Samsara Online

Chapter 372 Terrifying and dangerous ocean (2-Last)

After observing the surroundings and seeing no danger, Xie Feng finally prepared to go into deep water.

With a thought, the deep blue boots with several black runes glowed slightly as a thick fog enveloped them. Xie Feng could clearly feel how after activating the Frost Walker skill of his Immortal grade boots the temperature one meter around him had abruptly plummeted.

Without even hesitating, Xie Feng began to sprint towards the water. At first he did not notice anything strange because the waters near the coast were simply too flat. However, after going into the ocean for more than twenty meters the effect of the boots became too obvious to be overlooked.

"Woah! This is really interesting! Hahaha!" Xie Feng laughed as he charged forward.

Under his feet, every step he took was immediately backed up by a small platform of ice which prevented his body from actually sinking into the ocean. Looking behind him, he saw the platforms disappear only a second or two after he left the spot.

However, Xie Feng knew that this trip would not be all song and roses. Therefore, although he was having fun, his guard was at its highest point. He dared not be so arrogant as to think he could run rampant in these parts.

Even without activating any skills to boost his movement speed further, his current base movement speed was 142 points, so he could move almost 50% faster than any normal player.

In a matter of a few blinks of an eye, Xie Feng had crossed a distance of a hundred meters from the shoreline. It was then that his first enemy appeared before him.

[Black-Scaled Mutant Fish -

[Level: 15

[HP: 2300

[Description: A mutated beast that possesses the ability to move on land at the cost of losing 70% of its mobility].

The monster was not a simple fish. It was almost two meters long and when it jumped to the surface of the sea its visible height was approximately one meter.

"How is this a fish? It’s practically a baby shark..." Xie Feng muttered to himself as he continued to move forward without slowing down in the slightest.

The Black-Scaled Mutant Fish seemed to be possessed by something as it immediately charged towards him as soon as it saw him.

"You dare to block my path? Go to hell!" Xie Feng sneered and casually stabbed forward with his spear.

Swoosh!

The huge fish only felt a slight pain followed by a gust of wind rushing past it before collapsing silently. A red-figure scoring 3316 points of physical damage silently lifted above the monster’s body floating above the ocean.

Several copper coins fell and floated gently on the water as if waiting for someone to pick them up. However, Xie Feng did not even glance at them and continued to move forward without stopping even for a moment.

The effect of the boots was only 60 minutes, and Xie Feng did not know how deep he had to go. Although it might seem that 60 minutes was more than enough time to reach his destination considering that he had traversed a hundred meters in a matter of seconds, the reality was not so simple.

The Adastreia continent was about the size of planet Earth. With this in mind, Xie Feng could not even imagine how vast the waters of the entire Samsara world were. An hour of time would not give him to do too much if he had to stop at all times; therefore, he decided that he would only stop in extremely necessary cases.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Xie Feng had not even taken ten steps when five two-meter long black-scaled mutant fish appeared in front of him blocking his path.

The fish the size of a grown man swam towards him revealing two rows of huge teeth that did not lose in the slightest to a real shark in the real world.

Unfortunately, such level fifteen beasts presented no danger to practically most players at the current stage of the game, much less were they a danger to Xie Feng.

A red arc flashed for a moment followed immediately by a flash of red light.

Swoosh!

Xie Feng continued to charge deep into the ocean. Behind him, the five mutant fish flopped helplessly, floating on the water with their gaping mouths still open, not even knowing how they had died.

If it wasn’t for the Frost Walker effect of his boots, even Xie Feng would have to be a bit careful when facing numerous sea beasts. After all, in water his movement speed would plummet by practically 70%, leaving him open to many attacks. However, by being able to run on water as if it were flat land, Xie Feng was able to retain his normal movement speed, preventing the possible fate of becoming food for sea fish.

For every ten meters Xie Feng crossed, the number of black-scaled mutant fish slowly but surely increased.

