Guda had sprawled a lot of subconscious deterrents since the fight began. Ten percent of them were directed to her.
Ninety percent of them were meant to hide the Cannon Yelper.
In between her actions, she had been guiding the Cannon Yelper out with a food attached to a seamless string that only she could see. That string was strong enough to hold two tons of boulders so she wasn't afraid of a random attack bruising it.
That string was held tightly on the clenched fingers of her fox-hand gesture. As for how she managed to set it up, she had been putting one chunk of wrapped food behind the boulder from back then, out of the Yelper's vision. Of course, the food had been already enchanted with a specific subconscious deterrent that only she could choose who was able to detect it.
