As multiple mountains surrounded the Beginner Area, they also left a few gorges connecting it to the outside world. While most of these gorges were already controlled by various forces, Zhou Tian could still consider them good choices if he wanted to expand his territory.
The rulers of these gorges were also not simple foes. In fact, the newcomer forces were weak in comparison. While the monsters inside the beginner's area could somewhat compare to one another, compared to the outside world, the monsters in the newbie zone were merely second-rate beings.
The entire area was devoid of mid-tier monsters, with the presence belonging mostly to lower ranks. This phenomenon was unique to the Beginner Area. In such conditions, Zhou Tian would not have been qualified to expand outward had it not been for his unification of the newbie zone and his Beastmen's upgrade from low-tier to mid-tier monsters.
