Sequence Beyond: My Wife is a Mysterious Boss

Just then, a calm voice rang in Meng Tu's ears.

"Now, can we exchange them?"

Meng Tu suddenly turned his head.

Suddenly, the simply dressed young man appeared beside them.

She was looking at him calmly.

"Change!" Meng Tu practically roared.

Without thinking, he threw the lead box he was protecting at Lin Bai.

"Here's the stuff! Save us!"

Lin Bai raised his hand, steadily caught the lead box, weighed it in his hand, and then put it into his spatial ring.

From the shadow beneath his feet, a figure slowly stood up.

The figure was dressed in black, with dark eyes that shone without any light.

Meng Tu and the others felt their scalps tingle.

What is this? A clone? Or a puppet?

They didn't have time to think it through.

The figure in black took a step forward and silently blended into the dense shadows on the ground, disappearing instantly.

The swamp devourer's massive body missed its target and crashed to the ground with a thud.

It seemed somewhat puzzled, its enormous head turning as it searched for the human who had just provoked it.

The next moment, something unexpected happened.

The enormous shadow cast on the ground by the Swamp Devourer seemed to come alive.

Dark, shadowy tentacles emerged from the shadows and tightly bound its limbs and torso.

The swamp devourer struggled frantically, trying to break free of its restraints.

But those shadow tentacles were incredibly tough, and no matter how hard it tried, they didn't budge.

Immediately afterwards, a dark shadow silently appeared on the back of the giant beast; it was the mysterious figure in black.

In the hand of the mysterious figure, a narrow, short sword formed from pure dark energy had appeared at some unknown time.

Without the slightest hesitation, he precisely pierced the short sword through the gap in the giant beast's thick carapace.

The entire process was conducted without making a sound.

The swamp devourer, which had been struggling frantically just a second ago, suddenly froze.

The enormous head slammed heavily onto the ground, splashing up a cloud of mud.

In its murky, vertical pupils, the brilliance of life was rapidly fading.

died.

A peak sixth-tier swamp devourer, renowned for its defensive capabilities, was eliminated without a sound.

The entire process takes no more than ten seconds.

The swamp was quiet.

Meng Tu and his men all stared wide-eyed at the scene before them, as if petrified.

Their brains are completely unable to process the information in front of them.

A puppet emerging from the shadows?

He killed a peak sixth-tier magical beast in one move?

What the hell is that monster?

Meng Tu's gaze slowly shifted from the giant beast's corpse to the figure in black.

Finally, the spot fell on the young man who had remained calm throughout.

His throat was dry, and he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

The figure in black completed the kill, then disappeared back into the shadows, returning to Lin Bai's feet.

It was as if it had never existed.

......

Meng Tu took a deep breath, pushed away the teammate who tried to help him, and staggered a few steps toward Lin Bai.

"Thank you... thank you for saving me."

Meng Tu bent over, his voice trembling without him even realizing it.

The team members behind him also realized what was happening and bowed respectfully, not daring to even breathe loudly.

"It's just a transaction." Lin Bai raised his hand, indicating that he had accepted the gifts. "No need for this."

"No, this is a life-saving grace."

Meng Tu stubbornly raised his head, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"What you want is nothing compared to our lives."

He knew very well that if it weren't for this young man's intervention, his entire team would have been wiped out here today.

This world is a dog-eat-dog world.

The other side could have waited until they were both exhausted from fighting the Swamp Devourer before coming out to clean up the mess and take everything for themselves.

But he didn't.

Lin Bai looked at him and stopped dwelling on the issue.

He's more concerned about something else now.

He took out the lead box he had stored in his spatial ring and opened it in front of Meng Tu.

Inside the lead box lay a fist-sized mass of flesh and blood, constantly writhing.

It smelled exactly the same as the one Mengtu had thrown out before, only the quantity was much larger.

Lin Bai scanned the area with his mental energy, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly.

This thing might be enough to lure that sixth-tier swamp devourer from earlier.

But to lure out that peak seventh-tier hydra monster hidden 800 meters deep in the swamp, with this weight, is nothing short of a pipe dream.

"Where did you get this?" Lin Bai asked.

His tone was flat, revealing no emotion.

But Meng Tu felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing this.

This gentleman... seems dissatisfied with this bait?

He dared not be negligent and quickly replied, "Your Excellency, this is something we made ourselves using our own unique recipe."

"Making?" Lin Bai asked, intrigued. "How?"

Meng Tu was taken aback.

This recipe is their team's bread and butter, and it should never be passed on to outsiders.

But when he thought of the black-clad puppet that had appeared silently just now, and the swamp devourer that had been killed in one blow, he couldn't help but think of it.

Meng Tu's initial reluctance vanished instantly.

Saving your life is the most important thing.

"The method is actually not complicated," Meng Tu carefully explained after organizing his thoughts.

"The main ingredient is fresh monster hearts, the higher the level the better. Crush the heart into a paste, then add three kinds of herbs: bone-rotting flower, blood-stained grass, and bewitching saliva."

"These three herbs are common in swamps. Their main function is to amplify the bloody smell of the heart itself, and they also have a special aroma that can stimulate the appetite of magical beasts."

"The proportions aren't actually important; the most crucial element is the heart."

Meng Tu emphasized this point.

"The more hearts used, and the higher the grade, the stronger the bait effect and the wider the attraction range."

After listening, Lin Bai understood.

Craft using Warcraft hearts, the more the better, and the higher the level the better.

He likes things that are simple and straightforward.

"Alright, I understand." Lin Bai put the lead box away. "You can go now."

Meng Tu and his gang were as if they had been granted a pardon.

"Your Excellency, well... we'll take our leave now."

Meng Tu bowed deeply to Lin Bai again before turning around and beckoning to his subordinates.

"Quickly, help the master dispose of the body and remove the heart!"

It's impossible for someone to survive in a rotten swamp without having a brain.

Meng Tu guessed almost instantly what Lin Bai wanted to do.

Several team members quickly began to dismember the swamp-swallowing creature's corpse.

Lin Bai glanced at Meng Tu but didn't say anything.

He walked to the edge of the swamp and waited patiently.

Looking at the endless expanse of gray-green mist, he was planning his next move.

One peak sixth-tier magical beast heart, I don't know if that's enough.

But to be absolutely sure, it's always good to be prepared.
