Chapter 1240 Shame and Anger
Boom——! ! !
A dull, powerful bang, mixed with Qianjie's signature violent roar, suddenly exploded from somewhere in the woods!
"Alicea! Velvet! You two—!!!"
That roar was filled with raging fury and... a hint of incredible shame and indignation. Then, an even more intense "puff puff puff puff" sound, like a torrential rain beating against sheet metal, erupted. The sound was so intense, it felt like dozens of water guns were firing simultaneously!
In a specially cleared clearing in the forest, Qianjie was like a mad lion caught in a trap, falling into an unprecedented predicament!
His towering form was firmly engulfed by a massive web of slime, shimmering with a pink halo of energy! The web, composed of countless fine threads dripping with a silvery-white solution, was incredibly tough. Despite Qianjie's furious roars and struggles, his terrifying brute force was unable to rip it apart! The slime not only restricted his movements but also corroded his clothing, emitting soft hissing sounds and emitting plumes of smoke!
And just above Qianjie's head, a device resembling a giant showerhead, specially crafted by Wei Erwei, was suspended in mid-air, facing Qianjie below! Every hole in that "showerhead" was frantically and continuously spewing out a powerful stream of fluorescent silver-white dissolving liquid! Like a saturation attack from a high-pressure water gun, it continuously washed over Qianjie's body!
"Hahaha! I finally caught one! Saturated dissolution mode! Maximum power!" Wei Erwei's voice was filled with excitement.
"Master Qian, stop struggling and accept the 'baptism' obediently! This is the VIP package we specially prepared for you~?" Alicia stood on the treetop not far away, holding something that looked like a remote control in her hand.
Qianjie's roar was drowned out by the roar of the gushing slime. He twisted his body frantically, trying to burn the damned net with the power of fire, but the slime seemed to be extremely fire-resistant. The moment the flames ignited, they were extinguished by the slime and the solvent! Every time he exerted force, the slime net tightened, and the solvent seeped in faster!
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
Under the continuous and saturating attack, Qianjie's vest, already tattered from the previous battle, melted away at a visible speed, like a piece of paper dropped into strong acid! His strong, knotted muscles and battle-scarred skin were exposed to the cold air and sticky liquid!
"Stop it!!" Qianjie's voice was hoarse and distorted with extreme shame and anger. He tried in vain to shield his vitals with his arms, but the clothing and arm guards on his arms were rapidly dissolving! Soon, he was practically stripped naked, save for a few tattered strips of cloth around his waist, crumbling from the erosion of the liquid. His muscular, flawless body shimmered in the slime and moonlight, yet it was filled with the fury of humiliation.
"Wow~?" Alicia whistled, shielding her eyes with her hands but peeking through her fingers. "Master Qian's figure... is really quite good~"
"Oh my! Look who's that? A barbarian caught in a trap?" Mebius had appeared on a tree branch next to Alicia at some point, his arms folded, his serpentine eyes filled with amusement and gloating. Seeing Qianjie's miserable state, she couldn't help but think of Zijing... Tsk, Alicia was such a loser! She claimed to have a foolproof plan, but she ended up losing him right at the start of the game.
I had already prepared the camera to take pictures, but I wasted so much time only to record the dark history of an old man and a barbarian... It's really not worth it. I might as well go and accompany Klein.
"Alicea--!!! Velvet--!!! Mobius--!!! I'm going to kill you--!!!" Qianjie completely lost his temper! Unprecedented shame and anger overwhelmed his rationality. He was surrounded by blazing flames, trying to make a final struggle, even if it meant perishing together with him, he would burn these damned women to death!
however--
puff!
An extremely fine silver light shot out from Wei Erwei's device like a poisonous snake and accurately hit Qianjie's exposed neck!
"Ugh!" Qianjie's body suddenly stiffened, as if all his strength had been drained away. The flames around him instantly extinguished, and the rage in his eyes was replaced by weakness. His tall body swayed, and finally, with a loud thud, he fell to one knee, completely submerged in the web of mucus and dissolving liquid. Only heavy breathing and a suppressed, low growl like a trapped animal remained.
"Oh, we can't let you destroy our equipment." Velvet smiled, but Mebius felt that this scene was familiar and stared at Velvet dimly.
"Game over! Master Qian, gloriously 'out!'" Alysia announced cheerfully, pressing a button on the remote. The "dissolving showerhead" in midair ceased spraying and slowly retracted. The slime net also shimmered, automatically unraveling and shrinking like a living thing, finally vanishing. Only Qian Jie, drenched in slime, nearly naked, knelt on the ground, panting heavily, filled with shame and indignation.
Retracting his gaze that seemed to want to tear Vivi into pieces, Mebius jumped lightly down from the tree branch and commented to the almost naked Qianjie: "...a block of muscle with no aesthetic value." Then he left the scene leisurely.
Alicia and Velvet also put away their equipment with a smile, turned around and disappeared into the dark woods to look for their next target.
In the clearing, only Qianjie remained, his body radiating a slimy sheen, like a shelled lobster, emitting a terrifying low pressure and a tangible fire of shame and anger. He suddenly punched the nearby tree trunk!
boom!
The thick tree trunk broke with a sound!
"...I'm... not done with you...!!!" Qianjie squeezed out a few words, his voice hoarse and filled with the urge to destroy everything. He stood up suddenly, not even bothering to hide. Covered in slime and raging with rage, he bolted towards the beach camp—where spare clothes were kept! Every step he took left a deep, slimy pit in the ground!
Kosmo, hiding in the shadows, silently watched Qianjie's naked, furious, and murderous figure disappear into the depths of the woods. He then glanced at the bubbling pool of slime and the broken tree trunk on the ground...
He shrank back silently and unnoticeably, hiding himself deeper in the shadow of the bushes. At the same time, he lit another candle for Qianjie in his heart and reaffirmed his belief that he must not be caught.
