Chapter 127: Crushing the Green Leaf Flying Daggers and Cutting Off the Vine Whip
Standing on the other side of the battlefield, Giles raised his head slightly and looked towards the sky where his Metal-feathered Eagle was constantly changing its direction to dodge the Green Leaf Flying Daggers thrown out by the Leaf-eared Cat.
Giles mentally estimated the number of ‘Feather Arrows’ that the Metal-feathered Eagle could fire next.
At the moment, there are probably still about fifty more ‘Feather Arrows’ that the Metal-Feathered Eagle can fire.
Just as Annie had speculated, there was indeed a limit to the number of ‘Feather Arrows’ that Giles’ Metal-feathered Eagle could fire within a short period of time.
According to Giles’ own evaluation of the Metal-feathered Eagle, the Metal-feathered Eagle could at most fire 52 metal feathers continuously using the skill ‘Feather Arrows’.
Once it exceeded this number, the Metal-feathered Eagle would clearly feel the burden on its spiritual energy.
However, this evaluation was just the conclusion Giles had reached last week.
The Metal-feathered Eagle had also improved significantly during the past week’s training.
Therefore, Giles speculated that there were about fifty more metal feathers to be shot as ‘Feather Arrows’.
Hmm, the fifty ‘Feather Arrows’ is not a lot, but neither is it a small number.
1
Previously, I had the Metal-feathered Eagle shoot the ‘Feather Arrows’ to slash the ‘Green Leaf Flying Daggers’ mainly to test the power of the ‘Feather Arrows’ skill.
However, the number of ‘Feather Arrows’ that the Metal-feathered Eagle can shoot is ultimately limited, and the Green Leaf Flying Daggers that the Leaf-eared Cat uses only consumes a small amount of spiritual energy. Therefore, there is no need for it to specially use ‘Feather Arrows’ to strike the ‘Green Leaf Flying Daggers’.
Besides, letting the Metal-feathered Eagle dodge the ‘Green Leaf Flying Daggers’ will only consume some of its strength. The Green Leaf Flying Daggers will consume more spiritual energy and physical strength when the Leaf-eared Cat pursues and attacks the Metal-feathered Eagle.
Up till now, the Leaf-eared Cat has consumed more spiritual energy and used up more stamina than the Metal-feathered Eagle.
If the Leaf-eared Cat continues to waste its spiritual energy and physical strength like it’s doing now, even if it is a plant-type spirit beast with strong recovery abilities, it will not have an advantage in a prolonged battle.
As long as the Leaf-eared Cat, which has a higher combat effectiveness rank, shows signs of fatigue first, that will be the time for me to get the Metal-feathered Eagle to launch a counterattack!
Giles watched as the Metal-feathered Eagle in the sky above the arena continued to use the flying techniques that he had taught it. Every time, the Green Leaf Flying Daggers would narrowly brush past it.
Although it looked extremely precarious as the Metal-feathered Eagle dodged the Green Leaf Flying Daggers, if one observed carefully, they would notice that the Metal-feathered Eagle’s gaze was actually very calm and did not show any signs of panic.
This was also why Giles had the Metal-feathered Eagle do this. His motive was very simple.
It was to train the Metal-feathered Eagle’s reaction and movement speed in actual combat, during this battle.
Furthermore, with the situation where it almost got hit every time, it would make the Leaf-eared Cat continue to jump between the branches in the forest and use the vines to sway its body to chase after the Metal-feathered Eagle so that it could attack the Metal-feathered Eagle.
Looks like it was the right choice to continue defending without firing ‘Feather Arrows’.
Watching the pursuit in the battlefield, Giles nodded slightly.
If the Metal-feathered Eagle shoots ‘Arrow Feather’ at will, not only will it consume more spiritual energy, but also because the Leaf-eared Cat had plant-type attributes, Annie will definitely not let the Leaf-eared Cat approach the Metal-feathered Eagle that can shoot ‘Feather Arrows’ at will.
In this battle, apart from its metal-type attribute that counters the plant-type spirit beast, the Leaf-eared Cat Cat, my Metal-feathered Eagle’s greatest advantage is that it can fly and fight in the air.
