The moment he woke up he felt a stabbing pain all over his body, the parts of his body with missing scales felt like somebody pulled off his nails.
He wanted to scream and roar but he was afraid it might give out his position to that damnable hippo.
What he needed right now was a place to lie low and recuperate. He had never suffered demage of this level before and doesn't know how long it will take to heal.
Or if it will heal at all, he dragged his battered body. He swam slowly trying not to cause a commotion but his body was so large it split the water apart when he moved.
It didn't take long for him to find a huge underwater hole with dense vegetation, the hole was home to a variety of normal fish.
He couldn't sense a single rank 1 let alone rank 2 fish. Infact there was barely any essence here which is something he had learnt was possible.
Some regions had a high concentration of essence energy while others had a very low concentration of essence energy.
