Samsara Online

Chapter 452: Evil plan

Scorpions were slow creatures due to their small size, so although they moved their legs quickly, the actual speed at which they moved on the sand was not particularly fast. However, slowly the scorpions were moving forward and getting closer and closer to the target of their wrath.

Dozens of vengeful scorpions were advancing at the same time and their eyes seemed to have turned bloodshot as they looked at the emperor seemingly stunned on the ground without movement let alone showing any signs of getting up or waking up.

In fact, there were dozens and not hundreds or even thousands because there was a certain range within which the scorpions could react to the death of their comrades, or else the scene would be much worse!

Dozens of level five monsters trying to attack a God grade boss whose level had already reached the maximum? It was just a funny joke and if someone told it they would probably all laugh out loud.

In fact, normally such a thing was impossible since only the aura surrounding bosses with such a level of power was enough to keep the other creatures away. However, there were some creatures that were an exception to this natural rule, and as long as certain requirements were met, even a Saint grade boss would be attacked by such creatures.

The vengeful scorpions were just such a creature.

It didn't matter if it was a level 1 rabbit or a level 100 dragon; as long as an existence attacked or killed one of their own, these little scorpions that were weak even among level five monsters would give their all to take revenge and live up to their names!

After ten seconds of being stunned, Xuan Liuxian opened his eyes. He slowly staggered to his feet, and after remembering what had happened and seeing that Xie Feng had disappeared without a trace, the emperor was about to scream in rage and frustration. However, when he turned his face sideways and saw the little scorpions, his expression turned pale as if he were a ghost.

How could he, the emperor of these lands, not know one of the most harmless but at the same time most horrifying creatures in the entire Adastreia Continent? Without even hesitating, the emperor jumped into the air while trying to control the surrounding energy in an effort to fly as far away as possible from these little scorpions that were the representatives of guaranteed death.

However, to the horror and disbelief of the strongest human being in these lands, he realized that no matter how hard he tried his feet would not leave the ground for more than a mere second before being drawn back to earth by the gravitational force which in the past he had mocked countless times after considering himself a being who could no longer be bound by the earth and whom only the heavens could hold back.

[Ding!... You are currently in the vicinity of Eminentis City and a magical flight suppression array is active].

"What's this all about?!" Xuan Liuxian roared loudly as he made a sideways slash with his sword.

-312.527... -375.385... -353.847.... -328.164

Even without using any kind of skill, just a normal attack from the emperor, a God grade boss, was enough to annihilate all of the surrounding Vengeful Scorpions. After all, while it was true that the scorpion's skill was horrifying, they were still level five monsters; and one of the weakest considering how low their health bar was and how slow their slow speed was.

However, that weakness was something they were trying to overcome by using numbers.

While it was true that Xuan Liuxian's attack had ended the life of the immediate danger, it caused all the surrounding scorpions to go on a rampage as if someone had suddenly hit a beehive.

Connected to a nearby scorpion that had been killed, the remaining scorpions farther away seemed to receive some sort of stimulation as they began to crawl with their little legs towards where the emperor was standing.

"Damn bugs!" Xuan Liuxian knew that he could not escape unless he made his way out and since he too needed to vent the anger and frustration that consumed him inside, he raised his sword high and slashed downward with all his might, slaughtering hundreds of Vengative Scorpions in a single cut.

"This seat will kill all of you until there is nothing left!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Constant explosions caused the surrounding earth to shake constantly and if one looked high in the sky one would be able to see a tiny dot representing a person being surrounded by what looked like a sea of yellow bugs like the earth, which represented the scorpions in movement.

The scorpions could not approach before being slaughtered but due to their overwhelming numbers the emperor could not leave the perimeter either and since he could not fly either he could only use his two legs to run. Therefore, the battle had become a battle in which the emperor could only survive and win if he did not get tired or if he defeated the scorpions before that; on the other hand, the scorpions could become the final victors if they could overwhelm the enemy with their numbers or if they managed to sting him just once.

Of course, the reason Xie Feng knew about the array was due to King Hu Yi's explanation before the battle against the Abyssal Dragon began.

Back then the king had told Xie Feng that he had left his trusted people and most capable subordinates in charge of controlling and activating the defense and suppression arrays while the attack arrays were ready to be activated at any time.

After all, the king knew deep in his heart that they could not defeat and stop a Saint grade boss. Therefore, he had left everything in place so that the silver and bronze-armored soldiers and the mages of Eminentis City could at least fight and buy time for the normal and powerless citizens to battle.

But little did he expect that the information the king shared back then with Xie Feng would become something he would use against the emperor of the human race!

The anti-flight suppression magic array was a simple array whose operation was usually nothing special. However, if a flying creature touched the ground, then as long as the magic array was activated it would be practically impossible to escape unless it had a great Earth Resistance to escape gravity.

If a creature flew without touching the ground then all would be well. However, if it fell to the ground or landed, then it was the end.

King Hu Yi's idea was to use the anti-flight suppression array to suppress the Abyssal Dragon on the ground if they ever had the chance to make it fall from the sky.

In the end, the Abyssal Dragon was defeated before it could reach Eminentis City or its vicinity so the arrays in the city were never used. However, the soldiers and mages did not know this information because, unlike the planet Earth, in this world there were no means of long distance communication and they still used letters and messengers or tame flying birds. Precisely because the news had not yet reached Eminentis City, the different magic arrays and their different effects remained active.

Xie Feng took advantage of this information and devised a cruel plan after remembering the vengeful scorpions. In the end, his plan was a resounding success and now the emperor was fighting for his life.

But all of this was something Xie Feng had already put aside as he was currently in his mansion in the virtual world.

"Wuhen!" Shui Wuhen's mother was currently in the custody of two soldiers standing outside Xie Feng's house and upon seeing her daughter she couldn't help but run after her.

"Mom!" The little girl felt her eyes water and hugged her mother tightly as she began to cry wildly.

Until now, Shui Wuhen had behaved extremely strangely and without crying as a normal child would cry after witnessing death and mayhem. However, she probably couldn't hold it in anymore when she saw her mother.

At least that was what Xie Feng and the girls thought.

So, seeing the little girl finally start to release her fears in the form of tears, everyone couldn't help but feel a little bad but at the same time a little better about it.

After all, holding the tears and fear inside would only make things more difficult later on.

The two bronze-armored soldiers saw mother and daughter reunited in a heartwarming embrace and looked at each other in a relaxed manner before walking towards Xie Feng.

The expression of the different girls could not help but change slightly as they saw the soldiers advancing towards them and unconsciously they all clenched their weapons in disguise.

After all, not long ago the emperor fought and was beaten by Xie Feng while the other players seemed to be about to engage in a war to the death against the NPC soldiers in Eternal Wind City.

Therefore, they unconsciously began to protect themselves against the NPCs.

The only one who kept a casual and calm expression under his mask was Xie Feng and instead of doing anything strange or too extreme, he stepped forward to meet the soldiers.

"Excuse me, you are Shiva, aren't you?" one of the soldiers asked with a serious expression as he looked at the young man in front of him.
