Chapter 556 Miracle
Kathy couldn't help but laugh.
It wasn't that he was gloating over the deaths of the pirates.
He did indeed hope to reduce the number of enemies so that he could better control the situation, and the pirates were not worth the death of.
However, it was never something Cathy would do to be happy about death.
When he saw the dangerous, enormous monster, he immediately realized that the island was not as peaceful as it appeared.
It is precisely because it is dangerous that it is more likely to harbor secrets!
It seems that Kathy's months-long journey across several seas to get here was not in vain.
His original idea was simply to prevent the enemy from obtaining what they were trying to acquire.
However, Kathy's thoughts have changed.
Since this island is home to such terrifying monsters, it must also contain treasures commensurate with its level of danger!
If he could obtain it, perhaps he could change his weak state and find an opportunity to return to the Lines Plateau.
Kashi has been away from the plateau for far too long.
Henry is dead, and Natalie is nowhere to be found. Apart from Harriet, all the people Cassie cherishes are on the Lines Plateau.
Besides, that was his hometown.
Perhaps he should have gone back long ago.
Cassie gradually calmed down and looked at Harriet, only to see surprise on her face: "What's wrong, Harriet? Are you afraid of that giant beast?"
With a rumbling sound, the giant beast slowly shrank back to the ground.
Harriet shook her head. "It was really scary, but—Cassie, are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Cathy said calmly, shaking her head. "Harriet, thank you for getting me out of here. You saved me again."
“You know you don’t need to apologize for this,” Harriet said.
But you're always the one who helps me, and I never reciprocate—Kathy felt a little annoyed—at least let me express my gratitude to you!
But Cathy didn't elaborate further, instead pressing, "Harriet, if I'm not mistaken, did you sense the monster beforehand and deliberately lead me away?"
"Yes," Harriet nodded.
"So, if it reappears, you can sense it in advance and lead me away from the attack?"
Harriet thought for a moment, then nodded slightly: "If its appearance is always accompanied by earthquakes—I can only make a judgment by actively injecting power into the ground and feeling its presence."
So, is there a clear feature needed to remind her when she's channeling her power?
Although some risks still exist, this is enough.
Cathy snapped out of her thoughts and asked Harriet for her opinion on the monster, then looked toward the spot where the attack had just taken place.
Originally there were thirty-odd pirates, but now more than half of them have been lost.
Although these are all sea warriors who have fought their way through countless battles, and who may have faced life and death countless times.
But Kathy still saw a tremor of fear in their eyes.
"May the sea god protect us—what, what kind of monster is that?!"
A pirate fell to the ground, screaming in terror.
The hole the monster had crawled out of was filled in and leveled off again, apparently done on purpose by the monster.
If it weren't for the blood pools filled with liquid nearby, Cassie probably wouldn't have been able to find them so easily.
Kathy glanced around and found that Valentine was still alive.
Perhaps because he had been chasing Cathy earlier, he had run some distance away and therefore escaped without sustaining any harm.
Of course, this refers only to the physical body.
It is estimated that Valentine drew his knife and charged at Cassie when he saw Cassie and Harriet approaching.
Harriet immediately tried to stand in front of Cathy, but Cathy stopped her.
Kathy could tell that it was an angry look in her eyes.
But it is equally clear that Valentine wanted to question, not kill.
Unlike typical pirates, Valentine was not impulsive. He always remained calm in the face of danger and preferred to use his brain rather than act recklessly.
Although Kathy felt that drawing her sword so readily was somewhat immature.
But in the world of pirates, this action might save a lot of trouble, and from Cathy's perspective, she naturally couldn't be too critical.
And Kathy understood why Cyril had sent Valentine to assist her.
If Cyril had planned to scheme against Cathy from the beginning, he would have needed someone patient and patient, rather than a reckless man who would act impulsively and miss opportunities, in order to achieve his goal.
At least so far, Valentine's actions have largely aligned with these demands.
A rational person would understand that killing cannot solve any problems.
He's here to test me—Kathy thought—I'm sure I'm not in any danger.
As expected, although Valentine still held the knife high, he ultimately only lightly placed it on Cathy's shoulder, causing her no harm: "Don't think I wouldn't dare to kill you."
"I have no doubt about it," Casey replied calmly.
"What have you done?!" Valentine demanded.
"Me? If you're talking about that terrifying thing from earlier, then it really had nothing to do with me," Casey said, spreading her hands. "I didn't do anything."
As Mr. Mosley once said, perhaps a higher form of strength is being unfathomable to others, rather than possessing great power and wisdom.
Therefore, the more relaxed and composed Cathy appeared at this moment, the less Valentine dared to boss her around.
"What happened just now? You suddenly ran away, which clearly means you knew there was danger here," Valentine roared angrily.
"Shouldn't we run away when there's danger?" Casey retorted. "And you're right, we did know there was danger, but that's all we knew. The danger itself had nothing to do with us."
Valentine's lips moved, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Finally, he seemed to have found another excuse: "It was you who deliberately led us into danger!"
“I have no reason to put myself in danger,” Casey replied. “My only mistake was not telling you all to prepare together. But you have to understand, this is also my first time on this island, and I don’t know exactly what the dangers here are.”
In fact, even now, Kathy still doesn't know what that behemoth is.
Kathy took a deep breath and continued, "And I warned you from the beginning that this island is dangerous and asked you not to travel together."
Valentine's eyes widened in surprise: "You mean, that monster specifically attacks densely populated areas?"
"Probably," Casey said, seizing the opportunity to put pressure on you, "but you were very opposed at first."
Valentine remained silent for a long time before asking, "Then what should we do?"
Cathy raised her chin slightly: "Of course we'll continue exploring. We can't have come all this way for nothing."
Valentine squinted, but did not speak again.
He took the knife from Casey's shoulder and then walked toward a pirate who had lost both legs.
"Save me, please, I don't want to die—"
However, Valentine raised the knife with a cold look in his eyes.
Seeing this, the other party seemed to give up resistance, offering only a final plea: "Throw my body into the sea, send me to the underwater palace—"
