Mia and the others quickly reacted and also ran in random directions of the forest.
"Humph! Do you think you can escape this way? You idiots, split into groups of two and go after one each. As for the boy, leave him to me" the female hunter also ordered her minions before rushing towards Alex.
The cloaked people did not hesitate and quickly grouped up and chased after Mia and the rest. The beasts who had escaped the effect of the nightmare thorn also ran after them when they saw the humans fleeing. The first batch of beasts that had come out from the blockage were all caught in the musty air of the purple pollen and were currently being pulled to the main body of the nightmare thorn.
Alex's judgment was right, the purple pollen would not spread far from its main body, so they could fight without worrying about suddenly losing the ability to move.
