Hands Mutation

The memory dissipated, but the feeling of anger still filled Zhen Jin's chest.

Zhen Jin felt like he was about to explode from this emotion!

"Ahhhhh!" He let out a terrifying roar.

"I can't die."

"How can I fall here?!"

"I still have to protect my fiancee, I have to leave here alive, then take control of White Sand City, and finally revitalize my Hundred Needles Family!"

"My Knight's Path... how can my Knight's Path be stranded here?"

The young man roared in his heart.

At this moment, the blood all over his body seemed to be boiling.

The blood flowed rapidly, like a rushing river, then turned into a waterfall, pouring into the young man's hands.

The mutation happened at this moment!

The young man's hands swelled rapidly, becoming thick and large. His ten fingers continuously elongated, and his fingernails turned black, transforming into sharp claws as hard as iron.

The claws were incredibly sharp, like ten daggers!

Zhen Jin tried to slash with his claws, and with just a little force, the spider web was easily torn apart!

The sharp claws, at this moment, turned bright red and hot, as if they had been burning for a long time like a branding iron.

Zhen Jin didn't think at all, completely relying on instinct, and plunged his clawed hands towards the spider leader.

The Eight-Legged Spider leader was already very close to Zhen Jin, with only a hand's distance between their faces. When Zhen Jin's hands mutated, they were also covered by spider silk.

When Zhen Jin's pair of claws stabbed out, the Eight-Legged Spider leader was completely caught off guard and found it difficult to dodge.

Pfft!

The twelve-inch long, bright red claws deeply pierced into the spider leader's body.

Zhen Jin burst out a shout, continued to exert force, and almost his entire palm was submerged in the wound.

The spider leader, attacked, seemed to be struck by lightning, its body stiff as stone.

After the time it takes for one breath, a large amount of spider blood and milky white brain matter flowed out from the wound.

This Silver-level Eight-Legged Spider leader died on the spot!

With the leader dead, the remaining Eight-Legged Spiders quickly fled.

The young man and the young woman were immediately out of danger.

Zhen Jin looked dazed, slowly withdrawing his hands from the roasted body of the spider leader.

More accurately, his claws.

Unbelievable!

His hands had completely become similar to those of a giant ape, the entire hand shape had expanded several times, and had grown a lot of thick black hair, making his forearms appear very small.

The front ends of his ten fingers extended into long, sharp, hard claws that radiated high temperatures, like iron bars just pulled from a furnace.

"What, what is going on?!"

Just as Zhen Jin was utterly shocked, the mutation happened again.

First, the glowing red iron claws rapidly cooled, then turned into carbon ash, quickly collapsing and scattering.

Following that, his hands also quickly shrank, returning to their original human hand form.

The black bear fur also completely fell off, revealing the fair skin of a human.

Zhen Jin's body suddenly swayed violently.

Weakness, an indescribable sense of weakness, reached the depths of his heart.

This was not just physical exhaustion, nor was it just mental fatigue; it felt as if a part of his body's foundation had been suddenly emptied.

The surrounding flames were still burning, and the bushes crackled.

Without the support of its claws, the Eight-Legged Spider could only lie dead on the ground.

Everything felt like a dream.

"My lord, Lord Zhen Jin!" Zi Di's calls sounded like they were coming from a great distance, becoming clearer and louder.

Prompted by this voice, Zhen Jin finally reacted.

"Hiss..." The young man immediately gasped, two of the Eight-Legged Spider's tentacles still embedded in his back.

Clenching his teeth, he pulled out the tentacles, which immediately drew blood.

After taking out a potion and haphazardly sprinkling it on the wound, Zhen Jin immediately rushed to Zi Di's side.

He didn't have a dagger, but the spider's tentacles were even sharper.

Using the tentacles, Zhen Jin cut through the spider web and rescued Zi Di.

"My lord, have you awakened your Battle Qi?!" Zi Di asked, overjoyed.

Zhen Jin's heart stirred: Just now, Zi Di was lying on the ground, and I had my back to her. She didn't see the mutation of my hands.

"No. I used the spear tip to pierce through the spider web." Zhen Jin didn't think too much and subconsciously concealed the secret.

The mutation just now was extremely abnormal, and it seemed that in the young man's subconscious, he also didn't want to say it out loud and make his fiancee worry about it.

"That hateful Huang Zao ran away! We must find him and teach him a harsh lesson!" Zi Di said fiercely.

If Huang Zao hadn't fled the battle, the young man and woman would never have fallen into such a dangerous situation.

Zhen Jin nodded and was about to speak when there was a loud crash. It turned out that a large tree, engulfed in flames, had fallen to the ground.

Sparks flew, and the fire spread a little further.

"Let's leave here quickly." Zi Di wanted to bandage Zhen Jin, but he stopped her.

Although the wound was deep, the bleeding had stopped.

With his current vitality, escaping the fire was the most urgent matter.

"Wait, this is good stuff, we absolutely can't lose it." Zi Di pointed at the corpse of the Eight-Legged Spider leader, the light in her eyes even hotter than the firelight.

So, the young man and woman worked together to drag the Eight-Legged Spider and quickly retreated from the fire.

Just as they retreated to a safe distance, the two heard a dull buzzing sound.

Following that, countless swarms of Fire Poison Bees flew into the sea of fire, their scale so vast it practically blotted out the sky.

The number of Fire Poison Bees was too great. The fire, which had spread for several miles, was quickly contained and then slowly extinguished.

Zhen Jin and Zi Di had suffered greatly from the Fire Poison. Seeing this scene, how could they dare to stay nearby? They ran for several more miles through the mountains before stopping to rest.

Fortunately, they found an ideal resting place at the bottom of a cliff.

For the next three days, Zhen Jin and Zi Di rested here.

Using the remaining body fluids of the Eight-Legged Spider, Zi Di concocted an Aura Potion, which disguised their presence with the aura of a Silver-level magical beast, greatly increasing the safety of their resting place.

Zhen Jin's miraculous life foundation once again showed itself. The penetrating wound on his back healed at an astonishing speed. Coupled with Zi Di's potions, the wound was already covered with new, tender flesh.

Zhen Jin had been worried that the Eight-Legged Spider's legs carried corrosive poison, but it turned out they didn't.

Zi Di took advantage of this time to dissect the Eight-Legged Spider. Although the conditions were extremely rudimentary, she still did her best to collect the usable parts.

Using these materials, she concocted several bottles of Corrosion Potion and Strong Adhesion Potion.

These were very basic potions, but because the materials used were relatively high-grade, their effectiveness was worth looking forward to.

Zi Di was very regretful about this, and every now and then over the three days, she would complain, "If the conditions were just a little better, I could have definitely concocted Agility Potions. It's such a shame, these materials can only be used for minor things, just making these little trinkets."

Zhen Jin smiled and comforted her, acknowledging the value of these "little trinkets" she mentioned.

The Combustion Potion and Flame Retardant Potion that Zi Di had previously concocted using the Monkey-Tailed Brown Bear and the cave minerals had played a huge role.
