The Primal Hunter

Chapter 557

Jake and the King didn’t really encounter anything of note as they both flew skyward at a relaxed speed. Both were in weakened states, and while Jake was quickly recovering, the King was not. Hence why they took a relaxed approach.

On the way up, Jake infused some energy into the rock that was totally not an egg that he had received from Sandy. It had only been a few hours since they parted, and Jake would lie if it wasn’t a bit weird that he was already back again, but it wasn’t his fault he sucked at predicting his own future plans.

Okay, it probably was his fault, but in Jake’s defense, he had been somewhat mentally occupied with taking down the Ashen Phantom Devourer.

“You mentioned that you made it here with the help of a C-grade entity,” the King said as they flew up.” Will this entity be willing to assist both of us?”

About now, it should probably be made clear that Jake had not shared much of how he had traveled across the world, much less talked about Sandy. He just said he had made an ally that could help him traverse the world far faster than by himself, and that was why he had time to strategize and such even while moving forward.

No actual details about Sandy had been shared for several reasons. The primary of which being that Jake just didn’t like sharing information about others without permission. Telling everyone who Sandy was and Sandy’s abilities just didn’t sit right with him, so he kept things simple.

Moreover, Sandy was not the type of worm that one should be told about. Sandy was the kind of worm one just had to experience.

“I am sure it will be fine,” Jake said to the King as they soon reached the layer of clouds Sandy could operate in.

Jake and the King stopped as Jake kept watch to make sure no C-grade decided they looked like prey. Neither was in good condition to have a serious fight, so they would rather just wait for Sandy to make it there.

Ten or so minutes passed before Jake felt an aura approach. Jake looked up and saw Sandy descend from a layer of clouds above the one they were in. Jake smiled, but his smile quickly froze as he felt more auras. Several more auras.

All of them were far more powerful than Sandy’s, making them at or near mid-tier C-grade.

“EAT BOTH AND GO!?” Jake heard Sandy’s voice yell in his head from afar.

“Yes!” Jake confirmed.

“Don’t resist the pull,” Jake warned the King, and just in time too.

With great speed, Sandy barreled down and opened their mouth as Jake and the King were gobbled up. Sandy then quickly began flying close to the layer of clouds leading to the lower-leveled region below.

Inside the stomach, the King had stopped to admire what had happened while Jake stared outside. There, far up in the air, several figures now emerged. There were more than a dozen of them, and as they got closer, Jake got a proper look.

It was a group of griffins. Dense wind magic revolved around them as they tried to chase down Sandy, who was flying away at an equally fast pace.
