Since the other party was still within the hunting grounds, this was simple. As long as they kept shrinking the encirclement, they would likewise suppress its room to move. In the end, it would inevitably be forced to show itself because its range of activity had become too narrow.
To make the hidden creature lower its guard, Angel had Swift Spirit remain still for the moment while they continued forward at their previous pace.
At first, the other party had not noticed that Angel had set up a defensive net behind it, so it continued moving slowly.
But as Angel and the others advanced faster and faster, it sensed that something was wrong and began moving quickly.
At the same time, Wood Spirit wrote a line of words in Angel's palm with tiny vines: It is running.
While Wood Spirit leisurely wrote out that line, Angel vaguely felt as though something had bumped into the defensive net behind him. He glanced back, but saw nothing.
At this point, after writing the previous line, Wood Spirit began writing another: It hit it, then ran back.
Only upon seeing this line did Angel become certain that the hidden creature had indeed struck the defensive net earlier. It was simply that his reaction had been far too slow. As for waiting for Wood Spirit's judgment? That was even less feasible. By the time Wood Spirit finished writing that line, several seconds had already passed since Angel felt the defensive net being struck.
Thus, Wood Spirit's words could only serve as a reference for old news being retold. It was basically impossible for it to provide live commentary.
Since the other party had already sensed something was amiss, Angel no longer had Swift Spirit remain motionless. Instead, he had it carry a defensive net
