Samsara Online Chapter 226 Antidote and Immortal Stele

For the first time since the moment Xie Feng obtained the Ring of the G.o.d of Destruction, he could clearly feel the ring on his right hand warming up slightly and then cooling down only to become warm again; it was like a playful little infant constantly blinking its eyes to show its joy.

Although it was not immediate, it would probably be a matter of a few hours before the results would be seen. Xie Feng was so excited that he couldn't wait to see if his suspicion was true or not! If the Ring of the G.o.d of Destruction really did break free from one of the seals, it would surely become much more powerful and Xie Feng was impatient to see the results! Even though he knew that getting excited in this case would cause disappointment in case things didn't turn out as he expected, it was inevitable since Xie Feng was a young man of only twenty years old.

"Em?" Xie Feng suddenly frowned. After calming down, he had finally noticed that something was out of place.

It wasn't only Xie Feng who had realized that something was wrong. Yao Zenyu and the rest, as well as many other players also calmed down and began to look at each other in confusion.

"This... Why doesn't the system announce the end of the mission?" One Man Army asked hesitantly.

"Shouldn't it have ended after defeating that Immortal beast?" Mu Wuying also looked confused. Until now, her gaze had not left Xie Feng's body.

On the other hand, while everyone was arguing with each other, Yao Zenyu had a complex gaze that was hard to describe. Although he was relieved and glad that the Poisonous Commodus Dragon was finally defeated and killed, although the weight he felt on his shoulders knowing the consequences of the failure, Yao Zenyu could not help but feel a bitter taste in his mouth.

Yao Zenyu always saw his younger sister Yao Mei as the most powerful. Even in the past virtual reality games, Yao Mei was the absolute queen of PVP and the main level tables. However, since Samsara Online started, this person named s.h.i.+va appeared out of nowhere like a ghost in broad daylight and performed feats that everyone would normally consider impossible. Even now, although Yao Mei and all the players present undoubtedly took a great deal of credit for the victory, it was also undeniable that if it weren't for s.h.i.+va's last attacks in which the boss took critical damage, it would be impossible for them to obtain victory.

However, thinking about the two powerful skills previously demonstrated by Yao Mei, Yao Zenyu suddenly felt much better. Yes, s.h.i.+va possessed physical attack damage that could only be described as devastating, however, his HP was still low; even with over four thousand health, Yao Zenyu was certain that unless s.h.i.+va grew wings he could not leave the area of effect of the spell Yao Mei used to sweep away the mobs of monsters. If Yao Mei used that fire beast against s.h.i.+va... then he would not be able to withstand a single attack.

"It could be..." Xie Yao, who had not yet spoken and was looking at how confused everyone was, suddenly pointed out, "Could it be that the system has not yet announced the success of the mission because the other gates are still fighting while we are chatting here?"

Everyone: "..."

Everyone stared at her with their mouths open and an awkward silence spread throughout the place.

"*cough*... Let's go help the rest." One Man Army coughed to shake off the awkwardness that hung in the air and suggested.

In the end, they all nodded silently and began moving towards the gates; west, east, and south.

The gate that concerned everyone was the south gate since only Yang Tian was there. However, since there was still no sign of chaos or a call for help, everyone a.s.sumed that somehow, he managed to kill or at least defend against a few thousand levels 20 monsters...

On the other hand, while most of them headed for other gates, Xie Feng silently approached the corpse of the Poisonous Commodus Dragon and began to use his gathering skill.

[Ding!... Your gathering skill has failed.]

[Ding!... You have successfully gathered 'Thousand Poison Antidote'.]

Xie Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he finally acquired the antidote to save little prince Hu Zheng's life. Although the mission had no punishment for failure, after all the effort Xie Feng had put in to save the boy's life would make him feel bad if the little boy died because of the poison. Fortunately, the Poisonous Commodus Dragon saved Xie Feng the trouble of having to go looking for it again and think of some way to drag it out of those caves.

Seeing that the system had not yet said that the picking was finished and curious, Xie Feng continued.

[Ding!... Your gathering skill has failed.]

[Ding!... Your gathering skill has failed.]

[Ding!... Your skill...]

