Chapter 69 Cement Road

The matter of the masked desert bandits indeed affected the trade route. After Zhuang Yu instructed the Yellow Sand Tribe to investigate, they hadn't returned yet, resulting in a decrease in the number of caravans coming to the Crimson Great City.

At the same time, the existence of the masked desert bandits spread to all the caravans.

The caravan members were furious; this was blocking their source of wealth. They had become accustomed to traversing the Crimson Desert with their giant beasts, expecting to gain considerable rewards.

However, what they encountered was the appearance of such fierce bandits, resulting in not only loss of goods but also the deaths of many people.

People were anxious, and many caravans were now making only marginal profits, feeling as if they were making money on a knife's edge.

More enraged than these traders were the people of the Crimson Great City.

They had just begun to feel the benefits of this trade route.

Seeing how much their goods had become plentiful, they not only sold salt, porcelain, and mirrors, earning a large amount of goods, but they also bought many previously scarce items, making life much more convenient.

Just when the Crimson Great City was getting better, unexpected incidents like this occurred.

Wasn't this just adding trouble for them?

Moreover, daring to cause trouble in their Crimson Land, was this provoking the Crimson Great City?

The atmosphere in the Crimson Great City became tense. Many Four Seasons War Tribe members requested permission to go and besiege the bandits.

However, Zhuang Yu asked them to wait.

He was waiting for the Yellow Sand Tribe's report. He believed the report would not take long to come back.

First, this was their territory, and no one was more suitable than the Yellow Sand Tribe to carry out missions in the desert.

Second, the Yellow Sand Tribe had telescopes, which made reconnaissance much easier. Of course, during these days of waiting, Zhuang Yu wasn't idle.

He was arranging the construction of cement roads for the riverbanks and flower gardens.

In order to make the road flat, he even made a special "roller" out of a large tree trunk tied with ropes, rolling it over the cement road to flatten it.

These days, the people of the Crimson Great City didn't look good, feeling resentful because their food street and market had become much quieter.

"If we find out who is causing trouble, we'll kill them."

Several days later, Zhuang Yu received the report from the Yellow Sand Tribe.

According to the description, Zhuang Yu could confirm that the other party was indeed from the Bone War Tribe, and there were quite a few of them.

However, these people were not much to the Crimson Great City.

They relied on the vastness of the Crimson Land and left little trace, thinking as long as they kept changing their tracks, no one could find them.

In the past, this might have been true.

Even if they were found, by the time the news spread back, they would have disappeared.

However, now the Yellow Sand Tribe could secretly follow them, monitoring their movements at any time. As long as they didn't alert the enemy, the other party probably still had no idea.
