A wide avenue outside the oak forest.

Along the way, you can see some simple thatched huts, and some plants with obvious magical powers planted nearby. These were druids who lived in seclusion in the neighborhood, and many of the druids who traveled to the East chose to live in this oak forest for a while. Through god-level perception, Sauron could sense that there was a faint aura looming over this place, and at least one high-level legendary-level shepherd was settled here. But he must have been hidden in the depths of the oak forest, and a vibrant power came from underground.

The figure of an eagle emerges.

The eagle circled in the sky and landed, transforming into an elven druid dressed in animal skins in the blink of an eye.

Not far away, a vigorous figure leaped out of the woods, and then a series of figures appeared one after another, and their toes jumped out more than ten meters away with a slight tap between the tree trunks. This is the light body skill of the warrior monk, which is similar to the legendary warrior monk who can tread water when I first met. The warrior monks escorted one of them to the house, and when they spotted Sauron passing by, they couldn't help but stare at him, and after looking up and down to make sure that he was just a passing professional, they carefully escorted the person behind them into the druid's house.

In the middle of the warrior monk was a young boy who was holding a pale golden box in his arms, and his expression seemed a little nervous.

The box is pale gold.

It is a wooden box, and the outside is not painted, and pale gold is the original color of the wood used to make the box.

Sauron frowned slightly at this and muttered, "Golden oak? ”

The golden wood of this world is very unusual, most of it is tainted with a hint of divinity, and the golden oak tree is a holy object for the druids, and it is also a tree that contains great power.

These warrior monks have insignia on their bodies that resemble leaves, and they are practitioners of the 'Nature Sect'.

The origins of the natural sect are difficult to trace. However, this school of warrior monks is very influential in the eastern countries, and it is rumored that they were originally the warrior monks of the Church of the Father of Oaks.

Many Shrine Churches train warrior monks within themselves, as warrior monks accept some important tasks from other professions and the world.

They have a natural resilience and are suited to deliver some heavy tasks that take a long time.

The contents of the box made of golden oak trees were certainly not ordinary, but Sauron was not quick to spy, he had only traveled to the East for a visit. It's better not to get involved in some rights and wrongs.

It was about a few minutes later.

Three tall elven druids stepped out, different from the druids who had turned into eagles in the sky in the first place. These druids are all dressed in leaves and have very strong hair, which looks like the roots of a tree. They glanced at Sauron and frowned slightly, and then walked into the druid's room.

This is the shepherd.

The special advanced druids can control all the plants of nature, and in the home space of the forest, no class of the same level can defeat them.

Shepherds are born with their own [plant] domain.

………………

"With so many druids and warrior monks gathered, it looks like something is wrong."

Sauron thought in his head. However, he continued to make his way forward, and according to the information he had gathered, the last place where the artifact news appeared was in a valley in front of him.

There, a scuffle broke out, and the person who captured the artifact was nowhere to be found.

Passing through the thick oak forest, Sauron soon approached the valley, and before he could get close to the valley, he found many traces of battle with his superb tracking skills.

This wave of artifact-snatching professionals is as high as hundreds.

But it's not surprising, this is an artifact after all, even if you can't use it. It's also an amazing fortune to sell!

The further you go, the more traces of the battle become, and gradually blood begins to appear on the ground.

The interior of the valley is not large. There was a small artificial lake in the center, and as soon as Sauron arrived here, he noticed that there were other people nearby, who seemed to be fighting or looking for clues to the artifact.

- "Track the field!" ”

Sauron found a secluded corner and activated the [Tracking] priesthood, and as his divine power was consumed, some fragmented images began to appear in front of his eyes, all of which were remnants based on the traces in the valley. The gods have the ability to go back in time, if someone has pronounced the name of the god in its heyday. The gods can use their divine power to know what happened within 24 hours before and after. The power of the Grim Reaper is even more powerful, and wherever someone dies, they can see what it looks like when they die.

I don't know if I thought it was part of the power of the [Death] realm, but Sauron found that his tracking priesthood had been strengthened.

He saw more than just the marks of the battle.

Rather, it is an afterimage of battle and death, and all traces of death are combined by the tracing priesthood. What Sauron saw before his eyes was a blurry picture of many people dying.

For example, the traces on the left, where the composition is a human with a completely sunken chest, he was hit by something with a huge force, the armor was instantly shattered, and the whole person also flew upside down and dragged out traces of up to three meters on the ground. All of the images Sauron saw were similar afterimages, all of which were combined to show someone with an artifact slaughtering all sides. The final outcome of any human being seen through Sauron's perspective is death.

The traces that can form the afterimage are all dead people.

"I can't imagine that the [Tracking] Priesthood can actually merge with the power of other realms! I really don't know much about the gods! ”

For the first time, Sauron discovered that the priesthood could still be used in this way, so it was no wonder that the other gods liked to improve their abilities in related domains.

All traces point to the other end.

The guy holding the artifact should be a legendary professional, he actually killed it surrounded by hundreds of people, rushed out of the north of the valley, and then disappeared.

But.

This is not a problem at all for Sauron, who holds the [Tracking] priesthood, because he has already locked on the traces of the target, and relying on the tracking priesthood Sauron can locate the direction of the target's escape.

It was only a matter of time before Sauron caught up with the guy who captured the artifact.

"It should be this way."

Sauron immediately set off and rushed to the north, but at this moment, the demon avatar suddenly saw some pictures, and Sauron immediately shifted his efforts to the side of the demon avatar, and then found that the fist master girl who signed a contract with his demon avatar last time was actually nearby. Her position was to the north, and at the moment she was following the actions of a group of warrior monks, and the direction was actually the location that Sauron was tracking.

It was an unreserved soul contract.

Although the girl named 'Cicada' has gained some of the abilities of the demon avatar and is therefore immune to fire damage, her body and mind have been controlled by Sauron, and she can even observe the outside world from her perspective at any time when needed. This treatment is somewhat similar to that of a god-like elect, with the only difference being that Sauron has not yet given her divine powers.
