Instinctively, the Venatosaurus pack knew that the V-rex had likely smelled the bloodshed from their skirmish with Grimmel, and thus screeched menacingly at the larger predator, trying to get the intruder out of their territory. This V-rex wouldn't be deterred, though; besides, it hadn't come alone, as the Venatosaurs soon learned when a shorter, subadult Vastatosaurus rex snaked its way into the standoff! Seeing that his opponents were preoccupied with each other, and too wounded to put up much of a fight against any of them, Grimmel waited until the Venatosaurs charged at the two V-rexes before making a beeline for safety as quietly as he could!
As the noise from the clash between the predators grew into little more than a whisper, Grimmel looked around for something to patch up his wounds. He managed to get his limbs taken care of through using some of the greenery surrounding him, but before the veteran hunter could tend to the stab mark in his chest, another, more battle-worn, male Vastatosaurus rex lunged at Grimmel with a wild roar, coming dangerously close towards chomping down on its prey with its spikey teeth! The pale-skinned dragon hunter barely evaded the vicious jaws before making a full-on run for it; however, the V-rex, despite its massive size, managed to keep pace with his prey. Grimmel tried to lose his pursuer by frantically zigzagging between several living and fallen trees. However, the Vastatosaurus' gaps between its hips and ribs enabled the apex predator to weave in between the standing tress with little difficulty, while it's enlarged, wide feet enabled it to smash through the logs that lied in its path, only falling slightly behind.
As the V-rex's pace started to quicken, Grimmel finally grew desperate enough to use his crossbow, firing another Deathgripper venom-infused dart into his pursuer. However, due to how thick the V-rex's skin was, the dart did little to slow its advance, only aggravating the hulking theropod into persisting in its pursuit as it herded Grimmel towards a more deadly section of the jungle. As the infamous poacher started to wonder when how much longer the V-rex could last, he barely slowed to a halt as he suddenly found himself looking down into a foreboding abyss of one of Skull Island's deep chasms! Unbeknownst to Grimmel, he had played right into the V-rex's claws, as in the time it took for Grimmel to stop to notice the chasm, the V-rex managed to close the distance between itself and its prey, forcing Grimmel to make a split-second choice: should he try to take his chances with this gargantuan dinosaur, or should he descend into the pit and try to make it to safety from there? Recalling that his crossbow had little effect on the V-rex (due to its size making the venom work much more slowly), Grimmel jumped into the chasm just as the V-rex's bone-crushing jaws snapped around where he had previously stood!
