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.
