Samsara Online

Xie Feng felt like raising his head to the sky and roaring loudly at the top of his lungs as if he was a snake that had finally successfully turned into a flood dragon.

Ling Long had just evolved right in front of his eyes! She had gone from Immortal rank to Heaven rank in a matter of minutes... Not only had her stats increased horribly, one of her skills evolved a step further and she also acquired a new one!

Ling Long’s HP increased by a total of approximately ten thousand points, surpassing Xie Feng’s current HP by more than double... Her mana reserves, which in the past had been a small problem, also grew exponentially. Ling Long’s physical damage also increased greatly, she should have approximately 900 points of physical damage at level 25, but currently, her physical attack power was almost three thousand!

Considering that Ling Long’s damage was multiplied by four times due to her four claws, she could cause a total of approximately twelve thousand points of physical damage per second! Furthermore, with Ling Long’s terrifying movement ability as well as her ability to send enemies flying, she had automatically turned into a killing machine... In fact, the current Xie Feng wasn’t very confident that he could beat Ling Long in a 1vs1 unless he used ALL of his powerful skills... And by all included Green Flame, an skill that Xie Feng had only used once so far since he got it.

That’s how terrifying the current Ling Long was... Furthermore, for unknown reasons that Xie Feng had no way of knowing currently, she also acquired a fair amount of magic damage... Ling Long’s magic damage was always 0 but it was currently 3000!

Claw of Annihilation, the evolved skill of Calamity Claw, was simply too terrifying a skill... When activated, it not only increased Ling Long’s physical damage by 100%, it also increased the chance of a critical hit being activated by 50%! As if all of the above wasn’t enough, Annihilation Claw also had a 100% chance of causing scene destruction and a 5% chance of activating the terrifying instant death effect... Could a skill be scarier than this?

Although the instant death effect depended on the difference in levels and grade to activate (as happened with Xie Feng in the Beginner Village), that 5% was enough for Ling Long to kill normal monsters above her level without too much trouble much faster than normal. This would undoubtedly shoot Xie Feng’s leveling speed up a notch.

As for the Aquatic Freedom skill... Well, Xie Feng could only say that the current Ling Long had become an all-terrain mount-pet... She could move on land, fly through the skies, and swim through the seas like it was nothing. If this wasn’t an ATV then what was it?

Besides, Ling Long had evolved right after gaining 30% water resistance... So where did that 30% come from? After all, she hadn’t eaten any divine elements or anything similar in the past.

Xie Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at the blue-colored pearl on his hand with a smile. Before he could not think of such a thing since the situation was different, but now he was definitely sure that Ling Long’s resistances increased depending on his own resistances; at the same time, this was linked to the pearls.

For example: when Xie Feng and Ling Long met, he already had immunity against the wind element and had also acquired the Pearl of Light, which gave him 60% light resistance ... When Ling Long came out of that strange egg, she already possessed immunity against the wind, which greatly surprised Xie Feng; after all, obtaining immunity in one element was practically impossible, at least Xie Feng never heard of a human being, whether NPC or player, who had achieved such a feat. After all, increasing resistance against an element was by no means easy. But Ling Long not only possessed immunity to wind, but she also happened to have 30% light resistance while the rest of her resistances were 0%. This caught Xie Feng’s attention; after all, she had 30% light resistance, just half of what the Pearl of Light gave Xie Feng.

At the time he hadn’t given it much thought, after all, Xie Feng didn’t know anything about pearls or Ling Long... But now that he obtained the Pearl of Frozen Water, Ling Long’s water resistance increased by 30% as if by magic... Xie Feng did not believe that this was a coincidence.

Without anyone telling him, only obtaining clues by himself, Xie Feng had just silently received another reason why he should seek and obtain control over all the legendary pearls. He currently possessed two pearls, knew the whereabouts of the third and knew the method of getting it... Now he had only to work hard to find the remaining four.

Destiny was really a terrifying, mysterious, incalculable, unexpected thing... But also interesting and beautiful to some extent.

