Khan put as much energy he could muster into his escape. He ignored his surroundings, the struggling girl in his arms, and her screams to focus on leaving the valley.

The mountains eventually ended, but Khan kept running. The encampment was one hour from the valley, but he planned to reach it in less than thirty minutes by maintaining his top speed. 

His sensitivity to mana tried to send information to his brain, but Khan didn't let anything disturb his concentration. He feared what Liiza's pleading would do to his mind if he let them inside, and the situation didn't allow mistakes. He couldn't waste Yeza's sacrifice.

Not many kept up with his speed. The adults behind Khan did their best to salvage what they could, so they slowed down their escape on purpose to help the injured and make sure that they weren't leading monsters to their encampment. Some higher-ups even stopped running after a while to deal with the few creatures still in pursuit.
