Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 924: Another Night of Waiting (2)

Nan Hua shook her head. She looked at Yu Jin deeply for a moment before asking, "You put a lot of trust to me, Jin Jie."     

The information that Yu Jin gave to her wouldn't be known to many other people aside from those involved. For her to tell Nan Hua everything meant that she was also putting the secret of her Mountain Tribe at risk of being exposed.     

Yu Jin laughed lightly. "Would you really put your older sister in danger, Hua'er?"     

Nan Hua looked at Yu Jin.     

She herself couldn't understand what was going on in Yu Jin's head and how this new 'older sister' of hers thought. All that she knew was that Yu Jin didn't think the same way as ordinary people did.     

What she did, what she thought, what she decided, everything might seem strange in front of others.     

But for her, it was all very normal.     

"I don't think so."     

Yu Jin chuckled. "Then I didn't think it's wrong for me to share a bit with you since you're so curious. At the same time, I wonder what your Dark Moon Organization will do to help us?"     

"When you come down later, there'll be someone who will deliver the necessary information about the few cities around Xia Mountains, including those from Fei Yang Kingdom. I would like you to destroy the information after you read it, though."     

"Naturally."     

The corner of Yu Jin's mouth curled up to form a smirk. Rather than manpower, what the Mountain Tribe needed the most was information. Dark Moon Organization had just annexed Night Rat Organization not long ago, which meant that their information gathering ability had increased.     

As long as they had the necessary ability to collect information, it would be more than enough for them.     

She didn't mind destroying the information after reading them since at that time, she would have all the necessary information. Her memory was pretty good and it was not like she would be alone to memorize all of those information.     

"And those warriors. Do you know what cause them to turn that way?" Yu Jin pointed to the back. "I reckon they're part of the rats that the Zhang Xu Kingdom used to test some of their ancient records. However, I'm not sure of their real abilities and what that kind of poisons could do to them and those around them."     

She always burned those corpses in fear that they would contaminate her people and this area. If that happened, wouldn't it be the same as making this mountain inhabitable place?     

She would never want that to happen.     

"They're muscle type enhancing drug." Nan Hua was actually thinking what she should do to explain about the hormone in humans' body. It was impossible for her to explain that because the medical knowledge in this era didn't include hormone yet.     

It would take several decades or even more than a century before people began to know what it was.     

Just like rise in adrenaline hormone could cause human to do what they didn't think they could do before, the drug was doing the same. It was blocking the pain receptors in human's body and made them think that they were invincible.     

Without them realizing that they were actually destroying their body.     

"Is it that good?" Yu Jin expressed her doubts.     

Nan Hua shook her head. "If you use it, you won't be able to feel pain properly and might even lose your senses. Even when you're in danger and about to die, your body will still move as if you're in your peak condition because you think that you're still in your peak. When your body finally couldn't move, you will die even without you thinking that it's possible."     

Yu Jin was stunned.     

She really thought that it was a type of medicine that could cause them to grow stronger. As it turned out, it was the type of drug that was only blocking their perception, making them think that they're stronger.         

"In that case, why did they look like they're stronger?"     

"That's because they're not limited by their body's pain and normal limitation. It's similar as what will happen if you exert your body and your body will usually stop you. But in their case, there won't be anyone who stop them." Nan Hua really didn't know how to explain it further than this.     

Saying that there were some herbs that could block their nerve receptors?     

It was already hard enough for her to explain how the nerve actually worked without the other person having basic biology lesson.     

She could only use simple analogy.     

Yu Jin nodded. She could exert her body, but it would definitely protest to her if she exceeded the limit that her body allowed. But those people didn't have that 'alarm' from their body, which made them didn't think that their body had crossed the limit.     

They simply continued.     

That was actually quite scary in itself.     

"Why did they use that kind of drugs?" Yu Jin asked.     

"In order to be able to win the war and to make use of some people whom they actually didn't want to use."     

Nan Hua lightly touched her needles.     

That drug that could cause one's body to block all of the pain receptors and natural human's body protection was just one thing. But for the people there to control the prisoners, what they actually used was a needle technique.     

A forbidden technique that should have been lost in time.     

At least, in her original world, this technique had long been lost. There was only the record of this technique ever exist, but there was no record that stated how it was done.     

So, it was only a myth.     

But when she came to this world, Traveling Doctor Liu told her that the technique actually existed and taught her a bit about that.     

He also told her that this technique come from Zhang Xu Kingdom as the record is left there.