Xie Feng never sought the Pearl of Light, nor did he expect to encounter the Pearl of Frozen Water here, in this frozen world, of all places... But as if the threads of destiny were silently weaving a path for him, as if everything was arranged for him to find what he was meant to find, everything appeared before him, one by one.... What he needed was strength to overcome the obstacles that awaited him at the end of the road.

It could be said that Xie Feng’s attack power was already quite high, though not too high considering he relied too much on forbidden skills and spells that could only be used once per day, his slaughter power was definitely frightening... But his health points on the other hand...

Xie Feng looked at his current HP with a frown.

HP: 3420/6840

As a side effect of using a forbidden skill, Consecutive Light Strikes, Xie Feng’s HP dropped straight down by half. This effect was unavoidable for him, so for six hours his HP had dropped to approximately the same amount of health as a normal warrior would have. But even if his HP had not decreased, Xie Feng’s concern was the same.

The current him could not withstand even a single attack from a powerful enemy like the Thousand Ice Cocatrix. If not for Ling Long and his luck, he and the rest would have had no choice but to retreat silently with their shoulders slumped in defeat.

He needed to increase his HP, and he knew that by obtaining the Pearl of Earth this could be solved to a great extent. But still, to obtain the Pearl of Earth he first had to obtain the Purity Crystal and hand it over to Xiao Lei; when the old man swore loyalty to him, he would be able to obtain the pearl.

Unfortunately, Xie Feng still needed to find the Heaven of Samsara, reach the 20th floor, and obtain the crystal... Technically he hadn’t even officially started the mission yet but time was slowly but surely running out.

And even if he had one of the legendary medicinal crystals, Xie Feng would first use it on his beloved, so things were very difficult.

In the end, he just shook his head and sighed to himself... He would have to find other ways to increase his health at least temporarily.

...

After waving to Xie Yao and the rest, they continued to move forward for ten minutes until they finally saw a small blue portal, almost completely camouflaged with ice.

Xie Feng looked at the small beast walking beside him and a smile rose on his lips.

"Puuh!"

Now that he obtained the Pearl of Frozen Water, Ling Long also didn’t suffer from cold in freezing environments, so she could finally walk beside him along with everyone else.

"Come on, let’s get it over with!"

Leaving those few words behind, he was the first to walk through the portal. Soon, Ling Long, Xie Yao, Gu Qianxue, Hu Chen, Yue Kai, and Xiao Luo, followed him.

The World of Snow and Rocks, a special event dungeon that probably no one else would return to unless they managed to find the method, was once again silent of human voices.

The only permanent sound was that of the wind lashing the place as well as the pure white snow dancing in the breezes of frozen air.

* * *

After going beyond the blue portal, a whole new world awaited the group of seven consisting of six humans and a strange species of dragon.

"Finally no more cold..."

"Fortunately..."

Gu Qianxue and Xie Yao breathed out in relief as they saw the grassland surrounded by pink flowers adorning the green ground and the trees swaying gently in the warm breeze of the wind; an absolute contrast to the world they came from.

However, none of them could appreciate the beauty of the place too much because there was something that caught everyone’s attention. This map did not seem to be big at all; there was a large copula surrounding the place and, although they could appreciate the blue sky above their heads, they did not know exactly where they were... They didn’t even know if this was part of the Adastreia Continent or not.

But what caught everyone’s attention was a gigantic jet black door. The door was located right in the center of the map, completely closed, and in the center of the door were five hollow spaces.

"Finally the last group arrived."

A casual voice sounded from the side, drawing the eyes of Xie Feng and the rest.

"Oh?"

Xie Feng raised an eyebrow in surprise, he hadn’t expected that so many people had already arrived before them.

The person who had spoken a few moments ago was Yao Zenyu. Next to him was the Empress of Fire Yao Mei, Definitive Arrow, who was considered the best archer of the Chinese server, as well as a priestess that Xie Feng didn’t know; four people in total... Apparently, things were not easy for them either.
