Everyone looked at the corpse on the ground, and a sense of foreboding arose in their hearts.
Could this be the old man's corpse?
It's really strange that a corpse would suddenly fall from the sky when there's practically no one in the city right now.
Feng Sen was the first to recover from his shock. He suddenly ran a few steps forward, then leaped up, grabbing the wall with both hands and feet, and scrambled upwards at lightning speed.
He was incredibly fast, like a nimble gecko.
In just a few seconds, he had already rushed to the roof of a four-story building and stood at the highest point looking around.
"So? Did you find anything?" Wang Shan asked hurriedly.
"Nobody's here," Feng Sen jumped down from above again.
Everyone stared at the corpse before them, which was lying face down. Feng Sen walked over and turned the corpse's face towards them.
A face, wrinkled and so thin it was just skin and bones, appeared before him.
It is clear that the body belongs to an elderly person.
Feng Sen frowned and said, "Could this be the old man mentioned in the walkthrough?"
Jiang Zhichao stepped forward, glanced at it, and his face showed a look of horror.
Without a doubt, the person in front of me is the old man mentioned in the guide.
"How could this be? This is too much of a coincidence! He died as soon as we arrived?"
Wang Shan's face was full of disbelief. If it was just this old man who died, it wouldn't be surprising, after all, an S-level Instance is a real world.
What's strange is the time of death.
Just as Jiang Zhichao said, it's too much of a coincidence.
It just so happened that they entered the Instance, intending to find this old man.
Is someone targeting them?
Feng Sen looked around and then carefully examined the old man's body.
The body was found in the middle of the street; it was already dead before it fell.
Although he hadn't found any clues, he was still certain that the old man had been thrown down.
The buildings on both sides of the street were only three or four stories high, but the body appeared to have fallen from a much higher place.
He could imagine a very strong person killing the old man first, then throwing his body high into the air so it would fall to the ground.
But who killed this old man? And why?
Most importantly, that person deliberately threw the body down after they arrived, as if it were specifically targeted at them.
This is so strange.
Why would anyone target them? They're not even from this world.
What is the significance of targeting them?
Feng Sen shared his speculation, which greatly surprised the other three.
However, they all felt that Feng Sen's analysis made a lot of sense.
But who is targeting them?
None of the four of them had a clue.
"What do we do if this old man dies?" Jiang Zhichao asked. "How are we supposed to clear the Instance then?"
"I don't think it's a big problem," Feng Sen said.
"Although we cannot obtain the old man's blessing, this is not the key to passing the level."
Isn't there still that goddess trapped in the cage?
Wang Shan nodded and said, "Yes, it does have some impact, but it's not a big problem."
If we can meet the goddess and obtain the power she bestows upon us, we should be able to defeat the boss of this Instance.
There is still a possibility of clearing customs.
Hearing them all say this, Jiang Zhichao nodded, as if there was no major problem.
"Are you sure there won't be any problems?" Zhou Xinyu didn't have a guide for the Instance, so she didn't know the situation.
She still felt that, after all, this was an S-rank Instance, and given this unexpected incident, it was best not to take too many risks.
They shouldn't be thinking about how to get through; the most important thing is how to survive.
"There's a mysterious figure watching us inside the Instance. Could something unexpected be about to happen?"
"It's okay, this Instance is easy anyway. If we really can't beat it, we'll just give up. But we'll definitely survive," Jiang Zhichao said.
Wang Shan and Feng Sen both agreed.
This Instance is indeed simple; you just need to bypass the boss at night and enter the space inside the cage.
Find the goddess and obtain the power she bestows, and you'll basically be able to complete the game.
Whether this old man exists or not is not really a big deal.
Zhou Xinyu then said, "Do you think the mysterious person who killed the old man might be the boss of this Instance?"
Her words stunned the other three for a moment, then they scoffed. How could that be?
The boss of this Instance is a brainless zombie with a fixed pattern of behavior.
This is a safe zone; the boss won't come here, so the culprit is definitely not the Instance boss.
The three people gave Zhou Xinyu a brief explanation.
Zhou Xinyu said, "But I still think it's too risky. This whole thing is a bit eerie, and I have a very bad feeling about it."
The three ignored Zhou Xinyu's advice, because she didn't even have a strategy guide for the Instance, so they definitely couldn't listen to her.
Moreover, she is not Shaman-type Ability User with precognitive abilities, so her intuition is of no value.
"Now that the old man is dead, we need to make some serious plans."
Feng Sen squatted down, picked up a pebble, and drew a simple map of the city on the ground.
"We are currently in this position. If we go further north, we will reach the area where the BOSS appears, which is also the dangerous area of Instance."
At night, the BOSS will expend some of its power to fight against the black mist outside, which is when it is at its weakest.
It's still a bit dangerous to go into that area now, so let's wait until nightfall when the black fog appears before going in."
"So what do we do now?" Jiang Zhichao asked.
"We don't need to do anything now, we just need to wait for it to get dark."
After Wang Shan finished speaking, he took out a bottle of baijiu from his inventory, unscrewed the cap, and drank a few mouthfuls directly from the bottle.
He then extended the hand holding the wine bottle and addressed the other two men.
"Would you like some to perk you up?"
I bought this wine in Instance before, it's really potent.
"No," Jiang Zhichao and Feng Sen hurriedly shook their heads in refusal.
The three of them discussed it for a few more minutes and made a decision together.
We'll wait here, and then head straight into the danger zone at night to figure out how to clear the Instance.
As for the mysterious person who killed the old man, it is indeed a bit worrying, but they have also made relevant contingency plans.
In this Instance, as long as they obtain the goddess's power, the four of them will be virtually invincible and will have nothing to fear from the mysterious person.
But they must be careful that the mysterious person comes out to cause trouble at night.
But it's not a big problem.
At most, I'll give up on clearing the Instance.
They knew the BOSS's modus operandi and could completely guarantee that they wouldn't be killed by the BOSS.
Zhou Xinyu couldn't get a word in edgewise and could only follow their decision.
But she always felt something was wrong; that bad feeling just wouldn't go away.
She always felt that they had no chance of successfully clearing this Instance.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared on the street next to them.
Zhou Xinyu hurriedly pointed at the figure and asked, "Who is that?"
The three men quickly stood up and looked at the figure in the distance.
Could this be the mysterious person who killed the old man?
"Let's go take a look!" Feng Sen said hurriedly.
They were worried they wouldn't be able to find the mysterious person, but unexpectedly, the mysterious person showed up on their own.
This is a good thing; they might be able to resolve this potential problem.
