Chapter 565 Hunt

It is coming!

Harriet thought.

I must leave this position immediately!

She knew very well that if she were hit by that worm monster, she would have absolutely no chance of survival.

However, Harriet understood this as well.

If they can kill this monster here, the risks they face in their future actions will be greatly reduced.

I must wait a little longer—Harriet's resolve grew stronger—she had to make sure the worm appeared in the same spot.

Harriet was actually quite surprised that the worm would be interested in her witchcraft.

This power was originally just a means for her to manipulate biological signs.

Logically speaking, once this power is released, only she herself can utilize it.

Moreover, whether power brings harm or benefit is entirely up to Harriet to decide.

Harriet was puzzled as to what force could possibly attract those worms.

Following this line of thought, Harriet realized something terrifying—

Perhaps, what that monster coveted was never power itself, but rather the source of power.

Harriet herself was the real delicacy for that worm-like behemoth!

She couldn't help but swallow.

She realized even more deeply how risky what she was doing was!

But now is not the time to back down.

If Harriet doesn't want to be bait again, she has to succeed this time!

This time, the signal transmitted back by the endless cycle of life became very short.

It's right here at our feet!

Harriet immediately amplified her physical abilities with a surge of power, then launched herself into a flying pounce—

Before she even landed, a loud bang was heard.

A giant worm emerged from the ground, its burrowed earth propelling it into the air before it fell back down, forming a gray curtain.

Harriet fell heavily to the ground, and she was sure she had scraped her skin.

But right now, she has no time to worry about this minor injury.

Harriet quickly turned around and looked at the worm.

The worm's head shot straight up into the sky and bit off several parrots.

"Now!"

With a loud shout, wooden stakes, rolling stones, and small jugs filled with wine all came crashing down on the worm's body.

But the group didn't stop there. Cassie shouted, "Not enough! Draw your weapons and take the opportunity to stab that guy a few times. Even if we can't kill it, we'll make it suffer!"

The last few pirates drew their swords, and even the one with the tumorous leg hopped closer to the worm that was frozen on the ground.

Then, Harriet saw the group use their weapons to attack the giant beast.

However, Harriet only heard a series of clanging sounds, as if the weapons were hitting rocks, and did not cause any damage to the giant beast at all.

Harriet was shocked; even the best armor made by humans could not compare to the toughness of this monster's skin.

She immediately realized that this was no ordinary creature—perhaps, an existence that humans could not contend with!

Just then, Harriet saw Cassie draw her longsword and charge at the monster.

"No!" Harriet shouted urgently, "Don't go over there, Cassie!"

But whether it was because Cathy didn't hear him or not, his pace didn't slow down at all.

Kathy forcefully raised her longsword high, leaped into the air, and slashed down with it—

The worm-like behemoth's tough, rough skin had been ripped open.

"Hooray~"

The behemoth let out a deafening roar that nearly ruptured Harriet's eardrums.

Golden powder shot out from the wound.

Is that the monster's blood?

Harriet was shocked. When did Cassie acquire such power?

No—Harriet quickly realized that it must be that the sword was special.

Kashi said it was a longsword forged from a different kind of iron ore produced on the plateau.

This longsword has a special effect against magical beasts.

Is this worm also a monster?

Or does it have attributes similar to Warcraft?

Harriet couldn't reach a conclusion, but this undoubtedly opened up new possibilities.

As long as they can inflict damage on this worm, even the smallest amount, they have a chance to kill it!

Kathy immediately commanded, "Attack the worm's wounds!"

Several pirates immediately rushed forward and began hacking at the wound.

As more and more golden blood gushed out, Harriet seemed to see a glimmer of hope for victory.

She didn't sit idle either; she quickly used her power to enhance the physical fitness of those soldiers.

However—at that very moment!

Harriet suddenly felt another tremor.

A bad feeling suddenly crept into her heart.

Harriet quickly probed the ground with her power to gather intelligence.

A situation that drove her to despair arose.

There's more than one giant worm!

Moreover, they are all heading in this direction right now.

Harriet noticed something: whenever the injured worm yelled, the ground would shake more violently.

She took a deep breath—that wasn't a scream! It was a distress signal!

A massive swarm of giant worms is surging toward this side.

If they came to provide support, then Kathy and the others who are still attacking at this moment are doomed.

Harriet must not let Cathy get hurt.

But the worm shouted again, and Harriet's shouts had no effect on alerting Cassie and the others.

Harriet racked her brains and finally came up with an idea.

Since these worms are attracted to Harriet's power, Harriet has the opportunity to distract them.

Harriet unleashed her power to its maximum, the immense energy pouring outwards and almost covering the surrounding land.

Apart from the direction where Kathy was standing.

Soon, the worm emerged.

Harriet's plan must have worked; no worms appeared around Cassie.

But Harriet also witnessed a horrifying scene.

Six—no! Eight enormous worms, like eight pillars supporting the sky, stood on the ground.

Seeing this despairing scene, Harriet had no idea how to win.

This is not a scenario that humans can handle.

The pirates were the first to sense the danger, immediately abandoning their attack on the worm and running away into the distance.

"You should run away too, Casey," Harriet thought.

However, Cassie ran towards Harriet: "Harriet, are you alright?"

Harriet was somewhat touched: "Yes, but it consumed too much power."

"I'm sorry, Harriet, I didn't expect this."

"Nobody could have predicted this," Harriet said sadly.

"Hooray~"

With a roar, another worm emerged from the ground and devoured the four people who were trying to escape.

Harriet knew that these worms seemed quite intelligent, knowing how to intercept fleeing enemies.

She realized with despair, "Cassie, we might die here—"

Cathy's eyes were filled with a sense of desolation, but he quickly forced a bitter smile and sat down beside Harriet: "But at least, we're here for each other—"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Three sharp, slicing sounds were heard as three oddly shaped arrows landed in front of Cathy and Harriet.

"Roar~"

Soon, another worm emerged from that spot.

How many of these monsters are there?

But Harriet understood that the most important problem right now might not be those worms.

She immediately turned around to look for the source of the arrow.

Harriet immediately saw a hooded person standing in a tree behind her.

Kathy clearly noticed the other person too: "What are you?"

'

The other person jumped down from the tree, their back to the two: "It's foolish to anger the Breathing Insects. Don't just stand there, follow me. This isn't a place for a rendezvous—"
