Samsara Online-Novel

Strong winds howled through the icy lands and the snow that covered the ground was constantly sent flying everywhere. The dense fog coupled with low temperatures capable of freezing the bones of anyone who stayed too long in the place created a dangerous and lonely environment that no one would like to face unless they had no other options to choose from.

Even after a long time, the place was silent and no life forms could be seen walking around. Soon, however, things changed.

Amidst the dense fog of freezing wind and ice particles as well as countless snowflakes constantly falling from the sky, five silhouettes could be vaguely seen in the distance advancing slowly but surely. The five silhouettes were of different sizes but overall they all had a somewhat similar outline, which explained that they were all a group of the same race. Soon, their bodies could be seen more clearly after they got closer and anyone who saw them would immediately know that they consisted of five humans. Three males and two females. The men were handsome and the women were beautiful enough to take the breath away from any living creature.

Each member of the five-person group had a hand in front of their faces in an effort to block the snow that was constantly falling on their faces and blocking the clarity of their vision. Although the steps they took were heavy as they had to fight against the snow that stuck to their feet, none of them faltered for a single second and their steps never stopped.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a sixth person appeared in the distance and ran swiftly towards the group of five as if running away from something.

"Hey! More of those things are coming fast!"

After the shout of the only assassin and scout in the group, everyone immediately stopped their steps and took up their respective positions. Their movements were agile and free of any apparent discomfort; as if they had trained for a long time together to perform such a performance.

In truth, they had not trained together. The specific reason why the movements of the members of this group were so orderly and fluid was because they had been fighting shoulder to shoulder for many hours at a time with practically no rest. Each member already knew what each of their teammates was strong or weak in and they acted accordingly to fill the gap, resulting in an excellent performance.

In the distance and approaching quickly, more than ten silhouettes could be seen. Similar to humans, the ten approaching silhouettes walked on two legs and had two arms which gave them a somewhat humanoid appearance; however each of them was three meters tall.

"Everyone, be careful and don’t get enclosed!" The man who was advancing in front and apparently the leader of the group shouted loudly before rushing forward to confront the new threat.

Of course, this group of people was the party consisting of Xie Feng and the rest. They had been walking in this frozen world for almost twelve hours, only stopping to defeat the monsters blocking the way and even continued to move forward while eating something to satisfy the hunger they felt. At this point, the weather was so bad that the snow that previously buried their feet had almost completely disappeared and what could be seen in the surroundings was ice, ice that had accumulated so much that its color was deep blue like the ocean.

During the twelve hours that had passed since they had entered the World of Snow and Rock, Xie Feng and the rest had faced different types of monsters; from wolf-like animals and strange creatures that looked like electric penguins, to three-meter giants like the one in front of them right now.

[Frozen Yeti -

Level: 27

HP: 3400

Description: A massive and very territorial beast. Its movement speed is slow but its strength is immensely high!

Weakness: Fire Resistance: -40%.

(Innate):

Frozen Environment: Temperatures around the Frozen Yeti decrease drastically. Effect: Decreases the enemy’s movement speed depending on their water resistance.

(Skill(s)):

Frost Chain: Can use the ice in its surroundings to create a long, strong chain. Effect: Throws a chain of frost that immobilizes the enemy for 1-5 seconds depending on their water resistance.]

The group of six had faced a group of Frozen Yetis before and knew that they were not easy to deal with. Although the Frozen Yeti possessed no attack skills, even though the monster’s movement speed was embarrassingly slow, its skills to limit enemy movement were terrifying.

"Tsk..."

Xie Feng clicked his tongue as he approached one of the Frozen Yetis. Thanks to the passive effect of the coats he had bought from Number Ten earlier, the yeti’s passive aura didn’t work against any of them, however, their weapons were something else. Just by approaching Xie Feng could feel the Calamity Spear freeze slightly, thus causing his hands to freeze as well which made it difficult to maintain a firm grip.

Roar!

The nearby yeti roared and raised both arms above its head before smashing them with all its might against the enemy in front of it.

Boom!

The hard ground formed by ice and barely a layer of snow rumbled. A dense cloud of snow billowed into the air, blocking the monster’s view for a second.

Swoosh!

Xie Feng leaped from inside the cloud, surprising the monster. However, before the beast could react, he stabbed forward. Only, unlike before, this time he was using Redemption Stab.

-4300

The first Frozen Yeti couldn’t even roar in pain before collapsing with a thud on the ground, raising another layer of snow. The monster could not withstand the attack even though the damage caused by Xie Feng had been reduced by approximately sixty points.

Redemption Stab dealt double the damage of a normal attack, had no cooldown time, and only consumed 15 MP per use. Generally, Xie Feng did not use it since a normal hit was enough to finish off any enemy, however, he not only could not finish off the yetis’ lives in one hit; the bigger problem was that he knew how troublesome these three-meter tall monsters could become if given time to organize themselves!

The first time the group of six encountered the Frozen Yetis, there were only five yetis but Hu Chen was almost killed. The reason Xie Feng told them not to allow them to be encircled before the battle began was because these cunning monsters always tried to form a circle around their enemies and freeze them all by throwing Frost Chains! Earlier, while Hu Chen was being endlessly frozen, one of the yetis was beating him and if not for Gu Qianxue’s timely interruption he would have died.

Xie Feng did not delay and immediately after completely draining the health bar of one of the yetis he moved on to another target.

Unlike the previous Frozen Yeti, the second yeti suddenly stomped the ground beneath his feet, and as if by magic a thick and long blue chain appeared in its hands.

The monster roared furiously and threw the chain towards Xie Feng in an overpowering rush.

Unfortunately for the beast, Xie Feng had already predicted that move from the first moment the yeti lifted its feet so with a simple step to the left he barely but successfully escaped from being chained.

"Haap!" Xie Feng jumped high into the air and with an expert swing stabbed the eye of the ten foot giant.

-4330

-4330

-4330

The beast let out a miserable roar after receiving triple damage from the activation of the Calamity Spear’s special skill and collapsed on the ground helplessly just like its previous companion.

As before, Xie Feng did not even stop for a second and dashed towards the third Frozen Yeti, ending the monster’s life only a moment later. In the short time of five seconds, Xie Feng had already ended the lives of three levels 27 monsters!

However, even then he was not at ease. With a frown, he headed towards the fourth target while giving a quick glance towards the other battlefield and, as he expected, things were not as simple for the others as they were for him; even though most of the enemies had focused on him since he had been the one who initiated the attack and attracted the most agro, his party members were having some difficulties.

The group consisting of Xie Yao and the rest were currently facing three Frozen Yetis.

"Dark Arrow!" Gu Qianxue waved her magic staff and a meter-long arrow shot out towards the nearest enemy.

-890

With Gu Qianxue’s magic damage close to 500 points and considering that Dark Arrow dealt 200% magic damage, she should deal almost 1000 points of damage. However, Gu Qianxue was currently level 18 which lowered her damage against an enemy that was almost ten levels higher; even though the Frozen Yeti was just a normal monster.

The yeti that was hit by Gu Qianxue’s attack seemed to be completely enraged as its eyes turned red as if it had received some kind of stimulation. Like a wild lion that was robbed of its mating partner, the Frozen Yeti roared furiously and ran towards the little beauty.

At this point, Xie Yao and the rest were facing the other two Frozen Yetis, so Gu Qianxue could not count on the help of either of them.

However, no signs of nervousness could be seen on the beautiful face of the innocent and seductive girl. With a charming smile and a touch of mockery, she waited for the monster to come closer.
