Chapter 202 Golden Eagle
The action of the python led Chen Fan into a burst of confusion, as he began to wonder: Does it have the disgusting habit of sucking brain marrow?
The green water beast"s frontal bone may be very hard, as the python used a long time and much strength to bite into just a few half deep traces. Finally, the electric eel took the hand, and held it to its forehead, before the eel knocked it on a bulging stone. Then, it was all done.
At the sight of the frontal bone being smashed open, the python immediately approached, and its pink tongue rolled out something bowl-sized, with white film. This was a layer of white mustard-like tissue, and through it, you could see a faint blue stone within.
"Aren"t these the blue stones, the ones the pythons gave me? How could it come out of the head of a green water beast?" The electric eel took the object from the tongue of the python, then gently peeled off the white film. The blue stone was exactly like the last one, but clearly, this was a larger one, which had been exposed in front of the electric eel.
Before he could figure out the use of the stone, Chen Fan decided he had no use of it, so he handed it back to the python. Now, a python completely doesn"t know there"s a Chinese virtue known as "implicit" quality, so when it saw that the electric eel had handed the blue stone back, it did not even hesitate before it swallowed it into its belly.
"Can you eat this, too?" Chen Fan was speechless, as the blue stone was smooth to the touch, as well as slippery and tender. Chen Fan turned it over again and again to study it, and no matter from the point of weight or stiffness, it still seemed to be a stone, unlike ghost moon incense which could break open easily and melted in the heat. He had to wonder: Was the python not afraid to get "gallstones" by eating it?
Seeing the python finis.h.i.+ng its food, it was obvious that it was enjoying it, with his eyes wide open in pleasure. Following this, Chen Fan simply controlled the electric eel to swim outside, wanting to see the charm of this strange s.p.a.ce. In the endless ocean, those craggy undersea mountains, and vast basin gullies did not interest the electric eel at all.
Walking around the cave two times, Chen Fan found that the fish here were not too different from the fish in the Atlantic Ocean. They were all very strange, and he could not name them.
After going around for more than a dozen nautical miles, nothing strange was seen, and the electric eel floated slowly toward the surface of the water, wanting to see if this was a super cave or another world. More than three thousand meters deep, when the electric eel swam to six hundred meters deep, his eyes were completely glazed. Through the hazy clear water"s light, it actually could faintly see a round of sun.
"Oh my G.o.d!" Chen Fan"s reaction was like the excitement of Columbus after he discovered north China"s island in 1492. With feelings of both tension and excitement, he controlled the electric eel to swim to a dozen meters depth of shallow water, and looked into this strange s.p.a.ce more clearly.
Half a minute later, when the electric eel found no danger or any human traces, it quietly exposed its eyes to the water. The blue sky was thoroughly blue. In fact, Chen Fan had never seen such a blue sky. It was warm, with a bit of the smell of the sea on the face of the wind, and felt the same as the surface of cotton wool.
To the left of the view, there were a number of mountains, placed around in a circle, continuous, with no end at all. To the right of the line of sight was still the blue sea, also having no end.
"Oh, I"m going to occupy this place. I"m going to rule this world!" Chen Fan raised his head to the sky and sang.
The giant electric eel was like a hungry wolf in a disguise, which had stumbled into a valley full of young sheep, and it was thoroughly exhilarated.
"The wind suddenly ruffled, sending wrinkles into a pool of spring water, and the clouds are warm... " When it was enjoying the nice air and the environment, the electric eel was suddenly shocked. With a scream, its nostrils spewed out numerous water bubbles, and like lightning, it was back in the water, its body bent into a bow and its tail swinging desperately...
Ang!
A loud, clear, piercing cry erupted, as the cold claws of two mining excavators cut through the water in an instant, and the unbreakable force of the pa.s.sage seemed to have hit the electric eel through the blast.
With a wingspan of eighty meters, in addition to the sharp curved beak and black eyes, with its long sharp white brown paws, and no noise, the eagle was terrifying. But it was in the sun, with its glossy feathers glowing, that it was really mesmerizing, as it looked like the eagle was coated with a layer of gold. And those two pairs of sharp-edged black carving eyes were all the time giving out a kind of magnificent aura.
"Too fast, this animal is too fast!" The electric eel"s heart stopped beating, as the predator plunged hundreds of meters into the water.
