So far, Dean McKenzie was quite satisfied with Carney as a cooperative merchant.
Thus, he took any issues related to Carney seriously.
His first response was to talk to the old man and understand the situation.
Once he confirmed that Carney's group was ambushed about half a day's journey, fifty kilometers from the Giant Serpent Tribe, Dean immediately sent Old Eight to investigate.
He asked the old man to guide Old Eight.
Previous experiences in the Goblin Uprising Instance had allowed Old Eight and his ilk to move within a five-kilometer radius of Dean when they were at the first or second-turn.
Now, with the "Summon Skeleton" reaching level 10, and Old Eight's strength upgrading to level 120, their range of movement had greatly expanded. While Dean hadn't tested the extreme limit yet, he felt that there shouldn't be any issues within a hundred kilometers.
While Old Eight was conducting his investigation, Dean wasn't twiddling his thumbs either.
