Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom - Chapter 254

Chapter 254: Chapter254:Enter The Snow Fox Territory
“Collaboration?”

Andrew’s words surprised Enzo immensely. Although the Crimson Star Tribe was currently thriving and had become a well-known major tribe in the Barren Peninsula, it was still insignificant compared to an established force like the Snow Fox Territory.

It was no exaggeration to say that, in front of the Snow Fox Territory, the Crimson Star Tribe was merely an ant commonly found in the jungle.

The strength of the two sides was completely unequal.

But now, Andrew had taken the initiative to propose collaboration.

This was good news for the Crimson Star Tribe, yet Enzo did not agree hastily. Instead, he questioned Andrew, “What’s the reason for the collaboration?”

Andrew sighed and said, “The reason can only be revealed once we arrive at Snow Fox Territory.”

Enzo smiled and asked, “So, I have to make a trip to Snow Fox Territory?”

Andrew sighed again and sincerely said, “Mr. Enzo, please believe me, my request for collaboration is not malicious. As for the reason, it involves some secrets of Snow Fox Territory, and I can only disclose it with the First Leader’s permission.”

Enzo glanced at Andrew and did not press further.

Andrew felt a twinge of regret. Just as he was about to lose hope and turn to leave, he suddenly heard Enzo ask, “When do we depart?”

“You agreed?”

Andrew was overjoyed, and Enzo’s silence clearly indicated his consent.

…

Two days later.

Enzo, Andrew, and their group appeared at the outskirts of the Snow Fox Territory.

“Continue inward, and you’ll reach the true Snow Fox Territory.”

“There are many rituals arranged here that can seal spatial elemental energy, monitor those who enter, and patrol the area.” Andrew explained.

Enzo curiously surveyed his surroundings. All around him were endless snow-capped mountains, creating a vast expanse of white. He didn’t see any patrolling members, but through his mental perception, he could indeed sense signs of life.

Before long, under Andrew’s guidance, Enzo stepped into the core area of Snow Fox Territory.

Andrew personally arranged accommodations for Enzo and then said, “Mr. Enzo, please rest here for a moment while I notify the First Leader.”

Enzo nodded.

The residence Andrew arranged for him was located halfway up a small peak, offering an open view that allowed him to see most of the core area of Snow Fox Territory. There weren’t many other houses nearby, indicating that this place was reserved for those of high status.

However, before Enzo could rest for long, someone approached him.

“Are you Enzo?”

The newcomer had a proud look, wearing an orange-red robe and sporting a fluffy tail behind him.

Enzo looked over.

Behind this person, he saw the few fox people who had originally accompanied Andrew, and he immediately understood the situation.

He asked, “What, looking for revenge?”

These individuals had been taught a lesson by him back in the Crimson Star Tribe and had been harboring resentment, but under Andrew’s pressure, they didn’t dare show it in front of him.

“Enzo, this is Snow Fox Territory!”

The group of fox people shouted loudly, seemingly emboldened by this display. They stood behind the fox man who had approached Enzo and declared, “This is Morty from Snow Fox Territory, a follower of Princess Amy and the most outstanding talent among the younger generation of Snow Fox Territory.”

Hearing the praise from his kin, Morty lifted his head.

He grew even more arrogant as he looked at Enzo and scoffed, “Kid, no matter what Commander Andrew invited you to Snow Fox Territory for, you have two choices before you now. Either accept my challenge and get knocked to the ground, or you kneel before me, apologize to these few, and make it satisfying for me.”

After hearing this, Enzo’s expression turned extremely cold.

Morty’s words attracted quite a few fox people from Snow Fox Territory, who gathered around. Especially upon learning about Enzo’s close relationship with Amy, many of them looked on with hostility, collectively supporting Morty.

Morty’s confidence swelled.

With narrowed eyes, he walked towards Enzo and said, “Kid, since you’re not speaking, it seems you want to be knocked down!”

In the next moment, Morty’s figure was sent flying.

The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned, not understanding what had just happened.

At this time, Enzo walked towards Morty.

“Get lost!”

Enzo said.

Morty lay on the ground, feeling intense pain in his chest, his eyes filled with terror. While the others were unclear about the situation, he, as the person involved, understood very well that Enzo’s speed was too fast—so fast it was difficult to see.

This guy is definitely not an ordinary person!

Morty shot a glare at the few who had informed him about Enzo and then struggled to stand up, unwilling to admit defeat. “Kid, just because you defeated me doesn’t mean you can act so arrogantly in Snow Fox Territory!”

