Chapter 446 - Black Venom Bandit Group (1/2)

Sun had come up and Alex was not the least bit exhausted. The two men next to him were pretty jovial and were talking to each other, while the woman in front of him made a slightly disgusted face from time to time.

The old man next to her was drenched in blood by now and had done nothing about it. Thankfully, he hadn't attacked a single ally during the 3 different bandit attacks last night.

The woman had told Alex that 3 attacks were surprisingly very low for the night.

”After 3 beast attacks in a row, anyone would be scared. Especially if they lived in the forest,” the woman had said.

Alex looked around and realized that nobody really cared about his existence, and it didn't look like they were going to get attacked any time soon.

So, he decided to log out real quick and get his breakfast. He closed his eyes and got into a meditative position for a bit to see how they reacted, and after realizing that the people didn't care, he left.

He quickly did his business in the bathroom and went to eat. He gorged down the food while telling the people how precarious of a position he was in and how he could not really leave.

Then, he returned back to the game and found himself perfectly fine. Still, it was quite scary to leave his body alone like that.

The day passed by and Alex was bored with nothing to do. He tried sleeping but even that didn't really work since he wasn't tired at all.

Back when he was with the princess, he at least had a friend to talk with. If not that, he could spend his time learning about the different formations.

Now, he couldn't even do that.

'Making pills in my mind is boring and hard,' he thought. 'And there's really nothing else I can do.'

He was seated on the left side of the carriage, so when he stuck his face out to get fresh air, he couldn't even see any of the southern forests.

Instead, he saw the farmland to the south. The cool breeze of the upcoming winter hit his face and reminded him of the changing seasons.

He started spending the rest of his time doing just that, looking at the different lands to the north, instead of focusing on the south.

'That's where the ocean is right?' he thought. 'I wonder when I will get to see that and just how far it is.'

The day passed by and night fell once more. The bandits would soon attack once more.

Alex could hear the gasps of people from all around him. Even one of the men sitting towards the right window gasped.

At first, he thought it was the bandits again, but there wasn't any shout.

”Just look at that. So much damage,” the man mumbled under his breath.

Alex looked over on his side and saw that massive, almost wave of destruction all around him.

Lands were torn to shred, trees missing all around, and even the Souther forest was in a mess.

'Oh, are we back around the place where I left?' he wondered. 'This must be where that saint realm beast showed up through with its entire beast army.'

”This is seriously getting too dangerous. We can't keep risking our lives for this small sum of money,” the man said.

”Sigh, we will quit after this job and wait until the beast attacks settle down. No need to die for a little money,” the woman said.

”Ssh! Did you hear that?” the other man said.

Everyone got quiet and tried to listen to what was going on. They heard the trees rustling and then someone shouted.

”BANDITS!”

Alex was used to this by now and opened his side of the door before walking out.

The bandits surprisingly didn't charge at them, and instead slowly appeared from what remaining bushes there were and lined up against the caravan.

Alex was surprised why they were not attacking, but then he saw the woman's face.

She was worried. She wasn't scared or horrified, but she was definitely worried. Alex looked at the other members of her team as well, and they seemed worried as well.

'This one is not going to be so easy, is it?' Alex thought. He realized that the only reason the guards could be worried is if they didn't have the ability to protect their employers.

”Damn it, it's the Black Venom bandit group,” one of the men said.

Alex didn't know bandit names, but he could see where the name came from. All of the bandits had black robes and had long black hair.

'That explains the black part… so, is the venom part that they use something venomous?' Alex wondered.

”Surrender your items now, and we will let you go along just fine,” the man with a thick mustache spoke. From the looks of it, the 20 or so bandits seemed to follow him as if he were the leader.

”Don't worry guys, this is not the Black Venom Bandits. At least… not the real one,” the woman said.

”What are you? An off-shoot of the main bandit group? You certainly have to be related to have this much strength, but I know who the leader of Black Venom bandit group is, and you are not it,” the woman said confidently.

”Hah, just because I lead the weaker members of our group doesn't mean that we are not part of the group. Anyway, enough talking, will you give us the items or not?” the man asked.

Alex looked at the group of bandits and saw that most of the people, including the leader had a cultivation base in the True Realm. They were very weak in the True realms, but it was the True realms nonetheless.

Only about 3 people were in the self tempering realm, but it was still quite high.
