During the descent, any jump would inevitably leave him suspended in the air longer.
Under normal circumstances, Wang Zong would never have been so reckless. But losing half an hour had made him frantic, and Nameless had yet to appear. He suspected that Nameless had either never intended to come to this mountain or lacked the ability to reach it.
This was not a groundless guess, but a reasoned deduction.
His initial form had been a scorpion, so Nameless's initial form could not have been much better. It might have been a spider, a centipede, or perhaps even a rat.
Assuming Nameless's innate ability was Time Reversal, killing prey would be far more difficult for him than it was for Wang Zong.
Wang Zong possessed Horse-Toppling Poison and could kill prey in one strike. Although Nameless's talent was powerful, it was weak in terms of the overall game, because it made the early stages of becoming stronger much harder for him.
Furthermore, Nameless had already used Time Reversal once. It was not hard to guess that the area around his birthplace was extremely dangerous, perhaps with some powerful predator lurking nearby.
Nameless might even still be troubled over how to hunt it down, without having figured out the game's exact mechanics yet.

That was why he had risked exposing himself by racing down the mountain at full speed.
But just as he leaped from one boulder
