At this moment, Li Xingyu suddenly realized that the thing he regretted most in his life was that he hadn't chosen to cut off his own head.
Now, with the special bonuses from the game, his physical recovery ability has been greatly enhanced, and his throat-slitting act was not enough to kill him.
This is absolutely a huge mistake.
Not dying by his own hand means he will be tortured to death by this BOSS.
Fear was relentlessly eroding his body; he was trembling all over, and he didn't even dare to look at the warden.
Because that was an absolutely ferocious Demon.
Faced with this Demon, he had no desire to resist whatsoever.
All resistance is futile; it only excites the Demon more.
He had no choice but to accept his fate.
"No!" he screamed inwardly, fear only strengthening his resolve to die.
He struggled to control his hand, gripped the knife tightly, and plunged it into his temple.
This is the fastest way to kill yourself.
But before he could thrust his knife forward, a cold glint flashed, and his wrist was severed, the knife flying away along with his severed hand.
A sharp pain shot through the severed wound. Li Xingyu gripped the wound on his wrist with his other hand and rolled on the ground in agony.
But he gritted his teeth and didn't scream.
However, he was even more desperate. Having lost a hand, he no longer had the possibility of committing suicide in front of the BOSS.
For him, being able to commit suicide in front of this BOSS would be the greatest victory.
But now, he has suffered a complete defeat.
Without a doubt, what happened to his two teammates will also happen to him.
Li Xingyu could no longer hold back. He roared in despair, struggled to his feet, and staggered outside.
But that evil and incredibly cruel warden would never let him escape.
He had only run three or four steps when he felt a chill behind him.
A gleaming axe flew past his neck.
But the axe didn't sever his neck; instead, it grazed his neck, flew onto his body, and the chain on the axe looped around his neck.
Li Xingyu stopped; he couldn't run any further.
The warden pulled hard on the chain, pulling his body back and causing him to lie directly on the ground.
The last glimmer of hope has vanished.
"Kill me, please kill me!" Li Xingyu pleaded, lying on the ground.
However, the emotionless warden paid no heed to his pleas.
Words could not touch the warden's cold heart; only screams could.
The axe severed his other hand, as a form of response.
Li Xingyu could no longer hold back, and a shrill scream escaped his lips.
Fear had gripped his entire being; he was on the verge of collapse.
There was no room for luck; no matter what method he used, he could not die easily.
He will have to pay the price for failing to commit suicide.
The screams continued, the cries were incredibly shrill, and it took almost half an hour before Li Xingyu finally stopped screaming.
His voice was hoarse, and he had no strength left in his body.
Almost no part of his body was unscathed; his skin was covered with gruesome wounds, each one deep enough to expose bone, yet all avoiding the most vital areas.
Therefore, he is not dead yet; his powerful regenerative abilities allow him to continue.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will not die even if several more hours pass.
Overwhelmed by excruciating pain, he was utterly desperate. His eyes lost their light; though he hadn't died, his heart was completely dead.
The cruel warden finally made his move, raising his axe high and severing Li Xingyu's head.
Li Xingyu was finally truly free.
Shen Hao looked at the corpse on the ground. Although he felt unsatisfied, he still killed the man.
The main problem is that this person no longer has the strength to scream, so continuing to torture them is pointless.
Fortunately, there was another team, otherwise the game would have been over.
"Your prey died in fear and despair, and you gained 3500 points of Fear Points."
After receiving the system notification, Shen Hao closed the Demon Domain.
Now he was even more certain that this game update was specifically targeting him.
The buffs those players received were indeed very strong; if it weren't for their Demon abilities, he would have been quite difficult to deal with.
However, this wasn't a bad thing either; he also gained some benefits.
He could enjoy the game more and gained more Fear Points.
Now, it's time to find another team.
He should prepare some "surprises" for those people.
"What exactly was that thing? How did it suddenly disappear?" Wu Yong asked, looking at the gray sky.
A gigantic eye appeared in the sky just now; that eye exuded an incredibly evil aura, making people feel uneasy.
Just one glance is enough to imprint that evil deeply on one's mind, instilling fear in one involuntarily.
The owner of that power was definitely an extremely powerful and evil being.
Fortunately, things are back to normal now; that thing disappeared for some reason.
However, the sudden appearance of that power still made people feel uneasy.
This type of power wasn't mentioned in the Instance guide.
They have complete Instance walkthroughs, so it's really unusual for a power they don't even know about to appear in Instance.
"I think it's the power of that thing. There's no need to worry; the stronger its power, the more advantageous it will be for us."
The speaker was a handsome man named Qiu Ming, whose eyes always conveyed calmness, confidence, and a touch of coldness.
He is the core of this team.
Their team consisted of only four people: three men and one woman.
They were matched together to Instance as a team, but because they couldn't find enough people at the time, this situation occurred.
However, no one in the team seemed worried about this.
Because they were quite familiar with each other, and because they obtained the complete Instance walkthrough through special channels.
I'm very confident I can clear this Instance.
"Is this an SS-rank Instance? It didn't seem that difficult. It's not much harder than the A-rank Instance I've participated in before," said the only woman in the team.
Her name is Fang Jing, and she is Wu Yong's girlfriend. Actually, she is not even in the 20th grade yet.
If it weren't for the team matchmaking system, she wouldn't even be qualified to enter this Instance.
"With us here, getting through customs will be a piece of cake," Wu Yong said with a smile.
"Consider it us helping you level up. From now on, just team up with us, and we guarantee you'll reach level 20 quickly."
Fang Jing hugged Wu Yong's neck and excitedly kissed him on the cheek.
A tall man looked displeased and gave Fang Jing a cold look. Fang Jing's excitement vanished, and she hid behind Wu Yong in fear.
The tall man was named Huo Jun. Even before entering the Instance, he was already dissatisfied with Wu Yong's insistence on bringing Fang Jing along.
He would definitely have left the team if the Instance hadn't already been successfully matched.
Qiu Ming was somewhat helpless. He had thought that forming a team to match Instance would be better, but he didn't expect this to happen.
This is even worse than a randomly matched team.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly after they entered the Instance. Another team drew fire for them, so they obtained the key quest item.
Now, it won't be long before we can clear this Instance.
"It's just ahead, we'll be there soon," Qiu Ming said, pointing ahead.
