Chapter 928: The Art of Scars

After listening to Meng Chao’s words, Leaf focused his attention and observed the other for a long time.

As expected, he found something.

“The right half of his body has more scars than his left half, especially on his shoulder. There are so many scars that there isn’t even half a piece of good flesh!”

“So, his right shoulder is his weakness!” the youth said excitedly.

“Your observation skills are not bad. You have some potential, but you lack some experience.”

Meng Chao said, “If you have personally dissected thousands of corpses and identified more than 10,000 wounds, it would be easy to notice that almost all the wounds on the right side of this guy’s body are superficial. They are all superficial wounds. At most, only his flesh and blood are affected rather than his bones, much less his nerves and tendons.

“The muscles on his right shoulder, especially, are obviously more developed than those on his left shoulder. Including the average diameter of his right arm, everything is half a finger larger than his left arm. This means his dominant hand must be his right hand. He doesn’t care about minor injuries at all.”

Leaf was stunned for a moment, and he looked a little unconvinced.

“I know. You must want to ask, if that’s the case, how did the right half of his body suffer so many injuries?”

Meng Chao replied, “Because he is an experienced and well-trained warrior.

“Any experienced warrior knows that it is almost impossible to be unharmed in an intense battle. However, we can choose which part of the body will suffer the damage. We can even drag the enemy into our trap and rhythm by paying the price of superficial wounds.

“The right half of this guy’s body is so strong, but it is full of tiny wounds. It is very obvious that in actual combat, he often deliberately exposes his right half to lure the enemy. Every tiny wound might mean the life of a prey or an enemy.”

Leaf was very smart, to begin with.

His thoughts flashed, and he instantly understood. He could not help but inhale a breath of cold air.

Fortunately, he had received the Reaper’s warning.

Otherwise, he would have taken the initiative to attack his opponent’s right side. He would not even realized how he died.

“Look at the left half of his body. It appears to be smooth. There are not too many wounds, but if you look more carefully, you can see that when he raises his left arm unintentionally, there is an extremely deep wound under his left armpit,” Meng Chao continued.

Leaf was somewhat dumbfounded again. He said, “Lord Reaper, do you have the ability of clairvoyance that allows you to see through the depth of an opponent’s wound?”

“Of course I don’t have clairvoyance.”

In actuality, one in the five-star Spirit Gaze Realm, could observe a lot of invisible light and see through some objects.

However, Meng Chao had yet to recover from his serious injury. His ability in this aspect was not very effective, and it consumed a lot of spirit energy. Therefore, he had temporarily turned it off.

“As long as you observe the surface of the wound, you will find that the wound has been well-healed. The two sides of the wound are well-aligned, and the proliferation of the tissues is relatively small and shallow. It means that the enemy must have treated and taken care of the wound below his left armpit well.”

Meng Chao added, “If I remember correctly, the Turan people regard wounds as their honor. They usually do not care how their wounds heal. They are even eager to leave a more conspicuous and terrifying scar to show off their battle achievements.

“Unless, the wounds are extremely deep and close to their vital points, which are life-threatening, they will be carefully treated.”

Leaf was enlightened.

“I didn’t expect a small wound to have so much information!” He looked at Meng Chao with admiration.

“That’s not all. Think about it, what kind of posture would expose your left armpit?” Meng Chao guided him patiently.

Leaf widened his eyes and thought for a long time. Then, he asked in confusion, “Yes, what kind of posture would cause your left armpit to be injured?”

“Left-handed knife.”

Time was tight. Meng Chao calculated from the intervals between the two food drops in the past few days that the next food drop would take place between seven to eleven minutes.

Within five minutes, he had to let Leaf defeat this burly red-eyed rodent.

He did not have the time to let the youth figure it out on his own. Meng Chao gave the correct answer. “The left armpit is close to the heart. Under normal circumstances, the rodent, who lacks combat experience, should pay attention to defense.

“Since this fellow can injure the left armpit, it means that he must have raised his left arm high and hacked down viciously, resulting in an opening.

“Here’s the problem. His right arm is obviously thicker and sturdier than his left arm. It should be his right hand. Why did he use his left hand?

“I can only speculate that he actually has a ‘killer move’ that he must use his left arm to use.”.

“What’s a ‘killer move?’”

“That’s not important. In short, it’s a very powerful killer move. However, this move should take a long time to accumulate power before the enemy finds a flaw and attacks his left armpit.”.

“If you can really force him to use his killer move, no matter how powerful and terrifying it seems to be, don’t be afraid if it can split you in half from the middle. Remember, this is your chance. As long as you’re fast enough, you can ruthlessly stab a new wound on his left armpit!”

Leaf opened her mouth.

She wanted to know, “Then how can I force him to use his fatal move?”

“It’s very simple. Look at his liver area. Is there a small protrusion?”

Meng Chao said, “That is the sign that his ribs were broken, and the sharp broken bones almost pierced into his liver. If the liver was really broken, he would be finished.

