When the Big Skeleton raised its leg and brought it down with the intention of crushing him, if he were a normal player he would freeze at the sight of the big difference in height between the skeleton and himself. After all, Samsara"s world was like a real world, there was no noticeable difference between reality and fantasy. Even the smell was clearly evident.
However, Xie Feng was not simply going to stand there casually, waiting for the Big Skeleton to crush him.
The moment the Great Skeleton lifted its foot, Xie Feng stopped for a moment and then took a great leap backward.
*Hong*
A thunderous and deep sound echoed inside the third floor of the cave and a considerable part of the white-boned path was crushed, turning many bones to powder, demonstrating how powerful the Big Skeleton"s attack really was.
A ma.s.sive body, a terrifying force and a terrifying aspect.... At the same time, its weakness was too evident. Seeing the Big Skeleton"s leg yet in the same place without moving, Xie Feng ran quickly to it.
It" s actions.... were unusually slow. From the moment it advanced slowly, Xie Feng was already sure that it was not slow in just taking a step forward, it was also slow in its attack speed
Xie Feng arrived in less than two seconds near the ma.s.sive skeleton and slashed the monster"s leg with his sword.
Miss
Miss
Miss
In three seconds, the damage by Xie Feng was 0!
With a difference of more than twenty levels, the probability of his. .h.i.ts. .h.i.tting correctly is too low. Although Xie Feng had expected such a result, he could not help but tremble at the thought of fighting this monster. Even if it didn"t take him the same amount of time as it did to defeat the Guardian of h.e.l.l, it would certainly take him several hours.
The step taken by the Big Skeleton was undoubtedly shocking, but then the skeleton did not move again for three seconds. After three seconds, when Xie Feng saw the Big Skeleton moving slowly again, he activated the Cloud Path, which increased his movement speed to 138 points, then.... he ran away.
Naturally, he was not going to stay and fight a monster he cannot defeat. He also doesn"t have that much time to lose here.
*Hong*
The next moment, another thundering sound was heard behind his back, but he had gone too far by then.
He charged through the third floor of the cave without any pressure. In the end, he was too lazy to pay attention to the attacks of the Big Skeletons. Wherever the skeleton stepped, he had already disappeared without leaving a shadow.
The type of enemy he feared most was not those with strong attacks, but rather those with fast attack speeds. On the other hand, enemies with low attack speed and strong attacks, he could easily deal with. In other words, if he faced a single Big Skeleton that was more than twenty levels higher, even if he missed nine out of ten attacks, he was still confident that he could eventually kill and make it unharmed. It just doesn"t make sense to do something like that.
Why get a few silver coins and maybe a piece of steel or iron level thirty-five equipment? He wasn"t that bored.
This is the clear barrier between levels. If Xie Feng were level thirty or a bit less, he could certainly kill the big skeletons easily and without too much trouble. But with a difference so great, even he would have to think carefully about his actions.
[Ding! .... You have entered the fourth floor of the A+ rank dungeon: Darkness in the Light]
After 30 minutes of running and avoiding the ma.s.sive thirty-five level skeletons, Xie Feng reached the fourth floor of the cavern.
The ground under his feet was still made of white bones and the white light glow seemed to be strangely brighter here.
The moment Xie Feng appeared, he saw skeletons wandering in the distance. The skeletons here not only gave him a strong pressure, but even their external appearances were also several times more striking than the skeletons of the previous floors.
There was a shiny bronze helmet on its head and there was a clean red cape hanging from its back. A fierce armor of shining bronze covered its body and a pair of similar combat boots was on its feet. In its hand, there was a silver spear with a cold and glowing point.
The body of the skeleton was covered with armor and combat boots. If its skull head were not shown, from a distance it would clearly look like a majestic general.
He observed the skeleton closest to him and inspected it.
[Skeleton Squadron Commander]
[Level: 50]
[HP: ????]
[Description: ????]

[????]
"What the h.e.l.l did I get myself into....?". Xie Feng murmured with a smile on his face. His smile was uglier than the face of a person crying.
Even without seeing the level of the skeleton, simply by observing its appearance, Xie Feng already knew that it was undoubtedly much stronger than the skeleton soldiers with sword and shield that he had seen before.
As if feeling his rude thoughts of comparing it with a mere skeleton soldier, the Skeleton Commander looked at him. Even if the skeleton had no eyes Xie Feng could tell it was a look of hostility.
*Tap*
*Tap*
*Tap*
As if that wasn"t enough, two other Skeleton Commanders started walking towards him. The sound of their steps and their metal boots tapping the ground was deep and powerful. After walking a few steps, the three Skeleton Commanders raised their spears and ran towards Xie Feng as if they were a normal person and not an undead one.
"d.a.m.n you, shameless b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! I am only a level fourteen player and you are level fifty! You don"t have your pride as soldiers!". Xie Feng could not help but curse aloud when he saw the movement of the Skeleton Commanders.
