The electric eel quickly turned its head and swam rapidly in the water, seemingly looking for the perfect opportunity to attack next.
Then the electric eel released a slight current, and another strangely shaped beast received the attack signal. It leaped out of the water on the other side at great speed, its target Fu Xiyao.
Li Yu reacted just as quickly; almost the instant the beast leaped out of the water, he fired another arrow.
"Whoosh!"
The arrow pierced the beast's heart, and the beast's corpse fell to the ground, unable to move again.
After shooting the eel, Li Yu quickly turned around and nocked an arrow. His eyes were already locked on the giant electric eel, and the bowstring was taut.
The electric eel seemed to sense the danger and quickly dived into the water, trying to avoid the attack.
"Whoosh!"
Li Yu's arrow shot out like a meteor, heading straight for the electric eel's head.
The armor-piercing arrow swiftly entered the water; although its speed was greatly reduced, it still easily struck the electric eel's head.
With a "bang".
The electric eel's head was pierced by the arrow, and it exploded instantly, sending up a high spray of water.
Its massive body tumbled in the water, releasing electric currents, but the electric eel, having lost its head, had lost the precise control of its current, and its power was not as great as before.
The electric eel's body writhed and twisted, struggling for several rounds before finally coming to a stop.
After the battle ended, the scene was so quiet that only the sound of rain could be heard.
Fu Xiyao cautiously looked around to make sure there were no other threats.
After calming down completely, Li Yu finally let out a long sigh of relief and stretched her stiff body.
That terrifying electric current could have instantly killed an ordinary person, yet he still suffered a great loss.
If the cyclone hadn't absorbed the massive electric current in his body at the crucial moment and also isolated some of it, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it at all, and might even have been electrocuted.
"Are you alright?" Li Yu turned to Fu Xiyao, his voice trembling slightly.
The recent crisis had put him on edge; Fu Xiyao had almost died right in front of him.
Upgrading his armor slots did increase his defense somewhat, which might allow him to withstand the attack, but as a perception-type awakened being, Fu Xiyao had absolutely no chance of surviving that blow.
I really don't know what Fu Xiyao was thinking. She actually rushed up to save me. She's completely insane.
"I'm fine, thanks to you." Fu Xiyao shook her head gently.
Although she managed to quickly shed the rainwater and avoid the electric shock, her face was still somewhat pale.
Even so, her eyes were filled with determination as she looked at Li Yu.
Li Yu walked over to Fu Xiyao and carefully checked whether she was really not injured.
"Don't do such a foolish thing again next time." After the examination, Li Yu looked at Fu Xiyao with a strange emotion in her eyes.
"I understand, I'll be more careful next time."
Fu Xiyao lowered her head slightly, not daring to say much, but she knew that Li Yu was acting out of concern for her.
"But, Little Black, it..."
Fu Xiyao looked up with teary eyes and hurriedly pointed to the motionless little black dog.
Li Yu then noticed Xiao Hei's condition and immediately went over to check on him.
Little Black lay helplessly in the heavy rain, its entire body charred from the electric shock, breathing faintly through its nostrils, barely clinging to life.
Li Yu quickly squatted down and gently stroked Xiao Hei's charred mane. He could sense that Xiao Hei was on the verge of death.
"What should we do? Is there any hope for Xiao Hei?" Fu Xiyao choked up, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face.
The little black cat's head was still crackling with residual electricity. Li Yu gently pried open the little black cat's mouth to check, and suddenly a dull and lifeless alien beast crystal core fell out of the little black cat's mouth. It was the same one that he had fed the little black cat earlier.
"A beast core!" Li Yu suddenly realized something.
"The electric eel's core might be able to save Xiao Hei."
Without hesitation, Li Yu quickly arrived at the water's edge and forcefully pulled the floating electric eel carcass ashore.
Even after death, the electric eel's body, which is over ten meters long, still shimmers with a faint blue light, and its electrical cells remain active.
Li Yu pulled out a dagger and quickly slashed open the electric eel's body, finally finding a golden-yellow alien beast crystal core at the rear of the eel's corpse.
The light emanating from this crystal core reveals its abundant electrical energy, and it is significantly larger than any other beast crystal core I've seen before.
"Little Black, hang in there!" Fu Xiyao kept stroking Little Black, her voice full of encouragement, as rain and tears dripped onto Little Black's body.
Li Yu picked up the golden crystal core and quickly returned. Without hesitation, he immediately pried open Xiao Hei's mouth, fed the crystal core into Xiao Hei's mouth, and then gently closed its mouth again.
As soon as the crystal core entered its mouth, Xiao Hei's body was suddenly surrounded by a weak electric current, crackling with static electricity.
Fu Xiyao was shocked twice and quickly pulled her hand back, looking at Xiao Hei with anticipation.
A few minutes later, Xiao Hei's breathing became stronger, and there seemed to be electricity flowing under its charred mane. A surge of lightning power was constantly gathering on Xiao Hei's four hooves.
After a while, Xiao Hei's body suddenly began to convulse violently.
Just as Fu Xiyao was worried and at a loss, Xiao Hei suddenly opened its eyes, and a bolt of lightning shot out from its mouth, striking the ground next to it.
"Hiss."
Little Black let out a loud cry, then suddenly jumped up, full of energy, as if it had recovered completely.
"It's a success!" Fu Xiyao exclaimed in surprise, and quickly went forward to comfort Xiao Hei.
Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted Xiao Hei's head.
"You lazybones, you scared me to death."
Xiao Hei seemed very happy with its transformation, constantly craning its huge head to greet Li Yu.
Then, as if showing off, it ran a lap in front of the two of them. Little Black was extremely fast, and electric currents surged through its limbs and hooves.
"It seems that Xiao Hei has not only recovered, but has also awakened lightning-type abilities." Fu Xiyao wiped away her tears with a happy expression.
"Great, Little Black."
Xiao Hei seemed to understand Fu Xiyao's words. It wagged its tail triumphantly and then nudged Li Yu with its head again.
"It's practically turned into a dark horse, a monster!" Li Yu exclaimed, looking at the electric current.
A moment later, Li Yu collected the crystal cores of the other two strange beasts as well. Although the crystal cores were very small, they were still usable and could be used as food for Xiao Hei if necessary.
Thinking of this, Li Yu chuckled to himself. Such a rare thing, and he still thinks it's too small, and wants to give it to a horse to eat.
"The changes are really significant."
When Li Yu returned with the crystal core, Fu Xiyao had already cut off all the electric eel meat.
He just switched his experience target and upgraded the jar.
