Samsara Online

Chapter 305 Cheerful and mischievous gnomes



Xie Feng and the rest followed Emir through the forest for about twenty minutes. During that time, except for the very occasional appearance of weak monsters, they did not encounter any strange creatures powerful enough to threaten the girl of the gnome race; let alone a powerful boss like the Thousand Branch Trickster Tree. Thanks to this, the group of six managed to feast their eyes with the beautiful natural view.

The forest was wonderful to say the least. The plants had incredible heights but still did not lose the beauty that by nature belonged only to them, the birds sang beautifully and the union of different species had turned the silent forest into an opera concert where everyone competed to show that their singing was the most beautiful.

Even the most natural forest on planet Earth definitely could not compare in any way to the beautiful sight in front of them.

"It’s like a work of art." Xie Yao couldn’t help but remark.

Gu Qianxue nodded and agreed with Xie Yao. She added, "I really feel happy to be able to appreciate such a view..."

"Hehe!" Emir looked somewhat proud after hearing the praise from the two girls. She had been delighted since the first time she saw the appreciative looks on everyone’s face, which made Xie Feng a bit confused.

"Emir, could it be that you know something about this forest?" Xie Feng asked after thinking for a moment.

Emir didn’t even hesitate and nodded several times. With a proud voice she said loudly, "Of course I know! After all, it was us, the gnomes, who created this forest!"

"""What!?"""

The Hu Chen trio exclaimed aloud.

Although Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue’s reactions were less exaggerated since as ladies they had been raised from a young age to maintain a modest behavior, the looks of surprise on their faces were impossible to hide the shock their hearts felt after hearing the sudden revelation.

But their reaction was also natural, after all, Xie Yao and the rest only had knowledge of the human world in which they lived their entire lives; they only started playing Samsara Online a little over a month ago and only recently began to explore this vast world and its hidden secrets.

"There is nothing to be surprised about." Emir shook her rock head and answered: "We, the gnomes, are a small race; our sizes are even smaller than that of the dwarves! Our physical strength is also not incredible and we have no talent for fighting either.... But! If it comes to magic, then we certainly are the best!"

Anyone could hear the pride in the little gnome girl’s voice for her race.

Xie Feng nodded silently.In fact, according to what he had read, gnomes were a race that had their origins in the mysterious realm of magic, a place where colors were brighter, the wilderness even wilder, and emotions even more primal. Gnomes liked nature and were straightforward with their emotions, not hiding their dislike or appreciation in the slightest; just as happened with Emir earlier when she unconsciously expressed her dislike for the human race.

"If this forest was created with magic, then it all makes sense." Xie Yao nodded, finally understanding a little and accepting things more easily.

A forest that was neither warm nor cold, a river of crystal clear and pure diamond-like water running through the frozen ice that no normal living thing could ever happen upon, birds of all species living in peace and harmony with each other.... If all this was not done by magic, then probably none of them would be willing to accept it easily.

"It’s here." Emir stopped her steps after walking for another five minutes and pointed to the empty space in front of her.

This time no one said anything. If it was before, probably one of them would have said something like, "Hey! But there’s nothing in that place!" However, after learning that the gnomes created a whole forest in the middle of such extreme weather, they felt that they would no longer be surprised no matter what happened next.

"To enter we have to do the magic dance." Emir said in a serious voice. "Look my movements carefully."

Then, the little girl of the gnome race began to dance. She raised both arms and put her hands in a ’Z’ shape, then began to move her head back and forth rapidly while taking a few steps to the left and a few steps to the right.

The mouths of Xie Feng and the rest opened wide, their eyes threatening to pop out of their sockets while watching the girl dance. They were not only amazed by Emir’s agility, the girl moved so well that Xie Feng even began to think that maybe the rocks covering her body were a fake; however, they were more amazed because they actually knew those moves! They were the movements that the ancient Egyptians did during worship ceremonies!