His eyes were still in intoxicated, as the bird was not small! And, it had such a dive speed! For reference, the fastest flying bird in the world, at a size of up to three to five meters long, was the frigate bird, which could fly as fast as four hundred kilometers an hour. It could also fly as far as 1600 kilometers, which meant that the frigate bird could fly about 110 meters per second. But in front of this golden eagle, it was completely turned into a slug, and it was not qualified to even compare with this lightning fast speed.
"The world is terrible. I"ll go back to the cave and be my own overlord!" With a shudder, Chen Fan controlled the electric eel and ran to the python.
There were no pythons in the cave when he returned home in fear. Chen Fan thought the python had gone out to hunt for food, so he plunged his head into the strange ripples, then returned to his position.
Returning to his old nest, Chen Fan found the python floating under the cliff. When the electric eel swam up to him, he gave the electric eel a lazy look and closed his eyes.
The cow-sized big white head was out of the water, and if anyone could see it, he would have run out of terrified. But Chen Fan was not frightened at all now, and as he pa.s.sed by, the electric eel playfully flicked the snow-white head.
Ho!
The python had not opened its eyes, and a glistening tooth was already halfway through the air. But, when it found it was only the electric eel, it stopped moodily.
Pat!
The electric eel, as it closed its eyes, flicked another tap on its forehead, then ran away quickly.
............
At ten o"clock in the evening, Chen Fan tossed and turned. It was now three days after the escape, so the police should have finished their investigation. He wanted to know something about his family!
With a sigh, he controlled the electric eel to rise to the surface of the water and watched the dark night sky. There was no sound or sight apart from the noisy tide.
Taking a dive tank to rise to the surface, Chen Fan pulled out a new phone card, and edited a text message that read: Kirin hotel... sincerely asking for men and women hosts...physically well, well behavior, character cheerful... PLS call 139 x.x.xX if you are interested in w.a.n.g Bing...
He originally had wanted to use satellite phones, but he only had three satellite phones, and there were a hundred and ten mobile phone cards, each costing just around 100 RMB. So, it seemed a no-brainer.
The text message would be deleted by anyone who had even two months of experience in the mobile phones after seeing it. However, Chen Fan was very confident that w.a.n.g Bing in particular would reply after reading it.
He felt even more confident of this because that contact number was the earliest number he had ever used. In fact, when he first hired w.a.n.g Bing, he had used it to contact him all the time.
Indeed, as expected, about ten minutes later, the new phone card received a call for the first time, and it was still a landline.
"Boss!" w.a.n.g Bing"s voice was as loud as a broken donkey.
"What about the police"s question?" Chen Fan said in a low voice.
"It"s not as bad as I thought it would be. They were ordered by the j.a.panese to break into the house and rob it. The police have not issued a warrant, but according to the evidence, they have identified you as a suspect. Ma Rongtao also called me yesterday to say that he was helping you communicate with the people above, and to handle this matter in a low profile, to minimize criminal liability."
w.a.n.g Bing lowered his voice and continued, "What is being debated now, is whether you attacked the police by mistake, or deliberately. It"s more serious because you were carrying a gun."
"What is the difference? Two policemen were shot. I thought they were robbers. What about Yunmeng and my parents?" Chen Fan said in dismay.
"There"s nothing wrong there. We weren"t there, and they couldn"t ask for anything. Now they live in the old neighborhood, and Yunmeng is on vacation. They"ve frozen your property and a.s.sets, but they haven"t confiscated it yet. Ma Rongtao said yesterday that the difficulty of this matter lies in your running away, otherwise, there would have been a lot of room for maneuvering."
"Besides run away, what else could I do?" Chen Fan clapped himself on the forehead. "As long as they do not send an A cla.s.s arrest warrant, and do not make all of the people in Zhongyun city know, I dunno… but, have the police allowed them to leave Zhongyun?"
"Not yet, but the police also sent a small spy around the neighborhood, to see if they could catch you. If you want to leave, after a while, the police will have no intention of tampering with you."
"Well, look for me online, whenever there is a situation. I"m online every day." Chen Fan looked at the time and hung up the phone.
After much consideration, he decided to call Ma Rongtao tomorrow. The fact that the police did not issue an A-list arrest warrant, means it was not as bad as he had expected.
He would ask for more help. He would pay for it, and he would absolutely then find some help. He, however, was not hopeful in expecting to be stated as innocent.
But, as long as he didn"t get a life sentence, he would try to be okay. Although, he certainly wouldn"t want to be imprisoned, but life imprisonment and non-life imprisonment are two totally different concepts. In case he was caught, the latter he had a lot of tricks to play with. Otherwise, he would have to spend more than ten years in prison if he got caught...
