Chapter 866: A Strange Boy
Thud!
Unable to maintain his speed anymore, the boy dropped to the ground.
Nan Hua looked at the boy expressionlessly as blood dripped from the back of her hand to the ground.
The needle was not poisonous.
She also didn’t aim for his vital point that would kill him. Instead, the needle would incapacitate him for a brief moment.
“Young Miss!”
Ji Han Yu frowned when he saw the boy in front of Nan Hua. He looked at the marks on the ground along with the spatter of blood and knew that there was fierce battle happening just now.
It seemed that this boy was not ordinary.
For him to be able to wound Nan Hua had proved that he must have excellent skill.
“I’m fine.” Nan Hua looked at the boy in front of her. He crouched on the ground, holding one of his leg that couldn’t move because of Nan Hua’s needle. His eyes were filled with wild gaze that was unsuitable for human.
But Nan Hua was familiar with that kind of gaze.
It was the same gaze as the one she and those who survived in that hell had when they were first thrown to the forest. All of them were younger than 5 years old, barely capable of fending for themselves.
Yet, they were all forced to survive on their own in the forest while killing each other in order to live.
“Name.”
The boy looked at Nan Hua.
“Since you lose, your life is mine now.” Nan Hua stepped forward and pointed her dagger towards the boy’s neck. “If you’re dissatisfied with it, kill me with your skill.”
Swish!
Nan Si had also arrived and looked at the scene from the back. He didn’t know anything that had happened, but he had no intention of barging in and interfere in whatever Nan Hua was planning to do.
In his opinion, it didn’t matter whether the boy died or live.
On the other hand, Ji Han Yu’s lips twitched. He felt that there was something wrong with Nan Hua’s logic, but he couldn’t pinpoint what it was exactly.
All he could do was stare at the two youngsters in front of him.
The boy looked at Nan Hua deeply. He seemed to be able to understand what Nan Hua was saying. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth, “Hui Ling.”
“I’m Jun Hua.” Nan Hua glanced at Ji Han Yu. “This is Ji Han Yu and he’ll be in charge to take care of you until we return to the mountain.”
“Jun Hua…” Hui Ling’s gaze didn’t leave Nan Hua as he nodded his head. He struggled to stand up with one trembling leg. His height was barely Nan Hua’s shoulder even though Nan Hua herself was fairly short.
His thin hand had long fingernails that was chapped. It seemed that he had been using his fingernails and hands to kill animals in order to survive all this time.
“There is a small village nearby.”
Black, or Wan Xiong, followed them to see what was inside the West Valley. He stopped not far from Nan Si when he saw the young boy as he tried to recall all information he had about the West Valley.
“Village? I never heard of one.” Ji Han Yu was confused.
“It’s located in the other side of this mountain in the border between Zhang Xu and Wei Da Kingdom. It’s near the end of the West Valley’s trail.” Wan Xiong didn’t mind becoming the traveler guide.
“Bring us there.”
“Do you think this boy is coming from there?” Ji Han Yu pointed at Hui Ling, who had already sat down on the ground again.
Nan Hua nodded.
There was no way Hui Ling would voluntary chose to live in this area if he was not forced to. The biggest possibility was for him to come here because the villagers drove him away without wanting to take care of him.
It should have been some time since he come to the West Valley.
“I’ll take you there.” Wan Xiong agreed right away.
Hui Ling was barely injured since Nan Hua’s dagger only made small wound on his arm. Wan Xiong helped him to bandage his injury while Nan Hua wrapped her own hand with some cloth.
It was enough for the time being.
“Young Miss, since he can wound you, does it mean that he’s stronger than me?” Ji Han Yu asked curiously. His eyes were shining with fighting spirit as if he had just found an interesting toy to use.
Nan Hua passed a sidelong glance.
“He’s faster than you.”
But stronger?
The answer would be no.
The only reason why Hui Ling was able to wound her was because his speed was comparable to her. She was not used to his speed at the beginning, giving him a chance to wound her.
But once she had gotten used to his speed, there was no comparison at all.
His fighting was like that of a beast that was very desperate.

Nan Hua knew the best method to fight those who fought that way because her opponents in the past were all fighting using that way. They were unpredictable, but at the same time, they couldn’t attack systematically.
If one wanted to defeat them, they just had to rely on their senses.
As long as they could notice their signs or faked their own body language to invite them to attack, they would be able to control the flow of the battle.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
The rest of the journey could be said to be very peaceful.
There was no other anomaly in the West Valley until they reached the end of the road. Wan Xiong then proceeded to lead them in the direction of Zhang Xu Kingdom where they climbed the mountain and stopped by the small village he mentioned.
There was barely anyone there.
“Hello!” Wan Xiong called out when he saw a man came out of his gardening space.
