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.
To acquire the Grus Divina, the bloodthirsty beast had to be eliminated first.

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 their feet, then slowly enter the scorched land apprehensively.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey 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.
