Chapter 1245: Level 31
"This damned beast is going to get us killed," Alex complained for the millionth time in the last several days.
Sylas never really explained anything when he acted, but Alex had gotten a feel for the man. For Sylas not to come back after sending them up into the skies with the Hollow Wing, there was probably a reason for that.
Well, if Jala could hear Alex’s thoughts, he would have certainly rolled his eyes. This had nothing to do with Alex "having a feel" for Sylas. It was instead that it would take a complete idiot not to understand what was happening.
That was because, while Sylas hadn’t told them anything, the Hollow Wing had certainly gotten his orders—as Sylas could easily command it like he would any other Serpentes.
Since Sylas left them, the Hollow Wing had been sweeping the region quite systematically. They were high in the air, and it was using a very controlled flight path to move across the land.
From the conversation between Sylas and Old Brama before their entry, it was also obvious that they were looking for somebody. So, that was their task:
Find this person.
As for who it was, Jala felt that was pretty obvious too. She was probably related to the old man who had all but threatened Sylas to force his entry. So she was almost certainly a Unitaur.
While Megean would just as certainly be doing her best to hide that fact, all they really had to do was pick out the person that didn’t seem very Demonic.
Of course, there were a million different ways such a plan could go wrong. Megean could have advanced methods of disguising her. She could be hiding out in a place they’d never even spot from so high above. It was even possible that she could already be dead.
But Jala also wasn’t in a mood to go above and beyond, and it wasn’t as though they could step off the Hollow Wing’s back.
