Francois and Brutus leaped up the next instant and pursued Jared. Now that the bloodthirsty beast was savoring its food, it couldn't spare any time to deal with others.
Seeing that, Chev also led his group and gave chase. He was considered Francois' partner now, and if they didn't work together, they would likely become meals for the bloodthirsty beast.
Jared, who was fleeing with all his might, sensed several presences closing in from behind. When he looked back, he was surprised to find Francois' group pursuing him.
Jared knew those people must be afraid he would harvest the Grus Divina, so they took the risk to chase after him despite the danger.
Jared was confident he could shake off Francois and the others, but the same couldn't be said for Ali, Percy, and the rest. At the speed they were traveling, Francois and his party would eventually catch up with them.
“Ali, hurry up and run. Don't look back, and don't stop,” Jared reminded Ali, then he slowed down and came to a halt.
He decided to stay behind to stall Francois and the others, buying time for Ali, Emily, and the rest to escape.
Francois and Brutus were puzzled to see Jared stop running and even voluntarily stand still.
“Why aren't you running?” Brutus asked curiously while gazing at Jared.
Jared curled his lips and said contemptuously, “I had to flee for my life when facing the bloodthirsty beast, but why should I run from you? With your capabilities, all of you are as insignificant as ants to me.”
If Jared could regain his peak strength, Francois and Brutus would indeed be as insignificant as ants to him. He wouldn't even bother sparing them a glance.
Even if Jared hadn't recovered, he could still regard Brutus and the others with disdain if the sword spirit had recovered.
Francois and Brutus were slightly dazed at Jared's remark. They didn't expect Jared to utter such audacious words.
