LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 131
Chapter 131: The Leaf-eared Cat Is Actually Hiding in a Tree!
Looks like the Metal-feathered Eagle and Giles don’t know where the Leaf-eared Cat is currently hiding.
The Metal-feathered Eagle’s actions and Giles’ expression made Annie, who was standing on the other side of the battlefield, certain of this.
However, Annie, who was smiling, sighed to herself.
It had not been easy for her to establish her current upper hand, which allowed her to finally relax.
Previously, I had been asking the Leaf-eared Cat to attack the Metal-feathered Eagle flying in the sky.
Even though the Leaf-eared Cat had activated its innate skill ‘Cloak of Nature’ and hid itself in the bushes, the Metal-feathered Eagle that stopped above the arena could also see its trajectory clearly.
However, both the Leaf-eared Cat and I ignored a very crucial point!
The Metal-feathered Eagle can clearly see the movements of the Leaf-eared Cat.
Other than its own reasons, there is another more important reason!
That’s because the Leaf-eared Cat has been shuttling through the bushes, looking for an opportunity to attack.
At the thought of this, the relaxed Annie shifted her gaze away from the Metal-feathered Eagle in the air.
Then, her gaze landed on the bush that the Leaf-eared Cat had fallen into.
Just now, I told the cat to adjust its landing position and fall into the bushes.
The Leaf-eared Cat activated its innate skill, ‘Cloak of Nature’, again. It hid its body and increased its speed.
Furthermore, I also got the Leaf-eared Cat to use this opportunity to climb up the nearest tree from the bushes and stay still.
The final outcome is just as I expected.
That tree has a dense canopy to shield the Leaf-eared Cat, and the Metal-feathered Eagle was completely focused on the bush that the Leaf-eared Cat had fallen into.
If the Metal-feathered Eagle had chosen to continue pursuing and had flown lower than the crown of the tree, it should be able to immediately discover that the Leaf-eared Cat is actually on the tree branch of that huge tree.
That’s right, most of the others’ eyes were focused on the bushes in the battlefield as they searched for the Leaf-eared Cat.
No one noticed that on a tree in the battlefield, there was a thick branch with an especially dense green ‘leaf’ on it.
However, Hash, who was the umpire, was not included among these people.
Hash, who had just obtained the title of ‘Elite’, was evaluated by the Beast Tamer Association as the ‘youngest Elite Beast Tamer’.
Not only did Hash have the strength of an Epic-rank Beast Tamer, but the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle that she had contracted also had combat effectiveness rank that was close to the Legend rank.
The reason being that Hash’s Tree-tailed Alligator Turtle was the same as Annie’s Leaf-eared Cat. They were both plant-attribute spirit beasts.
Hence, when everyone realized that the Leaf-eared Cat, who had fallen into the bushes, had disappeared, Hash activated her spiritual perception as she stood on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle.
In an instant, she caught sight of the Leaf-eared Cat, which was exhausting its spiritual energy to activate its innate skill.
Hash looked at the figure of the Leaf-eared Cat hidden among the branches of the tree.
She also understood why Annie had asked the Leaf-eared Cat to do this.
Regarding everything that had happened above the battlefield, even the experienced and knowledgeable Elite Beast Tamer, Hash, could not help but praise from the bottom of her heart, What a brilliant exchange of attack and defense!
First, Miss Annie got her Leaf-eared Cat to pursue the Metal-feathered Eagle in the air.
The Leaf-eared Cat used the ‘Vine Whip’ to swing its body to close the distance between it and the Metal-feathered Eagle.
During this period, it also continuously used the Green Leaf Flying Daggers to suppress the flying speed of the Metal-feathered Eagle.
In the end, Miss Annie and the Leaf-eared Cat finally seized the opportunity when the Metal-feathered Eagle flew lower.
The Leaf-eared Cat used its ‘Green Leaf Flying Daggers’ and ‘Vine Whip’ to force the Metal-feathered Eagle to fire its metal feathers.
However, Miss Annie and the Leaf-eared Cat didn’t know that this was actually a chance that Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle had been waiting for.
At the thought of this, Hash couldn’t help but look at Giles in admiration.
The Leaf-eared Cat’s combat effectiveness rank is three ranks higher than the Metal-feathered Eagle. Furthermore, it is a plant-type spirit beast with strong recovery abilities.
Giles’ Metal-feathered Eagle is a metal-type spirit beast that counters plant-type spirit beasts.
But the metal-type skill that the Metal-feathered Eagle uses to shoot metal feathers still has a limitation in numbers.
As a Beast Tamer, Giles is also clearly aware of this.
Therefore, when Giles saw the Leaf-eared Cat constantly unleashing Green Leaf Flying Daggers to suppress the Metal-feathered Eagle, he didn’t let the Metal-feathered Eagle waste its limited number of metal feathers to slice the ‘Green Leaf Flying Daggers’ that were flying towards it.
Instead, he had the Metal-feathered Eagle activate its metal-type innate skill, ‘Metalize’, in advance and strengthen its four eagle claws.
In the process of activating its innate skill to strengthen its eagle claws, the Metal-feathered Eagle would always “narrowly” dodge the ‘Green Leaf Flying Daggers’ that the Leaf-eared Cat threw out.
Now that I think about it, how can such a coincidence happen every time?
This is clearly Giles’ doing on purpose!
Hash, who was standing on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, raised her head slightly and looked at the Metal-feathered Eagle circling above the battlefield.
Firstly, it would take some time for the Metal-feathered Eagle to activate its innate skill to strengthen its eagle claws.
Furthermore, this would also make the Leaf-eared Cat to continue unleashing ‘Green Leaf Flying Daggers’ to chase after the Metal-feathered Eagle.
When the Leaf-eared Cat used the vines to wrap around the tree branches to swing its body and finally caught up to the Metal-feathered Eagle, it didn’t expect that the Metal-feathered Eagle, which had been holding back, would unleash a ferocious attack that almost determined victory for the first time!
The Metal-feathered Eagle suddenly used its four sharp eagle claws that had been enhanced by its metal-type innate skill ‘Metalize’. It clearly exceeded everyone’s expectations.
The four eagle claws that are as sharp as blades shattered the Green Leaf Flying Daggers that flew over and cut off the ‘Vine Whips’.
As a result, the Leaf-eared Cat, who was unprepared at that time, lost the means to stay in the air by binding the Metal-feathered Eagle. It could only begin to descend from the sky.
Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Naturally, they had to seize this opportunity to launch a counterattack!
However, in the face of the Metal-feathered Eagle’s sudden counterattack, Miss Annie’s reaction speed and method of handling it were very timely and appropriate.
