Lord of All, my talent is SSS level.

"It's finally here!"

Zhao Yi suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up from the sofa.

What will the punishment be like?

Amidst the cold, mechanical hum, a new task appeared in Zhao Yi's mind.

[Mission activated! Lord SFZF0322 will be heading to Survival World QSF1195SJFB in one minute. Mission objective: Survive in Fortune Town for 3 days. Mission reward: To be calculated.]

[Due to Lord SFZF0322 killing a newbie lord during the newbie protection period, the following penalty is imposed: the quest difficulty is increased tenfold.]

[Task in progress...]

[Mission activated! Lord SFZF0322 will be heading to Survival World QSF1195SJFB in one minute. Mission objective: Eliminate the source of chaos in Rich Town within three days. Mission failure: Annihilation. Mission reward: Pending settlement.]

"Not only has the mission difficulty increased tenfold, but failure will result in elimination!"

"Is this the punishment?"

Zhao Yi looked at the changes and a serious expression appeared on his face.

The tenfold punishment was something Zhao Yi had anticipated, but the fact that his failure was wiped out was something he hadn't expected.

After all, they have already completed two missions, and some people have even completed five or six missions.

But I've never heard of anyone being eliminated for failing a mission.

Even if you don't do well on tasks during the beginner period, you'll still get an F rating at the very least.

"Hmph, wiped out? You want my life? Not so easy!"

A fierce glint flashed in Zhao Yi's eyes.

"The mechanics of this survival world look similar to the systems in system novels. Perhaps there's a mastermind behind it all."

"If that's the case, I'll definitely live to the end and kill you, you old sixth brother."

This survival world, which resembled a system, made Zhao Yi increasingly suspicious.

【....10....9....7.....4....2....】

The crimson countdown flashed rapidly, and Zhao Yi's gaze sharpened as he prepared himself.

The next moment, the heavens and earth shook, and space shifted.

Zhao Yi's figure appeared in a desolate wilderness.

"This mission will last three days. I'm afraid the protection period for new books will end when we get back."

"If we encounter other lords during this mission, we don't need to worry about being punished."

He took a deep breath and quickly looked around.

"The original survival mission was to survive for 3 days in Fugui Town, but now the difficulty has increased tenfold, and it has become about eliminating the source of the chaos."

"I need to hurry and find out what exactly happened in Fugui Town."

Zhao Yi quickly analyzed the mission details and immediately had some ideas in mind.

"This world is somewhat normal now; there's no longer that endless darkness."

He glanced ahead and saw a quiet path that seemed to lead somewhere.

"Is this dilapidated road some kind of ancient world, or perhaps a poor mountain village?"

In the suburbs late at night, the evening breeze was slightly cool.

"Should we go south or north?"

Zhao Yi walked up to the path and glanced around.

It looks like a country road leading north and south.

There were no road signs, no warning signs, and no navigation.

Upon arriving at this place, Zhao Yi was somewhat unsure of the way.

"I only have three days, so I can't waste too much time. If I get lost, it will be a bit of a problem."

The mission countdown had already begun, and Zhao Yi didn't have much time left.

"Um?"

Just as Zhao Yi was preparing to head north to make a quick trip and ask around, his nose twitched involuntarily.

"The smell of blood is so strong!"

Zhao Yi's eyes lit up immediately.

He had previously replicated the Tier 1 zombie attribute, Bloodstained Tracking, so he was exceptionally sensitive to the smell of blood.

"About two miles to the south!"

When Zhao Yi first obtained this attribute, he tested the limit of Blood Pursuit, which was about three miles, or about 1,500 meters.

The stench of blood, now two miles away, is unmistakably clear.

"The smell of blood is stronger now, this is..."

Zhao Yi's gaze sharpened, and a hint of seriousness appeared on his face.

"Kill!"

The rapidly increasing stench of blood can only be produced by a large number of dead bodies and bloodshed.

"very good!"

"There has been killing, so there must be someone involved. The intelligence has arrived."

Zhao Yi's lips curled up, and he moved quickly.

Even disregarding the power stacking, a Tier 1 lord's full-speed sprint alone far surpasses that of an ordinary person.

It's worth noting that the average adult can only run at about 25 kilometers per hour at full speed.

After a Tier 1 lord's attributes are increased tenfold, they can even reach speeds of around 200 to 280 km/h.

So a distance of one kilometer only takes a dozen seconds.

Zhao Yi, who had just run over, saw a fire in the distance.

Moreover, shouts and screams were incessant.

Instead of going out directly, Zhao Yi cautiously hid behind an old tree and began to observe carefully.

"These people are dressed like soldiers in period dramas."

"They seem to be surrounding and killing someone!"

But when Zhao Yi's gaze fell on a group of targets surrounded by government soldiers, he was momentarily stunned.

"What is that?!"

A large, green snake, over five meters long and as thick as an adult's thigh, was seen biting a soldier in its mouth and swinging wildly.

The screams that had been heard earlier came from his mouth.

"So many soldiers killing a snake?" Zhao Yi asked, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

But soon something even more surprising happened to Zhao Yi: the large green snake actually spoke human language, and it was a clear female voice.

"You damned humans, I'll fight you to the death!"

Enraged, the blue serpent forcefully flung the soldier out of its mouth.

Then it opened its mouth and spat out a purplish-black mist like a showerhead.

"Ahhh!" "My face!" "My hands, my hands, my hands!" "My eyes!"

"This fog is poisonous, do not touch it!"

The surrounding officers and soldiers immediately changed their expressions and exclaimed in surprise.

Some people even gritted their teeth and instantly cut off their own arms.

Those soldiers who were sprayed in the face or whose areas were difficult to clean up turned blue, their lips turned purple, and black blood flowed from their seven orifices as they died.

"What a poisonous gas!"

Zhao Yi's gaze also sharpened slightly.

Even a first-tier lord wouldn't be able to easily withstand this level of poisonous fog.

However, Zhao Yi has the Water Curtain Sky Flower, so he doesn't need to worry about the poisonous fog.

But the officers and soldiers fared much worse, retreating in a miserable state.

"Don't be afraid, everyone! This little snake demon has already been severely injured by me. The poisonous mist before us is her last resort!"

"With me here, I will absolutely not allow this snake demon to run rampant. I will protect you!"

Just then, Zhao Yi saw an old Taoist priest dressed in hemp clothing at the outermost edge of the crowd, holding a dark red wooden sword in his hand, shouting to the crowd.

"That sounds nice, but you're the one protecting everyone in front of you?"

Zhao Yi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

However, this brief observation did give Zhao Yi a slight understanding of the world.

Similar to ancient soldiers, a large blue snake that can speak human language, and an old Taoist priest in hemp clothing...

"It seems this world is full of demons and monsters; it's definitely not simple!"