"Uka Shaka, Uka Shaka..." Xiao Luo couldn’t help but chant out loud, drawing a strange look from everyone.

After that, Emir started making strange sounds; she sometimes sounded like a turtle and sometimes sounded like a bear.... It was really embarrassing. However, the embarrassment turned into surprise because of what happened next.

Swoosh!

Emir, who was right in front of them a second ago, disappeared from the place where she was standing as if she had never been there in the first place!

Swoosh!

Not even two seconds later, the girl reappeared, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

"Come on, try it too! It’ll be fun!" Emir urged everyone. Her rock mouth had curved into a strange smile.

Xie Feng and the rest looked at each other with clear embarrassment on their faces. The dance they had just seen was so embarrassing that just looking at it made them blush.... To think that now they had to do it was no different than pouring fuel on a fire.

"Is something wrong?" Emir looked at them confused, she didn’t know what was wrong with them that they had suddenly become shy.

"No... It’s nothing, give us a moment, Emir."

Xie Feng gave Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue a helpless look, as the two girls looked at him for help.... Clearly they didn’t want to do it.

"All right. The four of us are doing it first, the girls later." Xie Feng looked at Hu Chen and the rest as he said in a serious voice.

Evidently, Xie Feng didn’t want the three men to see Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue doing an embarrassing dance, therefore, the three miserable guys had no choice but to get down to business.

The two beauties looked at Xie Feng with appreciation, however, when they saw him making those strange movements, they could not help but laugh. They quickly covered their mouths in an attempt to suppress their laughter but it was no use.

On the other hand, while he was doing those turtle steps, Xie Feng swore to himself to punish them both in the night for laughing at him so cruelly.

Perhaps sensing the change in Xie Feng’s gaze, the two beauties suddenly shuddered and looked around; it was as if they were looking for a terrifying monster in the forest.

* * *

"Wow..."

That was all Xie Feng could comment upon seeing the scene in front of him. After performing that embarrassing dance, he, Hu Chen, and the other two were teleported inside a mountain that was located who knows where.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

In three flashes of light, Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue, accompanied by Emir, appeared next to the four who had arrived first and the reaction of the two girls was not inferior to that of the men.

Earlier they were in a wonderful forest, but now they were inside what appeared to be a gigantic mountain. Buildings of all sizes were stacked side by side along a large rock street that stretched as far as the eye could not see; but the reason they were all surprised was not because of the buildings or the sheer size of the place.

Bang!

A gnome jumped down from a roof and cast a magic water spell at another gnome who happened to be passing by.

Splash!

The water landed on the gnome’s head, soaking his entire body as well as the bag he was holding.

"Hey!"

The injured gnome shouted and chased after the running gnome while laughing. However, before the mischievous gnome could get any further, another small gnome came out of who knows where and put i his foot down, throwing the running gnome to the ground.

...

The whole place was practically in chaos. They had only arrived a minute ago but Xie Feng and his group had already seen at least a dozen similar cases where a mischievous gnome bullied another innocent gnome.

But, just as Xie Feng had suspected before.... All gnomes seemed to be made of stone. The gray color, just as was the case with Emir, covered the gnomes’ entire bodies except for their eyes.

"Really... They like to have fun." Gu Qianxue commented, not knowing what to say about it.

Suddenly a gnome appeared behind the group and before they could react he approached Xiao Luo, taking the dagger from his hands. The little gnome ran away while laughing loudly.

"Hey! You little wild creature, give it back to me!" Xiao Luo panicked and chased after the little thief as if his life depended on it.

Xie Feng: "..."

Xie Yao: "..."

Gu Qianxue: "..."

Hu Chen: "..."

Emir: "..."

Yue Kai: "... That idiot... Why doesn’t he just call the dagger back into his inventory?"

No one knew what to say about it. Probably, Xiao Luo was so scared that he forgot that, unless he willingly threw away his weapon himself, no one could really take it away from him.
