After arriving home, Chu Xian put the electric eel into a basin and started prodding it with a wooden rod.
"Pa!" The angry eel beat its tail against the rod, letting out electric sparks.
Electric eels released shocks from 300 – 800V and could make a man faint. They were one of the world's most frightening freshwater animals, and a group of eels could easily kill a man, but they were still edible and could be used as ornamentation.
Chu Xian smiled when the eel hit the rod and he continued annoying it. Some ten minutes later, the electric eel lay still in the basin exhausted with no electricity left in its body.
Electric eels didn't have an unlimited amount of electricity stored in their bodies and differently sized eels had different amounts. After they used up their power, it would be some time before they could shock anything again. Chu Xian turned into a fish and use the hands on his head to directly insert the eel into his mouth.
