novelThe Brazen Electric Eel
| ← Ch.090 | Ch.092 → |
Logically, the electric eel could easily electrocute a three-meter-long spotted sea snake to death. However, Chen Fan did not dare to release any current, simply because his own body was sunbathing on the water above! If Chen Fan accidentally electrocuted his own body while killing the snake, he would probably be so angry that he would end up killing all the snakes in the ocean.
Since the aggressive method of releasing discharge couldn't be used, the electric eel could only go after the sea snake like an elephant chasing a mouse. The sea snake which was holding the white crystal in its mouth had probably discovered that there was an ancestor-like sea creature chasing it from behind. The speed at which its body was moving was sure to make marine biologists take out their magnifying glasses to review this species again to see if it was evolving to be like a rattlesnake. Otherwise, how could it move at such a high rate of speed?
Although the sea snake was fast, the electric eel was even faster. Now that it had grown to 60 meters long, the electric eel could definitely defeat 99 percent of the swimming champions in the ocean and trample them. Chen Fan's eyes were about to pop out when he saw the sea snake move its body toward a huge reef structure lying quietly underwater. The snake slipped right into it.
Two meters... the electric eel was just two meters short of biting that obnoxious fellow in half. It was too late. The sea snake wormed its way into a bucket-size hole before disappearing.
"Ah!" Chen Fan almost exploded. It was hard to describe how Chen Fan felt at that moment. It was like a lion who had already gotten onto the back of a lioness but an idiot suddenly appeared and bit off his dick. What an extremely complex feeling!
The electric eel took in two deep breaths to calm itself down. A mouse is still a mouse no matter how cunning it is. Faced with absolute force and high wisdom, it would never be able to play any tricks no matter how hard it tried.
After the eel went around the reef twice without being able to see any other exit, it opened its mouth at the hole and released a weak discharge to find its way and also to force the sea snake out. To Chen Fan's dismay, the hole inside the truck-size reef extended to more than two meters down. The spotted sea snake was curled up inside, coiled on the crystal and gnawing it with its fine teeth.
However, no marks were being made on the orange-size crystal. It might be because the sea snake's teeth were not sharp enough, or it did not use much strength. After some thought, Chen Fan decided to take his own body back to the beach first. After all, there were too many dangerous situations on the water. What if he got bitten by a shark?
After shifting his thoughts back onto his own body, Chen Fan swam to the beach and laid on it before diverting his thoughts again. However, Chen Fan discovered something very strange when his thoughts went to the electric eel. All the surrounding fish, big and small, be it sharks, sea snakes or squids, came close to the electric eel and tried hard to get into the hole, totally ignoring the huge electric eel.
What's going on? Chen Fan was puzzled. Don't tell me the white crystal is some elixir left behind by the East Sea Dragons and that eating it will turn you into a dragon? Chen Fan shook his head and did away with this unrealistic thought. Although he did not believe in science, he was also not a believer of myths.
It was not uncommon for fish to gather and fight over an object. As the olfactory nerve of fish is very powerful and able to smell food from a distance away, many fishing enthusiasts like to use scented baits to gather fish. Even though Chen Fan couldn't guess what that piece of object was, it was probably the smell of it that attracted the fish.
The electric eel moved its body a few times to remind the fish that the treasure had been seized by it. Thereafter, Chen Fan slowly increased the discharge released by the eel to force the sea snake to come out. First it was 500 volts of discharge and 20 amperes of electric current, but the sea snake seemed to understand that it was heading for death if it went out, refusing to move even after being numbed by electricity.
You sh*thead! Chen Fan cursed in his head and increased the discharge to 800 volts, to see how stubborn this sea snake was. Ten seconds later, tragedy happened. The sea snake shook wildly all over and then showed no signs of life after that. Oh my Holy Mary! Chen Fan almost cried out in tears when he saw the image in the eel's brain. How was an electric eel, four meters wide in diameter, able to go into the bucket-size hole?
With the death of the sea snake, the surrounding fish were also scattered off by the strong voltage. After looking at the reef and thinking for 10 seconds, Chen Fan controlled the eel to the front of the submarine and grabbed the three-ton meteor hammer, and got ready to do some "violent demolition work"!
After swimming to the side of the reef, Chen Fan sized it up before swinging the meteor hammer. Then he hit it onto the huge rock with the inertia produced from the electric eel's turning.
Thump! The entire seabed shook. Just how strong was a 60-meter long electric eel? The answer was revealed by looking at the rock. After the dust in the water had settled, an opening bigger than a water tank appeared on the huge rock. Chen Fan controlled the eel to the other side of the rock and hit it about 15 times. The huge rock was smashed into pieces, but the poor quality meteor hammer had lost its shape. The sharp edges on the surface were all gone, and only a bald uneven steel ball remained.
After putting down the meteor hammer, the electric eel dug with its four claws and finally cleaned up the rock, leaving only the black, bucket-size hole.
However, Chen Fan was troubled over the next step. He had not prepared by bringing a shovel or digging tool for the electric eel. After thinking for five seconds, Chen Fan had no choice but to let the electric eel stand in as a "claw-excavator"!
How big were the claws of the electric eel now? Each claw was around one meter in diameter. Other than having some gaps in between, it was as good as a small-size excavator.
Using all four claws together, and in less than two hours, Chen Fan dug two meters deep into the rock, and the surrounding area turned into a "construction zone" with a radius of 10 meters. After using electromagnetic induction to sense the location of the white crystal, Chen Fan swung the meteor hammer onto the rock again. Repeating this for more than ten times, the huge rock dug out by the electric eel was also smashed into pieces like the one above it.
After waiting for a few minutes for the surrounding turbid water to settle, the eel quickly threw away the deformed meteor hammer and swept the broken rocks to the sides before finding the white crystal below the mashed sea snake.
At that moment, the countless fishes which were hovering around charged toward the claw of the electric eel as if they were on steroids, disregarding their own safety. Chen Fan did not dare to get the eel to release electric current to kill the fish as he was worried that it might damage the crystal. The electric eel gave a sinister smile before swallowing the white crystal. After that, it stared straight at the fish and gave them a "what can you do to me" brazen attitude!
