Chapter 1937 A Curious One??
After leaving the core of the Phoenix Tribe's territory, Minos' group left that territory the same day they left, using a wormhole path controlled by that tribe.
After that, the dangerous part of their journey began, as they headed north at high speed into the territory of the second-strongest tribe in the world.
The first few days of the group's journey had not been complicated. Using various strategies to leave the Phoenix Tribe's territory without attracting attention and having the advantage of moving first, the group left the tribe's area of influence without any major problems.
With the group members working together, they would travel for almost a month without any problems.
Dunyxa had manipulated her poison on targets they encountered every day, making them follow in directions similar to their own, not so far away from them that it would be obvious it wasn't them, but far enough away that their group wouldn't be in too much danger.
In addition to her and the action of the phoenixes carrying the group, the Demigods of the crew had done their best to distort the space around the still-marked level 91 Sea Folk woman, trying to get in the way of her possible pursuers.
All of these strategies had been in place since they had left the core of the Phoenix Tribe, the only place where they knew there would be no observers or pursuers coming for them.
But even though it had worked for the first few weeks of the group's escape, they knew it wouldn't last long!
Before they even reached the 7th week since their departure from the previous camp, the group's peace would come to an end!
...
At the moment, Minos' group was in the central part of the Continent of Beasts, an area full of powerful beasts and tribes capable of reaching the 10th stage.
If one looked at the map of the continent in terms of power level, one would notice that most of the tribes capable of reaching the 9th stage were located on the coasts of this land, especially in the eastern and western areas.
The strongest tribes, on the other hand, were located in the continent's interior, spread out in the central part, extending a little to the south and mostly to the north of these lands.
Minos' group was following this path, and a few days ago, they had reached an area where it was unusual to see beings below the 10th stage traveling alone.
In this part of the continent, beings with cultivation below the 10th stage would never travel without the company of at least one Demigod.
In this area, the weakest lived in their tribe's territory, and when they went out, they were accompanied by elders!
As such, the density of beings one would see when traveling there was very low, even considering the large number of living beings on such a continent.
However, every being one saw there was a Demigod, which was shocking to the unprepared and very dangerous, as any problems that arose would be of the highest level.
Since this area was close to many powerful tribes, even though the Minos' group had only used the areas not dominated by tribes, they had to be careful because not only were these beings powerful, but they were from different tribes.
It wouldn't take much for a confrontation to break out!
Just that afternoon, while the group was traveling, a level 93 winged lizard that was in their path couldn't help but take an interest in Minos' group.
Spying the human who exuded the power of the sovereign race of this continent, this subordinate of the dragons approached Minos' group as soon as he saw him, looking strangely at the brown-haired fellow.
"Who are you? Are you related to my lords?" He asked loudly, attracting the attention of the people in Minos' group.
Minos looked in that direction, remembering the words of Onyx, who had told him that his dragon aura could cause him problems. 'Damn it. Will he get in our way?'
That lizard didn't seem to be interested in attacking their group, but as long as he stood in their way, it would be enough to disturb them and help the Gorgons that were chasing them.
"More or less. Sorry, we can't stop now. We're on our way to the Dragon Tribe." One of the phoenixes answered in Minos' place, causing the lizard to change its path to go in the same direction as this group.
"You can't stop? Why is that?" He wondered.
There were no reports of humans possessing dragon aura. And even if there were hybrids of this race with humans, hybrids didn't have such strong auras, and Minos clearly wasn't a hybrid.
So when the creature saw Minos, it didn't know whether to consider him a friend or an enemy.
If Minos had been alone, or just with the phoenixes and other humans, this creature wouldn't have bothered to get in his way. However, several sea creatures were in this group, especially an Arctic Whale, a creature directly subordinate to the Sky Whales.
Seeing several creatures directly or indirectly under the command of the Sky Whales, creatures at war with the dragons of this continent, the Demigod immediately was suspicious of such a group.
Unlike some of the creatures Minos' group had encountered in the area over the past few days, this individual was a direct subordinate of the Dragon Tribe. Unlike many of the Demigods they had seen, he would act against them if they turned out to be enemies of the dragons!
Concerned about his leaders' war and how he could contribute to the continent's strongest race in these difficult times, this level 93 lizard was willing to put aside his plans to join this group of 36 individuals.
Minos saw that his group might have to get into a conflict with such an individual, which would be very bad for him. So he intervened and said. "We are fleeing from enemies. Gorgons are chasing us, so we can't stop. If you want to know more, come with us. We're going to the heart of the dragons' territory."
"Gorgons?" The beast narrowed his eyes as he looked strangely at Dunyxa.
"Are you a friend or enemy of my rulers?" He put the problem of the Gorgons aside, looking for a sincere answer from the human.
If Minos lied, he would take action against that group!
As much as this was only a level 93 beast that they could deal with, killing it could cause more problems for them.
In addition to delaying their escape, it might also create more enemies for the group!
With that, while the people there got a little nervous, Minos replied.
"I consider myself an ally." He said, thinking of the future when tribes, nations, and races would no longer matter to this world, and it would be time for the beings of the Spiritual World to fight the invaders.