Enzo ignored him.

He disregarded Morty and the others, turning to head towards the house Andrew had prepared for him.

At that moment, murmurs arose from the crowd that had gathered.

“It’s the First Leader!”

“First Leader, you’re here!”

The assembled fox people excitedly called out, making way for the arriving First Leader Gideon and Andrew.

“What happened?”

Andrew’s face darkened as he questioned the others.

He had a bad feeling about this.

After inquiring, and learning what had transpired, Andrew’s expression turned completely grim as he shouted at Morty, “Morty, who allowed you to treat the most esteemed guest of Snow Fox Territory like this?!”

Morty lowered his head, not daring to refute.

First Leader Gideon waved his hand, signaling Andrew to stop scolding. His gaze fell on Enzo, observing him for a long while before finally speaking, “Andrew has told me some things about you, and I’ve heard some from Amy as well. However, after meeting you in person, I find you to be quite different from what I expected.”

“What’s different?”

Enzo countered, also assessing Gideon.

The First Leader of the fox people appeared to be in good spirits. Despite the many wrinkles on his face, he didn’t give off an air of aging but rather seemed learned and wise.

Moreover, Gideon’s aura was very subtle.

But it was a subtlety that could be concealed. His true strength was likely quite formidable, which made Enzo’s expression grow more serious.

Gideon chuckled and replied, “You are more outstanding than they said.”

Undoubtedly, this was a compliment.

However, to the other members of Snow Fox Territory, this was a tremendous honor. As one aged and their lifespan shortened, First Leader Gideon had not handled many affairs of Snow Fox Territory for quite some time, nor had he met many visitors.

The last time was when Amy came.

Even though Princess Amy displayed extraordinary talent, she only received decent praise.

But now, the First Leader held this kid in extreme regard.

The gazes of the crowd involuntarily shifted.

Enzo was somewhat puzzled by Gideon’s words. On the way here, he and Andrew had nearly finalized discussions about forming an alliance between Snow Fox Territory and the Crimson Star Tribe, as well as establishing a spatial passage to connect the two regions.

Yet now, it seemed this First Leader had new intentions.

While Enzo was still in confusion, Gideon suddenly said, “Mr. Enzo, I wonder if you would be willing to fight me?”

Enzo furrowed his brows.

He countered, “Leader Gideon, are you serious?”

Gideon nodded and said, “It’s just a friendly spar, not a real battle. I wonder if Mr. Enzo can agree to this small request?”

After thinking it over, Enzo agreed.

Gideon laughed heartily, and with a flick of his fingers in the air, a glowing light appeared atop the snow peak, forming an illusory plaza at the summit.

Gideon invited, “Please, go ahead.”

With that, Gideon jumped several times and leaped directly to the top of the illusory plaza.

Enzo used his Flame Wings to fly up.

As for the others, they looked on in disbelief, surprised to say, “The First Leader is actually going to fight this kid?”

Andrew was equally puzzled.

He had a vague suspicion that Gideon had discovered something, which was why he made this request.

Thinking this, he also flew up to the illusory plaza.

On the plaza, Gideon and Enzo stood on opposite sides, eyeing each other.

Then, Gideon spoke.

He said, “In my long life, you are the most outstanding young person I have ever seen. Moreover, I can finally confirm that the mutated royal bloodline within Amy is because of you.”

“What?!”

Andrew exclaimed in shock.

Gideon glanced at Andrew and continued, “Amy’s bloodline is just an ordinary one. I confirmed this when she entered Snow Fox Territory. However, later, Amy awakened a mutated royal bloodline, and at that time, I sensed a certain special power.”

“That power comes from Enzo.”

“And I’m quite sure that this power also affects other royal bloodlines.”

Upon hearing this, Andrew became extremely excited.

He understood the implication of Gideon’s words, which meant Enzo would have the ability to enhance the purity of other clan members’ bloodlines—this was simply unbelievable.

First Leader Gideon had no reason to lie.

Realizing this, Andrew’s gaze turned fervent.

Enzo, on the other hand, was increasingly puzzled by Gideon’s actions and asked, “Are you telling me this because you want me to help enhance the bloodlines of other fox people?”

Gideon shook his head and said, “No.”

He smiled and added, “I just wanted to use this to tell you one thing: you are very special. As for the reason for this, you will naturally understand in battle.”

“Then let’s get started.” Enzo said.
