Lin Yi stood in front of the large electronic screen, his eyes quickly swept over the lines of task information.

His eyes finally stopped on a task, which was extremely difficult, but the rewards were just as generous: a prize of 1 million and 200 points.

Although this is still not a small gap from the 500 points he needs, Lin Yi understands that this kind of thing cannot be rushed. After all, points need to be accumulated little by little, and tasks need to be completed step by step.

The mission is to find the missing guards.

According to the mission description, three members of the Sinanjun Guards were ordered to explore a swamp outside the city yesterday.

The swamp was perennially filled with a mysterious white mist, as if some unknown force was at work in it.

As a result, the three team members have never returned, and they have not been heard from since.

"Hopefully someone will be able to investigate and find the whereabouts of the three members of the Escort Team."

At the end of the quest, he wrote, "If you can bring them back, the reward will be doubled." ”

Lin Yi became interested in this task.

On the one hand, it's because the reward points for the mission are quite substantial; On the other hand, he also wants to uncover the secrets of that mysterious swamp, maybe there are some high-level monsters in it, as long as he kills the monsters, he can get a lot of high-level items.

So, Lin Yi accepted this task without hesitation.

Leaving the bustling city of Xin'an, Lin Yi embarked on the road to the swamp.

After walking for half an hour, the surroundings gradually became silent, and people could hardly see it.

Tall trees on both sides of the road shade the sky, and the silence is broken by the occasional eerie birdsong.

Lin Yi raised his vigilance and summoned the puppet warriors to protect him.

Soon, he came to the mysterious swamp.

White mist hovers over the swamp like a ghost, and through the mist, a continuous wetland can be faintly seen.

Lin Yi cautiously stepped into this mysterious territory, feeling the slippery soil under his feet as if it were wriggling.

After walking a few steps, a chill suddenly hit him, and Lin Yi felt that something was secretly observing him.

He immediately stopped vigilantly and looked around, trying to find the hidden enemy. However, he could see nothing but white fog and wetlands.

The puppets around him also did not react, indicating that they were not aware of the existence of the enemy.

Lin Yi couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart. He knew that there must be unknown dangers hidden in this swamp.

However, he felt nothing.

Lin Yi took a deep breath and calmed himself down, no matter what monsters were hidden here, he was not afraid.

"With six S-class puppets protecting me, I'll be fine!"

He kept going, but slowly, carefully with every step, for fear of getting caught in a swamp or triggering some trap.

The white fog was getting thicker and thicker, and he could barely see his fingers, and Lin Yi could only judge the direction and terrain by feeling and experience.

I don't know how long I walked, Lin Yi finally found some clues.

In a wetland shrouded in white mist, he saw some broken equipment and blood left behind.

Apparently, this is where the three missing guards had happened.

"It depends on the situation, these three people are more than lucky!"

Lin Yi's brows were tightly knit, his eyes were like torches, he scanned the surrounding wetlands and white mist, trying to find clues to the missing three guards, but unfortunately, there was nothing.

Lin Yi squinted his eyes, and now he could still clearly feel that the gaze hidden in the white mist, like a man's back, was always staring at his every move.

"Who the hell is it?" Lin Yi secretly guessed in his heart, he knew that this was definitely not an ordinary beast or a human, because the aura was completely different.

In order not to startle the snake, Lin Yi decided to brake statically.

He crouched down, pretending to study the ground carefully, but in fact he was secretly vigilant.

At the same time, he ordered the six puppet warriors who followed him to prepare for battle and attack as soon as something unusual happened.

"Hey, hey! Someone has eaten human flesh again! At this moment, a creepy voice came from the white mist.

The sound was sharp and harsh, as if it were a mixture of multiple sounds, and humans would never be able to produce such a sound.

Hearing this voice, Lin Yi's heart tightened.

He slowly stood up and looked in the direction of the sound.

Through the white mist, he vaguely saw a figure, followed by a second and third...... Eventually, more than thirty monsters appeared!

These monsters are extremely ugly and disgusting. They have the basic outline of a human being, but their skin is grayish-green, covered in pimples and pustules. There was only one huge eye on his face, which was constantly flashing yellow. The mouth occupies almost half of the entire face, and it is full of sharp teeth. Their bodies are deformed, and their hands and feet are slender, like terrible spiders. There was a disgusting stench coming from his body, as if it were a rotting corpse mixed with swamp gas.

