120 The Hideout in the Deep Sea (1/2)
”Your father and I had wanted her to be our goddaughter. The young lady has no relatives in this world, and she is really pitiful!”
Chen Fan's mother sighed. ”You can look at the situation after we get back. You can slowly cultivate feelings if you feel that she's suitable. Otherwise, you can just treat her as a sister.”
”Um, I got it!” Chen Fan nodded and hung up the phone. He wouldn't object to his parents bringing a pretty young lady back. In fact, it wouldn't be of any use even if he had objected, as his parents would still bring the girl back. He only had the choice of not marrying her, but not the right to refuse her in the house.
Needless to say, Chen Fan also had the same thinking as his parents. It wouldn't be such a bad idea if he developed feelings for her, otherwise he would just have a god sister! Anyway, the girl was only seventeen, and had a few years of ”probation”. Not only was he not affected in terms of chasing girls but he also had another potential one in the making.
”Stop it, you're evil!” Shaking off his unhealthy thoughts, Chen Fan shifted his thoughts over.
As of now, the electric eel had caught a total of four jellyfishes, but the three big and one small poison sacs had not yet been sun-dried and were still watery.
Diving to a depth of 2,500 meters at one go, the electric eel continued with its hunting journey.
Bang…
Bang…
The electric eel released a beam of high-pressure discharge every minute. It was quite lucky this time. After searching for six minutes, the eel sensed that there was a huge group of plankton near the cliff 300 meters below. The electric eel's limit was now 3,000 meters. It could only stay there for around fifteen minutes, whereas it could stay for half an hour at 2,800 meters.
After some thinking, Chen Fan decided to let the electric eel go down and try its luck. There were really too few groups of plankton in the deep sea. Instead of abandoning it to find another one, it would be better to stay behind this group.
Chen Fan exclaimed how lucky he was because only after two minutes, a ghost hair jellyfish entered the eel's induction range. Moreover, the diameter of the jellyfish's body was fifteen meters long which was two meters longer that the previous one.
At that moment, Chen Fan had mixed feelings of hope and fear. Chen Fan had a very deep impression of how nasty the previous jellyfish was. Therefore, to kill this one without getting the eel get injured was probably harder than getting ten heads from throwing a coin ten times.
Nevertheless, Chen Fan still wanted to give it a fight no matter how slim his chances were. At the most he would just get the eel to escape if the situation went wrong.
After swallowing his saliva and slowly moving the eel's tail, he swam 200 meters away from the jellyfish. Chen Fan decided to let the eel use an accelerating distance of 100 meters to produce a strong inertia to rip through the jellyfish with the pike. The electric eel's maximum speed at this depth was around thirty nautical miles, which meant that it could move thirty meters per second.
The electric eel only took three seconds to cover the 100-meter distance. Whoosh! A sharp pike flew like an arrow toward the ghost hair jellyfish. Like the previous time, the ghost hair jellyfish moved its tentacles toward the pike when it sensed it shooting toward it.
The ghost hair jellyfish was ripped through like a candied haw on a stick by the pike. The thing that frustrated Chen Fan was, although the jellyfish had been ripped through like a candied haw and also tortured by a 10,000-volt discharge, it was still displaying its cockroach like vitality, diving toward the bottom of the sea with the pike.
”My god, can you show me something new? You can go to the left, to the right or to the top. Why do you have to escape to the bottom every time?” At this point, Chen Fan could only brace himself and fight to the end with the jellyfish. ”If you can survive till 3,300 meters, I'll just forsake the pike at the most!” Maintaining a distance of 100 meters from the jellyfish, Chen Fan kept praying for it to die quickly.
