Chapter 2353 - Chapter 2417: Electric Eel

Being shocked by an electric eel is not a good thing. The eel's electric organs are located on either side of its body, and most of its body and vital organs are wrapped in highly insulated structures, making it like a big battery in the water. We know that electric current takes the path of least resistance, so when discharging in the water, the current is transmitted through the water (which has less resistance than the eel's body), so the eel won't shock itself. But if the eel is caught in the air, since the air has more resistance than its body, it will shock itself when discharging. Additionally, if an eel's insulators on both sides are damaged simultaneously, discharging will cause a short circuit phenomenon like two exposed wires. The amount of electricity it releases can easily kill smaller animals and sometimes even larger ones, such as a horse wading in a river or a swimming cow, which can be stunned by the eel.
