Chapter 48

"Really impressive. Although there was a bit of hesitation, she was able to make the right decision quickly. This woman really has a lot of talent, meow!"

Seeing this scene, Wenlong felt more and more that Catherine's talent was not just about strength; perhaps she also had some intuition to make the right judgment in times of crisis.

"Next, after the Beaversaur uses this move, it will take a while to get back up. If it were me, I would seize the opportunity to counterattack now..."

Just as Wenlong was thinking this, Catherine had almost the same thought.

"If Mr. Cat were here, he would seize the moment to counterattack, right?"

With this thought, Catherine struggled to get up as quickly as possible. In contrast, the Beaversaur, having used too much force when it pounced, found it not so easy to get back up.

Standing up, raising her hand, lifting her sword, and then bringing it down! Catherine performed all these actions smoothly, without any hesitation, fully demonstrating the results of her previous training!

The Beaversaur had just managed to get back up and was about to dodge, but it was too late. The intelligent beast could only raise its front paw, preparing to block Catherine's strike with its claws!

"Ah!" Catherine shouted.

The heavy bone sword came down forcefully, and the Beaversaur's claws met it from below. The two collided, and Wenlong saw a gush of blood spurt from the Beaversaur's front paw! Upon closer inspection, it was clear that the Beaversaur's large, sharp front paw had not only failed to block Catherine's sword but had also been cut off a piece, with blood splattering along with the severed part!

However, Catherine's sword did not stop. After a slight delay, it continued to fall. Catherine's hands and body did not relax at all after cutting off the Beaversaur's front paw; instead, she increased her force!

As Catherine's bone sword was about to land on the Beaversaur's head, the Beaversaur, having lost one front paw, quickly turned its body. As a result, the sword that was supposed to land on the Beaversaur's head instead hit its left shoulder, and with a crack, the bone sword firmly cut into the Beaversaur's shoulder!

"Great, I finally hit it!" Although this strike was not fatal, Catherine was still happy to have hit her target.

As for Wenlong, who had been watching from the side, he silently drew his dual blades from his back and walked toward the river.

"A bit of a pity, but for a beginner, that was very well done... meow!"

The Beaversaur, having lost one paw and been cut on its shoulder, truly realized the strength of the woman in front of it.

The Beaversaur let out a painful howl and then swung its other, uninjured front paw at Catherine, forcing her to draw her sword to defend. Just as Catherine's sword was drawn, the Beaversaur, which seemed to be angry and ready to counterattack, suddenly retracted its paw and began to turn and run away frantically!

Although the Beaversaur's left shoulder was injured, its speed was not slow as it ran frantically. More importantly, the place where the Beaversaur and Catherine were fighting was not far from the river. If it ran just over twenty meters, it could dive back into the water, and once in the water, Catherine would be helpless against the Beaversaur!

Although Catherine's speed might be a bit faster than the injured Beaversaur, in such a short distance, could she really catch up to the Beaversaur trying to escape back into the water?

Catherine knew the answer was "no."

"Oh no, it's going to get away!" At this moment, Catherine thought, but she quickly changed her mind because she noticed a familiar figure standing by the river.

Standing by the river, with his back to the water, was Wenlong, holding dual blades. Wenlong raised one hand, pointing the blade at the Beaversaur, and drew a horizontal line in front of him with the other hand.

"Beast, if you dare cross this line... you'll regret it! Meow!" Wenlong said.

As if understanding what Wenlong was saying, the Beaversaur hesitated for a moment, then stopped and turned to face Catherine, who was charging at it.

Because it was smart, it knew which side was stronger and which was weaker, and it would attack the weaker side. That was all.

The Beaversaur, having turned around, launched its first attack by throwing a clod of earth at Catherine with its uninjured front paw. This time, with the experience from the previous attack, Catherine immediately did a side roll to dodge the flying clod of earth!

"I'm not so stupid as to fall for the same trick twice!" Catherine felt a bit smug, but less than a second later, another clod of earth flew at her. This time, it was thrown by the Beaversaur's tail.

Catherine dodged again with a side roll.

After dodging twice, Catherine maintained her position diagonally in front of the Beaversaur, as Wenlong had instructed. This forced the Beaversaur to readjust its body to throw another clod of earth, giving Catherine more time to react.

After missing twice with the clods of earth, the Beaversaur realized that this move was no longer effective. After the second miss, the Beaversaur immediately decided to run away again.

Of course, the Beaversaur did not choose to run toward the river where Wenlong was guarding, but instead ran into the forest where there were trees. Catherine, seeing the Beaversaur run again, immediately raised her sword and chased after it!

"This time, you think you can run? As long as you don't get to the river, I can catch you!"

Just as Catherine thought, it wasn't long before the faster Catherine closed the distance to just a few meters. With a bit more effort, Catherine could catch up to the Beaversaur and use her得意的纵斩 (vertical slash). This time, Catherine was confident that if the Beaversaur was hit by her vertical slash again, it would completely lose its fighting ability!

"Just a little more, just a little more, almost there..."

Just as Catherine was about to use her vertical slash, she suddenly heard a "snap—squeak—".

It was a strange sound, and at first, Catherine didn't react. But when she realized what was happening, she saw that a large tree was falling right above her.

"Beaversaurs can use tools to some extent in battle..." At this moment, Catherine suddenly remembered something Wenlong had said before...
