After leaving Littlemere, Minos' party traveled for another six months, finally leaving behind the area where Strin's language was dominant.
They were stronger and better informed after their passage through Littlemere, so their losses during these months of travel were far less than in this region of Strin's people.
Still, two group members died during this time, one being the native of The Adamant Land and the other being the weakest robot in the group.
These losses came from traps in special areas the group had passed, where the robot that died had gone to save Minos and Ruth, while the alien had died in an 11th-stage bandit trap.
There were many groups of bandits in Zocarro, and Minos' party had encountered several of them on the roads of the Oqia continent. Most of the time, they had been able to defeat their opponents, most of whom were space explorers. However, in some situations, the group suffered greatly and even had their belongings stolen.
