With the apes gone, the caravan resumed their travel. The apes were some of the most powerful enemies one could encounter, but after encountering them, one could be certain that they wouldn't come across a bunch of monsters for a while thanks to the apes being highly territorial.
Still, there were monsters that continued attacking the caravan along the way. They only had about 1 hour free before the first group arrived. It was the usual monsters that one would encounter here, most of them being below the Bronze Core realm, with some groups having some amongst their ranks.
The situation perplexed the caravan. Such weak monsters would usually keep far away from the apes and wouldn't be so near them thanks to the apes being able to rip them apart with ease. They still continued moving, but the atmosphere was definitely changing among the people present.
As for Lyle, he was one of the members of the caravan that was currently looking the worst.
