Samsara Online-Novel

After walking for about an hour, after forcing his own feet out of the snow that bound them, Xie Feng had finally come to the conclusion that the words of Number Ten, the mysterious merchant he had met earlier, were true. If it weren’t for the special characteristics of the Burning Yeti Pelt Coat he bought, forget about the rest; even Xie Feng himself would have already frozen to death after being exposed to such crazy weather for so long.

Even if he consumed health potions continuously, the potions to regenerate health were limited so it was impossible to resist the low temperatures forever using that method. Worst of all, earlier, Xie Feng had taken off his coat to check the surrounding temperatures and was terrified to discover that instead of losing five health points per second, he was losing twenty! This meant that as they went deeper into this strange world, the temperatures were getting lower and lower!

"Who could survive in this place without clothes like the ones we’re wearing?" Gu Qianxue asked as she huffed and watched her own breath freeze after leaving her body.

"I’m not sure... But at the very least, a human being definitely couldn’t." Xie Yao shook her head, which caused small snowflakes to fall to the ground, and replied.

"Even if there were people here, I don’t think everyone has the luxury of being able to spend twenty million gold coins every seventy-two hours." Xie Feng smiled bitterly and recalled. "Besides, who knows where that mysterious salesman will show up again or in what place.... More importantly, since the race from which these coats are made is dying out, it’s impossible for the number of coats to be unlimited."

"Hey! Something’s coming!"

While everyone was chatting, Xiao Luo, who was the only assassin in the group and was scouting the nearby surroundings by using the Stealth skill, rushed over and warned.

The group of five stopped chatting and immediately moved into battle position with Xie Feng and Hu Chen in front and Gu Qianxue, Xie Yao, and Yue Kai in the rear.

"Sorry..." Xie Yao apologized as she stood at the back of everyone.

Xie Feng looked at her with a smile and said in a natural tone, "You still feel mad that you don’t have healing or attack skills? Yaoyao, do you think our team lacks attack power?"

Xie Yao blinked and after thinking about it for a moment she could only shook her head. With Xie Feng there was already enough attack power; but next to him was Gu Qianxue who could cast powerful dark energy arrows which caused double the normal damage, there was also the Hu Chen trio with high quality equipment so their damage certainly couldn’t be ignored.

Seeing her nod, Xie Feng gave her a gentle smile and remarked, "Right. We have enough magic and physical attack power over here.... But only you can revive the fallen. Even I would need to be revived by you, after all even I couldn’t fight a level thirty Immortal beast alone. So be more confident, your role here is not inferior to anyone else’s!"

Xie Feng’s words seemed to frown correctly since Xie Yao’s beautiful dark eyes shone like stars in the night sky. In fact, even Xie Feng could not fight alone against an Immortal grade level thirty beast and the only reason why he was able to defeat the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon back then was because the beast was being held back which gave him enough time to prepare a powerful attack under optimal conditions and, of course, a lot of luck.

Seeing Xie Yao’s face finally free of worries, Xie Feng finally smiled in relief and turned his attention to the north.

In the distance and approaching at very fast speeds, still hidden by the dense fog formed by the cold wind and snow, several silhouettes about a meter tall could be distinguished in a blur. Even from such a distance, Xie Feng could tell that they were agile beasts.

"They are definitely wolf-like beasts. Be careful, it looks like they are already used to the ice and snow because they move really fast!" Xiao Luo exclaimed loudly before disappearing into Stealth once again, waiting for the opportunity to save a teammate or deliver a fatal strike to their enemies.

[Golden-Eyes Water Dogs -

Level: 20

HP: 2500

Description: A beast of the wolf race. Their white pelage is extremely gorgeous, making them beautiful but at the same time dangerous beings due to their high ability to blend in with their surroundings.

(Innate Skill):

Camouflage (Passive): They usually stand quiet, waiting for their prey to approach before taking them by surprise. Effect: Has 70% chance of going unnoticed by an enemy as long as it doesn’t come within two meters range.]

