While Nan Hua was looking at Feng Ao Si and calculated the best path, Nan Luo was running madly into the forest. He paid attention to Feng Ao Kuai behind him but most of his focus was to run as fast as possible.
'He's fast.'
Feng Ao Kuai furrowed his eyebrows. In the time he didn't see Nan Luo, he could see that the brat's speed had increased so much. However, it was not said that they were not allowed to use any methods to catch the flag.
Slash! Slash!
Several bamboos were cut into spears within seconds. Since it was just a game, he didn't make the tip to be sharp. If it accidentally harmed Nan Luo, it would be very unfortunate. Feng Ao Kuai weighted them down and throw them in Nan Luo's direction.
Swish! Thud! Swish! Thud! Swish! Thud!
The bamboo spears were thrown but didn't manage to hit Nan Luo. He kept on running around while his eyes were paying close attention to the areas around him. Running blindly would not earn him anything.
He had to buy more time for Nan Hua to finish getting the flag!
Thus, Nan Luo kept on running around in the field. He made sure that he was keeping a certain distance from Feng Ao Kuai. There was no way he would possibly let the other party caught him.
And because Feng Ao Kuai's speed was slower, there was no doubt that he wouldn't be able to catch Nan Luo.
'I can't run into a dead end.'
"There's a limit to how far you can go." Feng Ao Kuai noticed that Nan Luo was running towards the end of the forest. He smiled faintly. "You can't go anywhere from there, Luo."
When he was chasing Nan Luo, he paid close attention to his position. He had to make sure that Nan Luo was heading straight towards the end and not in circular movement. That was also the reason why he threw the bamboo spears on the way.
His tactic was not bad.
Nan Luo also noticed that he was getting himself cornered and nearly cursed. It seemed that he had underestimated Feng Ao Kuai's brain.
He couldn't be compared to the other party.
As he was about to turn, he saw that Feng Ao Kuai had already ran towards that direction, so he changed direction. When he saw that he was at the corner, Nan Luo was silent for a moment.
'Left or right? He'll be able to chase me since the difference in our speed is not that great.'
Nan Luo then turned his head upwards. He smiled. Right, if he couldn't turn right nor left, he could always go up!
Thus, Nan Luo climbed the bamboo tree without any hesitation.
He then jumped around the tree.
Feng Ao Kuai's lips twitched when he saw this scene. He forgot that they were also allowed to use the tree. Trapping Nan Luo would be even more difficult now.
'Should I also climb the trees?' Feng Ao Kuai could climb trees, but it was certainly nothing remarkable. Not to mention, his already slow speed would be even slower. He looked at Nan Luo above and his eyes glinted.
He just had to cut the bamboo tree where Nan Luo was located!
But before he could move again…
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
The screams from the other side startled the two of them. They turned their head simultaneously and saw Feng Ao Si was trapped within some kind of bamboo traps. Nan Hua was pulling his hand and pry the flag away from him.
They were speechless.
When Nan Hua saw Feng Ao Si ran into the bamboo forest, her way of thinking was similar to Feng Ao Kuai. She had to trap Feng Ao Si. Thus, she did just that. By using the knife she wielded, she cut several of them and then tripped Feng Ao Si on purpose.
"Woah, you can't…"
Stab! Stab!
He fell down and Nan Hua used two bamboos, crisscrossing in front of his neck. If it had been sharp, he might have wounded himself in his struggle. It stabbed deep into the ground, preventing Feng Ao Si from moving around.
He was stunned speechless when he saw the two bamboo spears in front of him.
How was he supposed to move when his neck was already at the mercy of the other party? If this was a real battle, he would have died just from the slight push of these two bamboos in front of him.
"Give me the flag," Nan Hua's voice was concise.
Feng Ao Si was still indignant. "Can't you take it from me?"
He was still clenching his hand tightly, not willing to give up the flag. However, Nan Hua didn't seem to care in the slightest bit. She crouched down and pried open his fingers forcefully.
It was painful.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaa."
Which was why Feng Ao Si screamed. He could only watch as Nan Hua pried his fingers open and took the flag.
Easily.
Nan Hua stood before Feng Ao Si but felt too lazy to explain that she could have used easier way in the real battlefield. First, she could just cut off his hand. Without the strength from the main body, just how long his hand could possibly hold the flag?
Secondly, she could also kill him first, making his grip lessened. If she was not strong enough, that was the best method to take the flag away from him.
However, this was a game and Feng Ao Si was not her enemy. She could only use her raw power to pry the flag away from him. It might be a bit hard, but her strength was more than enough.
Nan Hua then looked at Hou Liang as if asking whether the game was over now or not.
"The game is over…" Hou Liang was looking at Nan Hua and Feng Ao Si. For some reasons, he started to feel pity towards the young boy who was sprawling on the ground.. To be defeated by a young girl four years younger than him who didn't look strong at all… he might be doubting his life now.
