At the sight, Chen Ping nodded almost imperceptibly.
Ordinarily, even mountain bandits disliked such cramped surroundings.
Even wild beasts would dislike a cave so bloody and steeped in the stench of corpses, let alone humans.
When things strayed from the ordinary, something sinister was surely at work. There was naturally a reason more than three hundred bandits were crammed into this one cave-the Death Messenger had arranged it deliberately.
Clearly, this fellow probably understood very well what his subordinates were like.
Relying on them to provide early warnings or mount a defense was complete fucking bullshit.
Their greatest purpose was to disguise him as a bandit chief rather than an Evil Soul Master, keeping him from attracting Shrek's attention too quickly.
Once Shrek's people had finished off the Evil Soul Masters on their list and freed their hands to deal with bandits and corrupt officials, that was.

Once enough of them were dead, the Death Messenger would pop out with a fucking Corpse Explosion, then lift the tunnel hatch and run after the blast.
Tsk, it really was perfect!
Even Chen Ping now saw this Death Messenger in a new light. The fellow really did have some brains, at least more than these Shrek Inner Court students.
