Kusaa City was located to the northeast of Uruk. It could not be considered close, yet it was not particularly far away either.
Just as Siduri had said, the land in the northeastern direction could basically be considered Ishtar's territory. Although it bordered the Beast Goddess's sphere of influence, the two sides had not generated any conflicts.
Or rather, large-scale conflicts didn't exist, which was how it should be.

Perhaps precisely because of this, the number of demonic beasts in the northeastern direction was not particularly large, at least much better than the northern situation where demonic beasts were everywhere.
On the way to Kusaa, Luo Zhen and Mashu even saw several ranches, proving that the threat from demonic beasts shouldn't be very large.

Therefore, even if it would waste a little time, this time, Luo Zhen and Mashu did not choose to detour around the demonic beasts to hurry on their way, but instead directly launched an
