237 The Purple Pupil (1/2)

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.
