Chapter 438: Solam Bandits
Ye Cang climbed to the top of the hill and carefully surveyed the terrain. The cave was very well concealed, lying perfectly at the basin between multiple hills. If he hadn’t seen it from above, he might have never found it…
“Father, I think something’s off. That cave isn’t naturally formed…” Although Little Ye Tian could only vaguely see it, she was sure that such an orderly cave could not be natural. It was most probably man-made. As it was created in such a concealed place, if it wasn’t a robber’s den, then it must be the hideout of an evil cult.
“Wait, I’ll go investigate…” SpyingBlade leaped down the forested path, while entering stealth.
After an hour, SpyingBlade returned and saw the already completed food. His legs went weak when he saw everyone’s grave expressions. What has he made this time? While stealthed, he pinched his nose and said, “I’ve already confirmed that it’s a den of bandits, and pretty strong ones too. There is a sentry tower near the cave entrance, I’ve already dealt with it.”
“Very good. Come eat a bit and prepare. Today is bagu bug, kagu bug, and maggot soup. Although it doesn’t look very good, but it should be delicious since its effects are so good.” Ye Cang struggled to stay conscious and quickly served some on his rice, then grabbed a piece of fried insect viscera covered in withered ash.
SpyingBlade wanted to throw up just seeing it. He quickly covered his mouth, “Why is it only bagu bugs, kagu bugs, and maggots…”
“We have too much, so we should do our best to eat as much as we can. We have a few mountains worth of bug meat, it would be a pity to let it go to waste,” Ye Cang said, then instantly ate the three foods in succession. He managed to finish just in time before passing out onto the ground.
Everyone gasped. The difficulty had been increased. They might not be able to eat all three at once. It might even take two tries. As it turned out, though SpyingBlade, Lin Le, and Zhang ZhengXiong, were still ok; the rest weren’t able to do it. They had to eat a second time.
Ye Cang put away his kitchen tools, and looked at his pale companions. He cast a Mark of Nature on everyone. Little Ye Tian also applied her two blessings. Then the two of them sat down and drank some magic spring water to replenish their lost mana.
After recovering, Ye Cang drew his two guns, “Let’s go…”
Everyone skipped down the hill, one after the other. Little Ye Tian examined the entrance of the cave, “They are a gang of thieves wanted in White Stone City, the Solam Bandits. They have a bounty…”
“How do you now this?” FrozenCloud asked doubtfully. She even knows about White Stone City’s bounties? Is there anything she doesn’t know?
“It’s because this gang is situated between the two areas. Black Rock City has them listed as wanted, so White Stone City must as well. It’s obvious…” Little Ye Tian rolled her eyes at FrozenCloud.
That damn girl, * FrozenCloud saw Little Ye Tian looking at her as if looking at an idiot, and clenched her teeth. *She’s only cute when she’s quiet.
“As long as there’s a reward. Let’s go.” Ye Cang said unenthusiastically. Zhang ZhengXiong took the lead and they all followed him in.
Following the downward path, they ran across 4 or 5 elite bandits around a corner.
“Don’t let the one at the back escape! Take him down!” SpyingBlade shouted.
