ACIFITFDB – Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Skills and Weapons Online!

The villager’s fingers were forcibly pulled from their joints, blood gushing from the wounds and soaking the fabric of his sleeves.

“Ughhhhh!” The villager gritted his teeth, sweat pouring down his face, too much pain to even get up from the ground.

His companions, watching from the side, broke out in a sweat. After several seconds, they reacted, picking up the severed fingers and dragging their comrade away.

Another villager charged forward in anger, “You motherfucker!”

He raised his leg, aiming to kick Qin Xian’s head.

Qin Xian hadn’t used much force, and the villager holding him had relaxed his guard, not even paying attention to defense.

So, facing the flying foot, Qin Xian suddenly exerted force and dodged to the side. The villager’s leg directly kicked his companion. The distracted companion took the full force on his soft waist, clutching it with both hands and crying out, stars practically bursting from his eyes.

“Fuck, you kicked me! Send this kid to the dark web livestream room! Skin him alive, take out his organs, and let’s see if he’s still so arrogant!”

“Alright, that’s what we’ll do.” The villager said to Qin Xian, “This is what you brought on yourself. You could have lived a good life, stripped for wealthy women on the livestream. Now you’re just a lamb to the slaughter.”

Qin Xian remained expressionless, showing no fear.

The villagers became even angrier, sneering, “Still the same expression? Take them to see the other livestream rooms. After they’ve seen them, I want to see if he can still keep that expression. Hmph.”

This idea was met with support from the others. “Good, good, good! Seeing him like this just makes me angry! Get up! Come with us.”

The villagers pulled Qin Xian up from the ground, as did Huang Quxie beside him.

Qin Xian didn’t resist, getting up obediently and walking forward with the villagers’ force. But this time, the villagers didn’t dare to be careless. A total of four people, armed with weapons, walked beside Qin Xian, nervously watching his every move.

Qin Xian walked with ease, observing his surroundings.

He had thought the temporary structures on the surface were the worst this village had to offer, but he hadn’t expected what lay underground to be even more outrageous.

The entire underground area was constructed from strange materials. The floor, walls, and ceiling were a mixture of flesh and machinery, similar to the abnormalities on the monsters.

In addition to these bizarre structures, dense cables writhed everywhere. These cables were black and dark red, their casings covered in sticky filth. They were alive, their occasional writhing movements resembling worms, making one feel disgusted just by looking at them.

Perhaps because it was packed with strange things, this underground space didn’t seem very large, with only a few rooms.

Each room, like the surface, was equipped with livestreaming equipment. The rooms also contained operating tables, instrument stands, and some even had restraint chairs, rocking horses, waterbeds, and a pile of other things that would require censorship.

Inside the rooms, one or more people were suffering.

Qin Xian and Huang Quxie passed the first room and saw a person lying on a bloody operating table. He was screaming incessantly, while a monster with a camera for a head ignored him, using a scalpel to cut his skin. Blood poured from the open wounds, covering the floor.

On the large electronic screen opposite, the “surgery” was being broadcast, the entire screen filled with red and no censorship.

This was clearly not a normal livestream, and the audience was far from normal.

Bullet comments continuously scrolled by:

[This muscle, so fresh and beautiful]

[Cut the artery on his hand! If you cut it, I’ll tip twenty thousand!]

[Don’t just point the camera at the incision, I want to see this pig’s pained expression, hehehe.]

The camera monster emitted a mechanical electric current sound, interacting with the audience: “Haha, as long as you tip, I’ll fulfill everyone’s requests, but we have to take it step by step. From skin to organs. If we kill him right away, it won’t be fun.”

Qin Xian frowned as he watched. The villager holding him, seeing that he finally showed a change in expression, grinned and leaned in, “See? This will be your fate in a moment.”

Qin Xian rolled his eyes at him, then returned to his expressionless state.

Huang Quxie, on the other hand, had turned pale, his teeth clenched. He stared at the villagers as if he would pounce and bite them at any second.

Seeing this, the villager angrily said, “Still not scared? If you’re not afraid of blood, are you afraid of this!?”

With that, he dragged Qin Xian to the next room.

Inside, a handsome man with a muscular physique lay there. His eyes were vacant as he stared at the camera. Black, thick wires from various angles bound and inserted into him, suspending him in the air.

The man moaned in pain, tears streaming from his eyes.

The villager laughed, “How about it? How about we let you stay in this livestream for a while before taking you to the operating table?”

Qin Xian looked up and gave his enemies a mocking smile, “I think… not so good!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the wrist of the villager behind him and twisted it downwards.

“Crack!” The man’s wrist dislocated, and he fell to the ground screaming.

