Søren's figure quickly followed the tracks.
After about ten kilometers into the Ghost Forest, Søren's figure couldn't help but stop.
The tracks here were a lot denser, and there were many other footprints, which meant that someone had already caught up to Søren. It was very likely that they were the first to arrive near the battlefield, because there were a lot of footprints and they were very light. Most importantly, Søren found traces of fighting and struggle nearby.
"Did I get caught!?"
Søren couldn't help but frown when he thought of this, but he quickly realized that this wasn't the case.
These traces of fighting were left behind by someone else.
A strange and gloomy aura quickly approached Søren, and a huge monster quickly approached within Søren's perception range, but it didn't make any sound.
The spider webs around it were a lot denser.
Søren seemed to have thought of something, and muttered, "Mother Ghost Spider?! This thing is quite smart, it actually knew to lure the enemy to the territory of a wild boss. "
Mother Ghost Spider.
It was a very famous wild boss near Whiterun.
There had been many adventurers who had tried to level it, but in the end, they had all failed. This was because the Mother Ghost Spider's monster level was 27, and its challenge rating was close to 24. It was a huge half-undead creature that could directly trigger the immunity test with its eyes, and it could continuously cast the 'Finger of Death' spell.
The shadow that was quickly approaching Søren was the Mother Ghost Spider.
When the huge shadow fell, a huge spider with a diameter of six or seven meters with twelve legs and eight eyes appeared in front of Søren.
It seemed to be a little uneasy.
As a powerful beast, it wasn't very smart, but even if Søren didn't show the power of a god, it still felt a deep sense of threat. But even so, a little bit of divinity was very attractive to it, and it was very eager to absorb the power of divinity, so it attacked purely on instinct.
A silver-white stream of light appeared!
Søren's figure disappeared, and in the next moment, two figures of Søren appeared in front of him, one on the left and one on the right.
[Shadow] Domain!
[Death] Domain!
Søren's silhouette turned into a silver-white stream of light and slashed at the Mother Ghost Spirit Spider's body. The Mother Ghost Spirit Spider let out a painful howl. The Divine Weapon easily broke through its defense and caused great damage to it.
The entire battle did not last long.
This was because the Mother Ghost Spider's injuries were increasing at an alarming rate when it was facing the attacks of two Søren at the same time. It tried to kill Søren with its Death Trigger ability, but due to the activation of the [Death] Domain, its ability was completely suppressed. Søren could not trigger any Test of Death at all.
Søren stabbed the Divine Weapon into the back of the enemy's head with a strange silver light.
Then, a string of data appeared:
"Killed wild leader [Mother of Ghost Spirit Spider]!"
"Extracting target's soul energy! You've gained 1050000 Slaughter EXP! … "
"Target has Divinity!"
"Extracting the target's divinity! … You have gained 1 Divinity Point! … "
With the death of the Mother Ghost Spirit Spider, the participating souls were bound by the domain, and then a grey-white Soul Crystal appeared.
This was a Legendary Soul of the Undead.
There were not many valuable things on the Mother Ghost Spirit Spider. Søren only used it to cut off its eyes, and then quickly approached its cave.
Sure enough!
Søren found a lot of corpses here.
"Humans? And Drows? "
Søren saw the bones of humans and Drows that were eaten. From the shape of the bones, he could easily tell that they were of different races. There were also scattered weapons nearby. It was obvious that these pursuers had fought back when they encountered the Mother Ghost Spirit Spider. Although the Mother Ghost Spirit Spider could not last a quarter of an hour in front of Søren, it was still an Advanced Legendary Boss in the wild. It had no problem facing a team of Legends, so it was naturally very easy to kill these pursuers. The person who obtained the Scepter of Savras was very smart. He deliberately led them here to ask them for help.
"He should have something very important on him!"
Søren observed the traces in the Mother Ghost Spirit Spider's nest. Everything told him a very important point.
That was, the target had also entered the Mother Ghost Spirit Spider's territory, and had also moved around its nest. But the Mother Ghost Spirit Spider did not attack him. It seemed that it did not find any trace of this person at all.
"What's going on?"
Søren looked at these deliberately left traces and could not help but fall into deep thought. He murmured, "The Mother Ghost Spirit Spider is a half-undead creature."
"Ordinary Stealth and Invisibility spells are useless against it, not to mention it has the ability to communicate telepathically. To be able to enter the Mother Ghost Spirit Spider's nest and not be attacked, either this guy has some special ability, or he has a very powerful special item. "
Søren pondered for a moment.
