"Hey! It's heading towards the gray dwarf-controlled area. This is trouble."

"Hurry, we should be in time."

A few seconds later, three senior spider women rode on large black-fanged wolf spiders, followed by a team of demon spider knights, and rushed towards the western trail with great momentum! ——Grey Fern Town is a small town controlled by the gray dwarves and the closest town to the blind murloc tribe. Fingart has been there more than ten times, which is one of the reasons why Richard brought Fingart with him.

Of course, the most important thing is that Richard is basically certain that if Fingart stays, he will most likely die at the hands of the ruthless night elves.

So, when Richard told Fingart about the situation, he let him make his own choice.

Obviously, there are only two choices for Fingart: either stay and continue to be the blind murloc prophet but face the great risk of death, or give up the identity of the blind murloc prophet and go with Richard to the gray dwarf-controlled area to start from scratch.

This choice is not difficult, after all, staying alive is the first priority!

But to be honest, Fingart still had some doubts about Richard being so cautious.

In fact, even Stephanie had some doubts in her heart and felt that the master seemed to be making a big deal out of nothing.

Along the way, Richard obviously understood the expressions of the two people. He smiled faintly in his heart, but did not say anything. Instead, he held the black box with light green patterns in his hand and tried to crack it.

Because of Dolores's powerful self-explosion, part of the protective array and key array of this black box had been destroyed.

Therefore, after a few days, after Richard has used the lowest intensity mental shocks to attack multiple times, he should be able to open the box soon.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, there was a "click!"

Like a sound from nature, it rang in Richard's ears.

"Master, it's a success!" Stephanie on the side said happily. She was also very curious about what was inside.

Richard stopped immediately and slowly opened the box.

Suddenly, a vast, long and powerful breath gushed out from the box!

Richard and Stephanie were fine, but Fingart on the side instantly felt a natural suppression from his blood. He trembled all over and almost fell to his knees.

The three of them looked closely and saw a dark red crystal in the shape of a teardrop, flickering in the center of the box, like a living thing.

"Hiss! Master, this must be the crystallization of the essence and blood of a high-level creature. This aura is too terrifying!" Fingate said, touching the fine beads of sweat on his head.

Just a drop of blood had such a great suppressive effect on him, which shows how noble and powerful the other party's bloodline is.

Stephanie also clearly felt the pressure, but much better than Fingart.

She also said solemnly: "Master, the one who can suppress the blood of a high-level spider woman must be a higher-level creature. However, in the Underdark, there are only a handful of such top-level creatures. And judging from the aura, I seem to sense the aura of a giant dragon."

Richard nodded. A single drop of blood could have such power. It was conceivable how terrifying this creature was. It was probably more terrifying than a second-level wizard.

"Are you sure it's a giant dragon? And not the blood essence of some sub-dragon or half-dragon?" Richard thought for a moment and asked.

"It's definitely not the essence of a sub-dragon. If it were just a sub-dragon, there wouldn't be such a strong sense of oppression. And I seem to smell the scent of sulfur and fire. I guess this should be the essence of a fire dragon or even a black dragon." Stephanie said after thinking about it.

After listening to what Stephanie said, Richard nodded, although he couldn't figure out for a moment where Dolores got this drop of blood.

But obviously, such things are very important to the night elves, so it was hard to say before, but now Richard can basically be sure that the night elves will definitely track their tracks and follow them.

Moreover, this speed should be very fast.

Richard thought for a moment and said, "Fingart, where is the other isolation box I asked you to bring?"

"Master, here!"

After taking the Isolation Box, Richard did not grab it with his hands. Instead, he deftly performed the zero-level witchcraft Shadow Grasp, shrinking the big hand condensed by the dark elements into a normal-sized palm, and put the dragon's blood emitting a surging breath into the Isolation Box.

As the isolation box closed, the breath disappeared instantly, which made Fingate stand up straight and breathed a sigh of relief. The blood suppression just now felt too uncomfortable.

Although the two were curious about why Richard changed the box to hold the dragon's blood, Richard, as the owner, did not explain, so they did not dare to ask.

"Keep on going!" Richard said in a deep voice.

But now Stephanie and Fingart have begun to trust Richard's judgment.

