Yu Zhung pushed his way through the crowd. Chiang and Zing were right behind him followed by the others. But blood wasn't the only thing they saw... the forest floor was littered with carnage, broken weapons and dismembered parts of numerous human bodies. The air which was normally filled with the fresh smell of greenery and wet soil was now covered with a thick scent of death and misery.
It was a scene none of them had witnessed before even though they were seasoned warriors who had grown used to the blood and gore. But this... was a bit excessive even for their taste.
But there was a far more sickening thing than that. The organs and other body parts they had found were not scattered around randomly, but they were placed in a pattern as if someone wanted to convey a message or something. However, they couldn't make it out from their point of view. Yu Zhung ordered one of the warriors to get on top of a nearby tree and see if he can make anything out with the pattern.
The man immediately got on top of the tree and what he saw next troubled him shook him.
"What is it?" Chiang asked the man who was standing on the edge of the branch, looking down at the with his eyes filled with surprise, "Can you make anything out?"
It wasn't a random pattern but a series of Chinese alphabets.
"Wo huilaile" The man absentmindedly replied to him.
"I'm back? What do you mean, I'm back?" Chiang asked the man once again.
"That's what's written on the ground... Wo huilaile, meaning I'm back."
The man was as confused as the rest of them. He was pretty sure the Golden Dragons had no enemy. It wasn't because they were friendly or something, but because they had already eliminated anyone who could pose a threat to them.
But rather than informing Chiang and Zhung about what he knew, Zing decided to bail out. Zhung was already mad at him and if he found out that Zing had met the man before, Zhung would behead him without a moment's hesitation. Zhung had a bad reputation of taking action first and then thinking about it later.
However, luck was not on his side. Before he could slip by the crowd, Zhung noticed something familiar on the ground... it was a severed arm having Jin Rong's watch on it. It was the same watch Zhung's fiance had gifted to her brother as his 25th birthday gift a few days prior.
That wasn't the only thing he found though. Next to the severed arm was a black card soaked in mud and blood. The card had the logo of Golden Dragons and the name printed on the card was none other than... Zing.
Zhung did not waste a minute in pulling his swords out of their sheath and pinned Zing down before plunging them through his limbs. It all happened so quick that Zing couldn't even realise what had happened before he felt the pain and began screaming his heart out.
He was pinned to the ground with his belly facing the ground. He was unable to move himself and the only thing he could see with the corner of his eyes was Yu Zhung's scary face looking down on him. Two of his remaining swords were in his hands ready to slice Zing's throat at the slightest provocation.
"Yu Zhung! What do you think you're-" Chiang tried to save Zing but it was too late for that. Yu Zhung had gone mad.
