Chapter 203 Catch All in One Draf
When he returned to the cave alone, the electric eel caught two sharp-tipped fish and took them back for a late night snack. The next morning, when Chen Fan was in the middle of his dream, the white python swam next to the electric eel and gently touched the electric eel with its tail.
Opening his eyes and glancing at it, the electric eel continued to sleep. But he did not think the python would send a cold breath on his back, making it like taking a cold shower in February, and he felt chilled from head to tail.
"You"re nuts!" Chen Fan controlled the electric eel and used its tail to hit it, but it was eluded by the cunning python. It then used its two black eyes and looked at the electric eel.
With this disturbance, Chen Fan could not sleep anymore, so he got up from the bed, and after was.h.i.+ng, he opened the computer to surf the Internet. But the python didn"t want to let him go. The train-like body kept swimming alongside upstream from the electric eel, either giving a scratch, or a chill.
After getting up and closing the laptop, Chen Fan took out the stones that the python had given him. He then took two of them and threw them out the window toward the python, since it seemed to want the things so desperately. He still didn"t understand how the python benefitted by eating the blue stone.
Indeed, as expected, after seeing the two blue stones flying out of the window of the stone tower, the python immediately stopped disturbing the electric eel, and ran to the bank, then used its tongue to take the stones up. It then closed its eyes and quietly enjoyed its feast.
"Is this something that strengthens the body, just like the Taisui?" With a try, Chen Fan threw the last blue stone into the electric eel"s mouth.
The result was disappointing, as the fist-sized blue stone had now been in the stomach for two hours, without any trace of digesting or visible results. Chen Fan had to continue surfing the Internet, figuring that the blue stone was useless.
In the afternoon, the python was in good spirits again, and when it came to the electric eel, its mouth spat to the water next to it, and visible to the naked eye, a cold mist sprayed on the surface of the water, which made the sea water freeze into a layer of ice. Such a strange sight in front of the electric eel directly stunned him, as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Is it a beast?" "Warcraft?" "Genie?" The electric eel touched the ice with its paw. It was cold, not fake...
He knew snakes were cold-blooded, but that didn"t mean that they were cooler than the outside world. Rather, it did not regulate its own temperature, and its temperature could only change with the outside world.
So….that"s why it ate the blue stones?
And, if this thing could also be strengthened, then why does it exchange the stones for ghost moon incense?
Chen Fan remembered that the python had improved in speed and strength after it had taken the ghost moon incense, but there was no change in the chilled breath. Was it the ghost moon incense, which would strengthen the body, and then be paired with this blue stone, which then strengthens the spell? This seemed very likely.
The electric eel"s discharge ability, which was derived from its abdominal special muscle tissue, had no relation with magic, power, or so on, so strengthening the body"s muscles would also increase its voltage. This explains why the python had not changed significantly, at least ever since it had taken the ghost moon incense, and why it could only increase by eating the blue stone.
Because this chill had been cla.s.sified in a "spell" category, it was not related to muscles or organs. Since this could strengthen the "spell", it certainly contained a lot of energy. So, if he should catch a hundred or a thousand, to grind to powder, letting the Taisui absorb that, the electric eel could then again eat the Taisui, to strengthen the body?
Hmmmm….
Thinking of it like this, the electric eel did not speak, as he patted the head of the python, motioning it to keep up with him, in order to hunt the green water beast. The python was quick to react, and with just a simple look in the eye from the electric eel, it followed behind him readily.
As the electric eel returned to the location of yesterday"s ambush, he turned his gaze to the snake. The python gently poked out its tongue on the bottom of the sea, then remained motionless.
The python"s patience was so good, that it could lie in wait for a few days, just to ambush the creatures pa.s.sing in front of it. The electric eel"s patience was not known, but he already knew it was not good. Leaving the python behind, the electric eel stuck its belly on the bottom of the sea, slowly moving toward the hills, ready to strike.
Ho!
The python saw his movements, swam up at once, and with an impatient eye, caught him with his tail.
"Is there any danger?" when he thought of the miserable appearance of the last python, he thought that it might have to endure loss, which made it cautious.
Stopping to pat it on the head, the electric eel"s eyes and expression signaled to the python to stay there, and that he would go alone. Its attack was too simple, and the bite force was not strong, as it could only use its teeth to break the muscle, but could not cause further damage. Also, it was very difficult for those who were covered with grease, as it was.
Furthermore, the python"s great ice attack was temporarily unable to form a lethal force. Hence, it would not be much use to let it go up, so the electric eel decided it would rather go alone. The python seemed to understand this all, and he wagged his tail and continued to lurk.
Chen Fan then lifted his spirit and controlled the electric eel to move toward the hills. The boundless hills were like a mountain range, stretching to the end of one"s line of sight. When the electric eel was close to a rock, it gradually increased its own voltage to release, in order to allow it to measure the surrounding terrain. The current limit of 60,000 volts could detect a range of 3,500 meters. It was definitely a home travel, killing, and fire setting weapon.
