Chapter 112: Terrifying Beyond Measure

The scene before them was utterly horrifying.

Those fully armed special forces soldiers and the ordinarily gentle civilians—all of them had transformed into frenzied beasts, their mouths stained with blood as they gnawed on the corpses of the snowmen.

Their eyes were bloodshot.

Their breaths were heavy and ragged, accompanied by furious roars.

They resembled nothing less than a horde of zombies scattered across the ground.

In an instant, the live stream of this small internet celebrity, who had seized the trending topic, skyrocketed in popularity. A crowd of uninformed viewers flooded the chat with messages.

“Oh my god! The Godslayers are so cruel!”

“Snowmen are so adorable! We must protect them!”

“Yes, these are legendary creatures. In terms of rarity, they’re even more precious than giant pandas!”

Seeing that the tide of comments was swayed by her, the young influencer seized the moment.

“Dear fans!”

“I know none of you can bear to watch this cruel scene.”

“I believe I have a duty to stop them!”

She raised her phone and approached the civilians and special forces soldiers who were feasting on the snowmen’s corpses. Her face was suffused with compassion and sorrow, like a saintly mother, as she commanded, “Stop!”

“How can you chew on these snowmen like animals?”

“These are national treasures! Rare creatures!”

“How can you Godslayers be so uncivilized? Everyone, stand up and apologize!”

“You owe these snowmen an apology!”

She spoke loudly.

Yet no one paid her any heed. The civilians, tearing into the bloody flesh of the beasts with their teeth, lifted their heads. Their eyes were bloodshot and expressionless as they stared at the young girl.

Apologize?

How could that be?

They would gladly tear those snowmen, who had taken their loved ones, limb by limb.

Seeing her ignored, the influencer gritted her teeth and pointed at the civilians and soldiers. “You’ve gone too far!”

“Better watch your mouth,” Lin Fan said grimly, emerging from the depths of the cave upon hearing the commotion.

He truly hadn’t expected this.

Every special forces team had fought tooth and nail. Under Lin Fan’s leadership, the Godslayers had engaged in a life-or-death struggle against the snowmen inside the cave.

And just after their victory, a self-righteous saint appeared?

Standing on the side of the snowmen, no less, blaming them?

This was... despicable! Worse than the snowmen themselves!

“I won’t shut up!” The influencer, seeing Lin Fan — who had appeared on television and was famed for his ruthless combat — felt a flicker of fear, but still raised her phone boldly. “Dear fans, look! The military is so brutal in their slaughter, and they want us to keep quiet!”

“We must fight against tyranny!”

“We must speak for the weak!”

As the influencer grew more impassioned, Lin Fan’s face darkened. “Come with me.”

Before she could resist, Lin Fan grabbed her clothes and dragged her into the cave.

“What are you doing?” The influencer was startled and chilled by the darkness inside the cave. “What do you want from me?”

It was laughable.

Some risked their lives atop Tianshan Mountain to protect their compatriots, fighting fiercely in the den of the beast.

Yet there were always those who, though being protected, chose to stand on a moral high ground to indiscriminately accuse—and even deliberately slander—the very people defending them.

All for a bit of internet fame, for a few scraps of profit.

Such people deserve to be nailed to the pillar of shame!

And when true danger comes, those who judge others from their lofty perch dare not take a single step forward.

“What are you doing? Is there no law?”

“Don’t drag me! Let go!”

“Dear fans, you’ve seen it! The Daxia military is forcibly dragging me away. I have no idea what they intend to do!” The influencer screamed hoarsely, deliberately wearing a terrified expression.

The chat immediately rallied to her defense.

“This is outrageous! How dare they forcibly seize our streamer!”

“Exactly! What do they think this is? Just because it’s Daxia, they can do whatever they want?”

“The streamer was just standing up for justice. They slaughtered and ate the snowmen, and she only said a few words. Now they want to go after her?”

Yet Lin Fan remained unmoved. No matter how much the influencer cried and played the victim, he continued dragging her arm deeper into the pitch-black cave.

“Look,” Lin Fan shouted, “this is why we had to kill those snowmen!”

Inside the cave lay human skeletons—some fresh corpses still partially eaten.

Others, untouched but piled in the corner.

The cave walls were stained deep red with blood, the stench overwhelming. Bloody scratch marks gouged into the walls spoke of desperate struggles in the moments before death.

Countless civilians wept and cried out as they searched among the bodies, hoping to find their loved ones.

Silence fell.

The influencer stared blankly at the scene, her livestream capturing it all.

Hell on earth!

“Wow! Why are you showing me this? It’s so terrifying... so terrifying...” She broke down in tears and spun around, attempting to flee.

“No leaving!” Lin Fan grabbed her collar and pointed at the bones. “You look closely. This is why we had to kill the snowmen!”

“They are not national treasures!”

“No matter how rare, they are beasts—despicable beasts that deserve to die!”

“Do you have any questions left?”

Lin Fan was terrifying in that moment.

His clothes were soaked in blood, his eyes bloodshot, and his face and mouth smeared with blood from gnawing on the snowmen.

His fierce shout made the influencer tremble as she crouched on the ground.

“T-This is too scary. I don’t want to see anymore. Let me out!”

“Don’t bully me! Let go, I want to leave!”

“What right do you have to bully a young girl like me?”

She refused to respond to Lin Fan directly, nor did she apologize for her earlier behavior. Instead, she struggled desperately to break free from his grasp.

Meanwhile, the chat’s tone began to shift.

“Oh my god, is this really hell on earth?”

“So terrifying... even a horror movie couldn’t portray this... those are the bodies of our own people...”

“For a moment, just looking at it took my breath away.”

“Streamer, apologize. You went too far.”

“Exactly! What kind of national treasure is this? I want to gnaw on them myself! Those beasts!”

Still, some messages defended the streamer.

“She didn’t know before. Besides, how can the Godslayers frighten a little girl like that? She only said a few wrong things.”

“Yeah, the Godslayers went too far!”

“I used to think Lin Fan was alright, but now I see he’s just bullying a little girl. Incredible!”
