Chapter 132: Plant-type Recovery Skill, ‘Sunbathe’

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

From Miss Annie’s tone when she commanded the Leaf-eared Cat to hide, I can tell that she was very agitated and anxious at that time.

This means that before this, she clearly didn’t expect Giles to let the Metal-feathered Eagle use its ‘Metalized’ eagle claws to ward off the Leaf-eared Cat’s attack.

At the same time, this means that she knows very well that the Metal-feathered Eagle’s metal-type skill that fires its metal feathers is a huge threat to the Leaf-eared Cat.

Hash, who had her head slightly tilted, looked away from the Metal-feathered Eagle that was circling in the air.

Then, she turned her head slightly to look at Annie, who was standing on the other side of the battlefield.

But it is also because Miss Annie and the Leaf-eared Cat are constantly on guard against the metal-type skill that the Metal-feathered Eagle had yet to use.

That’s why she could command the Leaf-eared Cat to dodge the attack the moment the Metal-feathered Eagle launched its feathers.

The Metal-feathered Eagle, which had changed its target, then shot out two metal feathers, cutting off the two vines that the Leaf-eared Cat had wrapped around the tree.

Miss Annie and the Leaf-eared Cat didn’t panic because of this.

*Miss Annie didn’t let the Leaf-eared Cat continue throwing new vines to wrap around the other trees to change the direction of its landing position.

She got the Leaf-eared Cat to fall into the nearest bush. At the same time, she got it to activate its innate skill ‘Cloak of Nature’ to hide itself.

With the help of the sound of the rustling leaves when it fell into the bushes, Miss Annie got the concealed Leaf-eared Cat to quickly climb up a nearby tree.

Just as everyone’s gaze was focused on the bush where the Leaf-eared Cat had fallen, who would have thought that the Leaf-eared Cat had already hidden elsewhere?

However, even though Miss Annie and the Leaf-eared Cat were able to react quickly to unexpected situations, from the moment Giles had the Metal-feathered Eagle launch a counterattack, the victory scale had already begun to tip towards Giles.

Standing on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, Hash stared at a tall and dense tree in the battlefield.

There was a thick tree branch on that tree, and on the branch was an especially dense ‘leaf’ that was swaying slightly.

However, that was not because of the gentle breeze blowing in the evaluation section of Starlux Gym.

Instead, it was in fact the Leaf-eared Cat, who was lying on a tree branch, after it activated its innate skill, ‘Cloak of Nature’.

Through her sharp spiritual perception, Hash could tell that the Leaf-eared Cat was lying on its back and breathing slowly.

Under Miss Annie’s command, the Leaf-eared Cat continuously attacked the Metal-feathered Eagle who was above the arena.

It first activated its innate skill, ‘Cloak of Nature’, to hide its figure and attempt to distract the Metal-feathered Eagle by moving back and forth between the bushes.

After this method failed, Miss Annie began to have the Leaf-eared Cat initiate the attack and continued to use the ‘Green Leaf Flying Daggers’ to suppress the Metal-feathered Eagle’s flying height.

Furthermore, while the Leaf-eared Cat threw the Green Leaf Flying Daggers, it also threw out ‘Vine Whip’ to wrap around the tree branches, swinging its body to shorten the distance between it and the Metal-feathered Eagle.

In the chase after the Metal-feathered Eagle in which Miss Annie asked the Leaf-eared Cat to take the initiative to attack, due to the Leaf-eared Cat constantly using its skills and running and jumping around, its spiritual energy and physical strength were greatly depleted.

Compared to the Leaf-eared Cat, who is now lying on a tree branch and panting, Giles’ Metal-feathered Eagle is in much better shape.

Hash raised her head slightly and switched her spiritual perception to the Metal-feathered Eagle that was circling above the battlefield.

Although the Metal-feathered Eagle’s combat effectiveness rank is three ranks lower than that of the Leaf-eared Cat, the difference in the spiritual energy in their bodies is no longer as large as before.

Furthermore, under the ferocious attack of the Leaf-eared Cat just now, the Metal-feathered Eagle that had been dodging the attacks all this while actually consumed less physical strength than the Leaf-eared Cat that was continuously chasing after it.

The reason why Giles chose to let the extremely aggressive Metal-feathered Eagle use such a ‘defensive counter attack’ tactic is probably because the Metal-feathered Eagle’s attributes are different from that of the Leaf-eared Cat.

The metal-type Metal-feathered Eagle is not like the plant-type Leaf-eared Cat which has strong recovery abilities and continuous combat ability.

Moreover, the Metal-feathered Eagle’s combat effectiveness rank is three ranks lower than that of the Leaf-eared Cat. Both its physical strength and spiritual energy are inferior to the evolved Leaf-eared Cat.

Therefore, Giles has been paying attention to the Metal-feathered Eagle’s physical strength and spiritual energy consumption in this battle.

Under the ‘Defensive Counter Attack’ tactic that Giles designed for the Metal-feathered Eagle, the Leaf-eared Cat, which initially had the advantage of physical strength and spiritual energy, would turn out to be the first to become exhausted and out of breath.

From the looks of it, even if Miss Annie plans to let the Leaf-eared Cat fight the drawn-out battle that plant-type spirit beasts are best at, she won’t be able to gain an advantage over the Metal-feathered Eagle with abundant physical strength and spiritual energy, unless…

Just as Hash was pondering, her spiritual perception suddenly sensed a plant-type spiritual power that was slowly increasing.

The direction where the plant-type spiritual energy was headed was towards the tree branch where the Leaf-eared Cat, who had activated its innate skill, was hiding!

“Oh? Miss Annie’s Leaf-eared Cat actually learned this skill?”

After Hash sensed the increasing plant-type spiritual energy through her spiritual perception, she subconsciously looked towards the tree branch that the Leaf-eared Cat was lying on.

Compared to before, the thick tree branch was missing a cluster of dense green “leaves”.

In its place was the Leaf-eared Cat with a tinge of green light all over its body.

Knowing that it was time for the show to begin, Hash sat on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle

Then, Hash enunciated every word clearly on the skill and effect that the Leaf-eared Cat had activated.

“The recovery skill of plant-type spirit beasts, ‘Sunbathe’, has a mechanism similar to the photosynthesis of plants.”

“After activating this skill, the Leaf-eared Cat can slowly recover its stamina and spiritual energy from before by absorbing the sunlight.”

“Although the speed at which the Leaf-eared Cat restores its strength and spiritual energy when using ‘Sunbathe’ is not fast, this plant-type recovery skill is extremely important to the current battle situation!”

“Because if Giles can’t immediately think of a countermeasure and get the Metal-feathered Eagle to stop the Leaf-eared Cat from activating ‘Sunbathe’, in that case, the stamina and spiritual energy that the Leaf-eared Cat depleted from his ‘defense counterattack’ tactic will gradually recover!”