"Were these three guards killed by you?"

Lin Yi looked at the dozens of monsters coldly and asked.

"What a guard, we only know how to eat three humans, but unfortunately we didn't eat enough, and now, we plan to eat you too! Hey! ”

One of the monsters said in a strange voice, his voice even more unpleasant, as if his throat had been torn apart.

"Then let's see if you have the ability!"

Lin Yi stopped talking nonsense and directly ordered the six puppet warriors to attack.

Although he can't see the level strength of these monsters, his puppet warriors are all S-rank, and they are strong, so they should be able to deal with these monsters.

The puppet warriors rushed out in an instant and engaged in a fierce battle with the monsters.

Lin Yi stood aside and watched the battle, although these monsters were ugly, their strength was not weak, especially their attack methods were extremely weird, which made people unguardable.

However, Lin Yi's puppet warriors are not vegetarians either.

They cooperated tacitly, integrated offense and defense, and quickly suppressed the monsters' attacks and caused a lot of damage to the monsters.

The monsters were wounded, screaming in pain, and at the same time becoming more violent, desperately attacking the puppet warriors despite their own injuries.

It's a pity that their strength is too different from that of the puppet warriors, and they are quickly killed!

"Sure enough, these monsters are all A-level strength."

Lin Yi thought to himself: "The strength of the people in the escort team is not bad, so the strength of the monsters who can kill them will definitely not be too weak." ”

After the battle, Lin Yi cleaned up the battlefield, and then followed the footprints of these monsters, searching the area for more clues.

Before he knew it, Lin Yi had gone deep into the heart of the swamp. He was surprised to find that the white fog here began to thin out and eventually disappeared completely. He looked around and wondered, "Why isn't there a white mist in the swamp center?" Is this a natural phenomenon or is it man-made? ”

From the memories he learned at school, Lin Yi knew that a mage could make the surroundings full of fog by casting a certain magic skill. Array Mages and Runemasters can also use runes and formations to create similar effects.

"Could it be that the transferee did it?" Lin Yi was full of doubts in his heart. He knew that the Career Changer was a very special being, they possessed strength and abilities beyond ordinary adventurers, and were even able to change some natural phenomena.

He decided to continue exploring the heart of the swamp to see if he could find more clues. Suddenly, he heard a monster scream, exactly the same as the monster that had attacked him before!

"There are even monsters here?" Lin Yi was surprised in his heart. He understands that these monsters will not appear here for no reason, maybe there is some conspiracy!

Although the three guards were dead, Lin Yi felt that it was best to recover some of their relics as evidence, which would be more convincing to the person who issued the mission.

So, he immediately slowed down and quietly walked in the direction where the voice came from.

Soon, a large camp appeared in front of him. It's full of monsters, and the sheer number of them is staggering. They sat or stood, around the campfire, as if waiting for something.

The camp was in disarray, littered with discarded weaponry.

Some of the monsters were biting at something, which appeared to be some kind of animal, and some monsters were crawling on the ground, making scalp-tingling sounds.

"What's going on?" Lin Yi was even more surprised in his heart. He had never seen so many monsters gathered together, and it looked like an army!

Lin Yi cautiously approached the camp, trying not to make any sound. He wanted to know where these monsters came from and what they were going to do.

Suddenly, a tall monster stood up and let out a high-pitched howl. Immediately after, all the monsters stopped moving and looked in the direction where Lin Yi was.

"Not good!" Lin Yi's heart tightened, and he secretly screamed that it was not good. He knew that the monsters had found him. He immediately prepared for battle, and at the same time ordered six puppet warriors to prepare for the attack.

A vicious battle broke out, and Lin Yi and six puppet warriors fought to the death against a large number of monsters.

Although these monsters are no match for puppet warriors, they are numerous, and they do not know tiredness or fear death, even if their companions are killed by puppet warriors, they still rush up to fight frantically.

For a moment, the entire camp was plunged into chaos.

Because there are too many monsters, the puppet warriors are already a little unable to kill, Lin Yi also joined the battle group, holding the blade of God Destroying, rushing back and forth in the monster group!

It was a thrilling battle, and Lin Yi and the puppet warriors faced a large number of monsters.

These monsters, like humans, actually have a variety of professions, and they constantly attack Lin Yi and the puppet warriors, trying to kill Lin Yi and them.

