Chapter 552 - 260 The Living Warship
The humanoid figure flashed by, and Li Yelai immediately became alert. It was definitely not an illusion!
"Did you see that?" Li Yelai quickly asked.
"Keep your voice down, what did you see?" Jing Lin, still vigilant of the flesh mutations that had just fallen asleep, turned back and asked.
"Above us, there was someone... no! It’s more accurate to say there was a humanoid object, just now, peering down at us inside the bridge. It vanished in the blink of an eye," said Li Yelai.
"Didn’t notice anything... are you sure you didn’t see it wrong?" Jing Lin asked.
"No mistake. Even if I’d seen it wrongly, that wouldn’t make an object simply disappear," Li Yelai replied, "There must still be something movable there, and it is humanoid."
"In this environment, it’s very difficult for humans to survive. Could it be a Returning Soul or some other parasite?" Jing Lin looked up toward the high bridge, "But it saw us and didn’t attack."
"We can presume for now that it’s not in league with the flesh mutations," Li Yelai analyzed, "It also doesn’t want the flesh mutations to discover it."
"That’s good then, at least it won’t take the initiative to attack," Jing Lin muttered.
The two set off again.
Jing Lin led the way, his left eye flickering as the ’Extreme Detail’ ability kicked in; any change, be it flying dust or sliding screws, would be immediately detected by him.
Meanwhile, Li Yelai followed half a step behind on his side, ready to support Jing Lin the moment he launched an attack.
