True Shoe Pinching

015

The terrain within this small Valley was complex.

It was now mid-March.

Withered grass, trees, and new vegetation formed a natural barrier.

After the seven people on the other side entered this Valley, they slowed down.

They cautiously kept watch over their surroundings.

This was already the true Wilderness Area.

And in a Valley with such complex terrain, Mutated Beasts could appear at any time.

Jiang Fu lay prone behind a piece of cover.

Using his Spirit Power, he carefully observed every move the seven Martial Artists made.

At this moment.

The seven had already restrained their blood and vitality, their bodies almost blending into the surrounding environment.

Even the sounds they made as they moved had been reduced to a minimum.

If Jiang Fu had not been a Psychic Master.

Using his Spirit Power to lock onto their figures.

He would have been completely unable to discover them with his naked eyes alone.

"These seven have far more wilderness survival experience than I do!"

Jiang Fu clenched his teeth.

Though he already had a plan in mind, he did not act rashly.

Just now, when Scarface had been moving at high speed.

Even when Jiang Fu attacked in what was practically a sneak attack, he had failed to injure even a single hair on the man.

And now.

The seven had already entered a state of alert.

Jiang Fu's nine tiny Fruit Knives would be even less capable of harming them.

"Fortunately, I'm a Psychic Master. In this terrain, I hold an absolute advantage."

Jiang Fu grew increasingly calm.

In his mind.

He recalled the scene of his first Fruit Knife exploding into fragments when it struck the opponent's throat.

Jiang Fu looked at the Battle Knife in the other party's hand.

He tried touching it with his Spirit Power.

Only to discover in surprise.

That the Battle Knife contained blood and vitality identical to that of its wielder.

It repelled Jiang Fu's Spirit Power.

"Can't take it. I can't take it at all!"

"No wonder Supervisor Shen couldn't be bothered to recruit me... Psychic Masters really aren't as powerful as I imagined!"

The martial arts masters from television dramas in his previous life.

Could kill people with flying flowers and plucked leaves.

But here he was, using knives.

And he could not even cut through the rag around their necks!

At that thought.

Jiang Fu became increasingly cautious deep down.

"I absolutely can't let them find me... Otherwise, these seven bastards will definitely twist off my Limbs before twisting off my neck..."

Jiang Fu lay behind a small dirt pit.

Not daring to move at all.

And at that moment.

Zhao Dapeng lowered his head and glanced at his left leg.

Then spoke quietly with the other six.

"With that brat's speed, this is as far as he could have run in this time!"

"Within fifty li, this Valley is the only place someone could hide."

"That brat must be hiding here!"

"Split up and search first... If we really can't find him, burn this Valley down!"

"Force him out!"

The Valley was not large.

Its terrain was complex, and its vegetation was lush.

There were also quite a few caves left behind by Mutated Beasts.

If someone hid inside them, they truly would not be easy to find.

The seven exchanged glances.

Then slowly spread out.

And headed deeper into the Valley.

Hearing their conversation.

Jiang Fu's heart tightened.

"No, I can't just sit here and wait to die. I need to take the initiative..."

"Hm?"

Suddenly.

Jiang Fu noticed a detail.

Scarface would lower his head from time to time to look at his left leg.

"His left leg..."

"Left leg!"

"Right, multiplying his left leg by ten must have left him traumatized."

Jiang Fu's eyes lit up.

A trace of ill intent instantly flashed through his gaze.

"Left leg quantity, Multiply by Ten!"

This time, there was no duration.

A permanent Multiply by Ten!

The moment the words fell.

Jiang Fu watched helplessly.

As the Spirit Power value on the attribute panel before him was directly deducted by ten points.

It fell from 999 to 989.

"Permanent Multiply by Ten and temporary Multiply by Ten consume different amounts of Spirit Power."

"Multiplying by ten for 0.1 seconds costs one point of Spirit Power."

"Permanent Multiply by Ten costs ten points of Spirit Power."

"At the moment of multiplication, I didn't feel any resistance or obstruction."

"No, something feels strange. Something isn't right."

"Continue the experiment."

This was Jiang Fu's preliminary conclusion.

The next instant.

"What's happening?!"

"My leg, my leg!!!"

"Why are there more again?!"

Just as Zhao Dapeng looked at his left leg for the eleventh time.

He suddenly let out a terrified, shrill scream.

Then collapsed to the ground.

Staring at his left leg with terror-filled eyes.

Zhao Dapeng's left leg had once again become ten legs!

Including the pant legs and the shoes on his feet.

"What's going on?!"

Bald Head and the other six heard Zhao Dapeng's scream.

Their hearts jolted.

They hurried toward Zhao Dapeng.

Jiang Fu's Spirit Power locked onto one of the Tall Thin Men.

"Left toe quantity, Multiply by Ten! Duration: one second!"

As the words fell.

Jiang Fu lost another point of Spirit Power.

It dropped from 989 to 988.

And the Tall Thin Man, who had been sprinting at high speed.

Staggered.

And fell straight to the ground.

An unnatural purplish-red color appeared on his face.

He also let out a shrill scream.

"Ah!"

"My foot..."

Pop!

Pop!

Pop!

The instant the Tall Thin Man opened his mouth.

Nine Fruit Knives suddenly shot up from the ground before him!

The nine throwing knives were almost joined as one.

At an unimaginable speed.

Under the man's terrified and despairing gaze.

They stabbed into his mouth.

Then burst out through the back of his head.

The Tall Thin Man's eyes widened round.

His mouth opened and closed weakly a few times.

Then he fell to the ground, completely lifeless.

"It really works!"

Jiang Fu's eyes lit up.

Toe quantity multiplied by ten!

From five toes to fifty!

Yet the size of the Combat Boots on his feet had not changed!

Those were Combat Boots made from special materials!

In an instant.

The multiplied toes were crushed by the Combat Boots in an instant.

That immense pain.

Was more than even a Martial Artist could endure.

"He killed someone..."

Looking at the fallen Martial Artist.

Jiang Fu merely frowned, but did not feel much.

After all, he had two memories of death in his mind.

He had already died twice himself.

Killing someone, especially someone who wanted to kill him.

Did not seem to make him feel much discomfort.

The next instant.

Jiang Fu's Spirit Power.

Touched the Battle Knife that had fallen to the ground.

As the Martial Artist died, the blood and vitality on the Battle Knife dissipated as well.

It no longer repelled Jiang Fu's Spirit Power.

The Battle Knife instantly vanished from where it lay.

"...Let's experiment again."

"Left leg quantity, Multiply by Ten, duration: one second!"

As soon as the words fell.

The dead Martial Artist's left leg instantly became ten.

Yet Jiang Fu's Spirit Power was not depleted in the slightest.

At that moment.

Several other Martial Artists heard the commotion over here.

They hurried over to investigate.

At a glance, they saw the corpse's left leg had become ten.
