The Double Drop Buff Surviving The Endless Ocean novel Chapter 194

Leeanne wondered, ‘What’s this area?’

She looked down and saw two or three plants with bright green leaves growing by her feet.

Her heart skipped a beat. She bent down and parted the dense leaves, and something seemed to be revealed at the base of these plants.

Leeanne grabbed the roots and gave them a hard tug, pulling out three or four small things.

[Collection successful. Obtained small potatoes.]

Whoa, the potatoes. I can’t believe they are actually the potatoes, Leeanne thought.

She broke into a big smile, her eyes curved with joy. She thought again, ‘Awesome! Finally scored something good.

The potatoes taste good. I can steam them, stir–fry them, or mash them. They are soft. I can cook it with meat, steam it with pork ribs, or toss it in the steamer and eat it as is.

I can even use it to make snacks and sweet treats.

‘Grandma would always make the potato ravioli.’

Leeanne was practically drooling just thinking about it.

She jumped into action, clearing out the whole patch of potatoes in no time.

There must be some little potatoes left underground. Give it a bit, and they’ll pop up again,‘ Leeanne thought to herself.

After gathering all the potatoes, Leeanne was about to move on when a strong, gamey odor suddenly wafted over.

“Grunt. Grunt!”

Leeanne looked up and saw a massive porcupine charging straight at her.

Leeanne kicked off with her toes and darted to the side, her soft whip already in hand.

This porcupine is massive, she thought, her eyes widening in surprise.

It stood about as tall as a person, its back covered in long, thick spines. With a loud grunt, it barreled straight toward her.

It was moving at lightning speed.

Leeanne checked its info. It was a Tier 4 mutant porcupine.

She tightened her grip on the soft whip, dodged to the side, and snapped it out with a sharp crack.

At the same time, she shouted, “Little Blue, get back here!”

Snowy stepped in front of her, using his Charge Skill to go head–to–head with the porcupine.

Leeanne’s heart clenched. “Snowy, be careful!”

Those spines looked razor–sharp, like tiny daggers. No way would an ordinary person dare to go up against them.

Leeanne lashed out with her soft whip at the porcupine again, but just then, the porcupine let out a roar, spun around, and charged straight at Little Blue.

In that instant, Leeanne’s soft whip got tangled.

It had wrapped itself around the spines on the porcupine’s back.

At the same time, the whip tore into the porcupine’s back, making it howl in pain and go berserk.

Just then, Little Blue came charging in, and the porcupine, now furious, rampaged straight toward him.

Leeanne pulled with all her might on the soft whip, trying to stop the porcupine from charging.

‘Damn, it’s way too strong, Leeanne thought, panic rising in her chest.

She didn’t stand a chance of holding it back.

She heard a crisp snap. The soft whip broke in half, its tail still wrapped around the porcupine’s spines.

Leeanne looked at the broken whip, quickly tossed it back into her backpack, and deftly pulled out her horn bow.

The porcupine was already charging straight at Snowy.

Leeanne knew how strong it was, so she quickly called out to Snowy, “Don’t try to take it head–on. Just try to entangle it.”

whizzed out one after another.

But the porcupine was a Tier 4 beast, after all. It zigzagged left and right, dodging every shot with ease.

It was all thanks to its insane speed.

Leeanne didn’t waste a second. She grabbed three more Arrows and one Rapid Feather Arrow.

She fired them off one after another.

At the same time, Little Blue shouted, “Move aside, you mutt! I’m here to mess you up.”

Little Blue dove down, its claws suddenly swelling and turning razor–sharp, swiping at the porcupine’s head over and over with a flurry of strikes.

That was his special skill, Rapid Claw Strike.

Leeanne’s arrows arrived in time. With attacks coming from three directions, the porcupine couldn’t dodge fast enough. The last Rapid Feather Arrow pierced its neck.

It let out a pained cry.

Maybe the porcupine was getting a bit clever. Realizing it was outmatched, it made a break for it, the Rapid Feather Arrow still sticking out of its neck.