“Although the broken bones did not pierce into his liver and had already healed, the area above the liver is where the pain nerves of the Turan people are the most concentrated. Even a tough man with iron bones would be in so much pain that he would break out in cold sweat, let alone stab and cut the broken bones.

“My guess is that the experience of the broken ribs stabbing into the liver must have left this guy with a painful memory, so much so that ‘once bitten by a snake, twice Shy’. Until now, he has been very careful to protect his liver area. These few days, when he was fighting for food, he did not care about other people attacking his other parts at all. Only when others attacked his liver area, he would dodge and block.

“I reckon that even if his liver region doesn’t have any physical sequelae, there must still be some spiritual pain. As long as you can hit his liver region, you can trigger his painful memories, causing him to subconsciously Twitch and fall into chaos.

“Naturally, he knows where his vital point is, so he won’t be easily hit by an ordinary person’s liver region.

“But you have limbs that can stretch and retract freely, and you can hit the enemy from an unbelievable angle. I think that shouldn’t be a problem.

“Or rather, if you can’t even defeat such an enemy, then forget about the broken-horned Minotaur warrior with totem power or something like that, just wash up and sleep!”

The words “broken-horned Minotaur warrior” made the young man’s eyes turn red like the others.

Amidst the deep red, something was jumping crazily.

It was the raging flames that burned down their home that night.

“Clang clang clang!”

The sound of a metal rod hitting the iron fence came from the top of their heads again

The aroma of the fried mandrake fruit was like a devil’s palm. It grabbed the necks of every red-eyed rat person and lifted them up.

“This is for you.”

Meng Chao stuffed something into Leaf’s hand.

It was a sharp fang.

For the sake of a slim chance of survival, countless rounds of life-and-death battles had taken place in this dungeon.

It was very normal for teeth to be knocked out during a battle.

The blood of rodents still flowed in some of the rat people’s bodies, and their front teeth were extremely long.

Some of the rat people had the characteristics of reptiles or cats, and they had fangs and sharp claws.

With a bit of polishing, these fangs would fall into the hands of professionals, enough to…

Kill through the entire Blood Skull Arena.

According to Meng Chao’s instructions, Leaf placed the fangs between his index and middle fingers.

When she clenched her fists, the fangs would naturally stick out. All she had to do was wave them out like a fist.

For civilians who had not received professional dagger combat training, this was the most convenient position to hold.

Then, Meng Chao let Leaf swallow a mouthful of dirty water in his mouth.

“If necessary, spray it out and disrupt the opponent’s line of sight,” Meng Chao said.

At this moment, dozens of fried mandrake fruits had already landed.

The cruel competition had begun!

After Meng Chao’s modulation.

Leaf’s gaze became even sharper.

She clearly saw a lot of information that she had been ignorant of just now.

As expected, the burly number one mouse citizen had received the blessing of ‘the strong will always be strong’. At the first moment, he leaped up high and swung his hammer-like elbows and knees in the air, smashing the four or five red-eyed mouse citizens who had leaped up beside him into the air.

Then, with his powerful core ability and his gorilla-like arms, he snatched four fruits in one go!

He was not satisfied. After landing, he opened his bloody mouth and stuffed the two mandrake fruits into his mouth.

His mouth was so big!

His cheeks were as elastic as the leaves, and they could be extended to an exaggerated extent. The skin on his cheeks was half-transparent because of the mandrake fruits. At first glance, he seemed to have grown two more heads on his left and right cheeks.

The other two mandrake fruits were simply tied up by the slender tail that he had plucked from some unlucky person. It went around his neck and hung on his chest.

After that, the greedy brawny man grinned and joined the second round of the competition.

It seemed that he would not stop until he had snatched more than ten mandrake fruits in one go.

The four red-eyed rat people, who were ranked from second to fifth in size, looked at the number one brawny man with anger in their eyes.

It seemed like the reaper was right. These guys weren’t one piece of iron.

They were each other’s biggest competitors.

Although no one was willing to go head-on against the number one brawny man because of his tyrannical power, they would rather pick on a soft persimmon.

However, if Leaf could really take this guy down, the other red-eyed rat people would definitely not mind stepping on his body with 10,000 feet.

As for the wounds on his left armpit and liver region, Leaf could also see them clearly.

Including the effects of these wounds, the fighting habits of the No. 1 brawny rat man.

Everything was just as the Reaper had analyzed…

Just like how this brawny and fierce red-eyed rat man was just a puppet in the Reaper’s hands.

After realizing all of this…

The youth was no longer confused and no longer afraid.

It was different from the day he was trampled under iron hooves and could only watch as his home was destroyed.

The current him, even if he hadn’t become stronger.

At least he had already understood the method to become stronger.

Leaf took a deep breath, still hiding most of his body in the sewage, and sneaked toward the No. 1 brawny rat man.
