In an instant, three individuals swiftly decided that they must flee now.
It wasn't that they feared death, but rather that they could not afford such a senseless sacrifice.
They needed to survive and return to their tribe to report what had happened.
Even if they were to die, they had to convey this information back; otherwise, their people would miss the opportunity entirely.
The greatest loss would be if they died along with their kin and brothers.
Seeing that these people were desperate to leave, the Zebra Tribe became intensely anxious.
They had finally gained an opportunity to teach these people a lesson, and if they let them escape now, wouldn't all their previous efforts have been in vain?
"We can't let them get away."
One of them shouted, wanting to pursue.
But he was restrained by someone next to him; they all knew that as long as John was here, they could not possibly fail.
