Chapter 500 Cat Agent
A few minutes later, the three cats sneaked around the patrolling national warriors and returned to the Nine Snakes City.
In the long-term pit with the Blue Star, the little cats may not have mastered other hunting skills very well, but they are more and more proficient in the empty soul possession used to increase the success rate of sneak attacks.
It can only be said that interest is the best teacher.
"Don't worry, we'd better find out the situation inside first."
(=ˇˇ=)
After carefully sneaking into the palace, Huiyuan Meow stopped Meowx and Klee who were about to go to Hancock in a hurry.
After all, even if the empty soul possession trick can block the observation Haki, there is still a risk of being accidentally seen by the guards, so it is better to be cautious.
Deeply influenced by Xie Wen, Huiyuan Meow patted the white bat lying on his shoulder.
"Vermouth, send a clone to explore the way first, meow."
"Chi~"
Vermouth responded, and then a smaller bat separated from her body, flapping its wings and flying towards the depths of the palace.
"Are you too cautious, meow?"
(ω)
The impatient Meowx swung her tail and said impatiently: "Even if we are accidentally discovered, it's not a big deal."
Grayfield glanced at her and said lightly: "It's really not a big deal to be discovered by them, but Sister Huamei won't let us go easily after that, meow."
The little crazy cat who was not afraid of anything except Xiang Feihu immediately shut up.
Klee, who was nodding her head in agreement with Meowx, also calmed down instantly...
"Sister Ai is right, it's better to be careful meow! Brother Xie Wen also said that we should act steadily meow!"
(=`ω=)
So the three kittens quietly nestled in a corner not far from the entrance of the palace, quietly waiting for the return of Vermouth's clone.
The empty soul possession belongs to a relatively advanced power system in the world of Monster Hunter. Vermouth, who was "born" in the world of pirates and whose main body is still a dead thing, naturally cannot learn it.
However, as an "animal" transformed from a "dead thing", it also has a special advantage, that is, when Vermouth turns on elementalization and semi-elementalization, it can completely eliminate its own biological reactions such as breathing and heartbeat, returning to the essence of a "dead thing"... although it can move.
In addition, it has only split a clone out now, so its presence is even weaker. This state is actually somewhat similar to Sharmi's "Moonless Thundercloud", but "Moonless Thundercloud" is more complicated in terms of technology, and its concealment is naturally higher than that of Vermouth's simple method.
But even so, using Vermouth's clone for reconnaissance is enough. As long as its clone does not actively launch an attack, it is still difficult for ordinary observation Haki to notice it...
A certain Canglanxing who has been hit by Huiyuan Meow several times can testify.
Moreover, even if the clone of Vermouth is discovered, it doesn't matter. The death of the clone will not have any impact on it. It's just that Huiyuan Meow did not hide the existence of Vermouth before, and kept it on her body as usual, so if it is discovered, it may follow the clues to find her here.
Fortunately, Vermouth was still very competitive, or rather, the level of observation Haki of Boa Hancock's two sisters was just so-so. After Vermouth's clone flew around the palace, it did not attract anyone's attention and successfully returned to Haibara Meow.
"Chi."
After retracting her clone, Vermouth shook her wings, and before Haibara Meow asked, she took the initiative to raise a paw and made a "V" gesture.
"There are only two guards in the entire palace?"
(=⊙ω⊙=)
Haibara Meow blinked twice in disbelief.
Then, she nodded as a matter of course, "That's right, if it's according to the rumor about the curse, it's true that other guards can't be arranged here."
"Chi."
At this time, Vermouth suddenly shook her head again, and then separated two gas clones from her body.
Then, after twisting and deforming for a while, the two clones barely formed two shapes that looked like some kind of animal.
After gaining the power of the White Bat Fruit, it, whose main body is gas, lost the ability to transform freely that gas should have, and could not create any shape other than a bat.
Shirley and Jean were the same in this regard.
So even though Vermouth had tried very hard, Haibara Meow could only see these two animals, one with four legs and one with wings.
But she had understood what Vermouth meant.
"You mean, in addition to the two guards, there are two animals around them, meow?"
"Chirp!"
Vermouth nodded repeatedly.
"They are lying, meow!" Meowx excitedly shook her tail, "If there is a Gorgon curse, it should be effective for other animals, meow!"
And Haibara Meow nodded thoughtfully, "Speaking of which, when we met the Nine Snake Pirates at sea, there seemed to be a black leopard on their ship, meow..."
As for the one with wings, the little kitten had no clue for the time being.
But this is not important. What is important is that the existence of these two animals further proves that the so-called curse is probably fake.
After confirming that there were only two people and two animals guarding the palace, the three cats immediately took action.
They first sprinkled the deodorant that Huiyuan Meow had made before on their bodies to prevent the black panther from smelling their scent, and then maintained the state of being possessed by the empty soul, and under the guidance of Vermouth, they sneaked towards the room guarded by Boa Santasonia and Boa Marigold.
With the cats' sufficient preparation, the two Boa sisters who were guarding, as well as the black panther and eagle beside them, naturally could not discover the arrival of the three cats.
Of course, they could not enter the main door blocked by the two sisters, but this was not a big problem for the cats. They soon came to the window under the other wall.
Then...
Klee Meow summoned a ball of blue flame, and easily and without making any sound, burned a hole in the window made of wood and cloth that was large enough for Fey to pass through...
Well, except Kaido Meow.
Then, Kleemeow jumped lightly and jumped into the hole she had burned. After landing silently, the little puppet simply looked around and immediately noticed the huge bathtub in the center of the room with a large amount of steam rising, and the tall figure looming in the steam.
Since everyone had to be driven out of the city every time she took a bath, and there were two sisters guarding outside the room, Hancock naturally did not need to set up any cover in the room.
Therefore, when Kleemeow approached, Hancock's figure appeared in front of her without any cover.
Spark Knight's good luck came into play again. At this time, Hancock not only had her back to her, but also stood up and lifted up her hair that was covering her back.
So, the little puppet easily saw the thing on her back that she had always wanted to hide -
It was a pattern composed of a large circle and four small triangles, like the paw prints of some animal.
