FORGOTTEN LEGEND OF THE BLOODIED FLOWER

Nan Luo arranged some people to follow him and Nan Hua as they walked to the forest. Feng Ao Si was following Sheng Shan Lang while Long Qian Xing was going with his group.

They headed to three different directions in the forest.

“How are you planning to search for them?” Nan Luo asked curiously. Looking at the marks on the ground, he knew that there were several footsteps markings there, but they should also belong to the villagers who bypassed this area from time to time.

After all, villagers would not stay in their house and field all the time. They could also go up to the mountain in order to enrich their lives.

These footsteps precisely belong to them.

It would be hard to differentiate the footsteps that belonged to the ordinary villagers and those that belonged to the bandits.

“Look for the clues.” Nan Hua glanced at Nan Luo and then looked at the footsteps and also the branches. The location of the branches told her the position of the people who passed by and the direction where the branch fell told her which direction they went to.

These were all traces that were made unconsciously when these people passed by the area.

But it would be hard for her to mention about these branches and leaves, which looked normal for ordinary people. Only those who were used to live in the forest would know that they had been moved for various reasons.

“What kind of clues?” Nan Luo looked at the branches and felt headache. He couldn’t differentiate whether it was made by the villagers or by the bandits that come here.

That is if they ever come here.

“What did I teach you before?”

“Every single mark had different characteristic and type.” Nan Luo pursed his lips. In terms of tracking, he was taught by Nan Hua and even his grandfather didn’t think that there was anything wrong.

It was because Old Master Nan also acknowledged Nan Hua’s talent and knowledge in this area.

“In the forest, there are three types of marks. Do you remember?”

“Yes, there are marks made from nature, animals, and lastly manmade.” Nan Luo looked at the branches and footsteps below them. “These are all should be manmade, but even if I know they’re all manmade, how do I know who they belong to?”

“There are some differences.” Nan Hua actually wanted to say that the shoes itself could tell a lot of thing. However, this required detailed observation and examination of the marks that might not be done with naked eyes.

It was usually done with proper equipment in the laboratory.

After all, human’s eyes were limited and those microscopic mark truly couldn’t be noticed with their normal eyes.

Nan Hua also didn’t expect herself to be so godly.

She only faintly noticed the differences in the shoes mark on the ground. Those who lived in the village and those who belong in the army had different shoes because of their activities.

Not to mention, there was an obvious clue in front of her.

“The footsteps belong to both human and horses, so it can be estimated that the bandits come with horses and pillaged the villagers.” Nan Hua was calm as she looked at the ground and pointed to those relatively circle marks. “Follow the horse footsteps.”

Nan Luo’s eyes revealed surprise and looked down. The horse marks were faintly covered with the human’s footsteps, making it hard to notice. Not to mention, the bandits didn’t come yesterday, so the mark had somewhat fade.

For those without keen observation, they could only think that these steps were all overlapping against each other.

But Nan Hua was right.

He could see these circles that should belong to the horses.

“But there are rocky areas at the front.”

“There are some dirt marks.” Nan Hua was calm as she continued to walk to the front. The people behind her were all looking at each other.

They felt stupid.

Nonsensical questions began to fill their head right now.

They felt that they were all trained scout, but before they could examine the surroundings carefully, Nan Hua had already walked forward. It was as if their careful examination could be completely within moments by her.

This made them stupid.

Just who among them is the professional scout?

Hearing how Nan Luo and Nan Hua communicated, they felt that Nan Hua should have been the real scout in their army. Her abilities alone were more than enough to cover 100 of them.

They were both proud and ashamed.

However, Nan Hua didn’t know what the thought of these soldiers under Nan Luo was. She was only doing her job and as someone who was used to track other people for various reason, she had easily identified the footsteps and also their origin.

She still couldn’t detect those that couldn’t be seen without the help of some tools, but this was enough.

Tep.

Nan Hua walked deeper into the forest until they reached the area with more horse steps on the ground. She knew that they were getting closer to the area where the bandits were more active.

Even if she could defeat a lot of these bandits, she didn’t want to take the risk. She was no longer doing a lone mission like she used to be but rather a group mission with the others.

“Raise the flag.”𝗇𝑜𝗏𝔢𝓵𝗇𝗲xt.𝕔𝞸𝗆

Nan Luo beckoned with his hand but he saw that the soldier behind him had already raised the flag when Nan Hua gave the order. The corner of his lips twitched.

Are you soldiers under Nan Hua or under me?

He slandered inside his mind.

However, Nan Luo was also helpless about this. He knew Nan Hua’s capabilities and had seen them with his own eyes in the past. It was not that strange that even his soldiers would instinctively feel respect when they saw her abilities.

Forget it.

She’s also his twin sister, so Nan Luo decided to just accept it as it is.

Drap! Drap! Drap!