"Hahaha." Xie Feng laughed and moved forward to meet the Water Dogs. Meanwhile, he shouted towards nowhere in particular, "Hey, Xiao Luo! Looks like these animals gave you quite a scare eh!?"

Xiao Luo, who was hiding, blushed when his secret was exposed. In fact, earlier, as he was slowly advancing forward exploring the surroundings, he was surprised when more than four direwolves suddenly jumped towards him without warning. At that moment he was so scared that he almost peed his pants when he saw the fierce gaze of the monsters at such close range!

Xie Feng quickly closed the distance between him and the Golden-Eyes Water Dogs. With a swift and skillful move, the Calamity Spear in his hand turned into a crimson snake shooting forward and biting at his enemy without hesitation.

-2176

Considering the relatively high amount of health of the Golden-Eyes Water Dogs, Xie Feng was unable to finish them off with a single attack. However, he already knew this from the beginning so, after a single attack, he quickly stepped to the side evading the bite of the Golden-Eyes Water Dog that he had just attacked.

Surprisingly, Xie Feng ignored the direwolf that had low health and advanced forward to attack another one. However, just as the first direwolf was about to chase after the hateful human that had injured it, a person stepped out of the shadows like a ghost.

"This is... REVENGE!" Xiao Luo shouted as he stabbed his dagger into the neck of the direwolf.

-824! (Critical Hit!)

The direwolf, who was not expecting the sudden arrival of another enemy, let out a howl of pain before collapsing on the ground.

-2166

Meanwhile, Xie Feng had hit another Golden-Eyes Water Dog and, just like before, ignored it after a single attack while moving towards his third target.

"Hey, why did you let out a scream like that? It’s embarrassing man!" Yue Kai complained. But even as he complained he pulled his bowstring back and activated one of the skills that only archers possessed; Explosive Arrow.

Swoosh!

The seemingly normal arrow streaked across the skies and caught the direwolf chasing Xie Feng off guard, hitting it in the butt.

-250

The Golden-Eyes Water Dog howled in pain and turned around to attack the culprit.

"Don’t look at me with those puppy eyes. It won’t work on me." Yue Kai shook a finger from side to side and then, a small bang completely stopped the animal’s movements coming towards him.

-342

Explosive Arrow, as the name suggested, was a skill that exploded after being in contact with its target for three seconds, causing approximately 30% more damage compared to normal arrow damage!

Using the same method as before, Xie Feng left the third direwolf half dead and Hu Chen finished it off with a swing of his sword.

Now there was only one more direwolf left, however, when everyone looked for it, they were surprised as they could not find it anywhere.

Xie Feng looked at his three friends with a confused expression and asked, "Hey, Xiao Luo, weren’t there four direwolves?"

Xiao Luo appeared next to Xie Feng and shrugged, "Don’t tell me.... Better look behind you."

Xie Feng and the rest followed Xiao Luo’s words. In fact, when they looked behind them they finally found the fourth direwolf that at some point during the battle seemed to have slipped away.... However, when they saw the situation the direwolf was in, they were all speechless.

A beautiful woman, with a body that could only be described as demonically seductive, was laughing softly while gently stroking the beautiful white fur of a dog-like beast.... Wasn’t this the Golden-Eyes Water Dog!?

Xie Feng silently approached and observed the scene not knowing whether he should cry or laugh, "My beloved Qianxue, can you tell me what you are doing?"

That’s right! Gu Qianxue was playing with the wild beast as if it was a small tame rabbit!

"Oh well, there are only a few seconds left anyway." Gu Qianxue lamented and stood up. Looking at the cute little direwolf that was staring at her with dazed eyes, she whispered, "Sorry, Little White..."

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Although Gu Qianxue was apologizing, her actions did not even waver when in a span of six seconds she fired three Dark Arrows towards the helpless animal that was still staring at her with dazed eyes. The beast, with no defense whatsoever, collapsed to the ground and some coins along with other objects fell to the ground.

"And to think that such a powerful control skill would be used like that..." Xie Yao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry either as she saw the dead direwolf on the ground.

Of course, Gu Qianxue was mind controlling the beast and, as if that wasn’t enough, she had even named it!