Then he continued to follow the traces. The speed of this target was not fast.
It seemed that this person was a spellcaster, and in order to avoid being tracked, he did not even use Fly and Teleport spells. Fly was too easy to be exposed, and if there was no safe destination for Teleport spells, then it was also very easy to be exposed and be tracked by Deity level enemies.
This person was a veteran.
Moreover, he was a very powerful legendary veteran!
Søren continued to follow the traces left by the target, but the more he went, the more surprised his face became.
This guy was a monster!
This was because Søren had already killed the third Wild Commander Boss in order to track his traces.
The first one was the Mother Ghost Spirit Spider.
The second one was Morgan the Witherer. (Fallen Corrupted Treants.)
The third one was Furu the Rager. (Bugbear Goblin Leader.)
This guy seemed to have swaggered around the Whiterun Commander Bosses in the vicinity of Whiterun. There were traces left behind by him, but there were no signs of any Commander Bosses attacking him.
This was simply unbelievable!
Søren killed three Legendary Wild Bosses in one go, but without exception, he found that although the target he was tracking encountered these enemies, there was no battle.
"What does this guy have on him?"
"Could it be the power of the Scepter of Savras? That shouldn't be! I've never heard of the Scepter of Savras having such an ability! "
Søren fell into silence.
Even in his memory, there were not many things that could do this. The target he was tracking now undoubtedly had a very important item on him, and it might even be another powerful Divine Artifact.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain this phenomenon!
This was a very troublesome problem.
This was because if Søren did not have the [Tracking] Divinity, he would not have been able to find this target. And the strange item on him was very likely to cause some trouble for Søren.
The next morning.
Søren followed the traces and circled around Whiterun.
Finally, he locked onto the target's final destination.
The Ancient Red Dragon!
All the traces pointed to the mountain range where the Ancient Red Dragon was. Unlike the previous traces, the target here had created a false impression.
The first trace was easy to follow.
Even a Legendary-level Ranger could do it. The target was in the direction of the ruins of Silverymoon. It started from the vicinity of Whiterun and passed by a city controlled by the Church of the Goddess of Magic.
This false impression had deceived many people.
Basically, all the pursuers followed this false impression to the city controlled by the Church of the Goddess of Magic.
The second trace that was deliberately covered up pointed to the Ancient Red Dragon. This guy did not leave the vicinity of Whiterun at all. Instead, after leaving for some distance, he suddenly disappeared. When the trace reappeared, he was already in the direction of the Red Dragon Mountains.
"After getting the Scepter of Savras, he did not want to hand it over to the Church of the Goddess of Magic. Instead, he led the pursuers to the Church of the Goddess of Magic."
"Who is this guy?"
Søren followed the traces and quickly approached the Red Dragon Mountains. "Does he want to keep this Divine Artifact for himself? That's right! The Scepter of Savras sealed the body of a True God! If I can extract the power from it, it won't be difficult for a mortal to ascend to godhood! "
Ascend to godhood.
It was a temptation that a mortal could not resist.
In the end, the target brought the Scepter of Savras into the territory of the Ancient Red Dragon.
"So the most dangerous place is the safest place?"
A plain appeared in front of Søren's eyes. This was the place where he first joined the army. It was a battle against the Ogres.
After passing through here, he would enter the territory of the Ancient Red Dragon. It enslaved a large number of servants and built its own dragon nest deep in the mountains. Such a place was very dangerous. A chaotic and evil Ancient Red Dragon was not very friendly to any creature.
"The target chose to hide here."
"Either he doesn't care about the threat of the Ancient Red Dragon at all! Or he doesn't care about being discovered by the Ancient Red Dragon at all! "
"It seems the latter is more likely."
An Ancient Red Dragon was enough to threaten a God in the form of a Saint. Basically, no mortal could fight against it alone, so it was impossible that he did not care about the threat of the Ancient Red Dragon. The biggest possibility was that the target had a way to avoid the Ancient Red Dragon and could hide here without worrying about being discovered by the enemy.
If that was the case!
It was reasonable to choose the territory of the Ancient Red Dragon.
Because during the Avatar Crisis, no one would easily provoke an ancient red dragon. Even if it had amazing treasures, there was no reason for the gods to attack it.
Even if there was only a 90% chance of winning.
The Gods were not willing to take the risk to slay the Dragon and then gain some wealth that only mortals cared about.
This was the best place to hide.
As long as he was not discovered, with the Ancient Red Dragon attracting the attention of the enemy, no one would think that the person who obtained the Scepter of Savras was hiding here.
This was a very smart guy!