By the time he had crossed one hundred and ninety meters from the shore into the sea, the total number of level fifteen black-scaled mutant fish mutants he had to face was ten at the same time.

"Really scary..." Xie Feng frowned slightly.

Although it had only taken three or four seconds to kill the last ten enemies thanks to the arcing attack every time he swung his spear, thus claiming the lives of more than one black-scaled mutant fish at the same time, Xie Feng quickly noticed how terrifying the ocean of this world was.

He had only crossed a little less than two hundred meters but already he had to face approximately thirty level fifteen monsters. One should know that even a grounded elite player didn’t necessarily have the ability to fight thirty monsters without even having a second to rest, let alone fight such beasts in the water.

"If these monsters decided to invade, wouldn’t humanity be wiped out easily?" Xie Feng shuddered slightly as he weighed it.

Soon, Xie Feng had crossed the initial two hundred meters and a new enemy appeared before him.

[Sawtooth Swordfish: Lord Grade Boss -

[Level: 20

[HP: 12,000

[Description: Its sword-shaped mouth can pierce through almost any defense and its saw-like teeth can easily turn metal into trash.

[Skill(s): Speed Boost / Bleeding Slash].

The huge fish was about ten meters long, with its sword-shaped mouth rising to three meters in length and its height was at least four meters. Its size alone was enough to impress anyone.

The large beast burst out with all its speed from the start and in just two seconds appeared before Xie Feng, slashing downward with its characteristic sword-shaped weapon while opening its mouth wide open.

The smell of fish overwhelmed Xie Feng completely. His expression was unmoved and even before the beast completed its movements his brain worked at astonishing speeds, calculating the trajectory of the enemy’s slash as well as the best option to dodge both attacks.

In a split second, Xie Feng put all his body weight on his right leg and making use of his 300 STR points kicked hard at the small ice platform under the sole of his foot, propelling himself to the left as he stabbed forward with his spear, this time making use of his skill Redemption Stab.

The Sawtooth Swordfish only managed to see a red blur flashing in front of him. Its combined attack hit the water noisily, raising a three-meter-high wave. At the same time, a four-digit damage figure rose above its head.

-6629

When the beast wanted to attack its enemy again, it was too late.

-6627

The monster roared painfully before falling noisily into the water. Some pieces of equipment and several bronze coins fell from its corpse, floating on the water.

Swoosh!

After wasting two seconds to end the life of the Sawtooth Swordfish, Xie Feng simply shot a sidelong glance at the drops before continuing to charge into the distance. In just two seconds, a Lord-grade boss had been slaughtered as if it was a small bug.

In fact, at Xie Feng’s hands, a Lord-grade monster no longer had the qualifications to be called a "Boss", let alone one that was a lower level than him.

Any other normal player would definitely not be able to do something like that; at the very least it would take a group of five normal players of slightly higher level to take on such a monster. After all, the attack damage and movement speed of the Sawtooth Swordfish was really high. It was just that Xie Feng possessed too horrendous attack damage, which disallowed the beast to demonstrate its unique qualities.

Xie Feng didn’t even have time to breathe properly as after advancing about five meters a new species appeared before his eyes blocking his path again.

[Sea Serpent Frost Veins -

[Level: 20

[HP: 3700

[Description: They usually hunt in small groups and are never alone].

Two huge sea serpents whose length easily reached fifteen meters long appeared in front of Xie Feng, baring their terrifying fangs while hissing with their long snake tongues.

So far, Xie Feng had not even gone 1/4 kilometer into the ocean, but he already had to face a Lord-grade Boss and a series of sea monsters attacking in a group with the intention of surrounding the enemy to prevent him from going through.

Faced with such an initial lineup, even Xie Feng felt a little shiver at how terrifying the ocean was.

Although to some extent he already expected that it would not be simple, he never imagined it would be so difficult. Even without going deeper and just looking at the vast and mysterious ocean in front of him, it was as if Xie Feng could see thousands and millions of eyes silently scanning him.
