章 348: Robbery in progress

"Hands up. All of you."

The group of humble farmers couldn't help but curse inwardly when they heard the gruff voice come from their side.

They knew what was going on instantly.

A robbery.

The huge tree was probably purposely placed in the middle of the road to block them, so that they could then come out and ambush them like this while they were away from the carriages that carried their several dozen tonnes of produce.

Food wasn't that expensive in the primordial Expanse.

But 20 tonnes of it was.

Especially in a place as lush as the evergreen rainforest they were currently passing through.

While it may seem like fertile land, which it definitely was, it was also extremely hard to farm.

Due to the simple fact that it was so damn dense!

The trees were huge, even the average ones could grow over 200 metres tall, not to mention their width and weight.

Take the tree blocking the road for example.
