My Mysterious Left Hand

"Yo—"

The giant bird screamed and frantically flapped its wings, trying to take off.

However, the flames quickly burned off its feathers, causing it to crash into the tall grass.

The flames were so powerful that they ignited the surrounding weeds, dry branches, and decaying leaves.

Seeing that a forest fire was about to break out, Li Chen quickly made a grasping motion in the air, and all the flames instantly rolled back and covered the giant bird.

The giant bird screamed and rolled wildly, trying to extinguish the flames on its body.

However, it was all in vain, because this was no ordinary flame, but a special innate flame enhanced by Li Chen's essence, energy, and spirit.

That's right, even from a distance, Li Chen could expend his energy and spirit to maintain the existence of those flames.

However, this battle was too sudden, and his extreme burst of power had taken a toll on his health, leaving him somewhat pale.

At that moment, a delicious aroma of meat wafted out, causing everyone in the nearby bushes to instinctively swallow hard, their eyes filled with longing as they watched the giant bird struggling on the ground.

Many of them had been working in the back mountain all night and hadn't even had dinner when they were directly transported to this world by the mist.

After fleeing for another whole night, they were already starving.

However, considering the strength Li Chen displayed, no one dared to snatch it.

At this moment, they finally realized that although Li Chen was a little dirty, he was completely different from their disheveled appearance.

In particular, Li Chen looked very energetic, which meant he must have slept last night.

This scene evoked mixed feelings in everyone in the bushes. Why are there such big differences between people who are all human?

Finally, after about half a minute, the giant bird stopped moving.

An even richer aroma of meat wafted out, causing several people nearby to unconsciously swallow hard.

Even Li Chen's appetite was whetted.

He quickly extinguished the flames, strode over, and with a swift stroke, chopped off the giant bird's wings, legs, and head, setting them aside.

"Thank you for reminding me before; these cooked foods are a token of my gratitude."

After saying that, he dragged the rest of the meat away in a long stride.

Anyway, he wasn't familiar with those people, only vaguely familiar with their faces, so there was no need for him to bring along a bunch of burdens.

It wasn't until Li Chen had walked far away that the few people hiding in the bushes finally came to their senses.

The next moment, the group burst out of the bushes and rushed toward the cooked food on the ground.

"Don't try to take it from me. I was the one who warned him before. It was for me..."

"You're talking nonsense! I already reminded him!"

"This is mine, and I reminded him..."

"Don't fight over it, everyone! He gave us so much, it's definitely enough for all of us..."

The group scrambled for the food until everyone had received it, and then they stopped.

Although these foods contain no salt, no one dares to complain about them now, because the feeling of being hungry is too unbearable.

"That person just now... looked like Li Chen?"

"It must be him. He's awakened superpowers too?"

"I also have superpowers, but why is there such a huge difference between us, even though we're both human?"

Everyone had mixed feelings as they ate their food and talked in hushed tones.

That's right, some of these people have awakened special talents.

However, because it has just awakened, its abilities are very weak, completely different from the combat power that Li Chen had previously demonstrated.

They spent almost the entire night on the run, without even getting any sleep; their situation was incredibly dire.

As a result, Li Chen not only looked energetic, but was also able to easily kill that giant bird, which was simply unbelievable.

……

Li Chen continued forward, constantly using his long sword to cut through the thorns and brambles to clear a path.

Finally, after walking more than 300 meters, he found a huge tree hole.

This is a good place to rest temporarily.

"Whoosh—"

The flames swept through, burning all the withered branches and decaying leaves inside the tree hole, and killing a large number of poisonous insects.

"Fire-based abilities are indeed very useful."

Once he was sure it was safe, Li Chen entered the tree hollow and suddenly swung his knife.

"Pfft..."

Wood chips flew everywhere, and a small platform was created.

He placed the giant bird's meat on the platform, cut it open with a knife, and cut off the best piece to taste.

Because there was no salt, it tasted bland and perhaps even had a fishy smell because it wasn't bled.

This piece of meat doesn't seem to be fully cooked.

Li Chen put the long knife aside, then flames erupted from both hands simultaneously as he continued to roast the bird meat in his hands.

Because of his [Fire Affinity] attribute, he has a very strong control over his flames, so he didn't burn the piece of meat in his hand.

