Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction.
Miel and Cotton had both entered the hidden passageway, covered by vines.
Miel helped Cotton sit down, then leaned out, shouting loudly towards Fluffy Ball, who was waving a plunder knife to draw the dragons' attention.
"Alright, Fluffy Ball! We're inside, meow! Come quickly, I'll cover you!"
As she spoke, Miel also took a boomerang off her back, swung it in a circle, and threw it out, hitting a Paralyzing Thief Dragon on the head with a 'smack'.
"Coming, meow!"
Fluffy Ball breathed a slight sigh of relief and immediately dashed out from the opening on all fours.
A few of the Paralyzing Thief Dragons were unwilling to give up and wanted to chase, but ultimately, none could run faster than the cats.
In the end, even the largest Paralyzing Thief Dragon, which had stayed on the periphery, howled, ordering its underlings not to waste effort on such small prey.
