Chapter 316 Familiar Faces

The feeling at that moment sent chills down Milo's spine.

He didn't know what Grasso had seen, but he was certain she had encountered something extremely terrifying.

She quickly held her breath and stopped any movement that might make a sound, even though her body was trembling uncontrollably.

Milo felt all of this deeply.

……

"Help me hold this up, something's wrong."

Mylod put on the mask.

Without a word, old Theon drew his curved machete and handed it to Milo, then took the Whitworth rifle off his back with one hand and headed for the highest point in the area.

The terrain had been thoroughly scouted before the operation, so the two didn't need to waste any more words and quickly split up to carry out their respective tasks.

Once Theon reached the high point on the hillside, he fired a shot towards the west side of the dock without saying a word, hitting the oil drums on that side with perfect accuracy. The kerosene that sprayed out over a large area ignited the moment it came into contact with the spark.

The shouts of union members immediately rang out from the dock.

They rushed to the location of the fire to help extinguish it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Milo quickly jumped over the east gate and headed straight for the location of the two cargo ships.

……

On the cargo ship's deck, they were carefully moving their bodies backward.

She hadn't intended to disturb the thing in the cabin, but Old Theon's shot in the distance shattered the silence of the dock. The continuous snoring in the cabin stopped, and Grasso could hear heavy footsteps moving on the wooden deck.

She dared not stay there any longer.

...

Just as Milo arrived at the ship's dock, the crescent moon emerged from the clouds, casting a pale gray light on everything in the dock.

Within his field of vision, Milo saw that Grasso on the cargo ship's deck had been forced to the very edge, with nowhere left to retreat; one more step back would mean a drop of several meters to the sea.

And closing in on Grasso was a creature that Milo knew very well...

Its body was much more robust than it had been a few months ago, and its length had increased by at least a meter. Its hunched back, covered with countless bone spurs, almost formed the same arc as the moon high in the sky.

The grotesque eyeballs covering that ugly head were all reflecting the moonlight, and each one was constantly rotating in a different direction.

Unlike its bald head a few months ago, grayish-white hair has now grown on its scalp. Some of this hair is growing from its eye sockets, and it is coarse and sparse. Some of it is even growing on its eyeballs...

Its skeleton was thicker than Milo remembered, and its scythe-like claws were longer. It also looked as if someone had specially polished it to remove the bone spurs that affected its swinging range.

……

It's that hybrid from the barren mountains south of the town of Ickham.

The son of a raven.

A hybrid creature that inherited his human genes and the tainted bloodline of ancient beings.

In Ickham, it caused Milo a great deal of trouble, and was eventually taken away by the Solomons while severely wounded, and then disappeared without a trace.

Milo never expected to see this monster again in Nanwei City.

……

"Wow, it's been so long!"

Milo tapped a wooden crate next to him with his machete, making a noise to get the hybrid's attention.

On the deck, the hybrid, who had been sniffing the human scent in the air, suddenly turned around when he heard a noise and saw Milo standing on the shore.

Its eyes suddenly became very complicated.

Of course, the gaze referred to here is limited to the eyes on its face; the ones on its head are still glancing around aimlessly. The hybrid was stunned for a few seconds, its attention completely drawn to Milo, and it no longer searched for the strange human scent on the deck.

Milo found its reaction somewhat strange. Logically, shouldn't it have pounced on its old enemy like a madman the moment it saw it? Moreover, Milo was already prepared for a second battle with the other party.

The hybrid was stunned.

Moreover, it displayed a very ferocious expression on its face, an expression that did not stem entirely from anger, but also contained some element of fear.

It harbored some fear of Milo.

It even showed a hint of hesitation, a human-like expression, which was the first time Milo had ever seen a hybrid with such a rich range of facial expressions.

"Ok?"

Milo frowned.

"What do you mean? Have you finally gotten a brain?"

In his mind, the hybrid was a pure killing machine, with an intelligence level basically no different from that of a slightly smarter primate. Moreover, it definitely harbored resentment towards Milo, without a doubt. Don't forget that Milo was the one who personally destroyed the plantation in its nest.

But for some reason, after seeing Milo, it actually managed to control itself...

……

Milo raised a hand, signaling Grasso, who was standing on the deck, not to move.

He stubbornly approached the cargo ship.

Grasso was less than two or three meters away from the hybrid, and the hybrid could easily cut her in two with a single swipe of its claws. Milo had to make the hybrid move away a little.

...

"Hey, it looks like Raven has taught you a lot lately. Has he taught you how to talk?"

Milo walked toward the cargo ship, carrying a machete.

The people of Grasso were terrified.

She didn't know what gave Milo the courage to walk towards the monster with a dirty, broken knife.

Although Grasso desperately hoped that Milo would appear before her when the monster blocked her path at the beginning, she regretted it after Milo appeared and wished that Milo would escape quickly.

even……

She was even willing to sacrifice her own life to buy Milo time to escape if the monster attacked her at that moment.

Although the idea was extremely absurd, it did indeed appear in Grasso's mind for a moment.

Even she herself didn't realize how crazy this idea was.

……

Grasso stared wide-eyed, barely daring to breathe, frantically gesturing to Milo to stay away.

But Milo didn't have time to pay attention to her.

Raven sent his own son and a group of top hunters to Nanwei City, and Milo himself was also on the kill list.

Now that we've blocked the hybrid here, if we can eliminate it before the other Spirit Visionist appears, it would effectively halve their combat strength. Why not?

Although this move is very risky.

But Milo wasn't fighting alone; he had a sniper rifle set up behind him.

……

His hand, which was suspended in the air, suddenly twitched its index finger.

The next second, gunshots rang out from a distant high point. The bullets pierced the cargo ship's mooring lines, and the hoisted sails crashed down with a loud bang.

And at that very moment, Milo's pace suddenly quickened!
