Chapter 725 - 670: The Black Storm and the Bandits
Facing the many merchant caravans along the road that had been ambushed and suffered heavy casualties, the majority of the people in the huge Merchant Group of ten thousand passed by indifferently.
To these experiences, both merchant caravans and Mercenary Groups had become accustomed.
Who among those who could make money in Stealing Heaven Plain hadn’t lived through scenes of blood and violence? At most, they would show a fleeting sympathy for the plight of the hare at the fox’s death.
Some of the more compassionate Mercenary Groups or merchant caravans would allow those who remained alive to join the Merchant Group, ensuring their safety and departure from the dangerous Stealing Heaven Plain.
Witnessing these tragic scenes, Ye Chen merely sighed softly but was left speechless.
The Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor, however, gave a cold laugh, appearing indifferent.
The immense Merchant Group continued its slow progress along the main commercial route, appearing somewhat sluggish but so very stable.
The large number of people meant that even though there were many fierce bandit gangs along the way, they would only look on threateningly from a distance as the Merchant Group left, reluctant to approach because of their wariness.
Moreover, in Stealing Heaven Plain, even bandits followed a code; it was difficult for robbers to band together, each with their own pride, unwilling to join forces with other groups. Most operated alone, so as long as people stuck together on Stealing Heaven Plain, they rarely encountered disaster.
In this way, a whole day went by in the blink of an eye.
Along the way, some merchant caravans left while others joined, but the entire Merchant Group always maintained its standard of fluctuating around ten thousand people.
