothing, it won't be long before the potion wear off" said Ellis while staring at the Orc.

" Why don't we just take it out since it won't be expecting it" replied Ray while placing his hand on the blade handle?

" Are you crazy, what if we end up causing an uproar here" said Ellis.

" That's why you would be the one to deliver the hit since my blade will be very noisy" replied Ray while giving Ellis a smile.

" Ah, good thing it just in the early stage of the foundation realm else I would not agree to this" said Ellis before crawling towards where the Orc was resting and after getting behind the orc without being noticed, Ellis throw a heavy punch at the back of the Orc's neck which killed it in the process.

Getting up from the ground Ellis signal Ray to get up before walking out of the room.

" Now we'll have to find where that Orc with the Serpent Crux Amulet is Before the potion run out" said Ellis in a low voice as they begin to search the rooms ahead and when they hear a footstep heading their way, they will either hide if possible or go the other way.

" Why is it so difficult to find an orc with an Amulet in his neck" complain Ray after searching the rooms with no sign of the orc been in sight.

" Maybe they went outside to hunt for beast" replied Ellis.

They were just about to try out another room to see if the orc is in there, but that was when they heard the sound of footstep coming their way, they ran into the room without checking to see I there is an orc inside, and it turns out that the room was empty.

Opening the door slightly to see I the orc is gone, only for them to see the orc they have been looking for all this while.

" That's our man alright" said Ray in a low voice and to their surprise the orc turn around like it had heard something. Looking at the cave that is devoid of any soul, the orc turned back and continue walking for, but it mutter as it walked.

" I must have been hearing things, I think I should go take a nap to clear my head from all of this nonsense"

After the orc has gone far from them, Ellis turn to Ray and said.

" This is why I always say you should talk less while we are at a mission".

" Yeah yeah I heard you loud and clear mister, by the way shouldn't we be following it" asked Ray while pointing at the direction the orc went.

" Yeah but we need to be extremely careful this time around, since this orc has a keen sense" replied Ellis.

" Not only that, its cultivation is really high so our only hope of snatching the amulet from it will be when it wants to take its bath" said Ray with a serious look on his face.

" Just look at how serious you are, but it's such a shame that you don't think with that head of yours" said Ellis before adding orc don't take their bath as we humans do by the way didn't you hear it saying that it's going to take a nap".

" Yeah I actually forgot about that, come on lets keep track of it before we lose it again" replied Ray before coming out of the room and follow the direction the orc took.

" My god why is that guy always impatient" said Ellis before going after them.

The orc went into a room and they both sneak their way into the room where they find the orc laying in bed made of stone while snoring.

" It should be fast asleep" said Ray with a smile on his face.

" Let's wait a bit longer to be on the safe side" replied Ellis while observing the snoring Orc.

They waited for a bit longer before making their move. Walking to the Orc, they could see the amulet on his neck but the problem they are now having was how they are going to get it off its neck.

Gathering his courage, Ray went towards it and lower his body down while carrying his hand towards the neck of the orc and was just about to take the amulet off its neck but was when the rolled to the side. Taking his hand at a lightening speed before it will be trapped under the orc body.

Ray sigh in relief before walking back to Ellis.

" Man it's going to be really difficult taking the amulet off it neck without getting rolled under it" said Ray.

" Then try cutting it off the string and let's leave as soon as possible" replied Ellis in a low voice.

Walking back to the sleeping orc, Ray took out his blade and place it on the string that is holding the amulet while holding the amulet with the other hand, Ray was finally able to cut the amulet off the neck of the orc and place it inside the storage ring before walking back to Ellis, and they were just about to walk out of the room when they suddenly heard a sound coming from behind.

" Sniff Sniff Sniff"

" Mm mm, what a pleasant smell that was" mumble the orc while licking his lips.

" Hahaha, look who is enjoying itself" said Ray while laughing.

" That not just a dream, I think the potion has already worn off" replied Ellis with a fearful look on his face.

" Nah I doubt that" said Ray while still looking at the orc who is rubbing his stomach and at the same time licking its lips.

" Come on let's get out of here Before the smell get intense" replied Ellis while leaving the room.

The moment they left the room, the orc opens it eyes and sniff the air again before getting up from the stone bed.

" At long last, there is a human living in the cave with us" said the orc as it open the door in excitement.

Meanwhile, in other parts of the cave the same thing was also happening as the Orcs begin to sniff the air trying to track where the smell is coming from. Making their way towards a particular direction while sniffing along the way.

" Shit, the smell is getting intense" said Ellis when the sound of the orc could be heard coming from their behind.

" Relax man, we have not been to find out you are just overreacting" replied Ray while strolling.

" Humans" shouted Orc who caught sight of them walking in the cave.

" Dammit, we have being caught" yelled Ellis before running at his top Speed.

Ray who was walking at a slow pace and a moment ago was already running ahead of Ellis not even bothering to turn around to see if they were being chased. Its only objective was to get out of the cave.

Before long more Orc has already giving chased the moment they heard the shout of one of their own.

Running at their top speed, they begin to navigate from left to right when ever their way was being obstructed by orcs. After running around the cave being unable to find their way out, Ray sent a flame burst at some group of Orcs that are catching up to them and after some time the flame exploded creating a hole big enough for a person to fit which lead to the outside of the cave.

Making their way through the hole, Ellis and Ray were finally able to get outside of the cave but before they could catch their breath, they saw orcs coming out of the cave with their weapons and started chasing after them.
