Chapter 1913 In Search of the Renegade?
After the previous conversation, no one in Minos' group showed any interest in dealing with the gorgons.
Even Minos understood that they were too dangerous to have in his crew and preferred not to encounter them by chance.
Gorgons could control their special ability to a certain degree, but it required a lot of self-control on the part of one of them, and you could never be sure if you could trust one of them.
With the slightest carelessness on the part of a group like Minos', one of these creatures could incapacitate an entire crew.
Since there were many other races of beasts on this continent that might be of interest to them, there was no reason for the group to take a chance with such a dangerous race.
Then, soon after this conversation, the group left for this city of the Nine-Tailed Foxes, and Minos and his wives were given a useful possession in a part of this city that was designed for beings with human body limits.
Even on the animal continent, there were cities shaped like human cities, just as there were on the bottom of the sea and elsewhere in the Spiritual World.
The human race was not the ruler of this world, nor was it the strongest or most talented to "force" other races to follow these parameters.
The fact that there were buildings suitable for humans worldwide was a matter of practicality for all races that could change their bodies and had some relevance.
For example, how could a snake tribe welcome a dragon to do business in their tribe? The places where these two kinds of beings lived were completely different. Their body sizes were different.
A dragon, even a young one, could be the size of dozens of human houses. On the other hand, a snake or a fox were usually much smaller, even if they were older and more powerful.
Thus, the only way to welcome a member of another race into one's city or territory was through buildings that were accessible to different types of races.
The most common form in this world was the humanoid, which was very versatile.
So, every territory had places that were useful to humans, and soon, Minos and his wives settled into a villa where they were left alone to rest.
From the point of view of Minos' crew and the city foxes, they had been traveling apart for a long time. So, it was time for them to rest while they could share each other's presence.
But only Minos needed to relax since all his wives had spent the last few months quietly in his family's Spatial Kingdom.
However, the kind of relaxation he wanted to share with his wives was rather special and exhausting...
And so he and his four wives would soon spend a fiery night in the territory of the Nine-Tailed Foxes!
...
The next day, Minos and his wives woke up early, all of them much more fulfilled after hours of fun and then sleeping together, something they hadn't done for months.
After waking up this morning and eating a hearty breakfast with Bella, who had personally served them, the Stuart family would soon leave town with only a portion of their party to go in search of Titus.
Most of the group would remain there, continuing their exploration or resting from the boat ride they had taken to get here. Minos had not yet returned to this city and was only going to explore the surrounding area in search of more reinforcements.
So when he left with his wives, only the members of the Ancestral Folk, the mercenaries, and the two descendants of the Longus family went with them on this morning's journey.
The territory of the Nine-tailed Fox Tribe was not large enough for people with the cultivation of those individuals in the group, so in a few hours, they would arrive at the place that the map Bella had given Minos led to.
Arriving in this area, Minos' people would soon notice the presence of beasts that were somewhat different from those one might see in this tribe's territory, a foretaste of what one would find on this continent.
The tribal territories covered about 90% of this continent. Most beasts, whether low-level or high-level, respected the boundaries of the territories, as the chances of problems arising from territory invasions were not small.
Precisely because of this, in the 10% of the continent's land that had no owners, anyone passing through these places would find a density of beings beyond the ordinary, with individuals of different races coming and going.
Seeing this, the women of Minos looked with interest at some of the creatures around them, creatures that only existed on this continent.
At the top of one tree was a large black eagle, while on the stump of another tree was a creature standing upside down, looking at its surroundings.
Here and there, creatures crawled, jumped, or ran, often using the sound of the wind hitting the surrounding trees or leaves to camouflage the sound of their movements.
But while several creatures could be seen or sensed in the area, only a few had a relevant level of power for Minos' group to look at and worry about.
Despite being so strong, this continent obviously had weak creatures. What made it special was not the absence of weak creatures but the strong presence of powerful beings.
But like everywhere else, most living beings there were at a low level, mostly young or still in their youth.
Minos ignored these many beings who were of no interest to him and looked directly at where he felt the aura of a level 89 Sage, perhaps the mark of the being he was looking for.
"Let's go. Maybe we can find the elder Titus sooner than we thought." He said to his people, confident that the fox was still alive since Bella's tribe still had the item that signaled Titus' vital status.
With that, he walked ahead of the group, ignoring the lower-level beings around him while attracting the glances and attention of some of the 9th-stage creatures nearby.
Among those who looked at him as he went deeper into this land was a snake wrapped around a tree trunk, who immediately noticed a special aura coming from those in Minos' group.
'Friends of those dirty foxes?' This being thought to himself as he looked at the group of 9th and 10th-stage beings.
'But that human... Why do I get this feeling from him? This being was worried, sensing that the enemies of his tribe might have managed to ally themselves with dangerous humans.
'I must warn our allies. If these foxes have a new trick up their sleeves, we must react somehow!' He thought before crawling to the ground and quickly moving away from Minos' group towards a cave near a nearby waterfall.
