Based on the current situation, Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle probably have yet to realise that the Leaf-eared Cat hid itself in the tree after unleashing its innate skill.
Through Giles' pensive expression and the constantly circling Metal-feathered Eagle above the arena, Annie, who was standing on the other side of the battlefield, confirmed this information.
However, at this rate, this is also not a solution.
Annie had just relaxed, but she was faced with a new problem.
Although Annie's spiritual perception was far inferior to that of the Epic-rank Beast Tamer, Hash,
as the Beast Tamer of the Leaf-eared Cat, she could also sense the depletion of her spirit beast's spiritual energy.
Although the Leaf-eared Cat still has a lot of spiritual energy left, it no longer has much of an advantage in terms of spiritual energy compared to the Metal-feathered Eagle now.
Furthermore, after the Leaf-eared Cat took the initiative to unleash a fierce attack and narrowly dodged the Metal-feathered Eagle's sudden counterattack, other than the consumption of spiritual energy, the Leaf-eared Cat's physical strength consumption is also much greater than the Metal-feathered Eagle.
Annie, whose expression had turned serious, looked up slightly.
She looked at the Metal-feathered Eagle that was still circling above the arena, searching for the Leaf-eared Cat.
After a round of head-on battle with the Leaf-eared Cat, the rise and fall of the Metal-feathered Eagle's chest is still very gentle.
From this, it can be seen that the Metal-feathered Eagle's breathing is very stable.
Furthermore, from the way it is methodically searching for the Leaf-eared Cat in the arena, it seems to be very calm.
It didn't panic because it wasn't able to find any traces of the Leaf-eared Cat.
As for my Leaf-eared Cat…
At the thought of this, Annie looked away from the Metal-feathered Eagle that was circling in the air.
Then, she furtively looked towards a tree in the battlefield.
On the tree, there was a thick branch with an especially dense "leaf".
Although there was not much wind blowing in the evaluation section of Starlux Gym, for some reason, that particular "leaf" shook much more than the other leaves around it.
Annie knew very well that the "leaf" was the Leaf-eared Cat who had activated its innate skill and was sitting on the tree branch.
It was breathing slowly.
Compared to the Metal-feathered Eagle, the Leaf-eared Cat's breathing is much more rapid.
Furthermore, its body is moving along with the rhythm of its breathing.
Even if Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle have yet to discover that the Leaf-eared Cat is actually hiding on a tree branch, when the Leaf-eared Cat breathes, its body fluctuates so much. Sooner or later, they will notice something unusual on the tree.
Besides, it is impossible for the Leaf-eared Cat to continuously deplete its spiritual energy to activate its innate skill, 'Cloak of Nature', to remain hidden.
But if I get the Leaf-eared Cat to stop using its innate skill which can keep it hidden…
In that case, even if the Metal-feathered Eagle circling above the arena doesn't fly lower than the treetops in the forest, Giles, who is standing opposite me, will also notice the location of the Leaf-eared Cat… Wait!
Annie kept thinking about how to solve the problem at hand.
While she was pondering, she suddenly captured an extremely important piece of information that she had not used before.
The Metal-feathered Eagle has the advantage in combat in the air. It will definitely not 'take the initiative' to reduce its flying height to below the crown of the tree!
This means that the battle environment that I specially chose from the start was the most suitable for the Leaf-eared Cat!
Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle know very well that fighting in the forest is very disadvantageous for them!
It is also because of this that I had previously made the Leaf-eared Cat, which is three ranks higher in combat effectiveness, take the initiative to attack the Metal-feathered Eagle.
The goal is to drag the Metal-feathered Eagle from the aerial battles it's good at to the forest, where it's advantageous for the Leaf-eared Cat, to fight and try to end the battle as soon as possible using this method.
However, I forgot something very important previously!
Giles can get the Metal-feathered Eagle to fly at a high altitude and remain in the air above the arena, waiting for me to get the Leaf-eared Cat to attack.
Similarly, I can also let the Leaf-eared Cat hide in the forest and wait for Giles to let the Metal-feathered Eagle attack!
After realizing this, Annie, who was gradually turning serious, suddenly thought of a solution to the current problem.
Since the current situation is disadvantageous to the Leaf-eared Cat, there is no need for me to be in a hurry to get the Leaf-eared Cat to initiate the attack like before!
Furthermore, if we are really going to have a prolonged battle, as a plant-type spirit beast with strong recovery abilities, my Leaf-eared Cat will have a greater advantage than the Metal-feathered Eagle, which is a metal-type spirit beast!
Judging from the Metal-feathered Eagle's previous performance, its metal-type skill that shoots out metal feathers should be its most powerful and effective long-range attack.
However, due to the limitation of the number of metal feathers, Giles won't let the Metal-feathered Eagle shoot the metal feathers at will.
Unless the same thing happens again, the Metal-feathered Eagle will not suddenly shoot out so many metal feathers.
If that's the case, I can actually take advantage of the distance between the Leaf-eared Cat and the Metal-feathered Eagle to stop the latter from using its innate skill!
As she pondered, Annie's thoughts became clearer.
A perfect strategy began to gradually form in her mind.
Even if I let the Leaf-eared Cat reveal its location, the Metal-feathered Eagle will not be able to pose a threat to the Leaf-eared Cat as it has to fly at a high altitude in the air.
At this distance, the 'Green Leaf Flying Daggers' that my Leaf-eared Cat suddenly throws will be caught by the Metal-feathered Eagle and easily avoided.
But if the Metal-feathered Eagle shoots its metal feathers at the Leaf-eared Cat, who is on the tree branch, the Leaf-eared Cat will also be able to react quickly and dodge the Metal-feathered Eagle's attack.
Besides, in this way, it can also deplete the Metal-feathered Eagle's spiritual energy and the number of metal feathers it can shoot.
Under these circumstances, if the Metal-feathered Eagle wants to cause any damage to the Leaf-eared Cat, it has no choice but to reduce its flying height.
Then, it will strengthen its four eagle claws by activating its metal-type innate skill, 'Metalize', and fight the Leaf-eared Cat in close combat.
Just like how the Leaf-eared Cat doesn't have the ability and means to remain in the air, these tall and dense trees in the forest will also restrict the flight of the Metal-feathered Eagle!
Once the Metal-feathered Eagle lowers its flying height to below the treetop of the forest, it will enter the Leaf-eared Cat's homeground battlefield!
As for how to force the Metal-feathered Eagle to lower its flying height and attack the Leaf-eared Cat…
That's a much simpler problem.
