My Mysterious Left Hand

At the same time, Li Chen, who was falling rapidly, used his sense of control over the surrounding space to quickly adjust his center of gravity and stabilize his body, and kicked the rocks one after another to dissipate the force.

Just as he descended to a position of more than 30 meters, a very narrow cave appeared in his senses.

He was overjoyed and quickly grabbed a vine.

"Boom..."

The vine snapped under the immense impact of the fall.

However, this also reduced most of the impact force of the fall.

"Boom boom boom..."

Li Chen grabbed a few more weeds and finally dissipated all the impact just before he was about to pass the cave. He twisted his waist and used the force to throw himself to the cave entrance.

This cave is really small, at least the entrance is very small, less than a meter wide, at most enough for a person to squeeze in with their head in front and feet behind.

But through spatial perception, he knew that it was very large inside, and that it would become very spacious after going in about two meters.

Without any hesitation, he endured the excruciating pain in his arms, first placing the long knife inside, and then crawling into the narrow cave.

During this process, he suddenly felt a warm current coming from the palm of his left hand.

Wherever this warm current passed, the hands that had been scratched by grabbing vines and weeds recovered instantly, the wounds healed, and the excruciating pain disappeared.

Not only that, even his left arm, which was injured by Yang Cheng, is recovering rapidly.

"This is……"

Li Chen was shocked: 'The essence obtained by decomposing the attribute light orb? This essence actually has the effect of rapidly healing injuries?'

This effect... is a bit too powerful, isn't it?

He was both surprised and delighted.

After the warm current healed the injury in his left arm, it did not stop, but quickly spread to all parts of his body.

Wherever he went, the injury to his right arm healed one after another, the excruciating pain disappeared, and even the fatigue seemed to have decreased a lot.

"This recovery speed is practically cheat code!"

Li Chen felt this was a truly unexpected surprise; he wouldn't have to worry about getting hurt when encountering enemies again.

"Black Sheep Village?"

His eyes quickly turned cold.

Since the other party is going to be his enemy for Chen Zhangming's sake, they should be prepared to be retaliated against!

That Yang Cheng was extremely powerful. With just one strike, he didn't even have to use his strength to block. Instead, he used the force of the impact to fly backward, but he was still injured in both arms.

He strongly suspected that if he hadn't repeatedly integrated the dense bone material attribute beforehand, his arms would have been broken by that attack.

……

"Yang Jue, take nine men down there. You must find and kill that Li Chen!"

Above the cliff, Yang Cheng coldly gave the order.

"Yes, Captain!"

The young man named Yang Jue immediately left the Black Goat and led nine people down the cliff.

Not far behind, Chen Zhangming looked uneasy.

Because of his actions, someone died in Black Sheep Village. He wondered if these people would hold a grudge against him.

What unsettled him most was that Li Chen had actually escaped.

At this moment, Yang Cheng perhaps noticed Chen Zhangming's worry and came over to comfort him, saying, "You don't need to worry too much. That Li Chen is going to die. He took that blow from me, and both of his arms must be broken. He also fell from such a height. Even if he doesn't die, he will be crippled. With Yang Jue leading people to search for him, he can't escape."

We've already missed out on a special talent with considerable potential; we can't afford to lose Chen Zhangming.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhangming breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Is the bottom of the cliff very deep?"

"Of course, this cliff has a drop of more than 100 meters, and our Black Sheep Village is very familiar with this area."

Yang Cheng nodded: "Besides, even if Li Chen survives by sheer luck, he won't be able to grow stronger unless he obtains a cultivation technique."

"Does becoming stronger necessarily require cultivating techniques?" Chen Zhangming asked curiously.

"That's natural. Simply consuming rare and precious herbs is not enough to break through the shackles of mortals."

Yang Cheng answered affirmatively: "Ordinary rare and precious herbs are fine, they can slightly enhance physical fitness, but if he obtains a rare and precious herb of astonishing value and consumes it without authorization, it will only cause his body to explode."

"The shackles of mortals?" Chen Zhangming keenly grasped this key phrase.

"That's right. There are nine realms for mortals, each with its own limitations. Simply relying on rare and precious materials is not enough to break through them; one must rely on cultivation techniques. This is a limitation of the human race."

Yang Cheng changed the subject: "You'll know all this later. More than that, I'm curious about where you all come from. As far as I know, it's rare to see people with such delicate skin like you in the Great Wilderness."

