Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Hua passed a look at the Mountain Tribe's people and nodded.

Rushing to the opposite end, Nan Hua could see that Yu Jin's face was solemn. In this area, she was the one most familiar with the other three kingdoms' movement. If they tried any tricks, she would be the first to notice it.

Even though Nan Hua didn't know what Zhang Xu Kingdom was planning, she could guess that it was not good.

When she had clashed against that commander, she had noticed that he was really weak. Too weak to be able to lead this many soldiers. In fact, she had the feelings that the soldiers brought by him were all just cannon fodders.

10,000 cannon fodders.

That was truly a bold move.

But if that much sacrifice could earn them the Mountain Tribe, Nan Hua knew that Zhang Xu Kingdom felt that it was worth it.

Swish!

Crossing the trees at the highest speed possible, the two of them reached the other mountain that directly bordered Zhang Xu Kingdom. The smell of blood mixed with various other forest's smell assaulted their senses.

Yu Jin's eyes narrowed and turned cold.

She treated everyone who entered the Mountain Tribe as her people. Those who dared to touch her people would have to face her wrath.

"I don't like all three kingdoms."

Nan Hua turned to look at Yu Jin when she started to speak.

Yu Jin rarely talked about her problems with anyone because no one would be able to understand. The weight she bore on her shoulder as the Mountain Tribe Queen was far more than what ordinary people could ever imagine in their entire life.

Situated between the three kingdoms who were clashing against each other and longed to kill, she had to do everything just to protect her mountain.

"But I'll side with the one that benefit me the most." Yu Jin looked at the traces of battles and the bodies of her men. They were not even fast enough to send the signal to others to call for backup.

Did Zhang Xu Kingdom send their true elites?

Or their test lab?

Nan Hua looked at the traces of battle as her mind began to replay what happened here based on the leftover. It was something she had done countless times. Every strike and attack would give different result and marks.

By relying on those, one would be able to gain the vague picture of the battles that had occurred here.

Naturally, it was not completely accurate and not everyone could fully do it. Nan Hua only learned how to do it because she needed to gauge her opponent's strength before facing them. If she was far weaker than them, a frontal battle had to be completely avoided.

"They're heading to the middle mountain. Ye Jian is in danger."

Swish!

Seeing Yu Jin hurrying over, Nan Hua quickly followed the other party. She observed her surroundings and noticed some dead bodies of the soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdoms. Their body fell to the ground and their blood's color was somewhat darker.

Nan Hua's eyes narrowed.

"I'll follow you later."

Yu Jin waved her hand and continued to run forward.

Nan Hua approached the body and took out her needle as she took sample of the blood. Her sensitive nose quickly identified a few types of herbs that was mixed into the blood of this person.

For the blood to be this dark…

How much they had ingested it in their entire life?

"I always thought that the dolls case start from Fei Yang Kingdom and had tried to find that man's trace, but it turned out that they're actually from Zhang Xu Kingdom." Nan Hua looked at the person who died in front of her and her eyes turned cold.

The missing children's case from the upheaval at Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City.

Soon, they would appear outside and they would have to deal with it.

"The medicine is not perfect yet, which is why they died quickly." Nan Hua looked into the distance. But once they managed to find the perfect medicine, they would be able to control these so called powerful mindlessly loyal soldiers.

And the technique to create them…

Nan Hua looked at her needle.

She knew the method.

It was a forbidden technique that Traveling Doctor Liu mentioned that was capable of controlling human's mind. But the technique was imperfect and had been lost with time as it was used to control prisoners back then.

Unfortunately, the record must have been left behind in Zhang Xu Kingdom.

Someone dug them back and decided that they wanted to use this method alongside with their poison specialties and several other medical methods in Zhang Xu Kingdom.

From the very beginning, many strong medical practitioners came from Zhang Xu Kingdom.

Nan Hua knew that.

However, Traveling Doctor Liu only accepted a total of two disciples from Zhang Xu Kingdom because of their misappropriate use of the poisons to harm humans. Even if he did find a few more talented people, he didn't accept them after seeing their conduct.

He didn't want to teach medicine only to be used to create diseases.

So far, Nan Hua had only met with one of them: Chen Yuan.

The other one was her senior who didn't follow Traveling Doctor Liu. Probably if she ventured deep into Zhang Xu Kingdom in the future, she would be able to meet with the other party.

'It's still imperfect.'

The war between Fei Yang Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom wouldn't be easy at all. Should they begin to use this thing, the war would turn into their favor.

Nan Hua threw the needle away and then rushed over.

She would think about it in the future when it truly mattered to her. For the time being, Zhang Xu Kingdom wouldn't be able to use them properly and wouldn't dare to use it in a real large war.

As for that dolls' case…

When she reached the north, she would begin to send her men to investigate the situation. There might be a method to help those children if she could reach their locations earlier.
