In the darkness, the gates of the camp swung open.
Even a desert bandit corps as quick as the wind needed a foothold in this desolate place to avoid the scorching sun by day and the eerie chill by night.
Thus, a secluded camp with a hidden water source came into being.
It was nestled among several hills.
From the outside, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
But if one climbed to the top of the hills, they would find an unexpected sight.
A large wooden camp had emerged from the ground.
At this moment, the bandits left behind were staring in shock at their companions who had set out with high spirits, boasting that they would return with a cartload of gold and silver.
Now, they stumbled through the gates, faces full of terror, like dogs with their tails between their legs.
"What on earth happened, my brothers?"
"Where are the others? Why are only you back?"