First, the voltage was opened to three thousand volts, and after accomplis.h.i.+ng the clearance of hundreds of meters without danger, Chen Fan gradually increased the output. There was no danger within a kilometer, so the electric eel dug its head out of the stone and broke into the unknown territory.
The rolling line of the hills was gentle and sloped. The electric eel, clinging to the rock for more than five thousand meters, was about to find its first target, when it thought it had already failed.
What it saw was a fifty meter long green water beast, curled up on its knees, asleep and unaware of the danger. Relaxing his nervous mood, Chen Fan must be quick and decisive, as he could not let it send out a high-frequency shout.
One step at a time, silently he crept closer to it. When he was at a distance of two hundred and twenty meters, the green water animal seemed to become aware, as the head turned around and the eyes opened wide.
Boom...
Without hesitation, the electric eel"s swarthy scales instantly turned to dazzling blue light. The green water beast was seized by a metamorphosis, as its ma.s.sive body suddenly curled up into a shrimp, with its mouth that was not open fully enduring a second blow.
Boom!
The electric eel came up to him, and the claw the size of a van caught him in the head. The other three claws clicked and grasped its two upper limbs. The high-pressure attack in the flesh was more effective than any highly toxic chemical a.s.sault, and the green water beast struggled for two seconds, then went off to see the great G.o.d.
Using the same technique to remove the blue stones from its frontal bone, the electric eel kept looking for another target. He continued to wander for about thirty seconds, and a green water beast came into the electric eel"s sight. This was a little guy just over twenty meters long, that was looking around but finding that there was no other big blue water beast around.
The little guy was easy to hunt. He did not care whether it saw him, as he rushed up to make sure it was killed before it could even shout. Unfortunately, this guy"s frontal bone was too small, as it was just a little bit bigger than an egg, and the color was not that blue, but was more of a green.
"No wonder the boa constrictor didn"t take the little one yesterday." Shaking his head, he continued to hunt the next target.
By using the enhanced good eyesight of the electric eel and the human mind of a man, the electric eel found great success in his hunt. By noon, he had received fifteen blue stones of varying sizes as the spoils of his battles.
When he felt it was enough, he went back to the house. There, Chen Fan seemed to find something strange in the distance. As he approached, he realized that the color of the seawater was different, because it was actually a mountain that stood in the hills.
The mountain was about 1, 200 meters high, and the mountainside was very thick. The electric eel made a great circle around it. It was three to five kilometers, so not a big one, but not a small mountain either. More interesting to Chen Fan was that, at the top of the mountain, occasionally, there was a green water beast swimming around.
On the rocks below the hillside, Chen Fan carefully controlled the electric eel to the top of the mountain. Then, Chen Fan gawked at the scene, his mouth opened and closed, as he was again excited and nervous. He found that there was so many green water beasts...
The mountaintop was flat, and the central part had an obvious big concave, which was just in the sight of the electric eel. As such, he would have found more than 50 green water beasts, each a minimum of 10 meters long, the largest of which was more than eighty meters long. And the more they got in the middle, the denser they were, and the whole mountain was conservatively estimated to have six or seven hundred of them!
I"m too excited, too nervous!
Chen Fan"s thoughts swirled.
What if he could get rid of all of them? Even if nothing else, if these things could be ground to powder, how many levels would it let the electric eel"s strength, speed, and voltage increase? If the python swallowed it, then its ice attack, which would cause a temporary freeze, should not be too much of a problem...
Unfortunately, Chen Fan could only fantasize in his mind, as so many green water beasts were all together, and the result of his killing would be absolutely worse than that of the python, so much so that his bones might never be found...
"Sigh." Chen Fan was like a successful intruder into the headquarters of the Swiss bank, the thieve at the bottom of the vault, where tons of tons of gold was in sight, but there was too much of the gold, so he could not take it all away, and could only stare.
"G.o.d, can you lend me a nuclear bomb... " Chen Fan even had a thought to rob a nuclear submarine, but he did not have the ability to ignite a nuclear missile.
Thirty seconds later, he found a little green water beast swimming on this side, so he could withdraw his head and go home. Back at the area where they waited yesterday, the python was still lying motionless, and beside it was a b.l.o.o.d.y 40-meter-long green water animal that was lying on its back.
When the electric eel came back, the python was so excited, that it swam out of the sand pit and around the electric eel.He took the blue stone he had harvested and gave it to glance. The electric eel picked up the green water animal from the ground and swam to the old nest. The python followed him obediently.
..................
"One for you, one for me, one for me, one for me... one for you…"
Five minutes later, two black and white prehistoric behemoths, were staring at each other with their big eyes, while they laid on the edge of the cliff.
The black one was splitting the stones, counting from the bluestones for the white giant, which was staring back, as he took three small stones and set them aside.
Ho!
