The Cat Owl suddenly spread its wings and took flight, letting out another piercing cry!
The gust from its wings sent snow cascading from the trees, while the threat carried in its cry was even stronger than before, accompanied by powerful Mental Pressure!
The branch had only struck a few feathers before freezing motionless in midair, as though it had always been that way.
It made everyone doubt their own eyes. Maybe it really was just a branch?
The startled Cat Owl was furious. It was extremely vengeful. After unleashing its intimidation, it angrily pounced on that "branch" and viciously tore it down with its powerful hooked claws!
Unexpectedly, it kept stretching longer and longer, reaching a full two meters before the Cat Owl unceremoniously tossed the two-meter-long "branch" down!
Everyone instinctively stepped back.
The "branch" landed in the snow with a smack and remained still for a long time.
After a while, the branch finally began to move—
It unfolded its six long, slender legs and slowly propped up its rod-like body. Raising its withered-branch-like forelimbs, it tried to climb back up the tree.
Because it moved as slowly as a sloth, everyone watched cautiously and did not act rashly.
To Feng Ling, the creature before her looked like an oversized Stick Insect. Every part of it resembled a branch, its camouflage taken to the extreme. As long as it stayed still in a tree, it was no different from a real branch.
Feng Ling lowered her head and asked Huangfu Miaomiao, "What is this thing called?"
"The display calls it a Night Spirit." Huangfu Miaomiao stared at the slowly moving Big Worm and frowned. "Its name is orange-red, which means it's an aggressive Contaminant."
"It looks like that, but its name is pretty elegant." Feng Ling snickered.
