Chapter 152: Trap? The Situation Reversed Instantly! The Final Match!
Chapter 152: Trap? The Situation Reversed Instantly! The Final Match!
During the clash, it also got hurt, but its injuries quickly healed.
But Green Caterpillar suffered more injuries, and they did not heal!
Several minutes passed.
Everyone watched with anxious and shocked hearts.
There were many head-on clashes in the Qihang Cup.
But this was definitely the first time it was so intense!
However, it seemed like anyone could tell that Green Caterpillar was about to lose.
Because Feathered Spirit Snake had almost no exhaustion.
Every time Green Caterpillar collided, it suffered some minor injuries. After fighting for so long, the accumulating minor injuries gradually changed…
Fatigue began to show.
After another collision.
Green Caterpillar used Silk Spitting to lessen the impact and barely landed on the grass.
It stopped moving.
Lin Xi frowned slightly.
She did not think she was about to win.
On the contrary, she even felt a sense of crisis!
With Wang Che’s battle experience, letting Green Caterpillar fight so exhaustively must mean there was some kind of trap or scheme!
What exactly was it?
Lin Xi’s mind raced quickly, replaying every scene from the beginning.
Wang Che was definitely setting up some kind of trap! Countless images filtered through Lin Xi’s mind!
It felt like she grasped something, but also like she didn’t grasp anything!
Wang Che was best at turning the tables with a crucial move just when the enemy thought they were about to win!
Lin Xi knew this very well.
Especially when it came to lulling the opponent into a false sense of security, he was particularly skilled.
She had watched every one of Wang Che’s matches.
She had studied them all!
Lin Xi was certain that Wang Che had some kind of trap or scheme!
“Both sides have stopped. At this point, Green Caterpillar is very tired and heavily injured. On the other side, Feathered Spirit Snake has hardly any exhaustion!”
The middle-aged commentator finally managed to say something.
The earlier high-intensity clashes were truly too intense, and he had been watching very attentively.
He wanted to comment but couldn’t find the right moment, and there wasn’t much to say anyway.
Now…
The audience watched closely…
It seemed like everyone was waiting for something because the match looked like it was about to end!
At that moment.
A sudden inspiration seemed to strike Lin Xi, as if she remembered something.
Her body jolted, and she looked at Feathered Spirit Snake. Without speaking, she sent a signal through their Life Soul Pact.
Feathered Spirit Snake immediately understood but was somewhat confused.
This gesture wasn’t telling it to continue attacking.
It was telling it to release Energy Bombs around the ground!
Feathered Spirit Snake didn’t understand, but it followed the order anyway.
“Oh, you reacted a bit earlier this time.”
Wang Che laughed. “Unfortunately, it’s a bit too late. After all, this isn’t like last time.”
“Green Caterpillar, use Blazing Charge!”
“Sii wuu!”
Green Caterpillar let out a loud cry, biting onto its silk thread as flames burst out all over its body!
Intense flames suddenly blazed.
Then it charged forward fiercely!
But it wasn’t charging toward Feathered Spirit Snake!
What happened next stunned all the spectators, the special guest seats, and even the many guest referees.
As Green Caterpillar used Blazing Charge and charged forward…
The flames on Green Caterpillar’s body seemed to ignite something.
In an instant, wherever Green Caterpillar passed, strands of flame immediately burst forth from the ground!
Then, like a hidden fuse being lit, the flames wildly spread in all directions!
And quickly set the surrounding grass on fire!
If viewed from above, with Green Caterpillar’s position as the center, countless flames spread outward.
Forming an extremely spectacular pattern of flames that rapidly covered the entire grass terrain!
“What in the world is going on!”
The middle-aged commentator was also greatly shocked and said in astonishment, “How could just Blazing Charge ignite the entire grass terrain? Wait, what’s that!”
He seemed to have seen something…
The grass terrain was very large. Even if Green Caterpillar used Blazing Charge until it exhausted all its Soul Power, it could only burn a part of the grass terrain at most.
But…
At the same time.
The Energy Bombs Feathered Spirit Snake released also exploded around.
With several explosions heard.
A small patch of grass was blown into countless scraps. And it was precisely in this small patch of grass, as the vegetation was blown apart.
Strands of silk thread hidden in the grass appeared in everyone’s sight…
“It’s this move again, it’s this move again!”
