After leaving the territory of the wild sheep, Xie Feng noticed that the number of players really dropped dramatically.

Xie Feng continued to advance, going deeper into the forest until he finally saw no more players, that was precisely his goal.

Coincidentally, the mission given to him by the village guardian was to hunt level 5 monsters so it couldn't have been better.

Xie Feng soon arrived to an area ruled by level 5 monsters. Monsters under level 5 generally do not take the initiative to attack except in special cases. However after level 5 this changes completely.

Monsters above level 5, unless they are harmless monsters, attack any player or NPC in sight.

Since Samsara Online is a reality game that just opened a few moments ago, this area of the map is equivalent to a forbidden zone or safe death zone for players.

Naturally, there are always exceptions to the rule.

Some players, like Xie Feng, are confident in their ability so they are not afraid to enter red zones on the map.

While other players are simply adventurers who are not afraid of losing levels as long as they can find treasure chests.

According to information from the official forum of Samsara there are several treasure chests distributed throughout the world map waiting to be discovered.

...

North area, Red-eyed Wolf territory.

Xie Feng arrived in the territory of the wolves. These wolves were 5 levels so the whole area could be used freely by him without having to worry too much about someone else stealing his experience.

[Red-eyed wolf]

Level: 5

HP: 200

Note: the power of the devils corrupted the previously friendly wolves. They usually move in packs.

Skills: Laceration: When attacking with its claw it causes loss of 10 HP per second during 5 seconds.

Level 0, with almost no additional attributes of its crude beginner's armor and fighting only level 5 monsters, practically all players of this virtual reality game will think that this is the same as going to knock on the door of death. Even so, this only applied to normal players.

As there was no one else in the area, there were a lot of wolves as no player was cleaning the area. However, no wolves attacked Xie Feng because he had not yet entered their territory.

Xie Feng casually observed his surroundings and found a rock slightly smaller than an adult fist. After taking the rock, Xie Feng threw it to one of the wolves closest to his position.

The stone hit the head of the wolf with precision which caused a red number to float over the head of the mutated animal. This red number represented the amount of damage caused by the attack.

When suddenly attacked, the wolf that was silent a moment ago stood up and looked in the direction of Xie Feng.

The wolf howled furiously and charged at Xie Feng without hesitation.

Xie Feng watched the wolf in silence, estimating its speed of movement.

The base speed of each player is 100, based on which Xie Feng could quickly judge that the wolf's movement speed was approximately 120-130 points.

In other words, when a player is chased by one of these wolves, he has only two options.

Kill the wolf or die. Since running away would be absolutely impossible.

The wolf's howl was not only to show his fury, it was also to call out to its close companions.

Because Xie Feng chose his target well, only one wolf charged extra to him. Even so, two wolves was sure death for any novice level 0 player.

Seeing the two red-eyed wolves running towards him, Xi Feng smiled slightly.

Whoosh!

A sound of wind blew over the place and one of the wolves quickly reached the left side of Xie Feng, striking with its claw.

Xie Feng took a step to the right and at the same time punched the wolf's head.

Because he has no weapon and his chosen path was magic, his physical attack was unfortunately low. Even so, Xie Feng had no intention of killing the wolf right now.

When Xie Feng attacked the wolf on the left, the other wolf came up behind him and bit him on the waist.

Just as the wolf's fang was about to touch him, Xie Feng jumped up, causing his body to be horizontal to the ground while spinning in the air like a rhombus, this movement caused the wolf's attack to miss its target by just one hair.

To dodge in this way, a person needs many things, such as: speed of reaction, terrifying reflexes and mastery over one's body. At least, it is not something a normal person can do.

Xie Feng ran forward and picked up another rock. When he was busy picking up the rock from the ground, the first wolf tried to rip his back with his claw.

Whoosh!

As if he had eyes behind his head, Xie Feng took two steps to the right, making the wolf's attack fail again.

Xie Feng ignored the two wolves and threw the stone at another wolf.

When attacked, the wolf did the same as the previous one: it howled calling the other wolves around and charged towards Xie Feng.

Xie Feng repeated the same action until a total of 10 wolves were furiously chasing him.

After reaching the 10 wolves, Xie Feng was finally having trouble dodging all the attacks so he decided to end it now.

Xie Feng watched as the pack of wolves approached him in a rage. As the wolves entered the 10 meter range, Xie Feng raised his right hand and pointed at the wolves.

Then he activated the ability of the ring:

[Dark Lightning]!

*Auge*

A dark black ray came out of the Ring of the God of Destruction and hit the first wolf.

-255!

((( A/N: 170 base magic damage (150 from the ring + 20 in status points) + 50% increased magic damage (ring effect) = 170 + 85 = 255 )))

When he was hit by lightning, the 200 HP points of the red-eyed wolf were immediately emptied. But the attack wasn't over yet.

-255

-255

-255

-255

...

After the dark lightning hit the first wolf, it extended like a chain of lightning that surrounded everything at 10 meters hitting all the wolves.

In the world of Samsara Online, for the sake of numerous players, attacks do not create any bloody scene which could make players unable to endure it.

Therefore, after the wolves' HP was completely emptied they simply exploded into particles of light. Meanwhile, the drop for killing the monsters fell to the ground.

After killing all the wolves, Xie Feng lightly caressed the ring on his right hand as he sighed and moved step by step toward the drop.

The drop he got from fighting monsters above his level was not as bright, but still better than nothing. What Xie Feng got was:

6 copper coins, 1 sword and 1 pair of pants.

[Curved sword]

Requirement: level 5

Grade: Steel

Properties: Attack +7

[Wolf Pelt Pants]

Requirement: level 5

Grade: Steel

Properties: Defense +5

Currently, Xie Feng was wearing a pair of cloth pants provided by the system. These pants have no properties and their only function is not to be naked everywhere.

Although Xie Feng didn't think that when he will be level 5 he would use the pants he just got, since he will probably get something better, at least he will be able to sell them in the store for some copper coins.

After picking up his reward, Xie Feng looked at his experience bar and saw that it was just under 1/4 full.

Xie Feng shook his head. Facing 10 monsters 5 levels higher at the same time for such a pitiful experience...

Just as Xie Feng was lamenting, he saw that two male players had appeared who knows when and were looking at him with their eyes wide open, stunned.

Xie Feng looked at them with indifference and proceeded to ignore them as he went deeper into the forest.
