Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196 -One Hundred Ninety-Six Night Hunt

Outside the Space, a considerable number of Mutated Beasts had already gathered within the two spirit gathering trapping formations, and Su Jin and Lu Hao did not use any lighting tools.

The night in the forest was not pitch black; they could even see the vague shadows of tree branches on the ground through the moonlight. Moreover, Special Ability Users were inherently more sensitive, so both of them could see perfectly well in this situation.

“Is this… what kind of Mutated Beast? A hedgehog?”

When Su Jin saw the appearance of the Mutated Beasts within the spirit gathering trapping formation, she immediately thought of hedgehogs, but weren’t these too big?

Lu Hao’s right hand lit a rather small flame, and as he observed the Mutated Beast within the formation more clearly, he could see that its body was covered in spikes. Only its head and neck had elongated, curved bristles, and beyond that, there was a long array of spikes, making it indeed resemble an oversized hedgehog.

“It’s a porcupine,” Lu Hao asserted.

“A porcupine?” Su Jin couldn’t help but ask with curiosity. She seemed to have never seen such a creature before.

“Porcupines are nocturnal animals and are quite cautious; be careful not to touch the spikes on its body,”

Lu Hao explained to Su Jin. In the past, when they participated in exercises and training, they often encountered this kind of animal at night. Although porcupines moved slowly, if one accidentally touched their spikes, not only could it cause an infected wound and unbearable pain, but there were also cases that could lead to death.

Su Jin nodded her head. Although these mutated porcupines did not seem to move slowly, and besides the porcupines, there were some other Mutated Beasts in the spirit gathering trapping formation, these beasts, without exception, had been pierced by the porcupines’ spikes into hedgehogs, and many had already died.

These porcupines were quite formidable!

“Shall we each take one formation?” Su Jin asked, tilting her head.

“Okay,”

The two spirit gathering trapping formations that Lu Hao had set up were not far apart, so if one person was in danger, the other could quickly come to support.

Su Jin looked at the porcupines trapped in the formation, and at the same time, those porcupines were also angrily watching her, and even one of the porcupines shot spikes in her direction.

Su Jin, intending to deplete her special ability, did not immediately resolve them all at once, but instead placed her hand on the ground and controlled her Wood Element Ability to flow into the formation.

Phut,

A slender wooden spike pierced through one porcupine.

Although the porcupine’s back was hard with spikes, its belly was very soft. Caught off-guard by the sudden appearance of a wooden spike from the ground, that porcupine did not even have a chance to wail before it died.

Su Jin did the same procedure, controlling both the location and speed of the emerging wooden spikes with her Wood Element Ability, trying to make sure every spike could kill a porcupine as soon as it appeared.

On the other hand, Lu Hao did not use a group attack method either. The porcupines’ size was not very large, which was suitable for practicing the precision of his Fire Element Ability.

Although the Fire Element Ability was powerful in attack, since fireballs had no weight and could only hit the enemy through the Special Ability User’s control of the fire, aiming a fireball precisely at a certain part of the target was actually much trickier than marksmanship.

Lu Hao conjured a small cluster of flames at his fingertips, then controlled the small flame to flick toward the neck of a porcupine. Although the flame was small, it was very fast, and the porcupine that was hit did not die immediately but became even more cautious in dodging Lu Hao’s subsequent attacks.

Just as both of them had dealt with most of the porcupines within their respective formations, the scent on their bodies finally attracted other creatures.

Gradually, the empty ground was filled with glowing green dots, and the two of them no longer delayed, directly using their special abilities to eliminate all the porcupines within the formations.
