Chapter 40 (1/2)

Mike smiled as he walked toward the person on the ground.

In order to increase his speed, Mike no longer waited for these monsters to attack him. He attacked as he walked.

[-1,000]

[-1,000]

[-1,000]

Numbers appeared above the heads of the surrounding monsters. None of the monsters could even withstand a normal attack from Mike.

Very quickly, the surrounding monsters had been cleared out. Meanwhile, Mike’s HP was still full.

He was unharmed!

Mike quickly stepped forward and came to the tree in front of him.

When he got closer, he realized that this person was already dead. It was a corpse.

Mike pursed his lips and remained silent.

In his previous life, Mike had also attempted the Legend of the Hero quest, but he had never progressed this far. He had failed at the first batch of Swamp Monsters that appeared in the outermost area of the Swamp Forest. A large number of people were directly eliminated as the quest’s requirement was to not receive any damages.

Of course, there were also experts who had made it this far, so Mike knew that he would meet a person here. Moreover, he also knew that this was where the clue for the second half of the mission would be.

However, he only knew the facts, he did not know the specific details. Therefore, he could only bend down and search the corpse in front of him.

Although the corpse was not rotten, it still felt really strange to do such a thing.

Soon, Mike found a letter in the corpse’s arms.

This was obviously a mission clue.

Without any hesitation, Mike opened the letter.

A sentence was clearly written on the letter:

“I’m tied up in the Swamp Cave, please send someone to help me!”

It was a simple sentence, and the paper even had some bloodstains. It showed how critical the situation was.

In that case, it made sense why the body would appear here.

It was likely that the soldier who came out to deliver the letter had died on the way, but it was strange that the body had not rotted.

However, Mike was not bothered by it.

He only wanted to complete the mission.

Looking around, Mike noticed that there was an area in front that was completely different from other places.

Although this place was a swamp, its name was Swamp Forest.

Since it was called a forest, trees should be present. However, the area in front of him was actually a completely empty space without any trees!

There must be a special reason for it. Mike immediately walked toward the empty space.

As soon as he stepped on it, his entire body sank at an abnormal speed.

Moreover, even if Mike wanted to move forward, he could not move at all.

Soon, his whole body sank into the swamp.

Silence was once again returned to the Swamp Forest.
