The steel nails were about to pierce Du Ze's body and end his life.

At that moment, a swarm of tentacles suddenly rushed towards Du Ze, knocking several steel nails to the ground. He failed to commit suicide.

Du Ze was stunned for a moment before realizing something was wrong; it was the BOSS preventing him from committing suicide.

"Quickly, help me kill me!" Du Ze shouted urgently.

Of course, he wasn't idle either; he didn't dare place all his hopes on his teammates.

He endured the intense itching all over his body, took out a dagger with one hand and stabbed it into his head, while simultaneously manipulating more steel needles to pierce himself.

He was determined to die in the Instance; he couldn't possibly fall into the hands of the BOSS.

Countless tentacles suddenly enveloped his body, and the dagger in his hand could no longer pierce his body even a fraction of an inch.

The steel needles he controlled with his mental power were also blocked by those tentacles.

The tentacles completely enveloped his body, rendering him unable to move.

Even with mental power, the steel needles could not be broken through those thick and tough tentacles.

He can no longer commit suicide.

He could only pin his hopes on his teammates, hoping they would kill him while they were at it.

But his hope was also dashed.

Because no one had time to kill him.

Upon seeing this sudden change, Zhu Heng, like Du Ze, initially wanted to commit suicide.

Although he was very unwilling, suicide was undoubtedly the best option for him now.

But just as he was about to commit Zhu Heng, his entire body was surrounded by those tentacles.

Now he can't even move.

The itching inside his body had a significant impact on him, greatly limiting his abilities; his speed and reaction time were noticeably slower than before.

In his current state, he is utterly incapable of fighting the BOSS, and even committing suicide in front of him is impossible.

Now, even if he wanted to die, he couldn't.

Du Ze and Zhu Heng both let out shrill screams, the intense itching inside their bodies tormenting them relentlessly.

However, they were all tightly bound by the BOSS's tough tentacles, unable to move at all, and scratching any itchy spots was an absolute luxury.

The intense itching nearly drove them to the brink of collapse. Their screams were exceptionally shrill, and the sound also affected the other two, sending a chill down their spines.

They dared not underestimate it any longer; this BOSS was far more powerful than they had imagined, no wonder it was Anomalous Instance that instilled fear in everyone.

They really shouldn't have any hope of clearing this kind of Instance.

Cao Wenzhe also understood why the two were in so much pain. He had read online that in a previous Anomalous Instance, the BOSS could control some strange insects.

Clearly, what they are encountering now are those insects.

Those insects parasitize the host, hatch, grow, reproduce, and constantly gnaw at the host's flesh and blood until the host dies.

This is undoubtedly a very painful process.

Clearly, these two people could not possibly be alive.

With two players missing, do they still have a chance to defeat this boss?

Of course, there wasn't even the slightest chance.

A sense of fear arose in his heart.

This fear made him realize what he had to do.

There's no way they can clear the Anomalous Instance; they can't even leave alive.

He now has only one option: to commit suicide, which is absolutely the best choice.

He can't afford to make another foolish mistake, or he'll miss this last chance.

Jiang Wen's thoughts were similar to Cao Wenzhe's at this moment; she knew that the situation was hopeless.

Now, being able to avoid falling into the hands of the BOSS, die with dignity, and end this Instance is already a very rare thing.

Therefore, choosing suicide directly is the wisest course of action, because they have already lost and have no choice but to admit defeat.

With so many precedents already set, there's no need for her to struggle any further.

The two made the decision to commit suicide almost simultaneously.

They were unaffected by the insects and were able to unleash their full potential.

So when the two of them were about to commit suicide at almost the same time, even the BOSS couldn't stop them.

But they still failed to commit suicide.

Suddenly, an eerie crimson color appeared before their eyes, and everything around them was enveloped in that crimson.

The color was strange and sinister, sending a chill down one's spine.

Their bodies were also invaded by that chilling cold, and they couldn't help but shiver.

Fear rose from the depths of their hearts, further fueling their determination to commit suicide.

But just as they were about to suffer fatal injuries, a massive and irresistible force suddenly surged forth from all around them.

This force pressed down on their bodies, freezing them like millennia-old ice, rendering them unable to move.

At that moment, if it weren't for the screams of the two men still echoing in their ears, they would have thought that even time had stood still.

That was a force they absolutely could not resist.

They were filled with shock and regret. That BOSS actually possessed such power. They should never have shown any disrespect for such power, and they should never have even thought about clearing the Anomalous Instance.

Trying to escape alive from Anomalous Instance is an absolutely foolish idea.

At that moment, fear spread throughout their bodies.

The screams of their two teammates echoing in their ears were driving them to the brink of collapse.

Because they are about to experience the same thing as these two.

If the boss is in a good mood, the torment they suffer may be even worse.

The itching that Zhu Heng and Du Ze had experienced had subsided, but now it had turned into intense pain.

Because the worms inside them have successfully hatched, are devouring their flesh and blood, and are constantly growing.

The excruciating pain nearly drove them both to the brink of collapse.

However, thanks to the Instance's bonuses, all aspects of their bodies have been greatly enhanced. They will not die in a short time, nor will they faint from pain.

They could only endure the torment, waiting for death to arrive.

They now deeply regret it; why didn't they choose to commit suicide as soon as they entered the Instance?

If they had committed suicide at that point, even the boss couldn't have stopped them.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the two people's shrill screams finally stopped.

After enduring a long period of torment, they were finally freed.

That period was undoubtedly the longest time of their lives, and they finally faced the thing they had been most looking forward to—death.

When the screams of their two teammates ended, Cao Wenzhe and Jiang Wen's hearts sank to the bottom.

The suffering of those two people is over, which means it's their turn next.

And what kind of suffering will they have to endure?

The two of them couldn't even imagine it.

The boss's brutality filled them with immense fear.

Now they finally understood why it was called Anomalous Instance.