[Ding!... You have successfully gathered 'Immortal Stele (1)'.]

[Ding!... You can't gather anything else.]

Xie Feng blinked several times, confused, "What is this...?" Looking at the object in his hands, he didn't know how to react.

[Immortal Stele (1): Part of a rock. It is said that if all the pieces are put together and brought to the right place, the gates to heaven will be opened and the truth will be revealed.]

The object was a kind of rectangle, but with a semi-circle on one side, it was clearly incomplete; it was as if it were an unfinished puzzle. In addition, the description of the object did not help in the least to know what was the function of the stele.

In the end, after thinking for a while and without coming up with an answer, Xie Feng simply threw the incomplete rock into his inventory. Since he could do nothing about it, he temporarily put it aside.

Xie Feng approached the group slowly.

The original members of the group formed before the beginning of the wave were standing there, some of them silently, some of them chatting with each other, and some of them giving orders through the communication tool. In addition to the initial members, Yao Mei was also there. However, Xie Feng frowned and noticed that the girl's face was a bit off; although Yao Mei maintained an indifferent att.i.tude, her eyes had lost their sparkle and her body was slightly swaying, looking as if a breeze of wind could sweep her away at any moment.

As for Kali, she was still in the group but had already disappeared from the scene.

Although he felt it strange, Xie Feng did not say anything about it. After all, it was not his problem.

"Hey, do you guys wish to expose your names?" Xie Feng looked at everyone and slowly explained about the world announcement. Of course, after hearing that they had a chance to get worldwide fame, everyone nodded easily. After all, the fame of their names in the virtual world could help their guilds grow faster and their families in the real world gain some prestige.

As everyone agreed, Xie Feng nodded: "Show all the names."

[Ding!... World Announcement! Today at 16:48, the party consisting of s.h.i.+va, Yao Zenyu, Yang Tian, Red Snow, Mu Wuying, Feng Yao, Rainbow b.u.t.terfly, One Man Army, Yao Mei, and Kali, from the Chinese Battle Zone, have successfully defeated the first IMMORTAL grade beast of the Samsara world, the 'Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon'. As a reward, all members get 1000 gold coins and 2000 prestige points.]

[Ding!... Worldwide Announcement! Today at 16:48, the party consisting of s.h.i.+va, Yao Zenyu, Yang Tian, Red Snow, Mu Wuying, Feng Yao, Rainbow b.u.t.terfly, One Man Army, Yao Mei, and Kali, from the Chinese Battle Zone, have successfully defeated...]

[Ding!... World Announcement! Today at 16:48...]

[Ding!... World Announcement!]

[Ding!.... World Announcement!]

Five worldwide announcements silenced all the battle zones before a commotion broke out. The names of s.h.i.+va and Kali became famous after their feat of overcoming the trial in Desperation mode, Yao Mei was already known from previous virtual games; but now, several more names became known to the whole world.

Although Yao Zenyu, Yang Tian, and Mu Wuying were already known figures due to their real-world statuses, none of the three were known as world powers. In fact, were it not for the power that their guilds possessed, especially Yao Zenyu's G.o.d of Heaven guild, none of the three would be too well known. But this announcement changed everything.

After a few minutes, the announcement that all the defenders and observers were waiting for finally enlightened the ears of all the players of China and the NPCs of Adastreia Continent.

[Ding!... Server Announcement: Attention all players in the China battle zone... Today, at 17:06 hours, the 5th attack wave was successfully cleared, thus ending the first mission of the three-part event 'Dragon's Revenge'. The mission completion grade is 95/100 points. The rewards will be displayed below and the top ten players with the highest contribution will be able to choose one reward each, with the first place in contribution having priority.]

95/100 points. The reason why the mission did not end with a 100% successful score was probably due to what happened during the 4th wave in which the Purple Wings Baroth destroyed the west gate and came close to killing several NPCs. Although it was a regret, no one blamed Nangong Lei; not even Xie Feng.

After all, Xie Feng himself found that in fact, the west gate was probably the most difficult to protect because of the snow and ice monsters. Nangong Lei had done a really good job.

Next, the available rewards were shown.