Even if the Leaf-eared Cat has a tall and dense forest that can be used as a springboard to get close to the Metal-feathered Eagle, Annie will still have to think of a way to drag the Metal-feathered Eagle into the forest and move the battlefield from the air to the ground.
Otherwise, even if the Leaf-eared Cat’s combat effectiveness rank is three ranks higher than the Metal-feathered Eagle, even if it is a plant-type spirit beast with strong recovery abilities and continuous combat ability, it will still lose the ability to continue fighting because its stamina and spiritual energy consumption are far greater than the Metal-feathered Eagle.
Oh? It’s finally getting close?
Although Giles had been thinking about his next strategy in his mind, his gaze had been focused on the battlefield.
At that moment, he realized that the Leaf-eared Cat, which was using the vines to swing its body, was less than five meters away from the Metal-feathered Eagle in the sky.
At this relatively close distance, the pattern on the Leaf-eared Cat’s ears suddenly glowed green. Then, it threw out two Green Leaf Flying Daggers at the Metal-feathered Eagle.
At the same time, after it used the vines to swing its body, it did not use the vines to continue entangling the branches in the forest.
Instead, it lashed out the two vines, which were made of plant-type spiritual energy, from the pattern on its neck towards the Metal-feathered Eagle.
Based on the current situation, the Metal-feathered Eagle no longer had the possibility of dodging the Green Leaf Flying Daggers at this distance.
Furthermore, as long as the Metal-feathered Eagle closed its wings and prepared to shoot the Feather Arrows at the Green Leaf Flying Daggers, the Leaf-eared Cat would be able to restrain the Metal-feathered Eagle with the two vines.
Annie’s command and the Leaf-eared Cat’s reaction are very fast!
Seeing this scene in the battlefield, Giles couldn’t help but praise Annie and the Leaf-eared Cat.
Then, he narrowed his eyes and smiled. He was like a fox that had succeeded in its scheme.
However, the Metal-feathered Eagle and I have been waiting for this moment for a long time!
The Metal-feathered Eagle above the arena had also received Giles’ command through spiritual communication.
“Metal-feathered Eagle, since you can no longer dodge these two ‘Green Leaf Flying Daggers’, then raise your two claws that have been strengthened by your innate skill ‘Metalize’ and crush them! Then, use your sharp claws to cut off the two vines that the Leaf-eared Cat threw over!”
In the face of the attacks of the Green Leaf Flying Daggers and the two vines that followed, the Metal-feathered Eagle did not panic at all after receiving Giles’ command.
It calmly raised its claws that had long been enhanced by its innate skill, ‘Metalize’.
At that moment, metal-type spiritual energy had completely enveloped its sharp claws.
Under the sunlight, the claws that reflected a metallic luster were like unsheathed blades that gleamed with a terrifying icy light.
Subsequently, the claws that had been enhanced by ‘Metalize’ also displayed immense destructive power.
Clink! Clank!
The crisp sound of two objects colliding with metal rang out.
The Metal-feathered Eagle used its sharp claws to catch the two Green Leaf Flying Daggers.
Furthermore, its body, which had stopped in the air above the arena, did not sway in the slightest under the impact of the two Green Leaf Flying Daggers.
After catching the two Green Leaf Flying Daggers, the Metal-feathered Eagle only clenched its claws gently, before the Green Leaf Flying Daggers in its claws shattered into plant-type spiritual energy that gradually dissipated.
The two vines that followed targeted the Metal-feathered Eagle’s flapping wings.
The Metal-feathered Eagle stretched out its arms towards the two vines.
Although compared to its feet, its arms were extremely thin and weak.
However, after activating its innate skill ‘Metalize’, the eagle claws on its arms were as sharp as its claws.
Even though the Metal-feathered Eagle’s arms did not exert much strength, the two vines were easily sliced apart like the Green Leaf Flying Daggers when they collided with its outstretched eagle claws.
At that moment, the Leaf-eared Cat, which was using the vines to move its body, was still flying towards the Metal-feathered Eagle.
The distance between it and the Metal-feathered Eagle that was cutting the vines was less than three meters!
