My organs are too abstract.

In the void, pale white characters kept jumping around, revealing an undisguised excitement.

Surrounded by enemies, all alone, this is the heroic moment your left hand has always dreamed of.

[Trigger Objective: Defend this pass alone, without retreating a single step]

[Complete to unlock the exclusive status - One Man Against All]

Xu Yuan looked at the words that popped up in front of him, but he wasn't surprised at all; instead, he looked completely bewildered.

"Wait, when did you update the task system?"

The left hand remained silent, offering no response.

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment and felt that there might have been a mission system before.

"Perhaps the fact that my left hand forced me to train was part of the mission? And my continuous increase in strength is the reward for the mission, just not clearly stated?"

But that doesn't make sense!

"I can understand getting stronger through training, but gaining power by completing a simple task... what's the principle behind this? Does it mean that as long as you do what it wants and make it happy, that's enough?"

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, but had no clue, so he stopped thinking about it.

His gaze returned to the mission prompt in the void, and the corner of his mouth twitched violently.

"I understand the logic, but you insist on saying I'm 'surrounded by enemies and all alone'..." Xu Yuan sighed inwardly, "When did you go blind?"

He turned and glanced at Wenxiu, who looked bewildered, and couldn't help but ask the fundamental question: "Isn't Wenxiu human? Is she even human?"

A line of small text slowly appeared:

Your left hand is saying: I don't understand what you're saying at all.

[Faced with dire straits, fighting alone against the enemy, now is the time to establish merit, forge a legend!]

"What? We're in dire straits?" Xu Yuan's expression hardened, his gaze suddenly shifting to the rows of dark wooden carvings ahead. "Could these carvings be different from the previous ones, hiding some secret?"

With this thought in mind, he immediately abandoned his contempt and cautiously approached a wooden carving to observe it.

At first glance, it appears normal, but upon closer inspection, one can see that the smile on the corner of the wooden carving's mouth seems to have gained a touch of inexplicable mystery.

"We can't be careless. Let's probe their situation first!" Xu Yuan's expression turned serious.

He assumed a fighting stance, calmed his mind, and suddenly raised his foot, kicking with all his might at the chest of the wooden sculpture in front of him!

The wood carving immediately raised its thick arm to block in front of its chest, but the kick broke its arm and then went straight through its chest.

"That's it?" Xu Yuan, who had just been looking serious, suddenly looked astonished.

The next second—

Holy crap!

His expression changed drastically. He had exerted too much force just now, and his body suddenly lost its balance. He stumbled and almost did a split on the spot, falling to the ground.

He hopped on one foot several times to regain his balance, then looked at the "in dire straits" message in the void and was speechless.

"What happened to the supposed desperate situation?" He withdrew his foot, his face contorted with anguish. "So you were lying through your teeth, weren't you?"

Your left hand says: No need for further words, just do it!

—Today is the day heroes rise!

Xu Yuan: "..."

He finally understood that his left hand was only focused on dreaming of being a hero, pretending to be stupid all day long, and completely ignoring what others were saying.

Seeing Xu Yuan muttering to himself with a constantly changing expression, and even nearly doing a split on the spot just now, Wenxiu felt a pang of anxiety and quickly approached him, asking softly, "Are you alright?"

Xu Yuan took a deep breath and slowly shook his head: "It's nothing."

Wenxiu didn't ask any further questions. Her gaze fell on the wooden carvings that were slowly approaching. Her black hair moved without wind, and her expression was solemn: "Let's deal with these things first."

"No need." Xu Yuan immediately raised his hand to stop her, instantly realizing the mission rules. "Don't do anything, just leave everything to me."

"You're all alone?" Wenxiu asked, looking surprised. "But there are so many of them."

"fine."

Xu Yuan shook his head, and before he finished speaking, he had already shot off like an arrow.

He charged straight into the group of wooden sculptures, his movements swift and decisive. With a sharp, whistling sound, he swiftly kicked the frontmost sculpture in the chest.

With a muffled thud, the wooden sculpture flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground, unable to move any further.

Before the other wooden sculptures could surround him, Xu Yuan moved slightly, sidestepping the slow swing of the sculpture. He then swept his left leg across and kicked another wooden sculpture in the waist and abdomen, knocking it to the ground.

Facing the wooden sculptures attacking from both sides simultaneously, he made a casual yet powerful strike, slamming the sculptures into the wall beside him. Wood chips flew everywhere, and the sculptures were deeply embedded in the cracks in the wall, unable to move.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of wooden sculptures fell down one after another, either collapsing to the ground or embedded in the wall, leaving the scene in a mess.

But even after he had knocked down all the wooden carvings, the task notification for his left hand remained completely silent in the void.

"What do you mean? Everything's been resolved, but it's not considered complete?" Xu Yuan frowned slightly.

The left hand remained silent, offering no response.

Xu Yuan looked at the mission requirements again—to defend this pass alone and not retreat a single step.

"Could it be that my posture is wrong?" He pondered for a moment, then seemed to realize something. "The mission requires us to hold the pass, not to launch an attack?"

"If we have to strictly follow the requirements..." His gaze swept across the empty, narrow corridor, "This place is too spacious; it might not even qualify as a checkpoint. Wouldn't I have to build one myself?"

"I could easily chase them down and kill them all, why bother with this? It's like throwing the baby out with the bathwater!"

Xu Yuan secretly scoffed, but given the level of stupidity in his left hand, it wasn't entirely impossible.

"Whatever, let's give it a try."

The thought had barely formed in his mind when he immediately set to work, dragging together the scattered debris from both sides, intending to build a makeshift checkpoint.

But it would take some time for one person to do it alone, so he turned to Wenxiu and his eyes lit up: "Wenxiu, come and help me!"

Having witnessed Xu Yuan's terrifying combat prowess once again, Wen Xiu was already completely convinced of his abilities and asked softly, "What do you need me to do?"

"Help me move some odds and ends here to create a temporary checkpoint."

"it is good."

Although Wenxiu was full of doubts, she didn't ask any questions and nodded slightly. Her long, black hair danced without wind, the strands wrapping around the scattered debris like vines, and she moved and piled it up at lightning speed.

Her hair danced wildly, piling up layers of clutter to block both sides of the corridor, effectively isolating all possible routes and leaving only a narrow passageway for one person to pass through.

"Okay, thank you."

Seeing that everything was arranged properly, Xu Yuan nodded in satisfaction, turned back, and picked up the wooden carvings that had been overturned or stuck in the cracks in the wall.

He then quickly retreated to the back of the passageway, beckoned to the group of wooden carvings with his finger, and said in an unusually serious tone: "Line up, one at a time."

Wood carving: "?"
