Samsara Online-Novel

When Xie Feng got the information and understood how powerful the monster in front of him was, his pupils shrank abruptly as he felt the pressure on his shoulders suddenly become heavier.

Shui Xiu was an NPC that had the strength of an EMPEROR grade boss. Shui Xiu’s level was level 30 just like the giant monster in front of Xie Feng, the only difference between the two was that Shui Xiu was one grade lower than the IMMORTAL rank. However, to Xie Feng’s disbelief and surprise, the difference in strength between the two was like a huge abyss that was impossible to break through.

Shui Xiu only had two hundred thousand health points and if it were not for the skill that he acquired at that moment, Xie Feng could not have defeated him unless the Pearl of Light, which had weakened him but suddenly stopped weakening him, worked again. But the monster in front of his eyes had 2 million health points!

2.000.000!

It was an absurd amount of health! Even if dragons were known for their strong vitality, it was simply unreasonable for the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon to have so much HP! Not to mention Xie Feng, even if millions of players attacked the monster they could never defeat it at this stage of the game!

Leaving aside the terrifying amount of HP, its skills alone were terrifying enough to make anyone freak out.

With ’Earthquake’ the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon had the ability to attack all surrounding players and kill them immediately! After all, using common sense, unless difficult circumstances happen such as acquiring a unique class or a hidden class, no current player would be able to continue on their feet after taking 2500 points of physical damage. They could not even withstand 1900 points of damage from a normal Xie Feng attack, let alone 2500!

With Tail of Thorns, players could forget about the idea of attacking the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon from the back, as its tail was several meters long! Moreover, its usage rate was high so the monster would probably use it as soon as its enemies attacked it from its back.

However, the final skill of the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon even terrified Xie Feng completely.

Poison Breath possessed an overwhelming range of 20*20 meters, which was capable of eliminating tens of thousands of players with a single attack! Even the current Xie Feng would perish horribly when hit by this attack! After all, it was impossible for Xie Feng to resist the loss of 2000 HP per second for twenty seconds. Even using the 5 times HP recoveries that the Pearl of Light provided, with Xie Feng’s current HP, he could only resist the poison erosion for a maximum of twelve seconds.

Eight seconds was more than enough to drain Xie Feng’s 5000 health three or four times without any problem! And that’s only considering that his HP was at its maximum, otherwise, the result would be even more pitiful!

Looking at the remaining time of Wind Barrier, Xie Feng sighed helplessly. In just four more seconds, the barrier’s ten-second duration would reach its limit and the barrier would disappear again. When the barrier that prevented the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon from attacking disappeared, Xie Feng did not have many options on hand.

The only thing Xie Feng was rejoicing about was that his previous skill Dispersion was abolished and supplanted by Wind Barrier, otherwise, with only five seconds of duration, Xie Feng would not be able to do much nor would he have time to think.

"Ling Long, return for now." Xie Feng sighed and shook his head.

"Puh?" Ling Long looked at him blankly.

"Even if I use my strongest attack, we currently don’t have the ability to win." Xie Feng quickly explained. "Besides, in this enclosed place, I can’t move freely. We need to fight on the surface."

After giving a brief explanation, the barrier completely disappeared just as Ling Long turned into a flash of white light and entered the pet space.

Monsters that reached a certain rank had the ability to think and, although at the IMMORTAL rank the monsters still could not think like a normal human being, they could reason a little, unlike the low rank monsters. Precisely because the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon knew that attacking Xie Feng with the Wind Barrier active was a waste of time, it waited patiently.

*Roar!*

Immediately after the obstructing barrier disappeared, the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon roared furiously and attacked Xie Feng without delays!

Fast! The Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon’s attack was really fast! One would think that normally, due to its size, the monster would attack slowly. However, the attack speed of the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon was not in the least inferior to that of a Sword Warrior!

Xie Feng did not even try to block the attack with his spear and jumped aside. The difference in STR was too much for the current Xie Feng to withstand such great power and weight.

*Bang!*

The giant monster’s fist struck the ground, causing it to quake slightly and a cloud of dust rose from the scene.

Feeling the ground beneath his feet trembling slightly, Xie Feng couldn’t help but sweat. If that attack hit him, he would probably be sent flying several meters away!

[Fast Movement!]

[Cloud Path!]

Without hesitation, Xie Feng immediately activated his two movement skills. He even activated Fast Movement, the strongest movement skill he possessed, which increased his movement speed by 50 points for a few seconds. Generally, Xie Feng chose to avoid using it precisely in case of unforeseen events... As was the current case.

By using the two movement skills at the same time, Xie Feng’s speed increased from 121 points to 191 points! Only 9 points away from reaching 200 points of movement speed!

Xie Feng immediately ran out the same way he entered the cave. In order to defeat the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon, certain important conditions had to be met, but the most important of all was that he needed to fight in a wide open space! In confined spaces, the only one at a disadvantage would be Xie Feng because while he and the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon were restricted, the monster possessed AOE skills!

When the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon finally reacted and turned around, Xie Feng was already several meters away. With a furious roar, the monster pursued him relentlessly.

Fortunately, due to the obvious difference in movement speed, the distance between Xie Feng and the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon simply grew larger and larger.

Even when Xie Feng looked back and could no longer see the body of the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon, he could still feel its roars of fury. Clearly, the monster had not given up and continued to pursue him implacably.

After twenty seconds, the 50 points of movement speed increase provided by Fast Movement disappeared and Xie Feng’s speed dropped from 191 to 141.

For the next two hours, he could no longer depend on Fast Movement.

As Xie Feng ran through the corridors without stopping at any time, he soon caught a whiff of that familiar nauseating fishy smell.

He was approaching the poisonous lake!

When Xie Feng came in sight of the pool of contaminated water, he took out a large-sized Red Potion to recover his HP and put it in his mouth. Then, without hesitation, he jumped into the lake and began to swim to the surface.

Leaving the poisonous lake after emptying the HP potion, Xie Feng continued to run forward until he finally felt the weight on his shoulders suddenly disappear.

Xie Feng looked back but could see no trace of the giant monster. He had clearly already left it far behind.

The first thing he did after stopping was to take out a return scroll to Eminentis City and, when that familiar white light gently enveloped him and he felt the scroll in his hands light up, indicating the beginning of the teleportation, Xie Feng sighed in relief.

After taking a last glance back in the direction of the poisonous lake and as if he could see the hidden cave, Xie Feng turned into a ray of light and disappeared from the scene.

What Xie Feng didn’t know was that, instead of continuing to hunt him down, the giant monster’s eyes flashed with a touch of intelligence. Its footsteps stopped and finally after seeming to hesitate it returned to the cave; but instead of slowing down, the monster ran at full speed deeper and deeper, going even deeper from the place where Hu Zheng was.

Where was it going? It was still a mystery.

* * *

-Eminentis City Teleport Point.

As usual, the Teleport Point next to the Resurrection Crystal was crowded with people. Flashes of light were constantly illuminating and more and more players were appearing relentlessly.

*Swoosh!*

Before the surrounding light completely disappeared, the first thing Xie Feng did was to change his equipment to a less eye-catching one and took off the Two-Faced mask that had already become his representative icon.

When the white light disappeared, there was only one more player mingling with the crowd, wearing a tiger mask.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Xie Feng began to walk slowly towards the King’s Palace.

It was time to demand his rewards... A reward that Xie Feng was obviously not satisfied with. But this was also natural. After all, Xie Feng not only completed the mission given by King Hu Yi; he also saved his son!

Xie Feng had a faint smile behind his mask as he thought of what surprises awaited him.
