As Gan Lingling was being dragged away by the tentacles, the others tried to rescue her, but even more tentacles surged out and blocked them.
After they severed all the tentacles blocking their way, they found that Gan Lingling had already been dragged to the entrance.
At this moment, they could only watch helplessly as Gan Lingling was captured by the BOSS.
It's impossible to rescue Gan Lingling now.
Fortunately, Gan Lingling told them the approximate location of the heart before she was dragged away.
"We can't save her, let's go find that heart," Cao Wenzhe shouted immediately.
The others agreed with Cao Wenzhe and immediately ran towards the place Gan Lingling had pointed out.
Although Gan Lingling's abilities are very important to them, things have already come to this point, and even if she didn't have them, it wouldn't affect the overall situation.
They wouldn't risk fighting the BOSS for Gan Lingling's sake.
Although they received the Instance's bonus effects, it's unrealistic to expect them to defeat the boss of Anomalous Instance with just that bonus.
They must find that heart.
Meanwhile, Gan Lingling had already been dragged back to the laboratory by those tentacles.
Her entire body was bound by those putrid tentacles, which blocked her eyes, mouth, and nose. Now, even moving was a luxury, let alone breaking free.
The stench almost made her faint, and she was filled with despair.
Although she knew she wouldn't die in the Instance, she was still terrified of what was about to happen to her.
The bosses in Anomalous Instance are notoriously cruel; falling into their hands could be worse than death.
But at that moment, she was helpless.
She was dragged into the laboratory by those tentacles and placed on the ground.
The tentacles that had been on her face gradually withdrew, and she was finally free from breathing that rotten air.
She breathed heavily, her neck now free, and turned to look in the direction of the tentacles.
She finally saw the source of those tentacles: the Instance's boss, the Mad Scientist.
Those tentacles came from his body.
When Gan Lingling finally saw the boss, she felt a chill run down her spine.
Although she knew the Instance boss was a mad scientist who had transformed himself into a monster, she never imagined that the monster would look so terrifying and disgusting.
She couldn't imagine what kind of person would transform themselves into this.
The monster's body was extremely bloated, covered with various rotten and bloody lumps of flesh. The flesh on its body seemed to be alive, wriggling slightly, as if it were breathing.
He no longer possesses many human characteristics.
He used cells from that heart to modify his body, but those cells went out of control, turning him into what he is now.
Falling into the hands of such a monster, she couldn't imagine what kind of torture she would suffer.
Despair and fear gripped her entire being.
The tentacles pulled her in front of the BOSS, and she almost screamed in fear.
At this moment, she understood that she couldn't retain her experience points. If she could die directly and be freed, she would feel extremely lucky.
However, this boss clearly wouldn't let her be so lucky.
The boss's tentacles flew out and started moving around the experimental equipment.
Various bottles containing unidentified liquids moved under his control, and the unidentified liquids were poured into a large beaker.
After a while, he prepared the unknown liquid, and one of the tentacles wrapped around the beaker and moved it in front of Gan Lingling.
Gan Lingling could already smell the pungent odor in the liquid; it was not only unpleasant but also carried a strong sense of danger.
She wasn't sure, but it seemed to be a corrosive liquid like sulfuric acid.
Gan Lingling didn't know what the BOSS was planning to do with those things, but she was certain it wasn't anything good.
Her biggest worry was that the boss would force her to drink what appeared to be sulfuric acid.
Her fears were quickly confirmed; the boss did indeed want her to drink the liquid.
Gan Lingling kept her mouth tightly shut; she didn't want to drink the liquid, but her strength was clearly no match for the BOSS. Her mouth was pried open, and the BOSS poured the liquid from the beaker into her mouth.
Although she managed to spit out most of the liquid, she still swallowed a small portion of the medicine.
As those things entered her stomach, a burning sensation spread throughout it, and at the same time, that burning sensation was corroding her stomach.
Her stomach was almost burned through.
A sharp pain shot through her, spreading from her stomach outwards, as if her entire body was being corroded away.
"You monster! What did you give me to drink?" Gan Lingling shouted through the excruciating pain.
But the boss didn't answer her; she felt as if her stomach had been completely corroded by the liquid.
The excruciating pain from the corrosion spread throughout her body, and she could no longer bear it, letting out a painful scream.
Her voice was so mournful that it echoed throughout the laboratory and even reached underground, chilling her teammates to the bone.
The liquid was still corroding her internal organs, but all she could do was scream in pain; she couldn't do anything else.
After receiving the Instance bonus, her Mental Attribute doubled, making her extremely sensitive to the changes in her body.
But this is definitely not a good thing, as it means she will feel the pain she is currently experiencing even more intensely, and she will have no chance of passing out.
"Kill me! Kill me!"
Gan Lingling screamed desperately, the excruciating pain was already unbearable for her, but her body was completely unable to move, so she could only pray that the BOSS would kill her as soon as possible.
But her prayers went unanswered.
The boss simply enjoyed watching her pained expression.
After a while, Gan Lingling's screams subsided considerably, because she was finally about to die.
The BOSS then cut open one of its tentacles and dripped some blood onto Gan Lingling.
The blood seemed to come alive, immediately seeping into her skin and entering her blood vessels.
The blood mixed with Gan Lingling's own blood, altering her body.
With the help of that blood, her body's regenerative abilities became stronger, rapidly repairing her corroded and rotten internal organs.
But this is not a good thing either, because the pain is not over yet, and the newly repaired internal organs are corroded by those liquids again.
But she won't die anytime soon; she will suffer even more pain.
Feeling the changes in her body, Gan Lingling was almost driven mad.
Her body had clearly reached its limit; if she had held on any longer, she would have truly died. But now, she didn't even have the right to die.
"Please! Let me go!" Gan Lingling cried out again.
This time, she was pleading sincerely. She understood that once she fell into the hands of this monster, she could no longer make decisions about anything, not even her death, which required the BOSS's consent.
Therefore, all she could do was plead.
However, this emotionless monster paid no heed to her pleas. He dragged his bulky and clumsy body to Gan Lingling.
The tentacles lifted Gan Lingling's body up, and several more tentacles picked up the scalpel on the table. The scalpel cut open Gan Lingling's clothes and skin at the same time.
Crimson blood seeped out, gleaming brightly against her snow-white skin.
Gan Lingling watched all of this in terror. At that moment, she felt that death was the happiest thing in the world.
