Chapter 271: 271

Forest was dense with fog, that it wasn’t visible to look forward . The rain stopped but the ground was still damp and wet and the forest was very humid . The forest was also so dense that it was hard to even walk through it .

“I’m not sure if we are going the right way . ”

Hu Bong ranted as he cut down the bushes as he walked forward . After they moved past the old wood sign that said ‘Sword Creek,’ they were searching through the forest without a direction . They couldn’t move through with the horses as the forest was too dense, so they were on foot now .

‘It’s like finding a needle in a haystack . ’

It seemed it was going to be hard to find the missing special expedition team within this creek . Yeowun had opened all his senses to search for any signs of people, but he couldn’t see anyone .

[Mapping the area… at 5% . ]

Nano’s voice rang inside Yeowun’s head . Yeowun was watching through augmented reality . He saw a small square box at the corner of his sight, where Nano was showing a map as they walked through .

“No . Move to the left . ”

“Yes, Master . ”

Hu Bong changed direction at Yeowuun’s order . At least they weren’t walking through the same area with the help of Nano . Anyone would want to have Nano within them if they found out about Nano’s abilities .

But they didn’t know when they would get to find the missing people or the Godly Doctor . It was about two hours into the forest .

‘I sense energy harmonizing . ’

A small sound of harmony began to come from a distance . It seemed that Yang Danwa also felt this and was looking in the same direction and he grimaced .

“Did you feel that, sir?”

Yeowun nodded at Yang Danwa’s question . Hu Bong and Mun Ku weren’t sure what they were talking about and became curious . They were too weak to sense this sound .

“I think there’s something there . Let’s move there . ”

“Yes, sir . ”

Yang Danwa answered and Hu Bong became confused and asked, “W-where are we going?”

He wasn’t sure what they were talking about and Yang Danwa smiled and spoke .

“Lieutenant Hu . Turn to the northwest from where you are right now . ”

“Y-yes, sir!”

With Yang Danwa explaining where to go, Hu Bong cut through more bushes and walked forward . The group began to move more quickly . As they walked closer to the area, the sound grew louder .

‘It’s… like a sharp energy . ’

Energy that might come from a legendary weapon was flowing near the area . It seemed like they would get to the destination soon . It was then .

‘What is this smell?’

It was humid forest, so the sudden smell of blood pierced his nose . All members of the group also smelled this and frowned .

“Master, I smell blood . ’Read more chapter on vi pnovel

It seemed like it was coming from nearby . They quickly moved toward the smell, as it could be anyone . And toward the east, they saw a place with many sword markings .

“Ugh!”

Mun Ku frowned and looked away when they got there . All of the bushes were splattered with blood and there were bodies that had been cut into half . Organs were popping out here and there, so it was hard to see . But there wasn’t just one body . There were two bodies, and it seemed like the sword markings here were evidence of them trying to survive .

“T-these people are…”

Yeowun’s eye narrowed when he saw the faces of dead bodies . They were those who went to chase after the old man last night .

‘Did they come across that man?’

That was the likely explanation for them to be found dead . These people were only at about at the top-class level . There was no way for them to fight against the old man, but Yeowun couldn’t care about these people .

“Oh, these are people from yesterday . ”

Hu Bong also realized this and spoke as he looked closely at their faces . Hu Bong then tapped on the body with his finger a few times and spoke .

“Master, it looks like they were killed recently . ”

When they left yesterday, there was heavy rainfall . If the body was soaked under such rain, the body should have expanded, but the blood drained from the body down to the ground, leaving a trace of it which meant they were killed after the rain stopped .

‘Nano, analyze it . ’

Yeowun ordered to Nano when he placed his finger on the blood and skin of the body . A white light began to come out of his finger and Nano began to analyze . Soon, Nano’s rang inside his head .

[From analyzing the blood and the muscle contraction, the estimated time of death is 2 hours ago . ]

That wasn’t long . But it was enough time for the killer to move further away from the location . Yeowun then find out another fact .

‘Where is… another one?’

These groups traveled in groups of three . The actual group with their dead leader was a four-man group . But Yeowun couldn’t find another person’s body anywhere .

‘There’s no way he would be able to get away . ’

There were only three of them, so it was likely that the old man could easily catch up to them and kill them . But Yeowun couldn’t find another body . And when he was curious, Yang Danwa raised his hand to signal .

“Master!”
