Chapter 20 - The Forest Bandits

About more than hundred meters away from the camping area, in the dark parts of the forest, many unknown people were lying low.

But Jin An could easily detect them, with his super sense.

Until then, he realized the reason why they were using knock out drugs instead of killing drugs. It's simple, killing drugs are way more aromatic than knock out drugs. Which will make the people easily detect it and saving themselves in time.

At the same time, Yu Zhe also detected the same things. Both of them looked at eachother, knowing the situation.

Their first instinct was to prevent and intervene but they ultimately decided to wait and see how things develop.

Acting like nothing, they both also sat down near a rock and started preparing their foods and stuffs.

From the smell of the drug, Jin An determined that it will atleast take some times to react.

The bandits are probably thinking of taking action when the people went to sleep.

After all the people were done having dinner, some went back to the carriages for the night. Some stayed outside in a tent.

But all in all, all of them went to sleep.

Jin An also went back to his carriage too. Only Yu Zhe was left outside without any tent.

He was waiting for the bandits to emerge from the darks.

As he was sitting there on a rock by the fire, a person approached him.

Feeling the sense of someone approaching, Yu Zhe quickly turned his head and looked towards the direction.

The sudden reaction of Yu Zhe caught the person off guard.

"Ah.." The person let out a surprised sound.

When Yu Zhe saw the person clearly, he found out it was a girl about the age of 16 or 17. And she was also carrying something in her hand.

It was a blanket.

"Hello." She called out in a soft voice.

Seeing that it was just a girl, Yu Zhe let down his guard a bit.

"Yes?" He replied.

"I saw you sitting there alone, from my camp. And you also appears to have no tent or anything. So, I was just bring you this small blanket for comfort." She explained as she stood just a few meters away from Yu Zhe.

Then, she approached him and extend out her hand with the blanket.

"Huh.." Yu Zhe did not expect someone thoughtful to be among the people.

Feeling that it was not appropriate to reject someone's kindness, so he thanked her. "Thank you." Then he accepted the blanket.

He really did not need the blanket at all. Ever since his body went undergone the mutation, his body became invulnerable to weather and seasonal changes.

After that, the girl went back to her tent.

As she was leaving, she heard him spoke. "I will return it to you, tomorrow morning."

She stopped for a fee seconds but she did not reply and continued walking.

Yu Zhe looked at the warm blanket and covered it over him. 'Well, since I have it, I might as well use it.'

Time went on, about an hour has passed.

All the people, inside the tent and the carriages, have completely fallen asleep.

And all the fire near the camp also went out, including the one at Yu Zhe's area too.

Rustle....Rustle....

The sound rustling noise could be heard from the nearby surroundings. But all the people seemed not to hear it.

Very quickly, many unknown people appeared out of the nearby trees and approached near the camp.

One of them murmured to another. "Boss, it seems like all of them have fallen into deep sleep."

"Um.., the drugs' effect must have started." The Boss said.

But as they approached near the camp, they saw something.

Out at the corner, with moonlight falling, a person wrapped in blanket was still sitting.

"What is that?" One of them said.

All the bandits saw the same thing. The boss also looked at it and said. "Maybe that person fell asleep as he was sitting."

"You go check it out." The boss pushed one of his lackey towards the figure.

The bandit did not think much of it and approached the figure.

On the other hand, all the other bandits prepared to carry out their plans, which is to kill all the people and loot them. A classic bandits behavior, nothing wrong with that.

However, as time passed, the boss felt something was wrong. He suddenly remembered the man he sent, was still not back yet.

It has been about 2 or 3 minutes, since he left.

Turning his head quickly, he looked at the direction of the figure under the moonlight.

As he looked, he saw nothing was there anymore. He thought. 'Maybe he had already killed it.'

With a relief, the boss signaled all the other bandits to start executing the plan at his sign.

All of them nodded and prepared their stance.

As the boss was about give his signal, he felt a sudden heavy pressure falling on his body.

Not only him, all the other bandits also felt the same thing.

Out of nowhere, the boss heard a voice from behind. "Were you looking for the man you sent?" The voice carried a teasing tone.

Gulp..

The bandit boss swallowed in fear. He was about to kneel down an beg for mercy but he could not even opened his mouth, let alone move his body.

"Don't try to struggle at all. I promise you guys, it will be quick." The voice said again.

The voice was Yu Zhe. As early as the bandits appeared near the camp, he had already planned out how to end them.

The reason he felt the need to kill them is simple. The bandits kill people and they were all trying to kill the people there.

When the first man approached him, he had already started carrying out his plan and ended the man.

One by one, all the bandits fell to the ground, dead.

After Yu Zhe killed the last one, he turned his wrist and a hologram appeared.
