94: Miss, would you be interested in signing another contract?

The two of them sped forward together.

Miss Bu Dong's unhurried appearance made Lin Du frown deeply.

"Speed up a bit. At your pace, your boss probably won't be able to return to Yunlong City alive."

Miss Bu Dong pouted, looking lost and distressed.

"Black-Hearted Boss, maybe we shouldn't go any further."

"Let's just wander around here for a bit and then leave. It's truly dangerous up ahead."

"If you leave now, you can still live well for half a year. If you keep going forward, you might not survive today."

Listening to Miss Bu Dong's words, Lin Du slapped his forehead speechlessly.

"My lady, please have some faith in your boss, alright?"

Miss Bu Dong blinked. "This is a Supreme Secret Realm. How can you expect me to have confidence..."

Lin Du sighed. "In that case, wait here. I'll go ahead by myself."

Miss Bu Dong subconsciously shook her head.

Troubled, a look of conflict flashed across her pale face.

"Forget it, forget it. I'll help the Stinky Boss this one time. Whether he lives or dies depends on his own fate," Miss Bu Dong thought to herself.

She gathered her courage and stood in front of Lin Du.

"Black-Hearted Boss, I can help you, but if you die, you absolutely cannot blame me."

Lin Du laughed wryly.

"No problem. I definitely won't turn into a ghost to haunt you."

"Let's go!"

Lin Du took the lead, rushing toward the end of the barren land.

Miss Bu Dong followed closely behind Lin Du without falling a single step behind. The longer she followed, the more astonished she became.

"Black-Hearted Boss, how can your speed be so fast? Did you awaken the purest Clown Class?"

Lin Du smiled. "Of course. Keep up!"

Whoosh—

Lin Du's speed increased again, instantly widening the distance between himself and Miss Bu Dong... Ten minutes later, Lin Du and Miss Bu Dong stopped at the end of the barren land.

Before them were four bottomless tunnels. From left to right, these four tunnels were colored cyan, earthy yellow, black, and gold, respectively.

Next to each of the four tunnels stood a massive stone monument.

Ghost Path, Beast Path, Demon Path, God Path!

Four different auras emanated from the four tunnels. Inside each tunnel were powerful monsters corresponding to the race indicated on the stone monument.

"Boss, the previous two times I chose the Ghost Path. This time..."

"We're choosing the Ghost Path again this time!"

Lin Du lightly tapped his foot, and his figure darted into the first tunnel without hesitation.

Miss Bu Dong frowned and quickly followed Lin Du's steps.

"Stinky Boss, treating life-or-Death matters so casually..."

...After entering the tunnel, their vision gradually plunged into darkness.

Inside the cyan-black tunnel, countless small passages branched out in all directions.

Without thinking, Lin Du immediately rushed toward the widest passage ahead.

Seeing this, Miss Bu Dong instantly grew anxious.

"Black-Hearted Boss, slow down! There's danger there!"

By the time Miss Bu Dong shouted, Lin Du had already entered the passage.

In the enormous passage, endless ghostly creatures nearly filled the entire space.

These ghostly creatures looked completely identical, resembling green-furred ghost monkeys. Their most notable feature was their claws, which were stark white and over half a meter long... Even in the pitch-black tunnel, one could feel the terrifying cold glint radiating from these stark white claws.

[Monster]: White Claw Vicious Ghost (Lord-level)

[Level]: 30

[Skill]: 1. Sharp Claw Rip

2. Death White Mark

[Description]: A super fighting machine cultivated by the Ghost King. It feels no pain and fights until Death.

The moment Lin Du appeared in the passage, countless pairs of eyes simultaneously focused on him.

Hooo—

Hoooo—

The passage became turbulent. All the White Claw Vicious Ghosts roared and charged together toward the invading enemy... The level 30 supreme secret realm has three stages, and this passage is the first stage.

There is no shortcut in this stage; they must kill all the White Claw Vicious Ghosts before proceeding to the next one.

The smaller passages Lin Du didn't choose earlier also belonged to the first stage.

Those small passages were relatively narrow and had fewer monsters, but the difficulty of dealing with those monsters was much higher than that of the White Claw Vicious Ghosts... In comparison, clearing this large passage was faster, as chopping vegetables requires no thought.

