Chapter 75 Entering The Ceremonial Hunting Caverns 1 (1/2)

”Grandmother...” Peri pulled Akna's sleeve to catch her attention. ”The prize for the winner of the The Great Hunt, Nature's Sting spear, hasn't a jewel that matches John's description?”

”Really?” Akna tried to remember the look of the prize. ”Indeed... Now that you mentioned, it really matches his description.” Realization dawned upon Akna, but not long after that, her face became somewhat ugly. ”I can't help you see the spear. It's going to be the prize of the winner of the Great Hunter, and thus belong to him.”

”Can't I just see it, just to make sure it's what I'm looking for?” John saw the light of hope and then tried to convince Akna to allow him to analyze the so-called prize.

”No...” Akna helplessly shook her. ”If you had arrived just one day earlier I could have allowed you to see the prize up close, but now...” She sighed. ”The prize is already placed inside the Ceremonial Hunting Cavern, the place where the Great Hunt is taking place. I can't allow anyone to interrupt such an important event.”

”Really...?” John lowered his head and sighed. Then he suddenly thought of an idea. He rose his head and asked Akna, ”You said the spear is going to be the prize of the winner of the Great Hunt, right?”

”Yes.” Akna was confused about John's exciting behavior.

”That means... Can I take part in the event and compete for the prize?”

”Huh?” Akna's eyebrows jumped when she heard John's question.

She frowned and entered in deep thought.

”Grandmother, I don't think there's a rule that forbids that other races could take part in the Grand Hunt.” Peri glanced at her grandmother in deep thought and softly said.

”Yes, you are right. There's indeed no rule that forbid John from joining the Hunt.” Akna nodded in acknowledgment. ”But he doesn't have an invitation.” Akna shook her head. ”I can't help you get one-”

”He can use mine.” Peri suddenly said, interrupting Akna.

”Yours?” Akna glanced Peri, surprised to know that her granddaughter still remembered that she was invited to join the Great Hunt.

Peri was one of the young geniuses in the art of hunting and battle, so much so that she was even compared to the youngest winner of the Great Hunt, Nuru.

Almost every Floran looked forward to the day both Nuru and Peri would clash to determine who is the strongest, but Peri backed out from the Great Hunt when she was invited.

She decided to leave her home planet and tribe to search for her own destiny in the endless space.

”Yes, if I'm not wrong I'm allowed to do this, right?” Peri asked her grandmother.
