Although its flesh was extremely poisonous, and the hallucinations induced by its aura extremely tricky, the Hallucigenia Mortalis still never really dared to go too deep into the core region, and remained mostly in the outer edges of the zone.
After all, even if killing it wasn't beneficial, some stronger beasts might still do it simply due to it encroaching their territory, or maybe even for entertainment.
However, while trying to escape from death, the strange creature didn't care about how deep into the core region it went. Even if it encountered some stronger beast, all the better. It might help take care of the maniac following it with murderous intentions, and it might even have a chance to escape!
