Chapter 130: The Missing Leaf-eared Cat

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

The battle situation on the battlefield often changed rapidly.

The switching of the identity of the attacker and the defender only took a split second.

Just a moment ago, the spectators were still curious.

In the face of the Green Leaf Flying Daggers and the ‘Vine Whip’ that the Leaf-eared Cat threw out, would the Metal-feathered Eagle choose to forcefully dodge them or shoot its ‘Feather Arrows’ to slash apart the ‘Green Leaf Flying Daggers’ before thinking of a solution.

However, the next moment, the Metal-feathered Eagle had used its four eagle claws, which had been enhanced by the metal-type innate skill ‘Metalize’, to crush the ‘Green Leaf Flying Daggers’ that had flown over and cut off the ‘Vine Whip’.

Furthermore, after the Metal-feathered Eagle broke free from the Leaf-eared Cat’s attack, it finally began its counterattack!

Watching as the Metal-feathered Eagle flapped its wings and shot out its Metal Feathers at the falling Leaf-eared Cat, some of the spectators in the spectator stand stood up excitedly.

“Hey! Guys! Look! The Metal-feathered Eagle has finally used its metal-type skill that can shoot out metal feathers again!”

“How is it? I just said that Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle will definitely not let this opportunity slip by!”

“The Leaf-eared Cat doesn’t have any skills that can keep it in the air. If these four metal feathers with metal-type spiritual energy hit the target, as a plant-type spirit beast, the Leaf-eared Cat might suffer significant damage!”

“Miss Annie has also given a command! It seems like the Leaf-eared Cat still has a way to handle this situation!”

“…”

Under Annie’s command, the Leaf-eared Cat in the air used its ‘Vine Whip’ on the nearby trees.

With the help of the vines that were wrapped around the tree, the Leaf-eared Cat changed its direction of descent and successfully dodged the four metal feathers that were glimmering with a golden glow.

The audience, who had thought that this move would be the key to victory, stood up excitedly.

After seeing this scene, they all prepared to return to their seats in pity.

However, following that, an audience member exclaimed.

All the spectators’ eyes were focused on the two vines that the Leaf-eared Cat had thrown out.

“The Metal-feathered Eagle shot two metal feathers at the Leaf-eared Cat! That’s not right! The trajectories of these two metal feathers are clearly not going towards the cat!”

“Hmm? Oh! I get it! As the Leaf-eared Cat can change its direction by controlling the vines like before, the Metal-feathered Eagle targeted the two vines that are wrapped around the tree!”

“Look! The two metal feathers that the Metal-feathered Eagle shot out have indeed cut off the vines around the tree!”

“The Leaf-eared Cat has already fallen into the bushes! But the Metal-feathered Eagle’s attack has not stopped! It has also shot out four metal feathers towards the bushes!”

“Hmm? Why isn’t there any movement from the shrubbery? Could it be that the Leaf-eared Cat landed too heavily and fainted?”

“That’s not right! The Leaf-eared Cat isn’t in the bushes anymore! Where did it go?”

“…”

In just a few seconds, the Metal-feathered Eagle successfully swapped the position of attacker and defender with the Leaf-eared Cat.

The intense battle made all the spectators stand up.

They stuck out their bodies and used their eyes to search for the Leaf-eared Cat.

Giles, who was standing at the side of the arena, communicated telepathically with the Metal-feathered Eagle.

He was certain that the Leaf-eared Cat was no longer in the bushes.

However, Giles’ gaze was still on the patch of shrubbery that the Leaf-eared Cat had just landed in.

Was that what the rustling of leaves was when it first fell into the bushes?”

For the first time since the battle began, the Metal-feathered Eagle did not manage to capture the Leaf-eared Cat’s movements.

Therefore, Giles, who was curious about this, looked pensive as he stared at the bush.

Based on the Leaf-eared Cat’s height in the sky before Feather Arrows severed the vines, it should have had time to continue condensing new vines to bind to the other trees around it.

But Annie didn’t get it to do that.

Although the Leaf-eared Cat that fell into the bushes would look a little pathetic, this is clearly Annie’s choice.

As for the purpose of Annie getting the Leaf-eared Cat to do this, it’s probably to make use of the rustling of the leaves to allow the Leaf-eared Cat to hide.

Giles looked at the motionless bush and recalled the scene where the Leaf-eared Cat had been about to fall into the bush.

He quickly speculated in his heart that Annie must have deliberately gotten the Leaf-eared Cat to hide in the bushes.

This was because even though the vines that the Leaf-eared Cat had wrapped around the tree had been severed by the Feather Arrows shot out by the Metal-feathered Eagle, the Leaf-eared Cat had already adjusted its landing position at that time.

Even if an accident happened and the vines were cut off, the Leaf-eared Cat would not be hurt when it fell into the bushes.

Furthermore, it could even use the sound of the leaves rubbing against each other to move around in the bushes.

At the thought of this, Giles raised his head slightly and ordered the Metal-feathered Eagle in the air, “Metal-feathered Eagle, stop the pursuit for now!”

“You can circle around the arena and search for the Leaf-eared Cat.”

“We still don’t know the location of the Leaf-eared Cat yet.”

“Therefore, you have to pay attention to maintaining your flying height.”

“Don’t let the Leaf-eared Cat find a chance to launch a sneak attack.”

As the forest was covered by the tall and dense trees, when the Leaf-eared Cat fell into the bush under the tree, the Metal-feathered Eagle could only roughly determine its location.

Furthermore, if it wanted to observe the bush under the tree, the Metal-feathered Eagle would have to reduce its flying height slightly.

The Metal-feathered Eagle recalled Giles’ previous instructions and did not choose to lower its flying height to search for the Leaf-eared Cat.

Just as the Metal-feathered Eagle was hesitating about whether to continue firing its Feather Arrows, it received Giles’ command through spiritual communication.

Thus, the Metal-feathered Eagle flapped its wings and flew higher.

At the same time, it began to circle around the only patch of grass on the battlefield, continuously searching for the Leaf-eared Cat.

Hmm, this method worked as expected!

Annie watched as the Metal-feathered Eagle returned to its previous flying height and began to circle around the battlefield.

Standing on the other side of the battlefield, Annie confirmed that the method she had thought of was effective.

Looking at Giles’ thoughtful expression, Annie suddenly smiled cunningly.

Looks like my advantage has finally returned to me!