Because in addition to a magical weapon, unexpectedly, a drop of dragon blood also fell into the hands of the owner. In this case, the night elves will definitely not give up.

The preciousness of dragon's blood is self-evident.

The three of them galloped westward along a trail several people wide through the gray fern wilderness.

Even the weakest one, Fingart, has the level of a third-level wizard apprentice, so his speed is extremely fast, not much slower than that of an ordinary horse.

At this moment, Richard, who was moving forward quickly, was concentrating on thinking about one problem.

Although there is no sign of the night elves yet, there is an old saying in the past that those who do not plan for the future will have immediate worries.

So, Richard was thinking, if he was on the side of the night elves, and after arriving at the blind murloc camp, he found that the target had left, what means would he use to continue tracking?

The most likely method would be to locate directly through the black mirror or dragon's blood.

However, Richard was confident in the isolation box he made. Not only was a large amount of lead mixed in the material of the box, which gave it extremely strong isolation capabilities, he also engraved several shielding magic arrays on the surface and inside of the box.

Therefore, the possibility of the other party directly locating the Black Mirror and the Dragon's Blood is very small.

As far as he was concerned, the other party only had two more likely methods left. One was bloodline tracking, tracking the scent of the Spider Woman's bloodline in Stephanie's body, and the second was tracking the scent of Fingart.

As for using prophetic witchcraft for tracking, the possibility is not very high. Generally speaking, prophetic witchcraft can only determine the approximate direction. For specific searches, it is much more practical to use witchcraft such as the spiritual nose.

After thinking about this, Richard had basically made up his mind.

After the three of them continued walking westward for about an hour, they saw a trade caravan heading to Grey Fern Town in the distance.

Richard had sharp eyesight and could see from afar that the trade convoy, which looked like a winding snake, was guarded on both sides by green lobster men holding various weapons. They had long antennae and hard shells and looked quite fierce.

Carrying the cargo were three gigantic lizards, over ten meters long.

Judging from the aura of these lizards, their size is similar to the iron-jawed lizards and petrified lizards that Richard had killed before.

But there are big differences in appearance, especially the single horn on the forehead, which makes the shape of this lizard look a bit like the hybrid of a rhinoceros and a Komodo dragon that Richard had seen in his previous life.

"It seems to be a trade caravan from the Green-Shelled Lobster Tribe." Fingate, who was standing by, took a closer look and identified the other party's origins.

Richard nodded. He knew the green-shelled lobster people. Starting from the blind fishman tribe camp and walking west along the Dark Water Lake for dozens of miles, he would find the green-shelled lobster people's camp.

In terms of strength, the Green-shelled Lobster People are slightly stronger than the Blind Murloc Tribe, but they are also on par with each other.

"That should be a one-horned lizard, right?" Stephanna looked curiously at the lizard carrying a mountain of cargo. She remembered that she had seen a few of them in the blind fishman tribe.

"Yes, it is indeed a one-horned lizard. This kind of lizard has a strong load-bearing capacity and thick scales. It has thick skin and flesh, and it is omnivorous, so it is easy to raise."

Richard smiled and said, "It just so happens that I have an idea that I can verify. According to the speed of the night elves, they will be able to track us here within a few hours."

"Fingat, give me a piece of your scale."

"Yes, Master!"

Fingate immediately pulled out a piece of fish scale from his body. Although the scales on many parts of his body had degenerated and the scales on some parts had become abnormally fine and dense, there were still a small number of large scales on his chest.

He took out a piece of shiny light green fish scale the size of a baby's palm from his chest and handed it to Richard.

Then, Richard asked Stephanie to pull out a strand of hair from her head.

Under the surprised gazes of the two, Richard put on the low-level magic weapon-covering cloak, and immediately covered Stephanie and Fingart. In an instant, the three of them disappeared from the spot without even a trace of breath leaking out.

