Samsara Online Chapter 15
Advertisement
The moment the novice magician saw Xie Feng approaching, he began signaling the other 10 players.
The 11 players, including the novice magician, began to slowly approach Xie Feng in a semi-circle formation.
Shield bearers and warriors in the front, wizards and archers in the back. A typical battle formation used in medieval times: tanks and melee fighters are more resistant than mages who usually use cloth armor and archers who usually use leather armor.
Xie Feng watched everything with indifference. The novice magician stepped forward and said
"Pretty face, you didn't expect this eh?"
Xie Feng simply looked at him as if he were looking at a clown. If Xie Yao were present, she would probably be laughing out loud right now.
The novice magician, unaware of Xie Feng's thoughts, looked at the black ring with blue runes with greed and continued talking:
"If you give up that ring you have I promise to let you go. Otherwise we will not only kill you now, every time you leave the village you will be killed. You won't even be able to leave the novice village."
Xie Feng began to tire of the novice magician's stupidity so he simply shrugged his shoulders and said:
"Even if I gave you the ring, do you think your guild master would let you keep it for yourself?"
When the novice magician heard Xie Feng's words he felt a hammer hit his head.
Yes! Even if he could get his hands on the ring there is no doubt that the guild master will want it for himself!
The novice magician's face became extremely ugly as he realized that he had forgotten something as simple as that. It was also at the moment when greed stopped clouding his thoughts that the magician began to remember the terrifying reflexes and reaction speed that Xie Feng had previously shown.

Just as the thought of retreating began to spring up inside him, Xie Feng's cold voice pulled him out of his thoughts;
"It is too late to leave now...well, if you can leave."
Xie Feng suddenly started running quickly to the 11-player formation and muttered to himself:
"You can all leave dead!"
The formation was composed of 3 guards and 2 warriors, 2 magicians, 2 archers, and 2 priests. It is a formation with a pretty good composition since while Xie Feng concentrates on attacking a guardian, the two priests together with the support of HP potions can keep the health bar of the warrior or guardian always high.
While Xie Feng concentrates on attacking a warrior or guardian from the front, mages and archers can bombard him with arrows and spells from the back without worrying about anything.
At least, that's the idea of the 11 players.
When the novice magician saw Xie Feng running proactively toward the group without any sign of fear or panic on his face, he immediately ordered an attack:
"Archers and magicians, fire! Warriors and guards, keep him at bay! Do not allow him to pass to the back!"
Immediately after saying that, he together with the other mage and the 2 archers shot 2 magic bullets and 2 arrows.
Meanwhile, the warriors and shield keepers advanced to intercept him.
Xie Feng noticed that this group had good knowledge of war since the attack of both magicians and the two archers were launched to block their movements, instead of trying to hit him.
The two arrows were aimed at his left and right while the two magic bullets were aimed at the back and front of his current position.
If Xie Feng remains standing in his position he can easily avoid the attack of the magicians and archers, however this will give the 5 warriors time to surround him. After being surrounded, the mages and archers will be able to attack much more easily.

The novice magician smiled greatly at the sight of Xie Feng being surrounded by a perfect composite attack. However, the next second, his smile froze.
Xie Feng smiled slightly and did not stop his steps for a moment, continuing to advance toward the group with no apparent intention of avoiding the incoming attack.
Just as the magic bullet in the front was about to impact his body, Xie Feng made his body bend at an impossible angle and turned in the air, avoiding the magic bullet by only a few millimeters. But those millimeters seemed to be as great a distance as the distance between heaven and earth.
Although all this may take a long time to explain, in reality it all happened in less than a second!
After successfully avoiding the 4-person pincer attack, Xie Feng continued running towards the warrior formation.
Two warriors stepped forward to intercept him. Just as he was passing by one of the warriors, Xie Feng was hit by an attack and soon heard the sound he was waiting for:
-35
[Ding!...You have been attacked by one of Thunder's group members. During the next 30 minutes you can counterattack.]
The two warriors tried to attack again however they were soon surprised to realize that their target suddenly increased their speed almost double!
The sudden increase in speed is naturally due to a skill of the ring that Xie Feng had not yet used: Fast movement.
Fast movement: Increases movement speed by 50 points for 20 seconds. Cooldown: 2 hours. Consumption: 300 MP
Whoosh!
Xie Feng passed by the two warriors like a whirlwind, leaving them stunned. After passing the two warriors he did not stop and continued to avoid the warriors and shield keepers:
1
2
3!
In only 2 seconds, Xie Feng successfully avoided the 5 warriors and guardians. Now the successful entry to the back line of the formation.
What happens when a player with a high attack comes close enough to a player with low HP and low defense? Naturally the result can only be one: Massacre.
Xie Feng decided that his first priority was to eliminate the priests first, otherwise they could begin to heal: which would be a headache later.
Xie Feng approached one of the two priests taking advantage of the speed boost given by 'fast movement'. Before the priest could react he felt Xie Feng's right hand pressing against his chest.
The priest looked down in a daze and Xie Feng's mocking voice was the last thing he heard:
"Bang."
-300!
A terrifying three-digit number left everyone dazed. The priest fell to the ground helplessly and a piece of equipment dropped from his body.
A voice suddenly pulled them out of their daze:
"Damn it, man! What the fuck is wrong with that damage? Forget it, let me help you! It's no fun if 11...well, 10 players attack 1. Come on, 2 vs 10!"
Xie Feng looked towards the source of the sound and saw a warrior with a iron sword charging towards the 5 warriors with a smile.
Xie Feng used the skill 'inspect' and saw two words floating above the head of the newcomer:
Yang Tian.
