Pet King
chapter-735

Zhang Zian had grown up in Binhai City, so he had spent a lot of time playing on the beach. As far as he could recall, starfish and sea urchins were occasionally spotted on the beach, but for so many of them appear together in the same area was unheard of.

Zian glanced worriedly at the octopus that had squeezed itself back into the crack of the rocks after the predation. He then turned around and, at the top of his voice, shouted to Famous, "Be careful when all of you are coming over. Some of the animals in this area might be dangerous, so don't touch any of them!"

Zian's voice traveled far and wide as it was carried by the sea's breeze. Famous barked once as a response to Zian.

Richard, too, stopped being noisy. It jumped out from Zian's hood and onto his shoulder, curiously watching the increasingly concentrated and peculiar marine creatures.

"Ga ga! Pay more attention you idiot. I don't want to take care of your corpse!"

Zhang Zian was more worried about where Galaxy had gone They were already halfway through the headland, yet there was still no sign of Galaxy.

Zian did not even have the time to look at his phone to track the unknown elfin. It was already very difficult for him to keep his balance on the slippery rocks with his two hands.

"Ga! Stop!" Richard suddenly cried out, "What's that disgusting thing in the front on the left? Don't step on it! Stepping on it would definitely splash stinking green mucus everywhere!"

Zhang Zian's attention was mostly on his feet to prevent any slipping. He stopped his steps after he heard Richard and looked towards the direction it had pointed.

Zian didn't see anything at first, but soon, a mollusk-like creature with a color similar to sand suddenly moved.

The mollusk squirmed and crawled to the edge of the muddy ground. Its body was fat, flat, and covered with hard bristles; it was just like a slug that grew hair. The size of the mollusk was not small, either––it was about the size of half an adult woman's arm and was estimated to weigh about one to one and a half kilograms.

Its body was yellow with a hint of white, while the bristles were of a bright golden color.

The most terrifying thing was that it had a very strange, grayish-black head and it had no eyes––only a giant mouth that was not proportionate to the size of its head. In its mouth were two pairs of triangular, sharp teeth-–just looking at them would send chills down your spine.

Richard's description was right. It was really disgusting.

Zhang Zian squatted down and gave it a careful look. He took in a breath of cold air and said, "If I'm not wrong, this creature appeared once in the Illustrated Handbooks of Rare Pets. It's generally known as a sea caterpillar but its scientific name is Aphrodita. The Aphrodita isn't really rare––there have been classifications of it in many sea areas around the world––but this one here seems to be a rare subspecies discovered by scientists in the cold waters of Antarctica in the year 2012… It is known as 'Eulagisca Gigantea!'"

"Ga? Really can't tell that this disgusting thing has such a background… But didn't it appear in the South Pole? How did it get here? We are not far from the North Pole here," Richard asked in amazement and excitement.

"I'm not too sure." Zhang Zian shook his head. "Maybe this creature also exists in the North Pole and has yet to be discovered."

Richard flapped its wings and flew over from Zian's shoulders, hovering over the Eulagisca Gigantea.

"It's dangerous! Don't get close!" Zhang Zian hurriedly reminded.

The moment Richard heard Zian, it instinctively flapped its wings to fly up higher.

In a split second, the Eulagisca Gigantea, that had once seemed sluggish, suddenly opened its mouth. Its sharp, brown teeth grew out another five centimeters and it lunged towards Richard!

Richard could almost hear the sound it made from the upper and lower jaw clashing against each other.

Thank god Richard flew up higher just in time; otherwise, that one bite would have left a hole in its body.

Several bird feathers drifted in the air. Richard was scared out of its wits and it hurriedly flew back to Zhang Zian's shoulder. It no longer dared to approach the horrifying monster.

Zhang Zian was also frightened quite badly––he almost thought that he was going to lose the b*tch bird.

"Holy sh*t! I only flew over after I calculated the height that it would not be able to reach, but I didn't know its teeth could grow! I've not heard about the existence of such monsters in this world!"

Richard was still completely shocked and was talking endlessly to vent about his fear and uneasiness.

"This kind of animal is like this… their teeth are extendable. It's exactly because other animals hold the same mentality as you, which is why they fall prey to them." Zhang Zian continued, "In addition to that, those gold bristles of theirs are also poisonous."

Richard felt a little more at ease after it clasped Zian's shoulders tightly with its claws. "By the way, I was so close to it earlier, yet I still failed to make out if the monster was a male or female."

"It's both male and female––they are hermaphrodites," Zhang Zian explained.

"Ga? Hermaphrodites? It's both the top one and the bottom one?" Richard cried out in a sudden realization. "No wonder it looks so disgusting! Maybe even its own kind are disgusted!"

Although this Eulagisca Gigantea had no eyes, the countless bristles on its body were able to sense the flow and vibration of the sea water and air. It could even sense Zhang Zian's footsteps and his voice.

It sensed that Zhang Zian was much larger in size compared to the reckless bird. Feeling threatened, it started to squirm its body around to look for sea water in an attempt to escape.

"Ga ga! It's running away. Are you just planning to look? Weren't you planning to start an aquarium? Bringing it back as a kind of gimmick is not a bad idea… How about having this be the first resident? Since this monster was only discovered in 2012, it shouldn't be listed in the International Endangered Species List, right?"

Richard was frightened quite badly earlier, so it tried to convince Zian as a part of its revenge. It couldn't just sit there and watch as the Eulagisca Gigantea make its escape.

"Indeed. It's not listed in the endangered species list because people know very little about this creature. Even their population size is not known."

Zhang Zian nodded. He was also hesitant about how the Eulagisca Gigantea should be dealt with.

Although it looked disgusting and was dangerous, it was still rare, after all, so to just let it go was wasting God's gift. Corruption and wastage were also just heinous crimes.

Ever since he had arrived in Germany, be it Berlin or the coastal town, both Karl and Reina had taken great care of him and he had yet to thank them.

That old man who ran the pet shop for his entire life was fond of hunting for strange animals, so why not catch this Eulagisca Gigantea as a gift for Karl?

In addition, there was something that he had always been too embarrassed to ask… Germany's aquarium equipment held a worldwide reputation for quality, and Zian had wanted Karl's help to get ahold of a batch of German branded aquarium equipment.

If a worker wanted to do a good job, then he must first sharpen his tools.

Marine lives were all very delicate because the ocean was the world's largest ecosystem. Moving marine life from the sea into a narrow aquarium was inevitably an adjustment that they would not be used to it. So, the perfect aquarium equipment was necessary in order to maintain their lives.

However, Zian refused to use his hands to catch the monster in front of them. It was going to be very painful if he were bitten or stung.

Zian took out his mobile phone and looked at the five normal pet slots provided by the game . It looked like they were finally going to be put to use.
