The Rise of the Black Plain



Another day passed...

As Minos' group moved closer to the heart of the Phoenix territory, their pursuers were not far behind!

The Gorgon group was now less than two hours away from Minos' group, while the snakes of one of the tribes that had lost part of their people to Emperor Stuart's group followed in the Gorgon's footsteps.

These snakes were not as good at hunting as the Gorgons, but they were very good at following the footsteps of other snake-like creatures.

By following the footsteps of the Gorgons, the serpent group was practically on par with the most dangerous group for Minos' people, even though they were much weaker than those creatures!

But as they silently approached their targets, these snakes would soon stop their pursuit when they saw that something had reached the gorgons and caused them to stop their chase temporarily.

Unable to hear what it was, the group of five snakes, a different one from the one that had been investigating the place where their tribe members had been barbecued, stopped to wait for the Gorgons to move again.

Meanwhile, those creatures gathered around the strongest of the group, a level 95 Gorgon, the strongest of the group!

"So? What have you discovered?" The Gorgon leader asked, holding up a communication crystal that had caused her group to stop moving after it had started ringing seconds ago.

A Gorgon on the other end of the line said. "There really are Nine-Tailed Foxes in the group you're chasing, just as you thought. Two of them are unknown foxes, probably bred outside the tribe. But we already know two of them.

One is Bella, who left her position as leader of the tribe to join Minos Stuart's crew. The other is the treacherous old Titus, who allied himself with the damned Danyxa."

"So that bitch is with them!" One of the Gorgons in the group chasing Minos said as she clenched her fists, feeling that she could eliminate this traitor along with the rest of the crew.

"Who is this Minos Stuart?" The leader of this group of Gorgons asked. 

"Minos Stuart seems to be a ruler of a state in the Central Continent. He is forming a crew to travel to the North Sea." The female voice said, but she couldn't hide the mocking tone in her voice.

But she believed what the foxes of the tribe she was now had told her. With her special poison that could force creatures of all kinds to tell the truth, there was no way they could fool her!

"Oh? That's rather unexpected. Did they have this goal in mind before they challenged us?" The Gorgon holding the communication crystal asked.

"Yes."

"What about their group? What's it like?"

The female voice replied. "It is not weak. There are 32 beings in it. There are humans, hybrids, land, and sea beasts, but also Danyxa... In short, the group is a great mix of beings from different races.

Their goal of recruiting members to join their exploration of the North Sea seems sincere. They must not have lied to the foxes of this tribe."

"What about their level?"

"Most of them are Demigods between level 90 and 91. The weakest of the group is level 80."

Upon hearing this, all the Gorgons in the group chasing Minos smiled in relief, seeing they could handle this problem without any major worries.

If that were all this group had, it would be impossible for those bold enemies to withstand the strength of these Gorgons!

The group leader said before ending the conversation. "Report this to the tribe. In the meantime, we'll continue our hunt."

With eight Gorgons in this group, three level 93, four level 94, and one level 95, it would be virtually impossible for Minos' group to survive them!

Even if their group were at the same level as Minos' group, they would still have a chance to inflict incomparable damage on them. After all, their abilities were genuinely terrifying. However, they were two levels stronger, and even the weakest of them was stronger than the strongest of the enemies!

Realizing this, right after the previous call ended, they went back to follow the path of their opponents, feeling that they could reach them in a little over 4 hours.

"Let's do it! Time to kill these bastards!"

...

Meanwhile, Minos' group was several dozen kilometers ahead of their pursuers, flying at the highest speed they could muster.

"How much further until we reach the core of this area we're heading for?" The group's Arctic Whale asked, eager to reach the group's next destination.

"About six hours," Bella said since she was the one in the group who knew the most about the way to the headquarters of the Phoenix Tribe.

Hearing this, the Sea Folk made worried expressions of displeasure.

"This is going to be a problem. I sense that our enemies are not far away." The level 91 woman commented.

Neither she nor the other two affected by the Gorgon poison could say for sure how close their enemies might be due to the poison in their bodies.

But from what they had heard from Minos and Danyxa, not only this woman but also the level 91 mercenary and Emperor Stuart had the same feeling.

The enemies were definitely not far away!

Danyxa's expression was even more terrifying, for she knew how her tribe worked.

"The group chasing us won't come to talk to us. They will turn us into stones when they find us and take us back to the tribe to expose our bodies to our allies. This group must have mid-level Demigods for that." She commented, indicating that if they didn't enter the core of the Phoenix Territory sooner, where these Gorgons would avoid going, they would probably face death.

The Gorgon tribe didn't mess around when it came to revenge. They used their advantage to crush their opponents!

Level 92 Gorgons had fallen to Minos' group? Then the group chasing them would surely have level 93 and 94 Gorgons!

Danyxa knew this and was not optimistic.

Hearing that, Bella said. "We won't reach the core of the Phoenix Territory before then I said. But that doesn't mean we won't be in their territory before then. We'll reach the Phoenix territory in two hours.

There will definitely be elders around the area we will soon pass through."

"That's not so bad. But it won't be enough." Danyxa said, knowing that this group would not respect the border.

Her tribe respected the Phoenixes. But only the core of this territory, where there were high-level phoenixes, could frighten these creatures enough to stop them.

Outside of that place, no place could make them fearful enough to give up their revenge!
