"Oh?"
The female Black Rabbit raised her eyebrow.
This female Black Rabbit stood about 1.7 ters tall, appearing like a pet dog between the two over-two-ter Minotaurs.
But the female Black Rabbit had an alluring figure, with her large ears hanging behind like long flowing hair, exuding charm with every glance.
Thus, the two Minotaur Chieftains shuddered, but quickly recovered.
"Why does this little rabbit keep blinking? But she's quite cute. If only her muscles were more developed, her chest fluff firr, and her butt bigger... Hmm, that Hippo Person that day truly was a divine beauty!"
Chieftain Big Horn couldn't help but let his thoughts wander, then smacked his lips and said, "But if that one cos to our territory, I guess nothing good will happen. Let's go, we'll find out soon enough!"
"Hmm." The Black Rabbit nodded, not saying much.
So the three of them flew towards the west.
...
"Is this the Holy Life Alliance?"
Lin Ke stepped onto the land of the Holy Life Alliance holding the Storm Rat.
In a sense, it was his first ti truly coming to the Holy Life Alliance.
Before, he had at most just passed through or stepped on it accidentally.
But this ti, he ca specifically to the Holy Life Alliance.
Moreover... it was a secret visit!
"Mr. Lin Ke, it's also my first ti here."
Knicks followed behind Lin Ke and replied.
Besides Knicks, accompanying them was Lady Heshan.
Lin Ke ca secretively this ti; others were not suitable, and of his followers, only these two had so familiarity with the Holy Life Alliance.
Of course, mainly Lady Heshan, as Knicks was born in the Lava Swamp and was not familiar with the Holy Life Alliance.
Lady Heshan was sowhat familiar.
At least she was a part of the Holy Life Alliance when she was young, before various twists and turns led her to beco Lin Ke's follower.
"We need to go to the nearest large tribe and then transfer to the Minotaurs, is that right?"
Lin Ke inquired.
Lady Heshan nodded, "Yes, sir. The Holy Life Alliance has always been tribal and doesn't have cities. Space-Ti Teleportation Arrays are generally only in large tribes."
Lin Ke nodded, discerning the direction, "Northwest of here, there should be a large tribe called the Shakel Foxman, right?"
Lady Heshan took out a mory Stone and infused it with magic power, imdiately projecting an image.
This was exactly the map of the Holy Life Alliance!
Maps within the Holy Life Alliance were rare and scarce.
There were many reasons, one being that the intelligent beings of the Holy Life Alliance rarely traveled far, mainly staying around their tribes for their entire lives.
Second, even if they travel, these intelligent beings possess innate abilities, like the Dogman's sense of sll or so bird-like intelligent beings' magnetic perception, etc.
So the need for maps was minimal.
And humans entering here are easily chased away, without much significance in map-making, leading to very few maps within the Holy Life Alliance.
Additionally, tribes here frequently attack and fight each other, or battle Magical Beasts and such.
So it's common to have mountains disappear, rivers dry up, and the like.
Not to ntion the changes caused by food, disease, environnt, climate, and geologic movents like tribe migrations or tribe extinctions.
This results in outdated maps, gradually reducing the availability of Holy Life Alliance maps.
However, what the Scarlet Wilderness governed by Lady Heshan possessed was comprehensive.
Whatever existed within the Black and White Kingdom was possessed by the Scarlet Wilderness, even what didn't exist there was also found in the Scarlet Wilderness.
Of course, even if they weren't found, there were always news, clues, and such.
The map that Lady Heshan held at this mont was of the eastern Holy Life Alliance.
She carefully inspected the mory Stone for a while and then said, "In this direction..." pointing directly westward.
Before Lin Ke could ask, Lady Heshan continued, "Over the years, the Shakel Tribe and the northern Dishui Spider Tribe have had over sixty conflicts, waging over a hundred large-scale wars, ultimately devastating the surrounding regions, forcing both tribes to migrate... The latest record was a hundred years ago when a [rchant] passed through the Shakel Tribe, exchanging a batch of Magical Beast furs and other goods."
The place they were in was already on the border of the Holy Life Alliance, adjacent to the Lava Swamp, remaining desolate for years with no rchants around.
To trade, one must look at the other border areas between the Black and White Kingdom and the Holy Life Alliance where trade is developed.
This direction was deserted, rarely attracting [rchants] willing to travel so far.
Lin Ke and the others could only rely on fate, following the previous map.
The Holy Life Alliance was so vast that with a slight angle shift, they might have to travel hundreds more kiloters to find a large tribe.
Of course, this ti besides abducting... ahem, besides persuading the forr Minotaur Chiefs to join the Great Wilderness, the more important task was the ore veins.
Ores!
The Black and White Kingdom had too few ores!
Where were ores abundant?
The Holy Life Alliance!
The various intelligent species here consud ore veins the least because most of the species here maintained that they shouldn't abandon tradition and beco profit-driven like humans.
Thus, almost all tribes had a mutual understanding to limit the sale of ore veins, keeping most mbers as warriors rather than miners.
This led to the Holy Life Alliance having vast ore veins, both discovered and undiscovered.
"Then let's set off, find the Minotaur Chief, and have him introduce the owners of those ore veins," Lin Ke briefly outlined the plan, then took out his "physical" bicycle from his Space Ring.
Lady Heshan and Knicks also took out their customized bicycles.
The three of them rode their bikes, speeding towards the west.
After traveling for about three hours, Lin Ke felt like they were transitioning from civilization into the wild.
In the Black and White Kingdom, the elents were always so calm, gentle, and orderly; the sky and earth always appeared mild.
And here?
As they fully entered the Holy Life Alliance, a wild atmosphere hit them face-first.
Desolate!
Barren!
Savage!
Vast heavens and earth!
Even the molecules and elents in the air raged and roared, like massive beasts.
Lin Ke could even sense the laws becoming wilder!
So laws like "flesh tearing," "heavy tiger claw," and "earth pulsation" were clearly perceptible to Lin Ke.
"Here... is the Holy Life Alliance..." Lin Ke took a deep breath, the air mixed with the fragrance of soil, grass, and blood.
Hmm, wait!
Blood?!
Lin Ke quickly braked, scanning the surroundings with his eyes: "Sothing is happening!"