In just a few seconds, the meat was completely cooked.

He didn't eat it directly, but instead used his left hand to feel around on the bird meat on the platform.

[Plump and Delicious Attribute +1]

"Plump and juicy?"

Li Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, but did not stop there.

[The aroma of bird meat +1]

Another new attribute has been discovered.

"This is it."

Li Chen was overjoyed and tried to infuse the [fragrant attribute of bird meat] into the piece of meat in his hand.

However, he did not stop and continued to explore.

[The aroma of bird meat +1]

[Aura of everyday life +1]

[Aura of everyday life +1]

[Bone density attribute +1]

For attributes like [Firework Atmosphere] that he doesn't need right now, Li Chen simply dismantles them to save space.

When another [sense of everyday life] attribute was decomposed into its source, the amount of source in the palm space suddenly seemed to have increased to a certain critical point.

The next moment, these primal forces merged into the palm space, and the entire palm space suddenly began to expand.

During this process, Li Chen discovered that the flesh and bones of his left hand, which served as the carrier of the palm space, were also becoming stronger.

"So this is where the true power of the essence obtained from decomposing the attribute light orbs lies."

A look of joy flashed in Li Chen's eyes.

About ten seconds later, the upgrade of the palm space ended, and all the previously accumulated essence was exhausted.

At this point, the space in the palm of your hand had reached the size of a basketball.

As the container of the palm space, the strength of the left hand is clearly stronger than that of the right hand.

According to his senses, the space in his palm could now hold a hundred attribute light orbs at once.

"Good, now we won't need to dismantle attributes so frequently. It's best to keep attributes that, while not currently needed, should be very useful."

Li Chen immediately continued to explore the bird meat on the platform.

[Qi and Blood +1]

[Qi and Blood +1]

[Aura of everyday life +1]

[Bone density attribute +1]

[Nutritional benefits of bird meat +1]

In the blink of an eye, the bird meat on the platform collapsed and turned into dust.

Li Chen was already used to this. He once again infused the piece of bird meat with several of the [fragrant bird meat attribute].

Next, he also incorporated the nutritional properties of bird meat.

He only stopped when he was full of the bird meat and tried a bite.

The next moment, an amazing fragrance exploded in his mouth, causing him to instinctively open his eyes wide.

"How can meat without salt taste so good?"

Li Chen looked shocked, then devoured the bird meat in a few big bites.

Perhaps due to the nutritional properties of bird meat, this piece of bird meat, though small, contained a tremendous amount of energy, and he almost ate his fill.

"Now we don't have to worry about running out of salt."

Li Chen beamed with joy.

However, after filling his stomach, a new problem arose—he was thirsty.

"Then go get some water."

He picked up his knife, stepped out of the tree hollow, and used it to clear a path, heading straight for the pool below the waterfall.

After traveling only thirty meters, a creature resembling a vine and as thick as a thigh suddenly shot out from the grass within their sensing range.

Li Chen's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly turned around and slashed with his knife.

"Pfft!"

A huge snake head flew out, and the remaining headless snake corpse struggled wildly, smashing through a large amount of wild grass.

"What a huge snake! And judging by its color, it must be a venomous snake, not a python!"

Li Chen was secretly surprised. Luckily, he had spatial abilities, otherwise he would most likely have been caught off guard and suffered a setback.

He waited patiently for a while until the headless snake corpse stopped struggling violently, then walked over and frantically touched it with his left hand.

[Qi and Blood +1]

[Qi and Blood +1]

[The plumpness and richness attribute of flesh and blood +1]

[Fragrance of Flesh and Blood attribute +1]

……

[Nutritional attributes of flesh and blood +1]

[Hide toughness attribute +1]

[Hide toughness attribute +1]

As each attribute was discovered, cracks appeared on the snake corpse before them until it finally turned to ashes.

Even the snake head that had flown away earlier was not spared by Li Chen. He touched it until it turned to ashes before continuing on his way.

During his journey, he integrated his Qi and blood attributes into his body.

As for the [leather toughness attribute] he acquired this time, he incorporated it into his clothes to prevent them from being torn by thorns.

The snake ultimately provided him with about 20 kilograms of strength, which was quite a gain.

Finally, half an hour later, he successfully carved out a path leading to the pool below the waterfall.
