Silver serpents raged and fierce winds howled. Swathes of trees around him were reduced to charcoal, yet the metal cage at the edge remained completely intact.
This was the power of technology!
No matter how fierce the lightning the Golden Eel unleashed, it could never rival true lightning born of nature-a staggering hundred million volts!
It could not break through the Faraday Cage!
Zhang Ming waited patiently, his heart beating faster and faster. He even found his spirits soaring as never before. Under the influence of adrenaline, his nervous system, as worn-out as discarded plastic, sprang back to life.
After three months on the deserted island, his mind had grown increasingly numb, and everything felt like irritating noise. As the hunting instinct buried deep in his genes awakened and his blood raced faster and faster, even his halved mental value began to climb at an unprecedented rate!
It's slowing down, but the time isn't right yet.
Wait a little longer...
As time passed, the Golden Eel swam noticeably slower than it had an hour earlier.
Perhaps it was tired.
Washed by the flowing water, the chili pepper embedded in its body was slowly draining away.
Chili pepper was not actual poison, after all.
Zhang Ming narrowed his eyes. The sharp rise in his mental value sent his emotions surging, yet brought a contradictory sense of calm.
Through the gaps in the Faraday Cage, he carefully watched the Golden Eel's movements.
The enormous Golden Eel, weighing roughly one or perhaps two tons, was swimming back to its lair.
It really was tired!
If this Golden Eel can heal its wounds, or if it escapes into the sea, everything will have been for nothing.
I can't miss this opportunity.
Looking at the various tools in his backpack, he made up his mind.
