Chapter 260 Bandits 1
In just three days, all the goods that Bhutto's caravan had accumulated were sold. The foreign merchants were very generous, which was beyond Bhutto's expectations.
Not only were all the planned goods sold, but some of the goods that were originally intended to be transported to the royal city were also sold.
It's fair to say they made a fortune.
In addition to selling their goods, they also purchased local specialties carried by the visiting caravans for sale in the cities they would pass through later on their journey.
Cheng Jiu also made a lot of progress in the past three days, buying everything he needed to.
The ointments she brought were very effective. Originally, she only sold individual items, but gradually they attracted a group of large customers who sensed a business opportunity.
These big clients don't buy one item at a time; they want to buy everything with a wave of their hand. Cheng Jiu's ointment supply isn't enough for them.
There was even a small auction, where the ointment sold for up to seven times its original price, and Cheng Jiu made a small windfall.
"Leave now?" Cheng Jiu looked at Yan Ji and the others who were tending to the furry beast.
Before leaving, Yan Ji and the others had to thoroughly clean up the furry beast. They were originally supposed to start taking care of it the day after they entered the city, but they encountered the inn incident and then the big market, so they had no time or energy to do so.
We decided to move it to the last day. Besides grooming the furry creature's thick, long fur, we also had to trim its nails. We were quite busy.
Only when all team members work together are there just enough people.
"Hmm! The goods have all been sold out ahead of schedule, there's no need to keep them any longer."
The space was also rented out for 1,500 yuan a day, and the rent was fully recovered, resulting in a small profit.
Speaking of this, the other person's eyes and brows were full of smiles, like a little bear hugging a honey pot, clearly quite satisfied with the harvest of the past few days.
After saying that, he looked at the furry beast again and directed the team members. Such a big creature couldn't function without someone to command it.
After thoroughly cleaning up the furry beast, the group was all panting heavily.
After catching her breath, Yan Ji placed her hands on the furry beast, and crimson flames quickly emerged, drying the moisture off the beast's body. Zhu Yu, standing beside her, held an enchanting pen and drew a few strokes in the air, and an enchantment lightly landed on the furry beast.
The furry beast couldn't help but let out a comfortable low growl.
"Alright!" Yan Ji withdrew her hand. The furry beast was wet, but its body was completely dry. It had probably been groomed and its fur was extremely fluffy.
Cheng Jiu helped Yan Ji and the others tie the goods to the furry beast.
The group sat on the furry beast and set off again.
Unlike entering the city, leaving the city was extremely smooth, and there were no beggars coming forward, which clearly showed that the garrison's crackdown was quite effective.
The furry beast was quite fast, and it only took half a day to leave the border town.
"Shadow Three, go ahead and see what happened!"
As soon as they left the city gate, the entire caravan went into a state of alert. Clearly, the road ahead was not smooth. Buto keenly sensed something was wrong ahead and looked at Shadow Three, who was in charge of reconnaissance at the outpost.
Shadow Three silently left the furry beast, disappearing ahead with a few leaps, to investigate the situation.
"The Shadow Clan is extremely talented in reconnaissance," explained Cheng Jiu, the novice, to Team Blue.
Cheng Jiu was amazed by Yin San's skills. Although the other party had no cultivation, his ability to hide was so good that it would be difficult for ordinary people to detect him.
Not long after, Shadow Three returned from the front and appeared silently in front of everyone. Except for Cheng Jiu, who was a stranger who was surprised, the other team members were not surprised at all.
"The commander was ambushed ahead, but I didn't spot any ambushes!"
Shadow Three reported his findings to Bhutto.
"Interception?"
Cheng Jiu's body tensed up as he summoned the Heavenly Wood Sword, gripping it tightly in his hand, his aura carrying a hint of murderous intent.
Sensing Cheng Jiu's reaction, Bru comforted him, "Don't be nervous, this situation is actually quite normal. There have been similar ambushes at the border before."
"Count Cousin must have cleared out a group, which is why they set up their ambush here."
Cheng Jiu couldn't hear any comfort in Bru's words; he only became more wary.
They're experts! Guys who commit robbery and murder like this are bloodthirsty thugs, each one extremely vicious, and should never be underestimated.
"Shieldbearer, you're in charge of protecting the furry beast. Everyone else, if you encounter it, get down immediately, spread out the battlefield, and don't hold back!" Buto assigned the tasks.
"Don't worry, Commander!"
The team members stood up, weapons in hand, and responded.
The furry beast became more and more restless as it went further, and the stench of blood grew stronger.
In a dense forest, in a low ravine in the middle, torn limbs and blood stained the land red, and scattered weapons silently told the story of the tragedy that had occurred.
Such a place is perfect for ambushes and hiding; it's difficult to escape from either the front or the back.
The closer they got, the more tense the team members became. Suddenly, a noise came from the dense forest, and Cheng Jiu immediately threw a handful of explosive talismans in the direction of the noise.
Boom! Birds scattered in the distance, dust swirled, and scorched bushes rustled.
There was no one there; the sound was like that of a bird in flight.
But no one present relaxed, especially Cheng Jiu, who was extremely perceptive. Since entering this small mountain valley, he had felt no fewer than ten gazes fixed on her.
Each is different; there are people in the dense forest!
The man, covered in dust and grime from the explosion, darted through the dense forest, then somewhat disheveledly asked a very strong and tall man, "Boss, should we make a move?"
"Haha! Fourth brother, what happened to your face!" Before the eldest brother could speak, the equally tall man next to him pointed at his face and laughed.
"Mind your own business!" The man called the fourth brother wiped his face, looking quite disheveled. He didn't want to talk to the man who was mocking him. What was this brainless idiot laughing at?
She looked at her boss with a wronged expression and said, "That girl is too vigilant. I haven't done anything yet, and she's already attacked. I don't know what she used, but the power was quite formidable."
Speaking of the fourth brother, he felt a lot of grievances. He hadn't done anything or said anything.
He accidentally startled a bird, and explosive tags rained down on him. If he hadn't run fast, he would have been seriously injured, if not killed.
"Are the second brother and the others ready?" Only then did the eldest brother speak.
His face was not good-looking, and could even be described as ugly. The most striking feature was the scar that ran horizontally from his left eye to his jaw. His eyes were also frighteningly fierce, devoid of any human emotion.
It may seem unassuming, but that's precisely what makes it so terrifying.
The man next to him bore a striking resemblance to him, the only difference being that he did not have the horrifying scar on his face.
It was precisely because the two were brothers that the other was able to occupy a high position in this gang of robbers.