The white snake c.o.c.ked up half of its body, opened its mouth, and roared. Then the pink tongue swallowed and looked like it wanted to lick the electric eel"s head.
"Get lost!" The electric eel unmercifully interrupted its good wishes, s.n.a.t.c.hing up the blue stone on the ground and exiting.
The python killed one himself, and Chen Fan gave it three, so that he had twelve blue stones left. When he returned to the stone tower, Chen Fan picked out a piece and placed it on the iron plate. Then he tapped it with a hammer.
The blue stones were as hard as regular stones, and Chen Fan took a long time to break them into powders of varying sizes. In turns, all the bluestones were broken, and Chen Fan patted his hands and carefully poured them into a gla.s.s jar with a ghost moon incense Taisui.
If he succeeded, he wouldn"t have to worry about adding a lot of herbs. After was.h.i.+ng his hands to eat, Chen Fan again logged onto the Chinese net, then read a few hours of a novel, but still, the blue liquid in the pool did not reduce at all.
"Was it impossible?" Chen Fan looked at the gla.s.s tank, suspicious. He experimented with many strange substances, and all could be swallowed up by the Taisui. What"s more, it"s fast, and it"s obvious in an hour or two, so there"s no reason why a python could digest something, and the Taisui not be able to then absorb it, too.
Chen Fan suddenly realized that one possibility could be that the blue stone energy was too much, so it greatly extended the time that the Taisui needed to digest. It was like that time, when he did the experiment with the ghost moon incense...
He took out a dagger and cut the size of an egg from his Taisui, to make it easier to observe. Indeed, as expected, by six o"clock in the evening, the tissue that was missing from the Taisui had recovered by half, and the blue liquid in the fibergla.s.s had not changed.
"Yes!" Chen Fan made a snap with his fingers, as he didn"t have to worry about the herbal medicine anymore.
"How good would it be to have all the blue water beasts in the mountains?" Lying in bed, Chen Fan daydreamed of this. Blue stones were easy to keep, and they could save a lot of time, without worrying about energy.
And the sea was so large, that there was nothing strange about the place where the blue water beasts had taken its place. Chen Fan did not believe that the group of green water beasts were also like the ghost hair jellyfish, which is a unique species, where killing them could make them extinct.
In summation, Chen Fan thought that there must then be many kinds of animal that had the stone in their head in the undulating world.
...............
After pondering for a long time, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a feasible solution. The venom that now spewed from the electric eel had become so viscous, that it was very near like the petroleum oil. So, what if he could fill it in the abandoned submersible that the Frenchman gave him?
The submersible was fully 15 meters long and three meters high, and when it was fully charged, it was able to detach the liquid thoroughly with a high power voltage. Not to mention the possible help it would be in killing hundreds of green water beast, or at least all the green water beasts around the capsule.
If the effect was not good, he could control the electric eel to go to the war zone in World War 2 and salvage some of the sunken s.h.i.+ps. During that time, most of the naval bombs were filled with TNT, as well as a small amount of mixed explosives and black Sorkin, which were more than twice as powerful as venom.
Chen Fan could not help but feel excited at the thought of the idea, this allied army, and j.a.pan in 1944, the six-day near sea battle of Leyte Island in the Philippines, light aircraft carriers, both sides with 35 s.h.i.+ps…. Not to mention the two hundred other wars.h.i.+ps, and more than two thousand planes!
With so many fighting machines, the number of s.h.i.+ps that sank was also alarming. j.a.pan had four aircraft carriers, three battles.h.i.+ps, six heavy cruisers, and so on. The United States had three aircraft carriers, and more than 1,000 aircrafts, and so on. So how many unexploded bombs were there in that area?
It"s so wicked...
Chen Fan also trembled thinking of this idea, about how some of the wars.h.i.+ps were taken out, but there were so many numbers of s.h.i.+ps that they couldn"t salvage, or that had no salvage value. IF the electric eel swept through several rounds, could it pick out the quant.i.ties of bombs that could blow up a small country?
When he got up and turned on his computer, he quickly searched the world"s largest sea battle data, then set out immediately after clearing the spot. It was easy to find the exact location, after getting the exact address and then going to Google and searching for it. Closing the computer, Chen Fan rushed outside the stone tower, ready to clean out the abandoned capsule, and convert it into a super bomb.
In the capsule, Chen Fan filled the tank half full of the Taisui liquid. He then took out the pump, and transferred the liquid into the plastic greenhouse film. The plastic greenhouse film, which was made for simple storage, was once used to keep some of the freshwater filters, the gla.s.s jars, the battery packs, and so on, and then the electric eel would carry it in its mouths to the caves. To make things easy, he bought a dozen of them and put them in the dock, and it was a good thing, too, as it had now was making its use!
The soapy water was soon removed, and Chen Fan moved his mind to the electric eel, letting it spray poison into the capsule. After adding a few more bombs in it, it would be absolutely a big killer!