Qin Xian took the opportunity to break free, raising his arm and using his elbow to strike the villager who was grabbing Huang Quxie. The joint of his elbow smashed into the man’s fragile face.

“Ahhh!!” The villager lost the ability to stand and fell backward onto the ground, unconscious.

Huang Quxie also took the chance to break free and, with a judo throw, slammed an approaching villager onto the ground.

Qin Xian yelled at him, “Isn’t it time for the gun now?!”

Huang Quxie pulled out his handgun and shot a monster in the head, “I know! But what about your trump card?”

Blue flames suddenly ignited in Qin Xian’s hand, and a black long whip appeared in his grasp.

Qin Xian swung the whip, and it made a whistling sound as it directly snapped off a monster’s metal leg.

Huang Quxie looked at the whip, unable to discern its material, but it was incredibly destructive when swung.

With the whip in hand, Qin Xian’s aura became even more terrifying. He stood in place without moving, and with a flick of his arm, he shattered the head of an enemy three meters away.

“Crack!”

With one swing, the villagers and monsters who tried to charge forward suffered wounds that exposed bone.

“Crack!”

With another swing, the nearest monster was caught by the neck and dragged to Qin Xian, who stomped on its camera head and crushed it.

Huang Quxie, meanwhile, shot two monsters at the other end before approaching Qin Xian and asking, “What next? Where do we go?”

Qin Xian’s eyes flashed gold for a moment. He pointed to a dark patch of wall in the distance and said, “Over there.”

Huang Quxie glanced over. That wall was covered in all sorts of cables, looking nothing like an entrance.

That “wall” seemed to sense their intentions. Cables of various colors surged and suddenly sprayed towards Qin Xian.

Qin Xian swung his whip fiercely, but a whip was almost useless against equally flexible cables. After several lashes, he only managed to break one or two.

But the rest still surged towards them like a tidal wave. Qin Xian, facing them, seemed incredibly small.

Huang Quxie cried out in alarm, “Careful!”

Qin Xian stared intently ahead. Just as the cables were about to bind him, blue flames suddenly ignited at the end of the whip.

The passing cables grazed the flames, and the fire immediately clung to them like a malignant growth.

The cables paused, seemingly in great pain, writhing and flailing to extinguish the flames.

But not only could the flames not be put out, any other unaffected cables that touched them immediately ignited.

A piercing shriek came from the depths of the room. The cables thrashed more violently, knocking over the surrounding livestreaming equipment. The villagers screamed and fled in terror.

Scattered monsters rushed forward to help, but after being splashed by the flames, they soon rolled into a pile of ashes.

Huang Quxie, who was busy rescuing the victims in the livestream rooms, was startled by the inextinguishable flames that killed anything they touched.

When the flames splashed onto his hand, he was so scared he was ready to sever his own arm to save himself. However, the flames seemed not to burn allies and quickly died out.

Huang Quxie stared in disbelief, “Brother, is that Samadhi True Fire or the Void Devouring Flame?”

But he received no answer. Huang Quxie turned his head and saw that Qin Xian’s face was clearly pale. It seemed using these flames was not easy and likely had severe negative effects on the user.

The cable monster also seemed to realize that the fire was unusual. The previously struggling cables deactivated one by one and fell to the ground, lying motionless as they were consumed by the flames.

Looking closely ahead, the wall that had been covered in cables had disappeared, revealing its terrifying true form.

A giant monster, curled up in a fetal position in a hole, its head composed of dozens of monitors of various sizes. However, the monitors still retained parts of human flesh.

Countless cables extended from the monster’s back, filling the entire space.

And now, it was screaming as it severed its own limbs, preventing the flames from reaching its core. Large amounts of severed limbs fell to the ground, even piling up half a meter high.

The blue flames quickly engulfed the severed limbs, and soon only piles of ashes remained on the ground. The surrounding villagers had already fled. The less intelligent monsters, after being burned and thrashing around, fell to the ground and died.

In just a few minutes, the underground area became much quieter.

Huang Quxie walked to Qin Xian’s side, reaching out to help him, “Hey, are you okay? Here, have some water.”

Qin Xian avoided his hand but took the water and drank nearly half a bottle in gulps. He wiped his mouth and let out a long sigh, leaning against the earth wall that had now revealed its original form.

The blue flames on the ground had not completely extinguished. The giant monster ten meters away dared not attack. But its nearly a hundred monitor-like heads blinked with a single large eye, staring intently at Qin Xian, as if it wanted to rush over and devour him the next second.

Qin Xian smiled. Although he looked exhausted, he still extended his hand towards the monster and gave it the middle finger.

Huang Quxie: “Hey…”
