Finding a hidden Dawn Late Stage Wizard within it was no easy task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, having a general area was better than none.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, for most people, searching such a vast area would take at least a month, even for an experienced Dawn Wizard like Elder Ivan. But for Rein, who had reached the full moon peak, it wouldn't take nearly as long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein was confident that he could find the target in as little as half a day, or at most three to five days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the opponent was hiding in such a vast and expansive mountain range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein was about to take action when he suddenly thought of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Given Graham's personality, if hidden in the mountain range, he must be waiting for an opportunity to strike!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That means he's either going to seek out areas with large crowds to conduct a blood sacrifice summon or find places with many spiders to use the spirits of the spiders for the summon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that's the case...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein's eyes lit up, and he vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein returned to the same spot, looking thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've checked all eleven County Towns on the edges of the Hammerfall Mountains without finding any trace of him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for other villages and towns, the population is too small, and there aren't enough experts for a high-quality blood sacrifice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems likely that he's in areas where fierce species of spiders are gathered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next second, his figure disappeared into the sky once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Rein arrived at a rocky valley area, an environment favored by the black fog spiders around the Hammerfall Mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unfortunately... there's no sign of human interference.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein's gaze first focused on the nests where the black fog spiders were coming and going, and then he observed a black fog spider the size of his fist for a moment before shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, although there are many black fog spiders, their strength is too weak. They are almost the weakest of the fierce species.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I were Graham, I probably wouldn't choose black fog spiders either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, Rein was above a dense forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath this forest was a large swamp inhabited by groups of swamp poison spiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No signs of artificial alteration here either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein picked up a basin-sized, trembling swamp poison spider, sighed, and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Rein visited more than ten other areas inhabited by different types of spiders but found no trace of Graham.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing in the giant web spider nest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing in the black widow spider nest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing in the wild thorn spider nest either!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Rein furrow his brow, starting to doubt his own judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that Graham really found a place to bury himself and hide?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that's the case, there's really nothing I can do about him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Based on his previous activities on the Shirendil Plateau, he's not the type to hide away without any plans. I must have overlooked something!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking it over repeatedly, Rein felt his line of thinking was correct. The opponent must be scheming something; the hiding place just hadn't been discovered yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be inside the Hammerfall Tunnel?\" Rein pondered and muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even though there are many caravans there, if multiple caravans went missing, the Empire's garrison couldn't possibly have no reports.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But still...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking it over, Rein decided to take a look first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Whoosh,' with a flash, Rein appeared inside Hammerfall Tunnel, where he'd passed before. A faint heat permeated the underground, and several caravans were orderly heading to the other side of the tunnel, without signs of panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This indicated that nothing significant had happened inside Hammerfall Tunnel recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's magma below, spiders prefer the dark... no, wait!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is a type of spider that likes heat, the rare and powerful fierce species, the molten spider.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein suddenly thought of something!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind appeared an image of a rare dark red spider, resembling a calf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure flickered several times and reached a lava area beneath the Hammerfall Tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Found it! It's here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile finally appeared on Rein's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of Rein was a molten spider nest, with hundreds of molten spiders carrying various beasts' corpses into the nest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon closer inspection, these molten spiders had several black lines on their bodies, differing from their original appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, someone had tampered with the molten spiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, through the hot steam rising from the lava, Rein saw the familiar figure from the Shirendil Plateau who had fled here, deep within the nest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Graham was by a nearly completed large altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the altar was a large dark red rocky body, with a giant molten spider the size of a carriage perched above it, and around it were various fierce species captured by the molten spider swarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief contemplation, Rein chose not to directly attack but instead observed and listened to Graham's mutterings.\u003C\u002Fp>",872,"2026-06-05T17:04:42.171Z",1,"novelbin.me","cc534e48fe67ded56fd52b6051680d03c4957add5519bdf8f65a64a709c6b467","wizard-starting-from-shoeing-donkeys-chapter-1653","wizard-starting-from-shoeing-donkeys-chapter-1651",1660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-starting-from-shoeing-donkeys-cover.jpg"]
