Players, Please Board the Train

The moment the Skinner saw the fish, his expression instantly shifted. He stomped into the shallow water, grabbed the fishing line, weighed it in his hand, and said, ”Well, well, over half a pound. In the nearly half a month I’ve been here, I haven’t caught a fish this big!”

Yang Can was suspicious, watching the Skinner switch expressions and personalities so seamlessly. Just as he hesitated whether to leave the dungeon, Xu Huo suddenly stood up and pointed towards the factory, ”That side is on fire!”

The Skinner leapt out of the river like a mountain crashing down and stormed over to Yang Can. He grabbed Yang Can’s head and slapped him twice before dragging him back, growling, ”Today, I’m going to slaughter these bastards!”

The Skinner’s five fingers seemed to be stuck in Yang Can’s head; Yang Can couldn’t resist at all and was dragged back to the factory.

The three entered through the front door. The Skinner checked the pelts and found nothing wrong, then saw thick smoke billowing from the pigpen side, with people shouting to put out the fire. He casually grabbed an empty bucket and rushed into the workshop!

Bang! As soon as he entered, he immediately slipped and fell flat on his back. A flying cable came from the side, wrapped around his ankle, and dragged him up to the beam!

Yang Can recognized the whip as Qin An’s tool and realized they had made the move. He dashed into the workshop, a three-meter-long thin white bone appearing in his hand. One edge of the bone was sharpened into a blade, which he swung with a whistle toward the Skinner’s neck!

However, the expected scene of decapitation never happened. The Skinner, hanging upside down, bent his arm to shield his head. The bone knife hit like steel, not only failing to cut through but also causing two cracks to form!

At the same time, Yang Can’s expression shattered. He cried out in pain, ”My tool!”

”Forget that!” Tang Pei flashed past him like the wind. ”Disable his left leg!”Poisoned darts darted around the Skinner, drawing fire while smearing toxin on his skin!

The Skinner’s violent thrashing put Qin An under great pressure. Gritting his teeth, he held on, ”Hurry up, I can’t hold much longer!”

”Almost there!” Tang Pei and Xian Dazhi had already climbed onto the beam. Xian Dazhi pinned the Skinner’s leg, while Tang Pei grabbed his ankle with both hands, shouting, ”You’re not you, I’m not me, you are me, I...”

Before Tang Pei could finish, the Skinner ignored Peng Fengnian’s interfering darts, swung forcefully, grabbed a nearby hair removal machine with one hand, and smashed it against the beam!

The beam collapsed with a roar. Tang Pei and Xian Dazhi had to retreat from the beam. The flying dust temporarily blocked their vision, but Qin An was pulled forward by his own whip. His face changed drastically as he was about to retract it when one end suddenly loosened, and a broken whip tail was thrown out!

In the dust, a tall shadow stood up. The players’ expressions all darkened!

Bang! Bang! The Skinner swung his steel-like arms, wildly throwing stones in all directions, roaring furiously, ”I’m going to twist all your heads off!”

The players retreated continuously, but unexpectedly, the Skinner slipped, crashed to the ground with a thud, and his left foot seemed to be dragged into the rubble pile caused by the beam’s collapse!

”Attack!” Peng Fengnian jumped through the window and lunged at the Skinner!

Immediately, Xian Dazhi, Qin An, and Yang Can surged forward, using all their strength to hold down the Skinner’s hands. Tang Pei took the opportunity to grab the Skinner’s leg:

”You’re not you, I’m not me! You are me, I am you!”

After shouting these two sentences, her expression visibly relaxed. The next second, she lifted a stone and smashed her own left leg!

Crunch!

Crunch!

One, maybe two cracking sounds echoed through the workshop. The next second, the Skinner screamed in pain, kicked Tang Pei away, abruptly straightened his upper body, and with a swing of his arms, threw the four players out!

The players hadn’t intended to fight to the death and retreated accordingly. Xian Dazhi even carried Tang Pei away.

The players opened up distance. Xu Huo retracted the string that had tripped the Skinner and stared at the Skinner’s left leg. When Tang Pei broke her own left leg earlier, the Skinner’s left leg must have broken too.

”This is that female player’s special ability,” Sima Xiao Er came up behind him. ”The guy surnamed Peng said he wanted to cooperate with us to save people, so I let them help. He told you to hurry; this ability only lasts five minutes.”

Xu Huo turned to look at him. ”They cleared the dungeon using human skin?”

Sima Xiao Er nodded. ”You’re right. The human skin used to clear the dungeon was hidden in those animal pelts.”

If human skin could clear the dungeon, then Zou Weichang’s death was just bad luck. The human skin was indeed one of the Skinner’s rare items. Thinking of how the Skinner’s other personality briefly awakened when the players cleared the dungeon, Xu Huo’s mind moved and he lowered his voice, ”You make the move.”

Sima Xiao Er nodded and turned to go outside.

Inside the workshop, the Skinner discovered his left leg was broken and went mad, smashing the thick cement floor with punches. Each punch left a deep pit. He kept hitting more than a dozen times, his ferocity exposing a beast-like madness!

This made the few players who wanted to take advantage of his injury to finish him freeze on the spot, completely afraid to approach.

At that moment, the front door of the workshop opened. Xu Huo walked in, smiling as he looked at the scene. ”Mr. Carl, your skills aren’t that great either. Need me to give you a hand?”

Peng Fengnian and the others were stunned. What was he playing at?

The Skinner’s face reddened. He stiffened his neck and said, ”Brother Wang, you make me laugh. Losing a leg is nothing. Even with just two hands, I can handle these small fry!”

”Don’t move!” Sima Xiao Er jumped through the window holding a woman’s painting and burning wood. ”Let the people in the pigpen out, or I’ll burn her to death!”

The woman in the painting was trapped inside the frame by a layer of tape. She seemed to feel the outside temperature, silently suffering while trying to avoid it, reaching out to the Skinner as if begging for help.

The Skinner’s teeth ground fiercely as he jumped up on one foot, lunging toward Sima Xiao Er!

Not just Sima Xiao Er, even Xu Huo was taken aback, but fortunately, Peng Fengnian and the others reacted quickly and immediately trapped the Skinner with whips, pulling him down.

Sima Xiao Er managed to escape, his face pale as he ran toward Xu Huo, but was stopped by a sharp look. He immediately turned and headed toward Peng Fengnian.

Xian Dazhi and Qin An each grabbed one end of a whip, choking the Skinner’s neck and barely holding him still. It seemed they were about to lose control of the berserk Skinner, when Xu Huo spoke again, ”She’s just a woman. Why delay business for her? Hurry up and deal with these people.”

”Besides, it’s just an item. It looks like a person but isn’t a real person.”

”Are you really going to let her go for that?”

Several players glared at Xu Huo angrily, but the Skinner stared straight at the woman in the painting, her face tearful and miserable. He looked reluctant. As the flames nearly reached the edge of the painting, he gritted his teeth and said through clenched teeth, ”Fine, I agree!”
