191 The White Python Is Equal to a Yellow Dog (2/2)

Artificial ginseng was also ginseng, but its harsh growth conditions and long maturity cycle greatly limits its ability to mass produce, like a radish. To this end, Chen Fan could only again change his idea to swap and use instead the Ganoderma, red ginseng, Sanqi, He Shouwu, crocus flower and so on, as these were the mass produced artificial cultivations of precious herbs available to him.

As for the level of Chinese wolfberry, it was not that Chen Fan didn't want to use it, but it was just that it required a lot, which he saw as a big waste of time, having to devote to grinding and pouring that particular medicine.

”Money... money...” Chen Fan could not help but feel heartache. From the time he started breeding the Taisui, the total cost had amounted to almost thirteen million. And by the end of this year, it would be at least 200 million RMB.

Two hundred million...

Once upon a time, he remembered when he had been still struggling with the difference between the price of Master Kong instant noodles and Fu Manduo noodles, and now, the money was directly up to eleven digits!

”Money... you are the greatest and the most wretched invention of all human beings!” After two sentences of a monologue, Chen Fan pulled out a dagger and cut seven pieces the size of a bowl from the body of the Taisui.

Seven Taisui, Chen Fan used the electronic scale to measure, total nine catty and two Liang, heavier than the Taisui before. After dropping it into the electric eel's mouth, it still had the feeling of being lazy and light. After a night, the sensation became itchy, as if there were thousands of invisible hands scratching the skin of the electric eel.

Chen Fan, who had already had the experience, knew that the electric eel was about to shed its skin again. Indeed, as expected, by the time of noon, this tickle gradually concentrated on the skin, making him feel like peeling off the skin, so as to relieve the itch.

Ho!

The electric eel swam to the rocks, its huge body rubbing against the rocks. The electric eel shed its skin, which was different from a snake shedding its skin. The snake shed its skin in a whole piece, like one's taking off a shirt. But with the electric eel, it was about the same as shedding the cuticle of the dead skin, not like a snake, which was known for shedding skin in the lap.

The first thing that came off was the tail section, and when scales the roughness of buffalo skin were peeled off, they revealed black and tender scales inside. Even the terrible scars that had been left by the mine were shed, leaving no sign of them on the new skin.

It took some time for the old skin to shed off, and the electric eel was feeling lazy, as if its whole body strength was being used up. So, he just ate a few sharks and came back to the lake in the cave to rest.

The strengthening effect was very obvious, as the electric eel had not only greatly enhanced its defense force, but even its vision improved. Also, the primary voltage rose to fifty-five thousand voltage, and the output current was seven hundred amperes!

So, you may be wondering, just what is an output current of more than 50,000 volts and 700 amperes? Let's just say that, if it was converted to an electric motor, it could drive a ten thousand ton ship to thirty knots. And, if it electrified a person, it would take just five seconds to turn them into a burning meat!

Ho!

As Chen Fan was getting into a state of speculation, the python, which was hiding under the cliff, swam to the bank and roared. ”You are forcing me to kill you!”

The electric eel's eyes stared at the distant python, feeling hot, wondering if it had not had enough?! Was it thinking that the Taisui are jelly beans?

The electric eel swam up to it, then opened its mouth. Thick, dark green venom, like an Olympic champion's bow and arrow, which was fast, accurate and fierce, then spurt out at the python.

”Ho!” The python, with a tilt, glided through the poison, then opened its scarlet mouth and pointed at the electric eel in a mad snarl.

”Wait!”

The electric eel blinked its eye, suddenly finding that the python's body was fatter, and its cheeks, forehead, abdomen, and tail, of which the electric eel had beat out the ugly scars, were all gone.

”God, it's impossible!” Chen Fan's heart was jealous, as he could see its tender, snowy scales. It must have just shredded its skin!

It takes a dozen days for a normal snake to shed its skin, and yet it took only about two days for this white python. Did it eat too much Taisui, which then sped up the shedding?

Snake bodies, due to the constant division of the germinal layer of cells, form a new living cell layer under the action of the enzyme. After which, the old cell layer dissolves, which can make a layer of separation between the old layer and the newborn cells. Moreover, the snakes shed their skins three to eight times a year, and each time they shed their skin, their body size can grow even larger.

Ho! The python saw the electric eel's gaze on it for a moment, and then, with a violent roar, came to remind him of its existence.But, its theatrics were a little overdone, as with a white chill, it nearly hit the electric eel's head!

To Chen Fan's surprise, The snake did not bring the blue stone. Instead, the eel brought a two-meter long fish, the whole body of which looked like jelly.

”Bribery?” The electric eel did not hesitate to grab the fish and turn around.

Ho! Looking at the black back departing, the boa constrictor heaved a cry and staged a freestyle dive again.

”Quite reasonable!” The electric eel smiled and looked at the jelly-like fish. It did not ask for Taisui this time, which made Chen Fan feel more than a little proud.

The only flaw was that the python's attitude was quite manic. But, in his non-human identity, he was too lazy to care at the moment.

This strange fish had a long body. In addition, other than the tail having two fish fins, the rest of it was like light jelly. Just looking at it and made the electric eel drool.

The electric eel immediately liked the taste. Cool and lubricated, the taste was tender and sweet, like lychee.

”Crunch, crunch,” the two meters fish was eaten by the electric eel. After biting off the tail and head, he took the whole thing in his mouth, then after tasting it for a long time, he swallowed.

After eating the delicious fish, he suddenly recalled that the python did not seem to have any organs to grab things with, but only the mouth. In other words, the fish was picked up by it in its mouth.

”Oh...” He was a neat freak electric eel, and would not eat any fish that looked ugly or old and sick, so this time he unexpectedly made a mistake.

However, the fish had been eaten, and it was too late to regret it. Chen Fan could only admit he was defeated, and after all, who made this ugly fish to taste so appetizing?!

Just at this threshold, the white python swam up again, its calf size head holding a white, shimmering fish. The fish was still the same as the one that had just been eaten, and it was clear to him that the python was carrying the fish in its tail, and that the electric eel, which was rather fussy, never ate its tail and its head!

The python began to roar again, after it had thrown away the white fish. The electric eel came up to it, then the tail pointed at the white fish on the ground, smashing it into a pulp.

Enraged, the python's roar was suddenly low, and with two bloodshot eyes aimed at the electric eel, it had a barbed upper jaw that opened and closed, as if it would attack the electric eel the next moment. The electric eel's swarthy black scales suddenly became discolored, and the deep blue arcs of countless arms leapt out and exploded. The intense heat generated by the electric arc heated the water molecules in the surrounding air to the boiling point, turning it into a vast mist of fog, shooting tendrils in the electric eel's body.

Ho! The boa constrictor, aware of the gains and losses, slowly retreated a dozen meters, then continued to stare at the electric eel with angry eyes. One black and white, these two giant monsters of the same size, held fast, one with a full look of provocation in the eyes, the other a full of anger. Five seconds later, the python glared at the electric eel and jumped off the cliff with a splash.

”Yellow dog!” Chen Fan looked at the spread of ”fish sauce” on the ground. He sent him two high-priced Taisui that he had bred, and now, because of this fish, it wanted to attack him?! Chen Fan admitted that his move was excessive, but who thought it would make him angry?

”Well, why am I angry with a python?” He wondered aloud, shaking his head. The electric eel continued to sleep beside the stone tower...
