They marked as to where did they see the holes in the ground. They walked one step at a time. Despite seeing the direction with the holes, they were afraid of slipping on the splattered blood. 

This was another unsolved mystery. Junan bent and voiced both however no one answered in return. They were not there. They walked ahead. 

Jake threw grenade, the darkness vanished for few moments. They looked around and remembered the ground holes. Albert barely saved himself from slipping inside a ground hole. He was standing at the edge. 

"I hope they are not in trouble." Ahram spoke with concern. They were supposed to clear this colony yet got invested in the darkness and the problems which tagged along. 

They might have split to make it hurry however there was possibility that they would get caught by the bigger trouble. They finally walked past half of the ground holes. Now they were standing in front of recently discovered side trap. 

They recognized because it was similarly covered so that they get caught easily. "These ogres are smarter than the previous one." Junan commented seeing the trap. 

They were fortunate to see it when the grenade made light blast. Else they might have fallen in it. "I somehow feel that both fell in this trap." Albert spoke out his observation of little moment. 

Junan and called them, in return he heard vague voice of Clark. As soon as he heard the team head, Clark voiced to tell his location. Both were glad that the team members reached them. Clark came near the ground hole and spoke, "Team Head we found something important perhaps it could lead toward the shredded skin or give any clue." Clark shouted so that Junan could hear him. 

They heard clearly. Junan responded, "Are both of you alright? Where is Sashi? What is important there?" he asked because he also fell in the trap only to be pricked by the thorns. 

The ogres in the surrounding came to know that the team was able to gather again. In fact they could see that team members were communicating. There were many traps set by the various groups of the ogres. Few were ignorant. 

They created traps yet forgot that under the surface there were some paths leading towards the vital points. They were sure that the team members would forever remain lost in the dark. 

It was due to the resolution of the team head that they would not advance further leaving one or two tea members at the mercy of circumstances. This was twice or thrice that his resolution worked in his favor. 

The ogres started gathering around them. They did not want these team members to enter in the same ground hole. The team that set this trap was banished by the other ogres for committing this horrible mistake. 

They were groaning and fighting with each other earlier. Now they gathered around Junan and the team members. This was do or die. They did not want them to walk the path toward the first part of the shredded skin. 

Ahram and Albert got attentive. Jake threw grenade to look at the groups of the ogres. "Holy crap, what is this?" Albert shouted with disgust. The ogres were large in numbers with the blood tainted mouths. They seemed horrible because they perhaps killed other ogres out of anger. Orin shuddered to see their blood thirsty eyes. 

"They are going to tear us apart." He added his words only to increase the intensity in the situation. "We are not slacking here. We can also tear them apart. Isn't it?" Junan stood up. 

He thought to decide later what to do with the findings of the Clark and Sashi. First these ogres needed blood path. "I have plenty of ammunition and the grenades cool down is not higher. Fireworks can surely shake the ogres out of their senses." Jake spoke.  

"If so then sure we will see the fireworks first." Junan chuckled. He held his second weapon waiting for these ogres to make any move. Jake figured out how the weapon would kill most of the groups of the ogres and threw ammunition. 

The blood tainted ogres were moving toward them. They were no more serene because at the end of the colony the Python would crush them eventually. 

As soon as the blast happened the ogres could not find way to retreat. They thought to scare the team members instead they were worried that they would die before damaging the team members or their numbers significantly. 

It was huge drawback. They ran toward Junan and others in their frustration. Jake fired bullets. Albert was ready with the weapon as well. Grenades were like the death penalty for the ogres. 

The blood kept splattering with the fireworks. It also exposed few other traps. The hollow ground shook and fell. The severed skin of the ogres was scattering with the attacks. 

It fairly reduced their numbers. Few alive hide around in hope to attack when the team members would no more remain alert. The ground was turned in craters and the uneven battlefield. 

The clouds above their heads thundered as if ready to fell on them. "Now we can jump in the ground hole to see what is there waiting for us." Junan saw the empty field and commented. 

He was not sure how many traps were waiting in the last colony. But the only concern was ticking time. Their all efforts and struggle would go to waste if they could not defeat Python under the limit of time.  

One by one they jumped in the ground hole after asking the depth from Clark. Fifteen meters were not worrisome for simple jump. They reached the underground. 

Fighting with the boss underground was difficult and they were itching whether some boss was waiting or they could find the shredded skin. "The ogres would also jump inside so two of you should remain alert." Junan knew that many ogres were still alive and waiting for opportunity.
