Reborn As A Giant Scorpion: Evolution By Consumption Chapter 5

"F*ck, how? Is there electricity in the water?"
Alex was shocked.
"There are no traces of humans nearby. It should be a creature in the water." Alex thought about it.
His thoughts were proven right. Not far away, there was a two-meter-long fish. It was wagging its tail, and its whole body was flashing with electric light.
The crackling electric light showed its majesty. It seemed to declare that it was the overlord of this area of the sea.
Alex quickly called out the system panel to check:
Species: Electric Eel
Biological characteristics: it can produce a strong electric current and is a freshwater fish with the most robust discharge ability. The output voltage can reach 300 to 800 volts.
"So it's the famous electric eel. There are all kinds of species in this river." Alex sighed and rushed in the direction of the electric eel.
The electric eel could engage long-distance. It electrocuted Alex and consumed his energy.
Alex decided to rush up directly and finish it off. It was better to have short-term pain than long-term pain.
Seeing Alex rushing over, the electric eel also increased the intensity of its discharge.
The strong crackling current made the temperature of the water rise a little.
Fortunately, Alex had completed the second evolution or he would not be able to withstand such a strong electric current.
If it were any other creature, even a bison or a hippo weighing one to two tons, it would not be able to withstand it.
Just because the normal skin was rough and thick, it did not mean that the "Electrical Resistance" was also high.
The penetrating power of the electric current was incredible!
Moreover, this electric eel did not look like an ordinary creature. It should be a mutated species in this river.
Its body size reached two meters, and it was dark all over. It was far more than an ordinary electric eel.

With such a powerful discharge ability, if it happened to an ordinary human being, he would probably not be able to move a step and be directly electrocuted to death.
Although Alex could withstand the strong electric current, he also felt numb all over his body.
His movement speed was also considerably slow. It took him a full minute to move a distance of dozens of meters.
The electric eel saw that Alex was getting closer and closer, and the electric current that he had always been proud of could not cause any substantial damage to Alex.
The electric eel began to panic, swinging crazily and trying to escape.
How could Alex give it this chance?
He directly activated the skill [ Sudden Impact ], and the powerful energy attached to his tail stinger now stabbed at the electric eel!
When he had completed the first evolution, Alex's venom could easily poison the cobra, not to mention that he had already completed the second evolution!
After being stabbed, the electric eel could no longer move after a few seconds.
"You still dare to attack me. Let's see if your electricity is better or my venom."Alex was proud, and he had solved another powerful prey.
Alex picked up the electric eel's corpse and swam directly to the shore. He was ready to enjoy the evolution energy on the beach.
Alex found a grass patch on the shore. He first relaxed his body, which was numb from the electricity. Then he began to devour the electric eel.
Halfway through the devouring process, the system suddenly issued a notification. "Host, your current evolution points have met the conditions to start the next evolution."
"Huh? So Fast? I remember that after swallowing the piranha, there should still be more than 20 points left."
Alex was a little surprised.
The system replied, "Reporting to Host, the electric eel you just devoured is a strange species. More powerful energy was given to its genes."

"Is it because it can discharge electricity?"Alex asked.
"Yes, Host. Creatures with strange skills will bring more energy. You can pay more attention to these particular species in the future. For example, this electric eel can provide you with 70 evolution points."
"That's right. Then let's start the next evolution quickly."
"Okay, host, but you need six hours to evolve this time. During this time, you must stay still. I recommend that you find a safe place now."
The system reminded him.
"Six hours? That's too long. As long as you are disturbed by any enemies, it will be too dangerous."
Alex looked around; the area was filled with wildness and killing intent. There was no safe place.
In this way, it seemed that the safest place was the cave at the beginning.
However, he had just decided that he would bid farewell to that cave forever. It would be too embarrassing to go back now.
Alex decided to dig another cave nearby to act as a safe house to complete this evolution.
Without hesitation, Alex waved his thick pincers towards the ground.
In a short while, he dug a hole that was enough to accommodate himself. However, for safety reasons, Alex continued to dig two meters deeper.
After entering the cave, Alex blocked the entrance of the cave again and hid it well.
"Let's start the evolution now."
"Okay, host, your third evolution has begun. This evolution process will last about six hours."
..
Another familiar feeling spread throughout his body. It was extremely comfortable.
Alex's body size also expanded. 80 cm... 85 cm... 90 cm.
When he completed the evolution, Alex's body size reached an astonishing 140 cm.
Fortunately, Alex dug the hole a little deeper at the beginning. Otherwise, it would have been challenging to accommodate his current body.
Alex opened the system panel and looked at the data of his current body.
Host: Alex
Race: Arthropoda Arachnida Far East Scorpion
Lifespan: 170 years
Level: Tier 3
Age: 0.1 years
Evolution Points: 0
Ability: Sudden Impact (through the augmentation of energy and gravity, increasing speed and damage, increasing attack speed by double, resulting in triple attack effect)
Water Resistance (water-resistance within 10 hours, underwater breathing, regardless of water pressure)
Limb Regeneration (to a certain extent, recovery of lost body parts and organs, can not exceed 20% of the total body volume)
Electric Shield (releasing electricity, forming an electric field around the body to form a protective shield, significantly reducing the damage received, lasting for 20 minutes)
"Eh, I've gained two skills this time." Alex was amazed.
"Yes, under normal circumstances, the host would only gain limb regeneration. The other skill was because you've absorbed the electric eel and obtained its genes and energy. The system has formed a brand new skill, electric shield, according to the electric eel's genes and energy."
"I can only use this shield for defense; is it not lethal?"
"Reporting to the host, the system has formed the best plan according to the electric eel's genetic system, which is the electrostatic shield. The voltage is 200 volts, so the lethality is very limited, but the defensive effect is powerful. After all, the genetic strength of this electric eel is limited. If, in the future, you devour stronger charged creatures, it may have a stronger current output skill. And as you get stronger, the effects of these skills will greatly increase."
