While Chev's people were tense and on their guard, Francois was staring at Chev.
Right then, over a hundred Demon Wolves emerged from the woods, surrounding them.
The colors drained out of the people's faces when they saw the wolves.
Even though they had the anti-wolf powder coated on them, Francois was equally nervous when he saw the appearance of over a hundred Demon Wolves.
“Francois, w-we...” Brutus stammered.
“Stay calm. We have the anti-wolf powder. If the wolves attack, we'll just run away from them. With the anti-wolf powder, we'll be fine,” Francois said to Brutus and the others.
Jared and the rest were still useful in their quest for the Grus Divina, so Francois was not going to let them die any time soon.
The truth was, Francois had instructed Brutus to recruit so many people on the herb-gathering trip not because he wanted them to protect each other, but because he wanted to use them to deal with the bloodthirsty beast.
Francois had long known that the spirit beast guarding the Grus Divina was a bloodthirsty beast, and he had a way to deal with it.
When Chev saw the Demon Wolves eyeing them, he began to quiver uncontrollably.
“Charge!”
Before the Demon Wolves began to attack, Chev led his people running toward Jared's group.
Chev knew that there was no way they were going to survive an attack from those Demon Wolves.
Francois had never thought that Chev would lead his people toward his group, so he quickly leaped over to stand before Chev.
If Jared's group weren't still useful, Francois would not have bothered saving them.
“You deliberately led us into a pack of wolves. I hope you didn't think you could avoid the Demon Wolves' attack just because you can make a kind of powder that keeps them away. I'm going to stick closely to you and find out if those Demon Wolves are still going to attack us!”