不但可以隐藏使用者及身边五米范围内所有队友的身形和气息，而且对于巫术所造成的能量波动，遮蔽斗篷也能掩盖相当一大部分，可以说偷袭、埋伏绝佳之物。

只见李察带着二人迅速跟上绿壳龙虾人的贸易车队，并在两人的注视下将芬加特的鱼鳞，塞入了第一只独角蜥蜴负重的货物内。

并将斯蒂芬娜的发丝，放置在了第二只独角蜥蜴的货物中。

最后，李察则是将原本用来放置巨龙之血的表面有淡绿色花纹黑盒，塞入了第三只独角蜥蜴身上。

斯蒂芬娜和芬加特两人对望了一眼，颇为疑惑。

接下来，李察又带着两人，在遮蔽斗篷的掩盖下，在一旁的草丛里，和车队平行前进。

虽然低级巫器遮蔽斗篷施展时，需要持续输入精神力，但三级巫师学徒都能持续使用两三小时，对于已经晋升正式巫师的李察来讲，即便持续使用半天，也不会有太大负担。

等了许久，也不见小径后方有什么动静，这让斯蒂芬娜和芬加特不由得在心里暗笑，看来这一次主人失算了，暗夜精灵并没有追来，或者说对方并没有这么快就追踪到他们。

主人实在太过多疑了！ 不过，令两人没想到的是，大约一小时之后，小径后方突然传来一阵尘土飞扬，同时，地面传来一来一股细微的震动。

数秒后，三名骑着大型黑牙狼蛛的蛛女出现在眼前，同时，她们身后还有一队颇为精锐的魔蛛骑士！

“嘶！三名蛛女！”芬加特不由得在心里大声疾呼！

斯蒂芬娜一双美眸也水汪汪地看着李察，心中大为钦佩李察的判断。

三人旋即待在原地不动，在低级巫器遮蔽斗篷的隐藏下，观察着事态发展。 —— 小径前方的绿壳龙虾人贸易队伍，显然也发现了后方气势汹汹冲来的队伍。

如此狭窄的小径，对方冲过来的速度，又如此之快，完全无法避让。

傻子都知道，对方前来肯定不怀好意。

“（龙虾语）准备战斗！”一名有着白色山羊胡的龙虾人长者高喊道。

数秒钟之内，二十余名绿壳龙虾人就将三头独角蜥蜴护卫住，形成一个椭圆形的防御阵式。

不过等敌人靠近之后，龙虾人长者却是面色大变！ 脱口而出道：“高级蛛女！！”

等三名美艳的蛛女骑着大型黑牙狼蛛来到龙虾人队伍前方后，高级蛛女的威压吓得龙虾人们纷纷面色大变，不少人甚至直接趴在了地上。

显然，三名蛛女面对龙虾人贸易车队的慌乱，一阵鄙夷，不过，几人仔细审视了一番之后，却是露出颇为疑惑的表情。

后面的十余名魔蛛骑士，则是将二十余人的绿壳龙虾人反包围了起来，这个动作，让龙虾人长者也不禁面色煞白，心底暗忖道，这这是要消灭我们吗？

龙虾人长者当即上前两步，深深地弯下腰，恭敬地说道：“尊贵的蛛女殿下，不知道您们有什么事情，是需要卑微的仆人们做的。”

对方恭敬的态度，明显让三名蛛女面色一缓，当即，三人都跳下了大型黑牙狼蛛，走上前来。

只见那名叫葛蕾丝的高级蛛女说道：“你们是绿壳龙虾人部落吧？根据主母大人的命令，我们在追捕逃犯，需要搜查下你们的车队。”

“逃犯？”龙虾人长者听得顿时一愣，但当即就反应过来，连声说道：“当然可以，高贵的蛛女殿下，请随意搜索。我们绝对没有私藏逃犯！”

另一名蛛女弗莉蒂则是眼神凌厉地看着龙虾人长者说道：“哼，私藏逃犯的后果，我想你肯定比我清楚，而且到底有没有私藏，你说了不算。”

“是！是！”龙虾人长者唯唯诺诺地说道。

只见弗莉蒂快速施展了一个手势，随着一声短促的咒语之后，她的鼻翼微动，嗅了嗅，指着第二只独角蜥蜴背上小山般的货物道：“卸下来！”

当即，龙虾人长者转头高喊道：“将货物都卸下来，让殿下们搜查。”