……

The entrance to the cave was extremely narrow; if Li Chen hadn't been so well-proportioned, even somewhat thin, he probably wouldn't have been able to squeeze in.

It took him nearly three minutes to finally cross the mere two-meter distance.

Through the narrow opening, the interior appeared much more spacious.

Although it was pitch black, Li Chen was still able to roughly determine the size of the cave by sensing the environment.

The cave is nearly two meters long, wide, and high. Inside, there is a lot of withered grass and feathers, mixed with the stench of bird droppings.

He guessed that this place must have been a nest of some kind of bird, but it was now abandoned.

"Rest here for the night, we'll go out tomorrow."

Li Chen sat down against the cave wall and integrated the several blood and qi attributes he had just acquired into his body.

The addition of several Qi and Blood attributes only increased his strength by a few kilograms. His main gain this time was the long sword in his hand.

This knife is somewhat similar to a demon head knife, measuring 1.5 meters in length. It is very heavy and sharp, and was probably specially made for hunting large beasts.

With such a knife, one's combat power will definitely be greatly enhanced.

"By the way, the dense steel attribute I obtained earlier might be able to be incorporated into this sword."

He tried to incorporate the dense properties of steel into it.

Without any resistance, the steel blade in his hand absorbed this attribute directly.

Unfortunately, since only one attribute is incorporated, it's impossible to tell whether the knife has changed.

Suddenly, the sound of falling gravel came from outside, mixed with the sound of human voices.

Li Chen's expression changed slightly: "Those guys caught up with us?"

Those guys were able to find me so accurately before, they probably had some kind of tracking ability.

A thought struck him, and he quickly went to the end of the cave, stretching out his left hand and groping along the cave wall.

[Durability +1]

[Durability +1]

[Durability +1]

As each of the solid properties was discovered, the mountain wall in front of them immediately cracked open and gradually turned into dust.

Once his palm was full, he stopped and began to integrate the sturdiness attributes into the longsword in his hand.

As each of the solidity attributes was incorporated, he could feel the weight of the longsword increasing. Clearly, this attribute was not illusory; it could change the 'quantity' of matter.

After he used up all the attributes in his palm space, he continued to search the mountain wall, and once he had collected enough attributes, he integrated them back into the longsword.

However, after he had infused more than thirty sturdiness attributes into the longsword in one go, he could no longer infuse it with any more.

"There's a limit? Or does it require other attributes to balance it out? After all, too much rigidity leads to breakage..."

As Li Chen pondered, his hands did not stop moving at all, and he continued to explore the mountain wall.

"His presence is here..."

"There's a cave over here; he should be inside!"

"I knew it, there was no blood at the bottom of the cliff, so he was hiding here..."

Just then, voices came from outside.

Li Chen's heart sank. Once his palm was filled again, he hurriedly returned to the cave entrance and infused the solidity attribute into the stone at the cave entrance.

Even he had difficulty squeezing into this cave. The people from Black Sheep Village were all burly and strong, so if they wanted to squeeze in, the entrance would have to be widened.

If these stones are made strong enough, they should be able to hold them off for now.

But that's not enough; I need to find another way out.

With these thoughts in mind, Li Chen returned to the end of the cave and used his longsword to chop at the cave wall.

Perhaps because a large amount of the solidity attribute was stripped away, the boulders were cleaved off with almost no effort.

These boulders, once cleaved off the ground, shattered upon impact.

He didn't spend much effort to deepen the cave by more than two meters.

"There's hope!"

Li Chen was overjoyed.

"Clang..."

Then a loud bang was heard, and sparks flew everywhere.

Although the long sword cleaved through the boulder, it encountered tremendous resistance.

He then continued to extend his left hand to strip away the sturdiness attribute, and then continued to reinforce the rocks at the cave entrance with the sturdiness attribute.

Once his sturdiness was stripped away, he continued hacking and slashing with his knife.

As he continued in this manner, he moved further and further away from the cave entrance, while the rocks at the cave entrance became increasingly solid.

As expected, after the people from Black Sheep Village outside failed to crawl in directly, they began to try to widen the cave entrance.

But then came a series of sounds like hammering iron.

Those people were quite strong, but even with their full-force attacks, the rocks at the cave entrance remained completely still.

"How is this possible? How can this rock be so hard?"

Incredulous sounds came from outside.
