Apocalypse Monster
Chapter 241: Children Hunting
His group had already reached the Elf Region and were allowed to enter without any obstacles at all, especially since there was Natan.
Natan was already very recognizable in the Elf Region and had a call “Elf” Father due to a misunderstanding in the introduction that Ainsley had given during his initial visit to the Elf Region on the 28th Floor.
But even though he explained as much as he could, all the Elves here still considered him as the Elf Father.
"Dad! Daddy!" Vera shouted as she pointed at the Horned Rabbit. "Vera wants to keep it!"
Nathan crouched down beside Vera. "Is Vera sure? It's dangerous you know."
Vera tilted her head. "dangerous? But he's funny."
Natan smiled faintly, she threw a pebble near the Horned Rabbit.
The Horned Rabbit that was being targeted felt piqued, he looked at Natan with his eyes turning red. He ran very fast, then jumped very high when he almost got to the Mammoth Tank.
"Dad!" Vera screamed in fear while hugging Natan.
Natan waved her hand, suddenly the shadow on her feet moved and caught the Horned Rabbit. "It's okay, look, I got him." He rubbed Vera's head.
Vera who was hugging Natan's neck, turned her head slowly, she saw the Horned Rabbit that was bound in the air. "The bad rabbit."
Natan smiled, she saw Ling Wei who was hiding behind Xia Feiya, Octavia who was hugging Jiang Shuya and Charles standing in front of Octavia with both hands open to protect her sister.
"Charles, Vera and Octavia are training today against the Horned Rabbit." Natan wiped the tears on Vera's cheek and added, "Don't be afraid, I'll keep you guys from behind. Didn't you ask for it yourself?"
Vera was silent, she saw the Horned Rabbit who opened its mouth with sharp fangs.
Natan smiled faintly, she looked at her three children standing in front of her. "So, you wanna fight it?"
Charles clenched his hand. "Charles will fight him!"
"Sister?" Vera looked at Charles.
Charles smiled, he rubbed Vera's head. "Are we not training for this? Relax, Brother will protect Vera!"
Jia Meiya took Jiang Shuya from Octavia and gave him a kiss of thanks. "Via should join us too, didn't Via say that he wanted to help Mom and Dad?"
Erina jumped down from the Mammoth Tank, suddenly the ground beneath her shook and the tree roots with the size of the thickness of the thumb moved like snakes, wrapped around dozens of Horned Rabbits.
The Elves who stood guard in the trees, chose to relax and observe Charles, Vera and Octavia who were going to hunt.
Erina looked at Charles who was still on top. "Auntie left one rabbit for you, try to work together. Remember, don't cry."
Charles gave a small nod and took out a wooden sword, then jumped off the Mammoth Tank.
Erina caught Charles and lowered him down slowly so as not to get hurt.
Charles stomped his feet many times and said, "Auntie... Charles wanted to be a hero."
"Aah!" Erina was stunned, then she laughed out loud as she pinched Charles' cheek.
Vera and Octavia jump, but are not as stylish as Charles, so ask Erina for help to catch him.
"Well, Auntie's gonna take off one of the rabbits, you gotta get ready." Erina took a step back, allowing Charles, Vera and Octavia to stand in front of her. Then he untied the root on one of the Horned Rabbits.
The Horned Rabbit fell on the ground and upon waking up again, his eyes turned red looking at the three little children holding wooden swords.
Charles gripped the wooden sword, then he ran towards the sinister-looking Horned Rabbit. But when it was only a few meters away, he suddenly stopped and removed his sword.
Bam!
The Horned Rabbit struck the wooden sword Charles was holding.
Charles' hand trembled as it felt numbness in both of his hands; the right hand held the sword hilt, and the left hand held the sword blade. He gritted his teeth and tightly gripped the sword hilt as he pushed the Horned Rabbit with all his might.
Vera and Octavia looked at each other, then nodded and ran after the Horned Rabbit.
Vera swung her sword downward as she looked at the Horned Rabbit lying down. But...
The Horned Rabbit suddenly got up and dodged Vera's slash, he turned right, then lunged at Vera with all his might.
Vera tried to dodge the attack, but she was late in action, though she managed to avoid the sharp horn section, but the rabbit's head strike still hit her left arm until it knocked her half a meter on the ground.
Octavia was angry, he kicked the Horned Rabbit with his left foot like he was kicking a ball towards Charles. Then he approached Vera. "Sister Vera!" He helped Vera stand up.
"Thank you." Vera grabbed Octavia's hand and stood up.
Charles on the other hand, swung his sword vertically downwards with all his might.
Bam!
The Horned Rabbit hit the ground, its body shaking as if it had been electrocuted, before finally breaking into pieces of light scattering in the air.
Charles dashed towards Vera, he lowered his head and gripped tightly on his sword. "Sorry, you can't protect Vera."
Vera shook her head. "It's okay, careless Vera, you can't blame yourself."
"Dear, try changing weapons." Vely descended from the Mammoth Tank, carrying a wooden bow with arrows equally made of wood. "Isn't Vera talented in archery?"
"Thank you, Mother." Vera received an arrow bow and tied the container of arrows on her back.
Olivia also provided gloves and leg protection for Octavia. Calista gives another sword to Charles.
Natan who saw this, smiled faintly and took out three wooden sticks made of rattan, putting them on the ground. "Use this if you need another gun."
He looked at Erina. "Take off the two rabbits."
The horned Rabbit that was released immediately ran towards Charles, Vera and Octavia with a feeling of anger at seeing their murdered comrade.
Unlike before, now the children have started to work well together.
Vera moved away at the back, she picked up an arrow and pulled a bow, but her bow was not aimed at the Horned Rabbit, but at the other side.
Vera's attack coincides with Charles successfully holding the Horned Rabbit, and Octavia hitting the newly detained rabbit. The rabbit was thrown to the right, then suddenly the arrow stuck right in the head of the rabbit.
Charles pulled his left leg back while swinging the sword in his left hand back.
Clangs!
The wooden sword struck a sharp, hard horn, repelling the rabbit's attack that almost hit Charles' back.
Charles raised his right hand which was carrying a sword and swung it, it instantly rendered the rabbit unable to move at all and died slowly.
Erina nodded her head many times, she added to the difficulty by releasing the other three rabbits.
Three Horned Rabbits ran towards Octavia at a rapid pace.
Octavia was silent for a moment, she was great in physical ability, but her martial will was still very, very basic. "Sister!"
Vera fired an arrow that hit the leg of one of the rabbits.
Octavia was grateful that even though only one rabbit had been knocked out, and to deal with the two remaining rabbits, she stayed in place to wait for the right time.
When the rabbit jumped and lunged, Octavia jumped back. As Octavia landed on the ground, she twisted her body so quickly that it was behind the rabbit, she smacked her right fist from top to bottom, making the rabbit hit the ground until it made a hole.
The other rabbit, who had survived, turned around and prepared to attack again.
Charles came with two swords. He swung the sword in his right hand upwards, threw the rabbit into the air, then threw the sword in his left hand like a spear.
Charles ran forward when he saw the rabbit get stabbed by the sword. He ran very fast until he arrived at where the rabbit was about to land, he made horses, then slashed the rabbit that fell in front of him.
Calista, Vely and Olivia cheered as the children successfully fought the Horned Rabbit.
Natan nodded her head in appreciation, the way they fought was only suitable to deal with small and weak enemies, not suitable for powerful monsters that were already resourceful. But for kids this age, that's good enough.
As for Xia Feiya who had already faced a high-level monster when she was five years old, that was another case. First, the level increased greatly due to the features of the team sharing the experience, and the second was due to using the help of the summoned element spirit.
