Chapter 1491: Chapter 711 - Concern Leads to Chaos - Blaming Oneself

Sean Knight’s heart suddenly turned cold!

He had always held onto hope—because from the beginning, until he entered the mountain cave, there was no news of Cheryl Suweton.

He had felt all along that Cheryl Suweton should be alive, luckier than the others.

But now, Cheryl Suweton’s clothes had been found, bloody traces had been discovered...

Could Cheryl Suweton have been... eaten?

Sean Knight had never felt this way before—his heart suddenly felt like it had a huge void!

Gone without a trace!

He rarely contacted Cheryl Suweton, and even if they did, it was Cheryl Suweton who initiated it. Sean Knight felt it was natural. If they met, it was fate; if not, then leave it be.

In fact, he knew deep down, this was his way of avoiding her. Unable to give Cheryl Suweton a perfect marriage, it seemed better to meet less.

Deceiving himself and others.

However, when he suddenly learned that Cheryl Suweton was missing, Sean Knight was quite anxious. But he wasn’t particularly urgent.

It wasn’t Cheryl Suweton’s first time facing dangers during outdoor adventures and treasure hunts, every time she had managed to turn the peril into safety.

Sean Knight guessed this time should be no exception.

Just treat it as a rescue mission game.

So even after entering the cave and encountering those man-eating monsters, and discovering the chunks of human flesh inside their stomachs, Sean Knight was just a bit worried, but didn’t consider the possibility of Cheryl Suweton’s mishap.

However, at this moment, these fragments of fabric and faint bloodstains let Sean Knight know, his previous thoughts were just out of luck, wishful thinking—

Cheryl... he really owed her a lot!

Sean Knight gritted his teeth against the pain in his heart, squatted down, and slowly started collecting the pieces of clothing.

Elijah Hastings and Douglas Cooper noticed Sean Knight’s unusual behavior. Elijah Hastings’ lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he didn’t know how to comfort Sean Knight.

Just then, Lincoln Harrington suddenly shouted from ahead,

"Boss, there are pieces of clothing here too!"

Sean Knight straightened up, his face still showing his grief.

"Boss, there’s a corridor here too... Those monsters should have entered through here..."

Sean Knight paused.

"Boss, even if Cheryl... was harmed, shouldn’t we avenge her?"

Elijah Hastings’ words suddenly changed Sean Knight’s mood.

Right, seek revenge!

Sean Knight strode toward the direction of Lincoln Harrington.

At the far end of this underground space, close to the right, there was a crack in the rock, and water flowed out from there, running along a trough at the edge of the space and eventually seeping underground.

Lincoln Harrington, seeing Sean Knight approaching, pointed to the ground next to the crack and said, "There are pieces of clothing here, and bloodstains!"

Sean Knight’s Sky Eye had already spotted these too.

Not only were there bloodstains, but there were drag marks too; someone had been dragged in from here, not just Cheryl Suweton.

"Chase!" Sean Knight was the first to squeeze through the crack, which was quite narrow, only allowing a person to pass sideways. Sean Knight, finding it difficult to enter, simply threw his backpack out.

Elijah Hastings and the others followed suit, squeezing into the crack.

This crack was very long, about fifty or sixty meters, and the deeper they squeezed, the stronger the stench grew.

Sean Knight’s expression was grim.

Thinking Cheryl Suweton might have been eaten by the monsters like the chunks of meat before, he now regretted not having destroyed those monsters earlier!

So, even though the crack was extremely narrow, Sean Knight squeezed through in pain, completely disregarding it, solely focused on killing those monsters to avenge Cheryl Suweton.

Finally coming out of the crack, Sean Knight carried a gun, Sky Eye activated, looking around for traces of the monsters.

Lincoln Harrington was the last one out, turned his head to have a look, thinking about how he’d have to pass through here again later, he felt a bit worried.

He looked up and noticed the top of the crack was wider than the bottom, a bit regretful that he hadn’t noticed it before.

At this time, Sean Knight had already seen some traces of the monsters crawling past, he chased forward—after passing through the crack, they entered another cave space, bizarrely decorated, occasionally with some glowing stones embedded in the cave walls.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!" Two monsters planning to ambush were killed under the gunfire; Douglas Cooper cautiously cut open the belly of a monster, indeed finding human flesh inside.

"It’s not Cheryl." Sean Knight shook his head, continuing forward.

He felt heavy-hearted; earlier he had been emotional, but now he had recovered.

Death is irreversible; he was late, what was the use of being in pain now? First, kill those monsters, avenge Cheryl Suweton, then see about other matters.

However, at this time, Sean Knight faintly felt hopeful again, maybe... there was still hope?

He immediately gave a bitter smile, how could it be possible?

These monsters were not human; how could they possibly spare Cheryl Suweton’s life?

Continuing forward, with Sky Eye scanning around, those attempting monsters could not get close.

What struck Sean Knight as odd was that these monsters did not swarm him. After walking several dozen steps and passing through a cave area, he could only see a few monsters.

It seemed as if these monsters each had their territorial limits.

Where there were monsters, there tended to be slightly larger spaces, like living rooms at home, with a stream passing through, containing fish.

This was probably the water source for the monsters.

Of course, the monsters might still eat each other.

But it no longer mattered—these monsters, all had to accompany Cheryl Suweton in death!

He proceeded to kill more as he went, not even remembering how many he had slaughtered, Sean Knight was surprised to find that further in, the monsters grew larger and more skilled in combat!