Lin Xi’s heart sank!
In the previous Dawn Cup, Wang Che had used the silk threads from Green Caterpillar’s battles, hiding them among the rock debris.
In the end, Feathered Spirit Snake was trapped and had to use Seed Bomb back then.
But now, clearly, this move wasn’t meant to trap Feathered Spirit Snake!
It was meant to… destroy this grass terrain!
Using the dense silk threads as fuses, ignited by Blazing Charge.
The Green Caterpillar rushed past casually and could quickly ignite the hidden fire lines in the grass!
Same method… different result…
Lin Xi gritted her teeth hard.
Although she had already overpowered the Green Caterpillar with its Martial Spirit Armament activated.
She still got tricked and fell into a trap!
The earlier fight was clearly a decoy!
In fact, the Silk Thread the Green Caterpillar used to disperse force was the real hidden killing move!
Moreover, Lin Xi discovered that the Silk Thread now was different from the previous fire-resistant type.
It was a very light green Silk Thread, extremely tough, but once fire touched it, it spread wildly!
‘This Silk Thread was somewhat like Grass Rope; even the mucus on it had an igniting effect… this Silk Thread also contained Plant Life Energy!’
‘The Green Caterpillar knows Energy Bomb, so it must have Plant Life Energy in its body. It not only improved the Silk Thread’s fire resistance but also its flammability…’
Lin Xi clenched her hands tightly again.
Silk Thread containing Plant Life Energy was very tough and active, but because of the Plant Life Energy, it had the lowest fire resistance and ignited very easily.
The Silk Thread that the Rice Worm Group needed was a combination of Plant and Fire Life Energies—both heat-resistant and tough and active.
That competition was actually very important for the Green Caterpillar.
Otherwise, Wang Che wouldn’t have developed this Silk Thread skill further later.
Now, with the fire lines formed by dense Silk Thread, the flames spread across the entire plant terrain very quickly!
Most viewers were dumbfounded; what was the point of doing this?
“Destroying the plant terrain means the Feathered Spirit Snake’s Rooting Soul Skill will lose its effect! At the same time, it will be trapped in a fiery terrain!”
The middle-aged commentator immediately explained, “To defeat the Feathered Spirit Snake, Contestant Wang Che knows clearly that the Feathered Spirit Snake using Rooting has merged with the plant terrain. Without destroying the terrain, the Feathered Spirit Snake would keep recovering! It would be impossible to defeat the Feathered Spirit Snake, no matter who it was!”
“What a perfect strategy! The Green Caterpillar’s earlier fight was just an act! The Silk Thread it spat out during each collision, seemingly for dispersing force, was actually weaving a huge hidden net in the plant terrain!”
“Then it used the flames from Blazing Charge to move quickly and ignite the entire fire terrain at high speed!”
“The light on the Feathered Spirit Snake gradually faded! Meaning the effect of the Rooting Soul Skill was fading!”
“Now, the plant terrain directly turned into a fire terrain!”
“Presumably everyone knows, Contestant Wang Che’s Green Caterpillar has high fire resistance! Even if the Feathered Spirit Snake has Natural Skin, staying too long in a fire terrain is very disadvantageous!”
“The situation reversed instantly! Even…”
Even to the point of winning.
The middle-aged commentator didn’t say it, but everyone understood.
Countless people gasped in awe…
The light on the Feathered Spirit Snake gradually vanished.
Meant its Rooting Soul Skill had ended.
At this point, its abilities weren’t much different from the Green Caterpillar’s.
Especially since flames had spread all around it!
“Ch-ch!”
The Feathered Spirit Snake let out a roar of anger and unwillingness, with a hint of panic in its voice.
How annoying!
That bug was almost done for!
Lin Xi had no choice but to command the Feathered Spirit Snake to take off and fly low, avoiding the burning flames.
Though a bit slow earlier, the Energy Bomb had blasted away the grass and Silk Thread around, so flames hadn’t reached the Feathered Spirit Snake yet!
The Feathered Spirit Snake was very unwilling but quickly flew up, trying to fly higher; otherwise, staying in this fire environment, it would soon be finished.
Losing the advantage of Rooting, with the terrain changed.
The Feathered Spirit Snake could only fly low; the scorching temperature kept rising.
