Chapter 555 Laughter
Sometimes, Harriet really felt that Cathy seemed to be suppressing her emotions.
However, she could also see Cathy's strong sense of pride.
If you try to persuade him to rely on her more or to learn to relax, it will probably backfire.
That's why Harriet is very worried about Cathy.
If he were to encounter something he couldn't solve that day, he might really break down.
How can we help him then?
Harriet thought for a long time and realized that there was nothing she could do besides keep her company.
This year, Kathy will turn seventeen.
Harriet could see that he had matured a lot since then.
However, Harriet grew up just as he did.
She will also turn twenty years old.
Thinking about it this way, time really flies.
In her hometown, if a woman is still unmarried at the age of twenty, it will inevitably cause her parents worry.
Unfortunately, Harriet's parents died, and apart from herself, no one cared about her future husband.
She also treated this as a gamble, placing all her bets on Cathy.
Kathy is a kind person, Harriet thought, and he won't let me down.
But what if?
Harriet shook her head frantically and berated herself for being a big, stupid fool, telling herself not to think about it anymore.
She will always be three years older than Cathy, and perhaps always more mature as well.
To be honest, from the perspective of romantic feelings, Harriet really enjoys the feeling of being in control.
But she also understands that boys tend to mature later, but they also mature faster.
Kathy is at this stage now, and perhaps one day his thoughts will become so profound that even Harriet will not be able to fathom them.
But if that's what he wants, Harriet hopes he can succeed.
At this moment, he led a team, heading deeper into Fallen Feather Island.
As for what they are looking for, even Cathy herself probably doesn't know.
Not long after setting off, Casey requested that the team be divided into five groups and sent out to explore in different directions.
The pirates immediately objected, arguing that Kathy was simply trying to divert their forces.
In fact, Harriet thought that Cathy's intentions were too obvious.
But Kathy refused to back down and insisted on splitting up the search, arguing that this would improve the efficiency of the search.
A large and cumbersome team is definitely a burden for exploration.
Although Harriet lacked the ability to judge whether Cathy's words were correct or not, at least the attitude he gave was quite convincing.
Hmm—I really wish he could be tougher on me.
In the end, the pirates agreed with his opinion.
They were divided into five teams, each with about thirty people.
As for what they were looking for, Cathy explained: "Caves, secret chambers, sculptures, symbols, everything that is not naturally formed. Of course, the most important thing is the Stone-skinned Parrot."
Do these things really exist on the island? Kathy has absolutely no idea.
But for the Stone-skinned Parrot, Casey definitely has some basis for his claim.
Even Harriet had heard of the legends of the Stone-skinned Parrot.
It was a huge, all-knowing parrot.
However, it became extinct before history, but there is only a rumor that the last exotic bird, the parrot, remains on Feathered Island.
But if none of these are found, their fate will likely be grim.
Harriet's abilities can be better utilized on land.
"Life Never Ends" gave her the power to grasp the essence of life, a power that is effective for any life form.
However, controlling plants is much easier for Harriet.
Perhaps it's simply because plants don't have the same complex and diverse glands as animals.
However, while it is easier to master, the cost is that the upper limit is also not high.
Using plants directly in combat is actually quite ineffective.
Faced with more than thirty people, Harriet would probably be helpless.
Kathy also had a sword in her hand, which seemed to be a rare and precious sword.
He practiced swordsmanship when he was a child, and now that he's grown up, he might be able to handle two enemies.
Even so, the two of them alone probably wouldn't be able to escape from their grasp.
Besides, just as Cathy told her.
Killing these pirates would be of no benefit, and they would need these sailors and their ships to leave the area and return to the mainland.
The predicament of being caught in the middle put Harriet under immense pressure from Cathy.
After arriving on the island, Harriet never saw Cathy smile again.
Does Casey have any backup plans?
They moved over the island.
There are no roads here, and the ground is covered with weeds and bushes, making it extremely difficult to move around.
All sorts of tiny insects fly around in the woods; it's so annoying.
This is a vibrant island.
If Harriet can live here long-term, her power will probably increase very quickly.
As she walked and observed, she soon discovered that there seemed to be a strange phenomenon here.
Although the trees are exceptionally tall, their crowns appear remarkably small, showing no intention of extending outwards.
Harriet observed carefully and noticed again that the canopy did seem to be growing outwards.
As Harriet passed below, she could see that the overall outline of the tree canopy edge was a neat concave surface.
If there are other trees nearby, the concave surfaces of the canopies of two trees can even be combined to form a complete large circle.
It was as if it had been cut vertically by some giant, round object.
A sense of dread washed over Harriet—what could have caused this strange phenomenon on this isolated, deserted island?
Could it be that strange creatures, or even magical beasts, that she had never heard of before live here?
Just then, Harriet felt a strong tremor from the ground.
Here it comes again—on average, this kind of tremor occurs on this island every so often.
But this time, the tremors were particularly strong.
Based on Harriet's conclusion, a bad feeling suddenly welled up in her heart.
Harriet swallowed hard and immediately extended her power to the ground.
Her powers are extremely sensitive to living things, and if her guess is correct, there is likely a colossal creature beneath the ground.
Harriet desperately wants to be wrong.
However, the power gave her a positive response.
Moreover, the creature was attacking them.
How could this happen?!
Harriet turned around and looked at the bustling queue.
She quickly realized that it must be that creature that sensed the dense concentration of living beings in this area.
It just... came?!
Harriet sensed danger; she immediately realized that the creature could remotely sense the density of life on the ground!
Staying in the crowd would be quite dangerous.
There's no time to explain.
Harriet immediately grabbed Cathy and ran to the side.
Valentine, standing behind them, immediately shouted, "Where are you going! Stop!"
However, Harriet couldn't care less about that at the moment.
The shouts from behind continued.
"If you don't stop now, I'll fire the arrow!"
"Stop right now!"
"Damn it, chase after them—"
These curses, of course, will not stop unless they are drowned out by an even louder noise.
With a loud "bang," the ground shook violently, and Harriet and Cathy both fell to the ground.
Harriet turned around and was immediately stunned.
A colossal, cylindrical object soared into the sky.
It has black, wrinkled, rough skin, and tiny pores that constantly spew out white steam.
And those who originally stood where it emerged have probably become its food.
Harriet was terrified, but when she looked up at Cathy, she saw something even more horrifying.
Instead of panicking, Kathy gave a smile that was hard to decipher.
