"There has been a battle here!"

Wang Chong and Old Eagle stopped exactly where the masked man had encountered the huge group of men. There was a huge puddle of blood on the ground, and marks of battle could be seen across the entire area—holes all over the ground, the severed trees, and the wooden shavings here and there.
