Ahead of them were a dozen or so long chains, which were originally meant to be used to bind something.
But at this moment, the chains lay scattered on the ground, and the things they bound were gone.
This is the place where the evil spirit is sealed, but where is that evil spirit?
Did it escape?
He's been imprisoned for who knows how many years; how could he possibly escape at this time?
Qiu Ming's gaze fell back to the ground. After observing it carefully, he was even more shocked, and even felt a sense of despair.
On the ground were fragments of unknown origin. These fragments were somewhat ethereal and almost covered the entire ground, rapidly evaporating and turning into ashes.
One can imagine that there should have been many more such fragments here.
An immense entity was shattered and scattered across the ground.
"Those are fragments left behind by a soul!"
Qiu Ming still found it hard to believe, but what he was seeing was definitely not an illusion, and fear gradually welled up in his heart.
"How is this possible!" But his reason still couldn't believe what he was seeing.
If he wasn't mistaken, the fragments left on the ground were indeed left behind by that evil spirit.
That means it's dead.
Moreover, he had died not long ago, and was cut into small, even pieces by some unknown force.
He couldn't imagine what kind of power could have shredded such a demon into pieces like that, without even a fight breaking out.
This is a demon personally sealed away by the Lord of the Netherworld; it can be compared to those Demigods.
Now that the Lord of the Netherworld is dead, such a being is the most powerful being in this world.
How could he be killed so easily?
That's absolutely impossible!
Qiu Ming rubbed his eyes hard; he simply couldn't accept all of this.
Looking at the somewhat crazed Qiu Ming, Wu Yong and Huo Jun both felt uneasy; they had never seen Qiu Ming like this before.
They simply couldn't understand what Qiu Ming had discovered.
"What's wrong? What's on your mind?" Huo Jun walked up to him and asked.
Qiu Ming's eyes flashed with madness, "It's dead! It's been killed!"
"Who was killed?" Huo Jun realized as soon as he finished speaking.
Those chains were meant to imprison that evil spirit, but now, that evil spirit is not here.
It hasn't been able to escape for so many years, and it's impossible for it to run away in just a little while.
This means it was killed.
Huo Jun's face was also full of shock. He never expected that his casual remark would come true.
But what kind of power could kill it?
Thinking about this, a sense of fear crept into my heart.
He then recalled what he had seen before entering: the corpses hanging in mid-air, their deaths incredibly gruesome; they must have suffered immense pain before their deaths.
Undoubtedly, there is an incredibly powerful yet extremely cruel being watching them from the shadows.
A chill emanated from his body, and he couldn't help but tremble.
At this moment, all four of them felt an unprecedented fear.
It is obvious that the being capable of killing that evil spirit can also kill them.
"How could that be?" Wu Yong said. "If you don't believe it, maybe we just haven't found the right place."
"No," Qiu Ming finally calmed down, "It really is it, it really is dead."
The Netherworld is different from our world. After the death of the Lord of the Netherworld, many powerful beings who previously dared not show themselves have emerged. Anything is possible in this world.
"So, there's an existence even more powerful than that evil spirit that entered this Instance?" Huo Jun asked, his brows furrowed.
"Definitely, otherwise what other power could accomplish such a thing?"
"That's true," Wu Yong said. "The boss here is actually quite weak and lacks intelligence. Something else must have entered this Instance."
Fang Jing asked in fear, "What should we do now? Aren't we in great danger?"
"Of course it's dangerous," Huo Jun said irritably.
This is such a dangerous Instance, and he even brought along a burden. He really wants to curse now.
"What do we do now?" Wu Yong asked Qiu Ming.
Qiu Ming glanced at the giant crystal beside him and said, "Find a way to destroy it. If we destroy it, we'll complete our mission."
"Once we leave this place, no matter how powerful it is, we have nothing to fear."
Wu Yong said, "How can we destroy it? It still contains powerful energy. If we destroy it, we will be in great danger."
We were blown up before we could even leave the Instance.
"Let's move a little further away first, I'll try."
After Qiu Ming finished speaking, he led everyone to the side, and they didn't forget to bring the doll with them.
They now consider the dolls to be one of them.
And he is a very important member of their team.
Even though the situation is not good now, they will not abandon this puppet.
The four hadn't gone far when suddenly a crisp sound came from behind them.
It's the sound of chains rubbing against the ground.
The sound was extremely piercing, causing a slight stinging sensation in everyone's eardrums.
The four immediately became alert and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
Their nerves were on edge, and their hearts were pounding.
If they weren't mistaken, the person who came was likely the one who killed that evil spirit and was now planning to attack them.
Even before meeting such an enemy, they felt a sense of oppression, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.
The three men fared slightly better, after all, they were of a higher level and had experienced more.
Fang Jing's level was too low; she was just there to gain experience. She never expected to encounter something like this, and she was almost on the verge of a breakdown.
But Wu Yong wasn't in the mood to comfort her, after all, he was in dire straits himself.
The sound grew closer, and everyone stared ahead, their expressions tense, almost forgetting to breathe.
Finally, a figure appeared before them.
It was a grotesque ghost with a long iron chain wrapped around its hand.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the ghost.
They certainly knew the ghost's identity; he was the warden of the Home of Evil Ghosts and the boss of this Instance.
"That scared me to death! I thought it was someone else, but it turned out to be the Instance boss," Wu Yong breathed a sigh of relief.
They weren't afraid of encountering this boss, because it wasn't an insurmountable opponent.
Although they only had three normal combatants, they were well-prepared, so surviving was quite easy.
If they perform well, they might even be able to kill the boss.
"Don't be too careless. His appearance now is also a problem, after all, there is a very powerful being watching us from the shadows."
We must deal with him quickly, or we'll have no way out.
"Understood," Huo Jun said.
Just as the four were about to take action, they suddenly heard a notification from the game system.
All four of them wore expressions of joy.
The difficulty of the Instance suddenly increased, and they received a special bonus in response.
