Sequence Beyond: My Wife is a Mysterious Boss

As Lin Bai's consciousness touched it, the dark mark on his spine lit up.

It lacks the earth-shattering ferocity and scorching heat of when the Secret Body is activated.

Instead, a silent spread has taken its place.

It was like a drop of ink falling into clear water.

Quiet, profound, with an all-consuming chill.

Another independent space within Lin Bai's body was quietly opened up.

A brand new figure slowly coalesced and took shape in the darkness.

The figure was the same height as Lin Bai himself, with a well-proportioned build.

Unlike the Power Body, which has bulging muscles and an explosive sense of oppression.

It stood there quietly, dressed in simple black clothes, and its features were exactly the same as Lin Bai's.

But those eyes were completely black, without any light.

Like two tiny black holes, capable of sucking in everything that looks at them.

Lin Bai could feel a completely new power connecting him.

This secret body lacks the pure, extreme physical destructive power of a power secret body, but possesses a more unpredictable and agile quality.

He opened his eyes and looked around the closed alchemy workshop.

The stone table cast a shadow on the ground.

Lin Bai's mind raced.

The figure in black quietly took a step forward and disappeared into the darkness beneath its feet.

The next moment, the figure vanished from the spot without warning.

When he reappeared, he was already standing next to the stone table.

The entire process was silent and without any energy fluctuations.

Shadows leap.

He can move freely wherever there is a shadow.

"good."

Lin Bai then looked towards the corner of the workshop.

Because no light can reach there, it is also a deep darkness.

He activated his secret body once again.

The shadows in the corner seemed to come alive, transforming into several silent streams that converged towards Lin Bai.

They had no physical form, yet they coalesced on his body surface into a black cloak as thin as a cicada's wing.

The cloak was almost transparent; it was impossible to notice unless you looked closely.

But Lin Bai could feel a cold, tough barrier enveloping his entire body.

Shadow Cloak.

It can bless anyone.

Lin Bai extended his finger, his spiritual power condensing at his fingertip, transforming into a ball of exploding fire.

He controlled the fireball, gently striking it against his own arm.

The shadow cloak covering his arms rippled slightly.

The fireball, powerful enough to shatter rocks, vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

Lin Bai nodded in satisfaction.

I was just casually testing two of the Dark Body's abilities.

That was already a pleasant surprise for him.

One is used for stealth and movement, and the other is used for defense and protection.

In addition to the corrosive and devouring properties of darkness itself, the overall capabilities of this secret body are indeed far superior to a single power secret body.

Su Wan's suggestion is correct.

Now, he has two secret bodies.

One is in the light, the other in the dark; one is forceful, the other cunning.

Combining these two factors, his ability to protect himself in this world has reached a new level.

Hey?

and many more!

Why did he suddenly feel that... this Dark Body's ability was so similar to Ning Wei's?

......

Lin Bai tucked in his cloak and pushed open the stone door of the alchemy workshop.

It was already dark outside.

On the streets of Scarlet Order City, people dressed in various gilded robes still hurried by.

It's time to go back.

Sunset Mountains.

......

Enveloped in dark energy, Lin Bai was carried by the Dark Body, leaping rapidly through the shadows.

Each teleportation covers a distance of tens or hundreds of meters.

He looked down at the list of tasks he had received in the mission hall before leaving.

[Hunting Mission: The Hydra of the Rotten Swamp.]

[Hunting Mission: Skyhawk of Blackwind Valley.]

[Hunting Mission: The Balrog in the Lava Cave.]

[Collection Quest: Fifty Wind Spirit Grasses from Blackwind Valley.]

[Collection Quest: Ten pieces of lava cavern's fiery crystals.]

Lin Bai was making plans in his mind.

He said that the Sunset Mountains were a treasure trove.

A quick search revealed three quests related to hunting the Crimson Beast.

Last time I went out, I learned a lesson the hard way about not having experience.

I randomly accepted a "Clear Bloodthorns" quest and left, only to find out when I got there that it was a group of living people.

No matter how fiercely the Bloodthorn Tribe fought against the Alchemists.

He simply couldn't bring himself to attack a group of indigenous people who were just trying to survive without any reason.

The result was a wasted trip; I didn't earn a single Trail Blazers point.

This time he learned his lesson.

He didn't touch any of the missions that involved the native humans.

They specialize in hunting giant beasts and gathering materials, and if it's on their way, they'll do it together.

......

Meanwhile, deep within the Sunset Mountains.

The atmosphere was oppressive in the underground caves of the Bloodthorn tribe.

All the tribespeople lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the "person" standing in the center of the cave.

The man was tall and thin, and wore a dark green robe.

Fine vines grew on the exposed skin, and even the face was covered with strange green patterns.

Senluo Envoy from the Realm of Ten Thousand Trees.

Under immense pressure, tribal chief Hongye cautiously stepped forward, bowed, and spoke.

"May I ask, sir, what brings you to my Bloodthorn Tribe?"

Senro's green eyes, devoid of white, swept over everyone present.

His voice was hoarse, with a texture like the friction of plants.

"You Bloodthorns are the local bullies of this mountain range."

"I've come to ask you something."

He paused, then continued, "A few days ago, did you hear any unusual noises near the Shadow Wolves' lair?"

"One of my people lost contact over there."

Hongnan, standing behind Hongye, felt her heart skip a beat.

She clenched her fists instinctively, the image of that towering figure, nearly three meters tall, flashing through her mind, along with the punch that effortlessly leveled the valley.

Hongye's expression changed as well. She glanced at her daughter and saw that she was keeping her head down and not saying anything, so she could only bite the bullet and answer.

"My lord, the Shadow Wolves' lair is far from our tribe."

"That's a restricted area. Our people never go near it. We really don't know what happened."

"have no idea?"

Senluo's tone suddenly rose, and an invisible pressure spread out, causing the gravel at the top of the cave to fall in a rustling sound.

"What else about this mountain range is unknown to you Bloodthorns?"

He took a step closer, the vines dragging across the ground with a rustling sound.

"I don't care whether you genuinely don't know or you're lying."

"You have three days."

Senro extended three fingers that were entwined with vines.

"Within three days, use all your men to find it for me!"

"I need to know whether my people are dead or alive, and if they are dead, where their bodies are, and who killed them!"

"If I don't get the answer I want in three days..."

A cruel glint flashed in his green eyes.

"You Bloodthorns, disappear from this mountain range."

After saying that, he ignored everyone and turned to walk out of the cave.
