ALL NOVEL Chapter 18: ch18
"Ss!"
The Curly-tailed Rabbit discovered Ethan and screamed in its throat as if to warn him. Its huge body stood upright and was as tall as a horse.
"Lava Style: The Art of Granite!"
Ethan's skin turned blue when he was about to come into contact with the Curly-tailed Rabbit, and the Chakra transmission equipment 'Blue Flame' in his hand struck at the rabbit's head.
Clang!
With a crisp sound, the Curly-tailed Rabbit was hit by him, but except for a superficial injury, it was not serious. With its backhand, the rabbit slapped Ethan away for more than ten meters with its claws, demonstrating immense strength.
Sss!
Although the Curly-tailed Rabbit was not fatally injured, it was furious. It was faster than Ethan and reached him in two or three steps. Its big paws slapped Ethan hard on the ground before he could get up.
At this moment, a flash of panic crossed Ethan's mind. The Curly-tailed Rabbit's resilience, strength, and speed greatly surprised him. He thought it would be an easy battle, but unexpectedly it turned out to be extremely difficult.
However, his panic did not last long. John and Ashley both took action and rescued Ethan from under the Curly-tailed Rabbit.
"Lightning Style: Earth Walking!"
"Gentle Fist!"
Boom!
A streak of blue-white lightning flowing rapidly along the ground hit the belly of the Curly-tailed Rabbit, instantly scorching it.
Ashley's Gentle Fist tapped the rabbit's leg on acupoints, greatly reducing its mobility.
Ethan immediately joined the battle after being rescued. He and Ashley did not use Ninjutsu anymore. Conductive weapons were more effective at close range. They quickly stabbed the Curly-tailed Rabbit with one sword after another.
However, the beast is tenacious. It was not going to be killed so easily. Its fierce struggle and counterattack made the three of them cautious. After all, the opponent's Chakra amount is several times more than theirs.
John was not engaged in close combat; physical skills were not his strong point, and he did not have Chakra transmission equipment. He could only use the long-range attack advantage of Earth Walking to seize the Curly-tailed Rabbit's vulnerabilities and attack it.
However, after using it three times, the Chakra in his body was reduced by nearly one-fifth. This made John lament how powerful the Curly-tailed Rabbit was, limited by just one Ninjutsu.
"It seems that ordinary Earth Walking is not fatal. Let's bet all Chakra on the next attack." John's eyes changed slightly, and he did not take action again. Instead, he completed the hand sign for Earth Walking and held it, waiting for a good opportunity.
One of Ethan and Ashley had Byakugan that could detect attacks, and the other had Ninjutsu, which protected the body and was not afraid of ordinary damage. They fought the Curly-tailed Rabbit and put it into a tough fight.
"John, what are you doing? Hit it!" Ashley immediately urged him when she saw that he hadn't taken action for a while. John ignored her and kept watching the Curly-tailed Rabbit jumping up and down.
It's true that the Earth Walking attack is fast, but that doesn't mean it can't be evaded. He wanted to make sure it was foolproof. After all, after this technique, he wouldn't have the energy to attack again.
"It would be great if I had Sharingan now, so I wouldn't have to be so careful," John sighed in his heart. The Curly-tailed Rabbit was too fast for him now, and it was difficult to ensure that he would hit the target.
After waiting for about ten seconds, John finally saw an opportunity when the Curly-tailed Rabbit slapped Ashley away with its paw, and immediately slapped the ground with both hands.
"Lightning Style: Earth Walking!"
Two blue-white lightning bolts as thick as an adult's arms rushed along the ground to the feet of the Curly-tailed Rabbit, emitting a burst of electric sound. The rabbit suddenly howled in pain and rolled on the ground in agony.
Although John was still very weak, this attack had put all the Chakra on the line. It was at least four to five times more powerful than the previous three Earth Walks, and it successfully threatened the Curly-tailed Rabbit with death.
But it's just a threat; the Curly-tailed Rabbit would not die immediately.
Ethan and Ashley immediately seized the opportunity to pierce the two eyes of the Curly-tailed Rabbit with the long swords in their hands. Blood sprayed like a fountain, dyeing their clothes red.
Sss...
After a few weak kicks with its two furry hind legs, the Curly-tailed Rabbit finally died.
"Ah! How disgusting!" After the battle, Ashley screamed and ran away, probably to change clothes.
John walked up to Ethan and felt a little uncomfortable looking at the huge corpse on the ground. This was the first time he had slaughtered such a large animal with his own hands.
Ethan also felt a little uncomfortable and said with a wry smile, "I used to feel nothing when watching videos of hunting beasts, but after experiencing it myself, I realized that it's not that simple."
"Me too, just get used to it." John pulled out the dagger on his leg and cut off a small section of the Curly-tailed Rabbit's tail, then shook it in his hand with a smile on his face.
"Buyers shouldn't care if there's so little missing. After all, it was such a fierce battle."
"You guys are still greedy for petty gains? This bit of beast meat doesn't cost much, it's only a few hundred dollars at most."
"But my family would never be willing to spend these few hundred dollars in my whole life." John smiled naturally, "I will follow you two wealthy people to eat well and drink hot food, but I also want to let my adoptive parents taste the taste of beast meat, right?"
"Um, I forgot that your family's conditions aren't great..."
Ethan chuckled and used the storage scroll to put away the body of the Curly-tailed Rabbit, "John, you are prosperous, and the mission reward is 30,000 mainland coins. Split evenly, you can have a huge sum of 10,000 dollars. In the future, will you worry about your family not having beast meat to eat?"
"It's indeed a huge sum of money." John sighed, with a smile on his face, "But I don't plan to take it. Ashley should take it with me. I feel bad about owing money."
His adoptive parents only made 7,000 to 8,000 dollars a month without food and water, but he earned tens of thousands from this trip? No wonder ordinary people always say that being a ninja is a hugely profitable industry.
Ashley moved quickly, changed into clean clothes, and came back.
"Ethan, you didn't peek at me changing, did you?"
"What's so great about your flat chest? Look at Lucy." Ethan was disdainful and deliberately provoked Ashley.
"Go to hell!" Ashley's pain was caused by the two unsatisfactory flowers on her chest, and she was so angry that she almost lost her temper.
"Hehe." Ethan ducked with a smile and returned to the original route, "Mission accomplished, let's go home!"
...
In a certain monitoring room, Lucy did not hide the disappointment on her face.
"This performance... is really disappointing. I thought the legendary Sharingan was so powerful."
"Haha, Lucy, you are too impatient. This kid is just a rookie now, no different from ordinary people."
At this time, a faint smile sounded, and a middle-aged man in white came up behind her.
"Uncle? Why are you here?" Lucy smiled immediately when she saw the visitor.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "My subordinates reported to me that you brought people here. I was worried that you young people might have an accident because you didn't know the ropes, so I came to take a look."
"But this person got an unexpected reward. I didn't expect Sharingan to appear again."
"It's just that he's too weak to pay attention." Lucy curled her lips and walked toward the door.
"Uncle, please go back, I will send them away right now."