Lin Yi held the Blade of God Destroying, and every time he swung it, he would take away the life of a monster.

His figure weaves quickly through the hordes of monsters, sometimes dodging monster attacks, sometimes delivering a fatal blow to monsters. His movements are smooth and swift, as if in a gorgeous dance.

The puppet warriors are also fighting with all their might, their attacks are even more ferocious, and the monsters are basically not alive in front of them, and they are in a miserable state, leaving no whole corpse behind.

Just as Lin Yi and the puppet warriors were fighting with the monsters, suddenly, an earth-shattering roar came from the end of the camp, which made Lin Yi's ears buzz. Then, a giant monster with a height of more than ten meters slowly stood up.

This giant monster is ugly and scary, with four arms and a thick tail ten meters long! It held a huge spiked hammer in its hand and strode towards Lin Yi's side!

"This is the leader of this group of monsters? Is it a boss? Lin Yi was taken aback, but instead of panicking, he became excited!

"If you kill the boss, you'll be a good thing! Come on, come and send me something good! Lin Yi laughed.

He knew that he would be rewarded for defeating this giant monster. So, he immediately ordered the puppet warriors to attack the giant monster with all their might. And he himself went around the back of the giant monster, ready to deal a fatal blow to it.

Giant monsters, despite their large size, are very agile in their movements. It wields a massive hammer and pushes the puppet warriors back.

Sometimes, they even send puppet warriors flying.

But the puppet warriors still fought the giant monster with perseverance.

Lin Yi took this opportunity to quietly go around the back of the giant monster and prepare to make a move.

He knew that there was only one chance, and he had to kill with one blow.

Finally, here's your chance!

The giant monster's body shook slightly after an attack. Lin Yi immediately seized this opportunity and jumped up, and the God Destroying Blade in his hand instantly pierced into the back of the giant monster.

The giant monster let out an earth-shattering roar and frantically shook its body, trying to shake Lin Yi away.

But Lin Yi clutched the handle of the knife tightly, and didn't let go no matter how hard it struggled.

Eventually, the giant monster leader slowly fell to the ground, and its body began to crumble, dissipating into a puff of black smoke and dissipating into the air.

"We won!"

With the fall of the BOSS, Lin Yi breathed a long sigh of relief.

The battle was finally over, and he and the puppet warriors succeeded in defeating the monster boss and completing the dangerous mission.

After that, it was Lin Yi's favorite part, cleaning up the battlefield.

He collected a lot of high-level materials and equipment where the monsters died, which could be exchanged for a lot of money. However, what surprised Lin Yi the most was that he even found an S-level skill book!

The cover of this skill book is shabby, but the text on it is still clearly visible: [Coordinate Locked].

Lin Yi couldn't wait to open the skill book and read it carefully.

[Coordinate Lock]: Set two locations as coordinates, no matter where you are, as long as you cast this skill, you can return to the two coordinates you set at any time.

"! Isn't this the art of returning to the city? No, it's even more advanced than the Returning to the City! After reading the description of the skill book, Lin Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, "This skill is too awesome!" With it, I can travel between any two points at will! ”

He had always wanted to return to his villa in Sucheng, and now that he had this skill, he could go back whenever he wanted. Moreover, this skill book does not limit the profession, which means that he can also learn as a synthesis!

"Haha, that's great! This skill book is simply my timely rain! Lin Yi was very excited, he knew that this skill meant a lot to him.

He continued to look through the skill book and found that there was some more detailed introduction below.

[Coordinate Lock] is a very practical skill, which allows you to return to a safe location at any time during the expedition, avoiding many unnecessary dangers. Moreover, this skill can be used not only for individual adventures but also for team collaboration. As long as the return location is set in advance, you can evacuate quickly and avoid total annihilation.

However, there are some limitations to Coordinate Lock. First of all, setting the return location requires a certain amount of time and mental energy, and cannot be used arbitrarily in battle. Secondly, the return location must be a place you have already been, and you cannot set an unknown location at random. Finally, if the return location you set is destroyed or inaccessible, you will not be able to go back there.

Despite these limitations, Coordinate Lock is still a very powerful skill.

Lin Yi decided to learn this skill immediately in order to better protect himself and his puppet warriors in the next adventure.

In addition to the rewards dropped by the monsters, Lin Yi also scraped the entire camp and found dozens of silver treasure chests, and then, he returned with a huge amount of loot.
