CHAPTER 462: CHAPTER 449: LITTLE ELECTRIC TURNS THE TABLES! GAINS NEW SKILLS!

Along with the system prompt, thick clouds of heavy mist surrounded Xiao Lai’s body. The mist was so dense it seemed almost tangible, and its toxicity appeared to be quite strong.

After a while, Xiao Lai slowly opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and inhaled all the mist back into her body. She bounced around happily a few times.

"Not bad, being able to fully unleash the effects of this Great Mist Fruit. You truly live up to your reputation!" Han Qiwu patted Xiao Lai’s head to show encouragement.

Xiao Lai sneakily glanced at Little Electric nearby and smugly wriggled her body.

"Chirp chirp!!!"

Little Electric, who was lying on its side, couldn’t see Xiao Lai’s expression, but it was still holding back a strong sense of frustration.

Why?!

I ate just as many Mist Fruits!

Why can’t I comprehend the Mist skill?!

Carrying this anger, Little Electric glared at Xiao Lai while fiercely biting into the flesh of a Mist Fruit.

Seeing this, Han Qiwu quickly offered a few words to console it: "Eat slower, no one’s going to take it from you."

Little Electric didn’t respond and gulped down the Mist Fruit in a few bites.

"Alright, let’s head back for now and rest." Han Qiwu glanced at the moon in the sky and then turned to mount the Little Electric Scooter.

But at that very moment—

Sparks of uncontrollable electricity erupted suddenly from Little Electric’s body.

They flew everywhere.

Han Qiwu quickly steered the scooter further away upon noticing this.

Could it be that Little Electric is about to comprehend a skill?

In mid-air, Little Electric seemed to gradually gain control of this power, and the frequency of the electric currents on its body slowly began to stabilize.

A dozen seconds later, Little Electric suddenly raised its head and let out a loud cry. Tiny currents of electricity surged out from its wings, forming a dense, small electric fog around its body with a diameter of approximately 50 centimeters.

The moment the electric fog was completed, it started to tightly attract all the nearby stones. After a few seconds, the stones began revolving around Little Electric, their shapes even shifting slightly.

[Your battle companion: Little Electric has consumed a Mist Fruit and comprehended the skill: Electric Fog Field (Consumes 20% of stamina to form an electric fog surrounding the body)]

"It actually worked." Han Qiwu was a bit stunned.

The power of emotions is pretty intense.

Looks like I’ll need to provoke Little Electric more often in the future.

The angrier it gets, the stronger it becomes!

From the system prompt just now, it was unclear what was special about this skill.

But judging from Little Electric’s current performance, Han Qiwu managed to deduce a few potential uses for it...

Electricity generates magnetism, so the Electric Fog Field can attract nearby objects. Before a fight, Little Electric could pull in surrounding stones to act as protection.

In battle, it might even use the fog to manipulate opponents, bringing them closer to ensure the high-voltage electric field hits its target.

As for other applications, those would need to be tested in real combat scenarios.

Overall, this skill looked to have great potential!

Right at that moment, the Electric Fog Field around Little Electric suddenly dissipated.

"Oh no." Han Qiwu immediately stopped the scooter and rushed toward Little Electric.

Soon enough, the stones previously attracted by the electric fog started falling uncontrollably, raining down on Little Electric like a storm and pummeling its head mercilessly.

Within mere seconds, Little Electric had been knocked unconscious by its own stones and tilted sideways as it plummeted toward the ground.

Fortunately, Han Qiwu had anticipated this scenario and rushed to catch the fainted Little Electric just in time.

Han Qiwu quickly opened Little Electric’s status panel and confirmed that it was merely unconscious.

"Looks like this skill needs a lot more practice."

Time to head home.

On the way back, Han Qiwu glanced at the direction of the blacksmith’s workshop.

Originally, he had planned to head there tonight to make a pair of shoes for the Little Prince and restore the Paralysis Vines.

But he hadn’t expected to spend so much time in the Mist Forest.

"Might as well combine it with retrieving the pickaxe tomorrow," Han Qiwu thought to himself as he rode home.

Upon arriving home, Han Qiwu saw that the Little Prince and Little Shui were still not back yet.

The small courtyard was alive with the sounds of chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, and horses, creating a lively atmosphere.

Wait a second.

Why is there a plump shadow lurking beside the Hongyan Tower?

Late at night, not staying in its own nest—what is it doing skulking by the Hongyan Tower?

Han Qiwu chuckled, casually summoned several branches, and used one to place Xiao Lai back in its nest and another to prop Little Electric up onto a tree trunk.

As for the rest—

They all went to apprehend that shadow.

"Whoosh."

The plump chicken noticed the incoming branch and flapped its wings hurriedly in an attempt to fly away.

"Cluck cluck cluck!"

Wait, Master! I swear, it’s all for the good of the family!

But it wasn’t fast enough. The branch coiled around it in an instant and brought it before Han Qiwu.

Han Qiwu smiled and picked up the chicken. "What are you up to this late at night? Did you lose a leg recently?"

Plump Chicken: "......"

Listen to this—does that sound like something a proper master should say?!

"Cluck!"

The chicken put on an obsequious smile and pointed toward the phoenix tree, clucking once.

"Only one leg lost? That’s acceptable. Let’s go." Han Qiwu carried the chicken to the phoenix tree and picked up a Flame Bird’s leg from its nest.

Hmm, still pretty fresh.

Considering its contribution of the Flame Bird’s leg, he decided to let it off for now.

"Don’t wander around at night—it’s easy to catch a chill." Han Qiwu placed the chicken down on the ground.

The chicken nodded repeatedly, its attitude exceedingly cooperative.

As Han Qiwu walked into the kitchen to wash his hands and prepare some food, the chicken hopped onto a ventilation shaft, gazed at the other animal enclosures, and straightened its wings dramatically.

A heavy burden lies ahead!

I’ve got so much to do for this family.

Master, everything I do is for us!

The hens below, seeing the chicken’s stance, blushed feverishly.

So gallant!

So handsome!

In the kitchen, without even looking, Han Qiwu knew the chicken must be scheming something again.

With the home being this small—

Let it busy itself.

Tonight’s dinner was going to be simple. Using the last piece of meat he had bought from Specialized Zhu, he stir-fried it with cauliflower.

After quickly finishing his meal, Han Qiwu went out to the yard and grabbed the Azure Moon Watering Can to water the plants.

"Splash, splash, splash."

After watering all the plots, Han Qiwu could see that the cistern below had collected some more moon dew.

Satisfying.

At this moment, heavy footsteps echoed from the entrance.

The Little Prince and Little Shui had returned.

Han Qiwu quickly glanced at the system prompt and saw that their haul for the day was about the same as the day before.

"Yip yip yip!"

Excited to see Han Qiwu, Little Shui jumped off the Little Prince’s back and hopped over eagerly to pounce on him.

"Tired?" Han Qiwu bent down to pick up Little Shui and casually pulled a Mist Fruit out of his inventory, handing it over.

Little Shui shook its head, its eyes lighting up at the sight of the Mist Fruit. It stretched out its big claws to grab it and started eating impatiently.

Seeing this, the Little Prince set down its small backpack and hurried over, mimicking Little Shui by hopping enthusiastically around Han Qiwu.

The ground shook.

"No no no, stop hopping! There’s one for you too." Han Qiwu quickly pressed the Little Prince down and tossed a Mist Fruit its way.

If it kept bouncing, the house would collapse.
