Chapter 1906 Tribal Reality?
Being weaker than the leaders of a continent was not the same as being weaker in an enemy's territory. Lower-level powers would naturally align themselves with stronger powers that could protect them from threats they could not handle.
This was easily seen in human states, where ordinary people would subordinate themselves to wealthy families or organizations, while these did something similar to noble houses being vassals of royal or imperial houses.
The weakest would always have to ally or relate in some way to someone stronger than themselves, or sooner or later, they would face the risk of destruction by getting involved with someone stronger than they could handle.
The whole world worked this way, and Emlyn's tribe basically depended on the Phoenix tribe to survive on this powerful and dangerous continent.
But it wasn't as bad as it seemed to Kyla. In a way, her tribe lived on this continent as well as the Flaming Empire's imperial family lived on the Central Continent.
They weren't weak, had access to resources, and were close to high-level areas. But they were still weaker than some of their neighbors and couldn't do everything they wanted.
The big difference was that while the Flaming Empire was close to 4 stronger states and 4 of a similar or weaker level, Emlyn's tribe was close to about 40 tribes of a level close to or higher than theirs.
Unlike the Central Continent, where people could move around freely, going from one state to another with a chance of returning home even if they weren't experts, this wasn't the case in the Continent of Beasts.
There, a member of a tribe couldn't choose to live in the territory of tribe 'x' because it might be better for them. Either they would live in their tribe, or they would most likely be killed, devoured, or enslaved in another area of the continent.
Touring or traveling around the continent was very dangerous for those who weren't experts above level 80, and normally, such beasts would live in their territory.
As for living elsewhere, the only place they could go without many risks was the Divine Continent. It was the only place in the Spiritual World where they could freely live in cities with humans, hybrids, and beasts of other races.
For this very reason, the Divine Continent was a special place in the Spiritual World that was coveted by countless beings from all over the world.
There, even beasts could live in a society with completely different beings without running the same risks as they would in other areas of this vast world.
The Continent of Beasts had many special things. Still, it was very complex, and the weaker natives, most of them, didn't have much freedom to move around without taking great risks.
Like some of the sea beasts in Minos' group, who had basically only traveled around their tribes until they joined their group, most of the land beasts on this continent didn't know much about their world or continent.
They would not have a chance to learn more about the world until they crossed the level 80 barrier, and they would not have a chance to safely travel until they became Demigods.
After learning a little more about the reality of her people, Kyla couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
She already knew the entire Black Plain Empire and the territories of Albano, Blackrock, Rosser, and the Flaming Empire. Even though she was only at level 80, she probably knew an area almost half the size of her tribe's continent, something that perhaps not even the oldest elders of her people knew.
But that was the reality of the beings of this dangerous world.
While talking about the reality of the beasts of this continent, they quickly entered the deepest parts of the Nine-tailed Fox's territory without any problems.
It wouldn't be long before they encountered the first Nine-tailed Fox on this continent!
When they saw a member of that tribe running through the area they were passing through, everyone in Minos' group looked toward that level 75 creature.
It seemed to be running from something, and when it saw the two foxes with nine tails on their backs, it rushed to Emlyn and Kyla's side.
"Elders, help! I'm being chased!" The fox said, ignoring the various Demigods beside them.
Hearing this, Kyla narrowed her eyes and saw a colorful serpent, as big or bigger than the feathered serpents of the same level on the Black Plain, and took a few steps forward.
"Who dares to intimidate a junior of my tribe?" She shouted, barely aware that she was several centuries younger than the eight-tailed fox.
"Shit! Sages and Demigods!" The serpent chasing the 'young' eight-tailed fox screamed when it saw Kyla and Minos' entire group.
But before it could flee, Kyla moved, appearing beside him and moving one of her paws at high speed toward the serpent's head.
The claws of the paw sliced through the air, and in a single instant, Kyla sliced off the head of the level 76 serpent.
Seeing this, Emlyn sighed. "Some things never change... Those damned serpents still bother my people." She said, remembering some of their main rivals in the area.
The Nine-tailed Fox tribe had basically two types of enemies. One was those who usually competed for items and were on the same level of strength. The others were those they could not fight and could only flee to their territory, where few would dare to invade due to the protection of the Phoenix Tribe.
The Phoenix Tribe was one of the strongest on the Continent of Beasts, so even other tribes with 10th-stage members would avoid invading their territory.
In the case of that serpent, it was a member of a tribe at the same level as Emlyn's.
Seeing the lifeless body of her daughter's target, Emlyn remembered the many dangers she had faced in this place when she lived there.
"Elder, thank you for your help." The level 75 fox thanked her, finally feeling less fearful enough to look closer at his surroundings and notice the creatures accompanying Emlyn and Kyla.
"But elder, who are those with you?" The creature asked.
The Nine-tailed Fox Tribe had over 60,000 members and more than 700 9th-stage elders. Therefore, this one with an 8th tail formed wouldn't know all the elders in his tribe, and he wasn't surprised that he didn't know the aura of these two 9th-stage foxes.
Emlyn said to that fox. "These are our tribe's friends and allies. I'm taking them to meet some friends."
"Oh? Is that true?" The level 75 fox looked at them with a wink.