The air currents from the burning flames made flying very difficult.
But as long as it was flying, and the Green Caterpillar couldn’t fly, just watch out for Silk Spitting, the Feathered Spirit Snake would be safe.
When the fire subsided, it could go down to deal with the Green Caterpillar.
There was still a chance!
But at that moment.
The Green Caterpillar disappeared again!
Insect Concealment!
It vanished into the fire environment!
Even without Insect Concealment, with the raging fire everywhere, it was very hard to spot the Green Caterpillar’s position.
Lin Xi felt a sudden sense of warning.
The Feathered Spirit Snake reacted a bit slowly—after all, they didn’t have Telepathy.
But it dodged immediately!
Just then!
A spiraling light suddenly shot out from the burning flames!
The Feathered Spirit Snake thought it had dodged, but looking back, it saw a blazing fireball!
Burning with intense flames!
It dodged!
Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
But the next moment, the spiraling fireball exploded violently!
The terrifying energy instantly blasted the already unstable Feathered Spirit Snake away!
It fell into the flames!
“Feathered Spirit Snake!”
Lin Xi cried out in shock.
What Fire-Type Soul Skill was that?
Could it explode too? Causing such huge area damage?
Fireball?
But Fireball wasn’t known to explode!
Even if it was an advanced Blazing Bomb with explosion effects, its power and range were on a completely different level!
This sudden Soul Skill dealt a fatal blow to the Feathered Spirit Snake that had just taken off!
“Was that… Blazing Bomb?”
The middle-aged commentator was also stunned, “But Blazing Bomb only has a small explosion range and the shockwave power and speed aren’t this exaggerated… This isn’t Blazing Bomb? Could this be another Fire-Type Soul Skill of the Green Caterpillar?”
“So strong! The Feathered Spirit Snake seemed to dodge, but the explosion’s aftershock was too powerful, directly blasting it into the flames!”
On the high platform on the other side.
Lin Xi’s face stiffened.
Obviously, the opponent was well-prepared.
This move was clearly meant for when the Feathered Spirit Snake would fly up.
It was saved specifically for a lethal strike!
Lin Xi had considered that Wang Che’s Green Caterpillar could use Blazing Charge to ignite the plant terrain.
But the battlefield was huge; using Blazing Charge to ignite it was impossible.
Moreover, once the Green Caterpillar used Blazing Charge to ignite, she would notice immediately.
Using Energy Bomb’s explosion to extinguish the flames.
So, in theory, the opponent had no chance to ignite it.
But Lin Xi didn’t expect Wang Che used the same move that had defeated her before—to ignite the fire terrain…
Defeated once again by a Ten-Year Soul Skill, Silk Spitting…
The Feathered Spirit Snake fell into the flames and was quickly beaten down by the Green Caterpillar, which then carried it out of the fire terrain to the outer edge of the central arena.
Otherwise, staying too long in such terrain, the Feathered Spirit Snake would be in danger.
Thump—the Green Caterpillar tossed the Feathered Spirit Snake onto the ground.
It was also a bit tired.
“Ch…”
The Feathered Spirit Snake glared weakly at the Green Caterpillar, letting out a feeble cry of unwillingness.
It was defeated by this Green Caterpillar again!
Seeing this, the referee immediately announced:
“Feathered Spirit Snake is unable to battle. Green Caterpillar wins.”
Instantly, the audience erupted into cheering and uproar!
“Ssu-wu ssu-wu!”
The Green Caterpillar looked at the Feathered Spirit Snake.
You’re not good enough.
“Ch!!”
The Feathered Spirit Snake got angry; those words upset it, but it had no energy left.
Watching the Green Caterpillar’s back, the Feathered Spirit Snake looked up at the sky, its weak eyes seemingly burning with intense flames…
“You did well.”
Wang Che looked at the Green Caterpillar, which was also a bit scorched black, and nodded, “Next is the final match.”
“In this one, you’ll face a Dragon-type Soul Pet.”
“Since it’s the last one, we don’t need to hold back much. Use Telepathy immediately to catch the opponent off guard, then activate both forms, unleash full power, overwhelm the opponent without giving any chance!”
“Understood?”
“Ssu-wu!”
The Green Caterpillar’s eyes lit up, understanding at once!
