"Wow, this place is really interesting." Lin Yi stepped on the moss he couldn't identify, his eyes full of curiosity as he looked around.
The thick fog was like piles of clouds, covering everything completely. Looking ahead, the visibility was less than five meters.
A strange fragrance wafted in the air, somewhat like the scent of an unnamed flower, but mixed with a metallic, cold smell. If you smelled it for too long, it could actually make you feel a little dizzy.
"Yaoyao, scan the surroundings and see if there are any abnormal energy fluctuations," Lin Yi casually called out to Chu Yao.
"Yes, Master!" Chu Yao's voice was sweet and crisp, just like a wind chime, and it was especially pleasant to hear.
A flash of blue light appeared in her eyes, like a scanning effect in a science fiction movie, and she instantly collected all the environmental data.
“Master, let me tell you, we haven’t detected any obvious energy fluctuations yet, but there are a tiny bit of unknown particles in the air. Their composition is very complex, and we’re analyzing them now…” Chu Yao’s voice suddenly paused. “Hey, Master, I’ve detected signs of life about ten times in the next hundred meters. The energy intensity isn’t high. At first, I thought it might be the remaining forces of Night Owl.”
"Only ten lackeys? Hehe, perfect for practicing." Lin Yi's lips curled up, a slightly mocking smile on his face.
Ever since he awakened the incredibly powerful class of [Time and Space Dominator], he hadn't experienced the fun of "small-scale skirmishes" in a long time.
"Master, you must be careful. Although these enemies are not very strong, they may have important information about the 'Forgotten City'." Chu Yao's voice was tinged with worry.
"Yaoyao, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Lin Yi smiled confidently and activated the [Time-Space Stealth] skill.
His body gradually became blurred, and finally he completely merged into the surrounding space and time, moving silently towards his destination like a ghost.
In the state of [Time-Space Stealth], Lin Yi leaves no trace when he moves, and even the air remains completely still.
He was like a ghost that didn't belong to this world, able to move freely in any corner without being discovered by anyone.
Before long, Lin Yi arrived near the enemy's stronghold.
This is a small base hidden in a cave, and there are two guards at the entrance yawning boredly.
"Hey, when are you going to get the boss back? This lousy place is driving me crazy," one of the guards muttered.
"Who knows? Our boss is acting all mysterious. He's been unhappy ever since he was defeated by that Lin Yi." Another guard sighed and said, "I heard that Lin Yi is a mythical-level professional, incredibly strong. Our boss didn't even have a chance to fight back against him."
"Who says otherwise! I heard he can even manipulate time and space, that's a huge loophole!"
Listening to their casual conversation, Lin Yi chuckled inwardly: "It seems that Night Owl hasn't given up yet. However, I won't easily hand over the secret of the 'Forgotten City'."
He quietly slipped past the two guards and into the base.
The base was quite simple in its layout, and Lin Yi found the place to store intelligence without much effort—a locked metal safe.
"Hmph, such a simple trick." Lin Yi snorted disdainfully, stretched out his finger and lightly sliced open the safe lock as easily as cutting tofu.
The safe contained some documents and electronic devices.
Lin Yi quickly flipped through the documents and obtained some preliminary information about the "Forgotten City," such as its approximate location and some ancient legends.
"So it turns out the 'Forgotten City' is near the entrance to another dimension. No wonder it was so hard to find," Lin Yi muttered to himself as he looked at the information.
Suddenly, he sensed a faint energy fluctuation coming from behind him.
"Oh no, someone's coming!" Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately used [Time Freeze] to temporarily freeze time in the surrounding area.
A man in a black uniform appeared at the door, holding an energy weapon in his hand, his eyes scanning the room warily.
"That's strange, I have a feeling there's someone here..." the man muttered to himself, frowning.
Taking advantage of the pause in time, Lin Yi quickly stuffed the documents and electronic devices into his spatial ring, and then quietly left the room.
When time started ticking again, the man was still standing at the door, looking puzzled.
"Could I have made a mistake?" He shook his head and turned to leave the room.
Lin Yi's figure had long since disappeared into the thick fog, leaving only a meaningful voice floating in the air: "Hey, this game has only just begun..."
Lin Yi ran like a ghost through the thick fog, so fast that only a series of afterimages could be seen.
He could sense that the intermittent energy fluctuations behind him were getting closer and closer.
It's obvious that Night Owl's remaining men are already searching for him all over the mountain.
"Tsk, how come these people have such a keen sense of smell?" Lin Yi clicked his tongue, thinking to himself, "Are these people like hunting dogs, with such amazing tracking abilities?"
However, trying to capture him, the "Master of Time and Space," is truly wishful thinking.
With a flash, he disappeared into the void, leaving no trace.
Before long, several men dressed in black arrived breathlessly at the spot where Lin Yi had just been.
But they could only watch helplessly as the thick fog rolled around, unable to see anything.
"Damn it! Where did they go?!" a man in black roared, his voice echoing through the valley and startling a flock of birds into flight.
"Stop yelling. Didn't the boss say that Lin Yi is full of bad intentions? We have to be careful." The other man in black was quite calm, his eyes darting around, trying to find some clues.
But all of this is in vain.
Lin Yi was like a gust of wind; he came without a trace and left without a trace, making him impossible to catch.
"Hmph, even if he runs to the ends of the earth, I will still drag him down!" the leader of the men in black said viciously.
At this moment, Lin Yi, who was already far away from the stronghold, was standing on the top of a particularly tall ancient tree, looking down at everything.
"Hehe, you want to catch me? You'll have to wait until your next life." Lin Yi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.
He jumped lightly and landed on the tree, as lightly as a leaf, without making a sound.
"Now, we need to carefully consider this intelligence..." Lin Yi touched the spatial ring on his hand, his eyes becoming deep and unfathomable.
This game is only just beginning to get interesting.
