Warning! The evil god's minions are invading the eerie dungeon.

"What is he doing?!"

"Don't give up, you bastard lolicon!"

"Run! Run! What's the point of pretending now?!"

"It's over, it's finished."

At that moment, inside the instance, in the darkness, a red light suddenly appeared on Qi Xie's right middle finger.

It was as if some being was watching the world through the ring.

"The shadow is part of His name, after all. Using the shadow against me... you've come to the right person."

Qi Xie said calmly.

The next instant, where the shadow's head had been standing beneath his feet, a blood-red vertical eye suddenly opened, followed by one on his shoulder and body...

The second one, the third one...

At this moment, Qi Xie was in darkness, his shadow blending into the shadows.

So in a sense, all the shadows in the room were his shadow!

The blood-red vertical eyes were no longer confined to the original location of the shadow, but kept opening in every corner of the room.

An eerie aura gradually enveloped every corner of the darkness.

The next moment, a figure, emaciated and nearly three meters tall, was squeezed out of the darkness of the wall.

The figure was bent over, crawling on the ground, its pair of dark green, dead fish eyes filled with shock and fear.

"No! This is impossible!"

Anne's mother struggled frantically, her claws and legs still trapped in the shadows.

As the Shadow Fiend, she should be at ease in the shadows, but now the shadows feel like solidified plaster to her.

The shadows were no longer her domain; instead, they controlled her and bound her.

Whoa!

Qi Xie slowly approached, dragging his blood axe on the ground with a terrifying sound.

"Stop struggling. If this thing is so trash that you can break free, I'll turn around and mix wall plaster into its food."

Anne's mother looked up shakily.

The original Shadow Domain was a completely invisible darkness, but now a crimson light illuminates this space, the source of which comes from countless blood-red vertical eyes on the ceiling, walls, and floor.

At this moment, all those vertical eyes were staring at her with an eerie, cold, and thirsty gaze...

In the crimson light, the young man stood before her, dragging his blood axe, looking down at her, the same crimson light flashing deep within his dark eyes.

She couldn't understand what Qi Xie was saying, but that didn't diminish her shock and confusion.

She worked hard and diligently, killing no fewer than a hundred participants.

I worked diligently through the beginner-level eerie dungeons for over a year, striving to improve myself.

They even used their spare time to consult other supernatural beings, earnestly learning how to make humans die in the most painful and devastating way.

After working on this for over a year, we finally got upgraded.

Then, right after opening, we encountered this thing.

This arrogant and domineering young man burst through the door and attacked her spawn point, pointing his finger at her.

Then he took out two level-three sealed artifacts and beat her to a pulp.

No, judging from the force with which he kicked the door, it's clearly not something an ordinary human could possess. He also has a bizarre skill that's at least C-level or higher.

Two level-three sealed artifacts, and a bizarre skill that is at least level C.

Is this person a newbie??

Is the job market really that bad right now? Is the pressure from restricted-level content really that high?

"Who...who exactly are you?"

As Annie's mother watched Qi Xie slowly raise the blood axe, she roared with bloodshot eyes.

She wanted to die knowing why.

"Didn't I already say that?"

Qi Xie's strong arm muscles bulged.

The blood axe slashed through the air, leaving a trail of blood and spraying up filthy blood, accompanied by piercing screams.

"Your father."

At that moment, a flurry of footsteps echoed in the stairwell. Tiger led the way, followed by a short-haired woman and a spirited young man, who frantically rushed upstairs.

A piercing scream suddenly erupted from the second floor, accompanied by the sound of sharp objects slicing through flesh, echoing in the stairwell.

"broken!"

Tiger stopped in his tracks, his face grim.

"That guy was killed by Annie's mom?! Oh no, Annie's mom might be enraged. If she killed someone outside the studio, she might break free of the rules!"

The energetic young man behind him had a ferocious expression and cursed viciously:

"Damn it! That son of a bitch deserves to die! What a load of crap! Now we're all going to be killed by that bastard! Damn it! If I'd known he dared to act tough down there, I would have slept with him!!!"

But in reality, he didn't overtake Tiger; in fact, he lagged slightly behind the short-haired woman. He simply looked at Tiger and said fiercely:

"Brother, you're the most authoritative person here. You make the decision: should we sell it and leave it at that, or go up and take a look?"

Tiger turned around and glared at the energetic young man, who lowered his head slightly to avoid his gaze.

Then, he turned back to look at the second floor, his eyes slightly narrowed.

He could tell that the energetic young man was scared, and wanted him to go up and take the lead to see what was going on, but he also had his own plans.

As a seasoned pro, he is adept at judging a person's situation from subtle details in their demeanor.

For example, he could easily judge the personalities of the three people other than Qi Xie, and then apply pressure to take the initiative.

Only Qi Xie.

He had never seen such a look in his eyes before, as if he had been driven mad several times, cared about nothing anymore, and then completely lost his mind and gave up, feeling that the worst that could happen was death.

Such people are not uncommon in the traveler community, after all, every time they enter a bizarre dungeon, they are walking a tightrope between life and death.

The blood axe in Qi Xie's hand is clearly a sealed artifact, just like his dagger.

Such a person is clearly not someone to be trifled with; at the very least, they are capable.

So there's another possibility: either Qi Xie and Annie's mother fought to the death, resulting in mutual injury, or Qi Xie severely injured Annie's mother before he died.

In this situation, there is a high probability that if he takes the lead, he can seize all the spoils without taking any damage.

Greed lingered in his heart for a moment, then Tiger gritted his teeth and finally said coldly:

"Let's go up and take a look!"

As he spoke, he seemingly casually pulled out the dagger from his waist and held it in his hand.

The short-haired woman noticed this scene, her eyes widened slightly, she pursed her lips, and hesitantly turned her head to look behind her.

However, the energetic young man behind her didn't look at her, but followed cautiously. The cowardly office worker who suddenly appeared behind him also followed, panting heavily.

The short-haired woman was slightly taken aback, feeling a bit strange.

Has this office worker's health deteriorated to this extent? It seems even worse than hers, a girl's.

Going to work is indeed the most damaging thing to one's body.

"You guys... slow down... you're running too fast, I can't keep up..."

The overworked male employee, panting, passed by the short-haired woman, glanced at her nervously, and whispered breathlessly:

"Those two are no good. Don't follow them too closely, or they might use you as a pawn to test your limits."

The short-haired woman was taken aback, then lowered her head and followed.

The group went up to the second floor.

The dim yellow lights in the corridor flickered, and the studio at the end was shrouded in darkness, which even extended into the corridor, as if some terrifying being was lurking in the studio, reaching out its shadowy tentacles.

On those shadowy tentacles, several blood-red vertical eyes were staring straight at the group.

"[The Shadow Realm]...can it really cover such a large area?"

Tiger Brother broke out in a cold sweat and muttered:

"What are those blood-red vertical eyes? They weren't mentioned in the previous intelligence reports. Has it evolved strangely...?"

Tap... Tap... Tap...

Suddenly, faint footsteps could be heard in the studio.

Everyone tensed up instantly.

The young man with the blood-stained axe slung over his shoulder stepped out of the room, his entire body, even his hair, stained with blood. The others could even clearly see a few drops of blood dripping from the ends of his hair into his open collar, sliding down his fair collarbone and into his blood-soaked clothes.

The young man wiped the blood off his face, then swept his hair back with the blood on his hand to keep it from dripping onto his face.

In an instant, everyone gasped in unison, all having the same thought:

Has a new boss appeared in this dungeon?
