<h4>Chapter 358 Evasive On the Clock</h4>


    No matter in which direction the Boar King moved, from time to time, the way in which he turned pointed directly towards Vir. Depending on the habitats, the Boar King generally had to circle around mountains, avoid fragile ecologies that would be destroyed under his presence, etc.


    As a result, he couldn''t travel in a straight line. But as his goal was Vir, no matter how much he meandered, all his turns were towards Vir.


    "I need to confirm something." Vir said, grabbed Bl and ran at his top speed, using an Empyrean Tusk''s strength to travel long distances in a short while, constantly keeping track of the fear to confirm, "Indeed, he''s aiming for us."


    "Stay here for a second." Vir dropped Bl and ran ten kilometres away, thinking as he noticed the changes, ''He''s particrlying for me. Why? Did I mess up somewhere? No, I haven''t left the Mammoth n before this. There''s no way I did anything to trigger the Boar King. Then, there''s just one reason.''


    "Either it''s Orakha or In." Vir muttered, his gaze serious as he made guesses, "What should be the motive? To stop my growth? But trying to lure in the Boar King for such a case is too risky."


    ''Who is that desperate to get rid of me?'' Vir frowned. Even Resha wasn''t desperate in that regard. After all, thetter had the power to get rid of him easily. So it wasn''t an issue he would bother the Boar King with, for that was crazy.


    ''There''s only one guy who''s as crazy as me to do this. And he has the motives to do so.'' Vir sighed, ''In, that fucker. He''s nning something huge, possibly through Gan, since she''s the Supreme Tusk''s sessor. Did he pin the me on me? That seems likely.''


    Orakha didn''t have a strong enough motive to take such risks. Besides, though Orakha was a risk-taker, he wasn''t a lunatic to dare mess with the Boar King. Among the reincarnates, only two had the guts to do that—In and Vir.


    "He''sing for you." Vir lied once he returned to where Bl stood, "I think he discovered the shit you pulled in Ennoudu ins."


    "Seriously? Why now?" Bl screamed in worry, "That was so long ago!"


    "In probably leaked it." Virmented, "The Chiefmanded Orakha to bring some Empyrean Tusk bone powder to In. The two would have met regarding that. As long as Gann touches Orakha, she can read his memories. That may be how In learnt of your actions and used it to his advantage."


    "Shit!" Bl cursed, "It''s all because of Orakha. He''s a fucking snitch! He should have kept whatever he learnt from the Transcendent Eater to himself."


    "What do we do now, Vir?" Bl was flustered, "If the Boar King swallows me, he''ll obtain the Transcendent Eater''s Nature. It''ll be impossible to kill him after that. Worstes to worst, the Transcendent Eater''s Nature would overpower his Astral Chart, devour him, and use that as fuel to sprout. Our Continent is doomed if that happens."


    "Rx." Vir stated casually, "I can handle this. Get inside me. I''ll take care of you."


    Vir took on his Empyrean Tusk form, bing as massive as a mountain as his trunk unleashed a strong suction force, sucking in Bl along with the surrounding vegetation. Once thetter was safe in his stomach biome, Vir reverted to his human form.


    ''One day, I would love to have the Transcendent Eater''s Nature, but I probably don''t have the strength to handle that power. It''s alright, I have plenty of time.'' Vir thought casually as he began to sprint,ing to a stop upon finding an Iron Grade Pranic Beast.


    He swapped the Gold Nature Weapon of Artillery with the Gold Nature Weapon of Leech, bing ready as he stored the rest of his Nature Weapons in his stomach biome. He reverted his Storage Lanterns to their original size so that the space inside them would vanish, following which he swallowed them too.


    Vir then leapt towards the Iron Grade Pranic Beast and took on his Nature Weapon form, seeping into its body once he came into contact with it. He took up its Secondary Nature slot without issues and observed, ''Alright, there''s no issues in taking up this form even with a living being in my stomach. As expected of a Mystic Grade Nature. It''s absurdly broken.''


    As long as Bl doesn''t try attacking his stomach biome, Vir won''t have issues maintaining his Nature Weapon form.


    Once he fully settled in the Secondary Nature slot, he exerted influence upon the Iron Grade Pranic Beast, causing it to begin moving as he desired. Through the Nature Weapon of Leech, he used the Decaleech''s power to keep thetter stealthy.


    The only way to detect this Iron Grade Pranic Beast was through sight. Its body odour was erased while its footsteps were absolutely silent. When it walked, its body moved in such a way it didn''t exert any weight on the ground.


    This was thanks to the effects of Internal Inertial Gravity. Hence, without exerting any presence, the Iron Grade Pranic Beast left no traces as it continued to run along the banks of the Red-Draft River.


    Two hourster, Vir was a tad relieved, ''Alright, this works. I don''t know what means the Boar King is using to detect me, but thankfully, my stealth abilities are superior.''


    The Decaleech''s ability to remain absolutely stealthy, not being registered even in Prana detection means, the Empyrean Tusk''s ability to make the body as light as a feather and leave behind no physical evidence, and finally, Vir hiding in the Secondary Nature slot of an Iron Grade Pranic Beast.


    This was a stealth spanning multipleyers, ensuring even the best detection methods would no longer be able to detect traces of him. And indeed, it was effective as the Boar King lost sight of Vir''s position.


    Through Internal Inertial Gravity, Vir noticed the Boar Kinge to a halt, unable to detect his position anymore. ''Perfect!''


    ''But, he might detect my position the moment Ie out.'' Vir thought in response, ''And if I were to reveal my position, he''ll connect the dots from my previous spot and determine that I''m heading to the Brimgan Empire. It would be catastrophic if the Boar King were to head there. All my ns would get disrupted in that scenario.''


    ''Alright, we''re hiding until the Boar King goes away.'' Vir thought and influenced the Iron Grade Pranic Beast to dig a hole and bury itself, hiding in the spot. The Boar King had to actively use his detection means to locate Vir.


    He didn''t believe that the Boar King would try to constantly keep that active, for such a potent ability that could track someone thousands of kilometres away should be heavily taxing on Prana. It was a matter of time before the Boar King became exhausted and needed some rest.


    Vir will move in that time period. ''Now, I need to calcte that. From here, everything''s guesswork.''


    He frowned, trying to think of a realistic way in which he could determine the Boar King''s actions, through which he could find out when it was safe to move and when it was better to remain hidden.


    The Iron Grade Pranic Beast he found was the easiest to influence, but that also meant it was too fragile. He couldn''t use it to travel all the way to the Brimgan Empire, ''I need a stronger Iron Grade Pranic Beast.''


    After waiting for a few days, the Iron Grade Pranic Beast began to move when the coast was clear. Soon, it reached the Brask Channel,ing across the Guna Caves that spanned from it, alongside the Dralh Sea, and further beyond, upying an expansive region.


    ''Found it!'' Vir became excited upon staring at a mature Bludder. A momentter, he felt greedy upon seeing a Bludder in action, ''Oh my! If it''s this powerful even at Iron Grade, wouldn''t it be terrifying at the Silver or even the Gold Grade?''


    ''Guess I need to stockpile some Nature Weapons.'' Followed by a grin, he caused the Iron Grade Pranic Beast to approach a Bludder that was feasting upon its prey.
