Three days later, Thirteen and his Hunting Party left Gronar City to travel to the Warsor Plains.
Their lineup caught the attention of many people since the number of individuals in the party was equivalent to a mid-sized Hunting Party.
All in all, seven wagons departed the city.
While this wasn't something that others had seen before, it was the composition of the parties that caught everyone's attention.
Thirteen, Cristopher, Giga Chad, and the chubby boy's two Tigerkin slaves, Jasmine and Ariel, were riding in the first wagon.
Percival and the five other Tigerkins, whom Thirteen had named P1 up to P5, rode the second Wagon.
T1, who was the leader of the Trolls, was riding in the third wagon, alongside T2, and T3.
As for T4, T5, T6, and T7, they were in the fourth wagon.
T8, on the other hand, was driving the fifth wagon, accompanying the two Ogres, O1 and O2.
T9 and T10 were driving the sixth and seventh wagons, which would serve as the storage wagons for the things that they would manage to acquire on their hunt.
However, a few minutes after they left the city, Thirteen saw a black wagon approaching their group from behind.
Without wasting a second, he gave a special signal to his subordinates, telling them to get ready to attack if the approaching wagon had bad intentions.
But when he saw the Drow, Adira, waving at him from inside the wagon, a frown appeared on his face.
"What's wrong, Lady Adira?" Thirteen asked when the black wagon had decreased its speed to move side by side with the wagon he was in. "Do you have business outside of the city?"
"Yes," Adira replied. "It's a personal business, and I happen to be going in the same direction as you. Since that is the case, we might as well travel together. Don't worry. I don't intend to get in the way of your hunt in the Warsor Plains."
"Understood, Lady Adira," Thirteen nodded. "Let's travel together for the time being."
"Good. You made the right decision, Zion."
"Mmm."
Thirteen had a feeling that the Drow was just making an excuse.
But he also wanted to know her true intentions, so he decided to just accept her proposal to travel together.
Adira was a Champion and a powerful one at that.
If she really wished to cause trouble for Thirteen and his people, they would have a very hard time fighting against her even if they had the advantage in numbers.
Since the Drow had never shown any signs of malice or hostility toward him, Thirteen believed that she was traveling with them for a reason.
An hour later, they encountered a horde of Robust Bison.
The one leading the herd was a Rank 4 Black Alpha Bison, and its gaze was locked onto the wagons traveling near their herd, ready to attack if it saw any signs of hostility from them.
Thirteen had no intention of attacking the Bison, so he asked Cristopher, who was driving the wagon, to distance themselves from the Herd.
Their destination was the Northwestern Region of the Warsor Plains, where the Monsters he was targeting were located.
These monsters were the Warsor Black Hounds, Obsidian Tiger Beetles, and the Red-Eyed Salamander, which were all Rank 3 Monsters.
Thirteen planned to hunt the Hounds because of their long hairs, which he could use for the bowstring of his bow.
Aside from that, their fur was highly sought after by craftsmen and tailors since they could be used to create high-quality clothes and studded armor that were very comfortable to wear.
These Monsters were fast and very cunning.
Although their offensive power wasn't that high, their speed and cunning made them very formidable opponents.
What was worse was that these Monsters wouldn't hesitate to flee if they felt that they were outmatched or suffered any kind of serious injury.
This made them much harder to catch and kill, resulting in their Monster parts being one of the most expensive items in the Barbarian Cities.
The second Monster was the Obsidian Tiger Beetles.
If the Warsor Black Hounds specialized in speed, these beetles specialized in defense.
Their shells were extremely hard, making them ideal materials for making plate armor and shields.
However, Thirteen didn't have a fire strong enough to melt the Shell of the Obsidian Tiger Beetle, which was why he intended to at least hunt one Red-Eyed Salamander.
He planned to capture it and bring this back to Gronar City, allowing the Slave Master, Norris, to turn it into one of Thirteen's Beast Slaves.
There were other monsters that he would like to hunt, but Vassago had warned him that the war could start in a month's time.
Although the possibility of a great battle was still a month away, that didn't mean that the Tigerkins would wait until that time to send out scouting parties, which were likely capable of killing the Hunting Parties that they met in the Warsor Plains.
Wanting to lower the risk of encountering these Scouting Teams, Thirteen decided to head to the Northwest Regions of the Warsor Plains, which was a distance away from the borders of the Barbarian Territories.
However, this was also a risky move because the location where they were heading was near the Domain of the Golden-
Eyed Hyenas.
These monsters were Jinns who loved to eat Human flesh.
Jinns were stronger than ordinary Monsters, making them a very serious threat to his Hunting Party.
However, Thirteen wasn't too worried.
He had armed everyone to the teeth, and all of their arrows were coated in the poison of the Yellow Striped Dusk Brute.
Aside from that, he also had two quivers filled with arrows, which were coated by the Venom of the Desert Scorpion that had very strong paralyzing properties.
Thirteen planned to use these arrows against the Warsor Black Hounds and the Red-Eyed Salamander in order to increase their chances of capturing them.
Last but not the least, he had a quiver full of Orihalcon Arrows that were coated by Tiona's venom.
This was his Trump Card for a situation where they happened to face a very strong Monster that they couldn't hope to defeat even if they all worked together.
The poison of the Domini Mortis was more potent than the Yellow Striped Dusk Brute.
It might not instantly kill stronger Monsters, but its venom would still spread inside their bodies, weakening them from the inside out.
The poison that had troubled Lady Callista for many years had a property similar to Tiona's Venom.
The only difference was that the venom of the Domini Mortis was stronger, making the Rank of its target deteriorate faster.
Simply put, if it had been Tiona who had bitten Lady Callista, she would have died before a year was over unless she was able to take an antidote specially made to counter the Black Snake's poison, which currently didn't exist in the world of Solterra.
It was also for this very reason that Jasmine and Ariel both had pale expressions on their faces, as they looked at the seven-
year-old, who had just given Tiona the order to bite his left shoulder.
