Chapter 2541 Scout Ahead
Jared glanced at Percy, hinting at the latter to keep quiet as it would be best for them not to draw attention at that
moment.
“This is the place. The Grus Divina is a mystical herb that absorbs the essences of heaven and earth. It's difficult for
other plants to survive within a few hundred meters radius around it,” Francois said with a gleam of excitement in
his eyes as he looked at the scorched earth in front of him.
Upon hearing that, everyone tensed up since they knew a bloodthirsty beast guarded the area around the Grus
Divina.
“Francois, since we're here, let's figure out how to get rid of that bloodthirsty beast. Otherwise, we'll become its
prey as soon as we step on this land,” Chev suggested to Francois.

Francois smiled faintly and uttered confidently, “Since I've come here, I must already have a way to deal with the
bloodthirsty beast.”
“We don't even know where the bloodthirsty beast is hiding, so how are we supposed to deal with it?” Chev asked.
“That's easy. I brought all these people to lure out the bloodthirsty beast.” Francois turned to the villagers and
randomly pointed at two of them. “You two, go scout ahead.”
The two villagers who were selected were scared out of their wits. They dropped to their knees, their foreheads
covered in sweat. “W-We dare not. Please spare us.”
“You're worthless to me if you don't go, and I don't keep things that have no value by my side.” After finishing his
sentence, Francois swung his palm.
The next second, the two villagers died on the spot, bleeding from their orifices.
Everyone was stunned by that scene. They had thought they had struck gold, but it turned out they were mere
cannon fodder.
“You two, go.” Francois pointed at another two villagers.
The two people who were chosen trembled all over in fear. Ultimately, they could only beg Brutus for mercy. “Dr.
Weiss, please save us. We've known each other for a long time. Please help us.”
The villagers weren't acquainted with Francois, but they knew Brutus, so they pleaded with him for help.
Brutus' response was unexpected. “All you need to do is scout ahead. We're not sending you to your deaths. Once
you lure the bloodthirsty beast out, Francois and I will handle the beast. Don't be scared. But if you don't go, I
should warn you Francois has a bad temper. You've also witnessed the fate of those two just now,” Brutus
threatened the two villagers.
Listening to Brutus' words and glancing at their friends who had died tragically, the two villagers could only get to

They moved slowly and shuddered all over. However, as the two ventured a distance without anything happening,
they began to relax.
“Francois, nothing is happening. Could the bloodthirsty beast be sleeping?” Brutus whispered when he saw the
bloodthirsty beast had yet to show up.
As soon as he finished talking, two agonized shrieks rang out. Immediately afterward, the ground shook, and two
tentacles emerged from underground, wrapping tightly around the two villagers.
Everyone saw their bodies rapidly become limp as their blood was swiftly drained through the tentacles.
In less than a minute, the villagers were completely lifeless.
However, even after the villagers' deaths, the crowd still couldn't see the bloodthirsty beast, only its two tentacles.
“How are we supposed to deal with the bloodthirsty beast if it's hiding underground?” Chev said with a frown,
seeing that the bloodthirsty beast wasn't showing itself but had instead burrowed itself underground.