If a hit from a level fifty monster touched him, he would surely be sent back to the resurrection point of Eminentis City.
When a player dies, it doesn"t matter if he is killed by a monster, NPC or another player, they always lose a level. But that"s not all. They would also drop one to three pieces of equipment (depending on luck) and lose between 5% and 10% of the gold coins that the player has in their inventory (depending on luck).
All players who enter the Samsara world know how hard it is to level up after reading the guide in the forums. With such a brutal death penalty, all players tend to be more careful than in past virtual reality games.
Even worse, Xie Feng would return to level zero immediately after his death.
But, Xie Feng was not a person who feared death. On the contrary, his eyes had a strange glow when he activated Cloud Path and waited for the attack of the three Skeleton Commanders to come.
How much courage is needed?
How arrogant does one have to be to stand by and observe with indifference how three attacks that could kill him immediately, and were approaching him at breakneck speed?
But he does not only have courage and arrogance, he has the strength to back up his arrogance.
After activating the Cloud Path, his body felt light as a feather.
*Sou!*
*Sou!*
*Sou!*
The three spears pierced the wind with a seemingly unstoppable force.
His eyes were fixed on the spears that came dangerously close to his chest. His body shifted slightly and leaned slightly to the left at a perfect angle of forty-five degrees. The spears flew alongside him, and then Xie Feng stepped forward in an irregular bending pattern. His body trembled like a ghost as he ran past the three Skeleton Commanders.
The Skeleton Commanders were not at all slow like the other skeletons inside the cave. In fact, their speed was truly terrifying because immediately after failing their three-point attack, they turned around and chased Xie Feng.
"120 uh...". Xie Feng murmured with indifference as he looked back slightly.
The Skeleton Commanders" movement speed was actually about 120 points!
This means that if Xie Feng had not obtained the sticker that increased his movement speed by 10 points after defeating the Guardian of h.e.l.l in the Beginner"s Village, the three Skeleton Commanders would have eventually caught up to him.
Although he is confident enough to avoid death even if these three monsters reach him, it would certainly be extremely dangerous for him since his life-saving abilities have a cooldown too long to depend on them.
But his confidence is not in the skills of the game, neither in items, not even in the Ring of the G.o.d of Destruction.
His confidence comes from his own innate ability and capacity.
Reflexes, reaction speed, focus!
These three characteristics belong to him alone and to no one else. These three characteristics are what make Xie Feng and his items strong!
Xie Feng was running for five minutes and no longer saw any monsters around him. All the Skeleton Commanders who were chasing him were left in the dust by him.
But suddenly he felt extreme danger and he was sure that if he was. .h.i.t he would surely die, making his little more than 2200 health points disappear like an illusory cloud.
Without hesitation, he kicked the wall near his right and using that force he jumped aside with all his might.
*Bang!*
A great dark gray bolt of lightning full of aura of death hit the site where Xie Feng was standing less than a second ago. A black mark remained on the floor for a moment before finally disappearing as if nothing had happened.
The monster that had launched such a terrifying attack soon emerged from the darkness and showed itself.
This was a skeleton whose entire body was covered in a black cloak. Apart from the half of its face that was revealed, the rest of its body was completely covered by the cloak. And compared to the skeleton magician on the second floor, the cloak that this skeleton wore was clearly on a higher level. Not only was it not at all messy, it surrounded it, its body was also covered with a faint gray glow.
[Cursed Lightning Skeleton]

On the fourth floor of the cave, there was actually not one type of monster, but two!
When he entered the fourth floor and all the way down, he had only seen the Skeleton Commander, so he decided that there was only one type of skeleton here. And the price of this error of judgment almost cost him his life.
Xie Feng gritted his teeth as he looked at the skeleton in front of him. For the first time, he began to doubt whether he could really succeed in this mission.
What does he expect at the end of this dungeon? He doesn"t know, but it will certainly not be simple.
*Tzzz!*
The sound of crackling lightning drove Xie Feng from his thoughts and when he saw the skeleton, he saw a big ball of lightning flying towards him. No doubt, he would not have time to move aside so he could only jump in place.
With a jump and a strange twist, Xie Feng was able to evade the attack of the skeleton. However, for the first time, Xie Feng was sure that if this were the real world, the hairs on his head would have turned to ashes.
He came this close to dying.
*Bang!*
The lightning ball thrown by the level sixty skeleton hit the ground several meters behind it and produced a loud explosive sound.
The magic that this Cursed Lightning Skeleton could liberate was something that the little Skeleton Magician couldn"t be compared to. After chanting for less than three seconds, it launched another terrifying and strong attack with a range of five meters.
Then, when Xie Feng dodged the attack, the figure of two other Skeleton Commander appeared in front of him.
Xie Feng did not stop moving and actually increased the pattern of strange movements. As if he were a snake, he lowered his body and the two spears flew over him.
His body fell to the ground and slithered away while perfectly dodging the attacks. He quickly stood up and disappeared into the white darkness.