“Chase it!” Leeanne shouted.

No way was she letting the porcupine escape.

The porcupine might drop a treasure chest, and its meat wasn’t just tasty. It was super nutritious. As a Tier 4 beast, eating it

would be a huge boost for both her and Macve.

Little Blue and Snowy would get a boost, too.

They kept up the chase, determined not to let it get away.

That porcupine was quick. It raced straight into a thicket, dove into the tall grass, and disappeared without a trace.

Lecanne parted the grass and found a hole. With the porcupine being so huge, the hole was big enough for a person to stand in,

She was about to chase after it, but as soon as she grabbed her luminous pearl for some light and stepped closer, the smell hit her like a punch to the face. It reeked.

Leeanne clamped her nose shut.

Snowy walked over. “Master, you know how a crafty rabbit always has more than one burrow? The porcupine’s a tunnel expert, too. Maybe it already slipped out through another tunnel.”

Are you kidding me? So all that fighting was for nothing?‘ Leeanne thought, feeling annoyed.

Leeanne paused, saying, “Alright, we’re heading in. Whenever we spot a tunnel, we block it up. Little Blue, keep an eye from above and shout if you see that porcupine pop out anywhere.”

She grinned and added, “This boar tastes amazing. If we take it down, I’ll make you some BBQ skewers.”

‘Porcupine meat would make awesome BBQ skewers,‘ Leeanne thought, practically drooling at the idea.

Little Blue cheered, “Let’s chow down!”

Little Blue zoomed up into the sky.

Leeanne, luminous pearl in hand, headed into the cave.

The luminous pearl is awesome, but it’s not that handy in the ocean,‘ Leeanne thought.

After walking a few yards, Leeanne found herself in a bigger room, only about 200 square feet, with tunnels leading off to both the left and right.

She paused, took out some firewood, and built a campfire right in the middle of the space.

Then she got to work setting up some traps.

Suddenly, her mind sparked with excitement. She’d just picked up a new skill, Quicksand Trap.

She pulled up the skill info:

[Basic Quicksand Trap: Set up a six–foot–wide Quicksand Trap on the ground. Anyone, human or beast, who steps in gets stuck and can barely move. Once triggered, the trap lasts for 10 minutes. It can only be set up to five times per day.

Leeanne tried out her new skill, and a big, shadowy circle, about six feet across, materialized right in front of her. A system prompt blinked into view: [Do you want to place a Quicksand Trap here?]

She dragged the shadow over to one of the tunnel mouths and confirmed, “Yes.”

A spinning vortex of quicksand erupted at the tunnel entrance, completely blocking it off.

The quicksand spun for a few seconds, then the system flashed: [Trap placed successfully.]

Then, just like that, the quicksand vanished, leaving nothing but ordinary ground. No sign it had ever been there.

‘So that’s how the Quicksand Trap works. Nice! No more digging holes for me,‘ Leeanne thought, feeling pretty pleased with herself.

She turned to Snowy and said, “Remember this spot. Whatever you do, don’t step on it later.”

Snowy nodded.

Next, Leeanne set up another Quicksand Trap at the entrance of the tunnel they had just used.

Then she led Snowy toward the only remaining passage.

After walking about ten yards, they emerged from the cave and found themselves surrounded by low shrubs and tall grass. Not far off, dense woods stretched as far as the eye could see.

This exit was also hidden deep in the bushes. One’d never spot it unless one were actively searching.

Leeanne turned to Snowy and said, “If I’m right, these exits are pretty close to each other. You stay here and keep an eye out. I’ll go to check the other tunnels.”

She could only set up five Quicksand Traps a day, so she had to be careful not to waste them.

The porcupine was already hurt, and both she and Snowy could handle it solo for a while. With everything so close, it’d be easy to call someone over if needed. The main thing was to keep the porcupine from making a run for it.

Just as she finished giving instructions, she heard Little Blue shout, “Leeanne, hurry up! I spotted that delicious porcupine.”
