Super Electric Eel Avatar

Chapter 237 The Purple Pupil

RAWRR!

Realizing that the black electric eel was coming, the giant python found its backbone, and closed in to the eel quickly. Two enormous beasts, both about a hundred meters long, were creating a stark contrast, as one was black and the other was white.

Gazing nonchalantly, the eel was observing all the animals that were there to snatch the plant. Unfortunately, the electric eel did not seem ruthless enough, so none of them backed down.

Well, Chen Fan didn’t mind if they didn’t back down. He controlled the eel to head toward the 5-meter-tall plant that had a purple fruit on it.

The purple fruit was the size of a steering wheel. Its lustrous surface gleamed brightly, like jade that was crafted by an outstanding master.

The purple fruit was odorless. The electric eel touched it with its front claw, and it bounced to the touch like a ball.

This act of the electric eel had somehow stirred up the possessive desire within the creatures, which were also there for the fruit. They no longer cared about the enemy or about its surekill hit.

ROAR!

Before the electric eel could even take its stance, the giant white python gave it a stare, then slithered ahead to fight. Chen Fan was caught by surprise. He looked at the snake and thought to himself, this fellow is a strong contender. He was suddenly elated, like an addict who took a puff of opium, or a corrupt official tasked with ransacking a house.

A smile then came to his face. But of course, smiles aside, the giant python wouldn’t be able to hold off this many opponents. What’s more, their target was actually the electric eel. So, two porcupines and a rough-skinned gray bear slid past the snake and went straight for the eel.

The electric eel’s action was simple. It went further away quickly to ensure a safe distance from the purple fruit. Then, a deep blue light started to shine brightly from its body.

Regardless if it was human or animal, they all had an undeniable fear toward lightning, so much so that the first thing that came to mind when seeing lightning in close range was to escape. A few clumsy animals scrambled away, as if to show by example that one can never outrun lightning. Within less than a millisecond, unlucky beasts that were still within the 80 meters perimeter were shocked by the electric eel’s blue lightning arc, which was as thick as a bucket. Without making a sound, they all stood like wooden sticks that were planted in the ground, emitting a strong burnt smell.

Now that the electric eel had been improving its strength for the past two months, as it used up all the blue crystals, the voltage released by the electric eel was now as strong as 100,000 volts. The eel’s physique was also upgraded by a few levels.

In terms of pure strength, even the giant python was no match against it. To it, killing a few 5- to 6-meter long animal within seconds was as simple as having a meal.

After taking care of those beasts, the dust around the giant python had also settled. The snake was standing still by the defeated creatures, keeping a tight watch on the electric eel.

"Cloudracer, let’s scram!"

Chen Fan packed his barrett sniper rifle into the gunny sack and jumped on Cloudracer’s back.

"It’s time to bail!" The electric eel had the plant in its palm. It gave a shriek, then ran away.

The giant python looked at the electric eel, then at the dead Mystic Panther. It then opened its jaw, which was jammed pack with ferocious teeth, and sank them in the panther’s head.

......

Half and hour later, Chen Fan was sitting in the stone pagoda and playing with the steering-wheel sized purple fruit. Meanwhile, the giant python was leaning against the window sill, looking at the purple fruit intently.

On the table lay a palm-sized light blue stone, very similar to the blue stones that were in the greenwater beast. These stones, however, were obtained from the forehead of the Mystic Panther by the giant python.

Chen Fan ignored the stones for now, since they were rather useless to him now. He had his full attention on the fruit that he was cradling anyway.

Judging from its lustrous appearance, it was impossible to tell what was so special about it. There was not even any scent on it. In fact, it looked like a magnified giant purple grape.

After pondering for a long time and still being clueless, Chen Fan took out the Kun Wu dagger and cut a slice of flesh about the size of a wine cup off the fruit. He then gave it to the electric eel just to see what was so special about it. He had to wonder what was driving so many animals crazy to fight for it.

The fruit was purple on the outside, with clear jelly flesh on the inside and a mild milky scent. The giant python also felt like its heart was sliced as Chen Fan sliced into the fruit. Its eyeball almost fell out of the sockets in anticipation.

After feeding the small piece of fruit to the electric eel, Chen Fan went back into the stone pagoda. He transferred his thoughts onto the eel and quietly observed if there was any change.

The fruit was digested within 10 seconds. However, three hours then passed and the electric eel was still the same. As a matter of fact, its stomach was growling with hunger again.

The ever determined Chen Fan took out the Kun Wu dagger again, sliced a fingernail size piece from the fruit and ate it himself, just to see what effects it would have on a human instead. From the electric eel’s tasting, he could at least deduct that there was no poison in the fruit, so he knew that he wouldn’t be poisoned.

Alas, the results were just as depressing. Chen Fan had no reaction whatsoever, even after waiting a long time. It was not like in the novels, where people find some treasures and consume them, then either feel boiling hot right after or a tingling sensation deep into their bones—or even excruciating pain!

"Since it’s useless, let’s give it to the python then!" Chen Fan sighed heavily, bringing the fruit to the giant snake, who was looking at it intently.

Cloudracer didn’t seem interested, so Chen Fan didn’t even leave some for it! Like a weasel spotting a lively little chick, the python’s mouth was watering impatiently. Before Chen Fan could fully extend both his hands, the giant python had already come up swiftly and swallowed it.

Once it had swallowed the whole fruit, like an addict with a dose of heroine, the python curled up by the stone pagoda and relaxed. Since Chen Fan had nothing else to do, he decided to control the electric eel and head toward the sea waters of Little Japan, attempting to catch some expensive ingredients for his restaurant.

He had his parents hire five experienced seafood handlers. They worked on the top floor of the restaurant and were in charge of the abalones, sharks’ fins, sea cucumber, fish maw and others.

Eaten fresh, these seafood treasures were not as impressive as when they were air dried, where their full potential lies. In fact, air drying seafood catapulted its price even higher.

Japan was known as the kingdom of abalones. The three different types that the country produced were amidori abalone, kippin abalone, and oma abalone, which were the creams of the crop among all abalones.

Among the three, amidori abalone was the greatest, and was even named as the king of abalone. Chen Fan didn’t know how tasty it was, but he did know that these dried abalones were sold like gold by the gram.

It was easy to locate the breeding grounds of these abalones from the Internet. All he needed was to research their approximate location.

At this point, Chen Fan was lying down on his bed for a short nap. If only he had looked down, he would have seen that there was some unusual science-defying changes that were happening on the forehead of the giant python. These changes couldn’t be explained with physics, similar to the case of the electric eel.

There were purple rays shining on the giant python’s smooth white scaly skin. The color of the rays was exactly the same as the fruit. It spread throughout the snake’s body in a complicated pattern, like a mirage of Chinese wisteria vines. It was so utterly surreal that it felt like a dream!

After who knows how long, the Chinese wisteria started to bloom and illuminate. That lasted only for two seconds, then the Chinese wisterias started to dissipate, as if all that had happened was just a reverie.

Swoosh!

The giant python opened its eyes abruptly. Its originally black pupils were now purple! Yes indeed, the python’s pupils had astonishingly turned purple, with a slight glimmer in them.

Literally speaking, the giant python had a fearless and formidable look in its eyes, possessing an enchanting, mysterious energy! Scientifically speaking, the giant python’s eyes had undergone some sort of changes that couldn’t be explained at this moment!