Furthermore, and most importantly, Lin Du was aiming for the experience points from these White Claw Vicious Ghosts. Hordes of Lord-level monsters are rare.

These White Claw Vicious Ghosts were enough to significantly raise his level!

Previously, almost 99% of the players sent by major factions fell in this first stage.

How could an ordinary player withstand over 1,000 Lord-level monsters... Lin Du flipped his wrist, and the silver charm blade appeared in his hand.

To survive the claws of so many White Claw Vicious Ghosts, extreme speed was essential.

Lin Du's figure flashed, instantly darting into the ghost horde ahead.

Swish—

Swish swish swish—

The White Claw Vicious Ghosts' weakness was the chrysanthemum. Lin Du transformed into a Chrysanthemum Killer, and every strike of the silver charm blade accurately hit a chrysanthemum... [Killed White Claw Vicious Ghost Lv. 30, gained EXP +12655, lifespan value +21.51 hours]

[Killed White Claw Vicious Ghost Lv. 30, gained EXP +12655, lifespan value +21.51 hours]

[Killed White Claw Vicious Ghost Lv. 30, gained EXP +12655, lifespan value +21.51 hours]

By the time Miss Bu Dong arrived, the passage was already in chaos, and the terrifying roars made her scalp tingle.

Looking at these White Claw Vicious Ghosts, unpleasant memories surfaced in Miss Bu Dong's mind.

The first time she came here, she was beaten out by these White Claw Vicious Ghosts. Returning to the scene now, it would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid... Miss Bu Dong soon saw Lin Du "chopping vegetables" as he darted among the White Claw Vicious Ghosts.

Watching Lin Du's elegant, dashing, and ghost-like figure, a look of shock gradually appeared on Miss Bu Dong's face.

Because this speed was actually faster than her own maximum state!

"Sequence 999 Clown is actually this powerful?"

"The Black-Hearted Boss's speed is so fast, he might actually clear the stage!"

While Miss Bu Dong was distracted, forty to fifty White Claw Vicious Ghosts had already fallen to Lin Du's hand.

All the White Claw Vicious Ghosts were defeated in a single hit; not one could withstand a second strike from the silver charm blade!

In the party state, Miss Bu Dong benefited from massive amounts of experience value.

Under the infusion of terrifying experience value, both their levels simultaneously rose to 30.

"What are you standing around for? Come help!"

Lin Du's shout diverted the attention of some White Claw Vicious Ghosts, and a large group lunged toward Miss Bu Dong.

Miss Bu Dong was greatly alarmed and quickly began dodging the pursuit!

"Black-Hearted Boss, help me!"

Lin Du looked at Miss Bu Dong running for her life, and a subtle curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Are you going to keep pretending?"

"I won't be coming to save you, you know!"

Upon hearing Lin Du's voice, Miss Bu Dong stamped her feet in anger. "Black-Hearted Boss, when did you find out!"

Lin Du did not speak, and Miss Bu Dong could no longer keep up the act.

"Ahhh!"

"Stinky Boss, you're so annoying!!"

Surrounded by the overwhelming horde of White Claw Vicious Ghosts, Miss Bu Dong gritted her teeth and lifted the black cloth covering her eyes.

Whoosh—

A pair of blood-red pupils suddenly appeared in the darkness!

These blood-red eyes were so cold they were devoid of any emotion, as if Death itself was looking down upon the mortal world.

Miss Bu Dong's long black hair floated without wind, and her entire demeanor changed. In the blink of an eye, a delicate, cute girl transformed into a fierce, emotionless killer.

Behind her, a phantom image of Death, seven or eight meters tall, slowly materialized.

Death held a giant scythe. With a gentle swing, a violent aura, like a landslide and tsunami, crushed the surrounding two dozen White Claw Vicious Ghosts into fragments... This was none other than the powerful Class ranked 31st among the 999 Sequences—White Night Death God!

"Black-Hearted Boss, my state won't last very long."

"Let's finish this quickly!"

Her demeanor changed, and Miss Bu Dong's voice changed too.

The cute girl now possessed an overbearing, older-sister aura. Her temperament and appearance instantly maxed out!

Lin Du felt Miss Bu Dong's transformation, and the smile on his face was almost impossible to suppress.

"I really struck gold!"

"Miss Bu Dong, are you interested in signing another contract?"
