[Ding!... Server Announcement: From this moment on, the first part of the three-mission event of Samsara Online officially begins. The name of the current mission was listed as Dragon"s Revenge and the objective of the players is to resist the incoming attack of the monsters trying to invade the walls of Eminentis City, the initial city where each of you started your travel in this wide world.
Dragon"s Revenge is a mission consisting of 5 waves of attack, each wave being more difficult to overcome than the previous one. The mission will end as a failure once the monsters break through the city walls indiscriminately and the system considers that the players did not achieve the objective. The mission will end as a success once the last monster of the 5th attack wave is killed by the players.
In case the mission ends as a failure, all players in the Chinese Battle Zone will have to wait 72 hours before getting a second chance.
The experience of the monsters will be divided according to the contribution of each player at the time of killing the monster.
The monsters will not drop any items during the 4 initial waves and all the drop will be concentrated on a single monster in the 5th and last attack wave. The item drop will be divided among the 10 people with the highest contribution, being the 1st place in contribution the person with the right to choose an item before the rest.]
As the dust cloud slowly approached and became more and more visible on the horizon, an extremely long and detailed system announcement indicated the official start of the event in which the Alliance System would be launched once the Dragon"s Revenge mission was successfully completed. However, if they failed and the mission ended in defeat for the players, they would all have to wait three days before getting another chance.
Three days might not seem long from a certain point of view, but considering that the other countries were also competing at this very moment, three days of waiting was enough for China to be left behind by those who successfully completed their missions. This was something that naturally none of them wanted to see.
The most surprising thing was the distribution of the loot as it would actually all be acc.u.mulated for one last final monster, which would probably end up with extremely valuable items! On the other hand, the distribution of experience did not change at all and was the same as always.
As the players finished processing the information, the approaching monsters finally started to become visible and their appearances began to be identified.
Almost all of them had one thing in common, and that was that each monster had a pair of legs similar to human legs but scaly green in color. However, the upper part differed greatly between each monster; some monsters had the head of a normal fish, others were similar to a real world swordfish, there were also crabs that were a meter tall and two meter long lobsters with large hooks and pincers.
*Thump*
The closer the monsters came, the louder the sound of their footsteps thumping the ground and the harder the earth shook beneath the players" feet.
200 meters
150 meters
100 meters
"ATTACK!!!"
"KILL ALL OF THESE FISH AND SEND THEM BACK INTO THE WATER!"
When the amphibious monsters entered into the range of 100 meters away, all the players gave a war cry and advanced to their confrontation without hesitation.
The sight of hundreds of thousands rushing at the same time was truly a terrifying beauty worth appreciating. Even Xie Feng couldn"t help but shudder.
"You"re not going?" Yang Tian asked casually.
"Me? Nah." Xie Feng shook his head and stuck the Calamity Spear behind him, then used it as a support and crossed his arms as he asked back. "And you? Aren"t you going to kill monsters?"
"Bah." Yang Tian rolled his eyes and casually sat down on a small rock.
Xie Feng chuckled and looked at one of the incoming monsters.
[Mutant Crab -
Level: 5
HP: 500
Description: A strange crab that mutated after living for over 100 years.
(Innate Skill):
Aquatic Animal: Water Resistance +10% / Fire Resistance -30%.
(Skill):
Double Pincer: When attacking it has a 20% chance of causing double physical damage.]
"I wonder what a crab that lived for over a century would taste like..." Xie Feng rubbed his chin and couldn"t help but ask this question aloud.
Xie Yao and the rest laughed softly at Xie Feng"s carefree comment.
Well, considering that the strongest monster among all the monsters in sight was only level seven, people like Xie Feng and Yang Tian naturally wouldn"t waste their energy fighting against small prawns. Normal players could keep their experience for themselves.
In addition to Xie Feng, Yang Tian, Xie Yao, Gu Qianxue, Yue Kai, Hu Chen, and Xiao Luo, there were also several other people who stood without advancing among the group of players. They were all people who had self-confidence and superior equipment, so they disdained to fight against such weak monsters unless there was no other choice.
However, just because they were not interested, it did not mean that the other players were not interested either. After all, the average level of players was still close to ten and fighting monsters of a lower level was extremely normal; actually, fighting monsters of the same level or higher was the unusual thing to do in first place.
* * *
-North Gate.
The North Gate of Eminentis City was now under the protection of the guild publicly recognized as the strongest guild in China, that to say, the G.o.d of Heaven Guild under the leadership of one of the most outstanding young men admired by countless women in the world, Yao Zenyu.
In addition to more than 1.5 million players belonging to the G.o.d of Heaven Guild, there were also hundreds of thousands of players who teamed up with them to protect the north of the city, which transformed the north into an extremely safe area with almost double the number of players than the South Gate.
At this point, about half of the huge army stepped forward and advanced to fight the monsters. The monsters they fought were all kinds of animals; from rabbits to wild dogs; however, just like what happened at the South Gate, the level of all the monsters was at most level seven.
"This is easier than I thought." Commented Definite Arrow, Yao Zenyu"s right-hand man.
"Don"t be so confident, it"s only the first wave." Yao Zenyu replied. However, even though his mouth said those words, there was not the slightest bit of worry on his face; he was confident that they would overcome the five waves of attack.
After fighting for almost an entire hour, the players were finally close to defeating all the monsters in the first wave. Although there were several deaths, most players had no problem getting free experience.
"Boss!"
"There"s a boss here!"
Several shouts came from the crowd of players.
"Find out the boss"s grade." Yao Zenyu frowned.
The appearance of a boss was something Yao Zenyu had not estimated. You must know that a single boss, even if it was low level, as long as the grade was too high, even thousands or hundreds of thousands of players had to sacrifice themselves to have the slightest hope of victory.
Definite Arrow set to work and soon received news: "The name of the boss that appeared is Two-Headed Dog. It is a grade 3 SUNS boss of level 10. Nothing to worry about, a group of several players already surrounded the boss and soon they will be able to a.s.sa.s.sinate it."
"That"s good." Yao Zenyu nodded in satisfaction. The defeat was out of the question as the consequences were something even he can"t resist. After all, if the north was broken by the monsters, then the entire gaming community of China would drown him in hatred.
"Young master..." Definite Arrow seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
"Speak." Yao Zenyu said casually.
"This... Young Miss Yao Mei, why isn"t she here?" Definite Arrow finally asked.
From the beginning, no one could see Yao Mei at the scene, which left many people perplexed. After all, this was a very important moment for the G.o.d of Heaven guild and, as the strongest player, it was only natural for her to be on the scene. However, even after the first wave was almost over, Yao Mei never showed herself.