不过此时，一直在一旁默不作声蛛女依蕾奈开口说道： “沙德拉如此高傲的性格，不可能躲避在龙虾人这些腥臭熏天的货物里。” —— 一旁七八十米远的草丛中。

遮蔽斗篷之下。

“第二只独角蜥蜴，看来对方是一路追着芬加特来的。”李察心中暗忖道。

“也是，芬加特在部落里生活这么多年，要找到其身体某样组织，非常容易，追踪起来就十分方便了。”

“不过，现在尚不能排除对方有能力追踪斯蒂芬娜的蛛女血脉。”

斯蒂芬娜和芬加特两人，此时显然也明白了李察之前的用意。

对望了一眼，两人都从对方的眼神中，看出了惊骇，没想到真如主人李察所说，暗夜精灵很快就会派人追上来。

而且，没想到对方居然这么大手笔，一次性就来了三名高级蛛女，这要是在之前毫无防备的状态下被追上。

应该除了主人之外，他们两人只怕都要陨落在这里。

幸好，主人有先见之明！

两人对于一旁默默沉思的主人李察，不由得升腾起一股发自内心的赞美和钦佩。

特别是芬加特，此时两腿发软，原来三名蛛女是追踪着他的踪迹而来。

这要是自己选择留下来，在部落里继续当先知的话，大概率会死得很惨！

此刻，对于自己的主人李察，芬加特可以说是佩服得五体投地。

原先，他仅仅佩服主人实力强大进步极快，亦或是佩服精通药剂，能配制出各种难度极高的药剂，但这次，他对李察料敌先知的能力，是打心眼里佩服。

因为在这个世界上，实力强大者绝对不少，但如主人这般，年纪轻轻就能准确预料到敌人心思的，真的太少了。 —— 随着一群魔蛛骑士的仔细搜索，一无所获，不要说人，连影子都没有！ 弗莉蒂亲自上阵，鼻翼不停轻微扇动，如同一只猎犬，这让旁边的绿壳龙虾人战士们也看得颇为诧异，不知道为什么高贵的蛛女要做出如此. 像狗，不，是不雅的动作。

最终，弗莉蒂从两件货物中间找出了一块婴儿拳头大小的鱼鳞。

反复确认之后，弗莉蒂肯定，这就是气味的源头！ “可恶啊，居然是仅仅是一片鱼鳞！”弗莉蒂气得面色发青，道。

“葛蕾丝姐姐，我们都被对方耍了！”

这让三名高级蛛女中地位最高的葛蕾丝，此时娇艳的脸庞也涨得通红，羞愤不已。

毕竟，是她提出来追踪那个名叫芬加特的鱼人先知。

之前她还颇为自信地说对方算漏了一点，就是那个名叫芬加特的鱼人先知的漏洞，但现在看来，这哪是什么漏洞，这是对方刻意留下的误导。

她们三个还兴高采烈地追了上去。

现在看来，对方早就料到了这一点。

勉强压下心中要吐血的心情，葛蕾丝大脑飞速转动着，为了黑龙源血和梦魇之镜，自己三人必须得找到对方，完成主母的任务。

要不然的话，等待自己三人的. 似乎是想到了什么恐怖的画面，葛蕾丝一阵颤栗。

“葛蕾丝姐姐，现在该怎么办？”

“对了，这群卑贱的奴仆，居然敢偷偷地和灰矮人一方交易，葛蕾丝姐姐，让我把它们都杀了吧？”名为弗莉蒂的蛛女伸出粉嫩的舌头，舔了舔娇艳红唇道。

显然，弗莉蒂是想把气撒在龙虾人身上。

“弗莉蒂，算了，这种事情在边界地带很常见，而且绿壳龙虾人在随同我们攻入地表时，也出力不少。”葛蕾丝缓缓说道。

“哼！算它们走运！” —— 而李察此时，则是在揣摩一件事，原本他仅仅只有不到五成把握，暗夜精灵一方可能会派人过来。

After all, the three major undead wizard academies are currently putting a lot of pressure on the night elves. The fact that the other side sent out three high-level spider women at this time is quite intriguing.

It seems that the mirror or the drop of dragon blood has an unusual meaning to the night elves.

It seems that my plan can be changed.
