On seeing the progress of the Scent Tracking skill that was exclusive to Christensen, Legolas drooled as he imagined its amazing effects.
Since the day that Christensen unlocked this skill, to increase his unlock progress rate, he encouraged Christensen to use them frequently.
This way, he was able to learn the full extents of his 3 abilities. With the 3 abilities, Legolas made a bold claim, Christensen was the best tracker alive.
Literally nothing could escape his student's senses.
Due to the much more frequent use of the Detective talent and the Scent Tracking ability, their progress was much faster than the Auditory Tracking ability.
Legolas could not wait to finally get his hands on one of them.
After paying their respects to Altan's family, Legolas also paid his respects to the Tribe head of the Audun tribe before making his way outside with Christensen.
He turned to face his student. "What's the next step?"
"I am yet to detect their tracks but through the blood token, I already have a whiff of his scent that can lead us to him".
"The blood token works in a way where it shows us the accurate tracks across the desert which they left in, following that path will probably be the longest route to catch up with them".
"To take the fastest route, we need Brutus".
"His nose is far more sensitive than mine".
"Do everything you need, you're the expert". Legolas gave his consent.
Christensen no longer wasted time as he activated the Beast Plane Summoning active ability to summon Brutus from the beast plane.
The Shadow Hound arrived with a frown and a bruise on his face.
He looked indifferently at his master.
"…"
Christensen was stunned. "Ehm…, what happened?"
"I fought with the Fox".
"…" Legolas died from laughter internally.
"Cough…" He coughed as he tried his best to prevent himself from erupting into laughter.
Christensen was confused. "Why will you fight with Lucky?"
"Christensen, there's no time".
"Oh right, Brutus, we need your help to track someone".
The Shadow Hound looked at him in disdain. "I thought you were always so proud of your tracking abilities, I never thought you'll need my help one day".
"Just stop whining and help me".
"Find the fastest route for us and take us through it".
The Shadow Hound snorted before walking closer to the blood token. As soon as it sniffed it, without saying a word, it turned and started running away.
"…" Christensen was exasperated. "Won't you even say something?"
He complained but he also ran after his master who on top Predator was already sprinting after the Shadow Hound.
Just 5 minutes later, Christensen discovered their tracks with his own ability.
"They passed here".
"Roar!"
"What do you mean you're enjoying the battle? Let's run".
"Roar?!"
"F*ck!" Legolas was exasperated as his brain worked fast to think of an alternative. "There are even stronger opponents for you to fight where we're going, do you want Leo to enjoy all the battles?"
As soon as he heard Leo enjoying all the battles, Predator finally broke free from the injured Wild Coyotes as he charged towards his master.
Legolas sighed and mounted his beast as they escaped deeper into the desert. A few hours later, they encountered another beast pack.
Predator ran the show again as he succeeded in killing 2 of the Desert Snakes that attacked them, buying enough time for the others to escape.
After more than 5 hours, they arrived before a massive ruin.
"We're close but he's inside". Christensen said.
Legolas's eyes narrowed. "This is the Ancient Titan ruin".
Though he felt that he was not prepared yet, to preserve the dignity of the Hermit, Legolas led Christensen into this cursed land.
