Samsara Online

"Ling Long, ready for your revenge?"

Xie Feng asked as he waved his spear above his head.

"Puh, puuh!"

As for Ling Long, she responded energetically as she gently licked her small claws. Her dark eyes had an excited but at the same time terrifying shine in them. It was like a wild beast that had finally awakened after years of slumber.

Seeing this, Xie Feng smiled slightly and nodded:

"Good! Then let's go for it!"

Leaving those words behind, Xie Feng activated Cloud Path, which increased his movement speed by 20 points. Now, Xie Feng's movement speed was only slightly lower than the 150 points of movement speed Ling Long had.

The Dark Forest was a really big place, like all the different special places in Samsara Online. The Adastreia Continent, in other words, the area where all the Chinese players were located, was big enough like a real continent of Planet Earth but to a lesser extent. After all, aside from China's billion-plus inhabitants, the game also had billions of monsters, gigantic cities, and millions of NPCs; just in Eminentis City alone the amount of NPCs that Xie Feng had seen probably numbered a few hundred thousand.

The Samsara Online world was like the real world; a world with its inhabitants, homes, customs, rules, and so on.

After running in a straight line for a minute or two, Xie Feng finally felt the fog in front of him moving. The movement was so small that anyone would have missed it, but Xie Feng had already become accustomed to the slightest change in the movement of the mist surrounding the place as it was indicative of an attack.

Raptor Tongue!

Xie Feng put strength into both feet and jumped gracefully to the side, evading the Thorny Toad's attack for just a mere inch.

"Ling Long!" He didn't even look at the attacking monster and instead urged the little pet that was following closely behind him.

"Puh, puuh, puuuh!" Ling Long also seemed to notice her hated enemy hiding in the thick fog. Her eyes seemed to have a flame of anger and humiliation burning within them.

Without hesitation and even before Xie Feng's words were finished, Ling Long shot out toward the Thorny Toad that was in the midst of the fog.

Although Xie Feng did not know the origin of Ling Long's birth, it was impossible for a beast that was being protected and kept in the deepest part of a cliff that was several kilometers deep by the Light Saint Dragon to be an ordinary beast. Ling Long's body was as small as a cat but even then she was treated with care and even fear by one of the strongest existences that existed in the whole Adastreia Continent.

Ling Long also did not know where she was from. She did not know who her parents were, nor did she know how she was born, but she was very proud and arrogant at the same time; this was a typical quality of all dragons, but in Ling Long's case this quality was expressed to a greater grade. Although she only awakened when Xie Feng appeared at the bottom of the cliff, Ling Long had consciousness for so many years that she could not remember. It was as if instead of just being born, she had been waiting for the right moment to come out of the cocoon that enveloped her.

The first time Ling Long fought with her master, she had a lot of fun. Her master was very strong, each movement of his spear eliminated several enemies; even when the number of enemies was several thousand and outnumbered her master, they were still all easily slaughtered by him. She was proud to have such a strong master. Therefore, she also helped him to kill those weak enemies. Although her master was stronger than her, Ling Long was not sad about it, she was happy.

However, the second time she and her master fought side by side, she was defeated. A monster even smaller than her defeated her easily and her attacks that she was so proud of could not hurt her enemy... How could she be willing? How could she allow herself to be a burden to her master?

She had to redeem herself! She had to slay the enemy in front of her to prove that she was worthy of following such a powerful master!

*Swoosh!*

The attack of the toad hidden in the mist resumed immediately. Only this time, the target of the attack was Ling Long. However, unlike the previous attacks, this time the mist several meters around dispersed completely, finally revealing the entire body of the hidden monster.

It was a toad. But unlike the Thorny Toads that Xie Feng had encountered on his path since entering the Dark Forest, this toad was noticeably larger.

With a body of the size of a dog, the toad in front of Xie Feng was completely green in color. It had several strange spots on top of its body that swelled up and then became small once again; it was extremely disgusting to look at.

"Ling Long, wait!"

Seeing the information of the monster that was just a few meters away, Xie Feng couldn't help but try to stop Ling Long. The Fatal Poison Toad not only had powerful instant damage and poisonous skills, but it also had so much HP that it was almost half the amount possessed by the boss that Xie Feng defeated in the Trial mode Despair when he was still in the Beginner's Village, even though it was a monster two ranks lower!

However, for first time, Ling Long did not listen to him.

Ling Long continued to rush forward while keeping her gaze fixed on her enemy. Even if the size changed, none of that mattered to her; better yet, the stronger the enemy, the more Ling Long wanted to crush it completely!

Seeing the Fatal Poison Toad open its mouth, Ling Long began to flap the small pair of wings behind her back.

*Swoosh!*

The tongue seemed to hit Ling Long's body, however, Xie Feng soon noticed that what the fatal poisonous toad's attack had hit was only a remnant image. Ling Long had activated her movement skill! Although Instant Flap drained 5% of Ling Long's MP for each use, the power that the skill granted by increasing movement speed 500 points was simply immeasurable in comparison!

*Wooosh!*

Ling Long appeared right in front of the Fatal Poison Toad. The friendly smile that was always on her face was gone and in its place was an angry look.

Without delay, Ling Long raised her right claw and slashed downward.

-720, -730, -726, -733!

The same situation where Ling Long's attacks did not hit the enemy as in the previous case did not happen again.

Seeing Ling Long's physical attack damage, Xie Feng's mouth opened wide and a look of disbelief shone in his eyes.

In just one second, the amount of damage Ling Long caused by using Calamity Claw was almost 3000 points! 3000 points of damage in just one second was even much higher than Xie Feng's normal attack! With such a terrifying attack, except for him, Xie Feng didn't believe that another player could resist Ling Long's blows!

While Xie Feng was amazed and delighted, the battle continued.

The Fatal Poison Toad had a strange sparkle in its eyes as it opened its mouth again and attacked with its tongue a second time. The toad's movements were extremely fast and at such a close distance the chances of avoiding the attack were practically nil.

However...

*Wooosh!*

The small pair of wings behind Ling Long's back flapped violently and she disappeared once again.

*Bang!*

The monster's attack hit the ground in front of its eyes and raised a cloud of dust, which obstructed its view for a small second. But Ling Long didn't let it pass and quickly attacked again; this time using both claws at the same time!

-735, -724, -720, -731

-719, -732, -726, -732

Under the premise of using her two claws and consuming twice as much mana, Ling Long's attack drained over 5800 health points from the Fatal Poison Toad! Added to the previous attack, the boss monster had already lost a total of 8728 health points, almost a third of the total!

"That's Ling Long! Kill it!"

Xie Feng, who finally came out of his daze, shouted loudly cheering for his traveling partner.

*Gulp*

Suddenly and without warning, the Fatal Poison Toad let out a strange sound and the spots on its body swelled up rapidly. Seeing this, Xie Feng's gaze changed.

Clearly, the Fatal Poison Toad was about to use its strongest attack skill Poison Blast! The problem was that Ling Long had only 3600 health points, in other words, the little pet could not resist draining 1000 health points for 5 seconds!
