The group actually discovered the target thanks to Finley and just before they were about to move to another tree, Finley stopped the group.
"Wait. Let's not move first. I discover a huge movement on top of the tree right in front of us and I suspect that it is a snow ape."
The wind movement and other things that Finley sensed through the wind and the wood actually gave Finley a little guess.
There should be a lone snow ape over there because the large movement indicated that there was only one ape, not several.
If there were more than one snow ape, the large movement would be more frequent and the tree branches along with the leaves would tremble from time to time.
After meeting the group of several snow apes back then, the group had already discovered some traces and signs of snow apes.
For example, there would be scattered fruits here and there if the snow apes were there.
The footsteps of the snow apes would be visible on big branches, which means the snow apes had a great strength to make footsteps visible on tree branches.
The tree that Finley pointed out didn't have really visible signs, but they did find some marks and footsteps belonging to a snow ape, just not much.
The group believed Finley's judgment and they immediately surrounded the boy, wanting to discuss strategies to catch the snow ape.
"What do we do now? There is only one snow ape, but it should climb high, so we should land on a higher branch than the snow ape."
Celia spoke softly but she mentioned the crux of the problem in one casual speech.
If the snow ape climbed high and they could not climb higher, the snow ape could easily find the team and then it would be easier to attack them.
It was just that, they didn't know the exact location of the snow ape.
Ainsley probably knew the exact location through her 3D map ability, but she would not help the three students unless it was an emergency.
Thus, the group once again relied on Finley's wood manipulation ability to share five senses and precisely locate the position of the snow ape.
The snow ape should be at a much higher branch than the branch they were on because even though they were right across the snow ape's chosen tree...
They looked down at the opposite tree and still didn't see any shadow of the snow ape.
The information said that a teenager snow ape was around two meters tall, and the body was also quite big.
It should be eye-catching because the tree had sparse leaves and so, any movement was often visible to the naked eye.
It was just that, there were no signs of a snow ape anywhere, so the ape should have climbed higher than their current location.
The trees were tall and Finley had to spend a few more seconds to carefully locate the snow ape, especially when the snow ape should move around a lot and he might miss the movement of this ape when it touched the branches or the tree trunk.
It was not until Finley caught a glimpse of heavy movement against a certain branch far above their heads at the tree in front of them that he immediately told his teammates.
"There! The snow ape is indeed at a higher branch than our current location but the ape moves nimbly. We have to fly higher and then catch it all at once."
Finley had to concentrate on tracking down the moving snow ape but he also had to help the seniors to fly using his wind manipulation ability.
It would actually be a difficult thing for many ability users to divide their focus into two abilities, but Finley only frowned and looked a little bit uncomfortable.
He didn't say anything and just gritted his teeth as he helped the seniors fly to a higher branch.
At the same time, he kept an eye on the movement of the snow ape.
The branches didn't have eyes, so naturally, Finley could not see the target and could only sense it when the snow ape touched the branches or the trunk.
After all, the weight of the snow ape itself and the core strength would always press the branches and the trunk to a certain extent.
This suppression became the little hint that allowed Finley to track down the snow ape.
Ainsley and the other silently flew to a higher branch but they didn't move to the target's tree just yet.
If they went to that tree now, even if their position was higher than the snow ape and they had the terrain's advantage, the snow ape could still climb swiftly and then caught them off guard.
To be honest, the group didn't want to fight the snow ape in a melee combat because apes would always have more advantage in a melee combat, especially when they were on top of a tree.
It was better to snipe from a certain distance and avoid melee combat.
The team slowly flew to a higher branch and they kept an eye on the tree in front of them.
Finley naturally led the team to an angle where they could see the snow ape with their own eyes.
The altitude now was already high, so far away from the ground and soon, the surrounding was full of the sharp pine leaves here and there.
Looking at the surroundings, although the leaves were sparse, it still blocked the view to some extent.
Not to mention that the closer they were to the top of the tree, the more leaves there were.
